hundred men and boys were thrown
out of work at the Maxwell colliery
of the Lehigh & Wilkes Barre Coal
Company at Ashley, near here, today

the future. The boys replied that
they will keep the colliery idle every
Saturday to play ball il the order is
enforced.

that the commander of the big Ger.
man sea raider Kronprinz Wilhelm
had given notice he would intern for
he war without awaiting the expira-
ion Of the time allowed him by the
United States government to make
his ship seaworthy was received with
surprise and relief by government
officials. The raiders action relieves
the navy department of the necessity
of keeping watch over the Wilhelm
and an eye on the Gordon of allied
ships off the Virginia capes to assure
the maintenance of American neu-
trality during the remainder of the
time the cruiser had been allowed
to make repairs. It is understood
that several days of that period still
remained.
1t was suggested here tonight that
Captain Thierfelder's announcement
was made after he had received in
struction from the German govern
ment through the embassy here not
to attempt dash through the line
of hostile warships off the capes.
The Wilhelm, which arrived at
Newport News on April II after an
eight months cruise, during which
she sank - fourteen merchantmen,
will be interned at the Norfolk navy
yard and her officers and men will

anne rules made for the crew of the

What Corn to Plant for Silage

WnaC COrn 10 rant Tor SlI1&e
In recent letter to the College Of
Agriculture a Missouri farmer had
this to say:
Last summer built two concrete
silos. l will fill them for the first
time this fall. Are there any other
crops besides corn that can be used
successfully as silage? III use corn
what kind should l plant and how
should it be planted?"
In answering this question w. NJ.
Regain of the Dairy Department says:
MANY crops are used as silage with
varying success in different localities.
For Missouri conditions, however,
corn is the only crop that can be gen.
orally recommended. Corn grows
well in all parts of the state and yields
more food material per acre than any
other crop. It is more easily harvest
ed and put into the silo than any of the
hay crops. With the harvesting ma
chinery that we have at the present
time the hay crops are much more
difficult to handle after being cut. |
Furthermore corn makes an excellent
quality Of silage. The legumes such
as clover, alfalfa and cowpeas are
liable to rot unless great care is taken
to pack the silage firmly and force the
air out Cowpeas are often planted
With the corn. A mixture of the two
makes excellent silage but the diff
'ulty of harvesting makes the system
The best corn for the silo in any .
ocality is the same corn that pro- /
luces the largest yield of ears in that !
ocality. The corn that produces the ,
immense yields of fodder are the late /
Maturing southern varieties. These |
a Missouri must necessarily be har- /
ested at an immature state. On ,
1ost Missouri farms such corn as 1
,eid's Yellow Dent or Boone County ,
White, make excellent silage corn.
his corn should be planted in exact I
the same manner as it would be
lanted to get the largest yield of I
rain" ),

GUN CLUB AT NYHART
Ideal" Club Organized With Large
Membership.

Nyhart, the Mecca Of Bates county
tsportsmen, has organized a gun club
and many Of the most enthusiastic
gunners Of the county are enrolled
upon its membership records.
The regular club shoot is held BIZ
weekly on Saturday, but almost any
afternoon upon approaching the
grounds one may hear the crack Of
smokeless powder and see a clay
pigeon smashed to fragments as some
gunner limbers up his shootin' eye
in anticipation Of the regular match.
The club is named the 'Tdeal' and
rightly for conditions for trap shoot
ing there are really ideal. Several
traps of the most improved types are
set close to a shady grove with a
beautiful, open, level meadow in
front. The line of fire is away from
the public road and no residences are
close enough to the grounds for the
shooting to become annoying. An
abundance of clay pigeons are always
kept on hand and members Of the
club are furnished their ammunition
at cost by Nyhart's leading merchant,
Mel Campbell.
Several Butler gunners have gone
to Nyhart with blood in their eyes and
visions of big score but it is notice.
able that upon their return home they
have hunted look, and none so far
have shown their score cards in pub
lie.
The club is governed by rigid rules
while at the traps and every precau-
ion is taken against accidents.
The club has had to face but one
difficulty since its organization, that
IT preventing Doc Patterson and Bert
Warner from slipping up to the
blind" and potting the pigeon before
eleased from the trap.
The officers are: President, j. A.
PATERSON; Sec'y and Treasurer, A.
4. Campbell. I
The next regular shoot will be held t
aturday afternoon, May 9Th. 8

Auto Dealers Must Furnish Tags
for Temporary Use. -

Many new owners of automobiles
would save themselves trouble, ar.
rest, conviction, fines and penalties
if they knew the law and insisted on
their legal rights when they buy their
new car. If the purchaser of car
will demand of the dealer from whom
he buys one of the dealers number
plates to cover the operation of the
car till the buyer gets it home, or un-
til he can make application for and
receive owners number plate, he
will be in no danger of arrest, Some
dealers in the large cities tell their
customers they may drive their car
home without a number plate. Pur-
chasers that don't know the law
compels the dealer to furnish plate
for temporary use, 60 forth without
a number plate, only to be picked up
by some constable or sheriff. Pur-
chasers should insist on their legal
rights, and wherever dealer refuses
to furnish his customer a number
plate, the. customer is justified in
promptly refusing to buy the car.
Section four of the law says: "The
dealer shall upon application of the
buyer furnish his customer for tenn.
porary use one of the dealers number
plates, which plate the customer may
be allowed to use for fifteen days,
provided he shall have mailed his ap-
olication for owners number plate.
The foregoing paragraph when
cad and acted upon by prospective
automobile buyers will save not only
!reat annoyance buy many thousands
+ dollars in fines and penalties
throughout the state each year.
