WOULD LET SULTAN REMAIN

It IS now suggested that instead of transferring the Sultan to a strip of territory somewhere in Asia-M that ne remain in Constantinople, but be a1- lowed to exercise a degree of temporal power over some territory in Asia-Minor 10 be selected, thus preserving the form or the Ottoman empire. Such a plan, it IS asserted, would prevent the oblitera- ton Of Turkish pre-war debts and neces- sltate the framing of peace treaty with the empire.
 The American commission discussed this plan yesterday. but apparently there was considerable difference of opinion among the delegates. Some of them feel that the United States probably would be unwilling to accept the Constantinople mandate under any conditions in the event it accepts the mandate for Ar menia, which would require large num- Der of American troops until such time as native forces could be organized and the unsettled conditions controlled.
 Military experts declare that Constan- tinople could be controlled entirely by the navy and poiced under direction of the marines. The probable military force necessary to restore order in Ar menia and protect the Armenians from their aggressive neighbors has been va riously estimated at from 50000 to 10O,- 00O

price of shoes and other con1modi- ties Is fixed by the manufacturers and not by the retail merchants.
 The price of domestic coal at the mines has advanced progressively during the past six months. It will advance again on the first of June 1Oc per ton.
 This advance does not include one penny of profit to the, retail coal dealer. All he can do is to pay it and pass it on to the con- sumer He naturally desires a lower price at the mines. But he cannot get it, and he is facing the strong probability that the pro- gressive increase in prices at the mines will go on indefinitely.
 We are neither criticising nor de- lending the operators. We are confining ourselves to facts and the logical deductions from them.
 Now if it is fact-,-and it IS fact-that prices at the mines are advancing during the dullest season of the coal trade, when it is natural to assume that the operator. would make all reasonable concessions to keep their mines going, what basis can there be for the belief that prices will be lower when summer dullness ends, business and indus trial activity increases and cold weather sets in? Absolutely none! Again we say:

TURKISH PROBLEM ACUTE

Paris. May 21-The Turkish prob. lem has become most acute in the peace conference. Various delegations are striving to find some solution for the dismemberment of the empire which Will not provoke a religious war.
 The United States is being looked 10 by the other powers as the only nation wNeh can become the mandatory for Constantinople without the danger of precipitating another European war but the American delegates to the peace conference express doubt of the Willingness of the United States to accept the mandate, especially under the conditions which the powers have outlined

The following is from an editor ial in a recent number of the Coal Age, reproduced by the Philadel- phia Public Ledger:
 "Shortsighted consumers are still of the belief that coal prices will go lower if they hold off their pur-. chases for while longer, in spite of the fact that every grain of com mon sense they possess should in- fluence them to the contrary. If labor troubles materialize at the mines, and the possibility is by no means remote, there are going to be many consumers who will wish they had bought coal while the buying was good. Prices cannot come down. The closing of great num- Der of mines should be proof con- elusive that no indiscriminate price cutting will be practiced by the operators. Either they do business at a reasonable profit or they do no business at all."
 This editorial states the position of the operators and also brings out a fact which is frequently over looked by the public, and that is:
 Retail coal dealers do not fix the price of coal. That is done by the producers or operators, just as the

RECIPE FOR HOME BRANDY
BY ATLANTA HOUSEWIFE

Atlanta, Ga, July There have
been many recipes in circulation for
making homemade brandies, liquors,
wines, etc, but here is one which has
been thoroughly tried and tested by
an Atlanta lady who vouches for the
statement that it's the real thing.
The recipe follows:
Four quarts of grape jucice. Two
pounds of brown sugar, One pound of
raisins, One yeast cake.
Mix all together, set away in warm
place preferably in an earthenware
lar) and allow it to stand for twenty
one days and strain through a cloth
to remove the raisins and seeds and
the sediment
At this precise stage of fermanta-
ton the brandy thus produced is the
finest kind Of Il drink. Atlantians who
have tried it declare the brandy con-
tains Il regular kick that is very salts
factory as Il substitute for an old-time
Scotch highball.
Ii you prefer to make a still stronger
Ii you perfer to make a still stranger
drink you may distill the ferment thus
produced and here have a tolera bly,
high proof cognac brandy. That is to
say, you can distill it if Rave dis

.BERRIEN BOND issue
CUT DOWN BY COURT
Half Million Voted Attacked on the
Ground That Taxable Values Do
Not Warrtn That Amount.

Valdosta, July 6.-Berrian county s
goo,i roads bonds recently authorized
by the voters of the county, wera
validated before Judge w. e. Thomas,
at Nashville, on Saturday, after a
strong fight had been made against
the issue.
Although less than fifty votes
against bonds were polled in the cleo
ticn, few Of the opponents decided
to attack the validity of the issue in
the courts, and employed the law
firm OF Quincy e Rice, of Ocilla, to
head the fight. Solicitor c. E. Hay
also appeared in his official capacity
Judge w. D. Buie and other Nashville
attorneys represented the other side.
Amcrg the grounds on which the
fight was made it was alleged that the
taxable values Of the county did not
warrant and issue of $500 900 in bonds
This ground was sustained by Judge
Thomas, and after arguments lasting
throughout the day, bonds were vail
dated in the sum of $350,O0O instead
Of the half million issue voted.

EXPECT BRILLIANT
WEEK IN COTTON
Definite Shaping of European Corr
mercial Situation and More Fa-
vofable Weather Reports
Looked For.

New Orleans, July G.-While the net
changes in the cotton market last
week weer small, amounting to losses
of six to forty-three points in the con
tract department, while spots showed
no net change, the trade seems TO look
for larger trading and more import
ant results this week. A more def
mite shaping up of the European COM
mercial situation is looked for, which
IS expected to lead to larger exports,
although shipments last weal We're
large enough to send the figures for
The season over the five million mark.
I'm to the close of business last
week the grand total of clearances
was 5,078,541 bales. against 4,O2S,54o
TO the same time last year.
According to general opinion wealth
er news is bound to assume increased
importance because July and August
are conceded to be the critical stage
of the growing season. In the near flu
ture bright, warm weather would be
regarded a highly favorable because
it would give farmers a chance to com
ple cultivation of their crops and
would also tend to check the ravages
of the boil weevil, already reported
rs serious in some sections of the
belt
Further rains would be accepted as
about the most unfavorable develop
ment possible for the crop. AS the
market closed last week it promised
to be more of a weather affair this
week following the discounting of po-
Iitical news over the holidays.

eastern North Dakota, but has suffer
ed from hot, dry weather in western
North Dakota and parts of Montana

Care of Brood Mare

Let the brood mare live as near a
normal life as possible. Given a suf-
fcient amount of mixed wholesome
food, such as: oats, bran, corn, al
falfa, prairie hay, oat straw, corn
fodder, carrots, rutabagas. She will
balance the ration. Allow no valu-
able mare to be pampered, for those
that have the freedom of all out of
doors and live on natures pastures go
through the ordeal of pregnancy and
parturition with the least inconven-
fence and danger. Regular exercise
is absolutely necessary, an energetic
high life animal will take enough ex-
ercise if turned out for several hours
each day. For those not so ambi-
tious forced exercise is necessary,
place in harness every day for several
hours. Avoid all severe exertion and
injuries, as far as possible. Each
pregnant mare deserves a stall to
herself. AS the period Of parturi-
ton approaches watch condition of
bowels closely and reduce the diet, re-
move the mare from the work horse
stable (which is a hot bed Of dis
ease microbes) if possible place her
in clean disinfected maternity
stable, with an abundance Of sun
shine, fresh air and clean straw.
