PRESS CENSORSHIP
Efforts to Modify Espionage Bill
Are Defeated.

Washington, April 21.-The senate
recorded itself in favor Of press CEN
sorship during the war.
A censorship clause of the adminis.
tration's espionage bill, after decided
modification, was retained in the bill
by vote Of AZ to rs, in which parti-
san division was disregarded. The
vote came after three days Of sharp
debate and was regarded as definitely
forecasting final retention of the cen.
sorship provision.
Speaking for his amendment pro-
viding that actual or intended acts Of
treason may be brought to the atten-
tion or United States judges OF com.

WHEN TO PLANT POTATOES

Early planted potatoes have gener
ally yielded the heaviest in tests made
at the Ohio Experiment Station, al
though gardeners say loss will result
from paintings made before the wealth
er is fairly well settled and danger
of frost past. In the region of north
are considered most suitable. On the
experiment station farm at Wooster
yields of potatoes have gradually fall
len off from seed planted after about
the middle of May. In the latitude of
southern Ohio tubers may be planted
the last week in April

TREAT SEED POTATOES
FOR SCAB AND ROSETTE

Soaking seed potatoes for " hours
in a solution of ounces of corrosive
sublimate mixed in 80 gallons of water,
or for 2 hours in solution of 1 pint
of 40 percent formaldehyde (formalin)
mixed in 80 gallons of water will con-
troll scab and rosette diseases, accord
ing to specialists at the Ohio Expert
ment Station. The potatoes should be
soaked before cutting, and if not used
soon afterward should be spread out to
dry. Sacks or crates used for hand
ling or storing treated potatoes should
be disinfected with the same solution.
The corrosive sublimate is deadly
poison and should be kept from chill
dren and animals.

DIXIE" UNSUITABLE
AS NATIONAL AIR, SAY SEVERAL
NEW WORKERS

Musical and literary New York al
mire the tune OF Dixie" but believe
it is unsuitable as a national song, ac-
cording to the New York Times OF
Thursday which carries interviews
with litterateurs and musicians Of
Gotham.
Objection to the congressional
measure to make Of Dan Emmetts
immortal song a national air seems to
be summed up as follows:
1t is too difficult to sing.
1t lacks majesty and impressive
ness.
1t is too sectional,
Its words are unsuitable.
Among those interviewed by The
Times were Victor Herbert. Prof.
Brander Matthews, Daniel Gregory

PRICES FOR EAR CORN
DEPEND ON MOISTURE

In view of the shrinkage of ear corn
in storage, the price per bushei must
increase as the season advances or
loss will result from such storage. By
experiments covering six years the
Ohio Experiment Station has found
that corn worth 81 a bushel in Novem-
Der is worth about $1.25 the next
August, because during this period it
loses about 20 percent of its moisture
by evaporation.
The amount of shrinkage during a
year depends largely upon the condi-
ton of the corn in the fall Corn has
reached its maximum shrinkage Au-

WORK AS PATRIOTIC
AS ARMY SERVICE
Four Novel Schemes, With
Camp-Life, Are
Proposed

To lay the foundation in Knox
county for the mobilization of what
is known as "The Agricultural Army
of America" G. d. Douglass, travelling
freight agent of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, spent Friday in the city in
conference with Freight Agent f. G.
Hadley, Secretary Leroy G. Mayer of
the Chamber of Commerce and Supt.
F. C. Zemer of the public schools.
A farm labor bureau has been es-
tablished by the B. & O., the sole pur-
pose of which is to stimulate the pro-
duction of foodstuffs at all points
along its lines. One of the first steps
in this plan is aid in supplying the
farmers with sufficient labor to assist
in the care of growing crops.
To obtain this information, blanks
have been printed and distributed
among farmers along the railroad
line. These have the name of the
farm and address, the distance from
the station to the farm, the number
of acres, number of farm hands want
ed. rates of pay for men and when
they can be used to the best advan-,
tage. Farmers who have not received
these blanks may obtain them from
Agent Hadley or Secretary Mayer, as
supplies have been left with these in
dividuals.
In distributing labor into localities
where it is most needed, the B. & o.
has four plans in mind. They are as
follows:
The mobilization of the labor party
under tent in the locality where Ia
Dor is most needed and the distribu-
tion of the men from given
!. point. Farmers can make a
contract for the men and use
them each working day in the week,
at certain rate per day, for speci-
fled time.
The encouragemen of the Spend
your vacation on farm" idea which
was put forth at the recent meeting
of the Mt. Vernon Chamber of
2. Commerce. BY this means,
shop and Office men of the
cities will live outdoors in tent and
the life will be as much an innovation
to them as help to the farmer.
The utilization of boys Of IA years
or older under the direction of good,
public-spirited teacher who
3. will supervise a camp and see
that the boys help on the farm
six hours day at least. Girls could
look after fruit or small vegetables.
The last plan is now in operation
in many places. Traction engine COM
panies supply engines for
4. plowing the ground which is
being planted with vegetables
| by people who are eager to help in re-
ducing the high cost of living.
| The man or woman, boy or girl,
who pitches in and helps create food
supply for the country is doing just
as patriotic a thing, believes Mr..
| Douglass, as the one who shoulders
a gun.

this newly bold beggar found him
self driven to Christ. All, that made
1t worth while to be an outcast. Some
persons, even of those who have re-
ceived most signal benefits from the
Saviour, do not really find Him until,
in turbulence and distress of soul,
they are forced to fly to Him for ref
uge. Bitter as seemed the fate of the
prosecuted man, who was one of the
first to suffer for Christ's sake, it was
means to fuller knowledge, larger
life. No price is too high to pay for
finding Christ; and many there be
who have found Him in the stress of
soul who would never have known
the fulness of His personality and
power had they remained unshelter-
ed from persecution. This is but one
of the aspects of the blessedness of
persecution. For the blind beggar en-
tered into the goodly company of
those who have not only received
favors from Christ's hand, but who
also have entered into the secret OF
real fellowship with Him. Once he
had been blind even to the beauties
of earth, but now his eyes had been
