SHOULD GERMANY HOLD
 OUT HAND FOR PEACE?
Only Possible When Enemies Realize They Are Defeat
 ed, Says Von Payer.

Berlin, Dec. 8, by Wireless to Say tion of the progressive peoples party the president, Friedrich Won Payer, a member of the Reichstag, raised the question whether Germany, "being the stronger and having won the vic- tory, ought to hold out her hand for Ieace.'' Herr Won Payer replied to bis own question by asserting that this would be possible only when the enemies of Germany realized that they mad been defeated as they had not thus far.
 The world did not understand this, he continued, believing the German military or annexationist party was opposed to peace at the present time, desiring to carry on the war to a further stage.
 The political situation, the president sa id, was best illustrated by the fact that the British were pointing to the successes of German diplomacy, as entrusted with their. own failures.
 The increase in food prices in Germany are not surprising, he said, since there had been a similar advance in all other European countries, in- ciuding the neutrals.
 Germany's financial condition Herr Won Payer said, was exceedingly satisfactory. 1t had become apparent during the war that England. was poorer and Germany richer than the world had believed.

 Today.

Flax on Sod

Flax is a crop which has al.
ways been raised on sod in pio.
neer farming countries and has
moved westward from one Sec
ton to another until it has reach
ed Montana. A sod crop of any
kind is somewhat of a gamble
that the season will be wet.
However. the average rainfall of
the Montana May, June and July
is sufficient to produce from eight
to ten bushels Of flax. providing
hot winds and hail are absent.
One characteristic Of the flax
plant, which particularly adapts
it to sod, is its coarse. penetrat-
ing root system. 1t also produces
a crop in a short time, which al
lows it to be sown late in the
season. Clay soils with native
turf of Buffalo or wheat grass are
best adapted to flax. Light sandy
soils do not produce the best flax
crops.
A profitable yield of flax on sod
will depend upon three things:-
ID Season with sufficient rain
fall and absence Of hot winds.

ED. McCRAvy HAS CLOSE CALL.
Knocked Down by Train, Escapes
With Loss of Toes.

Easley, July ZEE. p. ,McCravy
narrowly escaped death here at an
early hour this morning when he was
knocked down and badly bruised by
westbound passenger train No. 20.
lie sustained several small cuts and
bruises on various parts of the body,
caused by the coarse gravel upon
which he fell, and three toes on his
left foot were badly mashed by the
engine wheels. Physicians gave the
injured man immediate attention and
he is now resting quietly. He was
taken to hotel and later removed
to his home.
The accident occurred at the rail-
road crossing just at the west end Of
the passenger station, and as two
passenger trains were expected within
a few minutes quite a crowd had col
lected at the depot. There was a
freight train directly in front of the
passenger station, headed west and
Just clearing the crossing in f-0-t of
the engine. Mr.. McCravy wa .al6-
ing to some friends at the static a.d
when he had finished his or,.raA.
ton with them started across The
track in front Of the freight engine,
which was standing still. Mr.. Nc
Gravy had passed the sidetrack on
which the freight train was, and upon
reaching the center of the main line
he saw the passe Eer train only few
feet away. Several who saw the
accident say that he started across,
hesitated, started backward and fell
At the same instant the cowcatcher
struck him. 1t appeared to the on
lockers as though Mr.. McCravy's
body had fallen directly across the
rail, but he fell with lunge forward,
which cleared his body. The engine
or cOwcatcher struck his legs and
slid them up the track, only three
toes on the left foot being mangled.
In another second he had regained his
footing and dashed from the tracks
into crowd of his friends who were
rushing to his relief. He was placed
in an automobile and carried to the
hotel just across the street from the
station.
