true. but as matter of fact. we are
having difficulty in producing the funds

Stories OF a $l5,00O,O0O fund are per
fcctly ridiculous.

County Campaign Today.

After a weeks campaigning in the
other towns and rural sections Of the
county, the county candidates will ap-
pear before the local voters AT the
court house today. The meeting is
scheduled to begin at II O'Clock and
will probably continue without inter-
ruption until all Of the candidates have
been heard. On account OF the fact
that there are several local men offer
ing for Office, it has been suggested
that local candidates do not follow
the custom of giving away to candi-
dates from out OF the city. Voters al
the local box are understood to be
anxious to hear local as well as out
of-town candidates on the issues O
the campaign.

Senator n. b. DIAL who returned
from Washington last week. leaves
this morning for Columbia to attend
the meeting Of the American Cotton
Association. Sen. Dial said yesterday
that he had some practical suggestions
which he expected to lay before the
meeting which he hoped would be Of
some benefit. Among these, he said,
is proposition for the southern farm
crs 10 sell their cotton to Central
Europe on credit. The manufacturers
Of these nations. he said arc anxious
to secure cotton but haven't the cash
to pay for it. Their collateral, he said,
is as good as ordinary collateral and
the Southern farmers must meet them
half way if the cotton is to be sold
soon. The senator said that he was
not particularly anxious to make a
speech at any time, but he felt that
he had some views which would be
valuable to the farmers at this time.

Warsaw, Aug. 23.-Russian Boil
shcviki forces are retreating virtually
along the whole line in an effort to
save the remnants Of the Red army
but they have so far been easily frus-
trated by the Poles.
On the north there is heavy loss in
the region OF NIlawa and Sodau.
Forced to face two Polish armies, one
advancing from Modlin and the other
from Graudenz, the Bolsheviki are
making desperate efforts to cXtricate
their advance guard, some Of which
adventurcd as far as Eylau and
Plinsk. The Red losses in prisoners
in this region have amounted to 1000
in the past two days
The attempt Of the Reds to break the
Polish lines on the PrZasynsh- -Makov-
Royany road and cross the Narew river
has completely failed. Polish troops
advancing up the right bank Of the
river threw back the Bolsheviki to the
north. Meanwhile the main body Of
the Poles advancing from Warsaw,
occupied all the territory in the fork
Of the Bug and the Narew.
| The only chance OF the Bolshevik is
to open a passage in the direction of
Ostrolenka and Lomza, so as to get
through to Blalystok and Grodno. The
Polish troops, accordingly are hasten
ing their march towards Ostrolcnka
and Lomza while the Polish cavalry
which has reached the upper waters
of the Narew has already cut the road
between LomZa and Bialystok. The
battle now going on on the Narcw is
| likely to decide the fate Of all the
Russian forces on the Prussian from
tier All efforts Of the Russians to
! break through on the line of the Bug
have been hurled back with heavy
losses. In the center the Polish troops
which occupied Brcst-Litovsk are dig
ging in on the eastern border Of PO-
lcsia. 1t is expected that the daring
plan Of the Bolshcviki against Lem
berg will be definitely frustrated in
the near future.

weapons.
The correspondent says that the
Reds dclarc they could not stand the
fire Of the Polish and French aviators
who attacked them from short dis
tanccs and whose bombs worked hav-
oc. They evidently were unaccus-
toned to western fighting methods.

WHAT OF TOMORROW?

Today American products
exorbitant in price, are in great
demand in Europe. This is SC
because Europe, devastated by
war, can not make these artic-
les themselves fast enough to
supply the immediate demand.
But in time Europe will be
making sufficient for home con-
sumption and will have an adj
ditional output for export.
in America wages are abnor-
mally high. as are also the raw
materials. The cost of manu-
facture is therefore lin the
sky"
In Europe labor is much
cheaper and articles can be
marketed at a cost below that
for which we can produce
them.
In time. when Europe has re-
covered. America will be re-
CURED to compete with these
countries for world trade
America with its high cost of
manufacture against Europe
with its low cost.
That is the condition which
the present insane price infla-
ton will bring about.
The misfortune of Others has
made us fortunate today-has
enriched US beyond the dreams
of avarice.
But tomorrow il may be the
reverse.
Ii is worth our serious -
sideration, when we hear peo-
pie talk Of prices going evcl
still higher.

Waterloo sooner or later.

Let us of this town make II
the day on which we all arise
to the occasion and go to
church.
The church is the great step
ping stone on the road to heav-
en-. and Christ has blazed a
clear trail TO its door.
IL Christ could give his life
for mankind. surely mankind
can give Easter Sunday in COM
memoration of his sacrifice.
What n day IL would be II
every person in this town
every man, woman and child

Probably such an event has
never been recorded in this
