It is thought that the county committees are meeting with success too. Everybody is urged to attend. Action will have to be quick if we arc to have a fair this fall.

The Glass rural credits bill, providing for a fed eral farm loan bill, passed the house by a vote of 2!hr to 10. A similar measure already ha passed the sen ate, and the differences probably will be worked out soon in conference. Little oposition was encountered by the bill, which was piloted through the house by Representative Glass of Virginia- and Representative Phelan of Massachusetts. Under its terms the land banks would lend money to farm ers at not more than 6 per cent inter est, through local loan associations, and mortgages would be used by the banks as the bas's for farm loan jonds. There are many differences between the senate and the house bills to be adjusted. The senate measure would capitalize each farm loan ;;nk at $500,000, the house at $150:000. The senate would authorize loan associa tions v-itlh urdmited :irabi!:tv: the house would not. The senate would imit loans on lands to 50 per cent with no recognition of improvements, the house proposes to grant 00 per cent on land values and 20 per cent of value on permanent insurable im provements. The senate proposes that no loan shall be made if the three members of the local loan committee are not unanimous in their appraisment; the house would require a majority re port of the committee. Ihe senate makes the minimum loan $200; the house of $100. The senate would charge borrower 10 per cent interest on all defaulted payments; the house would charge only contract rates. Ihe senate would require local associations to make good all defaults within dO days after notice from a local bank; the house would provide a special re serve to protect associations. The senate bill requires advance payments on the principal in sums of $100 or multiples and the house $25 or multiples. The senate makes the act ual earning power of the land a prin cipal factor and the house maKes tne agricultural value the principal basis f appraisment. under the senate rmi local associations would be required to hold 25 per cent of net earnings to borrowers, while the house would require all net earning to be paid to borrowers as dividends. With the passage of the rural red- its bill, Democratic house leaders pre pared to bring the administration shipping bill up for consideration be gnning tomorrow. U. S. I (By the Associated Press) Washington, May 16. Revised figures on the army reorganization bill as submitted to the senate today show that the new army will be larg er than at first believed. Careful analysis shows that the maximum strength in peace time will be 211,000 men, officers and men and that the war strength will be 261,500. The na tional is-uard would total 407,000, mak ing a total of vore :o0,00. TO PRESIDENT'S (V.v the Associated Press) Washington, May 16.

A net gain of $24,250,000 has been realized by Great Britain from the seizure of enemy ships and their cargoes in the last twenty months of the war, according to the record of the prize court.

Some idea of the work already done may be gathered from the fact that more than 1,000 writs for prize proceedings have been issued. The goods which have been seized and condemned as contraband rep resent every possible variety, ranging from windmills, tombstones and hu man hair to wild animals which were intended fror the Berlin zoo.

Leon ard Rudolph Alexander Gyllenpalm, a member ot one ot the oldest families in Sweden a family knighted in the seventeenth entury and registered in the "Riddarhus," or Swedish house of nobles has onfessed to the double murder which recently occurred in one ot the branch banks of Stockholm, and which stirred all Sweden because of the brutality and mystery of the crime. The manager of the bank was found with a hatchet in his skull and a woman clerk was shot dead. The chance capture of Gyllenpalm and his own cold-blooded story of the crime have made thrilling read ing for the Swedish people. His nemesis worked in the person of a young Swedish woman with a good memory for faces. She had seen the nobleman emerge from the bank, and though she did not then know of any murder having been committed, she notified there was something strange about his manner. When she her self had entered the bank she found the bodies of the manager and the woman clerk, and then realized that the man she had seen hurrying from the place must have been murderer. She described the man to the police as best she could, but the detectives made absolutely no headway until, more than a fortnight afterward, the same young lady passed the murderer on the street. She thought she re congized him but was not sure. With a girl companion she followed the man several blocks until they fell in with a policeman to whom the girl told her suspicions, and the officer de cided to arrest him. The nobleman at first denied all knowledge of the crime, but after he had been held for two days, an analysis of some spots on his clothes and shoes established that they were stains of human blood and when con fronted with this evidence, Gyllen palm confessed. He said he was m desperate need of money and had planned the crime weeks ahead. He rmlv intended, however, to kill the branch manager, thinking no one else would be at the bank at the time, ne carried the hatchet in a leather port fnlin fir lflWVer 's brief case. He was surprised to see the woman clerk and followed the first impulse to shoot, hn vino- romm itted the double murder, be became alarmed and fled without securing any money whatever. Direct from the scene he went to a restaurant a few blocks away and joined a party of friends at a mid day breakfast, eating a hearty meal and drinking several glasses oi wine That afternoon the newspapers were full of the accounts of the mysterious m,,rfior Ovllenrjalm. however, mov ed about among his friends without the slightest evidence tnat ne was than ordinarily stirred by the news. He had dinner down town ,;i. -fvienrl and when the meal was finished he suggested a walk around to the bank to see where such an atrocious murder had been committed. There was a crowd of the morbidly ohniit the door, which was guarded by a policeman. Gyllenpalm, in his confession, told how while he was standing there in the crowd about the bank some one remarKeu. IfTf- Jo a nnrinilB thing, but 3l UlUf derer always returns to the scene of Via rTiTY1P.,, Gyllenpalm said that upon hearing this he gave way at the knees and al most sank to the sidewalk, but his ;nA, i,orii thrmo-ht he merely slipped.

German activities on the Verdun front are being continued pnoroot. cally west of the Meuse. where the French positions on the Avocourt wood and Hill No. 304 are beine- sub jected to German bombardments. The only infantry activity mention ed in this afternoon's bulletin from Paris was in the vicinity of the Dou aumont wood northeast of the fort ress, where a German hand grenade attack is declared to have been re pulsed. News is awaited as to the fate of the German battleships which left Kiel last night for Riga. Petrograd last night stated that a powerful of fensive against the Riga front was in prospect. Italy is following the example of Great Britain and France in prohib- ting the importation of luxuries and bulky articles not necessary to the populace.

Rain has fallen all about us. A storm has moved from Cuba to Florida, Durham had a rain Monday, Morgan ton Saturday, and Charlotte will have one May 20. Farmers are becoming uneasy. These men who take nature as it is, who maintain good cheer the year round, who smile in lean years and hope, are seeing money burned out of their hands. Mill men with plants along rivers are worried. Some of the plants have to close down for a part of the day. The Catawba can be waded in many places by a ten- year-old boy without danger.

The Italians also have made further progress against the Aus trians on Mount Sperone. Attacks by the Austrians to the north of Lenzumo were repulsed by the Italians. Elsewhere along this front there have been only artillery engagements. Little of fighting of moment is go ing on between the Teutonic allies and the Russians on Russian territory, ex cept artlilery duels. In the Caucasus region the Rus sians are continuing their advance against the Turks, according to Pet rograd. In the operation toward Mos ul, having Bagdad as its objective, the Turks are declared to have re treated precipitately before the Rus sians, abandoning war material. The Russians are pressing on in pursuit. The differences between Greece and the entente powers have been amica bly settled, according to an announ cement ot the British foreign office. This announcement possibly means ttha Greece has acquissced in the re quests of the entente allies for permis sionfor Serbian troops to cross Greece to Saloniki from the island of Corfu. The British prime minister, who has been in conference with the Ul sterites at Belfast, it is reported from that city, received little encourage ment in his endeavors to bring the Ul sterites and Nationalists to an agree ment with respect to future govern ment in Ireland.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y., May 1G. The unification of the Methodist Epis copal church and the Episcopal Church south, was endorsed almost unani mously by conference. The conference adopted the report which endorsed the union of the two branches. The general conference of the Southern church is expected to act in 1918 and the Northern branch in 1920. The report recommends the amal gamation of the branches of Ameri can Methodism with the supreme gen eral conference as the supreme body of the church and separate Episcopal supervision for the negroes. The report was adopted amid un bound enthusiasf. Only one speech was made that was made in favor of adoption. The proposed amalgamation would be a federation that would protect all the various interests. It was explained that the Interests of the negroes would be protected and they also would be allowed to work out their own destiny.
