Advocating the modernizing Of the

the politics and foreign policies of
America, President Wilson thrilled q
huge crowd assembled in Independ-

The president touched on Mexico,
the Panama tolls repeal controversy,
his antitrust program, business con-
ditions and his ideas of modern pa
triotism. Pounding his fist. on the
table on which the declaration was
signed, he declared Americans today
must manage their affairs in a way
to do honor to the founders of the
nation. There are. men in, Washing

ism is not snowy, but who accom-
plish great patriotic things. :
Touching on the business condi-

war except when used in self de-
fence as murder.
Father Ross is delivering a series
of sermons on the ethics of Christi
anity. The sermon Sunday was the
second of the series. He spoke in
part as follows:
War except in self-defence or in
nothing more nor less than whole
sale murder. In the field of industry
the employment of little children as
they are now employed means the
stunting and eventually, the de-
struction of thousands of human lives
Men who are responsible for such
employment are guilty of murder"
Men who pay inadqueate wages
to their employees and who as a con-
sequence are responsible for their
living under unsanitary conditions
and in dire poverty, are guilty of
murder. Men, who use every effort
to perpetuate an industrial and social
system. which occasions the commit
ting of the "nameless crimes by men
and women who shrink from the aw-
full responsibilities Of parenthood-
these men are guilty of murder.
Fathers and mothers, who are con-
cerned only about the worldly pro-
spects Of the men who seek their
daughters in marriage and who give
little heed to the question of personal
purity and honor, are guilty Of break
ing this commandment"

NEW QUARTERSF0
LABOR EXCHANGE
Superior to Provide Adequate and
Sanitary Room for Employ
ment Office.

That the State Free Employment
office of Superior will be changed to
adquate and sanitary quarters as de-
manded by the Wisconsin Industrial
commission, was the definite assur-
ance-sof~&* the city,. commission this
morning; and the fears Of those irf-
terested in labor conditions, that !Su-
perior would be deprived of the Of
flee are allayed.
Several week ago, after a number
of petitioners to the city commission,
the industrial commission issued the
ultimatum that unless the city of Su-
perior would provide adequate and
sanitary quarters the office would
have to be discontinued,
The labor bodies, business men and
others interested are anxious for the
continuance of the office and there
was considerable talk of financing
the cost of new quarters by private
subscriptions. The Superior, office
has been one of the most successful
in the state during the past few years
- and, it is believed, is performing a
service for the city, in partially solv-
ing the unemployment problem that
is indispensable.
The local Office was established by
the Trades and Labor assembly in
1900. 1t was later taken over by the
state, and has been conducted under
the industrial commission.
A large number of jobless men who
cannot secure employment, still
throng the streets of the city. Eigh-
teen men secured jobs yesterday and
13 women received chances to work.
One Of the particu1ar facts Of the
women's department of the local free
employment office as we'll as other
women's employment Offices is the
unfillable demand for domestic labor,
In other respects, the supply of la
Dor for both men and women exceeds
the demand.

MURRAY'S GRAM A
,e f1rs+ noteworthy Grammar

The first noteworthy Grammar OF
the English language written by an
American was that Of Lindley Murray,
who died lightweight years ago Mon
day. Murray's Grammar" was used
as a text book in nearly all OF the
schools Of the United States, Canada
and England, and many aged people
can remember when the work OF the
American grammarian was consider
ed the standard authority on the
kings English. Murray was born in
Lancaster county, Pa, in 1745, and
was educated in a Quaker school, aft
erward studying law. He quit the law
for the counting house, and, having
accumulated a snug fortune, he went
to England in 1884 and began, his, lit
erary labors. His Grammar" was
published in 1875, and was followed by
English Exercises" and Key" an
English Reader and a Spelling
Book" A corrected edition Of the
Grammar was published in 1916, and
two years later an a~bridgment Of the
work vas published and went through
$50 editions. Murray was ais the
author of "The Power Of Religion on
the Mind" and other books, once high
ly popular.

WATER REQUIREMENTS
OF PLANTS--A REVIEW

BY l.. b. Waldron: A. bulletin a
recently appeared, the contents deal
ing with things In which the farmers
OF the great plains and the Dakota
farmer empire have much interest. 1t
is bulletin 2S4 Of the Bureau OF Plant
Industry and Is by Lyman j. Briggs
and Fl. l.. Shantz. Of the department
Of agriculture. 1t deals with the sub
ject which heads this article. The re-
suits are not of immediate practical
value but the results are OF great
Importance, l believe.
7 The work was done at Akron, Colo,
in 1911. Plants were grown in pots.
&c inches tall and Is inches in dame
ter. The pots were. covered TO pre-
vent loss Of moisture by evaporation,
with openings through the covers
for the plants. The purpose OF
the experiment was to determine
the exact amount of water TO
grow the various crops experiment.
ed with. The crop, whatever 1t was.
was harvested at maturity or at time
secured. AS the amount Of water
added was known, 1t was easy to cal
culate the amour Of water required
to grow any definite amount OF crop.
The plants were not grown under
field conditions but they were all
grown In a comparable manner n
the results checked up we'll with the
amount Of water required by plants
grown under field conditions. Is
closely as the amount required by
field grown plants could be deter
mined.
Water Requirement.
The water requirement" of a
plant is simply the amount of water
@1Isr NN&t So, - ~ n ' 1F
the dry plant material. II It takes 500
pounds Of water to grow one pound Of
dry corn fodder, then the water re-
quirement OF the corn fodder is 500.
The same thing may be said for any
plant or for any amount Of water.
It may be expressed in IONS as well
as in pounds, the ratio remains the
same. The water, Of course, comes
from the soil.
The absolute water requirement is
Of interest. 1t Is well known that
various climatic AMI soil factors at
feet the amount of water required by
plants. A comparatively dry condl-
ton Of tho air. intense sunshine, high
winds and high temperature seems to
Increase the amount Of water required
and dc. also an inefficient supply Of
plant food in the soil. q. very low or
a very high supply Of water, etc.
With corn, King, working in Wis
consin, found the water requirement
to be 271, Briggs and Schantz in Colo
RADIO found it to be 1863. while Widtsoe,
working in Utah. founI the water re-
quirement to be $50. Thus the water
requirement was found to increase as
the climatic conditions became more
severe.
Results Secured by Briggs and schantz.
The following table gives a sum-
mary of the water requirements OF
some of the crops with which they
worked. These figures arc for the en-
tire crop and not for the grain.

Crop
Water requirement

The relative amount Of water is also
shown, using wheat as the basis. That
is, If we let the water requirement Of
wheat be 100, just assuming it at 100
to make it simpler, the water require
ment of millet would be 81, or "a per
cent at Of wheat.
Alfalfa is seen to have a higher
water requirement than any plant ex-
perimented with, the next in order be-
ing Canada field peas. Oats have the
highest water requirement Of any Of
the commonly grown small grains. The
water requirement of legumes ranges
from TO to 1910, Of the small grains
from $40 to 725 and Of millet, sorghum.
and corn from 275 to 370. 1t is worth
mentioning that the legumes, with a
comparatively high protein content,
require a comparative abundance Of
water and that oats, also relatively
rich in protein, is strong in its de-
mands for water.
Briggs and Shantz worked with diff
ferent varieties of the various crops.
Taking wheat and emmer they secured
