Washington Dee. 9.--Recent per-
England, France and Germany, re-
vealed that the mass of the people in
all these countries are anxious for
peace, Miss Matilda Doty of New
York, told the annual meeting of the
Wuman's Peace party tonight. The
speaker said the lack OF accurate
news in one group OF belligerent
countries regarding conditions in the
other group is mainly responsible for
the continuation Of hostilities,

sons said the speaker ARE heartily
sick Of this war, Because Lloyd
George and other persons have been
crying that Germany was powerful,
must be crushed, II England and
France are to survive. tho people
have come to believe that such Is the
truth. As matter of fact, the peo-
pie of Germany are weak, and they
want peace.
Militarists Grow stronger.
ITO say that England and France,
by continuing the war, will crush
militarism in Germany, is erroneous.
II Is a fact that the longef the war
continues, the stronger the militarists
OF Germany will become. When the

NOTES ON POULTRY

The pullets that will fill the egg
basket in early fall and winter are
the early Matched pullets.
The incubator is ready to use
any time but with hens a desire
to hatch cannot be fastened.
Select eggs for Matching UNI
form in size. Extremely small
eggs or exceptionally large eggs
should not be used.
Chicks should be left in the in
cubator thirty-six to forty-eight
hours after Matching.
Keep the chicks we'll covered in
cold weather while moving them
to the brooder.
Keep the brooder in a sanitary
condition. Impure air will ruin
fine flock of chicks in a very
short time.
Make it rule that every chick
must come out from under the
hover at feeding time.
Guard against sudden changes
in the temperature. During cold
ewather locate the brooder in
doors.
Keep the little chicks busy by
feeding small grains in fine hitler.
Chicks size grit and fine char
coal should be kept beofre the
young chicks at all times.

CORN SITUATION
SHOULD HAVE ATTENTION

Just now one of the most i'm
portant matters that can be taken
up in North Dakota in connection
with farm work is the corn situa-
ton. North Dakota must grow an
increased acreage of corn the com
ing season. If she is to do this,
two things must be urged in ev-
cry community, first, the fact that
last years abnormal season was
universal and that North Dakota
raised a larger percentage of her
corn crop than many of the SO
called corn states and that there
fore no one should be discouraged
because of last years experience,
and second, that because of last
years unsatisfactory conditions,
seed corn must be tested.
The corn situation is having at
tention all over the country. The
Governor of Minnesota is making
a special appeal to Minnesota far
mers to test seed corn and in
crease their corn acreage. All of
the corn states are alive and &C
tive and North Dakota must not
he behinG.
AS a single crop and also in ro-
tations, corn ranks above any of
the small grain crops in the pro-
fit per acre where the slower and
grain are both used, according to
experiments at the North Platte
Experimental SubStation. That
corn leaves the soil in a condi-
ton which favors profit from the
succeeding crop adds to its value.
Spring wheat ranks next to corn
and gives the most profit when it
follows corn in a rotation.

500 new FARMERS
ELEVATOR COMPANIES

The Equity COOPERATIVE En-
change of st. Paul, which is the
second largest grain commission
house in the world, is not salts
fled with second place and will
begin campaign at once to o"-
ganize five hundred more Equity
COOPERATIVE Elevator Companies.
A department. has been estab-
lished for this purpose and the
campaign will begin at once.
Many neighborhooGs are already
writing in asking for assistance
in holding meetings, selling stock,
organizing other companies, etc.
During the past few years it
has been very easy to organize
cooperative companies, but the
great difficulty has been to secure
competent managers for the COM
panies already in existence. To
meet this difficulty the Equity Co
Operative Exchange will at ance
establish in the Pioneer Bldg. 1t
st. Paul, a school for Farmers
Elevator managers. This school
will be under the direct supervis..
ion of J. NJ. Anderson, Pres. of the
Equity Co-Operative Exchange
and M. w. Thacher, Pres. of the
Equitable Audit Co. 1t will have in
the neighbOrhood of twelve i'm
structors and the course will last
for three weeks. Only such stuG-
ents will be accepted as are cap
able of becoming managers of
Farmers Elevator Companies. A
small tuition will be charged each
student, but this will he refunded
to any student who does not Sc
cure a position as manager of a
Farmers Elevator before the OPP
ening of The next grain season.
For the past several years the
farmers in their efforts to estab-
lish their own grain market have
been handicapped in not being
able to employ managers who
would work for their interest,
hence, the establishment of this
school.
The intention will be not only
to teach the grading of grain and
different methods of selling the
same. but to teach the co-opera-
tive principles of marketing grain
to managers, and thus place them
in position to work for the farm
crs' interests as managers, in
stead of receiving salaries from
the farmers and plugging for the
grain combine as so many of the
managers have done in the past.
During the past year, the de-
mand for managers of Farmers
Elevators has been far in excess
Iof the supply, and this short
course in grain marketing to any
one who already has a common
school education will put them in
position to demand good salary
and responsible position.
