TO WIN BULGARIA
New Russia May Form Separate
Peace With Her.
Effort on Foot Also to Make
Peace With Turkey.

Petrograd, March 27.-The new
Russia may break the grip of the CEN
trail empires in the Balkans-may
even bring about withdrawal of Bull
garia and Turkey from the war, ac-
cording to developments today.
Two moves by the new government
leaders were cited as likely to have
far-reaching effect to this end.
First is the plan of Minister of JUS
tice Kerensky for inter-nationaliza-
ton of Constantinople." Kerensky
agrees emphatically with President
Wilson's dictum as to free outlets to
the sea and with his plan for neutral
ization of such outlets. His friends,
however, said kerneSkys plans went
farther than this and contemplated re-
tention of the Dardanelles and Con-
stantinopIe by the Turks.
Second of the moves was a series of
possible negotiations with the Bulgars
reported in prospect today. Bulgaria.
people are closer than any others to
Russia more sympathetic with their
aims and it is believed they will be
more sympathetic now that the reign
of the Romanoffs is ended.
When Professor Milukoff, now for
eign minister, was eXiled several years
ago to Sofia, he won Bulgarian friend
ship. Later. when he was permitted
to return, he declared in a speech in
the duma that Bulgaria has been I'M
fairly treated in the Balkan war set
tlement.

lister may open the way to definite ne
gotiations along the lines indicated.

HERO REWARD TO DEAD
Navy Commander Puts Up Game Fight

London, March 27.-'For most con-
spicuous bravery and devotion to
duty in the battle of Jutland,
posthumous Victoria cross has just been
awarded Comma nder Lotus William
Jones. The London Gazette, in maxi
ing the announcement says that 'the
full facts have only now been ascer-
tained," which accounts for the long
delay in bestowing the distinction.
The official report states that ION
the afternoon of May 81, 1916, Com
mander Jones in the torpedo boat
destroyer Shark, led a division of de-
stroyers to attack the enemy battle
cruiser squadron. In the course of this
attack a shell hit the Sharks bridge,
putting the steering gear out of order
and very shortly afterwards another
shell disabled the main engine, leav-
ing the vessel helpless.
The commanding officer of another
destroyer, seeing the Sharks plight
came between her and the enemy and
offered assistance, but was warned by
Commander Jones not to run the risk
of being almost certainly sunk by try
ing to help him. Altho wounded in

How to Be a Booster

Now that time for spring work is
near at hand and we farmers commence
TO take stock of our resources, am
once more tempted to jot down my
thoughts; and, If The Record should
print same, you would see some of the
inside workings OF an old farmer while
resting on the shady side OF a stump.
Everybody on our Island should be u
booster. If you have used the hammer
50 long that you do not know how to
be a booster, let me tell You; Clean
out that fence row; fix up and paint
the front fence; put some paint on
your buildings: remove that ugly sign
For Sale" off the front gate: be a
good neighbor and put the line fence
in good shape: put in that extra time
with the hoe and cultivator; put in a
few ornaments and strip of lawn in
the front yard.
Don't add S25 per acre to She price
of your land every time your neighbor
puts in a new fence post. Don't think
you can make stranger believe your
farm is worth 5000 to $1,000 when
he can read all over it that you can't
make living out of it. Don't speak
evil of your neighbor or of yourneigh-
boris place. Don't forget that it is
pluck and not luck that makes COM
munity prosper.
Fix up the farm tools, put them in
good shape spring is here; plan your
field and garden: have tested garden
seed on hand: oil and repair your har-
ness: put in your summers wood: let
the government and the road supervis-
or have chance to work out their
own salvation.
Now, if you will follow this advice,
you viii have your name recorded in
the booster column,
Your friend,
Hay Seed Ben.
