The Cove Truck and Fruit Growers
 Association met last Saturday at 2 |p. m. Frank Turner, vice president, |called the meeting to order. A few changes were recommended from the Iby-laws of last year. The association will meet on the last Saturday in Oc- tober and elect officers for the ensu-
 ing year instead of meeting in Jan uary. The association will elect
 board of directors of five, and they will elect the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer and sales manager from this number. Twice month meetings will be held during the year. Article 4 was changed to read membership fee was to be $200 instead of 25c. After quite a little discussion by some of the members as to the management of the associa- tion, there was an invitation from Frank Turner that all members and all who are interested in raising of strawberries to drive out to his straw berry farm next Saturday, October 4, and he will tell you how to raise the best strawberries in Polk county. Meet at the Cove Bank, and all go out together.

ASKS so MILLIONS TO
PAY STORAGE RENT
THOUSANDS OF TONS OF WAR
SUPPLIES BROUGHT TO AMER.
ICAN PORTS ARE Spelling.

Maj. Gen. Goethals has asked the
house military committee for an ap-
preparation of $50, 100000 to be used
in storing the enormous quantities
of surplus war supplies in possession
of the war department. Thousands of
tons are being brought back to this
country from France he said, and
the ports of debarkation have be-
come congested because no storage
places are available. He said much
of the material was being left in the
open and that the government was
losing heavily by its deterioration.
Gen. Goethals estimated the value
of the unstored supplies at billions
of dollars and said everything used
by the army was included. Some of
the materials can be disposed of he
said, but part of it must be stored
until either the market can absorb
it or the government can find use
for it.

LOOK AT YOUR ten
DOLLAR PAPER BILLS
ALSO BEWARE OF ZONES" THAT
HAVE BEEN RAISED. COUN-
TERFEITS CIRCULATING.

Note raisers are operating extern
sively throughout the west, accord
ing to Fred Tate, of the federal Sc
cret service department.
Federal reserve notes of the 81
denomination are most attractive to
pen artists, who realize a profit of 50
on each note raised and successfully
passed.
There is no reason why any one
should be the victim of note raisers. -
says Mr.. Tate. For their own pro-
lection any one should become famil-
lar with the distinguishing marks of
the new federal reserve notes. The
predominating features on federal
reserve bank notes of each denomina-
ton are easily apparent. Note the
different denominations:
One dollar note, head of Washing
ton.
Two dollar note, head of Jefferson.
FIVE dollar note, head of Lincoln.
Ten dollar note, head of Jackson.
Twenty dollar note, head of Cleve-
land.
Fifty dollar note, head of Grant.
One hundred dollar note, head of
Franklin.
81 explained these Distinguishing
marks to a Kansas City banker the
other day." Mr.. Tate continued, "and
ten minutes later the same banker
accepted one dollar note raised to
$40"
Counterfeiting is fast becoming a
past art, according to Mr.. Tate, al
though spurious coins appear at in
tervals. But the old notes and silver
certificates obtained by the. photo
mechanical process, which once
flooded the market, have become a
rarity. The raising of notes has prov
ed to be safer and surer method
and is gaining especial popularity
since the war.
A close competitor for popularity
with the federal reserve bank notes.
in the ranks of note raisers, is the
one dollar silver certificates. This is
easily identified by a reproduction of
both Lincoln and Grant on it's face.
The double pictures does not appear
on any other note of any denomina-
ton.

REAPS BIG HARVEST
AS BOGUS WAR,HERO
NEGRO'S LEG WAS CUT OFF BY
TRAIN, AND HIS SCARS CAME
FROM FIGHTS.

ST. LOUIS.-Posing as Henry
johnson, negro hero who was said
to have killed thirty-six Germans sim
gle-handed with a bolo knife, Albert
Parker, of Mobile, Ala, last night
was arrested when he appeared at
the Coliseum to tell 10000 negroes
of his experiences while under fire.
The arrest was made after detec-
tlves had read an Associated Press
dispatch from New York saying that
johnson had arrived from overseas
yesterday.
The welcome was the greatest cele-
bration ever held by negroes here.
Thousands were turned away, al
though prices of admission ranged
from rs cents to 50. Mayor Henry
W. Kiel made the address of welcome.
Parker's left leg is severed and he
carries many battle scars" Detec-
tives say he admitted his leg had
been cut off by a train and he re-
ceived his "battle scars" in various
affairs.
According to police, Parker adj
mitted having duped audiences in
Montgomery, Ala, Savannah, Ga.
Charleston, S. c., and Raleigh, N. c.,
and other southern cities, where he
had made war talks. He was said to
have received $500 for his addresses.

Triumph for English Diplomacy.
Declaring that America would be
out voted five to one by England
alone, because of the recognition of
British colonies, Senator Borah said
the league constitution was "the
greatest triumph of English diplo-
macy of three centuries" He declar-
ed that the tentative constitution
was almost Identical with that pre-
sented to the peace conference last
month by Gen. SHUTS, the British
drafting representative, and added
foreign authorities concede that the
plan involves the end of the Monroe
doctrine.
Given Unusual Demonstration.
When Senator Borah concluded,
after speaking about an hour an un-
usual demonstration occurred. While
crowded galleries applauded senators
and visiting representatives crowded
around the senator, seeking to con-
graduate him. Among the senators
were several democrats, including
Thomas, of Colorado, Gore, of Okla
homa, Smith, of Georgia, and Varda-
man, of Mississippi. The demonstra-
ton continued for five minutes, while
senate business was completely sus-
pended.
Senator Reed discussed the league
Saturday, opposing it.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, is also
preparing an address for delivery.
Senator Hitchcock is planning an
early reply to the critics of the
league.
The provision requiring America to
| fight foreign wars, he said, was "mon-
strous"
When Senator Reed concluded, af-
ter speaking more than two hours,
there was loud and long applause in
which senators, members of the house
and galleries joined. Many members
offered congratulations.

new LOAN TO Be
SHORT TERM NOTES
WILL BE FOR SEVEN BILLION
DOLLARS AND MATURE IN
ONE TO FIVE YEARS.

Short-term bonds at a high inter
est rate, offering an unusually at
tractive investment, are to be issued
for the fifth or victory" loan, ac-
cording to announcement from
Washington.
The bonds were described in Off
cial announcements as "notes," but
they will be bonds, just the same as
in former issues, except that they
will be for short terms at a high
rate. They will mature in from ore
to five years. The rates of interest
will be fixed by the secretary of the
treasury.
To Pay Fair Rate.
The government does not wish to
assume the obligation of a high in
terest rate for long period of years,
but is willing to pay an attractive
rate during the present unsettled con-
ditions. 1t is expected that events
will so shape themselves in the next
few years that a holder of these
short-term bonds, after drawing a
good interest rate until they mature,
will then be able to leash them in"
and invest the returns in business or
in other forms of securities at an adj
vantageous time. For this reason it
is expected the new bonds will find
a ready market.
Popular Campaign Planned.
Secretary Glass announces that an
intensive popular campaign for the
victory loan will start not later than
April 81. 1t is not expected that any
definite statement as to interest, tax
exemptions or other details will be
made much in advance of that date,
as conditions are constantly chang
ing. But that the new bonds will be
made an attractive investment is con-
sidered certain.

CUT COTTON ACREAGE BY
THIRD.

NEW ORLEANS, LA program

age planted to cotton and the hold
ing of the present crop for higher
prices was embodied in resolutions
unanimously passed at the closing
session today of the conference of
growers, bankers, merchants and

ducing states. The salient features

ed with 1918.

part Of the present crop for other

acreage reduction associations, whose
business it will be to obtain written
pledges to carry out the first two
provisions from every cotton grower
and cotton producer in the United
States.
Fourth. To brand any man who re-
fuses to cooperate as $50 lacking in
public spirit to forfeit the confidence
of the community in which he lives"

ton producers before which detail
ed report of the progress of the plans
outlined above is to be made by every
cotton growing state.

MONSTER AIRPLANE
BUILDING in GERMANY
END OF WAR DEPRIVED WORLD
OF SURPRISE. NEW MACHINE !
is SAID TO BE A WONDER.

BERLIN.-(By the Associated
Press. If the war had lasted a few
months longer Germany was prepar-
ed to surprise the world with an
enormous airplane. The new giant
of the air, which was planned by
Harold Wolff, an engineer, will have
its first trial at Doberitz within few
days.
The new machine is nearly 1875
feet from wing tip to wing tip and
stands more than twenty-three feet
high. 1t has six motors, with a total
of 1900 horsepower, driven by four
propellers, two of which are forward
and two aft. Each of the propellers
has four blades. Two of the motors,
it is said, can stop simultaneously,
without affecting any of the propell-
ers or having any result except to
reduce the speed of the airplane.
Fly Darkest Night.
Apart from its dimensions and
power, the new airplane is equipped
with devices enabling the pilots to
know at all times their altitude and
angle Of elevation, and also with de-
vices to tell the absolute as well as
relative direction, which, it is believ-
ed, will make flying possible on the
darkest night and in the thickest fog.
The device for determining the abso-
lutte direction consists of an instru-
ment adapted to receiving messages
from various wireless stations and
capable of such adjustment that
message from any particular station
can be heard only when the device
is turned in that direction.

These are but some of the out

ed to make against the league. Pres
ident Wilson will state the other side
of the case in his address at Bos-
ton, and from that time on America
will be plunged into an overwhelming
debate which will be without parallel
in the history of the country. Men

Think They Are Safe.

Fraud has become a business in
America. 1t never was so much of a
business as today. Those who are in
1t are shameless. They pride them
selves on their success. They think
they are safe because ninety-nine
per cent. out of a hundred are un-
willing to prosecute them criminal
ly and would prefer to keep silent
about their losses than run the risk
Of being considered publicly as a
come on" The swindlers also know
enough, or are well enough advised
by lawyers, to put little in writing
that may be used against them in
criminal proceedings.
Success, however, makes them
careless at times.
