Cows Become Intoxicated

John Dickey, at the mining village
of Zillman, near Frostburg, Nd, went
to the field one day last week to tlnd
his four cows in q state OF intoxlca-
ton.
Dickey at first did not know what
was wrong with the animals. They
were drowsy and almost !nai:imate'
and it was with difficulty that they
could be aroused. Dickey examined
their mouths, which showed they had
been eating some kind of mash. Later
he discovered that moonshine mash had
been emptied into the field by some un-
known person. The cows had partaken
of it and become intoxicated.
He was unable to milk them Tor
two days, but nov the animals are all
right. When lie first stirred tlen up
thew were unable to rise, and when
he did get them up they staggered
about as if drunk.

Money For Exports.

An application for an advance OF
s5,OOO,OOO to the Citizens & Southern
bank of Savannah, Ga, for financing
exports was approved last Friday by
the war finance corporation.
The advance will be made to finance
cotton, cottonseed cake, peanut cake
and naval stores for export sale. The
commodities, the corporation said,
will be for the most part products
from Georgia, Alabama and South
Carolina.
M. B. Lane President Of the bank
said the funds would be used "as a
financial resource and facility in ad-
dition to the usual federal reserve
bank facilities for the betterment OF
the people in my part Of the country.

Twenty Cent Cotton Predicted

Since the government issued it's re-
port on August Isl, giving the esti-
mated average condition of the cotton
crop at 64.7, or normal, the crop is
reported to have deteriorated fully rs
per cent in the territory between Dal-
las and San Antonio, Texas, says,
Sugarman's Indicator. There are we'll
informed crop specialists in Texas
who are venting the opinion that the
entire state may not produce more
than 100000 bales. They ere very
bullish on cotton in Texas and are
predicting zoe per pound by March 1,
contrasting with a prevailing level OF
13c per pound. On a purchase OF III
bales of May cotton at 14c per pound,
necessitating marginal deposit OF Sloo,
an advance in the May option to zoe
per pound by March 1 would give the
fortunate holder an indicated paper
profit of $500, less $3.50 commission
and a small government tax.
Even though the May cotton futures
should sell up 70 zoe per pound by
March l, there would necessarily be
frequent reactions and bulges which
would give numerous proft-making
opportunities. While trading in cotton
futures is highly speculative, at the
same time when you consider that the
Government states crop of only g.
2O9 900 bales is expected as contrasted
with 13,365,754 bales last year, H.
420,7 bales two years ago, and H.
O4O,532 bales three years ago, one can
readily realize that there should be
real merit behind the present upward
movement in cotton futures.

ADVERTISING, IMPORTANT IN
GETTING NEW BUSINESS
Extracts from an Address by Sol
Kohn, President of State Re-
tail Clothiers.

With new, well chosen and properly
selected merchandise, marked with
the lowest possible margin of profit
in order to successfully continue 1us-
mess, we are now ready to take up
the second important factor in get
ting new business advertising.
With the ever increasing cost of
newspaper advertising, your fist ques
ton will be, "Is Advertising worth
while?" It surely is. Ninety-fve per
cent Of our largest concerns are
steady investors in advertising. Of
course some advertising is more eff
fective than other advertising, but
what you want is to get the most for
your money.
What per cent of your sales should
you appropriate to advertising? In
a recent survey Of advertising as done
by many clothiers, Hart, Schaffner &
Marx sent out booklet in which the
firm showed that the more you spend
on advertising the less it costs you.
By that I mean that the increased
business brought about by the increas-
ed advertising always decreases the
per cent of appropriation. My advice
to you, however, would be to spend in
advertising from per cent. to B per
cent. of your previous seasons busi-
ness. This advertising will include
newspaper advertising, direct adver-
Using and outdoor advertising.
would advise an appropriation of not
less than 60 per cent. Of your total ap-
preparation for newspaper advertising.
Let your message to the public be Of
ten. It is not necessary to have a full
rage to carry this message. Even dur
ing special sales it is not necessary to
use large space. Have neatly arrang-
ed, well written ordinary size adver-
t,sing. Be sure that it is well dressed
geographically, and be generous with
your use of white space. Have clean
ad, just as you have clean store and
merchandise. And say something in
your advertisement Let this message
be a reflection of the personality OF
your store. Use simple English so
that everybody can understand. Give
a message that will impress the peo-
pie favorably to your store for its
service and its merchandise. Be sure
you don't knock anyone in similar
line of business. Don't try to be fun
ny. Don't say things that will start
an argument. Don't make far reach
ing claims. Tell your story in pleas
ing manly fashion that will be under
stood and taken for face value by men
who buy in your store.

AIRSHIP COLLAPSES
FORTY MEN KILLED
GIANT DIRIGIBLE PLUNGES 1000
FEET INTO THE HUMBER
RIVER, ENGLAND

Hull, England, Aug. 24.-Seventeer
officers and men of the United States
navy and twenty-seven officers and
men of the British navy met death TO-
day in the collapse of the great di-
rigiblc ZR-2 over the city of Hull.
Every one of the Americans on board
the ill-fated craft perishcd as far as
could be ascertained at midnight to-
right.
Only five men of the forty-nine who
were making the trial trip in the
dirigible prior to the vessel being
turned over to the United States navy
are known to have been saved.
The American officers who started
the trip included Commander Louis H
Maxfeld, Lieut. Commander Emory
Coil, Lieut.. Henry w. Hoyt, Lieut.
Valentine N. Bieg and Lieut. Charlie
G. Little.
The American enlisted men who
went up with the craft from Howden.
were C. l. Aller, Robert Coons, L. E.
Crowell, J. T. Hancock, William julius
NJ. Lay, A. L. Loftia, A. I. Petit, w.
j. Steele, N. o. Walker, and George
Welsh.
The British losses included the IA
NOUS air veteran, Brig. Gen. E. NJ.
Maitland and all the other officers on
board, except Lieut.. Wann, the COM
mander of the ZR-2.
Starting from Howden Tuesday
morning on a test fight to Pulham,
the big aircraft had been afloat for
thirty-four hours, at times in bad
weather, and was returning to the
Pulham airdome at the time of the
disaster, which constitutes the most
terrible of its kind in peace times.
The ZR-2, which was sister ship
of the famous R-34, the first dirigi-
bic. to cross the Atlantic, was on her
final trial trip prior to being accepted
by the United States navy and taken
across the Atlantic by an American
crew especially trained for that pur-
pose. She was 695 feet long and was
built to carry a crew Of thirty. Her
speed was estimated at seventy miles
an hour. The American navy was to
pay $2,0O0,0O0 for the craft.
While flying at about 1000 feet over
Hull spectators saw the ZR-2 seem
ingly buckle anlid-ships and plunge
downward over the city and into the
Humber river.

SLIPSHOD METHODS
CAUSE Low PRICES
TOBACCO MARKET OF SOUTH
CAROLINA INDICATION OF
PRICES SAYS JOURNAL

"The South Carolina tobacco mar
ket as an indicator Of prices that will
prevail in other districts is defective
in that allowance must be made for
the slipshod methods of preparing
the weed for market there" says ITO
bacco." One of the leading publica-
tions of the industry.
Further, quoting the Greenboro N.
iC.) News, it says, "Indeed there is no
preparation"
Continuing it's comment on the
South Carolina way of handling, or,
maybe not handling, tobacco, the pub
lication says:
"Not only is the stuff put on the
market ungraded, but it is not even
tied in bundles or "hands" Equal
crudeness in curing and handling may
be fairly assumed. In year when
there is an unusual disparity in the
demand for poor tobacco and good the
producer of stock, properly prepared
for the market, may be unduly dis
couraged by the prices at the South
Carolina market.
"The opinion prevails in informed
circles that this is to be such a season.
Poor tobacco is not wanted, and time
and attention given to it are just
about wasted. Skill, care and exper-
ience in curing and grading always
adds Importantly to the price received
BY the farmer; these are apparently
going to be unusually valuable this
year. The North Carolina farmer who
produces good leaf, cures it well and
asserts it carefully may cherish rea-
sonable expectation of prices that re-
turn a living wage for the labor put
on the crop. Otherwise there need be
no such expectation.
Another thing that will effect prices
it always does, but the effect was
relatively unimportant when prices
were highs whether the stuff is
dumped OF the markets in greater
volume than they can absorb Whether
one is placing his weed ,u Dig mar
ket or a email one, the sales will be
better if the receipts are about even
during the warehouses season, and
prices will range lower when the mar"
kets are crowded.
The buyers of tobacco know about
what the crop will bulk, they know
about what they can handle, they
know about what they can afford to
pay for it and their agents will be on
hand all the while at each market.
When a buyer has bid in all that ne
can handle for a day, his interest IN
that days market naturally ceases,
and he will buy no more unless forced
to do so by decline below what he
would ordinarily be willing to pay.
So far as the calendar is concerned,
one day during the warehouse season
is as good as another; if the farmers
hold back instead OF rushing the weed
ON the market that certainly will not
tend to cause decline, but rather the
reverse, inasmuch as financial condl-
tions may be expected to improve
; rather than to grow more unfavorable'
The official announcement from
Washington the other day OF taxation
plans will have the effect OF taking
some money out of the farmers pock-
ct, it is expected. These include an In
crease of tax on tobacco products,and
nobody believes the consumer will
stand an increase price.

Russian Girl Held
For Distributing
Radical Circulars
Literature Asks Violent Rev.
olution; Another Woman
Arrested on Same Charge;
Observation-Disclosures

Fannie Rudkowitz, Russian girl
who described herself as a shipping
clerk and gave her address as 7l2 Gem
ter Street, was arrested last night by
Patrolman Pollock, of the Clinton
Street police station, charged with
criminal anarchy after she had dis
trlouted number of circulars advo-
eating violent revolution.
Patrolman Pollock said he observed
the young woman for some time be-
fore making the arrest. She had dis
tributed large number of the circu
lars, she admitted, and had sixty in her
possession when taken in charge
About the same time Sergeant Sarosy,
OF the Clinton Street station, was
struck on the head by large bundle
OF circulars evidently thrown from the
window of an elevated train as he
stood al East Houston Street and
Broadway. These circulars advocated
overthrow Of the government by force.
Earlier Anna Kensman, thirty -one
years old, who gave as her address 39S
North Third Street, Brooklyn, was ar
rested by Detective Sergeant Randolph
With distributing anarchistic literature.
She was held in $1,000 bail by Magis-
trate McGeehan in Morrisania Court.
The circulars taken from Miss Rud-
kowitz were Of highly inflammable
sort, calling on workers to rise on Nav
Day and demonstrate their "interna-
tional solidarity" Some of the para
graphs demanded action against "boss-
es," denounced the courts as capitals
tic and the government as in league
with the capitalists to subdue workers.
The circular concluded:
The hour for Iruggle has struck
It is the moment OF revolt Revolution
is in the air. Revolution is the watch
word
The document was signed "American
Freedom Foundation" The other cir
cular, of which several hundred copies
were seized by Sergeant Sarosy, con-
cluded with the words: Arms against
arms-force against force" 1t was
signed, "An appeal from the Commu-
mist Party of America"

may lead to the dissolution of the

zlnovieff, Soviet Governor of Petro-
grad, IN leading article discussing
the precariousness of the situation.
sounds a general alarm and calls a
new congress of the International Com
munists to meet in Moscow June /.
Recent developments in the Socialist
LABOR movement lin western Europe
confirm the reported weakening of the
organization, and the opinion is now
generally held here that the forthcom-
ing congress will find the Third Inter
rationale with only negligible support
outside of Moscow.
Lenlne's famous twenty-one points.
TO winch he demanded submission of
IN the Socialist parties in all the prin-
clpal countries of Europe, much to the
qualification of Moscow, but reaction
soon set in that greatly strengthened
the conservative wings of these parties
at the expense of the Reds. To bolster
the weakening cause ZinovieF an
nounces the congress "to liquidate the
Crisis of the Third Internationale. He
writes:
"A certain backward reaction is OBJ
served within certain parties belong
ing to this lnternationale, the leaders
of these parties evincing a tendency
to form right wing within the Third
lnternationale. This tendency is par
tempo of the proletariat revolution is
slowing down. The Communist Inter
rationale must realize the danger of
the struggle against it,
That Zinovieff's fears are not un-
founded is shown by developments IN
Germany, Italy, Czecho- -Slovakia and
other countries. In Germany the Com
munist movement is badly split a.
the result of the action Of Paul Levy
Klara Zetkin and other prominent
Communist leaders in condenning the
recent Communist revolt as criminal.
Similarly, in Italy, where the Seratti
revolt against the dictation of the
Kremlin. Zinovieff was bitterly dis
appointed.
zinovieff has been disappointed in
Czecho- -Slovakia also.
The most recet blows dealt the
Third Internationale came from Spain
and the Trade Union Federation in
msterdam. The Spanish Socialist
party condemned the Third Interna-
tionale by an overwhelming majority,
while the Amsterdam federation has
just issued its correspondence with
Moscow, which was widely published in
the Vorwarts and the Freheit, bit
terly attacking Znovieff and the whole
M oscow clique as "ignoramuses, the
enemies of labor"
ZinovieF says: "All this calls for
quick convocation of the Congress of
the Third Internationale."
