THE resourceiul and ingenious Germans
have broken the blockade that the British
have maintained abouttheir seaports since
the beginning OF the great war almost two
years ago. Last Sunday there arrived in
Baltimore a supersubmarine-a merchant
vessel built by the Germans for freight
traffic which had crossed The Atlantic
ocean, successfully evading British war
vessels of every class, and which travelled
on the surface of the waters when il was
safe to do so and submerged itself when
danger was apprehended. II was the
first journey by such vessel in the his
tory of the world, and must be regarded
as a most wonderful performance. The
vessel took sixteen daysin which to make
the voyage OF 400 miles, and was under
water less than hundred miles. ltpass-
ed in the Virginia capes at Norfolk last
Sunday, took on pilot, moved up the
bay triumphantly, and Monday was safe
ly tied up to pier in the Baltimore har-
Dor. The vessel carried crew OF "
men and had aboard a cargo OF $50 tons
OF dye stulfs, worth million dollars or
more, that are so greatly needed in the
United States. On its return trip il will
carry full load of nickel and crude rub
Der, which Germany wants worse than
anything else.
There has been some question as TO
whether a submarine would be regarded
as war vessel or merchantmen, but
as the Deutschland carried neither guns
nor torpedoes that violated our laws, our
government must give it the privilege OF
our ports. II is said that several Similar
vessels have been built by the Germans,
and that regular line will be established
between that country and the United
States.
Although Britannia still pretends to rule
the waves, it seems to be fact that the
Germans are far more clever AID resource
full than the boasted British navy.

THE United States and Mexico are get
ting extremely friendly, and the mobiliza-
ton of the regular army and the 100000
tional guardsmen along the border is
being turned into picnic. The Mexicans
have evidently been impressed with the
showing made by Uncle Sam, and instead
OF wanting TO fight US they seem to be
ready to give US party to show their
good feeling.
Still, treachery has long been the most
noted characteristic of Mexican character,
and il may be well for the United States
10 keep both eyes open.

CONGRESS still has number OF very
important bills before il on which The

OUR always partisan contemporary, the
Wheeling Intelligencer, is laboring hard
10 make il appear that there is great dis
sension among the Democrats oil West
Virginia because former Senator Watson
was elected member OF the national COM
mittee instead OF Col. McGraw, and says:
Colonel McGraw has host OF friends
in the Democratic ranks who are aggrleved,
and have reason TO be, and they will
undoubtedly be heard FROM"
We have money TO bet that if this were
true-which if is not-that Col. McGraw's
friends would not use the lntelligencer as
a mouthpiece. AS amatter of fact, every
body is satisfied, including Colonel Nc
Graw, with the honors that have so long
been given him and agree that it is wise
10 put Mr.. Watson in the place where he
is bound to nave such tremendous inilu-
ence.

A NEWS item of significance comes
from California. II is statement that tie
Iceland Standard University is tearing
out every grape vine in its VIVA Vineyard
OF $500 acres and will plant the land in
alfalfa. The reason is that il does not pay
to grow grapes because the California
wine trust has cut down the price so thai
all profit has been eliminated. Many
farmers who have been growing grapes
will quit il and turn their attention to
other crops.
A great deal has been said about the
vast importance to California OF its grape
industry. The truth is coming out, and
il appears that the only persons making
money out of il are the few who are in
the wine trust. The growers have been
working for their board and clothes.

HOG CHOLERA

Hog cholera is disease that the
Mason Valley farmer must contend
with in order to raise swine success
FULLY. An outbreak occurs and kills
off ali hogs that do not have a high
resistance to the disease. The few
hogs left increase; the resistance dis.
appears in the succeeding generations
and we are again visited by cholera
The only method the federal govern
ment advises for the absolute pre-
vention of cholera is the "simultane-
Gus" treatment of virus and serum
This treatment makes hogs cholera
immune for life.
All purebrcd Berkshires pigs at the
