Next Years Wheat Crop

In writing for the Pennsylvania
Farmer, Mr.. H. NJ. Anderson says
that the seed-bed, the condition of
the seed wheat and fertilization are
the factors which will decide next
years wheat crop.
ITO get an ideal seed-bed for
wheat" says Mr. Anderson. we
should plow early, harrow and roll
thoroughly, and then harrow as soon
as the ground is fit to work in after
all rains; this to build up the mois-
ture content of the soil. 1t is posi-
BILE to accumulate a great deal of
moisture in this way even during
very dry seasons, and wheat seeded
under these conditions almost in
variably finds plenty of moisture.
Another important factor in grow
ing a good crop of wheat is the seed
that you SOW.
4 have found that very thorough
cleaning and grading of the seed
wheat will increase the acre yield
several bushels, and that it is one of
the best paying jobs that | do on my
farm.
perhaps the next most important
factor is fertilization. | find that l
cannot grow even falrlE good crops
of wheat without the use of CONNER
cial fertilizers. Not that l have ever
tried TO do so, but l sometimes see
where one end of the fertilizer box
got empty near the end of the return
trip, and it surely looks as though
money spent for fertilizer was mo-
ney we'll invested. 1t has been quite
Il problem to get what you want in
the way of fertilizers for the past
two years, but it is now problem to
get anything at all in that line.
"Fertilizing ingredients are now
up about so per cent. above the
spring prices, but | am sure that it
would be false economy to decrease
the application of fertilizers at this
time. We should bear in mind the
fact that wheat has been selling at
more than double the normal price,
and the next twelve months Will
probably establish new high rec
ord. Even the crop that we plant
this fall should bring at least double
the normal price. Fertilizers have
not doubled in price yet, so, relative
ly speaking, such forms of fertility as
are still obtainable are comparative
ly cheap"

Abusing Free Speech

Before our nation enters a war it
is perfectly proper to discuss the wis
dom of going to war, but the discus
sion is closed when Congress acts.
After that. no one should be permit
ted to cloak attacks upon his govern
menJ or aid to the enemy under the
claim that he is exercising freedorI
of speech. No sympathy, therefore,
will be wasted upon those who have
been arrested for unpatriotic utter
ances. They abuse free speech. Ana
this applies to attacks on the Allies
as well as to attacks upon the Uniteo
States. We can no more allow our
Allies to be crushed than we can at
ford to be crushed ourselves. The
defeat of our allies would throw the
whole burden of the war upon US.
We must stand together and fight it
through. There are onry TWO sizes
to a war-eyery American must be
on the side of the United States

| clarence II. Magney was elect
ed mayor of Duluth last Tuesday
over John T. Armstead by a ma
jority of over 1900 votes. It was
the greatest victory any mayor
atty candidate has won in many
years.
The high license ordinance was
defeated by a majority Of 1850
and, after July 1, all legal saloons
will vanish from Duluth.
Fred j. Voss was reelected
city commissioner by a good mar
gin. P. G.. Phillips, a member Of
the Socialist party, was elected
by a majority of about $50. Ed
R. Ribenack and H. H. Phelps,
competing candidates for COM
missioner, went down in defeat.
Over 1900 votes were cast. It
was some campaign and some
election.
There was no doubt as to Mr..
Magney's election at any time.
He took the lead from the very
start and steadily increased it up
to the very end. Campaign
stories of a combination with the
socialists failed to do damage.
Persistent but false statements
that Mr.. Magney was socialist
himself caused some Of the old
hard shells to shiver and shy off
but their fears were more than
balanced by the aggressive man.
ner in which Mr.. Magney's per-
sonal acquaintances rallied
around him and drove home the
lie.
The plain facts are. that Mr..
Magney belongs to nothing ex-
cept his church. He never has
affiliated with any orders. In
politics he has been a republican
but, last November, voted for
Wilson, exactly the same as Mr..
Armstead is credited with having
done. Mr.. Magney voted that
way as a matter. Of conviction,
after careful deliberation, and
not as a result of a deal with
Little Tammany and promise to
be made the next mayor of Du-
luth.
Mr.. Magney is taking his hon.
ors easily. He has a tempera-
ment and training that should
make him a valuable man for the
city. Under that smile, rest as
sured, will be found a strong will
and an infexible purpose to do
-~""+ he thinks best for a major
ity of the people.
Mr.. Armstead put up a hard
fight. He has strength and en-
ergy. He knows the city and it's
voters as few men do. He has
made enough runs for office to
take him out of the rookie ranks.
He must be credited with doing
his very best, which was a great
deal.
But, through all the years and
turns of the political wheel, Mr..
Armstead naturally has made op-
ponents as well as supporters. A
man of his makeup is very right
when right and very wrong when
wrong. In this campaign, past
records and experiences rose up
and smote him sorely.
Then many Of his old political
associates were against him. They
uncharitably called him a turn
coat. His deal with Little Tam
mny, made months ago, hurt him
seriously. His straddle on the
wet and dry issue lost many more
votes. The people did not take
kindly to his declaration that
how a candidate stood was not
for them to question.
The Rip-saw has a most kindly
feeling for Mr.. Armstead as a
citizen and trusts that, very soon,
any grouchiness or soreness will
disappear.

the house tops, Mr.. II. H. Phelps

onto a back seat in campaign
and sectionalism ever has been q
fault in Duluth.
Mr.. Phelps possessed energy
but was not bold and aggressive
in saying in detail exactly where
he stood./ He seemed to fear
alienation of interests that he felt
he needed. Where he saved one
such vote, he probably lost sew
eral others.
Mr.. Phelps possesses ability
and an experience that could
have made him a very valuable
man for the city. But many did
not know his real merits and
others were prejudiced against
him.
Many, if not all, of the social
lists voted solidly for Phillips, a
dry candidate, but failed to vote
for Phelps, the only other dry
candidate.
AS a matter of logic, The Rip
saw advocated the election Of
Mr.. Phelps, the wet nd dry issue
being paramount, but it was i'm
possible to pull him through. He
was the only candidate supported
by the Rip-saw that failed Of elec-
tion.
While Fred ]. Voss did not roll
up the majority that he often has
done, he pulled through with
about 400 votes to spare. The
common people resented keenly
his reactionary votes during his
last four years of office as well as
his brutal treatment of Commits

Fvoted against Mr.. Voss for the
first time in 25 or 80 years. They
probably incurred his lasting en-
nifty but such men feel that their
first duty is to the city rather
than to the man.
Mr.. Voss is unfortunate in be-
ing unable to avoid plying both
local and national politics day in
and day out. He has learned to
grasp the main chance and is we'll

Mr.. Voss's great failing is an

As an official, responsible for

The surprise of the campaign
to the "best people" was the
election Of Phillips, the little
Welsh socialist from West Du-
luth. His victory was the result
of character and reputation and
not to majority adoption of So
cialism by Duluth voters.
Mr.. Phillips has a heart that
beats for the under dog. He is
not afraid of anything that
walks. He hates shams, hypo-
critics and scheming, dishonest
men.
Mr.. Phillips has a personal
platform that calls for the estab-

Germans Grow Fatter
On Semi-Starvation,
Says Medical Journal

London, Sept. 81 -Paradoxical
though it may sound, many Ger
mans have been made fatter by
semi-starvation.
War conditions are blamed for
an outbreak of "oedema" (swell-
ing) disease, unknown in peace
time. Among the civil pop
ulatiOn, says the Lancet, it has af-
fected generally the feet and legs,
but in more than half the cases
studied, some degree of facial
swelling was present. Men were
more affected than women, and
young children hardly at all. the
youngest certain case being IL
years old.
The condition may be taken as
one of the signs of imperfect nutri-
ton due to restricted diet.
