Three German aeroplanes brought down in two minutes and 30 seconds by a stop watch is the latest exploit Of Second Lieutenant Georges Guy nemer. Incidentally Lieutenant Guy nemer, who is known as "king of the aces," fell 10,000 feet, but escaped un hurt. Guynemer went to the assist ance of a comrade who was hard pressed by five German aviators. Ho brought down two within 30 seconds and then rolling over took a third which he shot down two minutes la ter. He was looking for the remain lng two German machines when a shell burst beneath him and stripped the left wing of his aeroplane of ev ery stlch of its covering. He plunged giddily earthward. "I gave myself up for lost," he said, "but after falling 5,000 feet I thought I would struggle all the same. "Suddenly something happened and my speed diminished. There was a resounding crash and a violent shock, When I recovered my wits I was ia the midst of the fragments of my ma chine and practically uninjured. How I am still alive I ask myself. I be lieved it was the straps which held me to my seat which saved me." On September 16 Lieutenant Guy nemer was officially credited with bis sixteenth enemy aeroplane. - A' week later he was reported to have brought down his seventeenth and eighteenth. He was wounded in a fight in the air last March and in a subsequent fight was forced to ascend between the French and German trenches, but es caped. PRAISES WILSON'S STAND IN BEHALF OF SUFFRAGE The action of the National Suffrage Association at Atlantic City, N. J in rejecting by an overwhelmlngjrote the proposal to make the suffrage movement a partisan annex of the Republi can campaign, was further em phasized by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, "the sage of suffrage," In an interview published In the Philadelphia Press, staunch ( Republican organ. "The President, In his speech to the convention, promised all he could carry out," said Dr. Shaw. "If he had promised more we would have known that he could not carry it out. "Not- the Republican alone, nor the Democrats alone, can bring suffrage. If it could be done that way I would favor it But it can't We must get enough Democrats and Republi cans together to do It" Going Some and Still After Him. HENRY FORD TELLS WHY HE WILL VOTE FOR MR. WILSON The statement of Henry Ford, the automobile manufacturer, giving his reasons for supporting President Wil son in preference to the Republican candidate, causes some comment. Mr. Ford said: To '"fth, I'm supporting Wil son J s supporting the o' v , or, rather because Wall Street, is against Wilson. "I'm for Wilsos because he's 'on to' the Interests the 'unseen hinds' that seek to control governmentand Is holding them $ That he is 'on to' them and is holding them off is proved by his refusal to rush into war with Mexico, sacrificing the lives tt thousands of young Americans to save the dollars that Wall Street has invested in Mexico on a gamble. . "For this one reason alone the nation Is under an obligation to re turn Wilson to the White House. "But for purely business reasons which may appeal more directly to many men, the welfare of the country demands Wilson's re-election. The Republicans are raising a great roar about the eight-hour law and how it will hamper business. "I say and I speak from experi ence, not from guess work that the eight-hour law will help business. "The employers of the country should be as eathuslastically behind Wilson In his advocacy of the eight- hour day as the workers, and they would be if they knew their busine3P. For employers who are hostile to the eight-hour day do not know their busi ness. "We have had the eight-hour day in force in the Ford factory for three years, and we have mare more money each succeeding year under it. It has proved its own merit. "Republicans are arguing that when the war ends all our prosperity will cease) unless we have a Republiian in the White House. "I deny first that war is respon sible for the present prosperity. The Ford company has not taken a dollar of war contracts has refused them time after time and yet our business has grown constantly and we are now 200,000 cars behind orders. "The business of the United States today has a momentum that no man or group of men can stop. "As for the tariff, which Republi cans insist must be revised to help save our prosperity after the war, I want to say that the tariff is noth ing but a hothouse remedy. It may make business sprout for a little while, but Its effect is artificial and it can never produce a hardy, perma nent business plant "If we can not compete on even; terms with any country on earth, j then we ought to quit There la ab-1 solutely no necessity for hard times There Is enough in this world to do for everybody, and this country al ways will find enough to do if the iu- terestffTmd Wall Street will - keep hands Off and not rob the many to enrich the few. "I believe the President hit the nail on the head In a recent speech when he said: " 'The relations of capital and la bor must be regarded as a human re lationship of men with men. Labor must be regarded as part of the gen eral partnership of energy which is going to make for the success of busi ness men and business enterprises.' "When we get somewhere near that basis the -real causes of hard times will disappear. And I believe that Wilson as President will do more to bring an approach to those conditions than Hughes. "I know Hughes. ' Teddy and Wall Street are behind him. Tm a Republican, but I'm for Wll Cleveland Plain Dealer. son. I'm a Republican for the same reason I have ears I was born that way But I'm for Wilson because I believe he can do more to enhance the prosperity and insure the peace of the nation than any other candi date. Any one who does not want peace and who wants to gamble with prosperity should vote against him.' FOR SUCCESSFUL ALFALFA PLANTING IN THIS COUNT Small patches of alfalfa have been grown from time to time in Rocking ham county, and, almsst before they have reached the stage of full develop ment, they have been ploughed under, and while unquestionably benefit has been derived from the nitrogenous de posit, the full return from the alfalfa has not been realized before turning 't rniier. A larger effortJias been made this fall to induce , the planting of small areas by a number of farmers, with the result that somewhere around 126 acres have been laid down and most of the alfalfa Is now well up and good stands secured. The chocolate loam laads of the county are admirably adapted to the growing of alfalfa, which has almost Invariably followed crimson clover. Inoculation has been used, and on an average two tons of ground limestone and 600 pounds 16 per cent acid phos phate applied, with, in some cases, farm-yard manure, where there were hungry spots. The average cost of put ting in alfalfa in the county does not exceed $25 per acre, while Jhe returns during the past year on lands that were planted to alfalfa In 1915 were on an average of eight tons of splendid hay to the acre, equivalent to $160, taking the hay at $20 per ton. In some instances as much as ten tons of hay have been obtained for several years past on as little as three-quarters cf anacre, and those who have planted In an experimental way have increas ed their acreage this season. One acre of alfalfa, on this basis, and "with a little grain fed, will pro duce upwards of 4,000 pounds of pork in the year. There is no expense at tached to the field once planted, ex cept the cutting, and a light harrow ing in the fall, with perhaps the ap plication of some bone meal; and the purchase of cheap lands, at around $25 per acre, and their planting to al falfa, following a preparatory crop of crimson clover, or peas, would appear to be a good Investment. Cartoonist Buys an Island. John T. McCutcheon, cartoonist, has purchased an island in the South Atlantic near the Bahama group, says a special from Chicago. The island is three and a half miles long and a little more than a mile wide and is down on the admiralty chart as Salt Cay Island. To mariners it is known as Treasure island because of the many legends of burled gold which pirates placed there in the days when the rovers of he sea plied their calling. McCutcheon: says heplaces - more faith in the cocoanut trees, of which there are 30,000, than he does in the tales of buried treasure. He expects his returns to come from the products of the soil instead of buried treasure chests. Some 8tay. Major Sidney Chambers of Durham, now on the border, Is of opinion that the North Carolina soldiers will not be mustered out of service before June, 1917. This certainly is a long time to be on the border attempting to suppress Villa, the man shot to pieces some dozen times or more. Greens boro Record. FOR SALE.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF FORM SINCE OUR LAST ISSUE Another Zeppelin raid against Lon don and the East coast t England is In progress. An airship was brought down in flames North of London. Prices of meat animals hogs, cat tle, sheep and chickess increased 4.1 per cent from August 15 to September 15, compared with an average increase of 0.9 per cent in the same period the last six years. Senator J. P. Clarke of Arkansas president pro tempore of the United States Senate, died at his home In Litl tie Rock Sunday afternoon. Senator Clarke suffered a stroke of apoplexy Friday and never regained conscious ness. John M. Parker, Progressive Vice Presidential nominee, announces that he will go to New York to speak against the candidacy of Charles E. Hughes. Mr. Parker reiterates that he prefers Wilson over Hughes, but says he does not expect to speak un der the auspices of the Democratic campaign committee. A seven and a half per cent increase In salaries for more than 3,000 em ployes of mills in Durham, Goldsboro, High Point, Carrboro and Mebane will be given by the Durham hosiery mills, according to notices that have been ordered posted in each plant of the company. Announcement of the addi tional pay was voluntary on the part of the company. President Wilson made it plain that wants no "disloyal" American to vote for him. He expressed indignation ov er a telegram from Jereman A O'Leary of New York, president of the American Truth Society, accusing him of being pro-British and saying he had failed to obtain compliance with American rights. United States Civil Service Commis sion "will hold a special examination for male stenographers November 10. There will be about 200 vacancies for stenographers in the government ser vice at from $900 to $1,000 per annum, Any man desiring to take this exami nation can get full information regard ing it by applying to the United Stales Civil Service Commission, Washing ton.' D. C. The Reading Club Elects Officers. On last Tuesday the annual business meeting of the T. A. R. Club was held with the president, Mrs. Eugene Watt, eleven members being present. The schedule of the program for the com ing year was submitted to the Club and adopted without a change. The members are anticipating great pleas ure in their study of "Sacred Art" this year, and are most appreciative of the efficient work of the committee. Officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows: President Mrs. Eugene Irvin. Vice-President Mrs. Manton Oli ver. ..: Secretary Miss Jessie Lawrence. Treasurer Mrs. R. M. B. Ellington. Librarian Miss Reid. Upon suggestion of the program committee, a new office was created that of Critic, and Miss Emma McKin ney was appointed by the president to fill that place. There are no vacancies this year, perhaps the first time in the Club's history. Mrs. Watt served delightful sand wiches and tea. The first regular meeting of the Club will be on Oct. 3 at the home of Mrs. Eugene Irvln. Buying Fertilizers By Name. A great change has come over the farmers in all the fertiller-dslng sec tions of the South. A few years ago farmers bought fertilizer by the name. Now they have found out that names never yet made cotton or tobacco grow and fertilizers are boughtby Ingredients instead of names. "A Louisa County Hayseed", writing a Virginia exchange, describes the change that has occurred in .. many sections : "We used to haul just plain 'guano,' without stopping to ask what per cent of plant food it carried. You did it over In your county, too. Just so it was Eureka, it didn't make any differ ence whether it was Eureka 10-2 or Eureka 4-8-4, just so it was Eureka.In Louisa and Fluvanna today 90 per cent of our farmers do not care one toot of a gnat's horn whether it has a -ia me or not so the plant food is here in the right mechanical condi ion, properly mixed and derived rom the right sources." - " When we once get a series of arith metics in schools telling the farm bov :iow to compute the value of fertilizer 'ormulas, the old system of buying by name or odor will pass away entire y. The Progressive Farmer. DJSCU PROSPECTS FOR EARLY PEACE Henry Ford Invited to Lunch With President WilsonThe Latter i to Start For Omaha Today on a Speak lng Tour. IS CONGRATULATED ON HIS PINE SPEECH A special from Long Branch, N. J., says: So many messages congratula ting President Wilson on his speccn here yesterday were received by him today that he has decided to follow the same general line ia future ad dresses at Shadow Lawn. His speech es in Omaha, Indianapolis, Chicago and New York which will be before non-partisan organizations, will be less political in tone. Arrangements were completed to day for the President's trip to Oma ha, beginning Tuesday. He will arrive in Omaha Thursday morning at 11:40 o'clock and will remain there until 10 o'clock that-nigh returning toLonr - Branch Saturday morninr at lo Snf. urday afternoon he will address an assemblage of independents here. A busy day has been arranged for him in Omaha. Soon after his ar rival he will attend a luncheon at the Commercial Cub. Then he will ride at the head of a historical pageant and later review it After dinner in the evening he will speak in the Omaha auditorium. Henry Ford of Detroit who recent ly came out in support of Mr. Wilson for another term, has been invited to visit the President here and will lunch with him tomorrow. Prosnecta for peace in Europe are erpected to be discussed. President Wilson recelvel a number of telegrams tolay bearing on his mes sage to Jeremiah O'Leary. president of the American Truth Society, telling him he wanted no "disloyal" Ameri cans to vote for him. Most of the telegrams praised the President for his stand, but a few criticised him. Statements made by a brother of Mr. O'Leary that suit should be brought against the President for libel were received lightly by admin istration officials. No comment was made except that President Wflunn personally handled the telegram to Mr. O'Leary and stands back of the telegram. .- Col. Mi If on Goes to Raleigh. The High Point Enterprise has this about the new superintendent of the Soldiers' Home: Col. D. H. Milton left on train No. 44 this morning for Raleigh to accept tne euperlntendncy of the North Car olina Soldiers' Home. This por.ltio'n was offered film yesterday at a meet ing of the directors of the home and the colonel agreed to accept it tem porarily. The directors plan to ask the next Legislature for a sufficient appropriation to be able to put a com petent physician ia charge. Col. Milton is one of the most hon ored citizens of High Point, having lived here about eight years. He came from Raleigh where he was connected with the Insurance department and for several years was the cashier here of the Home Banking Company. : On account of his health he resigned the position with the bank and of late has been giving his time to the organizing and strengthening of several fraternal j orders, especially the Daughters of La Deny. The colonel is 68 years of age and his friends feel that he has every qual ification to make a success as the su perintendent of the Soldiers' Home, where there has been more or less trouble for some time. It is believed that the High Pointer can bring order out of confusion at Raleigh. - He was a member of the union reserves In tbe Civil War and has always had great respect and love for the old soldier for. he came mighty near being one himself. The war ended just as he was obout to enter the ranks. Colonel Milton was a resident of Reldsvllle for several years. It Was Even Money, Evangelist Ham deals strictly In facts and figures. Most evangelists do. In Durham the other day he asserted: "Judas love for money landed him in hell. Mind you, not the possession of it, but the love for it He got $14 CO for selling out his party and his parly leader." We always understood that Judas got an even fifteen dollars one tea and a five. Wonder why he com pre mised on that sixty cents? It may be that in discovering he was shy forty cents was what led him to sutclJe. Everything. I
