The order of Secretary Danials
making the navy yards and the ships
oil the navy dry territory, is well re-
membered. The canteen was oustcd
from the army camps several years
ago. 1t has for years been a serious
oifense to sell liquor to an Indian who
IS Il government ward, and the sale
OF liquor on Indian reservations is
forbidden by act of congress. In the
soldiers home maintained by the gov
eminent the sale of liquor is pro
hibited
Congress long ago stopped the sale
oil liquor to the capitol and the senate
and house office buildings. The Sec
rotary of the treasury, in ousting the
Grand hotel from government property
IN Washington because of the manner
IN which the bar was conducted, has
gone further and has said that the
government never again will lease
this valuable property to any one for
the purpose of selling liquor there in.
England today is considering the
adoption of prohibition as a means of
obtaining efficient service from the
thousands of employees of the great
shlpyards of that country and the
other establishments which are en-
gagged in rush orders occasioned by
the war.
Even General Francisco Villa has
issued an order prohibiting the sale
of liquor in territory controlled bv
him, with the exception of Juarez,
where many Americans live or visit.
Canada is establishing prohibitions in
many localities.

DIPLOMATIC JOKES.
Oh. M. S. in the Richmond Evening
journal

Oh. M. S. in the Richmond Evening
Never, since a great American hui
morist offered call his wife's male re.
ilations" to the recruiting officer, has
has there been such an exhibition of
patriotic abregation as that DISPLAYED
the other day by Won Beulow when,
acting for Germany, he offered large
slices of Austrian territory" as the
reward of Italy's continued neutrali-
ty.
And to illustrate the gravity that
doth hedge" the high functions of
diplomatic interchange, no irreverent
guftaws met the proposition-not ev-
ell Il smile; and the full violence of the
international joke was apparently un-
perceived by the Italian diplomats
(who had settled tire case some
months aPo.)
This is not the only international
joke stagein Rome since that CITY has
become modern enough to appdeciate
the grotcsque. Some years ago that
ancient capitol was agitated by a
much heralded visit from an Ameri-
can citizen who had about as much
authority to speak for the United
States rs had Beulow to speak for
.huSIiia. CNluenliy Impressed by the
impressive visitor, His Holiness, the
Pope, had the musty archives of the
Vatican ransacked for presidents to
guide him in the formalities.
The great visitor even if, as re-
ported, he were no longer president of
the western republic, had RETAINED
full control of its spiritual destiniers"
and so with all the pomp and genufiec-
ton of the court the ceremony was
carried through and the joke was not
altogether on the Colonel.
| am constrained to recall these hap
penings largely for the reason that SO
few things have happened since Au-
gust that have any parallel in the
past that | am quite sure you readers
will thank me for reminding them
that the diplomatic farce enacted last
week has had at least precedent for
an apology.
1t is important to remember that
the German "emissary" disclaims any
authority from Austria but relies on
the Kaiser's influence with the En-
peror.

HOW MANY SWEET POTATO
PLANTS PER ACRE?
A reader says:

A reader says:
II want to plant an acre in sweet
potatoes. How many plants will it
take?"
1t depends upon how thick they are
set out. In rows three feet apart,
and plants about twenty inches apart
in the raw, an acre will require about
$500 plants. This is a matter of
arithmetic, and can easily be counted.
From potatoes bedded, if they do well,
a bushel will furnish about 1000
strong plants. We would not advise
our friends to plant TN acre in his
heavy clay land. A high soil with
some sand is necessary for good sweet
potatoes. There are a number of diff
ferent varieties, all good, but some
better adapted to certain localities
than others.

Preliminary estimates place the &C

Ex-President Elliot, of Harvard,
has declared that the existence of the
war proves the failure of Chris
tianity.-Times Dispatch.
President Elliot's utterances about
Christianity should command some at
tention only and solely because of his
literary ability and reputation as a
scholar. A man who doesn't believe
in the Divinity of Jesus of Nazareth
may know something about Chris
tianity, but can know nothing
lutely nothing of Christianity.

PLANTING TOO EARLY.

Should the weather continue as
warm as for the past few days, the
temptation will be to plant corn, and
in all probability the land will not be
in good condition.
Better not hurry to plant. Work the
ground in best condition possible, and
wait until the soil gets warm and nice
and all danger of frost has passed
AS rule carly planting is best pro-
vided the land is in proper shape, and
the weather settled but not other
wise.
