INTENSE HEAT IS
STILL BURNING CROPS
IN KAISER'S DOMAIN

COPENHAGEN, June 25.-The per-
iod of intense heat continues, accord
ing to reports from Berlin, over the
greater part of Germany. the only
exception being in the western part
of the country. The drouth in Den
mark has been broken by heavy and
prolonged rains.
Berlin on Wednesday experienced
heat exceeded only three times in sew
enty years and then in mid-July. Very
little rain has fallen throughout Ger
many and the Berlin Tageblatt is in
formed there appear to be slight
prospects of change. Extension OF
forest fires is reported in various
parts of Germany, owing to the con-
tinued drouth and soldiers have been
called on to assist in checking them.
According to an authoritative state
ment in the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin,
the protracted heat and dry weather.
following the cold spring have had a
most unfavorable effect on the yield
of fruit and particularly of early vege-
tables, which this year are of special
Importance, owing to the disappear
ance of potatoes. Notwithstanding
the planting of double acreage OF
vegetables compared with peace times
the yield is disappointing. Extra
paintings probably will not result in
any increase in total production.

HOW TO GET

A Simple, Safe and Reliable Way.
No Pain or Soreness

Thanks to a new discovery made
from a Japanese product, women will
soon be wearing smaller and prettier

thing of the past. A new preparation
called Ice-Mint Is said to make any
corn or callous shrivel right up and
lift of easily. Hard corns, soft corns
or corns between the toes can soon

is wonderful. No pain and not bit
of soreness while applying it or after

cutting and trimming their corns and
avoid the risk of blood poison. Sim

Be Canny

Everybody can! Put your spare time into
cans and jars.
Home canning is kitchen patriotism.
Don't have an empty preserving jar in
your neighborhood next fall.
If you have more preserving jars than
you can fill, lend them to neighbor who will
make them work for the nation.
Some neighbor surely can eat or put up
surplus products from your place.
A quart of canned peaches or tomatoes on
the shelf is worth a bushel rotting on the
ground.
See that the shelves in your preserving
closet sag just little this year.
Wedding will seem easy next winter when
Mother serves those home canned string
beans.-U S. Department of Agriculture.

The Sixth District Issue

It is not surprising that Democratic speakers
are endeavoring to Greats the impression that a
member of their party should be elected to Con-
gress from the Sixth District to show that the
people are supporting the administration in it's
war policy. It will be surprising indeed, II intel
ligent Indiana voters are deceived by such flimsy
appeals. The issue is one of men and OF party
principles, and not OF war.
The war is not Democratic undertaking. 1t
involves all Americans and all are and should be
concerned. The Republicans are just as anxious
as are any Democrats to have the war prosecuted
vigorously and to victorious conclusion Inc
Republicans have stood behind the President
even better than have the members of his own
party in Congress. And if Republican candi-
date from the Sixth District, or anywhere else,
has any notion of doing anything else, The Star
hopes he may be defeated.
The Republican party never has been one of
apprehension, and is not now. The most ser
ious opposition with which the President has had
to contend has been from leaders in his own par
ty 1t was Jeff McLemore and Senator Gore,
both Democrats, who were pioneers in the opposl-
tion movement. They tried to get us committed
to an embargo policy in direct opposition to the
Presidents wishes and in violation of olr neu-
trality The President greatly enbar-
raised by their actions that he insisted on having
the embargo measures taken up and killed as a
vote of confidence The Republicans rallied to
his support Loyalty.
Senator Stone. Senator Kirby Champ Clark
and others prominent in the councils of Democra-
cy were ringleaders in the opposition to the Pres
ident's seective draft measure. If the Republl-
cans had not put their shoulders to the wheel he
would have accomplished nothing Even now it
is generally reported in Washington that much Of
the delay and quibbling over the administration s
war measures is due to opposition on the part OF
Democrats who do not dare to come out in the
open; but secretly are half heartedly for war and
are reluctant to do anything to further it.
The issue in the Sixth District is not one OF
electing Finly H. Gray vote of confidence in
the President. Richard N. Elliott may be depend
ed upon to join with other Republicans in Con-
gress in backing the administration to the limit
in the prosecution of the war. The question to be
determined by the Sixth District electors is
whether they think Fnly H. Gray is better man
than Richard N. Elliott; whether they want a
man who believes in the principles of the Repub-
lcan party or would like to return to Mr.. Gray s
theories as represented in his vote for the I'm
derwood tariff and his votes on preparedness.
Mr. Gray was in Congress three terms. The
people of the district knew what to expect from
him. They went on record last November as
wanting change when they elected the late
Judge Comstock to succeed him. The issue again
is one of men and party principles, and none
should be misled by specious arguments about
war; There should be no politics in war.-Ind-
annapolis Star.

"Ouakers and the Red Cross

Henry p DAWSON Chairman of the Red Cross
War Council, said today:
1T has been drawn to our attention, though
we were, of course we'll aware already, that
there are many persons, of the Quaker faith for
example though by no means confined to that de-
nomination, who would gladly contribute to the
Red Cross funds if they would be assured that
their contributions would be used exclusively for
the social and civic relief and reconstruction
work, as distinguished from the military auxil-
larry service, of the Red Cross.
LET there be no hesitation on the part of
such persons whatever may be the conscientious
basis of their computations. Important as is the
service which the Red Cross will render in con-
nection with the Army and Navy we deem even
more important-certainly much greater in vol
ume, diversity and cost-the service of relief,
sanitation and reconstruction. Among the civil
ian populations Of the areas which have been
physically devastated directly by the blast of
war, and still more in the great regions back of

wildered by the upheaval of all that made the

EAGER To MEET

Dodge Brothers Dealers
Drive Hundreds of Miles
in Snow,

1t IS apparent from activities to be
observed around Dodge Brothers
works in Detroit that neither dealers
nor the general public are losing time
in their drive on the commercial car
department Nearly every one Of the
long and constant professions of pas
senger cars which leaves the factory
gates for cross-country runs to the
homes Of dealers IS headed BY one or
more Of the trim appearing CONNER
cial cars on which delivery began
only few weeks ago. The fleets of
cars In this respect are not unlike
the great troop trains OF trucks which
were almost invariably preceded BY
a Dodge Brothers touring car or
roadster when the motor system of
transportation was introduced in the
American army on the Mexican bor-
der.
Drivers usually are eager to be as
signed to the commercial car, for, in
the snow and blustery winds, its warm
curtain enclO sure is comfort not to
be scorned At any rate an emphatic
remark to this effect was made by a
party Of GeO-gians a few days ago
when their arrival from the warm
and sunny south was heralded by the
first snow storm Of the winter. Ow-
ing to the difficulties OF freight car
transportation many dealers from all
sections of the country are meeting
the demand for cars by going to the
factory and driving them through
TO their destinations. This method win
be followed the entire winter, regard
