COUNTY
FARMERS WHEAT RECORD


Just one failure in 50 years of con-
tinuous wheat growing is the record
of the Maple Valley farm in Jeffer-
son County, Ohio. An average of 25
bushels per acre each year for 80
years is the yield record on the same
farm. George E. Scott, the owner,
sums up his methods of growing
wheat as follows: Good tillage, ma
nures, clovers and commercial ferti-
lizers. Leave out any of these poten-
tial factors and the loss is ours. Our
only failure to get a good crop was
in 1884. With US the use of high
grade commercial fertilizer insures
US good crops throughout our regular
rotation. When farmers get away
from the old slipshod method if the
past, they will soon double their
yields"

The dawn Of 1917 comes up blood

PITCHING HORSESHOES

Pitching horseshoes bids fair to
rival baseball among the natives of
Santo Domingo, who have taken to
this old time sport with wild enthu-
siasm, according to United States Ma
rines just returned here from the is
land republic. Horseshoe fiinging is
a daily habit and the keenest rivalry
exists among the leaders, who, follow
ing the custom Of Uncle Sans prote-
gees everywhere, take readily to all
American games, introduced by the
"Soldiers of the Sea-"
Since the American occupation the
Dominicans have developed many
promising devotees to the national
game, but the majority of the ma
tives prefer the more leisusely pastime
of making "dead-ringers" beneath
the palms to rounding the bases under
a tropical sun.

MUSIC ROLLS QUICKLY MADE
Useful Machine Designed Especially
for the Use of Retail Dealers
Recently Put on the Market.

Designed especially for the use of
retail dealers, "A compact machine that
perforates music rolls for use in play
er pianos is being introduced. The ap-
paratus Is described In the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. 1t is capable of
making from one to 10 records at a
time from sheet music. and will also
turn out copies of any standard roll
Its operation is said to be so simple
that satisfactory work can be done by
persons who are not musicians. The
particular advantage of the machine
seems to be that 1t enables a small
dealer to fill his customers orders
promptly without having to carry n
large. expensive stock. 1t also obvi
ates the inconvenience that confront
patrons when special orders have to
be mailed to a factory before their
wants can be supplied. Since 16 sheets
can be perforated simultaneously, a
dealer In making n roll to order has an
opportunity to add IS records to his
stock with no expense other than the
bare cost of the paper and spools.

President Tells Congress of Sew

Relations.
REclTEs kAIsER's PROMISES
Says He Refuses to Believe Subma-
rlnes VIII Commit Overt Acts
Against American Lives
and Ships

Washington, Feb. 3.-President Will
con this. afternoon addressed a joint
session of congress. outlining the
, events that led up to the diplomatic
break with Germany. He said:
ITO the congress, February 8. 1917.
Gentlemen of the Congress:
''The Imperial German government
on the 31st of January announced to
this government and to the govern
ments of the other neutral natioas
that on and after the 1st day of Febru-
ary, the present month, 1t would adopt
a policy with regard to the use OF
submarines against all shipping seek
Ing to pass through certain designated
areas of the high seas to which II is
clearly my duty to call your attention.
Let me remind the congress that
on the 18th of April last, in view of
the sinking on the 24th of March of
the cross Channel passenger steamer
Sussex by German submarine, with
out summons or warning, and the con-
sequent loss of the lives of several
citizens of the United States. who
were passengers aboard her, this gov
ernment addressed a note to the I'm
perlal German government In which 1t
made the following declarations:
If 1t still be the purpose of the i'm
perial government to prosecute relent-
less and indiscriminate warfare
against vessels of commerce by the
use of submarines without regard to
what the government of the United
States must consider the sacred and
indisputable rules of international law
and the universally recognized die
tates of humanity. the government of
the United States is at last forced to
the conclusion that there is but one
course 1T can pursue. Unless the Inn
perial government should now and i'm
mediately declare and effect an aban-
donment of its present methods of
submarine warfare against passenger
and freight carrying vessels. the gov
ernment of the United States can have
no choice but to sever diplomatic re-
lations with the German empire alto
gether.'
The Elbert County tribune., 1917-02-09
Recalls Assurances Given
BY Germany.

''In reply to this declaration the i'm
perial German government gave this
government the following assurance: !:
The German government is pre-
pared to do its utmost to confine the
operations of the war for the rest of
its duration to the fighting forces of
the belligerents, thereby also assuring
the freedom of the seas, a principle
upon which the German government
believes. now as before, to be In agree
ment with the government of the
United States.
"'The German government, guided
by this idea, notifies the government
of the United States that the German
naval forces have received the follow
Ing orders: In accordance with the
general principles of visit and search
and destruction of merchant vessels
recognized by international law, such
vessels, both within and without the
area declared as naval war zone,
declared as naval war zone, shall not
be sunk without warning and without
saving human lives, unless these ships
attempt to escape or offer resistance
But it added, 'neutrals cannot
expect that Germany, forced to fight
for her existence, shall, for the sake of
neutral interests, restrict the use of an
effective weapon If her enemy is per-
mitted to continue to apply at will
methods of warfare violating the rules
of international law. Such u demand
would be incompatible with the char
acter of neutrality, and the German
government is convinced that the gov
ernment of the United States does not
think Of making such a demand,
knowing that the government of the
United States has repeatedly declared
that 1t is determined to restore the
principle of the freedom of the seas,
from whatever quarter it has been vio-
lated
