 German Govt.

PARIS, Oct. S.-Nettled by the eff feet of the Scandinavian translation of Hugh Gibson's book, The Rape of Belgium" in Norway. Sweden and Denmark. the German foreign office. through its official propaganda bureau, has accused the author of espionage during September and October. 1914.
 MT. Gibson at that time was Secre. tary of the American legation at Brus- sels. His recall from his post at Brussels during the German occupa- tion was requested from Washington by Baron vOn der Lacken. German civil governor of Brussels. He is now Paris representative of the committee on public information.
 An article in the Politiken of Copen. hagen states that on numerous occa- sions Gibson took advantage of his diplomatic immunity" and the pass ports given him by Von Jarotsky, Won Luttwitz, and Baron von der Goltz al. lowing him to cross German lines, to carry information to the Belgian and allied armies.
 The Germans make the formal charge that on one of Gibson's trips from Brussels to Antwerp during the siege he brought full, complete re. port of the number and location of German troops investing the fortress. location of siege guns and other val uable military information.

tGnt and praiswOrthy business OF TetteC1Hy GeOr-
ala of the Stigma lUItich the presence OF Thomas
W. HardLvick in the United States Senate as one
of her representatives attaches to her good name.
Mr. Harris addressed huge audience OF South
west GeOrgians at Blue Springs this morning,
the occasion being a patriotic demonstration on
the nations birthday.
Mr. Harris is a candidate for the United
States Senate, and as such he is in some respects
unique He is not the nominee of any political
ring, clique or faction. He entered the race
against Senator HardlOick in response to senti
ment Which developed in every corner of the
state. When it became clear to the people of
Georgia that Senator Hardloick had utterly de-
str0yed his usefulness and that he WOuld con-
tinue to advocate policies and support measures
Ohich the great majority of his constituents en-
pIdticalIy repudiated, thoughtful GeOrgians be-
gan casting about for strong man to lead the
fight against disIOyalty in this state. That many
IUOuld be IOiIling to enter the race IUGS clear,
and that too many lCOuld run IUas to be feared.
There fO[LOUed a process of elimination LULich
has been a splendid tribute to Mr.. Harris, for,
though several other gentlemen in Georgia are
still running against Senator HGrdICick it is
clear to all except those WhO refuse to see that
Mr.. Harris is the only man really in the race.

1t is noticeable that the politicians are not
running Mr. Harris Campaign, and therein is
one OF the chief reasons for his political strength
He did not get his orders in Atlanta did not seek
the U. II. OF any faction, and has not yet knocked

Know of Any Walnut?

President Wilson's appeal to the Boy souts of America to help win the war by locating supplies of black walnut trees has been followed by arrange ments under which the war depart ment, the forest service. and the Boy Scout organization have joined efforts to find the needed timber.
 As President Wilson pointed out. the war department programme makes the securing of black walnut lumber for use in manufacturing airplane pro pellers and gunstocks of the utmost importance. War department and for est service officials are combing the country for black walnut timber, which can no longer be found in abund- ance anywhere but has to be culled, often as single trees from mixed forest growths. Much of the black walnut that is left is in farmers woodlots. and 1t is primarily to locate this that the Boy Scouts have been called into serv- ice. In the aggregate, there are said to be large supplies.
 Many thousands of blanks and letters of instructions are being printed by the government. for distribution to Scouts and sccoutmasters throughout the re- zion in which black walnut trees may be found as far east as Connecticut, northward in New York to and be- yond the Canadian line, southward al- most to the Gulf os Mexico, and vest ward far into the prairie states, but the Ohio and Mississippi valley states. the middle Atlantic states and the southern Appalachian region are ex- pected to furnish most of the supply. As reports are turned in by the scout masters, they will be tabulated by the forest service and reported to the war department.

Retailers Not Licensed

Retailers of farm equipment are not required to secure licenses. but they must not prohteer, says statement issued by the United States department of agri- culture explaining certain features of President Wilson's recent proclamation establishing a licensing system for the farm implment trade.
 The provisions of the food control act of August 10, 1917, under which was Issued the Presidents proclamation of May IA, 1918, bringing under license the manufacture, importation, distribution and storage of tools, implements, ma ehinery and certain other farm equip ment, expressly exempt retailers as such from the licensing requirements and de- fine a retailer as "a person, copartner- ship, firm, corporation or association not engaging in the wholesale business whose gross sales do not exceed $1OO,000 per annum." However, under the provisions of the food control act, retailers will not be allowed to profiteer; under the regulation retailers engaging in such practice will not be able to secure a supply of farm equipment
 The regulations provide that license shall not, without the express sanction of the Secretary. of Agriculture, sell any farm equipment to any person engaged In the business of selling or utilizing such equipment, if the licensee has knowledge that such person, after the regulations became effective. has violated the provisions of the food control act by making an unjust or unreasonable rate or charge in selling or otherwise han ding or dealing in such equipment or by holding, contracting for, or arranging TOT quantity in excess of the reasonable requirements of his business for use or sale by him for a reasonable time.

Six Carloads of Jerseys

The dairy business is increasing quite rapidly in the vicinity of Selma As is we'll known the dairy industry in Alabama amounted to very little until the coming of the boll weevil. The folks in the vicinity of Selma, since the coming of this pest, have gone into the dairy busi- ness on a considerable scale.
 Just a few days ago J. P. Quinerly, dairy husbandman of the Alabama ex- tension service. returned from Salem, O.. bringing six carloads of registered Jer- sey cattle for the patrons of the Selma creamery. MT. Quinerly was accompa- nied by MT William Hardie the exten- sion man for the Selma creamery. The cattle were very carefully selected and tuberculin tested
 These gentlemen were able to buy the cattle at very reasonable prices, on ac- count of the acute labor shortage in Ohio. While We have a labor shortage in the south, it is nothing to compare with what it is in Ohio, according to MT. Quinerly
 These cattle were sold at cost to the patrons of the creamery. Any man own- ing cows and selling cream to the cream cry could buy as many more cattle as he already had on hand, giving S6 notes to local bank, one coming due every two weeks, interest at per cent. Pay ment of these notes is taken from the creamy check.
 The cost of the cattle varied from s125 to $225, avera ging about $15o In the six cars were IS herd bulls, around 30 heifer calves and s9 mature cows. All of these cattle came from the Winona Cow Testing association, which is known far and wide for the high-class cattle ,, pr odueed-
 This is the third trip Messrs Quin- arlv and Hardia have made to Ohio for the Selma creamery. The first time they brought one carload of 2s grade animals; the second time only one carload was brought, bu these were all registered. The fact that they brought six carloads on their third trip indicates how well pleased the patrons of the creamery were with the selections of these men. These cattle were sold within radius of 20 to 9 miles of Selma.
