A Distinctive Reason

What is the chief reason for the superb
ority of Royal Baking Powder2
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know. is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes. This means healthful fruit origin
1t means natural food as distinguished from
mineral substitutes used in other baking
powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal

Although no one can say when the
European war will end, there are
peace rumorS in the air and undoubt-
edly these r1mors will continue and
grow until peace finally comes about.
Whether or not we are to have peace
in the near future, it behooves the.
American business man to begin
making his plans now in order that
he may know exactly what he is go
ing to do when hostilitfes cease. The
end of the war will witness a con

ports to others, decline in imports
from some countries, a great in
crease in imports from others, and
altogether the changed conditions
will considerably alter the commercial
situation, both in the matter of our
foreign trade and in our home trans
actions. Our foreign trade is Ger
tainly not more than 2 per cent of our
total trade and it has been estimated
as low as 1 per cent Al farmer sells
but a very small part of what is
grown on his farm, just as we send
abroad but a small part of what we
produce, in either raw materials or
manufactured articles. These small
parts, however, are the most tnpor-
tant parts; it is the small amount
sold for cash by each farmer which
keeps him going and it is our export
business, small when considered with
our domestic business, which keeps
us going and /renews our supply of
gold, aside from enabling US to buy
abroad things which, we are not able
to produce for ourselves.
The business man who gets ready
for the end of the war now will be
sure to be ready for peace when it
comes and will have a decided advan-
tage over his neighbor. Tt is only the
uniformed who will be panic-stricl-

GERMAN RULER SAYS
GHENT UNIVERSITY
MUST BE FLEMISH
Attempts by Leading Flemish in.
Antwerp TO Prevent Educa-
tionaI Change Defeated.

The Hague, Netherlands, April f.
The latest development in pro-Flem-
ish schemes of the Germans in Bel
GUM is a long letter from Baron Won
Kissing, the German Governor-Gen-
eral, refusing to renounce his plan of
converting the University of Client
into a Flemish University, although
requested to do so by a group of we'll
known leaders of the Flemish move
ment themselves.
A number of leading F1emings Of
Antwerp, realizing how their cause
might be set back after the war by
the present intervention of tho Ger
mans in its favor. recently petitioned
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to leave the So
luton of this question to the Bel
gians themselves, putting forward
various reasons Of a political and
moral nature why he should give UP
the scheme regarding Client Uni
versity. Among the signators of this
petition were Louis Franck, president
of the International Commission of
Antwerp, member of the Belgian
Chamber, and one of the drafters and
proposers of the bill to give the Client
University a, Flemish basis; Jan Devos,
mayor of Antwerp; A1fons Ryckmans
and Leo van Peborgh, pro-Flenish
members of the Senate, and others.
The petition was viewed with dis
appointment and displeasure by the
governor general whose reply declared
that preparations for systematically
carrying out the reform of Client
University have already begun, and
that 1.-THE objections raised are not of
such a nature as to give ground for
my going back on my decision
IT attach he continues, too much
value to the material and moral task
of higher education and the universe
ties to share in your opinion that the
benefits of such education might be
withheld for a long period yet from
the rising generation of the occupied
country without inf1icting great harm
upon it."
"There is no single reason for you
to speak of my resolve as a super
f1uous gift that the Flenings might
not accept at German hands. Like
wise, your opinion that the question
Of the Client University is one of
purely internal Belgian policy, in
which the occupying power is not
competent to intervene, is neither
actually nor legally justifable. You
know very, well that in peace time, in
contrast to the French, Germany has
always avoided mixing itself up in
these matters, So much the less can
allow that the governing and adj
1ninistrative rights which Germany,
as occupying power. now has in Bel
GUM, with regard also to higher ed
ucation, be restricted in any way.
Neither can the normal objections
raised by you stand a close inquiry
Whoever opposes the reform
ordered by me is aiming a blow at a
vital interest of the Netherlands race
in Belgium, without thereby in the
least benefitting the Belgian state. AS
is well known to you, this is recogniz-
ed in a wide circle among the Flem-
l. Sc
ing the stand taken by you. Whether
the difficulty or practical impossi-
biIity of carrying out the scheme
which you indicate is a fact, time

pertinent station are husking their
own corn. The flint varieties were
mature enough to begin "hogging
down" nearly two weeks ago. At the
Edgeley sub-station corn is also being
'hogged down." In previous trials in
"hogging down" corn at the North Da-
kota Experiment station the hogs have
given returns averaging $50 per acre.
Trials have been made in comparing
the returns from corn "hogged down, -
as compared to corn husked and fed
the hogs. The best returns have been
given by the hogs helping themselves
to the corn. This saves the work of
husking and hauling the corn to the
hogs.
When the corn is "hogged down, "
such early maturing varieties as the
Gehu and Squaw corn can be grown.
These would be little difficult to
husk due to the ears being so close
to the ground, and they can not be
handled by machinery for the same
reason. Growing such varieties makes
it possible to start the corn feeding
earlier than would be possible with
the larger varieties Of corn. In this
way "hogging down" corn lengthens
the corn feeding season before cold
weather.
