DEMAND FOR FARM HANDS.

Demands for laborers for farm work
are being received daily by the en-
ployment bureau and as the spring
planting progresses the demand is get
ting greater. The bureau has offices
in every part of the country. and it
will endeavor to reach out through its
various channels to enlist the many
thousands of unemployed men who
serve the country by working on the
farms.
This service, officials say, is just as
patriotic as serving in the army. be-
cause the necessity of large crops in
war times is just as essential as a
large army.
The record breaking prices for
wheat hogs and other foodstuffs be-
ing obtained daily on the Chicago
market" said one official lis likely to
continue unless the 1917 crop produc
ton is increased and it should be the
patriotic duty of every American to
work toward that end in these trying
times"

Hollweg Made Poor Case for
Germany in His Reichstag
Speech, According to the
View Generally Expressed
at Washington.
UNIVERSAL SERVICE
SENTIMENT GROWING
Pacifist Element in Congress
Will Be Smothered by
Patriotic Wave and the
President Will Be Sup
ported to the Last Ditch.

Washington, March 3d.
Only actual war was talked
here generally today. Chan
cellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg clinched the idea. Pres
ident Wilson and his cabinet,
booked for a late AFTERNOON
session, were expected to
shape the last details Of
what will mean the entry of
the United States into the
conflict, in some fashion to
be decided by congress.
COMPLETES MESSAGE.
President Wilson has completed the
first tentative draft of his war mes
sage" to congress.
Throughout the morning, excusing
himself from all callers, the president
worked on the message in order that
1t might be in definite shape for dis
cusslon by the cabinet this afternoon.
The cabinets view of the situation
was outspoken and frank Several
members expressed their belief un-
qualifiedly that a state of war between
the United States and Germany has
existed for some time"
One member described the situation
picturesquely when he said: TT is a
state where a mad dog must be stop
ped from further biting"
PRESIDENT GUARDED.
Following the custom he always pur-
sued after completing work upon some
important matter. the president then
went for long automobile ride, before
meeting with his advisers.
Guarded by two motorcycle police
men and the usual secret service en-
tourage, the president with Mrs. Will
son, drove down the road which bord-
ers the Potomac river Now and then
they passed groups of soldiers guard
ing the different bridges. Salutes
were exchanged between the soldiers
and the president.
WARLikE ASPECT.
Washington, in spots, assumed an
atmosphere of real state of war.
No official, as the cabinet went into
session at 3: 80 o'clock. would talk on
what the president would say or the
foremost features of his message.
However, it is thought he will ask
congress to acknowledge that a state
of war now exists between the United
States and Germany
At the same time the belief Is strong
that the president also may express q
profound hope that the nations of the
world now involved in the greatest
struggle of history, will soon be able to
bring about a lasting peace.
HoLLWEG'S SPEECH WEAK.
Hollweg, considered defiant. weak
and misleading in his arguments, swept
aside all doubts in the minds of inter-
national experts that President Wilson
will make a forceful demand upon con-
gress for America to play a full part
in the struggle. That Hollweg had
made a poor case for himself and his
nation was the general view

WATERING Plants Drop by Drop.

Lucien Daniel, a French botanist, has
made some experiments with cabbages,
,chicory, lettuce, etc., which prove that
they thrive far better by system Of
continuous watering than by drench-
ing the soil thoroughly every other day.
The new method, which is simplicity
itself, depends upon the law of capil-
larry attraction. As presented to the
Academy of Sciences in Paris it con-
sists Of placing near each plant large
mouthed jar containing water, in which
is dipped one end Of strip of linen
or cotton whose. other end lies near the
plant. Mr.. Daniel determined the ex-
act amount of water required by any
given plant for its best. development
and proved that in general this unin-
terrupted supply of water, drop by
drop, gave infinitely better results than
the usual method Of intermittent
drenching and with minimum ex'
penditure Of water.-Literary Digest
