PATIENT IS DYING.
Kulas Not Yet Dead, But No
 Hope is Held Out for Him.

Through a misunderstanding con- cerning the condition of Stanley Kulas of 132 South Main street it was reported last evening that he had died at the hospital. Kulas is still alive, but late this afternoon it was stated by the hospital officials that he is in a dying condition, as he has been for the past forty-eight hours, and there is no hope for his recovery.
 James Doyle, at whose livery stable the hospital ambulance is kept, denies a statement that there was no driver so the police ambulance had to be summoned to take Kulas to the hos pital. He says he had four men on duty at the time. According to the emergency report at headquarters this is the reason that Dr. George Dunn called In the police ambulance.

GERMANY WILL
 NOT SEEK PEACE
(Continued From First Page.)

! his address by saying that in the countries at war with Germany there had been much discussion of the so- ciasist interpolation, and that the knowledge that peace was to be dis cussed in the Reichstag had been a source of satisfaction to these coun- tries. This was incomprehensible, in | view of the success won in the cam Spaign against Serbia, which opened the road to Germany's Turkish allies and threatened the most vulnerable ebints of the British empire.
 No Overtures Made.
 Although this situation would ex- plain desire for peace on the part of Germany's enemies, he declared none of them had made overtures. In stead, they were clinging to the in tentions which they had announced ! publicly with naive brutality" at the beginning of the war.
 The chancellor then reviewed re- cent utterances concerning conditions of peace made in countries opposed ! to Germany, such as the hauling over \ of Alsace and Lorraine to France, the annihilation of "Prussian mili- tarism," the expulsion of the Turks, | cession of the left bank of the Rhine T and the creation of greater Serbia | including Bosnia. ~~
 Voices Were Unheard.
 & It was true, the chancellor contin- kued, that there were some persons in the countries at war with Germany which took a sensible position but 3they were in the minority and their 3voices, like those of certain mem bers tof the English house of lords, were & unheard. a.ss 3 The theories advanced by Germans enemies, he said, had lost their force had ceased speaking of a war {of twenty years.

New York, Dec. 9.-Wall St, 10:30 Q. m.-Irregular price changes with a majority of nominal advances, &C., companied todays early dealings on the stock exchange. Overnight de- velopments, including the note to Austria, were without effect beyond imparting a degree of hesitation. Bear selling of United States Steel depressed that stock half point to S6 3-4, from which it promptly rose to S7 5-S. There were further sub- stantial gains in certain specialties, especially motor issues, but rails were dull and narrow. Anglo-French notes for future delivery made the new low quotation of 95 3-4.

French Want Peace,

In this connection, Dr. Scheidemann spoke of the statement made recently in the English house of commons by Baron Courtney that the British gov crnment should show itself ready to accept any suggestions which would end the war. He referred to the at titude of Italian socialists and to the utterances of Count Andrassy, former Hungarian premier. He asserted, that according to reliable private informa- tion, the longing for peace in France was general.
 Dr. Scheidemann insisted that his remarks, like those of Baron Court ney, could not be interpreted as a sign of lessening strength but were made in view of the fact that the war was bringing Europe to the verge of ruin.
 Endorse ChancelIor's View.
 After Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg had made his reply to the socialist interpolation regarding peace, today, the other parties made a joint declaration approving the chancellor's utterances and endorsing the view that in the conditions of peace made after the war there must be guarantees for Germany's safety, even if this implies annexation of ter ritory.

SOIL MULCH OF IMPORTANCE
Dry Farmer Must Remember That His
Success Depends Upon Degree to
Which He Prevents Waste.

So vitally important is a permanent
soil mulch for the conservation for
plant use of the water stored I'm the
soil that many attempts have been
made to devise means for the effective
cultivation of land on which small
grains and grasses are growing. In
many places plants have been grown
in rows so far apart that mGn with
a hoe could pass between them. SEQ
field has described this method as
practiced successfully in Tunis. Camp
bell and others in America have pro-
posed that drill hole be closed every
three feet to form path wide enough
for a horse to travel in and to pull
large spring-tooth cultivator with
teeth so spaced as to strike between
the rows of wheat. II is yet doubtful
whether. under average conditions,
such careful cultivation, at least of
grain crops, is justified by the returns.
Under conditions of high aridity or
where the store Of soil moisture is low.
ch treatment frequently stands be.
tween crop success and failure, and 1t
is not unlikely that methods will be de-
vised which will permit of the cheap
and rapid cultivation between the rows
of growing wheat. Meanwhile. the
dry farmer must always remember
that the margin under which he works
is small, and that his success depends
upon the degree to which he prevents
small wastes.
The conservation OF soil-moisture
depends upon the vigorous, unremit-
ting, continuous stirring of the topsoil
Cultivation! cultivation! and more cul.
tivation! must be the war cry of the
dry farmer who battles against the
water thieves of an arid climate.

RAISING DRY LAND POTATOES
Best Soil on Farm Should 5e Selected
by Those Who Desire Success
Plow Deep as Possible.

03y A. J. SILcoCK. Oelrichs. S. d.
The man who desires success In
potato raising should select the best
land on his farm for this crop. In the
preparation of the soil, backsetting is
best, II possible. The sod should be
double disked as early as possible in
the spring and narrowed after each
rain as soon as dry enough to handle.
II the weather is favorable, the po-
tatoes should he planted as soon as
possible after the goth of April.
Get good. clean, homegrown seed,
free from scab. / advise some early
variety; the Early Ohio is good. II

have but one eye to a section. When
ready to plant, plow (at least six
inches) and drop the potatoes into

into every fifth furrow or SO that the
rows ars about our feet apart Drop

averaging about fifteen to twenty
inches apart.
III one desires extra fine potatoes,
the ground should be plowed as deep
as possible, and the potato seed GOV.
cred not less than six inches.
AS soon as through planting, the
land should be narrowed, and harrow.
ing should not be neglected after rains
until the potatoes are five or six
inches high. Narrowing should be
done each time in a direction opposite
to the last previous narrowing. After
the potatoes are uU six inches. the
harrow should be discarded and the
cultivator used after deep rain until
the plants are in bloom. The first cul.
tivation should be deep. but subse.
quent civilizations should be as shal.
low as possible to give results-that
is. kill the weeds and keep the mulch.
Civilizations of the ripening plant
should not be so close to the plant
as in early growth.
The cultivator will always leave
some weeds near the plants. These
should be cut out carefully, but the
land should never be 'hilled up" as
the plants do much better with leyeled
land
Potatoes can be produced on sod
land II dropped into the furrow OF the
breaking plow, provided the land is
soft or sandy; but with heavy soil the
land should be broken at least three
inches deep and then chopped up with
disk. After disking it should be
plowed about five inches deep and the
potatoes dropped into the furrow.

EXCESSIVE BLOWING OF SOIL
Subject Of Vital Importance to Many
Farmers-Moving Dirt Acts Much
Like an Auger In Action.

1t is only where there is excessive
blowing of the soil that damage oc-
ours. 1t is well-known fact that II
one can prevent the soil from start
ing on the windward side. the prob.
lem has been solved. When once the
wind begins to move the soil from the
windward side of the field, the moving
dirt acts much like an auger, working
and twisting, loosening and tightening
the soil in front of IL. until the wind
sweeps freely through or across the
field. taking the loosened soil and
leaving the exposed roots to wither
and die.
The movement OF soil is natural.
Both wind and water serve as vehicles
for the continual carrying of dirt from
place to place. II would be quite i'm.
possible to prevent absolutely the
movement of soils. but, II is by no
means an impossIbility to prevent dan.
gerous movement.

club in his sack, one after another.

planned.
