COUNCIL ORDERS BRICK PAVING
ON NORTH A FROM 5 TO IS STREET

BY a vote of eleven to one council
last night passed an ordinance, pend
ing for over month, providing for
the paving Of North A street from
Fifth street to Sixteenth street. Quite
a large number of property owners
attended the meeting, but made no
statements.
Ordinances for the paving of North
Fifth street from Main to North A,
the paving of Sixth street from South
A to Fort Wayne avenue, and the paw
ing of South A street from Fifth to
Sixteenth, were introduced but to ex-
pedite the carrying out of the perma-
nent street improvement program all
three ordinances were given their first
and second readings last night on a
motion made by Councilman O'Neal
Ask for Bids.
The board of public works will now
advertise at once for bids for the paw
ing Of North A street and the work
of construction will probably start
about the last of May. The almost
unanimous support given the ordi
nance for the paving OF these streets is
taken to indicate that council will
pass all permanent street improve
ment ordinances which have been and
which are expected to be referred tc
it. Councilman John White was the
only one to oppose the North A street
ordinance.

PLEASED
At AMERICAN Note

LONDON, April Equalization of
the United States note of protest
against the British order in council de-
claring blockade of Germany has re-
lieved a tension that has been ap-
parent ever since England and France
adopted retaliatory measures against
Germany.
It is now possible to state that it
was feared in England that the United
States would make demands much
more drastic in their nature. British
officials and the press accepted the
American communication as a friend
ly proposition: The friendly tone OF
the American note is acclaimed by the
London press. The Times, after an
alyzing, declares the note supports the
attitude Of the British government.

/ Two important new health measures
were adopted by the Commercial club
public health committee last night at
the suggestion Of DR.. David w. Dem
mis-. He will conduct campaigns for
both measures and will write a series
of short articles, which will be pub
lished by the newspapers.
The first ts to have all wells In the
city closed. and to prevent drinking

east Of the city.
Open Wells q Menace.
open wells are q fearful menace, :"
DR.. Dennis declared. Few realize this,
but have studied the methods of the
government In purifying the Panama
zone, and found that the first stipu-
lation was to stop the residents from
drinking from open water sources.
The water sheds from which the Pana-
ma water supply Is received is un.
inhabited to prevent any chance OF
contamination with colon bacilli.
"Richmond's death rate from ty.
phoid fever last year was seventy-five
times greater than that of Panama. In
this city, there were thirty-one deaths
from typhoid fever, and many other
cases which resulted seriously fol

EXAMINE; CORN SEED
TO- GAIN BIG CROP
WHEN AUTUMN COMES
100000 Bushels Needed to
Plant Acreage and Assure
Indiana Farmers First
Class Stand.

Much seed corn on Indiana farms
is bad. To secure the necessary seed,
which amounts to more than eight
hundred thousand bushels, and which
will terminate in strange way CIV
ing first-class stand, will require &C
tive work on the part of Indiana corn
growers.
In response to the query. What Is
the Condition of Your, Seed Corn?"
recently sent out by Prof. G. I. Chris
ito of Purdue Agricultural extension
department., many hundreds of farm
ers have examined their seed and have
found from two to ten ears in every
hundred dead or so low in vitality that
they are not fit for seed. Exhibits of
corn at many shows have also shown
low vitality. The hard freezes of the
early winter caught many ears con-
tanning too much moisture. The time
required to eliminate these dead or
weak ears will be we'll spent and will
show great returns in crops.
Crop Depends on Seed.
This last season barren stalks IN
Indiana corn fields ranged from five
to thirty per cent. All barren stalks
may not be the result of any one fac
tor, but it is felt that they are due
in large part to the planting of weak
seed. These barren stalks furnish
pollen to fertilize the grains on good
ears which are used for the next year
and which, if conditions are at all
favorable, reproduce barren stalks
Therefore, the planting of high-class
seed not only insures a good stand
but ia insures higher percent of ear
bearing stalks. It is estimated that
about fourteen ears of corn are re
quired to plant an acre. With a good
average of seventy bushels. the seed
from each ear will produce five bush
els in the fall. Estimating corn at
80 cents, the product is worth $3.50
When an ear of corn means so much
farmers can afford to give the neces
sary time to terminate every individ
ual ear. A little time and care nov
will mean many thousands Of bushels
of corn on Indiana farms next year
