Doubt U-Boat Sank Hesperian.

Persons in a position to speak with
authority assert positively the convic-
tion that the steamship Hesperian was
not torpedoed by German submarine;
at least, under the conditions thus de-
scribed.
The assumption that the Hesperian
was sunk by a German submarine IA
met with ever increasing doubt in Off
cial circles. Although authorized
quoted comment is withheld for the
time, the postiveness Of the opinions
expressed informally by individuals

tative information is noteworthy. In
these quarters il is believed the Hes

Lecturer National Farmers Union

A broad campaign of publicity or
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blaZoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles o. the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in.
vestigation into the needs of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un.
derstood and Illuminated by the pow
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in
huences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO
operation Of the farmers to fully de
veIop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without it. The local paper
is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. 1t is the local press that will
study the local problems and through
It's columns deal with subjects of most
vital Importance to local life of the
community.

A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by CIV
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform it's mission
to agriculture by recording the fraiL
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am.
billions of humanity, or by filling its
columns with the echoes of the strug'
giles of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure ou1
children from the farm.
1t has a higher and nobler task
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames of personal
conflict scar the tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the path.
way to destruction. The rural press
is the governing power of public senti
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of state
N the roadstead OF prOgres$ The
rural press can best serve the inter
ests of the farmers by applying ite
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. It
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before it a thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems OF
civilization at their fountain head Its
mission is to direct growth, teach eff
f1ciency and mold the intellectual life
of the country, placing before the pub
lie the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg.

UPPER BERTH LAW IN COURT
Question of ConstitutIonaIity of Act
Carried to Washington.

The constitutionality of the WiscOn-
sin upper berth law will be argued in
the United States supreme court the
latter part of this month. The law
requires the upper berth to be kept
closed until engaged or occupied, when
the lower berth is being used. This
law was declared unconstitutional in
circuit court, but was sustained by the
state supreme court The Milwaukee
road Immediately appealed the case
to the United States supreme court,
contending that the act is an unlawful
delegation of police power and that it
is confscatory of the railroads prop

APPEAL FROM PROBATE
 WITHDRAWN FROM COURT.
Mrs. Annie Edwards Will Left All to

The appeal from probate of the, will of Mrs. Annie Edwards late of Water ford, has been withdrawn without costs in the superior court.

H., a brother of Mrs. Edwards, who claimed that the instrument dated August 21. r, 1912, was not the last will an ] testament of the deceased, who by this alleged will left all her property to Dr. G.
