HON. FRANK P. WOODS
FOR A BIGGER navy
Says the Administration was Against
it When Something Could
be Done.

Washington, May 24.-Hon
Frank P. Woods, representing the
Tenth Iowa district in congress anG
chairman of the republican congress.
sional committee, has given an in.
terview to the New York Herald in
which he accuses the administration
of protesting great desire to increase
the navy and build up the national
defense now, when congress is not
in session. He makes it clear that
ne expects, when congress does meet,
that the administration will put the
"soft pedal'' on such legislation, just
as they did last winter.
Mr.. Woods said, 1T seems to me
that the administration is putting
on the appearance Of being strong
for an increase in the navy when
there is no possible chance to obtain
results. Had the administration put
forth the effort for a larger navy
when congress was in session and
considering these matters they
could undoubtedly have obtained
the results they now pretend to
want.
The time to make use of an op-
portunity, in my opinion, is the time
when it is possible to be effective,
not when there is not single
chance.
"The administration reminds me
of persons who are always talking
about swimming when the skating
season is at hand and when the
swimming season rolls around they
talk about skating.
Last winter the naval affairs
committee of the house reported out
a larger building program than u.s.
ual. Congress was ready to put
through that program and enlarge
it as WELL But when the naval ap-
bill came before the
house the efforts of the administra-
ton leaders were utilized in cutting
out of the bill all of the items that
we're not recommended by the secre-
AIRY of the navy.
"The need for a larger navy was
Just as apparent then as now, but
the administration really used it's
influence to keep down naval appro-
)riations. Otherwise more ships
would have been provided. The no.
ion that an adequate navy was es-
'ential to the national defense was
reated as an academic matter.
''In the absence of definite action.
ire the people warranted today in
believing that the administration is
live to the needs of the national de-
ense. as its members say they are,
n must we believe that when con-
,ress meets again next winter the
anne old soft pedal will be put on
lational defense legislation, with
he result that nothing will be
one?"

Growing Weaker.

John Mcfarland, an old settler
who sustained a paralytic stroke
about ten days ago, grows weaker ev-
cry day. Physicians now attending
fear pneumonia may set in and the
end is thought to be near.

look forward to the morrow with the
assurance that no new hardships
are in store for them, knowing that
somehow if they don't get helped to
what they want they can help them
selves. Altogether they seem to be
a happy tribe and appear to be en-
joying life.

SOME FACTS ABOUT
CORN-PLANTING

For grain production, checking
corn feet 6 inches or feet in
ches, with 3 to kernels per hill, is
the method usually followed in Min
nesota, says A. G. Army, Of the Min
nesota College of Agriculture. Check
ing the corn permits cultivation both
ways and gives a better opportunity
to keep it free from weeds than does
drilled corn. When the soil is ex-
ceptionally free from weeds, the corn
may be drilled to advantage and the
plants should be from IL to IA inches
apart in the row.
For silage, or for bundle-corn to be
fed without husking, plant every 6
or 8 inches in the row, either check
ed or drilled, will produce a larger
yield and better quality than thinner
planting.
From 1 to 2 inches is good depth
to plant if the soil is moist. If there
is no moisture within inches Of the
surface, the corn must be planted
deeper When the season is late and
the soil still somewhat wet and cold,
planting not more than 1 to u in
ches deep is important: The deeper
corn is planted the longer the time
needed to reach the surface, which
means that the growing season will
be shortened. The probability that
some plants will not be able to reach
the surface is increased by planting
unnecessarily deep. The corn plants
cannot be made to root lower in the
soil by deep planting. The perma-
nent roots are developed about the
same depth whether the corn is
planted 2 or inches deep.

ACID IN STOMACH
SOuRS THE FOOD
Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid
is Cause of Indigestion.

"A well.known authority states that
stomach: trouble and indigestion is near
ly always due to acidity-acids stomach
s-aad not, as most folks believe, from
a lack of digestive juices. He states
that an excess of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach-retards digestion and starts
food fermentation, then our meals sour
like garbage in can,, forming acrid
fluids and, gases which initiate the
stomach like a toy balloon. We then
get that heavy, lumpy' feeling in the
chest, we eructate' sour food belch gas,
or have heartburn, hatulence; water
brash, or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any pharmacy
four ounces Of Jad: Salts and take a
tablespoonful in glass of water before
breakfast while it, is effervescing, and
furthermore, to continue this for one
week. While relief follows the: first
dose,4 it is important to-. neutralize the
acidity, remove. the gas-making: mass,
start the liver, stimulate the kidneys
and thus promote free flow of pure
digestive juices.
Jada Salts is inexpensive and is made
. from the acid Of: grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate. This harmless salts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results,

One week from today will be Min
nesota's natal day. On May II,
1858, territorial habiliments were
laid aside, and the garments of state
hood were donned. This was pursu-
ant to the signing of an enabling act
by President Franklin Pierce grant
ing the privileges of statehood after
a constitution had been framed. The
territorial government for Minnesota
was established at st. Paul, June 1,
1S49, after congress had given such
authority. Although much opposition
presented itself from time to time,
St. Paul has continued to be the
capitol The most strenuous efforts
to wrestle this honor away and give
it to St. Peter was made at the first
session of the state legislature.

Now Among the Leaders.

Until recent years little was heard
of Minnesota in connection with the
production of corn, but Of late it has
forged to the front until it now must
be considered as one Of the leading
corn states Of the great American
Corn Belt.
In 1890 there were only 76S,OOO
acres of corn raised in Minnesota
Ten years later but 5000 acres had
been added. In 1910 there were L.
724,000 acres. Then came the for
ward movement. In 1914 over g.
100000 acres were raised, and A. D.
Wilson, superintendent of farmers
Institutes, says that the 1915 crop
will push the 100000 acres mark
hard.
Not only in acreage but in bushels
per acre does Minnesota excel. Two
years ago Minnesota astounded the
country by tying for first with forty
bushels per acre. Last year she was
close to the top.
These authentic figures place Min
nesota far ahead of any other state
in the same latitude, and we'll up
among the states along her southern
border. If an average of 35 bushels
is obtained from 100000 acres this
year, the total crop placed in bushel
baskets would girdle the earth one
and half times
Local corn shows, the immigration
Of tens Of thousands of farmers from
the middle Corn Belt, the instruction
Of short courses and Institutes, the
attention paid corn growing in the
schools, the educational campaign
conducted by farm papers and news
papers-these and many other fac
tors have made Minnesota real corn
state.
Most persons, however, believe that
the boys corn contest movement
merits large share of the credit.
Nearly 5000 boys, including several
from Beltrami county, are competing
this year. The corn shown in the
boys corn class at the Minnesota
State Fair, September to II, is ex-
pected to be greater in amount than
all other classes: Recent govern
ment statistics show that Minnesota
leads! the states in large yields per
acre, 710 boys having grown at least
sixty bushels. The state second in
rank is Iowa with only 1855.
The immense corn crop is making
a great livestock state out of Mime
sofa, for there most be more hogs
and cattle to eat itsup. Livestock, in
turn, is encouraging balanced farm
ing and helping to prevent a waste
offsoil fertility. All hail King Corn!

YOUNG SOCIETY MATRON
LAYS DOWN RULES

In discussing the approaching So
cial season, young matrOn says that
the success of every event, whether
in home, church or Club, depends
upon the foresight of the women
months before. ~
The brilliancy, charm and success
of party is dependent upon the
physical condition of the hostess. She
cannot be entertaining, witty or
clever, if she is loaded down with all
the complaints woman is heir to-;
and very few are free from the func-
tional troubles which bring with
them dizziness, backache, sick head
ache, sleeplessness and intense ner-
vousness.
Thousands upon thousands of
mothers, wives and daughters in ev-
cry section of this great country, who
have regained health, vigor and
cheerful disposition after months of
misery and even despair are the ones
who truly appreciate the marvellous
restorative power of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. .
Every woman who has reason to
believe that backache, headache, un-
natural pains, low spirits, sleepless
nights, irregularities or a catarrhal
condition is caused by arrangement
of the womanly functions, owes it
to herself and dear ones to speedily
overcome the trouble before a gen
eral breakdown causes permanent
prostration.
