AS this treaty plan was offered to

Government would gladly enter into
treaties with Germany, Austri and

treaties would silence the lingo press

The preparedness which is now
being advocated not only cultivates
the spirit that leads to war but it in
wolves an expenditure which the people
will not submit to unless convinced
that some nation is getting ready to
attack us, and we cannot single out
nations and prepare against them with

If the public is sufficiently interest
cd in such u proposition, we might
arrange to give demonstration OF
such machine at some time in the
near future.
These submarines will Immediately
make our $15,000,000 battleships obso-
lete. There will be no use putting
millions in ships that can't stand up
against terror of the deep that costs
only n fw thousand dollars. With
tn explosives that can be obtained
the loss of life will be so appalling
the very terror of it will be an in
fluenco for peace.
Behind the war cry for n bigger
navy all the time is the greed of the
men who sit back in their easy chairs
and smile up their sleaves as they
see huge profits coming to them from
wasted expenditures for battleships
and big guns. These men foment the
was spirit, ge the people to believe
huge sums of money must be spent
for national defense and we follow
them blindly, wasting our hard-earned
money. Then some other country,
seeing our ornaments grow, spends
lot of money trying to keep up with
us. The whole thing is an extrava-
giant farce and sure cause of war,
all for the benefit of the men who
make the equipment.

BRYAN DISCUSSES PEACE
TRIP WITH EDITORS

Washington, D. c., Sept. 17.-Wil-
liam j. Bryan, today told committee
representing the foreign language pa
pers of the country that he would
take under advisement their invita-
ton to go to Europe and do what he
can to bring the great war to a close.
About forty editors came to Wash
ington, but only a committee of eight
called upon him at his home, Calumet
Place.
After the conference Mr.. Bryan
issued the following statement:
81 appreciate very much the honor
you do me in suggesting that l visit
Europe in the interest of peace. Dur
ing the last three months this sugges-
ton has come to me from several diff
erent sources, but heretofore it has
come from individuals who felt only
general interest in the matter.
I'm the first place the foreign born
citizens of tbs country share personal
ly in the sorrow caused by the raw
ages OF war among their relatives and
intimate friends in the countries of
their birth. The foreign born element
oioO 0lldCl from
experience the heavy burden which
the policy of preparedness has thrown
upon European nations, and cannot
fail to note the use which is being
made for the war to support the de-
mand for larger expenditures on the
army and navy"
81 need not assure you that shall
you desire for peace and am willing
to do anything in my power to has
ten it. Whether it is wise for me to
undertake trip to Europe is a aues-
ton which / am not now prepared to
decide, and 1 am sure you will allow
me to take the matter under advise
ment.
at is possible that 1 might con-
tribute some thing toward the ex-
tension of peace plan to which our
country is committed and to which /
confidently look upon as a powerful
influence for the prevention of war.

already entered into those treaties
are four of the belligerents, namely

The "Doc." Sitting on the Lid.
(Blacksburg News.)

West Virginia "wet" advocates are
circulating petitions asking the gov
ernor to call an extra session of the
legislature to repeal or modify the
drastic prohibition law. DR.. Hatfield
the governor, has already notified the
petitioners thro the press that he will
not call an extra session to aid i'm Grip
ping the law. He believes the peo-
pie want strict prohibition laws and
will try to carry out their wishes.

effective; the "drys" says it is not. If
the law is not effective why do the

RAISING STANDARD
OF DAIRY HERDS

In this work OF building up profit
able herd. whether pure bred or grade.
there Is one very important point that
Is very much neglected. says Hoard's
Dairyman. We refer to the culling out
Of the inferior cows It Is an old say
ing that selection is just as important
as good breeding" Every dairy farmer
ought to set up standard Of butter
fat production per COW to which he
can work and by which be can meas
ure the cows Of his herd. We will say
chat this standard should be an aver
age Of 400 pounds for pure bred herds
and $50 pounds for grade herds.
This Is not an excessive standard, al
though not one herd In hundred meas
ures up to 1t.
To arrive at such measure Of pro-
duction the owner must be clear and
determined In the work OF culling out
the Inferior cows. Such culling will
greatly increase the average of good
heifers from his sire, for the sire will
then have better mothers to mate with.
OF course. such work OF selection can
not be carried on without regular
system Of keeping record Of the yield
Of every cow.
1t often occurs that the owner will be
little puzzled as To whether he shall
keep or reject heifer Judged by her
first years record. While we fully be-
lieve that u good record for the first
year is valuable guide as to the fu-
ture capacity of COW. still there are
so many exceptions 10 II as to compel
us TO keep our heifers till they have
completed their second year in milk be
fore passing judgment upon them.
In quite a number Of instances We
have had heifers make rather poor
showing the first year and come mp ex.
ceedingly well In their second year OF
