Is thus that British, French, German or
Italian trade always found the greatest
assistance at the start from the numer-
Gus communities Of those nationalities,
which supported it, at its beginnings
and which later impaired their tastes
or their examples to their own homes
and to those of their neighbors.

Trade Ties
"The North American has not had
this appreciate clinical circumstance
in his favor, because his immigration
has always been very limited in the
River Plate. 1t was necessary that tho
war should break totally the ties of the
past in order to engender a new and
positive direction of the fundamental
currents of our imports and exports.
Necessity has imposed new routes. 1t
is necessary that the government and
the business men Of the union should
think about the manner of transform
ing the artificial and transitory char
acter of these economic currents, see
ing that the most natural aspiration
of every country is to extend it's COM
merce and influence and to open new
markets to it's wealth.
ITO arrive at this result it would be
necessary necessarily to take into ac-
count factors and concepts the over
looking of which might signify later
on an obstacle, or real loss of much
that has been gained to-day by the
Americans at the expense of the en-
tirety of the German trade, killed by
the war, or Dutch trade, cut off by
the lack of shipping. and Of the trade
of their own European allies, who are
likewise affected by the lack of ship
ping Or the industrial inhibition which
the war occasions. Again, the CONNER
cial rectitude so faithfully observed by
the European traders and industrialists
was not the most outstanding virtue
OF the United States exporters in the
first years of the war. The complaints
which our traders and purchasers form
ulated on occasion regarding the lack
Of economic loyalty or commercial hon
esty against innumerable American
traders who exacted payment in ad-
vance and then did not forward the
quantities or the qualities Of the goods
purchased were numerous.

In Remembrance Of Elmer Bymaster
Softly the stars are cleaning,
Upon quiet grave,
Where sleepeth without
Dreaming one we loved,
But could not save.
He's gone to that beautiful city.
Where the streets are paved
With pure gold;
Where God reigns forever,
With mercy and love untold.
God needed another soldier
For his mighty angel band,
So he called our darling Elmer
To his bright eternal band.
Loved ones, don't weep,
His cares on earth are DER,
Some day in the beautiful,
Somewhere you'll meet,
To part no more.

Pasturing Alfalfa
BY J. c. KLINE, County Agent

Many farmers have secured excel
lent stands of alfalfa since the season
has been almost ideal for starting
this crop.
Pasturing or cutting alfalfa this late
IN the season is not recommended,
since it needs good growth for pro-
lection during the winter.
The writer has seen many fields of
alfalfa ruined on account of allowing
the stock to eat it off down to the
ground. Keep the stock Off An ex-
ira growth will do the land good and
insure the crop against winter killing.
One ton of apples is required to
make $50 gallons of cider.

NEW SEED PRICES
 EFFECTIVE TO-DAY
Important Changes In The Cotton Seed Market Were Made By Ad-
 ministrator Sunday Night.

The following telegram was re- ceived by the Independent this morn ing from the federal food admlnistra- tors office at Little Rock.
 "After receiving analysis of cotton seed selected by county food admlnls- trators in 85 counties of the state, an important change in the cotton seed market was announced Sunday night by State Food Administrator Hamp Williams, which becomes effective on Monday, October IA, as follows:
 "Authorized prices for cotton seed in zone 1 $7O per ton, zones and 5 s69. zones and $67. In wagon lots S3 less in each instance.
 "State Chemist Manglesdorff, un- der whose personal supervision three analysis were made, certified the re- suit to MT. Williams, who has issued the following statement:
 q desire the producers to clearly understand that if they are not sat isfied with these new values which were determined by careful analysls of seed selected by county food ad- ministrators from the different zones that they are not compelled to sell their seed at those prices, but may hold their seed two weeks when re- suit of new analysis to be made will be announced. The basis for the price is that proposed by a delega- ton of prominent famers and aerlcui- tural experts in conference with of- fieials of the U. s. floor administra- tion. who, after studying the situa- tion, recommended that prices on cot ton seed be figured on sliding scale according to the oil content, With S1l per ton in car lots for seed containing Al gallons of oil"

DELIVERY WILL
 CONTINUE HERE
Gr0cerymen Fail To Reach An Agree ment Whereby Local Deliveries
 Would Be Stopped.

That the delivery of groceries in Newport will be continued as here tofore was made plain Sunday at a meeting of local grocerymen at the county court house. The meeting was not attended by all the grocery merchants of the city.
 The Independent had been informed that it was practically certain that the grocerymen of Newport would reach an agreement this week where by the delivery of purchases would be stopped, thereby releasing the men engaged in making deliveries for work at the congresses and mills, and announcement to that effect was made in Saturdays paper.
 However, it has since developed that this agreement will not be reached and that delivery of grocer ies will be continued as usual.

J. E. PARROTT IS
 SERIOUSLY HURT
Sustans Fractured Skull And Other Injuries As Result Of Runaway,
 And He May Not Live.

A most deplorable accident oc- cured at 11:30 o'clock this morning when J. E. Parrott, aged 67 years, of Tuckerman, was thrown from his wa gon when the team he was driving took fright and ran away. The acci- rent took place at the Iron Mountain crossing near the cotton compress in the northern part of Newport MT. Parrott sustained a fractured skull, his right leg was broken, and other injuries added to the seriousness of his condition. He was immediately taken to the office of Dr. l.. E. Will lis, where medical aid is being admin istered. It is feared that he cannot live.
 MT. Parrott came to Newport this morning after a load of lumber and when he started home, crossing the railroad track, his team became frightened when the lumber slipped down onto the animals. They be- gan running and MT. Parrott was thrown from the wagon against a fire plug near the street.
 The injured man is one of the best citizens of Jackson county. He has lived all his life in this section, and his friends are limited only by the number of his acquaintances, who will be deeply shocked to hear of his con- dition.
 A son of MT. Parrott, Bryan Par rott. resides in Newport, and is deputy circuit clerk. Three other sons, Alfred and Joe and Jesse are at their fathers side at the sanitarium. Another son, Lieut.. Edgar Parrott, is in France.

ABOUT $50,OOO
 IS NEEDED NOW
And Patriotic Citizens Of Newport And Union Township Are Urged
 To Buy More Bonds.

In page advertisement today ap- pears the names of residents of New port and Union township who have voluntarily purchased Fourth Liberty Bonds. Our readers are asked to peruse this advertisement thoroughly.
 Tomorrow the big drive for some thing like $50,000 will start. A fly ing squadron of salesmen will comb the town and township for more sub- scriptions. Those who have not bought bonds will be asked to do so this week, and others will be asked to buy more than their volunteer subscriptions have amounted to.
 Help to put the township over the top. Remember that peace is a dis tant matter, and that to bring about peace, we must buy bonds. Should peace come tomorrow, there still would be the need of an over-sub- scription to the Fourth loan. The troops would have to be brought home and many other matters dis posed of that require money. The government has been spending money in advance of raising it, and if you are a patriot, you will arise to your full height and do your full share.

The young man incloses two poems, which he says expresses the sentiment of all the sailors and soldiers. One of them we publish, but the other will have to be omitted for lack of space. Young Brown says he received the Independent while he was at Great Lakes, Illinois, and only wished he could receive it weekly over there.
 He says further:

With The Exception Of Area North Of Douai The Allied Advance T Appears To Have Been Slow
 ing Down Elsewhere.
AMERICAN PROGRESS IS SLOW.
(By The Associated Press.)

The Germans have abandoned Laon and the whole St. Gobain region. The French, after reoccupying Laon, pressed on until the line now runs from the Disc river above La Fere to the eastern end of Chemin Des Danes, while the Italian troops which participated in the advance are now engaged on the hills north of the Ali lette. With the exception of the area north of Douai there appears to have been slowing down of the all lied advance elsewhere. This may indicate that the Germans have reached the Funding or Brunhold line In the region of Douai the Bri- ttish are fighting their way forward against desperate resistance.
 On the Champagne front the French are less than five miles from the Rethel railway junction.
 The Americans in Argonne are through the Kriempild line, but their progress is slow.

Washington, Oct. 14. German'ys reply to President Wilson reached Switzerland this morning in official form. It is in the German text, translation of which is identical with that received by wireless Saturday night.
 The Swiss charge delivered the note to the state department without comment. Earlier in the day Secre- taries Baker, Lansing and Daniels held a conference with the president at the White House. Colonel B. M. House, who accompanied the presi- dent from New York, joined in the conference. After the cabinet offi- cers left, the president remained alone in his study, where nearly all his notes and utterances have been drafted.
 The only intimation that has come so far regarding the probable course of the president is that he is sure to act quickly and positively.

"LET HIM LIVE.

As long as flowers their perfume
 give, So long I'd let the kaiser live, Live. and live for a million years, With nothing to drink but Beglian
 tears, With nothing to quench his awful
 thirst, But the salted brine of Scotchman's
 curse. I would let him live on dinner each
 day Served from silver on golden tray; Served with things both dainty and
 sweet, Served with everything but things
 to eat. And I'd make him bed of silken 2 sheen, With costly linens to lie between, With covers of down and fillets of
 lace, And downy pillows piled in place. Yet, when to it's comforts he would
 yield, It would stink with the rots of the
