Whitman Nominates Hughes.
Whitman, nominating Hughes, said:
We are assem- bled here to name
the standard bearer of the great Re-
publican party. We are here in re-
sponse to a demand. We are here in
lean people that minority president
give way to a leader representing the
will of the majority. We are here to
select the next president of the United
States.
The national horizon is dark and
troubled. From afar the lurid flashes
of d world war remind us of our own
citizens killed and our flag insulted-
To the south we see anarchy en-
croaching on our borders. At Wash
lngton the president watches and
waits Yet we must not think the
task before US an easy one. The
country is still at peace and the main
tenance of peace will be plausibly
claimed by the Democratic party
That party hopes that the country
will soon forget the insults to our ma
tional honor. 1t is belief that the peo-
pie will not long remember the va
cillating diplomacy clothed in glitter
ing rhetoric which has alarmed people,
discredited us among nations and
brought us to the verge of war.
Prosperity, But
"a form of prosperity is in the
land and few, perhaps, realize its tenn
porary nature, or pause to analyze its
causes
Here Whitman cited the European
war as giving unnatural prosperity
IF the devcut prayers. of all man
kind be answered and our hopes be
fulfilled, which God grant, the fright
full holocaust of war will end as quickly
and Unexpectedly as it began, and the
products of European labor will pour
in upon US, undeterred by tariff bar
rier, at prices ruinous TO our trade
and industries" he continued. I'VE

ROOTS FOR STOCK IN WINTER
MangeIs and Turnips Act As Appetiz-
ers and Bowel ReguIators-Use
Care in Feeding.

Most stockmen realize the worth or
roots in the winter ration for the cat
tie, but few recognize the fact that
the mangels and turnips may be fed
in such way that much of their
value is lost, says a writer in an ex-
change. Roots act as appetizers and
bowel regulators rather than as actual
milk producers; hence they should be
fed with care. They are largely COM
posed of water, and therefore they use
up the heat Of the body. For this rea-
son, in extreme cold weather we cut
down the usual quantity of roots fed.
and on severely cold days we even
skip the roots altogether, feeding some
thing else having less water content.
Roots should not be taken from
the storage pits or cellars, where the
temperature is not far from the
freezing point, and fed Immediately. A
better way is to bring them into
heated room for IL to "a hours, after
which they may be cut and given to
the live stock. We like to bring the
roots into a warm room in the morn
ing, leaving them until the next mora
ing, when they are cut and fed. Cows
that are giving milk should eat the
roots just after being MIXED YIN the
morning.

u. S. MARTIAL LAW IN DOMINGO
Daniels Says Government Was Seized
I Because of "DepIorable condi-
tions"-Action Well Received.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE United
states has proclaimed martial law
over the republic of Santo Domingo,
Secretary of the Navy Daniels an
nounced on Thursday.
Secretary Daniels explained that
action was necessary because of "de-
plorable conditions throughout Santo
Domingo.
The navy department made the fol-
lowing announcement:
"Capt. H. S. Knapp, in command of
the United States forces in Santo Do
mingo, reports that in compliance with
instructions received military govern
ment was proclaimed by him in Santo
Domingo at 4 p. M, November 20.
'sAn order regarding carrying arms
or having them in possession has been
in effect. Payment Of salaries of gov
eminent officials will be resumed i'm
mediately.

ceived. Conditions are normal and
the majority of the people regard the
proclamation with favor"

CRUDE OIL DESTROYS VERMIN
Oilers Are Cheapest and Most Efficient
Means Of Kidding Hogs of
Harmful Lice.

Hog oilers are the cheapest and
most efficient means Of Kidding the
hog of lice, says the veterinary de-
partment of the Nebraska College Of
Agriculture.
One application of crude oil kills
both lice and nits. The most COM
venient method of applying the oil is
by means of a hog oiler, of which there
are several good types. They are all
ways ready and require little atten-
ton. The best oiler allows the pig
to rub the oil on any part of the body.
The oiler can also be applied with
a sprinkler, spray pump, broom, or
brush. If there is any indication of
skin disease, the parts may be
scrubbed with broom or brush so as
to get the oil well into the skin. When
crude oil is used, the appearance of
skin and hair is greatly improved.

SUNSHINE IN CATTLE STABLE
Animal in Sunlight Takes on Flesh
More ReadiIy-southern Expos
ure Is Favored.

A farmer, whose cattle have always
been kept in stable on the north side
of the barn, well lighted and yenti-
lated, had occasion to enlarge his
stable, building the extension with a
southern exposure, into which the di-
rect rays of the sun were permitted to
enter with no obstruction.
He discovered by accident, what he
subsequently demonstrated by repeat
ed experience, that the same creature
in the sunlight took on flesh more
readily, ate less and produced more
than when kept in the stable where
the direct sunlight never entered.
More than this, he proved conclu.
sively that creatures suffering with va
rious diseases, or reduced physical
condition from divers causes, recOv.

washington, Dec. 4.-The German
submarine commander who sunk the
horse ship Marina with the loss Of six
Americans has reported to his gov
eminent that he took the vessel for a
British transport, Germany has asked
the United States for information as
to the status of the ship and is ready
to offer amends if the Marina was en-
titled to indemnity.
1t is understood that if the United
States can inform Germany that the
Marina was not in the British trans
port service and was entitled to the
immunities of a peaceful merchant
ship the Berlin government is ready to
acknowledge an error and make offers
of settlement satisfactory to the
United States.

BIG LOAN is CANCELLED
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARDS
STAND HALTs ALLIES, DEAL.
Morgan & Co. Withdraw Proposed
Sale Of $4,000, 900 Treas
ury Bills.

New York, Dec. 4-The firm of j. p.
Morgan & Co. has withdrawn the pro-
posed sale of $5O,O0O,OOO of British and
French treasury bills, according to in
structions received from abroad.
The announcement was contained in
the following statement:
1--WE have been instructed by the
British and French governments to
withdraw their treasury bills from sale.
We have accordingly expressed to
those institutions and investors which
had already placed orders with us for
these securities to wish to be released
from the obligations to deliver and
they have been good enough to accede.
This action is because, as explained
by the British chancellor of the ex-
chequer and by the French minister of
finance these governments desire to
show every regard to the federal re-
serve board, a governmental body of
which the secretary of the treasury
and the comptroller of currency are
eX-officiO members.
eve may add that the sale in linz
tied amount of these treasury bills pay
able in dollars in New York has never
been an essential part of the allied
governments financial plans, but have
for some time been under considera-
ton with view to furnishing a credit
medium that would accommodate the
American banking demands for an in
strument of short maturity and of such
limited volume that the government
could always undertake to day down
gold in New York sufficient to meet the
matured bills.
1T was believed further that these
bills would have furnished at the end
of the was an excellent measure of pro-
lection to the American financial situa-
ton inasmuch as these steadily matur-
ing obligations of the foreign govern
ments would have tended to prevent
heavy drafts of gold from this mar
ket.''
An informal statement was made by
member of the Morgan house that no
other financial plans have been formu-
lated in place of the ones abandoned.

From Greece Resign.

London, Dec. 6.-The NGreek minis
ter in London and the Greek consuls
in London and Manchester have re-
signed, stating that they are unable
further to identify themselves with
the policy of King Constantine.
In the house of commons on Monday
Lord Robert Cecil, war trade minister,
said that the British government con-

(The suggestion of radical solu-

allies will move to dethrone that mon
arch, or at least to make his position
merely nominal and politically power

The feeling against King Constan-
tine, who is charged with having done
everything possible to embarras$ the
allies, has been growing here and de-
mands that steps be taken to check
his activities have become more in

The situation in Greece, said Lord
Roberts, is one Of extreme gravity.
Despite formal and repeated assur-
iances of the Greek king and govern
