CRANE ADVOCATES
 WORLD FEDERATION TO MAINTAIN PEACE
Large Audience at Y. M. c. A. Lecture Endorses His
 Views By Rising Vote

Several hundred men attended the forceful lecture on war and the U. s. given by pr. Frank Crane, a New York editorial writer, at the Plaza theater yesterday afternoon. The lecture was under the auspices of the Y M c. A.
 Dr. Crane declared that peace movements could do no good while nations continued to prepare for war and throughout his talk dealt harshly= with present methods Of treaty mak- ing and arbitration. He advocated a world federation for peace, saying that the nations of the world should be bound together under a common code and that any nation that became belligerent should be brought before a. court as individuals are. The arm ies and navies of the present would become the international police Of the future. Every man in the au- dience expressed himself in favor of the lecturers plan by rising when a standing vote was taken.
 There was a full musical program. Mrs. Ethel Poland HubbeH sang two numbers very delightfully."-, accompan- jed fby H. H. Cutler on the piano.

tunities for fraudulent voting In the
absent voting system, Investigations
OF its working in states that have
tried 1t have disclosed no evidence
that fraud has really been practiced.
The states have SO safeguarded this
privilege that the opportunities for
abusing 1t are not much, II any, great
er than the opportunities for abusing
the regular suffrage right. A more
patent objection, as the writer's on
the subject view It, is that the canvas
sers can know for whom the absent
voter votes. On this account some of
the laws include provisions which
bind the canvassers not to disclose
the information they thus acquire, or
use It in prejudice to the interests OF
the voter.
The advantages are those OF simple
Justice. When to remain at home to
vote means loss OF time, loss Of money,
loss Of business, or to return home to
vote means an expenditure OF money
and loss OF time and business, the
travelling voter cannot have the priv
jage OF suffrage on an equal basis
with the man whose business permits
him to be at home. The absent vot-
ing system, merely allows several
thousand men to cast their ballots at
no greater expense or Inconvenience
than the great majority OF the voters
have.

January, and now we see that there
are strong physical reasons for doing
this. If the operatives of a factory
or people engaged in any kind OF
work, are to be speeded up, the time
to do it is when nature lends her
aid. To speed up in February Is ana
LOCUS to whipping tired horse ana
expecting him to win race. Later
in the year, however, during the
spring. and especially during May and
early June, people may be pushed TO
the limit and will not suffer, because
their energies are naturally increas-
ing. This is still more the case In
October and early November. After
the middle of November pressure may
produce important results, as We see
at Christmas. Nevertheless, the
chances are that if the pressure Is
continued straight through the winter
it exhausts people to an undue de-
gree. 1t may be that a considerable
part of the nervousness of Americans
is due to the fact that, although we
relax during the summer, even IN
years when we do not greatly need
it, we keep ourselves at high PRESSURE
right through the winter. when the
need OF relaxation is much greater.

WINTER VACATIONS BEST

Writing of the effect of weather
and climate upon work in Harper's
magazine for January, Ellsworth Hunt
ington brings out some interesting
facts in regard TO vacations.
1--WE have an idea that people need
vacations in summer, but apparently
the need is much greater in January
and February. OF course, there are
strong arguments for taking vacations
IN summer. since that is the time
when it is pleasant to be out of doors,
whereas during the winter the major
ity of people have no means Of en-

GRADE CORN FIRST
DEPARTMENT URGES
This Should Be Done Before Smelling.
According to Bureau Of Agri-
culture.

Seed corn may be graded better be-
fore the ears are shelled than after
wards, says new bulletin OF the de-
partment of agriculture just received
here. The departments specialists in.
corn investigations consider it diff
cult to grade shelled corn satisfac-
torily.
If the seed ears vary greatly as to
size Of kernel, says the bulletin, they
should be separated into two or three
grades according to size Of kernel.
These grades should be shellad sepa-
rately. tested in the corn planter and
numbered to correspond with the
number on the planter plates that arc
found to drop them uniformly, Is the
advice to the farmer. These arrange
ments can be completed before the
rush OF spring work begins.
The first operation in properly
Smelling seed corn is the removal of
the small kernels from the tips Of the
ears and the round, thick kernels from
the butts. The former are less pro-
ductive than the other kernels of the
car. The round butt kernels are as
productive as the other kernels of the
ear. but do not plant uniformly in
planter.
Smelling seed corn carefully by
hand Is profitable. The greater the
acreage planted the greater the profit
Into a shallow pan or box each ear
should be shelled separately, reject
ing any worm-eaten Or blemished kerr
nels. If the supply from the onss ear
appears good and contains no poor
kernels, It is poured into the general
supply and another ear shelled In the
same way.

GUESTS OF SLEEP.
Sleep at the Inn O. Dreams
A kindly host he waits,
And all night long a goodly throng
Comes softly through his gates.
A varied company
Scholar and clown and king,
Or prince or priest, Or great or least,
He gives them welcoming.
For each he fills the cup
Where poppy petals swim,
Wherefrom each guest at his behest,
Drinks deeply, toasting him.
And old men drink of youth,
And sad men of delight,
And weary men drink deep again
The pulsing wine OF might.
And poets drink of song, IL
But best and oh, most sweet,
Above that brim where peoples swim
The lips of lovers meet.
Sleep at the Inn O. Dreams
A kindly host he waits,
And ali night long goodly throng
Comes softly through his gates.

These contributions, while encouraged

No phase Of the changes in the
election laws to be proposed in the
next general assembly will likely
command greater interest on the part
of the large body of Iowa travelling
men than the proposal to permit ab-
sent voting. The law was Endorsed at
the U. C. T. convention here last June.
To provide some means by which
commercial travellers, students and
other classes Of citizens whose duties
take them away from their legal
place of residence on election day
may cast their ballots at the most
convenient polling plaee-that is the
aim OF the absent voting system.
investigators interested IN this
matter made careful survey Of the
condition in several precincts OF CO.
lumbus, o.. in 1918. It was found
that 10 percent Of the voters In two
respectable precincts did not vote on
account of being compelled to be
away from home on election day. Or
those who had registered and did not
vote 1t was found that absence was
the cause of the failure of 20 per-
cent in one precinct and Of 100 per-
cent In another, while absence was
the responsible cause for 10 percent
or those who failed in one poorer pre-
cinct and 20 percent in another.
