White Bear Interested
I'm War Situation

Chief White Bear and his friend
Sam Nampo were in from the reser-
walton Tuesday, and called at The
Republican office. White Bear took
the visitors seat in the sanctum, and
Sam sat on the bookkeeper's desk,
and let his legs hang over.
White Bear said: "My friend, !
am back iagain to ask about the
world. How do they talk and what
do they do, east, west, north, south ;
old country, Japan, Mexico, the gov
eminent, what they all doing now?"
Ye editor explained briefly about
the big fight last week where the
Germans drove the Russians out of
great forts and new trenches were
dug in other fields way back. White
Bear with many gesticulations ex-
planned it to Sam Nampo, and Sam
nodded.
White Bear then asked what the
government is saying to Germany
about the people in the water when
the big boat sank. We told him as
best we could about the exchange of
notes, and closed with, Germany
says maby, quit sinking ships that
way, maby not" White Bear was
much concerned and told it to Sam
who received it with nod and a
grunt as If 1t we're satisfactory to
him. We then explained about Italy
and he told it to Sam. We reviewed
the conditions in Mexico with their
lack of crops and their hungry
women and children and the presi-
dents letter telling them to quit
fighting and go to work. White Bear
asked about japan and Mexico fight
ing, and we took a guess and told
him there was nothing likely to hap
pen. We told him about the sunken
submarine that has been raised at
Honolulu, and then he asked again
about the people in the water in the
east and asked what the government
is going to do if more people get

Coroner's Ancient Nuisances,

Somebody invented coroners three
centuries before Columbus discov-
cred America. It was a job of much
distinction and there were no fees at
tached, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
But even when Oliver Cromwell was
lad, folks in England began to abuse
coroners and call them grafters, or
whatever it was they called folks in
that day who got something for moth
ing. And Blackstone, whose name is
often used as a synonym for common
law, declared that coroners were not
only an unnecessary nuisance but that
they often stood in the way Of justice.
Several states are now trying to
abolish coroners, but progress is slow.
If it were as easy to eradicate an old
Office as a new one, fear no coroner
would survive the slaughter. When
I asked an eminent Judge what cor
oners are good for, his reply was:
ITO draw salaries"

HOW TO PREPARE BORDEAUX
"A Few Suggestions in Regard to Its
Proper Mixing-Formula Most in
Use at Present Time.

AS bordeaux is probably the most
used fungicide at present, few sug-
gestions in regard to it's proper mix
ing will not be out of place. The for
mula most in use at present is four
pounds OF copper suiphate (blue Wit
rioD four pounds OF good lime and
DO gallons OF water. The granulated
form OF copper sulphate should be
used, and only well-burned lime which
is not air slaked should be used Be
sure to use lime enough. II lime IS
poor or ii there is any fear OF Dor.
deaux injury to the fruit add another
pound OF lime.
The lime and copper sulphate should
be prepared in different receptacles,
preferably halt barrels. The copper
sulphate should be held in sack at
the top of the half barrel and allowed
to dissolve. Never put the copper
sulphate in the bottom OF the barrel.
When shaking the lime add the water
a little at time so as not to kill the
heat from the lime. When the slak-
ing is completed and when the copper
sulphate is all dissolved and both mix
lures have been brought up to rs
gallons, they may be put together
after thorough mixing. Be sure to
pour the copper sulphate into the lime,
which has previously been put into a
mixing barrel or the spray pump. Do
not pour the lime into the copper sui
phate, as the mixture obtained is not
good bordeaux and will oftentimes do
injury instead of being beneficial.

might not get any more sugar beet
seed of Germany if that happened.
White Bear then exhibited a letter
from man in Montana saying that
he had found him to be noble men,
Der of a noble race, a peacemaker
and the friend of all good people.
White Bear said he had been in Mon
tana many times and had lots of
friends there. That he lived in this
country when he was a little boy,
and remembered many wagons COM
ing through with cattle and mules to
pull them along. He remembered
many poor white people coming along
the roads who were so poor they had
to eat the Injuns' game. Some went
west and some went north, and they
came from the east. They kept COM
ing from everywhere, and it got so
they had no game left. A long time
White Bear did very well but now he
is "bloke." On the reservation Tom
Lazier is the big man. He tell Injul
all about horses; all about cattle! all
about fields; all about everything,
when to have fun; when to work;
when to work fast; when to work
slow; when to have big feed; when
not to dance. Tom Lazier know

What Sank the
sSLusitania''

less powder. Exactly the same thing
happened as in the case of the Maine,
but on larger and more destructive
scale. The decks of this great ship
lying above her magazine were torn
loose from the hull, lifted high in
air and rolled back, upside down,
upon the after part of the ship.
If the cargo of ammunition carried
by the "Lusitania" had been set off
by the torpedo which struck her
similar results would have followed.
The enormous expansive force of the
gases of the explosion would have
blown out the side of the ship above
the waterline and torn open her decks
above, folding them back upon them
selves Did any such destruction
occur? Was there any evidence what
soever of such an explosion? The
vkty Nact that the ship remained
af1oat as long as she did proves that
nothing of the kind happened, and
that the ammunition in ner hold had
no part in the sinking of the ship.
So enormous is the charge of ex-
plosive carried by the submarine
torpedo of the Germans that the sin
gle torpedo which struck her not only
tore a vast opening in the outer skin
of the ship, but the descriptive effects
of the gases let loose under high pres
sure within her hull structure were
sufficient to wreck the inner wall of
the side bunkers and produce an i'm
mediate and enormous thrush of wat
er. besides loosening up the frames
and bulkheading in the neighborhood
of the explosion to such an extent
that less than half an hour was suf-
ficient to put the great ship below
the surface.
A battleship not only carries a
heavy watertight protective deck, but
the underwater portion of the ship
below this deck is divided and sub
divided transversely and longitude
nally until she contains, as we have
said, over $50 separate watertight
compartments, big and little.
The Lusitania contained below the
waterline only "a such compartments
and this was all that could be con-
veniently accommodated within a
ship whose primary purpose was for
the uses of commerce and not to face
the perils of modern submarine war;
fare. Since she was designed the
explosive charge in the warheads of
torpedoes, at least of those used on
submarines, has been more than
doubled. The commander of the
German submarine, when he dis
charged his torpedo at point-blank
range and saw it strike home, knew
that the Lusitania would probably go
down fast and long before her help
less passenger could take to the
boats. This was expected and so in
tended by the imperial German ad-
miralty.- Scientific American.

(The following article may be OF
interest to our readers in explana-
ton of just what happens to a big
boat when it is torpedoed.)
In its endeavor to becloud the is
sue, official Germany has claimed
that the ammunition carried by the
Lusitania contributed largely to the
swift sinking of that great ship.
Now this is technical question,
and to anyone who is technically
qualified to Judge the matter, the ex-
PLANTATION offered is, on the face of it,
absurd.
This war has proved over and over
again that one submarine torpedo of
the German type, carrying 42O
pounds of high explosive, is sufficient
to sink warship-even battleship
which, exclusive of the double bot
tom deck, is divided into no less than
$50 separate watertight compart-
ments, big and small.
The question of the length of time
ship fully subdivided will remain
afioat after being torpedoed, depends
largely upon where the blow gets
home. In the case of a ba.tleship,
especially a thoroughly modern ship
like the "Audacious," the blow of a
mine or torpedo, in addition to the
local damage, may so badly shake
up and loosen her internal structure,
that gradual seepaSe of water will
occur through the bulkheads, and she
will eventually sink severa. hours
after the attack. But should the
the blow strike in the region of a
magazine, as in the case of the Rus
sian "Petropavlovsh" and the Jap
anese "Hatsuse," the explosion of the
torpedo warhead may instantly be
succeeded by the far greater explo-
sion of the whole magazine, and the
ship, no matter what her size, will
go down in two or three minutes
time.
Now the fact that the Lusitania re-
manned afloat 18 or 20 minutes after
being torpedoed completely disproves
the assertion of the Germans that
her cargo of ammunition exploded
and nobody knows this so perfectly
we'll as Adnnra Won Tirpitz himself
anG the subordinate in command Of
the submarine which sank the ship.
To be convinced of this, let us con-
slider the case of two warships in
which the ammunition exploded, and
see what happened. In the case of
te U. S. S. Maine" when the flame
and shock of the mine which con-
tributed to her swift sinking reached
the forward magazines, they explod-
ed AMI the enormous force of the
gases lifted her forward deck and
roll"d it back upon the after part of
the ship just as one would turn the
leaf of book. Again, take the case
of the French battle ship "Liberte, :"
whose forward magazine exploded
through deterioration of her smoke

Renefits of Wide Tires.

On the common earth roads and in
the fields horses can on an average
pull 80 per cent more load on wide
tired wagon than one with narrow
tires. In other words, two horses can
pull as much load on the wide tires
as three can on narrow-tired wagon.
The wide tires help pack the road,
the narrow tires cut ruts.

Now is the time for tipping black
raspberry plants If you want to raise
new plants. AS the new growth bends
over the ground, each tip should be
buried in the soil few inches and

upon it. Next spring the tips will have
roots, when the plants can be cut of
from the parent bushes and planted
wherever they are wanted.
