•MUCH WHEAT AND
HAY BEING SHIPPED
Value of These Crops in This
Community for The Season
Estimated at $50,000
The wheat anti hay crop
in this section continue to sur
prise everybody with the big
yields that are being made.
Eighteen cars of wheat have
been hipped from Newark
this season and the nineteenth
car is being loaded today. It
is thought that 12 or 15 more
cars of wheat will be shipped
from here and with 10,000
bushels yet to be shipped,
from here before the close of
the season, as the majority of
the crop in the lower part of
the bottom and the Point nei
ghborhood is yet to be thresh
ed. Fully 15,000 bushels of
wheat have shipped from here
and with 10,000 buhels yet
to be shipped, menas
that more than $25,000
worth of wheat has been pro
duced in this community this
season. In addition to this,
many farmers have stored
enough wheat to furnish them
with flour for a year.
The market continues to
hold up well and the Newark
Canning Company, the only
local buyers, are paying the
farmers $1 a bushel for wheat
loaded on the cars in Newark.
The hay crop is unusually
large and although the crop is
just fairly beginning to move,
more than 40 cars have been
shipped -by J. W. Sisk, the lo
cal hay dealer.
The demand for hay is not
as strong as the demand for
wheat, and Mr. Sisk says he
could easily have bought and
shipped 100 cars of hay if he
could find a' market for it.
It is estimated that this sea
son's wheat and hay crop in
this community will bring the
famers at least $50,000.

nogs which Milligan claimed.

Charles Bunch carried a club.
Mrs. Miiiigan has a daughtf \
Bessie, aged 16.

BILLY SUNDAY TAKES
SHOT AT THE YANKS
In a recent sermon at Patter
son. New Jersey, Billy Sunday
said :
“Fifty two per cent of the
men who live south of the Ma
son and Dixon line are profes
ed Christians; north of the
Mason and Dixon line, 24 per
cent. There are more pure
blooded Americans south of
the Mason and Dixon line than
anywhere else in this country,
That’s why so many of them
are Christians. I say that even
if my old dad was one of the
boys in blue and fought again
st them. They were hard to
lick down there because they
were real Americans. South
of the Mason and Dixon line
they have got the north beat a
frazzle in religion and morals.
1'hat’s why it took thirty mil
lion northerners to lick nine
million southerners.”

SINKING OF U. S. SHIP
NOT SERIOUS MATTER
Boat Sunk By German Sub
marine Was Carrying Con
iraLand—Crew Saved.
The war scare was given a
(strong impetus when it was
learned that Germany had
(sunk an American ship last
: Monday.
Further information ofdetail
concerning sinking of Ihe ship
[Leelanaw indicates that the
; provisions of the American
(notes to Germany were com
Ipiied with by the German sub
marine commanders and that
its sinking will not cause a
| further tensing of the situation
(between the United States and
: Germany. The cargo, (lax,
was declared absoulte contra
band at the outset of the war
and the right of seizure and
search was exercised fully, fur
ther reports indicate, before
the ship was sent to the bot
tom.
The Leelanaw case now be
comes similar to the dispute
brought about by the sinking
ot the William P. Frye and
[does not come under the points
|contended in the sinking of the
Lusitania, which aroused such
vigorous condemnation in this
jcounry. The crew of the Lee
jlanaw was removed from the
jship after it was learned it was
[carrying absolute contraband,
1 placed aboard the submarine
and later released in boats be
fore the vessel was sunk.
The principal cause of dis
pute between Germany and the
United States now over the
Leelanaw incident it is'believed
will be the same as that con
cerningFrye. That is that the
United States government,
under the provisions of the
treaty of 1828, does not admit
the right of Germany to sink
an American ship, even though
it be bearing contraband until
it is proved absolutely that the
cargo was destined for a de
partment of the government of
a nation hostile to Germany.
CO-OPERATION GREAT
Do you know that co-opera
tion is a mighty fine thing?
I hat co-operation among the
churches, and the societies,
land the lodges, ami the busi
ness men and the people is the
jbackboen ol’ town and country
(No community can hope to
really thrive until it learns the
i lessons and value of co-opera
tion, for unless we pull togeth
er the loads drawn will be
small and of slight avail. Let
us have more of the spirit of
co-operation in this town, for
our opportunities are many j
and as yet undeveloped. .
