CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRESI-
DENT URGES PEOPLE TO RE-
VIVE THEIR INTEREST. WHOLE
COUNTRY IS AT STAKE.
J. s'. Mullen president of the Cham-
ber of Commerce said today apropos
the buy-a-bale movement:
"Some of our good citizens in view
of tiif fact that cotton is selling for
less than ten cents on the street and
is even selling at all are of the opin-
ion that they should pursue this sub-
ject lo further. This if they please
is error. This is the very essence of
the move. To prevent the marketing
of the cotton at this time and yet
afford those in distress funds with
which to live and pick the remainder
of 'their crop this is the meat of the
proportion. Let all good people here
and elsewhere join in this laudable
move. Admitting that you may lose
three or four dollars what boots it
when the welfare of the south in par-
ticular and that of the whole coun-
try in general is in the balance. Pa-
triotism is yet a cardinal virtue in Am-
erica. The railroads are taking a hand in
helping the country. Their policy in
this connection is so much more rad-
ically favorable than former years.
that it requires in justice to them
wide and kindly comment. R. 1'. El-
rod for instance representing the
FrUco system is in the city for the
purpose of delivering scientific Infor-
mation on seed distribution planting
and the like. His corps from time to
time go into the field and actually
on the ground point out the good to
be d -rived by certain conduct; they
send bulletins throughout the year on
given subjects; they advise as to mar
keting and the like. Such moves sup-
ported by such capital and such wide
varied and accurate technical Infor-
mation if taken advantage of prop-
erly by those interested must inevi-
tably redound to the interest of all.
Let the farmer get in touch with these
railroad departments the state depart-
ment of agriculture and the still broad
er field that of the federal govern
ment. Life is too short to experiment
yourself. Let the other man experi
ment and you take advantage of it
particularly where it costs only a two-
cent stamp and where they are there
begging you to lend a willing ear
and listening heed their admonitions.
Information unheeded gets you no-
where. The tiling to do is to learn
then practice; results will take care
of themselves."

BURGLAR
ATTEMPTS
TO GAIN
ENTRANCE
A fusillade of pistol shots on north
Washington street near the Elks hall
about 10 o'clock last night startled
the citizens of that peaceful neighbor-
hood. Al Hice arriving at home about
that hour discovered a front window
open that he was confident he iiad
closed upon going out and called the
police. When the officer arrived the
intruder who was evidently hiding on
the front porch made a break up the
street and in order to facilitate his
movement the officer emptied a six-
gun after him.
Evidently the intruder had just ar-
rived when Mr. Rice made his ap-
pearance as there was nothing miss-
ing from the home this morning.

WORK FROM CITY TO THE CADDO
BRIDGE A NECESSITY AT PRES
ENT. FROM BRIDGE TO SPRIN-
GER ROAD IS GOOD.
Some time ago at a meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce it was sug-
gested that the Springer road from
the city to Caddo bridge be worked by
the citizens of the city and that too
before the fall rains set in. The cit-
izens of Springer headed by Mr. Wil-
son an enthusiastic good roads advo-
cate assembled and worked the road
from Springer to Caddo bridge and
that section of the road is as good as a
turnpike and graded in such a inan-H
tier that it will shed fall rains and re-
main in a. passable condition. From the
bridge to this city so much cannot be
said the road is bad and unless some-
thing is done and that at once It will
be nearly jmpassable as soon as a
heavy rain falls. The Chamber of
Commerce will not have another meet-
ing before the close of the State Fair
but in the meantime something must
be done to the road in question.

Beginning' of Seventh Day of Battle of Aisne Shows Al-
lies and Germans Both Making Fiercest Attacks up-
on Opponents' Center Allies Claim Their Turning

mans' Retreat Lines Germans Have Built Under-
ground Tunnels and Have Continuous Line of Forti-

Servians Claim Big Victory.
NISH SERVIA Sept. 22. The Servians announce a

PARIS Sept. 22 2:30 p. m. An official announce-
ment says: "Along the entire front from the Oise to the
Woevre the Germans yesterday showed some activity
without appreciable results however.
"(1) On our left the Germans were obliged to yield
before the French attacks. Between the Oise and Aisne
the situation is unchanged. The enemy has made no seri-
ous attacks.
"(2) On the center between Rheims and Soualn
the enemy attempted an offensive movement which was
repulsed.
Both sides admitted at the beginning of this the sev-
enth day of the Aisne battle that they were making
heavy attacks on each other's centers.
Near Rheims and the heights of Craonne the French
claimed that the flanking movement against Von Kluck
continues. Elsewhere on the one hundred mile front
both Paris and Berlin agreed that the armies had ap-
parently settled down to a sLw digging advance.
Berlin claims that the Germans captured the Cra-
onne hills efghteen miles northwest of Rheims and also
successfully attacked and forced back slightly the French
army corps at the forest south of Verdun. The French
admit this retirement.
Paris reported that after a brief lull the French
resumed the Craonne fighting killing many Germans.
Yesterday the French there resorted to hand-to-hand
fighting but it is reported that the Germans preferred to
rely on their mortars firing shells six feet long.
The allies claim that fresh French troops have
reached Peronne which is seventeen miles northwest of
St. Quentin in a turning movement against Von Kluck
and that this threatens to cut Germany's retreat lines.
The allies also claim that they have partly penetrated
the German line between Rheims and Argonne further
imperiling the Germans' retreat.
On the battle front the Germans have built under-
ground passage ways turned disused quarries into forts
and now have practically a continuous chain of fortifica-
tions about one hundred miles long.
Germans Still in Brussels.
Berlin Sept. 22. It is officially de-
nied here that the Germans have left
Brussels as Antwerp reported yes
terday.
Cathedral Walls Standing.
London Sept. 22. The Rheims No
tre Dame cathedral walls are still
standing and can be mostly restored
but the interior glass work and treas-
ures have been largely destroyed.
Sea Battle in Africa.
Capetown South Africa Sept. 22.
Details of the sea fight Sunday morn-
ing in Zanzibar harbor show that the
German cruiser Koenlgsberg entering
the harbor at full speed opened fire
on the British cruiser Pegasus at a
distance of eight miles approaching
finally to within six miles. The Ger-
man vessel disabled the Pegasus' guns
within fifteen minutes twice shooting
away the Pegasus' colors which Brit-
ish sailors finally held aloft in their
hands. The Koenlgsberg sailed away
unhurt.
Twenty-Two Drowned.
Trebizonde Asia Minor Sept. 22.
Twenty-two were drowned in the sink'
ing of the British steamer Belgian
King near Cape Kurell yesterday. A
mine Is suspected as the cause of the
accident.
Three Sunk bf Submarine.
London. Sept. 22. The official press
bureau announces that a German sub-
marine sank the three British pro-
tected cruisers Aboukir Hogue and
Cressy in the North Sea. The Abou-
kir was torpedoed first. The other two
were sunk when they approached to
the rescue of the Aboukier's crew.
1 lie number of casualties Is unknown.
All three of the cruisers were of an
obsolete type.
Still Bombarding Przemsyl.
London Sept. 22. The Russians
claim they are still bombarding Przem-
syl and that the Austrians are retreat-
ing In Galicia.
More Dropping of Bombs.
Amsterdam Sept. 22. It is reported
that a bomb was dropped today in
.Maastricht Belgium. None were
killed.
Germans Forced Back
Paris Sept. 22. The western wing
of the German line (on allies' left
wing) has been thrust back about sev-
en miles during the last forty-eight
hours as a sequel to continuous fight-
ing day and night.
Both armies despite almost super-
i numan latigue snow tue utmost de
termination not to yield an Inch of
ground without a terrible struggle
but the fresher troops at the disposal
of the allied commanders have gradu-
ally forced the Germans to recede.
The Turcos are adding dail;J to
their rerord of daring achievements.
Sunday night in a costly bayonet en-
counter they broke through the Ger-
man lines without firing more than a
few shots and recaptured and brought
back four field guns the French had
abandoned the previous day. They ap-

pea red to disdain the murderous rifle
and machine gnu tire poured into
them refusing to listen to the offi
cers who tried to keep them under
cover.
Cold steel again played considerable
part today in the battle of the enor
mous hosts lighting along the Aisne
the Oise anil Woevre. The most n
markahle point about the encounters is
that the troops scarcely see each other
before they come hand to hand.
Recklessness displayed at the begin-
ning of hostilities with the resultant
carnage through the machine guns
lias almost disappeared and every
movement of the attacking and de-
fending troops is carried out with the
utmost caution until the moment of
actual contact.
The Germans have suffered most in
these engagements for the French
troops from Africa and the British
infantry are adepts with the bayonet
and they await in the trenches until
their adversaries are so close that a
quick dash brings them together.
General Joffre is enjoying robust
health. The country behind the French
army is being rapidly repopulatod

CARTER COUNTY FARMER WILL
CONDUCT MODEL FARM FOR
THE FRISCO LINES EXPERI
MENTS WILL BE MADE.
It. P. Elrod farm demonstrator
with the Frisco Lines is here from
Sherman. Ho will put In a demon
stration farm here this spring if he
can get some suitable person who
will take charge of it. He wants a
good farmer who will agree to cul
tivate about ten acres under the
instructions of the railway com
pany heed will bo furnished the
farmer and frequent trips will be
made to the farm in an advisory-
way. Corn cotton Sedan grass
crimson clover and other crops will
be grown. The Frisco is giving a
great deal of attention to better
farming methods better marketing
facilities better dairying and better
horticultural methods. Kxperts In
each department are sent out to
work along these different lines.
Mr. Elrod was with the govern
ment when the fight was taken up
against the boll weevil In southern
Texas. Out of that campaign in
Texas grew the idea of federal
farm demonstrators. So much was
accomplished that the government
has kept men in Its employ ever
since to teach agriculture and the
railway companies are doing some
valuable work along the same line.
Mr. Elrod held a meeting last
night at the Itandol hotel with sev-
eral farmers. Among those present
were Robert Scott W. F. Warren
Wm. Kirkpatrick Walter Colbert
G. W. Young. James R. Taliaferro
and M. I Alexander. The advan-
tage of farm demonstration work
"and of seed breeding were gone
Into. Mr. Elrod gave an Interesting
lesson on the seed selling graft of
the country and urged people to
breed their own seed where they
intend to plant them.
A deal was closed 'his morning
with C. C. Helm who lives a short
distance east of town to take the
Frisco work in this county. Mr.
Helm is one of the most progressive
farmers In the county. He has good
teams he works with the farm dem-
onstrators and Is well acquainted
with modern methods of agriculture.
The Frisco could not have gotten
a better man to take Its work.

CONGRESSMAN CARTER AND
.OTHER MEMBERS OF OKLAHO-
MA DELEGATION AT WASHING-
TON OPPOSE POSTPONEMENT
OF SALE OF SURFACE.
Washington 1). ('. Sept. 22.
Congressman Carter and the other
members of Oklahoma delegation in
congress are protesting vigorously
against any postponement ot the
sale of the surface of the segregat-
ed mineral lands.
It has been called to the atten-
tion of the commissioner that the
financial stringency might prevent
the procuring of an adequate price
for these lands and a postponement
until spring was suggested.
The Oklahoma representative's con-
tention is that these lands will bo
bought largely by farmers and stock-
men and thai this class of people
have more money In the fall of the
year than in the spring and that
the matter should not be further de-
loyed on the uncertainties of finan
cial conditions.

UNITED COTTON SEED COMPANY
FORCED THE PRICE UP $2 A
TON YESTERDAY ROUND BALE
GIN SERVES AS STORAGE.
The United Cotton Seed company
the officers of which are Walter
Colbert W. F. Warren and Morris
Sass entered the field yesterday as
purchasers of cotton seed. These
people are storing what seed they
buy in the old round bale gin build-
ing belonging to Mr. Warren a short
distance north of the Santa Fe sta-
tion. The price was put at fl2 to
begin with and they made several
purchases their first day in the
market. The price that seed had
brought up to yesterday was $10 a
ton.
The same people entered the seed
market last year and raised the price
from $14 to $20 a ton. Many per-
sons are of the opinion this year
that seed should be selling at $20
a ton and entertain the hope that
such a price will pervail before
many weeks.
