Business as Usual
Some Views From the Local
Field.
PROSPERITY Is ASSURED.
BY Herman D.. Rics.


We beg to report that our business
is increasing over last year. which
was our best previous year. We be-
lieve the outlook for business
throughout the country generally
was never so good as at present. and
especially so in South Bend.
II one would make a casual sur
vey Of conditions generally. one
couldn't but realize that business
must keep up and increase for an
indefinite period. at least so long as
the war lasts and for a considerable
| period thereafter.
We are advised from authorized
sources that the government will
require the greatest possible amount
OF the principal manufactures and
agricultural supplies that this coun-
try can possibly produce. Indications
are that the farmer viii have not
only good crops, but that they will
receive the biggest prices IN the his
! tory of the farming industry in the
United States
Our country is obliged TO feed the
I
and To furnish at the same time the
means OF transporting this vast
amount Of foOdstuffs, in addition 10
which our factories will be worked
TO the utmost in order TO furnish
supplies for millions engaged in the
greatest destructive operations in
the worlds history. At home in South
Bend our factories are clamoring
for more room la bour ard materials.
Our building operations are grow
ing with leaps and bounds. and one
must be a pessimist indeed not to
realize the vast opportunity pre-
senting itself and knocking at our
very doors, for a large business in
every sense Of the word.
The government is spending and
issuing credit in the neighbOrhOOd
of $1,000, OOO.OOO.OO. practically all
of which will circulate through our
own Industries.
True, raw material is somewhat
higher. but there is a considerably
greater demand for more and bet
ter labour and no need for idleness
in any direction, which will more
than make up for the slight addi-
tional cost in merchandise and food
stuffs
Furthermore. 1917 has been ded-
icated TO the elevation of the home,
which means that better homes, bet
ter furnishings. more ideaistic con-
ditions will obtain in the average
American home than ever before, all
of which means better business con-
ditions both industrially and eco
nomically.
II the wage Garner and profession

would realize the exact condition OF
affairs. there would ensue the great
est activity in all lines. resulting in
more prosperous condition for all
concerned than ever before.
| desire 10 take this occasion TO
express my thorough appreciation Of
the series of exceptional editorials
appearing in the recent Sunday edi-
tons of The News-Times.
If our South Bend citizens gen.
orally would only realize the import
ance of buying at home and do so
when possible. il would go a great
way towards lowering their cost OF
| living. reducing taxes and making
for a greater efficiency not alone in
| commercial lines and civic affairs.
but i'm domestic economy besides.

CORNER on ONIONS.

The federal department Of justice has made good
obtaining the indictment eighty-eight
poratons and individuals charged with cooperating in
the monopolistic control OF the country's onions.
The indictments returned at Boston after inquiry
O national scope. accuse defendants OF having
divided the country's markets among themselves
three-fourths of last onion crop. and
forcing consumers To eNoroitant prices The farm
sold their onions price OF less than
two a pound. Last winter CONSUMERS had TO pay
as high ten and hfteen pound. Most OF the
difference the soy eminent charges illegal
control
may observed that the price onions dropped.
This doubtless has much do with the drop
the new crop has. Let the good work 90

Most
Chcaply Applied
With a Sprdye'

The most economical way of using
insect sprays is in some sort Of a
sprayer pump, says today's bulletin
from the national emergency food
garden commission, cooperating
with The News-Times to help those
planting gardens this year for the
first time.
Every good gardener is prepared
10 use sprays IN his garden TO COM
bat the insects which may other
wise make his crop a failure. The
garden may escape, but should the
insect hordes come, the gardener
should be prepared.
A sprayer for scattering insecti-
cides. as the sprays and mixtures
are called, is not an absolute neces-
sity. but il is highly desirs ole for
the gardener 10 have one. The
prices range all the way from soc
to 81 or IS When there are many
small gardens in the same locality.
several gardeners may combine 20
purchase a good sprayer pump, as
one pump is sufficient for several
gardens.
However. if the gardener feels
that he cannot afford 10 buy a
pump. he can apply the sprays in
various other ways. The sprinkling
pot is very wasteful. but its use is
better than not 10 use sprays at all
Before sprayer pumps were invented
whisk brOOms were used 10 sprinkle
on spray mixtures. This method
can still oe followed.
The cheapest sprayers are the
small atomizers. These cost from
soc to SO, and are entirely satisfac-
tory for small gardens. other good
garden Sprayer are the bucket pump
which sells for s4.5O and the small
compressed air sprayer. an imple-
ment which costs from s. 10 sS.50.
These sprayers are supplied by
seedsmen or hardware dealers.
Where poisons are used dry they
should be applied in some sort Of a
sitter. cheap -four sitter does
very well for this. You can also
make a sitter at home by punching
small holes in the bottom OF a tin
can.
In using powdered arsenate Of
lead or any other dry poison. il
should be mixed with road dust or
sifted ashes. Early morning is the
best time for powdering plants
since the dust material sticks better
when the leaves are wet with dew.

CLOSE NORTH SEA
 WITH NETS |S PLAN

A recent number of the Scientific American contains the elaboration by
 J. Bernard Walker of the plan for
 blockading submarine bases by the
 use of steel nets. MT. Walker believes
 it practicable to stretch nets across
 the eastern entrance to the Channel
 and across the North Sea from Scot
 land to Norway, thus penning the i German Submersibles within that area. i Though a task so gigantic would cost in the neighborhood of 50 million dollars, the writer points out that the figure "is less than the total value of ships and cargo sunk by the SUD- marines in a single week of the pres
 ent campaigns
 MT. Walker submits drawing which clearly explains the general features of the scheme. The net itself consists ow a vertical mesh anchored on both sides by mushroom anchors attached to steel cables The top of the net is two hundred feet below the surface and the mesh, constructed from commercial F inch steel rods, is ten feet, it's buoyancy assured by the use of buoyant, spherical contact bombs of a special type, containing
 twenty pounds of INT, each. These
 bombs are fastened to the net at in
  face of the mesh, the net thus con stituting a bomb curtain.
 One mile inside the net and parallel to it stretches a continuous cable an- chored at intervals, allowing plenty of
 slack. To this cable are attached mines calculated to destroy any large enemy
 vessels which might attempt to rush
 the net and cut it. In addition to this
 defense, MT. Walker plans well or
 ganiZed patrol system of destroyers, motor boats and airplanes. To supply the air and water craft great mother
 ships, consisting of converted tramp
 steamers are anchored along the line
 at intervals of fifty miles. Each has nets to protect it from torpedo attack,
 and masts and superstructure are cut
 away and replaced by great plat form to provide landing stafe for
 the air craft.
 "A similar net" MT. Walker adds, I,"at Gibraltar and at the Straits Of Otranto (the mouth of the Adriatic) would effectively block the submarine bases of Germany's allies"

zEBR0|D, HYBRID, JUST PRODUCED, MAY
 SUPERSEDE MULE

Alter experimenting i've years and expending more than $10,000, Dr. w E. Tasting of Indiana, one of the largest stock raisers of the state, has produced new farm animal the Zebroid
 Five years ago, Dr. Hastings went to Hamburg, Germany, where he GreVy zebra from the Hagenbecks. They were brought to this country and placed on his stock farm in Point township. A year later the female was e,' and died. The male grew to good size and now weighs about one 1 thousand pounds. 1 Doctor Hastings, a number of years ago, conceived the idea that a cross of the American mare and a zebra would produce a hybrid superior to i the mule He contended that the zebra would give a bigger bone and it's off spring would be less subject to fat l igue and sickness, that it's tough skin
 would resist the attack of flies and that it's average age would be dou- | bled.
 A mule lives to be 25 years old bur | zebra are known to attain the age of l 75.
 l 1'he government eXperimented with the cross of the zebra and the Ameri- i fcan mare several years dSo anu plo- [ duced one zebroid, but for some req son never continued the experiment.
 A few weeks ago on the Tasting farm
 the second zebroid ever foaled on the
 western continent was born in Point township, Posey county, and Doctor
 Hastingss dream of a bigger and bet
 ter animal than the mule was real ized.
 The Zebroid is beautiful animal.
 The colt stood forty inches at foalins
 time, as compared with thrty-slH
 inches of the average mule colt, and has a grace that can be compared
 only to the gavelle. It's color is q
 0rl chocolate brown with stripes or lighter brown marking it's coat Later
 these stripes will become white, after the fashion of it's sire.

MARRIAGES ARE 0N
 THE DECREASE NOW

The Rev. Dr. Waldo Amos of Hopo- ken, N. J., preaching in Holy Trinity church, Brooklyn, predicted that py 1940 half the women in the country Will be self supporting, and that marriages will gradually decrease in number.
 Tt is a startling fact that young women are not marrying today he said. Hundreds of thousands are go- ing into business. The supreme mis- sion of women in life should be to be- come mothers and to make homes. The objection that many have to being married is that they become depend ents."
 Doctor Amos said that all through New England there are many villages which are known as she villages" The men have left for the large cities in the hope of gaining wealth.
 Men are largely responsible for the failure of women to marry" he said. Many men are too busy making money to marry, or refuse to marry on smah salaries. This has forced women into business.
 Statistics show that in 1900 one out of every five women was self support ing. By 1925 one out of every three. and, by 1940, one out of every two will be self supporting"

COIN SHORTAGE |S
 CAUSED BY SAYING

Shortage of small coins, complained of by some banks, may be due partly to the practice of saving buffalo nickels and the new dimes, bankers believe.
 Many persons have formed the habit of putting away the buffalo coins or the new 10-cent pieces on the we'll established theory that the saver can accumulate considerable sums in this way and yet do it so gradually that he never misses it"
 Bankers said the penny famine probably was due to recently instllied thrift among children. Pennies given them by parents, coins that formerly went back into circulation as quickiy as little feet could flutter to the cor ner candy store, now find their way into the toy bank.

SHEEP RAISING MAY
 CUT COST IF WAR

A Montana man with a good Amer - jean name, Lester Work, has bought 50,000 sheep in Mexico and is to turn them loose in a federal forest reserve section in Montana as soon as they are sheared. How. so many sheep lived through the hungry wars of Mexico is a mystery, but they should be thrifty ornaments in a section of the 700.- 900, 900 acres of government forest reserves of this country.
 At the rate of an acre for. sheep those great acres of forests should pasture 700,000,000 sheep with wool selling for 50 cents and more a pound they should turn profit of at last

Tn 1916 there were fifteen deaths di- rectly due to football. In most cases the victims were members of high school. semi professional, and prairie elev- chs. Only one was a college player. Two of the players suffered broken necks. but a majority died of internal injuries. In 1915 four players were 15 years or under, one being only II years old. Four were r years old while others ranged to 21 years. 1910, nine were physically fit college men, ten were high school and grammar school boys, while eight were occasional play CTS of the game

 That is one of the ways to figure out the millions of dollars for the war bills. The sheep would never make half the objection to such military service as men do. And the way wool sen mills are starting up about this country makes the way clear for all the wool that can be produced. There will not be half enough for the needs of this country during the war period. as has been shown in past wars.

 Baseball heads this fatality list with 2S4," declares the doctor; football is second with 215, auto racing third with l27. boxing fourth with 105.
