rain IS NEEDED
BY FARMERS IN
N MASON COUNTY
Crops Are Looking Better Here Than
In Most Places But Farmers Now
Say That Rain Is Badly
Needed For the Growing
Corn Crop.

Mason county farmers are fortunate
according to those who have travelled
through this county and through 9TH
err sections of this and adjoining
states for while in other sections corn
is very small and Is not maturing
in Mason county the corn crop looks
good and the prospects for a very
good crop are fine.
The farmers now, however, report
that they are badly in need of good
rain for their corn and that a few
good rains this week would make
their corn crop one of the best, they
have raised for some time.
The tobacco is standing the warm
weather fine, in fact it has been
growing better than had been expect
ed, but good rain would benefit 1t
greatly too and all garden truck
would take on new life if it were to
rain for several days.
Threshing is now out of the way
Most of the farmers have their corn
laid by and the tobacco crop has been
topped so that they will have a sort OF
dull season for a while or until the
crops take on new growth. The weeds
have been pretty annoying this sea-
son but the crops have all been plow-
ed we'll and except in bottoms, the
weeds have been fought back very
successfully.
During the next week the farmers
will have little to do on their farms
in their crops but they have begun to
think of the harvest time for corn
and tobacco and already fear that the
labor situation will be a very big
problem which they will have con-
siderable trouble in solving.
There has been very little doing in
land sales during the past week ana
while few small farms have changed
hands during the week, nothing oil
great importance has transpired III
land.
Cattle and fowls have been dull In
this county and although last Monday
was County Court day here there was
no unusual activity in stock sales and
the sale of about two thousand sheer
was the only noticeable thing about
the stock sales.

Mayor Thomas NJ. Russell has been
offered good price for the ties which
were presented to the city by the C.

damaged by a near wreck last week.
The mayor has refused to sell the ties
however and is having them moved to

IMMIGRANTS NOW FROM LATIN LANDS

 The number of immigrants formerly entering at Atlantic ports of course, by far the greatest ber and lack of immigration has diminished labor supply and checked the abnormal school enrolments of many eastern cities. The increases in immigration through Gulf anG Pacific ports and from Canada have been large however that alien arrivals are still important factor.
 Complete figures showing immigration in recent months will be available and will, it is expected, support the conclusion already reached that except for Atlantic ports the number immigrants is in- creasing.

Mir Ford is now devoting the giant resources of his industrial establishments furnish war materials By political faith he has ually been considered republican and in the Mchi- gan primary he for all nominations. He entered the for the the behest and request of President Wilson. He has said that he considers a request from the president an order which must be obeyed.
 Commander Newberry, who holds the republican nomination, is sticking to his post in the navy and will not return to Michigan to make any campaign Likewise, Henry Ford says he will not spend dollar to be elected.
 Of all the odd situations arising out of the war is peculiar than this political So far the public knows Mr Ford has shown no marked ability a statesman and yet he is running for a statesmanly job Commander Newberry is 54 years old and was born in Detroit. His father a lead ing attorney there. Newberry graduated from the Sheffield Scientific school at Yale and returned Detroit. Though his father rich, he into railroad construction gang by choice and made good to such extent that when the road completed he made it's general passenger and freight agent He did not go back to Detroit until after his fathers death when he went to handle his fathers estate and then in 1895 he organized the Michigan Naval He worked to such good effect that the reserve used in the Spanish American war.

The Way to Victorious Peace

The first reply which the Ameri- can people should make to the report cd agreement of the German govern ment to evacuate allied territory and accept exactly and without evasion, President Wilson's peace terms, is to promptly carry the Fourth Liberty Loan lover the top," and prove that our people stand squarely behind our gov ernment.
 America demands a victorious peace. A peace based on thorough jus tice to devastated Belgium and France, and a peace which shall demand that unqualified security be given by the Central Powers that the fullest repara- ton shall be made for the crimes com mitted by a ruthless autocracy, and guarantee that Germany shall be shorn of power to ever repeat these crimes.
 The war is not over yet The funds to be raised by the Fourth Liberty Loan will be needed whether the war contin- ues or not, and nothing could be more dangerous to the cause of victorious peace than the failure of this nation to subscribe this Victory Loan over whelmingly.
