St Joseph county republicans are
scouting about and counting the
noses of those who will be able next
week to attend the state convention
of the g. o. p. at Indianapolis. The
convention will open Wednesday,
April 3, and hold over the sixth, ac-
cording to stipulations in the call.
Exciting times are promised, and
especially the Watson adherents
hereabOuts are anxious TO go well
represented. Two or three of those
elected delegates at the recent pri-
mary have declared openly that they
will not be able to attend-for bust
ness and for personal reasons. The
personal reasons are guessed at.

a candidate for the short term as
United States senator. is the gossip

n man need not confess to adj

KAISER ASKS WILSON
TO END WAR, REPORT
Ambassador BernstOrtt to See
President on Monday.

ASBURY PARK, N. J. = On Mon
day Ambassador Won BernstOrff will
confer with the President here. This
is expected to be the most important
non-political conference held since
the Chief Executive left Washington
for his summer home.
The dispatch published under
Zurich date line and alleging that the
Kaiser had appealed to President VIII
son to employ the good offices Of this
government to end the European con-
fiict was read with more than passing
interest at the executive offices.
In reply to a direct inquiry it was
said that such message from the
Kaiser had not been received as vet
Ambassador Won Bernstorff, who is
the Kaiser's personal representative,
may bring such a communication but
definite information on the subject is
not obtainable here.
Before leaving Washington Presi-
dent Wilson wrote to all of the Euro
pean rulers in behalf of the sufferers
in Poland. When the German ambaS-
sador asked for an appointment with
the chief executive it was supposed he
would convey the Kaiser's reply to
the communication mentioned.

Berries of the Niqhtshade.

The berries of the deadly nightshade
(Atropa belladonna) are such tempt
ing fruit for children that both they
and their parents ought to know the
plant and the terrible danger of eating
it's berries. These are the source from
which the poisons atropine and bella
donna are made.
The deadly nightshade grows from
three to five feet high on strong
branched purple colored stems. It's
pointed. oval leaves vary in size and
stand in pairs on short foot stalks.
The flowers are purple. pendent and
bell shaped These appear in June and
July and give place to shining black
berries in August and September.
