Paris.-The conference of the en-
tente allies-the most important since
day morning in the great salon of the
ministry Of foreign affairs, where
many other historic meetings of diplo.
matists have taken place. No pre-
vious meeting there, however, has
been of such grave import or has been
world figures in war and diplomacy.
The subject of the first sitting is
the military situation. That is all
which will be said definitely, but it is
probable that Gen. Joffre, Earl kitch-
ener, Gen. Sir Douglas Kaig. Lieut.-
Gen. Count Cadorna, Gen. Castelnau
and Gen. Roques, the new French was
minister, addressed the conference.
The conference is under the presi-
dency of Premier BRAND. The prem
iers Of Great Britain, Italy, Belgium
and Serbia participating.
The British foreign secretary Sir
Edward Grey, the secretary for war,
Field Marshal Earl Kitchener; and
commander of the continental forces,
Gen. Sir Douglas Haig; the French
commander in chief, Gen. Joffre, and
the Italian Gen. Cadorna, also have
seats at the council tables, Russia be.
ing represented by the foreign minis.
ter, M. Iswolsky and Gen. Gilinsky,

by the Japanese ambassador at Paris,
and Serbia by Prince Alexander.
Probably nothing will be disclosed
concerning the questions under con-
sideration or the decision reached, but
it is expected that the allied powers
will come to an agreement respecting
common military and political actions.

Girls and women with sallow skins,

that just as soap and hot water

internal sanitation is vastly more i'm

Why Farmer. Lose.

American farmers annually sustain
enormous losses by not producing full
crops upon the acres cultivated. This
statement was made by President e.
G. Perisho Of State college in an ad.
dress before the State Experiment as.
sociation. President Perisho said that
forty per cent of the land and all OF
the work put upon it are wasted in
producing the annual corn crop, be
cause the average yield of corn is less
than thirty bushels per acre when il
should be sixty bushels. In producing
less than twenty buhsels of wheat per
acre instead of forty, we are losing
fifty per cent of our wheat crop; and
the same proportion is true of oats.
We ought to produce our potato crop
upon two and half million acres in.
stead of five million acres.
President Perisho outlined the most
important factors in producing large
crops as: "First, seed which should
always be not only pure bred but OF
large yielding variety. Second, the
character of the soil and it's fertility
Third, the character and amount OF
cultivation. Fourth, the climatic condi.
tions. OF these four factors involved
the seed, the fertility of the soil and
the cultivation are all dependent upon
man himself"
Extensive reference was made to j
H. Gaultney of Posey county, Indiana
who is considered the champion corn
grower of America. During the last
ten years he has cultivated an aver
age of at least thirty-two acres of corr
per year which has averaged a little
over 103 bushels per acre. He runs
his farm upon the three-year rotation
system, always planting corn upor
clover sod. The three crops produced
are corn, small grain and clover. HI
believes and acts upon his belief ,ha
man wishing to produce 100 bushels
of corn to the acre must follow these
rules:
1. He must have an ambition t.
grow 100 bushels of corn to the acre
2. He must use pure-bred, high
yielding varieties of seed.
3. His land must be we'll drained
and fertilized. He must cultivate ex
tensively to conserve the moisture ant
kill the weeds.

not as yet rallying to him has been
collected by officers and the scouts
of the American troops.
Gen. j. j. Pershing has announced
the establishment of new base in
the pursuit of Villa. The second base
is much nearer the location where
the bandit is reported in precipi-
tate retreat than the old base at field
headquarters.
The headquarters, it is presumed,
will be maintained as an important
link in the supply station system, the
chain of bases forming a strong mill
tary line, readily defensible, reaching
a distance into the interior of Mexico
which is considered remarkable, con-
,sidering the fact that the army has
had less than two weeks to bridge des-
erts, mountains and many miles of
barren lands without the benefit of any
railroad communication.
Horses, mules and automobiles have
done the work and success thus far
has been attained by the ability of
the American cavalry to travel fast
and far on light rations, accustoming
themselves as they travel, not only to
semi-native diet, but also to difficult
climatic conditions.
Several cavalry organizations have
been out for considerably more than
week after a-start made on little
beef, salt, coffee, rice or beans. Not
word of complaint has come back
