Grain Crops Favored.
Late growing crops are adversely

The warm and sunny weather, on the

some of the many grain crops.
Stating that light rains fell during

AGREEMENT IS REACHED

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, October 5.-An agreement
has been reached by the conference
Of allied and Turkish military lead
ers at Mudania, and will be signed
some time today, according to private
dispatches received here.
The main lines Of the agreement,
says the Figaro, are:
First, the British and Turks both
to withdraw from the neutral zone
on the southern shore Of the Darda-
nelles, the British to Gallipoli and
the Turks behind the line formed by
the rivers Granicous and Scamander;
Second, the Turks agree that the
allies remain in Constantinople dur
ing the peace negotiations, on con-
ditton that Kemalist civil authorities
are also installed there.
Third, the Greek army to evacu-
ate Thrace within ten days If the
Greek government refuses to give the
necessary orders, the allied fleets are
to blockade the Greek ports and the
Kemalist forces cross the Dardanelles
and drive the Greek troops out OF
Thrace.
The dispatches do not say whether
the Greek representatives accepted
these conditions.
Constantinople advices late last
night said the Mudania conference
was on the verge of an agreement on
all points Of the Turkish proposals
with the exception Of that relating
to the allied occupation of the west
ern line Of the Martha river in
Thrace, and that argument on this
was still proceeding. The allies
were said to have agreed to turn over
Thrace to the Turkish army within
thirty days and to have secured the
assent Of the Turks to the establish
ment of a definite line of demarca-
tion between the British and Kemal-
lists in the Chanak zone. placing them
out of rife shot of each other.

MAIN STREETS OVERSEAS.

1t is reported that the author of Main
Street, who has been abroad recently,
has come back with heightened respect
for American towns in general, includ-
ing even Gopher Prairie.
American small town people may be
provincial, devoid of interest or appre-
cation fer art or music or literature,
selfish, scandalmongers, money mad and
all the rest. But set them up alongside
of the small town people of Europe and
the contrast is all in their favor.
Alas for the culture and philosophy of
the Old World! Grasping pettiness,
selfshness, dull ignorance, he found in
even greater abundance than in his de-
spised small town in this country. After
all, the q. S. A. is a pretty good place,
and its small towns are inhabited by
real folks with a growing interest in edu-
cation and opportunity and sane living.
The Carols who fad it otherwise should
take Mr.. Sinclaip Lewis's European trip
and develop a little optimism.

Park Trammell, who is n candidate

term as United States senator from that
state. Senator Trammell is a lawyer
who, though native of Alabama, was
educated in Tennessee. His first exne-
riences in Florida were in rather humble
positions in trade, such as clerking and
bookkeeping. Once he got on his feet,
he turned to law, which he had studied
at Cumberland university, and when adj
mitted to the bar he settled at Lake
land. There he entered politics, became
mayor, and then rose to be a state law
maker, first as representative and later
as senator. From lawmaker to attor-
ney general of the state, and then to be-
ing goYernOr-these were the rungs by
which he climbed into the United States
senate. In his contest for denomination

A RELIGIOUS WAR.

Unfortunate ireland seems to be on
the verge of a religious war.
Such wars were supposed to be over,
strange and almost incomprehensibIe
phase of a past civilization. They have
been anachrontsms for two centuries.
Yet here are North and South ireland
ready to fly at each others throats.
There are those who will deny that
the designation, religious war" is cor
rect in this case; and yet, if war comes,
it will be nothing less. For after all is
said about economic, racial and political
difference between the people of Ulster
and those of South Ireland. the fact re-
mains that their fundamental trouble is
religious incompatibility. 1t is Protes-
tantism and Catholicism against each
other again. perhaps in their last armed
stand. And it is a spectacle to make all
Christendom weep and all heathendom
laugh in mockery
Strictly speaking, there never has
been a religious" war, because war is
contrary to the teaching of true religion.
1t is especially contrary to the teaching
of Christianity, in whose name mis-
guided devotees have fought so often.

CINE that has made the Stanley auto mo-
bile so well known and it contains this
Stanley motor adapted to steam rail
road practice. 1t is equipped with every
modern appliance including air brakes
and electric lights. IF this car proves
the success it is expected to be, it may
work a revolution in the operating of
shortline railroads.
