DANIELS MAY SEEK THE

Washington, March I8.-Secretary
Daniels is considering the ACCESSIBILITY
OF securing the personal cooperation

aging editors OF leading newspapers III
his effort to prevent publication Of
military information relating to the
arming and sailing of American mer-
chant craft
There have been several instances
recently where publication. OF details
of arming and armament of merchant
men has created uncasiness in the
navy department. Some newspapers
have published departure of ships in
the European trade despite the sec
retary's appeal to the patriotism OF the
press to prevent such publication.
Mr., Daniels feels that the publica-
tions which have attracted his attcn-
ton appeared through misundcr-
standing of what specific information
he desired suppressed Although III
his appeal he referred specifically to
the movements of American ships he
believes there is equal reason for CON
ccaling those of any vessel entering
or leaving American ports engaged in
the transatlantic trade
He hopes that in a personal confer
ence with managing editors all misdn-
derstandings can be cleared up and a
working agreement established

FOOD, FEED, AND FERTILITY.
From the Southern Cultivator.

Food, feed and fertility are the
foundations of safe farming, according
to the United States Department OF
| Agriculture. a circular sent to farm
ers, bankers and business men in cot
ton territory by the Chief of the Of
fee Of Extension Work in the South
says: Let us feed the people, feed the
live stock, and feed the soil When
we have done these three things, then
raise such acreage in money crops as
we have the labor to tend"
The circular points out that the true
value of cotton to the farmer is to
great extent the amount of food and
feed that it will purchase. The price
of cotton has risen, it is true, but so
has the retail price of all other farm
produce. by growing all cotton"
says the author. "and exchanging it
for living you are simply swapping
high-priccd product produced by
your labor for high-priced product
produced by the labor of the other
fellow. When you fO,-ow safe farming,
however, you produce your own food
and feed at cost and sell your cotton
for the other fellows dollars"
Safe farming is defined in the cir
cular as including these items:
% A home garden for every family
on the farm, from onc-tcnth to one
fourth acre. well located we'll titled,
Hnd tended as carefully as any other
crop on the farm, planted in rotation
to umc iac vegetable crops So as to

THE STIMULANTS
= = - y

A stimulant is something which
people take to increase their voltage.
Some people have too little natural
voltage that they have to fire up on
stimulant about five nights week,
after which they are able to get home
with the aid OF a picket fence and
nineteen telephone poles.
There are several kinds OF stimu-
lants, all OF which serve useful pur-
pose. The old-fashioncd stimulant
known as sound spanking has kept
more boys out of the reform school
than all the moral precepts of the
ages. The moral precept is all right,
but il does not seem to reach the spot
with so much thoroughness as a con
scientious spanking mixed with short,
bristling words OF admonition. Many
a boy has been stimulated into giving
up profanity after his mother has
rinscd out his mouth with wood ashes.
Nearly all stimulants have the fac
ulty OF giving out at a critical juno
turc and demanding more rope.
