His story dealt with leaving the
bank with the money, hurrying to
the car and telling Albright that the

beat it for that place. He spoke of
putting a sack Of silver into the ton

Played in III Luck.

A that. Sallings played in i'll luck.
This is evidenced by the fact that
the alarm was given to look out for
in Oakland roadster carrying three
men. The car in which Sallings was
hauling away his loot was Ford
five passenger machine. The reason
for this mistake was that no one in
Alex knew of the robbery according
to the best reports, until after Laws
had made his escape from the vault
AS the news was spread, Alex peo-
pie remembered that an Oakland
roadster carrying three men had
whirled away toward Bradley few
minutes before and it was this car
that the members of the posses
from Alex. Bradley and Lindsay were
looking. But Tom Drane, a farmer
living near Bradley, wasn't taking
any chances as to the make of au-
tomobile. When the Ford came
splashing along through the mud, he
halted it with a shot over the heads
of the occupants, just for luck. The
result of that lucky guess was that
the money was returned to the Alex
bank only an hour or so after it was
taken away. Also, that Sallings and
his driver, Dave Albright, were land
ed in the custody of the Grady coun-
ty sheriff late yesterday afternoon.

BOUNDARY ISSUE. CRTICISES
ATTEMPTED INTERVENTION.

A note has been received in Wash
ington from Paris declining President
Wilson's proposal to the council of AL
lied ambassadors that an international
commission be appointed to adjust the
Teschen boundary dispute between Po-
land and Czecho- Slovakia.
The Allied reply says the question
is being settled by methods already
approved by Poland and Czecho-Slo-
vakia.
News of the presidents communica-
ton, delivered to the Allied council by
Hugh Wallace, American ambassador
to France, caused surprise throughout
France.
Placed Allies in Quandary.
1t was said in official circles that
the presidents apparent eleventh hour
re-entrance in Europe's difficulties had
complicated the situation and placed
the council of ambassadors in some
thing of quandary.
Anti Wilson circles seized upon
what they termed the presidents re-
newed intervention in European af-
fairs to accuse him of repeating his
tactics in the Fiume controversy be-
tween Italy and Jugo-Slavia.

NEW YORK.-Brides, pink, nut

tongues for the sweethearts they have
come so far to capture and break into
domestic teamwork.
These modern Penelopes, who have
reversed the old story and gone in
search of their mates instead of su-
pinely waiting and spinning at home,
have adventured to more businesslike
purpose than did old meandering
Odysseus. They have winged a true
course despite all the difficulties of
these unsettled times.
They, together with aged relatives
of kinsfolk already established here
and wives and children coming to re-
join husbands, form a considerable
part of the present mounting wave
of immigrants, and their eager attrac-
tiveness just now is doing much to
brighten the Islands grim labyrinth.
There is such a choice and so cos
mopoiitant a bouquet of young brides
at the Island that they deserve a con-
sideration all to themselves, excluding
from notice all of the faltering steps
beside them of the aged fed from the
chaos of Europe to secure haven with
their children in America, and the
prattlers in everything from Gaelic to
Arabic, at last in a land of plentiful
bread and milk.
Mary, Kathleen, Mollie, Malaki, Hell

Winter cover crops have a special
value on southern farms. They pro-
tect the land from washing, prevent
loss of plant food by teaching, furnish
grazing for livestock during the win
ter months, and in the spring may be
plowed under to the great benefit OF
the soil, or left for harvest for hay,
grain or seeds.
Crops to Consider.
The small grains and the clovers are
the most satisfactory crops for this
purpose. They are all adapted to
southern conditions and soils. In
most of the southern states oats is the
most important small grain. Not
over rs per cent of the amount needed
for homie consumption is now grown.
The acreage in fall oats should be
greatly increased. They can be pro
duced cheapIy, mature early, and can
be followed in most of the states by
corn and cowpeas, cowpeas for hay,
sweet potatoes, or other fall crops.
Rye is better than fall sown oats IN
the northern tier Of states of the
southern group
Oats, rye, wheat, bur clover Grim
son clover and the vetches, sOwn with
oats, are all valuable as cover crops,

and location.

FAMOUS OLD GOOSE
SUCCUMBS TO ACE
AS HERO OF PATRIOTIC SALES
BILL" ADDED THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS TO WAR FUND.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D.-"Bill" was
only an old goose, but when he was
found dead of old age in a pasture on
a farm north of Sioux Falls he was
given an honorable burial by residents
of the vicinity.
Bill" gained national fame during
the world war as "Red Cross goose"
Sander Questad, on whose farm the
goose died, had had charge of the
goose since that historic day when it
became a permanent resident of Bal
tic, after the people of that commun-
ity paid the Red Cross society $2,O26
for it,
Before going to Baltic the old fowl
had made quite an extensive itinerary
of Red Cross sales among the differ
ent towns and villages of Minnehaha
county, the money derived from these
sales at auction of the old goose being
turned into the Red Cross fund for
war work.
Donated to Red Cross.
The goose was first bought in" at
a country sale by j. K. Shaw, living
near Cotton. Shaw, to show his pa
triotism and desire to aid the Red
Cross, paid $40 for it and presented it
to the Red Cross people of Cotton to
be again sold. At the next sale. it
brough $132.
From Cotton Bill" was transported
to Hartford, where the Red Cross
again put it up at auction, the old
fowl this time bringing 1852.
II !, 70 ha1, |
bidders from RAnner secured posses
sion of him at price of $3.50. The
Renner Red Cross held an auction sale |
and people from Garretson bid him in |
at $3.50
The residents of Garretson decided
to give the old goose the greatest pa
triotic boost that he had yet had. They |
advertised far and near the sale at
auction of the now famous fowl. They
succeeded in getting together a large
assemblage of people, and the bidding
was fast and furious. Finally the
goose was sold at price of $l,608-
probably the highest price paid up to
that time in the United States for
an ordinary scrub goose.
Bills Last Sale.
Baltic people secured possession of
the goose and determined to show the
country a sample of real patriotism.
They put it up at auction. At this
sale large and enthusiastic crowd
turned out and the bidding was decid- +
eddy spirited, for residents of Baltic
had publicly announced that so long
as their money lasted no other town in !
the county would be able to IBID i'm
the fowl.
When the sale was over it was an
nounced by the auctioneer that BILL"
had been sold for $2,026.
Thus ended the travels and confne-
ments for Bill" for it was decided he
had done his full duty in aiding the
United States in winning the war, and
ne was given into the keeping of the
farmer on whose farm he was found
dead few days ago.

crops can be continued under the ne"
conditions. A concerted campaign en-
gagged in by extension workers, the
press, bankers, business men, ana
farm organizations could arouse the
necessary interest and enthusiasm to
insure a great increase in cover crop
planting this fall. The extension
forces of the United States depart
ment of agriculture and the state ag-
ricultural colleges can plan such
campaign, assist in arousing interest,
and furnish information as to cover
crops best adapted to particular sec
tions, but they must have the moral
and financial backing of the other
agencies named to make such cam
paign complete success. Especially
can business men and bankers or their
organizations be of great service by
assisting and arranging for an eco
nomical supply of seed and fertilizers,
as well as by using their influence
to induce farmer customers to sow
suitable cover crops on their farms
this fall.
The time for sowing fall crops is al
most here. Consult your county

the best crops for your section, and

is RURAL CHURCH
ON WAY TO DECAY?
Its Problems viii Grow More
Acute, Says a Prominent
S.oCioIogist.

Is the rural church passing out OF
existence?
This is one of Me questions raised
by the study now being made by ex.
perts of the conditions facing Protest
ant churches in the country districts
OF the United States. And, on the
basis of statistics already gathered,
the church leaders are uncertain as to
whether they are witnessing the grad
ual disappearance of the country
church.
One-Third Losing Ground.
Here is a sample Of the facts which
make them doubt the future OF the
rural church. In 5S representative
counties taken from different parts OF
the United States, surveys showed
there were 1850 churches. Sixty
eight per cent OF the churches in
towns were growing churches. 63 pc:
cent in the villages were growing,
while in the country only 46 per cent
seemed to be gaining. or the country
churches in the So counties, IS pc
cent were losing ground, while Il pc
cent were dead and abandoned.
| Country viii Grow Less Popuious.
The problem facing the rural church
In America is likely to grow more
acute because OF the tendency of the
population to move into the towns
DR.. Warren II. Wilson. head OF the
department of rural sociology at Co
lumbia University New York, and one
of the Interchurch experts. said in
| Spokane recently:
where there are most Americans,
fewest foreigners. and where the bulk
of the population is farmers, there we
find the fewest members Of Christian
churches. There are abandoned
churches in virtually every county in
the United States,
Abandoned Churches Everywhere.
"These abandoned churches are of
all denominations. The country
church in the United States is ill
equipped to meet the needs OF its
community, and it is because of this
sim larity OF condition, affecting all
the churches regardless of denomina-
ton. that there is growing up a Chris
tan public opinion as distinguished
from sectarian opinion. II is in re-
Spouse to this demand that the Inter
church World Movement has come
into being. Some may think it strange
that the county Interchurch council is
to legislate so to speak. for the Meth
odist or the Presbyterian or other
churches; but when the council, rep
resenting the Protestant opinion of
the county, sends resolution to the
national board Of church, urging it
to follow a certain course in local
community, it is going to be needed. "

ASK CHURCH members
and Their HUSBANDS
"FriendIy Citizens Outside
the Church Will Be In
vited to Give.

The Interchurch financial campaign
will solicit. not only church members,
but their husbands also.
That large number of men who hold
their church memberships in their
wives names, and other friendly citi-
zens not connected directly with the
churches, will be asked to contribute
to the sum which more than thirty
cooperating denominations in the In
terchurch World Movement will seek
to pledge between April 25 and May 2.
Organization of the forces for the
campaign will be built on this basis
In each denomination in each county
and community will be committees
who will solicit personally the mem
bers of their own church. In addition
there will be county united cam
paign director, with assistants in diff
ferent towns in his area. His bust
ness will be to act as a clearing house
for the UNCONVENTIONAL committees,
and to solicit the friendly citizens"
who are not church members.
An analysis of the 1892 pastoral
charges of one great denomination
showed that in 1918 only 1854 congre-
cations averaged as much as penny
day for each member, given to the
benevolences of the church, including
| Sunday school offerings. While the
churches cooperating in the Inter
church World Movement urge the syn-
! tenn of tithing-setting aside one-tenth
OF ones income for the church-it is
estimated that II every member of
the cooperating denominations were
to contribute 6 cents day the total
budget of the lnterchurch Movement
would be taken care of.
The quotas which each county and
each church are expected to pledge
will be announced at the start of the
campaign.
