ASKS WILSON TO GO SLOW
Senator Hitchcock Fears Woodrow
MIGHT Go Too Fast.

WASHINGTON, D. C. = Senator
Hitchcock held long conference with
the President at the White House He
reported that the sentiment back in
the west strongly favors going slowly,
Hitchcock leans to the view tha
congress should now limit itself to
approving an armed neutrality course
and providing means for preparing
this country for further eventualities.
Hitchcock did not presume to report
President Wilson's views. He indi-
Gated, rather, that the President still
has an open mind as to the form of
resolution he will ask from congress.

SEND TROOPS To
FRANCE, URGED
War Members Of Cabinet Plead
Its Moral Worth.
C'ADOO LEADING PROPONENT

"Return Visit of Rochambeau," Is slo'
gan-President Hasn't Written His
Message for April 2 Yet-ReceiVing
Advice from Many Sources-StiIl
Has "Open Mind"
WASHINGTON The war par
ty in the Presidents cabinet and sew
eral leading members of the senate
Republicans as well as Democrats
will be successful, they believe, in dis
patching a small army to France very
soon after congress meets.
Fighting side by side with the
French and British troops on the west
ern front the American troops-even
if they numbered no more than a
brigade which is the present plan
would have a tremendous moral effect
not only on the French, but even upon
the Germans.
The war party in the Presidents
cabinet, which is headed by the way
by William G.. McAdoo, secretary of
the treasury, and son-inIaw of the
President, says that an American
brigade can be sent abroad and that
all possible pressure will be brought
upon the President to take such &C
ton, no matter what the verbiage or
the form of the resolution finally pass
ed by congress. 1t may be only the
declaration of state of war, but even
then it would be the Presidents duty
to use what power and all practical
means to defend the country.
There is tremendous support here
in Washington for the proposal to
send an American army to France.
The slogan is return Rochambeau's
visit"
1t is plain that the momentous mes
sage which the President is expected
to deliver to the new congress April
2 will not be prepared until just be-
fore it is delivered. The President
will frame his history making address
with the full record before him, and
after full discussion with all of his
advisers.
Meantime, congressional leaders
will form tentative plans to act
promptly and effectively along any
line the President may suggest. Chair
man Flood and Democratic members
of the foreign affairs committee began
the preparation of tentative resolu-
tons to meet any suggested action.
These included a measure declaring
war against Germany without further
eQuivocation, a resolution declaring
the existence of state of war and
placing the resources of the govern
ment behind the President to meet
the situation and a resolution endors-
ing the Presidents armed neutrality
program and providing for complete
preparedness.

WHISKEY BAN SAVES
MORE CORN FOR FEED

Sixty million bushels of corn are
saved to the food supply Of the nation
this fall because the government has
stopped the use of corn in the produc-
tion of whiskey.
According to government figures
the nation will have 110,000,000 more
bushels of corn for food this year than
it had last because fall pasture this
year has been much better than it was
last year, when the fall drought made
the feeding Of corn begin the middle
of August. This will mean the saving
of easily 110,OO0,00O bushels. It is
not so gratifying to note that there are
5,500,OO0 fewer hogs being fed now
throughout the nation than at this
time year ago.
There was a remarkable increase
last week in the export shipments Of
oats.

LOOKS like PRICE
OF MILK WILL SOAR

That milk is going up in Ohio is
generally believed by most dairymen
and others who are in a position to
know present conditions of the bust
ness.
It was unqualifiedly asserted as a
fact y H. w. Ingersoll of Elyria, pres
ident of the Northern Ohio Milk Pro-
ducers' association in Columbus last
Friday, where was being held the Sec
ond annual dairy market conference of
the United States.
Word of conditions forecasting a
substantial increase of present retail
prices was brought from different Sec
tions Of the state, the outstanding de-
velopment being direct reports of pro-
ducers selling off cows by thousands
because Of inability to get efficient la
Dor, high cost of feed and uncertainty
about prices.
Ingersoll bore on. his statement of
cows being sold by declaring that he
himself is selling eleven and that thru
northern Ohio counties and the Cleve-
land district other farmers and pro-
ducers are doing the same thing on a
larger scale.
A state milk association official from
Cincinnati substaniated Ingersolls re-
port with the assertion that $4,000
cows were recently offered for sale
through northern Ohio sections.
"The whole thing is question of
COSTS" said Ingersoll. "The consum-
er is perfectly willing to pay fair
price for his milk if he definitely un-
derstands the cost and other matters
pertaining to milk production.
Something definite on cost and a
real understanding Of the situation
will in itself help keep prices down. 1t
is the best thing in the end for the
consumer as well as the producer"

JEFFERSON'S ADVICE

Thomas Jefferson's advice to tn
young men of his day may well b.
needed by young men in these 2Otl
century days who hope to travel tn
highway of success and happiness
Says the writer of the Declaration O
Independence:
Give up money, give up fame,
give up science, give up the earth
itself and all it contains, rather
than do an immoral act. And never
suppose that in any possible situa-
tion, or under any circumstances,
it is best for you to do a dishon-
orable thing, however slightly so
it may appear to you. Whenever
you are to do a thing, tho it can
never be known but to yourself,
ask yourself how you would act
were all the world looking at you,
and act accordingly. Encourage
all your virtuous positions, and ex-
ercise them whenever an oppor-
tunity arises; being assured that
they will gain strength by exer-
else, as a limb of the body does,
and that exercise will make them
habitual.
