MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 17.-Ger-
man propaganda is gradually being
weeded out in the south German
sympathizers are less numerous
than formerly.
Coats Of tar and feathers admins
tered in some sections of the coun-
try, notably the southwest, have had
beneficial effect. Councils of home
defense are being organized and the
pro-German Is able TO see the hand
writing on the wall.
Regardless of the declaration Of
high government officials that Ger
man subjects must not he summar-
lily dealt with, Germans and German
sympathizers are able to determine
the complexion of public sentiment
and are not so willing 70 spread
poison.
Numerous arrests of alien enemies
have been made in Jacksonville.
Birmingham. Atlanta, Chattanooga,
Memphis, New Orleans, Mobile,
Oklahoma City, Dallas and Fort
Worth. Camps where alien enemies
are informed are gradually filling up
and Jail cells are being occupied b.
admirers of the kaiser and his
methods.
1t is indicated that public senti-
ment will demand that even strong
er measures be taken by the gov
eminent.
Subjects of Austria are not as bel
ligerent as the subjects Of Germany.
They are innumerable communities
where Germans and German SYM
pathizers still heap vituperations on
the head of Pres't Wilson and the
American government. but they are
always careful to speak only When

NARROW. A H. Spaulding. L. ]. Cd
den, W. w. Randall, w. G. Clark, Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. McCargar, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Hanson from Washington.
The sale was financial success.
Seventy seven head were sold, in
GLIDING a large, number of small
calves and good number of aged
COWS. The herd brought nearly $685.
O00, or an average of $3.50 per head.
This being a dispersal sale, the
Mankato parties had an opportunity
of buying a young herd bull, which
the Colds purchased from e. c..
Schroeder of Moorhead. This bull
was purchased by ]. c. NARROW and
W. w. Randall While this animal
topped the sale at $1,000, he brought
much less than the Colds had former
ly paid for him, and is rare bargain,
having some of the highest yearly
record ancestry in his pedigree of
any bull ever brought to the southern
part of Minnesota.
Nine dams in six generations back
of this bull have each made about
thirty pounds butter in seven days;
five dams in four generations back
have each made. above 1000 pounds
butter in one year; three animals in
the first three generations back have
won firsts at the National Dairy show;
eight of his nearest dams in four gen.
erations, averaged in one year over
1000 pounds butter each
His granddam, one sister and the
dam, making three head, sold for $780,
600 to H. F. Du Pont at Winterthur,
Delaware Another full sister to the
granddam of this bull sold month
ago to Emmons Blaine at Lake Mills,
Wisconsin, for $4,000. Early in the
spring this COW made forty two
pounds butter in seven days, the larg-
est seven day record ever made in
this state.
Mr.. L. j. Odden also purchased a
fine cow at this sale.
