j. 5. Submarines to
Be Best in World

Washington, Nov. 23.-The two new
feet submarines, bids for which will
soon be advertised, by the navy de-
partment, will exceed the Schley, the
worlds biggest underwater craft, SO
far as is known, by 300 tons in dis
placement. They will be 1900 tons
craft as against the Schley's 1000 tons
and exceed by 200 tons the biggest Of
the cruiser destroyers of the navy.
Congress gave navy designers hard
task when it said these two new feet
submarines should have a surface
speed of Is knots an hour, IF pos
sible." The schley will be a 20-knot
boat when completed and will have
more than 1000 horsepower furnished
by heavy oil engines. Experiments in
the navy model basin with models of
the new craft show that they will re.
quire between 5000 and 10000 horse
power to make the additional five
knots.
No internal combustion engines to
60 in the space available and furnish
the power required could be found for
the boats and specifications to be ad'
vertised will propose vessels fitted
with steam turbines for surface work,
although the same storage battery and
electric motor installation as in small
er craft will be used below the sur.
face.
A novel arrangement has been de-
veloped for ordinary surface cruising
whereby one of the twin turbines will
do all of the work, the second shaft
being operated by electricity. When
high speed is required both turbines
will be used.
The regularity of the construction,
however, lies in the fact that when the
boat is cruising, one turbine will drive
one propeller shaft and also its gen.
orator. Current from the generator
will pass directly to it's fellow on the
other shaft on converting the second
generator into a motor which will in
turn drive the second shaft. In this
way the full efficiency is obtained from
the single turbine. ~ +,
The boats will mount disappearing
guns for surface action. They will
probably carry two guns each and the
gun carriages have been so designed
as to permit the guns to be aimed
straight up in the air as defense
against aircraft. .>..s .

E. ]. Lee Acts Like
a Genuine Sufragist

Word comes from st. Paul that c..
j. Lee, one of the big factors in the
Equity movement Of North Dakota,
has a warm spot in his heart for the
women apparently. We have no
knowledge as to whether he has a
leaning toward the suffragist move
ment, but from expressions of a re-
cent date Mr.. Lee thoroughly believes
that the wives of the farmers Of the
Equity movement as we'll as those
who are not yet converts to it's teach
ings ought to accompany their hus-
bands to St. Paul and get the benefit
of the discussions on the cooperative
movement in the Northwest as well
as the husbands.

OF POULTRY
SHOULD HAVE GREAT CARE

Poultry packers are urged by the
specialists of the federal department
of agriculture to give unusual atten-
ton to preparing and packing their
birds for shipment, particularly if the
mild weather, which has been widely
prevalent this autumn, continues. The
poultry specialists say that the wealth
er conditions in many sections have
been very similar to those which pre-
vailed in the autumn of 1913, and
which, as poultry shippers will re-
member, proved disastrous to all pack
ers who did not dress, chill, and pack
properly.
The specialists therefore recon-
mend the particular observance of the
following methods of handling dress
ed poultry, which are essential to a
perfect product at any time and are of
vital Importance whenever weather
conditions are unfavorable:
1. Keep the holding batteries for
your incoming stock clean, we'll aired,
and free from vermin, and see that the
chickens have plenty of fresh water
and plenty to eat.
! 2. Don't kill chicken when the
crop is full of feed. Give the chicken
only water for "a hours before it Il
killed.
3. Good bleeding is absolutely es
sential to good appearance on thu
market and retards decay.
4. Hang the chicken by both fee
while picking. Hanging by one lei
spoils the shape of the bird. Pickinl
on the lap gets the skin dirty and has
tens decay. a.@.r + ~
5. Dry pick if possible. Scalding i
particularly undesirable because i
hastens decay.
6. Chill every dressed bird until tn
body temperature is below IS degree
!. F. Never pack or ship an imperfect
chilled bird.
/ 7. Pack in boxes or small key
whenever possible. A large barre
makes an undesirable package, bt
cause when poultry is packed in larg
masses the weight of the upper lay
ers brushes the birds at the bottom. /
8. Line all packages with parchmen
before the lid is put on.
8. Wrap every head in suitable p.
per so that blood from one bird wi
!, not mar the appearance of another.
TO- Use only good refrigerator car
, and see that they are in good orde
!, Ice and salt the car "a hours befor
loading. The car, at the end of 2
! hours, should show temperature b,
/ low 40 degrees F. at a point four fee
above the floor and between th
doors.

THE BEsT-oFF CITIZEN

Adams Standard: A rural dweller
writes: after five years Of expert
ence / would not exchange homes nor

dwellers now are willing to admit that
the man who is operating successful
farm is the best-off citizen under the

New Zealand Man
Likes North Dakota


New Zealand, who has been touring
California and other western points,
has arrived in Bismarck for a several
days visit at the capital city of North
Dakota. While in California he visit
ed the expositions. In an interview,
Mr.. Fisher gave a graphic description
of conditions in New Zealand and Aus
tralia since the outbreak of the great
European war. Times never were
BETTER" said Mr.. Fisher. I'm fact the
two countries are experiencing a
boom. Wool has greatly advanced in
price. During the last few months
wheat has advanced to 81 bushel and
the wool has had a great jump" Mr..
Fisher said that the wheat crop for
New Zealand last year was 100000
bushels.
In speaking of the effect of the Eu-
ropean war had had on New Zealand
and Australia, Mr.. Fisher said that no
material change was noticeable ex-
cept for the great demand for their
products. Wool, grain, mutton and
butter are in constant demand and
the expectations of these products
have created great demand for land
The governments Of these two coun.
tries, said Mr. Fisher, have taken
over the steamship commerce between
the two countries.
Australia and New Zealand have
contributed large number Of men
for the mother country" said Mr.
Fisher. Troop ships after troop shil
laden with soldiers leave the great
ports Of these countries right along
Mr.. Fisher said that many of the sol
diers from this section participated II
the great Dardanelles expedition ant
that many Of his classmates were
killed there in action. While leaving
New Zealand four months ago Mr.
Fisher said that eight troop ship'
were leaving one Of the ports ther'
and they were escorted by two Brit
fish, two French and two Japanes'
warships. He said that many Of tn
large liners have been dismantled ant
turned into ships to convey the sol
diers to the various battle fronts. MI
Fisher has had three years Of mil
tary training and If CONSUMPTION be
comes effective, will be among the frs
to be called.
i In speaking of America he sal
that he was greatly pleased with wha
he had seen in the great west and wa
delighted with the exposition at Sa
Francisco. The exposition, he sait
was wonderful, but the lack Of Bri
ish and German exhibits was yer
| noticeable.
