crops. wrote the F. s. Royster

received this reply:
"For corn on good land use
acid phosphate. On a thinner
land, use fertilizers containing a.
bout 1O per cent. phosphoric &C.

such as Registers Ovation Brand

For potatoes, use Registers

advantage. Potash is SO high
and scarce this year that it
should be used very sparingly.

Preparations Are Talked Over n

Washington.-The American Gov.
ernment has decided upon sweeping
measures to be put into effect, follow.
ing the expected declaration by Con.
gress son after 1t meets April 2, that
q state Of war exists between the
United States and Germany.
Fully appreciating Germany's Doll.
cy Of acting in war hrst and talking
afterwards. the Government has dc.
termined to provide against every
possible emergency.
Questions involved were discussed
at a Cabinet meeting, to which heads
OF departments carried reports on pre-.
parations already made and others
contemplated.
Regretfully the Government appar.
emily has decided that since Germany
is making war upon the United States
through ruthless killing of Americans
and destruction of their ships. the
issue must be met with steps much
more far-reaching than mere attempts
to protect individual merchant craft.
Once state of war is declared to ex.
LIST, aggressive measures are expected
to be taken.
AS outlined after Fridays Cabinet
meeting. the preparations of the Gov.
ernment are not to be for a short war,
or war marked by halfway meas.
ures. A complete program has been
prepared so that everything will be
carried out in a systematic manner.
The exact measure Of American par.
ticipation in the war Is not expected
to be revealed until after the Presi.
dent addresses Congress and until
public sentiment crystalizes.
Whether an army will be sent
abroad is left to the future. But this
possibility is being taken into con.
sideration, and the Government pro.
poses to be ready for 1t as soon as
practicable.
Detailed plans requiring Congres.
sional action are expected to be COM
plete when Congress meets April 2.
Prior to that time. the Democratic
and Republican leaders will confer

PROMINENT ENGLISH ACTOR PLAYS LEADING
 ROLE IN BiG PICTURE
Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree Leading Man in Triangle Feature '"The Old Folks at Home"

One of England's greatest present day actors and one of Americas most successful present day authors coE- tribute their joint efforts toward the making of The old Folks at Home, Triangle drama to be seen at the Orpheum theatre again tonight
 Sir Herbert Beerholm Trees first screen appearance was in Macbeth" which was filmed at the Triangle fine Arts studio in California several months ago. Following this perform ance, which has been termed by many critics the finest characterization of a Shapespearean part yet seen on the screen, Sir Herbert returned to New York, where he appeared at the New Amsterdam theatre in a number of plays from his repertoire.
 But again the call of the film came through the Triangle and again Tree iourneyed to Los Angeles. Much time had been consumed in the selection oi a vehicle for his talents and the choice had finally fallen on "The Old Folks sil Elu4hC. d StOIl NIlilCh uy hupGIL Hughes. noted as a writer of short stories and novels, and also as a play wright, the extremely successful farce Excuse Me- being product of his pen.
 The choice was well made, for the part of John COburn, rugged and stern, father of the old school, who needs to see his son in direct peril in order to realize his real duty to the boy, is one remarkably adapted to both the personality and art of the veteran actor
 The theme of the play is parental love, and the story gives Tree and the leading members of his supporting cast opportunities for excellent emo tiOnal work. The cast includes Jose phine Crowell as Mrs. Coburn, Elmer Clifton as the son, Mildred Harris as the latter's sweetheart and Lucille Younge in siren role. Chester With ey directed the play.
