mind of Captain Mouffet filled us all
with admiration said Madame Wiser
Verlindem, a survivor of the channel
steamer Sussex.
Although badly hurt himself. this
fine French officer worked without
ceasing for the safety OF the passen-
gers. While giving orders he answered
all their questions, adding a reassur-

would keep afioat and advising all who
felt that they had sufficient courage tC

President Awaits Facts.
Washington, March 27.-Defnite in
formation regarding the sinking of the
steamship Englishman and the dam
aging by explosion of the channel
steamer Sussex were awaited by Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Lansing
today. This information was momen-
tarily expected from American con.
sular officers in England and France
If it is established that either OF
the vessels was torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine, the United States
would regard the act as most flag
rant violation of the rights of human
| ity, the principles of international
law and assurances given by Germany
regarding the conduct of submarine
warfare.

RURAL MAIL BOXES
IN Dad CONDITION
SAYS POSTMASTER

In speaking of the installation of
the new motor route A, and some of
the conditions along the rural routes
Postmaster Ben S. Hancock said
Monday that in many cases VIOLA
tons of the postal regulations are 50
fragrant that good service is about
impossible.
Mr.. Hancock made trip over part
of the new route, listing violations of
the regulations and said that the con-
ditions of the boxes should be rem
edied at once to facilitate service and
guard against mistake.
In speaking of his trip, and the re-
suits of the investigation to The Jour
nal Monday the postmaster said that
one of the first requirements of the
postal regulations is that the name
of the owner of the box and all per-
sons served from it must be marked
plainly, so that no confusion would
result in case a driver unfamiliar with
the patrons, should be forced to carry
the mail.
In the first instance Mr.. Hancock
said, that all boxes should be regula-
ton size and shape, and made from
metal, the box painted one color, the
small signal flag another color. In
| addition to the name of the persons
| served the number of the box should
be marked in full view of the driver
so as to make double check on the
delivery.
Continuing, Mr.. Hancock said few
of the boxes were originally good for
mail, but that many of them have
been allowed to deteriorate, and the
tops off, bottoms out. locks broken
and generally unfit for service
These he said would have to be plac-
ed in good condition before the de,
partment could render the best ser.
vice, and urges all patrons of the
rural route "a" to remedy the condi
lions as soon as possible.

warfare againgt the disease.

warfare against the disease.
Practically all that is known about
infantile paralysis has been learned
through experiments on monkeys il
laboratories of the medical world.
Monkeys do not contract this par
ticular disease, but in some ways they
are so much ike man they offer the
greatest chance for experiments.
There are other diseases to which
the monkey is just as susceptible as
human beings. Many contract tubeY-
culosis and pneumonia.
There are many paralytic diseases
similar to infantile paralysis that are
known to occur among monkeys, but
infantile paralysis is peculiar to man.
Years ago it was demonstrated that
infantile paralysis could be transmit
ted from monkey to man by the bite
of stable fly.

FERTILIZER FACTS

There is still demand in parts Of
the millde west for the very low grade
III fertilizer. 1t is so called be-
cause it contains l per cent ammonia,
Z per cent available phosphoric acid,
and / per cent potash, every buyer
knows, or should know, that no fac
tory can buy fertilizer material so low
in plant food. A richer material must
be bought and mixed with some mere
filler or make-weight. If the user
really needs such low-grade fertiliz-
ers, he can save the cost of bags,
work of bagging, and freight charges
on shipments besides his own work
of hauling, if he will do just what the
factory does-buy some rich fertilizer
and mix it with soil or some other
make-weight. While the cost per
ton of this very low grade fertilizer
seems low the cost per pound of plant
food is very much higher than if it
were secured in a. more concentrated
form of high-grade fertilizer. Those
who wish suggestions for home-mix-
ing of fertilizers are always gladly
directed by the Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Columbia, Mop. F.

riculture.
