Ever since last January when Phil

Stock Committee of the State Cham

calves among boys and girls entered
in the Baby Beef Clubs, interest in
beef raising in Maine has increased
The calves which cost $4,000 each and
weighed about $50 pounds should be
worth from 800 to $3.50 now, and
weigh in some instances 1850 pounds.
Indeed some may sell as high as
$500 to $500. The boys and girls get
for their profit the difference be-
tweent $4,000 and what the animal
sells for. In addition $500 in prizes
has been offered. The public has
heen asked TO help the cause along
by ordering Angus Baby Beef the
last week in December.
Philip r. Park and his Jefferson
Farms Manager, DR.. Karl j. Seulke,
has just made the rounds of the clubs
and reports the calves in splendid
condition for the sale.

DECLINE IN COTTON
NOT TO BE EXPECTED
In View of Wages and Shortage
of the Crop

Atlantic City, Oct. "a decline
of cotton prices is not to be expec-
ted in the immediate future in view
of wages conditions and short sup
plies of raw materials said Professor
Melvin T. Copeland of the Harvard
University bureau of business re-
search, in an. address today before
the semi-annual meeting of the Nat
ional Association of Cotton Man
ufacturers.
He declared the industry appar,
emily was entering a period in which
a shortage Of labor must be faced
and that waste caused by strikers
must be eliminated.
'In the SOUTH" he said "it is un-
certain how many more families Of
the cotton mill type can be discover
ed in the mountains or lured from
the farms. This means keen COM
petition for labor and the necessity
of using labor saving methods even
more generally than heretofore"
Professor Copeland expressed the
conviction that business men and
their employees would develop some
method which would perhaps have
to be put into force through legisla-
tive action to eliminate strikes and
yet protect adequately the rights
and welfare Of the workers as well
as the interests of the employers.
$50 far can be judged now
he said 'the potential demand seems
likely to increase faster than the
crop will increase"
He expressed the opinion, how.
ever that high prices for raw cotton
would stimulate production.

PREACHER HAD A WEE
BIT OF "MOONSHINE"
Held Up In the Road by Officers
On His Way Home From
Church.

Greenville, Oct. 5.-What local
police describe as a mixing OF the
word of "God and the spirit of the
devil" was brought to light Sunday
in the mountains that skirt the nor
them edge of Greenville county,
Rev. W. P. Step, a Baptist preacher
was on his way home after having
preached at a service of a revival
meeting he was conducting at Dur
hams schoolhouse. State Constable
]. f. Howard and another "offce1
were out after a "still" but stopped
long enough in their quest after the
"moonshine factory" to detain the
Rev. Step, whom they met in the
road. A search of the paper handbag
which he carried revealed two Bibles
and a quart of Blue Ridge "moon'
shine whiskey in a fruit jar.
Yesterday the officers came tx
Greehville and swore out a fedora
warrant against the preacher charg
ing violation of the national prohibi
ton law.

LARGE BLEACHING PLANT
200 Acres Purchased at Taylors,
Near Greenville.

Greenville, Oct. 5.-The purchase
today of a 200-acre tract of land
near Taylors, between G~reenville
and Greer, is to be followed by
the erection on this site of a large
plant for the bleaching and finish
ing of cotton goods, according to
definite information here today.
The tract of land which has been
held under option for several weeks
was bought by the Alester G. Fur
man Company Of this city, acting
as agents for the estate of Al
fred Taylor and for. other indi-
viduals in that section for a con-
of approximately $4,000.
The land lies along the P. & N. and
Southern railways and is located
eight miles from Greenville.

R MARKS REACH
A NEW LOW RECORD

= New York. Oct, 5.-Heavy offer
ings of German marks in the Paris
and London markets caused the To-
cal rate to drop today to 1 "a cents
a pound, a new law record.
There was a divergence of view
in local financial circle as to the
cause for the decline. In same
quarters the activity of the Ger
man printing presses which are
now turning out paper marks at
the rate of more than 1000, 100000
a day was held responsible, Sell
ing for purely speculative purpos-
es also was blamed for the reac-
ton. Other foreign exchanges were
firm, indicating that the fall of the
mark was essentially a German
problem.

URGED TO PLANT CORN
Harris Requests Farmers to Get
Feed Crops.

Columbia, Oct. 3.-Every farmer
in South Carolina is urged to sow
without delay at least one acre oats,
wheat and vetch for each two
horses and mules on his farm in
a letter from Commissioner of
Agriculture B. Harris, published
here today. He says that the corn
crop is short and prices will be
high for the next year.
"The corr crop is short and
prices will be high next year." he
says. I want to urge every farmer
to sow at least one acre TO every
two horses or mules he has on his
farm in oats, wheat and vetch and
to sow at once. Sow two bushels of
oats, one-half bushel of wheat and
eight pounds Of hairy vetch to the
acre. Sow this on good land and by
May Is it will be ready to cut. 1t
will be in the dough stage and at
that time, take your moving ma.
chine and NOW it down and rake
it up and put in your barn. Horses
and mules can furnish a crop with
out any corr and at that season OF
the year corn and feedstuffs are
going to be high. Also sow a good
wheat crop and ore oats than you
have ever sown before and if they
do not sell for much you can feed
them to your stock and chickens
Be sure to prepare to live at home
next year and remember to KEEP
out of debt"

The hollis were nearly all open in
Arkansas and were opening fast in
