PIG CLUBS FOR BOYS.

Minnesota is to have a statewide boys club
pork raising contest this year. T. A. Erickson
boys club leader OF the extension division, de-
partment OF agriculture Of the University OF Min
nesota, and for the United States department OF
agriculture, has practically completed arrange
ments for II. He plans to hold the contest at
the same time as the annual corn contest. The
first contest of the kind In the state was the one
held by hurry county last year. II was highly sue
~cessful. Clarence Gullick won first prize by pro-
ducing 1869 pounds Of pork from the produce OF
one SOW In a ESQ day period. George Lowe stood
second, being only 81 pounds behind the nrst
price winer. Clarence's litter, however, only rep
resented a net profit over feed Of s71.S5. while the
second prize winer came across the line with
$12z.s1 to his credit. only ia cents to every
pound OF gain.

civilians. changes. Germany and
Great Britain are both proving this
10 b. trait common to the most
highly civilized powers. There IL no
reason in psychology or history, to
doubt that II is an unvarying law
OF all warrior nations.
1t Is probable that the trainers OF
the future International law will
take into consideration the fact that
as the world becomes more demo-
cratic civilians with votes must be
held accountable for tho dcclara-
tion of war. Thie may be the last
great war in which a beliigerent
population escapes personal risks be-
seems certain that no nation, here
after, will limit It's power to apply
economic pressure in wGrt me by
agreeing In advance to permit food
and raw materials for manufacture
to pass to civilian enemies.
Neutrals must suffer by these aD-
parcntly inevitable changes in war
methods. But It !s not improbable
that the statesmen will sec in this
versal peace than the adoption Of
academic resolutions at The Hague.
II neutrals know beforehand how
seriously war will affect them. they
doubtless will demand the right 70
be heard In times Of international
crises. although they may have no
direct interest in the immediate
uses at stake. They also will bring
threatening pressure to bear OH the
disputants to accept arbitration. 1t
seems. therefore, that another para
dox may be included In the Hegel-
ian philosophy and war may van

"Wheezy, Stuffed Puddings.' -

"A lot Of wheczy. ck-kneed old

This is what a former President called
naval commanders who arrived at navy

to Senator Root today.
The conference report on the naval
appropriation bill caused the discussion
In the Senate which led to Senator
Roots remark.
Conferees on this bill have abolished
the pluckinE board and have retained
the House provision to prohibit use Of
the Taylor and kindred efficiency sys-

yards.
Senator Root objected to the confer

Spring.

The Goodrich Raincoat Co., S22 r street
northwest, Is now entering on its second
season Of business in the Capital City.
During the few months 1t has been
operating in Washington. a very SUBJ
stantial business has been built up-s
business built upon integrity. The Good
rich Raincoat Company has insisted
upon a one-price-to-a all policy. and these
prices are steadfastly adhered to. There
Is not cutting Of rates to make sales, for
the Goodrich People recognize that you
cannot afford to sell one garment At
loss without making up the difference
upon another garment. and they know
In their advertising. the Goodrich
Raincoat Co. has always stated exactly
what their garments were. what the
materials were and what the prices
were. They have never held a sale that
was not a genuine one, with logical
reason for existence. nor have they ever
offered few cut-price LEADERS" with
the hope or intention Of attracting
customers to whom higher priced coats
stated exactly what they had to sell
and exactly what II was worth and ex-
actly what was its price.
That this policy of square dealing
makes f.: increased business Is amply
demonstrated in the increasing patron
age Of this store.
In starting upon the second season Of
| their business career. they have col
lected some of the seasons smartest de-
signs in Baimacaans, ranging in price
from 1915 to $3.50. Many OF the sea

fore House of Commons.

After the adjournment Of Congress
tomorrow, President Wilson will devote
practically his entire time to directing
the correspondence between this coun-
try and the belligerent powers OF
Europe relating to the war zone and
embargo situation.
Convinced that the note from Ger
many offers an opening whereby the
whole crisis regarding American ship
ping may be passed over. the President
10 far from pessimistic. While there Is
nothing definite to indicate that Great
Britain and France will accept the
counter proposals Of Germany. made
through the United States. the fact that
the allies have withheld a reply to the
American note regarding food shipments
to Germany has encouraged the hope
that they will recede somewhat from
their position.
- President Framing Statement.
The President, it is said. will take
plenty Of time to frame the statement
of the United States in regard to the
so-called blockade established by the
allies. 1t is known that for the last
few nights he has remained In his study
until a very late hour digesting not
only the formal communications from
England and France OH the subject. but
the reports .made by the American
diplomatic representatives in those
countries. Germany and the neutral
capitals.
At the State Department the feeling
obtains that the Berlin government. by
its ready acquicscence In the sugses-
ton Of the United States that this co,in-
try might undertake to supervise the
distribution Of food to the civil popu..
lation Of Germany. by its expressed
willingness to afford greater protection
the war zone. and by its acknowledge
ment Of the rights Of American neutral
commerce under international law. has
placed 1t squarely up to England and
frankly disavow any intention of re.
specting the rights of neutral countries.

International law experts OF the state
Department feel that Premier AsQuith

when. in outlining the policy Of the
allies and announcing their intention
not to permit any articles to reach Ger
many. observed that "of course, certain
niceties Of international law might have
TO be overlooked"
Such a statement. it is believed. will
tend to unity the attitude Of all neutral
powers. Moreover. 1t Is suggested. the
British premier. by such a slip of the
tongue, unconsciously laid England
open to the same charge Of lawlesSness S
which that country made against Ger
