 The authority for this statement. who would not permit himself to be quoted by name. said that he and his friends recently undertook to sound Mr. Hughes to discover whether he would accept the nomination # 1t should come to him as the free will offering of the Republican convention.
 Must Reject Hoonor
 Tho justice, 1t is alleged, made 1t clear that if he were nominated he would be compelled to reject the hon. or
 MT. Hughes is represented as assert ing tho impropr,ety of a Supreme Court justice permitting himself to be considered as a possible presidential candidate It would drag the court Into politics and establish a danger ous precedent. he said He hoped to see the day when no one would think of suggesting a Supreme Court justice for political perferment
 According to this account the posi-. tlon of Mir. Hughes is this: He would not resign now to become a candidate for the nomination, because he Is not seeking the presidency. and he is com percd to say he would reject an un- sought nomination because otherwise he would be guilty in the meantime of impropriety of participating In the fi- nal decision of litigation while being considered for political offices.

VIENNA. Feb. 21-When the wave of enthusiasm and patriotism reached It's height and agitation against the French fashions throughout the Con- tral Empires the extravagant Paris ian styles were to be replaced by Ger man and Austrian simplicity.

 Exhibition of German and Austrian fashions were arranged and hun dreds Of women pledged themselves never to ape the styles of the far Parisiennes again.

 LONDON. Feb. S.-A Zeppelin air. ship and probably all her crew has been lost in the North Sea, and it is probable that she met her fate from the fro of Dutch anti.sircraft guns.
 An English trawler reaclng Grims- by reported today having seen in the North Sea the Zeppelin L-1s partly submerged and with seventeen to twenty men ci.nsing to her gas en- velope. Aid was refuse dthe Germans because they outnumbered the crew of the trawler.
 Fifty shots. some or which. 1t Is be- Heved. bit her. were fired at a Zeppelin Wednesday morning as she flew low in a fog over the Island of Ameland, off the coast ot Holland. The airship, according to an Amsterdam report, finally disappeared northward. the course which would have taken her out into the North Sea.
 Thirteen men of tho crew of the collier Franz Fischer were drowned when the collier was sent to the bot tom in two minutes by bomb drop ped by one of the Zeppelins returning rom tho raid made OF England On Iy three men of the Fishcher were saved.
 The collier Franz Fischer, which de- parted from Haruepool Monday after noon. was sunk by one Of tho Zeppe- uns that visited England. Three men were saved: Chief Engineer Birch, Steward Taylor and Seaman Charles Hinier. The Franz Fischer was a captured enemy vessel employed as a coasting collier.
 Tells of Tragedy
 Hnier. who Is a native of New Foundland. described the disaster as follows.
 About 1O:so o'clock Tuesday night we heard noise overhead such as we never heard before. Presently, a Zeppelin came right over us and dropped e bomb which fell near the engine room. A tremendous explos- lon followed. the vessel remaining afloat only two minutes.
 There was no tiroe 10 launch life boats. We all went under with the ship. When I came up again l caught hold of llfe-belt. After swimming for some time. came across the chief engineer and the steward who also had managed to get hold of lise-belts. By their air. we kept afloat for about an hour.
 'It was pitiful to hear the cries Of some of the other men who had come to the surface Of the water after the disappearance Of the vessel. but soon their cries ceased. and we concluded they all had been drowned. Mean while we continued shouting for help. When almost exhausted a Belgian ves- sel heard us. lowered a boat and pick ed us up. Later we were transferred to a mine sweeper and landed.
 Asked how the Zeppelin managed to locate the vessel in the dark. ST. Her said the collier was riding at an- chor and her anchor lights must have been seen by the men in the zeppe- lin.

DANCE, CARDS
AND THE CHURCH

Introductory to his sermon Sunday
morning, Rev. Morton delivered the
following reference to the question
docs the Methodist Church Approve
of Dancing and Card Playing?' He
said:
Zone of the hardest things l ever
had to do was when | was nineteen
years of age, the first winter | taught
school. When | was a boy of seven
went with my parents to visit an
uncle, and while there my father pur-
chased shepherd dog, and for twelve
years this dog was my companion in
every kind of sport. He went with
me to the woods. Together we went
after the cows morning and evening
in the summer, but often he went
alone. In playing hide and seek with
other boys this dog was ever ready to
help hunt But the time came when
he was cross to children, and it
seemed necessary, for their safety,
that we should dispose of the dog.
My brother would not kill him but
said that if | would do that part he
would dispose of the body. So one
morning before starting to school |
went out into the woodshed where the
dog was chained and took an ak and
killed that dog, my companion for so
many years. 1t was hard thing to
do but it seemed necessary for the
safety of others.
"A number of times in my life
have had things which needed to be
done which to me were very disagree
able. | have found, however, that if,

WHY NOT GROW
SEED AT HOME?

M. l.. Root, deputy State seed in
specter, whose territory is from
Grangeville north to the Canadian
line, says the state desires to have
the growers of this district become
organized for the purpose of produc-
ing high-grade pedigreed garden
seeds. That this territory has pro-
duced the finest quality of garden
seed that is possible to grow any
where on earth, was his positive state
ment to the Clearwater Republican
yesterday during Mr.. Roots visit to
this section.
Mr.. Root authorizes the following
statement of the case: "a more OPP
perfume time may never present itself
for the farmers OF northern Idaho to
establish one of the greatest agricult-
ural industries. The time for action
is right at hand. Delay may pass
this wonderful opportunity to some
less favored section of the United
States.
''Of the many new lines of industry
the war in Europe is forcing us into
the growing of our own garden and
field seeds is beyond question the
greatest. Our country has always
paid tribute to European seed growers
sometimes as much as $66, 900, 900
yearly. Denmark is about the only
seed-growing district in Europe now
that is unmolested by the war to pur-
sue this industry. This year our
growers will pay as high as thirty
and forty dollars per pound for some
common garden vegetable seed.
Would it not be better if we could
sell ourselves some at these prices :?
AN extract from the Weekly News
Letter, U. S. Department of Ayr,
Sept. 8, 1915, says: Since July Is.
1915, rs lots of common clover seed
have been imported. In three of
these lots containing enough seed to
SOW over 1850 acres, there was no
seed that could not be expected to
grow under field conditions. The
seed in five other lots, aggregating
enough to SOW 900 acres, terminated
only from As to SIS per cent. The i'm
portation of this seed, together with
1000, 900 pounds Of seed of low germ
ination, imported during May and
June, makes it more important than
ever that farmers should know the
termination of crimson clover seed
they are seeding. AS the Department
is without power to prevent the adj
mission of seed of low termination,
unless particular attention is given to
the termination of crimson clover
seed this fall many crop failures are
sure to result from sowing dead seed.
What is true Of crimson clover is
