An Unjust Criticism.

The New York World cried out
against Congress as being deficient
in brains because of the DELAY in
passing the CONSUMPTION BILL" The
World is disingenuous, however, in
failing to point out that the delay
was caused most largely by the OPP
position of Democrats to the bill
which their President advocated and
which the Speaker tried to kill. When
Congress convened there was no one
more vociferous than the New York
World in demanding that the Demo-
Gratis must organize the House so that
legislation could proceed along lines
which a Democratic President would
lay down. The Democrats did sue
coed in organizing the House, and the
New York World exulted. Now it de-
cries Congress for it's deficiency in
brains, when the fault is not at all
with Congress as a whole but only
with that part Of Congress which
shares the Democratic politics of the
New York World.

The First Fake of the War.

1t now appears that the statement
in which HowapdzEaSGoffi wxsssnade
to appear sRs ascommop scQld and in
which he berated the American PEG
pie for applying drastically and with
out discrimination the economies
which wartime seems to demand, was
not made by Mr.. Coffin at all 1t was
prepared by George Creel, the civil
ian chairman of President Wilson s
board of censorship, it was "wished
on to- Mr.. Coffin, and given out to
the press. Mr.. Coffin, who is a true
sport in addition to being a member
of the President s national defense
board, stood for it. 1t was only when
the storm Of protest swelled up from
every section of the country that the
truth appeared.
Mr.. Creel's duties on the board of
censorship are to see that the news
papers of the country do not publish
false and misleading news. 1t is sig
nificant that his first public work was
to put out the first fake of the war.

Time To End Sectionalism.

From Washington comes the news
that Claude Kitchin remains insist
ent upon assessing the cost of the
war upon the business interests Of the
country. Perhaps, though, this is
information and not news = for
Kitchin has consistently advocated
the levying of taxes which, as he has
boosted, will have to be paid north of
Mason and Dixon s Line. Hitherto
he has had his way about, it. Now,
however, a different spirit should pre-
vail in the raising of revenue. Money
for the war is not to be spent down
South, nor to provide comfortable
berths for deserving Democrats. 1t
is to be spent in equipping the nation
to fight and in maintaining our fight
ing forces in the cid. This is a ma
tional problem, not sectional or par
tisan one.

Mr.. Root To Russia.

The selection of Elihu Root to
head the commission which we are to
send to Russia brings again into the
active service of the nation states
man and diplomatist of the first rank
Mr.. Root will go to Petrograd with
a message to the new Russian Repub-
lie. 1t is message of brotherhood
and of cooperation and of hope and
helpfulness. No American is better
fitted to deliver such message than
Mr.. Root. His tour Of the Latin
American Republics in the time OF
his occupancy of the Secretaryship
Of State, the speeches which he then
delivered, the Interpretation which
he then gave to the ideals and pur-
poses Of the United States, and the
splendid results which his visit pro-
duced are indicative of the success
which will attend his stay in Russia.
His colleagues in the mission are men
of eminence; but they cannot touch
the imagination Of the leaders of New
Russia as he can-and the President
is to be congratulated both upon hav-
ing selected Mr.. Root for the task
and upon having obtained his consent |
to undertake it. 1t is a good begin
ming, we hope, of policy, too long
deferred, of calling into the nation s
service the best talent which the ma
ton has, instead of combining all the
labor, all the honor, all the credit to
a single political party.

Nine Year Old South Bend Boy
Loses Little Time From School

If more parents would follow the
advice of Mr.. J. M. FELTON,, 116 E.
Broadway, South Bend, Ind, their
children wouldn't lose much time from
school on account of colds. The i'm
portant thing is to treat these troubles
at the first symptom. Keep plenty of
fresh air in the bedroom, and at night
apply good application Of Vick's Vap-
Grub Salve, leaving the covering loose
around the neck, SO the vapors arising
may be inhaled. Mr.. FELTON, gives his
experience as follows,
about week ago our nine year
old boy came home from school
with a cold-pain in his head and
high fever We put him to bed and
applied Vick's VapoRub up his nos
trils and over his chest, then COW
cred with a warm flannel cloth and
in the morning the pain in his head
was gone and in two days he went
back to school and has been we'll
since. VapoRub is the best we have
ever used"

TREATMENT OF WHEAT
Agricultural Agent Kirby, of Chamber
of Commerce, suggests Method
TO Overcome Smut or Burt.

Y ono Of the greatest losses in wheat
cropping lis -caused by smut or bunt.
and many methods to overcome this
damage has been suggested. w. L.
Kirby, recently named agricultural
agent OF the Richmond Chamber of
Commerce, in connection with that or.
Sanization's effort TO assist the farm
erS In the territory adjacent to Rich
mond in every possible way has just
issued statement dealing with tho
treatment of wheat.
Mr.. Kirby's statement is as follows:
: Before subjecting the wheat to the
fungicide bath. pass 1t through fam
Ming mill TO remove light, imperfect
kernels and any smut balls that may
not have been blown out Of the grain
when threshed.
The following is an effective method
of seed treatment:
A tank six feet long, three feet wide
and eighteen inches deep, or some Sim
liar receptacle. should be filled a lit
tie more than half full of a solution
consisting OF one pint of forma ldehyde
TO forty gallons of water. Pour the
grain in and stir with 4 hoe or shovel
in order TO bring to the surface any
smut balls not removed by the tanning
mill After a bath lasting ten to ff-
teen minutes. remove the grain from
the tank. shovel into pile and cover
with bags previously dipped in the solu
ton. The seed may be Sown within
q few hours after treatment, or 1t
may be allowed to remain in the pile
until the following morning This treat
ment will cause considerable swelling
OF the kernel. and for this reason the
drill or seeder should be set to allow
for the seeding of a larger amount OF
seed per acre.
Where the seed wheat Is known to
be free from smut balls. 1t may be
treated in the bag by putting not moro
than bushel in each bag and tying
these we'll towards the top in order to
allow the grain more or less freedom
while in the bath.
Certain growers use the. copper sui
plate or blue stone treatment for pre-
vention Of smut. Under this treat
ment. the seed wheat is subjected to
i've or six-minute bath in solu-
ton consisting of one pound of blue
stone to four or five gallons OF water
The method of handling the grain
while in the bath is like that described
above for the formaldehyde treatment.
except that the seed is dried as prompt
" as possible after treatment, and
may be planted without further delay.
Experience has shown that of the two
treatments here described. the formal
dehyde method is less liable to in
jure the seed.

Tho lack OF spot demand In tho
Interior. tho apparent eagerness of
farmers to realize prevailing prices for
