Between July 28th and September 5th,!the rise in the pri.ce of May wheat was 41 5-8c, of which nearly one-half now has been wiped out.

In "The Little Grey Ladf", the four part adaptation of Chunning Pollock's storv bv the Famous Players, Pro ducer Francis Powers has given us not only a sulendid story) but he has told it unusually well. j The exteriors and some of the more impressive of the interiors are staged in the Capital City. It lis said Mr. Powers received substantial aid from Government authoritits in the ruakiDg of the picture; certainly there is at mosphere. The large room represent ing a part of the Treasury building is an unusual setting Immediately there is wonder on the ;part of the observer whether it is Washington or the studio. Then, again, j the j matter-of-fact way in which thejehief of the Secret Service marks th bills when setting a trap for the crooked clerk materially heightens the illusion. The staging is elaborate and -well done. "The Little Grey Lady!' is straight drama. The story holds through sheer strength of plot, and depends in no measure on the spectacular Surelv Miss Grey is fortunate in the i medium through , which she makes her bow to picture followers. ; She splendidly fits the character of "The Little Grev Lady." the woman who sticks tight to the man she loves, de spite his crimes, and ignores : the love even as she recognizes the depth of the friendship and the self-renuncia tion of a better man. The production is one in every way worthy of the studio from which it comes. It will be presented at the Crystal tomorrow and Thursday. ; Cotton is looking up. ' The South is looking up. The Buy-a-Bale campaign far and wide. j Witness the following Associated Press dispatch from New York: "The more optimistic feeling noted in local cotton trade circles yesterday was even more in evidence today and seemed to be largely based on the reports of a better tone in (the south ern spot markets. Handlers of spot cotton said that their private advices from the south, as .well as! the offers that were being received) by New England mills, suggested that south ern shippers were becoming less pan icky as to the probable effect of in-, creasing supplies, owing to j the meas-! ures that were being taken to relieve the immediate necessities of needy planters and to facilitate the holding movemtjnt. 'BuHa-Balef clubs are said to be forming all over the south, while rapid progress is also reported in tne work of building warenouses, and many reports indicate that farm ers are either holding cotton in the seed or hauling it back from the gins.7 The hopes and predictions of a week ago are coming true. Tncf ranK ana file of Southern people are proving their patriotism and sound sense by coming to the relief of the cotton situ ation. They are coming as! communi ties and clubs, as individual men and women, buying a bale of cotton, one "bale at least, more if they can, buying it from the farmer and agreeing to hold it until normal prices are re stored. This plan must win, if support it. The people are PROGRAMME. Sunday School Convention, Stone j Creek Township, at Salem, Sunday, Sentember 20th, 1914. 10 a. m. Opening JExercisos, by Rev. C. O.

The greatest opportunity in history presents itself to the South as a result of the terrible conflicts of Europe. AVhile nations are plunged into destructive warfare the United States is arousing herself from commercial lethargy and is preparing to take advantage of the situation a situation which in sures to this country nothing less than world-supremacy. It is the day and hour for the building of our nation into the greatest that the world has ever known, secure in its geographical position, match less in its resources, impregnable in its '."commercial and industrial security. ' A vital question lies before, the South, within the comprehension of all and amenable to decisive action. For the solution of this great '.question I ask your earnest attention and a prompt expression of your views and whether or not you will personally co-operate with me at a minimum expenditure of your time to secure the great benefit which it implies fox' the South. It is the question of immigration and of its diversion to the Southern States.' The resources of the South are practically undeveloped and the very surface of its wealth has been but lightly scratched. . - To develop these resources, to force the South into a commanding and advantageous position and to secure this wealth, men are required, particularly those men who will till the soil. Such immigration as the South shall seek ot her own initiative should be of a high type, of those people who best are assimilated into the rank and file, the ilesh and blood, of the American people. There can be no question that there Avill be an emigration to this country, followinff the closp of European wars, greater than at any previous tinie. ' " The South may idly stand aside and see this great tide of immigration and prosperity flow to aggressive and far-seeing states of the North and Middle AVest, or she may put forth active meas ures to secure her own selection ot that immigration for her material development. With devastated homes, with burdens of thousands of millions of dollars to support as the result of war debts, always surrounded by hostile races ami in danger of invasions and of bloody conflicts, ever taxed to support immense army and navy budgets, the better class of citizens of the Northern countries of Europe will be found responsive to a presentation of the advantages of the South. I believe that active measures should be adopted and that the importance of the subject is too great to permit it to perish without determined action. These measures can not be instituted too soon. I would suggest for the consideration of commer cial and other organizations the creation of a Southern Immigration Commission, composed of dele gates from the Southern States. The states could well afford to support a minimum of two represen tatives each, with executive offices, perhaps at Washington, D. C., and the plan should be not difficult to tinance. It would be the duty of tlie Commission to study the question of immigration in its many phases; to prepare for the sending of its representatives" abroad at the proper time for the presentation of the many advantages of the South and 'to select desirable immigration ; to compile accurate informa 1 ion regarding each of the Southern Slates. It 'might easily create an active fund from which to defray the expenses of worthy agricultural" iiniuigrants to this country ; maintain a bureau for re cording the specific inquiries of farmers for farm laborers, tenants and purchasers; and, in fact, to develop what is beyond denial a work of tremendous siope and of far reaching effects in the future history and the progress of the South. Will you use your influence to secure state interest and representation? Will you help organize a Southern Immigration Congress to exist for a definite term of years and to carry on this great work? A flat answer is requested yes or no. Can we arouse sufficient interest in the South for the benefit of the South to make it worth while to pursue the subject? . . - Awaiting your prompt reply and an expression of your ideas, I am, '''v-v ' Very truly yours, Z.

In this moving municipality such a procedure is pursued once each month throughout the entire circus season. Three men begin operations very early in the morning and usually require the entire day to complete their task The last census of the Ringling Bro thers' circus disclosed a population of 1,371 men, women and children; 735 horses, 41 elephants, 32 camels, 10 ze bras, 5 giraffes and 1003 wild animals The greatest increase over past seas ons is evidenced in the number of peo ple. This is explained by the fact that the new spectacle of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba is being presented up on a much larger scale than any pro duction of this nature yet offered by the Ringling Brothers. One hundred more dancing girls are introduced in the ballets than ever before, and other features have been enlarged in simi lar proportion. The new spectacle has also been responsible for the increase in train facilities, a total of 89 double length cars now being required to haul the wondera of this marvelous circus.. Gigantic means are employed to feed this city of Ringlingville. More than 4,000 meals are served dally to its people alone in a vast canvas hotel said to be the largest ever traveled.
