While the coast States of the Union
are more fortunate in having the differ

nevertheless modern methods OF preserv-
ing and packing shellhsh enable the peo-
pie of the interior OF the country to Join
in the "Shellfish Day" movement by par
taking of their favorite shellfish on this
day as we'll as those living in the sea-
board States.
The growing scarcity and ADVANCING

OF conservation and development of natu-
raj resources. the problem OF increasing

OCTOBER WAS ideal

greater than forecast from the October
condition report. The estimated grand
total of 1901. 600, 900 bushels approaches
within 100000 bushels OF the record
crop Of 1912, though the estimated yield
per acre of 2S.3 bushels has been three
times surpassed in the last ten years.
The record production OF small grains
this season was generally of plump.

PRESIDENT HOLDS UP
REPORTS OF CABINET
They Will Not Be Made Public Until
He Addresses Congress-Iime-
konored Rule Reversed.

President Wilson has ordered that all
rcports OF Cabinet officers and chiefs OF
bureaus be withheld from publication
until he has read his annual message IN
Congress. This order is contrary to a
time-honored custom with regard to an
nual reports of department heads and
bureau chiefs. It has been the practice
to make public the bureau reports ana
then the reports of cabinet officers in ad-
vance Of the converting OF Congress and
the delivery OF the Presidents message.
The opinion has been that there was
better opportunity and more time Tor
presenting to the country these reviews
Of the years activities of the various
branches OF the government before the
converting Of Congress than during the
rush that always follows the assembling
Of the House and Senate. Department off,

ness OF the situation. together with the
continuing losses on both sides. may
force a compromise.
1T is fairly easy to know what France

then. in common with nearly everybody
else in the world, the Independence of

England and Germany want. One says.
We must have the freedom of the seas;
the other says, We must destroy Ger

phrases. would help TO clarity all minds.

a workable peace. The belligerents may
all declare that they will fight to the last
man, but a good many millions OF per-

But let us not feel that we must
imagine the thing called a durable
peace There Is great danger in that
term unless We are willing to set up at

is no such thing as a durable peace
among nations. II either party to this

daily. She yearns for peace. But the
allies will not discuss peace yet.
When our army chiefs, in whose hands
we placed the finest soldiers in the world.
have placed US in q situation wherein We
can talk peace. we shall see that the
situation has changed. 1t will be differ
ent from the day the Kaiser threw him.

revealed in depreciation and assassination.
But We are still far from that sit
uation Germanys offensive IN France
was definitely checked on the User. On
the other hand while losing ground, the
Germans have been able to resist French
and British efforts to break their line.
They have also checked the magnificent
progress of the Russians and have them
thrown back on Dvinsk and Riga They
have crossed the Danube through Bulgar-
ian treason. Now they announce that
they are about TO march on Constan-
tinopIe. Roumania is asking herself II
this even interests her. The Greek
government while ostensibly working for
Bulgarian success is expressing words Of
friendship for US which makes US shrus
our shoulders.
Underhand Dealing in Balkans.
Remember all this underhand dealing
in the Balkans Is solely due TO the in
glorious sentiment Of the peoples who
wanted war only II there are no risks.
They will take up arms only to help VIC
torious armies. The piteous spectacle OF
governments lacking In a sense OF dig
nifty is due to the fact that their rulers
with trembling hearts believe In Ger

They are not ignorant Of the fact that
such victory would mean their ultimate
defeat. They hope II they show sufti-

We will talk peace when we have huri-

French feet on German soil. Peace VIII
