Some of the gentlemen, notably Mr..
Benz. Halfacre and Mr.. M. H. Folk
feel that an injustice has been done
them in that the heading says
"These signed pledges but failed
to reduce" They say, and
justly is seems to us, tina.
they are not now planting as much
to the plow as the minimum required
in the pledge and this head leaves the
impression that they are not keeping
their promise, and they signed simply
to let the proper calculation be made
az to the total number of acres plant
ed last year and this. For instance,
mir. Halfacre says he planted 10 acres
last year to two plows and is going
to plant the same this year, and the
rules of the association say if you are
not planting over 5 acres to the plow
you are not expected to reduce.

FOUND SOMETHING NEW!

A communication comes to US from
Columbia stating that a gigantic
"Feed Yourself" and Live at Homo
movement has been launched. 1t
sounds more like calling up the dead
past to us. Something that has been
talked and agitated by this neWspa-
per for the last 80 years and more.
We have remarked many times that
the only plan by which money could
be made farming in this section OF
the world was by raising on the farm
what you needed to support the
farm, and that if you did not you
could not make any money farming.
it, made no difference what the price
of cotton may be.
But here comes the same slogan
out of Columbia as something new.
Well, we are glad that they are be-
ginning to see the truth of the doctrine
that The Herald and News has been
preaching for SO many years. 1t is
refreshing and encouraging to US to
have our doctrine taken up and
preached even at this late day and
we trust it may result in good.
The South Carolina Cotton associa-
ton is going to launch a campaign,
we are told, along these lines. We
are glad, and here's hoping it may
have success, because the growing OF
more food stuff, and not buying all
the hay and the corn and the meat
we need, means prosperity for this
very favored section of Gods vine
ward, and nothing else will bring the
coveted prosperity, no, lot even for
ty cents the pound cotton, because
that means 40 cents bacon and S3.OO
corn and $500 the barrel flour and
everything else in proportion. Let's
all of us help in the campaign ana
further the good old doctrine we have
been preaching for so many years.
Here's our hand and all the help we
can give you.

SIGNING THE PLEDGE
AND REDUCING ACREAGE

Talking about signing the pledge
and reducing acreage the editor was
a cotton farmer in 1913 and we have
thought that we would publish our ex-
perience showing how we made money
at the business and also tell the other
cotton farmers that we had gone out
OF. the business this year so that there
might not be oveS-production Of the
staple. But somehow we had never
yet printed the record. And besides
we did not sign the pledge this year
for the reason we suppose that we
were not asked to do so, and yet we
have never desired or been entitled lo
be classed with real farmer. We
are only the kind of farmer who tells
the real farmer how the thing should
be done.
But we kept a pretty accurate ac-
count of the transaction of our farm
during 1918 and we are going TO give
the result so that others may see that
we really know how the thing should
be made profitable. We had about a
whole acre in two different fields and
it was not worked as we'll as 1t should
have been, and then we left some COT
ton in the field because Of the scarcity
of labor about picking time and the
,, high cost of picking, and yet in spite
of all these handicaps we made some
money. We planted Mr.. Nat Gista
long staple and you know the price
for this variety last year was belo"
the ordinary cotton. We had expected
to get about so cents the pound, bu'
finally sold at q cents. Here are the

Frank Lever made a fine presenta-
tion of the thanksgiving loan matter
at Little Mountain on Sunday after
noon. In fact the most convincing
and sensible that we have meard since
the several loans were begun. His
presentation was strong and the only
thing left, for the reasonable man is
to go along and lend the government
some money to carry out the contracts
we made and to keep faith with the
boys and with ourselves. No other
honest Of honorable thing to do.

THOSE WHO REFUSED TO SIGN

The Herald and News, when the list
of those who are published as refus-
ing to sign the pledge TO reduce
acreage first appeared in the obser-
: vel, wondered if they We're all, and
wondered more that the list should
contain only the small farmers, and
our first intention was not to publish
It, but it had been advertised that the
list would be published, and as we re-
ccived no complaint from any one
and, well, being short of type and be-
ing able to pick this\up from our con-
temporary, we printed it.. Not that
we may not have done the same if we
could have handled the type, and not
that we are in the least censuring our
contemporary. because he as we'll a.:
OIL, selves, knew nothing about the
list, and took it for granted that it
was all right, and no doubt is intend
ed to be expressed that the committee
thought SO too.
But somehow it did appear to is
that i all the other cotton planters III
the county had not planted more COT
ton to the mule than those who are
published as refusing to sign there
never would have been an occasion
for a movement to reduce acreage.
Some Of those who are printed as
refusing to sign are complaining that
their names should be published, and
rightly so it seems to US, though we
are not blaming any one with it. The
newspapers simply published the list
as furnished.
For instance Mr.. L. D. Ringer
complains in the Observer that there
is a mistake in his case. That last
GEAR he planted IA acres on 3-horse
farm and this year he is only plant
ing IL acres on the same farm, and
that is below the requirement of the
committee.
Rev. S. P. Koon who is the pastor
of the st. Pauls Lutheran church says
he is no farmer at all, but last year he
did plant one acre in cotton on the
patches around the parsonage, and
this year he is not planting any at
all, though his wife and children are
planting about three acres with which
he has absolutely nothing to do, that
his business is to preach the gospel
and not to farm, and he feels that he
has been done an injustice in the
publishing that he had refused to CO.
operate with a movement that is de-
signed to help the cotton farmers OF
the South. And rightly so, because
even if .his family is planting thtee
acres he would not be expected or re-
Quired to reduce acreage. We do not

at l2:l0 o'clock, Greenwich time, to-dsy
(S:l0 a. m. New York time), had reached
DC degrees north latitude, 80 degrees 80

1900 miles from her starting point.
In the first "a hours of her return

the dirigible covered 300 miles, accord
ing to advices received here.

wireless station here reported speaking
to the R.34 at 5 a. m. to-day. II failed
to get her exact position but Indications
were that the dirigible was near the
Azores.
New York, July ll.-The R34 was
estimated to be more than half way
across the Atlantic at o a. m. to-day, al
though official advices regarding the dir
igibes position were lacking. At a. m.

be held meeting to which everybody is
invited who is interested in whether
Barre shall go ahead and induce the
Peerless Knitting Mills company to To-
cate here The committee from the
Board of Trade has gone as far as it
can go with the proposition and it is
now up to the people OF Barre to say
whether they will 90 ahead and raise the
necessary funds or whether the matter
shall be dropped From all that has
been learned, this is the best proposition
ever put before the people of this city
and everybody who has the interest of
Barre at heart knows that the city needs
an industry of this kind, but in order to
secure it certain amount of money
must be raised TO be invested in the cap
ital stock of the company.
Representatives of the company will
be present to explain any matters that
are not clear and to put the proposition
before the meeting. 1t will then be up
to the people to say what shall be done.
Let everyone who is interested in Barre
and its future be present tonight and
say Just what they think should be done,
and then all take hold and help do it.

APPROPRIATION BILLS
He Is Said to Be in Doubt Concerning
the Daylight Saving Repeal in the
Agricultural Bill.

Washington, D. c., July ll.-President
Wilson still had before him to-day ap-
preparation bills passed recently by Con-
gress and it seemed doubtful whether
any of them would be signed this week.
The president was understood to feel
that the measures, carrying appropria-
tions of more than S2000,000,000, de-
served deliberate consideration.
1t was indicated at the White House
that the president was devoting consid-
cradle attention to the rider on the agri-
cultural bill repeating the daylight saw
ing law. He has before him many petit
tions, some urging that he sign the bill
and others that he veto it. So far as
could be ascertained, the presidents mind
still was open.
1t was indicated that the president
had not yet begun preparation of the
address to be delivered to the Senate,
when he presents the treaty with France
by which the United States would go to
that republics aid in case of unproyoked
attack by Germany. The treaty would
be submitted, it was thought, before Mt.

At the usual hour, 10 o'clock, he retired
to his room Mr.. Sargent, hearing an
unusual noise in Dr. Barton's room about

he found his father-in-law lying upon
the bed 1t was the latters custom to
get up. dress and read when he could
not sleep. When found he was fully
dressed and was breathing for the last
time.
He was a man with a very iovial dis
position. the characteristic which won
for him many friends in Barre during his
visits here during the summer months.
His fondness for literature often brought
him to the Aldrich public library, where
he spent considerable time reading.
He was born in Ludlow Sept. Is, 1874,
and there attended the Black River acad
emy. At Dartmouth college he studied
medicine and later received his degree as
doctor of medicine at the University of
Michigan at Ann Arbor After com
peting his college work he practiced
few years in Wallingford, but in 1872
moved to Altamont, n. Y, continuing
his practice until 1915. He was q very
successful physician but owing to bis
advanced age decided to retire. Since
then he had passed the summers at the
home of Attorney A. A. Sargent, though
he retained furnished home in Braden-
town, Fla, for his winter residence. He
was member of the Albany, N. ",
lodge of Masons
He leaves but one daughter, Mrs. Sar
