BREAK IS STILL
UNCONF |RME:O
WASHINGTON HEARS INCREASED
EVIDENCE OF TENSION, BUT
WARNS AGAINST TOO MUCH
OPTIMIST.

WASHINGTON, D. c., JULY 30
Reports that Turkey has broken with
Germany, though unconfrmed here
late today, gave increased evidence
that all is not well at Germany's
back door.
The state department, however,
cautioned against too much reliance
being placed in the report of such a
break.
The authorities here are inclined
to believe there has been no actual
break in relations between the ma
tions, but admit there is sufficient
semblance of verify in the story to
indicate that Turkey is growing ir
creasingly imperious in her demands
npcr Germany and Bulgaria.

today when Representative Grantland

Knight challenged his statement. I'm
less satisfactory settlement of the
matter is arrived at, it is certain that

COLUMBUS PRESS.
Announcement was authorized this
morning by Thomas Harold, presi-
dent of the Americus Compress Com
pany, that the Americus press, which
has been operated by the Atlantic
Compress Company during fifteen
years past, would in future be con-
Quoted by the owners, and that local
capitalists who built the plant win
hereafter direct its operation as well.
The compress here is one Of the
most important in this entire section,
and there are pressed there annually
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
thirty thousand bales Of cotton, or
practically the whole of the crop
marketed in Americas. The plant is
owned by Messrs. Council and Har-
rold. and is considered one of the
finest properties in the county, being
well equipped for the work of COM
pressing cotton and having ample
warehouse room for storage of
large reserve supply of the staple.
About fifteen years ago the plant
was leased to the Atlantic Compress
Company by the owners, the Atlantic
people being engaged at that time in
the establishment Of an extensive
chain of congresses in the South
eastern states. This corporation made
some improvements in the plant
shortly after their lease became ef-
fective, and since that time have OPP
Grated it, quite proftably. In 1914,
when the cotton crop was drug ON
the market here, and thousands of
bales were held by Sumter planters
owing to the low prices prevailing,
the big warehouse of the compress
was used to house vast quantity
of the staple which was subsequent
ly pressed and shipped to other mar
Tets as rapidly as sold by the own
ers.
J. NJ Tobin, present superintendent
of the plant for the Atlantic Compress
Company, came to Americas twelve
years ago from Clarksdale, Miss.
where he had previously managed a
smaller press for the same concern.
He has been in charge of operations
at the Americus plant since that time
and is temporarily directing the work
there for the owners. He expects to.
leave about August 18th for Columbus
where he will become superintendent
Of the Atlantic Company's big plant

TRACTOR SHORT
. COURSE PLANNED
UNIVERSITY PLANNING FOR
= SPECIAL INSTRUCTION OF
TRACTOR OWNERS

The department of agriculture anC
mechanical engineering at the Univer-
sity of Idaho are arranging to give &
two weeks course in tractor practice
open to all farmers and everybody else
who cares to attend and take the les
sons, and a special invitation is to be
extended to women to attend the school
The exact date has not yet been fixed
but it will probably be the latter part
of January or the fore part of Febru-
ary. It is hoped to have one week of it
during the week of farmers and house
keeprs short course, when many farmers
and their wives and daughters will be
here
Dean Iddings said: 1t is the inten-
ton to give this short course for the
instruction of all tractor owners. and
especially to farmers. The plan is to
teach the farmers to repair and operate
their own tractors. Some of the best
makes of tractors will be furnished for
experimental purposes and experts will
be there to show the farmers how to
take the tractors apart and put them to-
gether and how to repair broken parts
and how to operate them
This will be the first course of this
kind ever opened in the northwest and
the university authorities think it will
be very popular. 1t is planned to have
it at time when the farmers can be
spared from their work on the farms
and can devote the entire two weeks to
study and work. There will be lectures
every day. but the greater part of the
course will be actual practice in tractor
work. There will be no tuition fee /
charged and arrangements will be made /
@ secure reasonable rates for board .
md room for all who may attend.
Professor John T. Wooley. who is
low at Boise preparing for a big tractor
during the state fair of

,harge of the instruction. Professor !.

The call was sent to Governor Alex

of the call for men from this state. To

"Can you furnish II men qualified

The board sent the following tele-

1t is felt that great hardship will be
worked upon Latah county if these men
are called for September g. for harvest
will not be half over then. The men in

gagged in agricultural work and to call
them to service now will interfere with
saving the wheat crop, which is so
badly needed for feeding the army.
