Unproduetive Acres Do Not Seem to
ee In Demand by Buyers Of
Real Estate.

Maclaine of Lochbuie, the mill
tary and music hall celebrity, is try
| ing to sell his ancestral estate in
Null, which extends to "a 900 acres,
with deer forest, grouse moors, sal
mon rivers and lochs all so heavily
bonded that there is now practically
no net revenue, says an Edinburgh
letter writer. Possibly some Glas-
gov millionaire will relieve him of
his incubus. The duke Of Suther-
land has 248,918 acres Of his high
land estate in the market, and it viii
not be easy to sell. Castle Menzies,
with ii, 625 acres, has failed to find
purchaser, though the property has
been on offer for several years. The
fact is that though farmers are buy
ing readily when they geta good OPP
portunity, most city men would re-
fuse to accept . typical Scotch es-
tate, with all its responsibilities and
historical associations, as a free gift.
By the way, it is stated on good
authority that after the war the
duke of Sutherland intends to trans
fer his interest in what will than re-
main of the estates in Sutherland
shire after the sale by auction in the
autumn, and to take a greater inter
est in landed estate in Canada,
where he already has . very largs
acreage.

GROUP INTERESTS
MUST GIVE WAY
COUNCIL WARNS
War Unity Of Producer, Dis
tributer, Consumer Needed
To Meet II. C. l.

Washington, D. C.The United
States Council of National Defense
composed of the secretaries of war
the navy, the interior. agriculture
commerce and labor reiterated today
warning to the people of the United
States of the necessity for increased
economy and saving on the part OF
every citizen.
After outlining the causes of the
high cost of living the statement Of
the council said:
The entire nation-producer, dis
tributer and consumer alike-should
return to the unity that won the war
Group interest and undue personal
gain must give way to the good Of
the whole nation if the situation IL to
be squarely met.
Our common duty now, fully as
much as in the war, is to work and to
save. In the words of the President
in his address to TIE country on Au-
gust rs, 1919, only by increasing
production, and by rigid economy and
savings on the part of the people,
can we hope for large decreases In
the burdensome cost of living which
now weighs us down."
The Federal Reserve Board, in its
bulletin outlining the financial condi-
ton of the country just issued, says
That the high price levels which
have been attained in the United
States present grave situation is
clear from the attention which cur
rent discussion of the causes Of in
dustrial unrest is directing to the
cost of living problem. So far as
profiteering practices are responsible
Tor price aggravations, some consid-
cradle mitigation of the cost of liv-
Ing situation may be expected and in
deed is already In sight.
The problem of reducing the high
cost of living, however, is mainly that
of restoring the purchasing power OF
the dollar. The dollar has lost its
purchasing power because expansion
of credit proceeded at a rate more
rapid than the production and saving
Of goods. The way in must be the
way out. AS the way in was expan- |
sion Of credit at rate more rapid |
than the expansion of production and |
saving, the way out must be an in
crease in production and saving. The
shect OF increased saving will be a
'eduction In the volume of purchasing
media in use, and by consequence,
'eduction of prices also.
That the expansion of credit has
,een considerable factor in our
financial and price situation is clear;
hat it is still factor and one that
alls for correction by the process OF
Increasing production and savings and
" the investment OF the proceeds of
avings In. the absorption OF govern
nent bonds is equally clear"

Should peace prove permanent as
a result of the last great war, as all
hope it will, the Croix de Guerre will
have a tremendous significance to

This medal is cast in bronze and has
an elongated maltese cross as its prin-
cipal feature. A circular medallion
bearing the inscription, French Re-
publique" close to its circumference

crossed guns hint at the power that
saved civilization to better things and
impulses than a pompous autocracy
could hope to offer mankind. Insert

cross Is band of red white and blue

Materially, the medal has little real

MOBILE GUNS ON COAST
War Department Planning for Better
Defense of Washington.

War department experts have been
making careful study of the defenses
of the Chesapeake bay district and the
vicinity of Roanoke, Va, for the pur-
pose of putting into service big guns
on railway mounts to supplement the
fixed Notifications maintained for the
defense of the national capital. A num-
ber of heavy howitzers and rifles
mounted on railway carriages already
are available for the new coast de-
fenses. Other units are under consid-
GRAFTON and still others will be brought
back from France. These include II
inch and 16-inch weapons.
Coast artillery officers have called a
conference of railroad officials whose
lines center In Baltimore, Richmond
and Wilmington. N. c.. regarding the
practicability of constructing perma-
nent spurs from the main lines to the
coast along Chesapeake bay. Installa-
tion of the new batteries for the de-
tense of Washington Is said to be the
first step In program to supplement
the defenses Of both the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts with mobile big guns.

State Hail Fund
Shows Surplus

Pierre, Aug. 15.-The state hail
department shows adjustments of
losses in forty-three counties of the
state to August 8, the total being
$169,596.59. The largest amount to
any one county is Minnehaha, with
S18,026.65, and Lake is next with
nearly $4,000. This has been a
favorable year for the first under the
new state law, as the losses have not,
at least so far, been nearly so high
as in past years, and the fund has
been able to provide surplus for ex-
cess losses in other years.
Insurance Commissioner Van Camp
has issued an order to insuring com
panies operating in this state that
they will not be allowed to continue
the war surtax charged on insurance
policies by the different companies
While opposing this tax at all times
he had not the specific legal author
ity to act upon the proposition until
the laws of the 1919 session became
effective.

Farm Produce to
Continue High

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 15.-Iowa
farm products are due to retain their
present high standard of prices for
another year, but after that a period
Of readjustment is due which will re-
suit in a drop of values, Dean Chas.
+. Curtiss, of the department of ami
NAL husbandry at Iowa state college,
believes.
Dean Curtiss is jim Des Moines ar
ranging for the big exhibit which
Ames will have at the coming state
fair He has been visiting several
fairs In the United States and Can
ada and reports big attendances, even
where crop conditions have not been
as favorable as those in Iowa.
There should be little decrease in
the price of farm products this year,
as the export demand is large, the
wheat crop has been greatly over
estimated, and the yield of small
grains in many cases disappointing,
says Curtiss.
When the period of readjustment
comes, farm products are sure to fee
the decrease in prices first, and this
will be reflected in the ending of the
present general increases in values o1
farm lands.
Il agree with George Roberts IL
his statement that the best thing th'
farmer can do now is to put his prof
its into permanent Improvement o.
his farm, rather than saddling new
and greater obligations upon himself
by the purchase of property at th'
values now prevailing. or through
speculations in farm property.
When farm products drop il
value the bottom will go out of tn
present land boom, and those wh'
permit themselves to be caught will
be the unfortunate rather than thos
who have invested in permanent i'm
provements."

German Girls +:
Are Blacklisted

With the American Forces in Ger
many, Aug. 15,-Posters writtin in
German and warning German girls
against associating with Americans
recently appeared in several public
places in Coblenz and other towns on
the Rhine, the girls being urged to
refrain from making the acquaint-
ance of soldiers regardless of the fact
that the treaty of peace had been
signed At various times posters
have been put up threatening indis-
Greet girls with punishment of one
kind or another.
American officers, who investiga-
ted, say the Germans are determined
that girls who associate with soldiers
shall have their names known to the
population and that several secret
societies have been formed for that
purpose. Intelligence officers say
that on several occasions the names
of girls who are on the records of the
German police for associating with
Americans have been read to the
congregations at Sunday morning
church services. In other villages
the practice of posting the girls
names in public places was inaugu.
rated some time ago.
The officers assert that blacklists
of the girls names have been pre-
pared and are being kept for future
use, after the Americans are gone.

BY draining the land all can be farm

a great resort for hunting ducks and
geese. Sportsmen have come long
distances to hunt there. In winter
time trappers have made large sums
of money catching muskrats which
