No Price Fixing on
Cotton Recommended

President Wilson last night was
given report based on a survey of
the cotton situation by DR.. Thomas
W. Page, chairman of the cotton COM
mittee of the War Industries Board.
The report recommended that no
basic price be fixed on cotton by the
government, setting forth that there
Is no cotton shortage.
At one time President Wilson Ia
vored the fixing of cotton price, but
later agreed that such action should
be postponed until an official and
thorough survey of the situation
could be made.

FAMOUS FIELD OF BLOOD"
Bald to Be Spot Judas Purchased
With the Silver for Which He
Sold His Master.

Just outside the walls of Jerusalem,
IN the Valley Of Hinnom, is a rocky
plain known as the Aceldama or
Field Of Blood. 1t is the potter's field,
purchased with the 30 pieces of silver
for which Judas sold his master Here
for centuries visitors to the holy city,
dying while on their pilgrimage found
a resting place.
Gray and barren, 1t Is a desolate
spot. solitary but for the chance Wis
itor and q few withered gray-clad
monks from nearby monastery. For
a small fee, one of these ancient re-
cluses will show you the sights of the
place. Caves and underground pas
sages, honeycombed with tombs, are
cut in the rocky field. Your guide
leads you down age-worn steps, cur
perhaps In the sixth century, into
crumbling halls. His torch casts flick
ering uncanny shadows on the damp
gray walls. The place seems to re-
sent your intrusion; it is the place
of Sleep" the hall of the dead. On
one side is the tomb Of some warrior
monk who followed the fortunes OF
Richard Lion Heart Of England to the
holy land, dying at the very gates of
the city his master had hoped to con-
quer. He must have died pennilsss,
too, as 80 many of these zealots did,
else his bones had not rested In thu
potter's field.
Near Aceldama is a ruined charnel
house, said to have been built by the
Crusaders for their dead. 1t Is a tum-
bling ruin, nearly thirty feet long by,
twenty wide, with one side Of naked
rock. Beneath 1t are two Of the larg-
est caverns, their rock sides pierced
with tombs and shallow graves. In
the roof Of the ruin are holes through
which the bodies Of the dead wers
lowered.
The Field OF Blood Is on the north
eastern slope of the Hill Of EVIL Coun-
ell, where tradition says the villa of
Caiaphas stood, and where the CHIEF
priest and elders plotted the execus

our system OF mixed farming and live
stock production. This gives the rails
ing of sheep new appeal in older
farming areas.
The main factor in determining the
| cost of other animal products is the
value of grain and mill feeds; pastur-
age and roughage are important, but
both beef and pork require consider.
able use Of concentrated feeds. The
quire very much smaller proportion
of fat and therefore a smaller use Of
grain than is required in these other
meat animals. Sheep are able 10 get
good portion of their feed from
rough, permanent grass pasture and at
the same time keep 1t clean Of weeds.
This increases rather than decreases
the cattle-carrying capacity Of the pas
ture. AS sheep require comparative
iy little Of the owners labor, the labor
cost per dollars worth Of wool or
lambs is lower than in any other farm
animal product. While the labor re-
quired in raising sheep is not heavy
it is continuous and somewhat differ
ent from that required in the care of
other stock.
Many of the obstacles that have
hindered the progress of sheep rails
Ing in intensive farming districts have
been or are being overcome. The COM
petition given sheep growing on farms
by the production of sheep on lower
priced range land is being removed.
A second but only temporary obstacle
to a quick increase in sheep produc-
ton lies in the fact that comparative
ly few farmers are as well qualified
to care for sheep as for other classes
of stock. The needs and habits of
sheep differ from those of horses, and
swine, but present no problems that
viii not be met by interested study
and observations supported by salts
factory returns.

CHAPTER lV-contlnued.

The dead bodies were seized by two
men, one at the head and the other at
the feet, and thrown into the ditch.
Corpses were handled exactly as was
a board to be used In building bridge.
Legs and arms were tossed likewise
into the ditch. Dead horses and dam
aged batteries had to be removed. We
were not strong enough to remove dead
horses. We managed to capture horse
which was running wild and hitched
him to the carcasses. Corpses hanging
In the trees were left there. No one
cared anything about them.
Canteens and knapsacks of the dead
were searched for food and drink and
whatever we found was eaten with the
greatest relish.
French soldiers who had died Of
sunstroke covered the road. Others
crawled to right and left of the road
and waited there for relief or DEATH
We did not dare to help them. The
order was to advance and we had TO
march on and on. The captain told US
we had to pursue the fleeing enemy
with all our strength and much dis
content was manifest on receipt of this
order.
After being on our feet day and
night, Staying like barbarians, taking
no time to eat or rest, we continued to
receive commands to maintain the pur-
suit with all haste. The captain I'M
derstood how we felt and tried to
pacify us by friendly conversation.

SAVE MONEY FOR FARMERS
Direct Testimony Showing That tho
Woodpeckei Should Be Protected
by All AsrlculturIsts,

We are assured on high authority
that If birds were as numerous today
as they were so years ago it would
mean saving of many million dollars
to American farmers. The Slaughter
Of migratory birds is surely followed
by the increase Of destructive insects,
Among the farmers bird friends are
the woodpeckers, especially the red,
headed members Of the species.
In proof there is cited the following
instance: A pair Of them nestled In a
dead cottonwood tree near an orchard.
One day the observer watched them
through a pair Of glasses. The young
birds were about half grown. The
parents made 90 trips In one hour,
each time with a worm. 1t is safe to
say that they saved SO apples In that
hour-a box worth, say 81. If the
birds worked ten hours a day. they
were worth $40 to the owner of that
orchard, or, In the three weeks the
birds were in the nest 500. 1t is plain,
then, that no farmer can afford to kill
WoOdpecker.

CHAPTER v.

! Not far from Sommepy, the French
rear guard stopped again. Four bat
teries of our artillery were brought
into position and our company, along
with machine guns, were ordered to
protect the artillery. The artillery Of
ficers did not think this sufficient pro-
lection because the airplanes had dis
covered the presence Of strong French
cavalry detachments and a cavalry at
tack was suspected. However, a
stronger guard could not be provided
and there was nothing to be done but
take our position and make the best
of the situation. We dug ourselves In
to the right and left of the batteries,
In a field of small pine trees. The ma
chine guns were set up and supplied
with ammunition. We were then given
instructions as to what to do in the
event of a cavalry attack. An old
major of infantry, with white hair,
took command. Our unit was placed
with the infantry, but our "brave" Of
ficers disappeared suddenly. To them

been assigned to assist infantry, our
officers considered themselves super
fluous and took French leave.
Our instructions were as follows: In
the event of a cavalry attack, every
thing must be quiet The gun must
be pointed but hidden. The machine
gun must not be fired until the major
In command gives the order Then
there must be a lively, quick fire. Our
batteries fired violently at biplane
flying high over them which gave sig
nails with star shells which were read
only by the observer.
This state of affairs affects only
pioneer" officers who, when their
units are attached to infantry or chas-
seur divisions. scarcely ever take part
In a battle. This was the case with
our officers during my whole war ca
reer They remained far away from
the gunfire In comfortable security.
This Is also the case with many In
fantry captains and almost all higher
officers. Majors. colonels, etc, never
take part in storming attack, l was
told and several times / observed this
myself.
But the expected attack did not
come. the enemy's infantry was not to
be seen. We prepared to resume our
march and were all ready to move
when the order came to bivouac. The
spot where we were to rest was as
usual fixed by the stan so that they !
knew where to find US at any time.
Hardly had we reached the place when |
bur field kitchen, which we supposed |
had been lost, appeared as if it had |

Kruger as Solomon.

That very canny person, President
Kruger, was once called upon. as King
Solomon before him, to pass judgment
in matter of ownership. The case was
that of two brothers. who had been left
a farm and could not agree as to the
division which had to be made. They
agreed that, rather than take the mat
ter to the courts, they would let Presi-
dent Kruger decide. President Kruger
appears to have hesitated about cs lit
tie as King Solomon did. He instructed
the elder brother to make what he con-
sidered a fair division, and then he
gave first choice to the younger broth
er. A solution like Solomon's, both
mastery and simple.

GOOD TEAMS ARE VALUABLE
Mean More to Up-to-Date Farmer
Than Is Generally Believed
Plan to Raise Colts.

Good teams mean more to the up
to-date farmer than is generally be-
lieved. Without good teams it is
very difficult matter to do good farm
Ing. But at present prices farmers
may hesitate to buy heavy draft horses
and mules, Notwithstanding the fact
that they are after all economical.
1t would be good plan to get some
heavy mares and raise colts for sale
or to take the place of lighter animals
