cheapsr seab plp Approved

Washington, d. C.,-The use of
a weak solution of nicotin in dip.
ping scabby sheep and cattle is ap.
proved in an order issued today by
Secretary of Agriculture. This
dipping solution differs from that
hitherto required, by the elimina-
tion of sulphur.
Changes have been made follow.
ing series of careful experiments
in the effort to cheaper the expense
of one of these substances will mat.
the same time to insure the effect
iveness of such treatment. Due
largely to the heavy requirements
for sulphur in war industries, the
price of this element has greatly
increased. In the dip as formerly
made up, therefore, two compare
lively costly substances were used.
1t is believed that the elimination
of one ofthese substances will mat
erially decrease the cost of this
dip.
In addition to approving the use
of dipping solution in which nj
cotin is the active agent, the Unit.
ed States Department of Agri.
culture also approves the use of a
lime and sulphur solution in the Of
fetal dipping of sheep and cattle
for scabies.

Select Good Seed Corn

Next years corn crop will b.
largel y determined by the seed corn
that is selected this fall. The army
wants only fit men, it selects them
carefully, the same must be done
with seed corn. Planting kerr
mel of corn that will not grow is
like expecting dead men to win
battles. Planting seed corn of
poor termination is both a waste
of time and a waste of land. Now
is the time to make sure of the seed
corn 1t it is not done right all the
other work put OH the corn can not
make up for it.

this week is.
THIS is YOUR RED CROSS;
YOU SHOULD BACK IT UP.
The American Red Cross-your
Red Cross by the way-is the fast
est growing organization in the
world. Today it has quarter of
a million members in the North
west, where it had only few thou
sand five months ago. But it needs
a million, and has room for every
patriotic American.
The Red Cross needs YOU. and
you need it. You aren't 100 per-
cent American until you have join.

time for you to affiliate with tfe
nearest Chapter. If there isn't a
Chapter handy, start one.
1t is just as important in win
ming this war that you, and every
American, join your Red Cross, as
it is for you to buy Liberty Bonds,
be economical in your expenditure
es, and give full loyalty to the Gov
eminent.
Remember, the American Red
Cross, needs YOU but YOU need
it far more.

Amusements
PLAZA

Richard, the Brazen," a screen
feature starring Alice Joyce and
Harry Morey in roles that serve them
admirably is to be given final pesenta-
ton at the Plaza tonight.
The stoy of the play is one that
every man or woman will appreciate.
There is just the slightest element of
mystery, not of the type one associates
with the cheap melodramatic picture,
but enough to keep the working basis
of the plot sufficiently in the back
ground at all times so that interest is
climbing necessarily until the final.
sma shing climax is reached. 4
The second ins1a1lnent of ''The
Fatal Ring" the new Pathe serial
story starring Pearl White, the dare
devil of the movies" is also being
shown with Richard, the Brazen."
1.-THE Battle of the Somme." or
rather, the fifth insta1lment of this
series, completes the screen attrac-
lions which are greatly enhanced by
a beautiful and appropriate music
score.

Two Appeals Filed
From Decisions of
4. Compensation Court

Two appeals from decisions. of Com
pensation Commissioner Edward T.
Buckingham were filed yesterday
morning in the superior court. The
Burns Co. is aggrieved at the decision
of the commissioner in the case
brought by Elizabeth Fails. widow OF
George C. Falls of this city.
Falls was a driver for the Burns Co.
who was killed when his horses be-
came frightened at locomotive
switching freight cars on Seaview
avenue and ran away. The Burns Co.
said the fatality took place during the
noon hour and as Falls wot not eat
ing his lunch at the place where he
was working, he. was not in their en-
ploy then. The commissioner thought
otherwise and gave Mrs. Falls $5.25 a
week for 312 weeks and $100 for fu-
neral expenses.
The otSfer appeal was taken 5y the
Charles H. Kemper Co. of Westport
in the action brought by Margaret
Newman, whose husband was killed
while in, the employ of the firm. The
commissioner allowed her $S05 and
500 funeral expenses. The firm said
the disease which caused his death
had been ts,Eaacted before he entered
their employ.

GERMANY'S BROKEN
PROMISE RESPONSE
Belgians Not Allowed Home
At the End of Four
Months.

Havre France, Aug. 4 - (Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press)-
The Belgian government has received
information to the effect that deport-
ed Belgians working in the Thyssen
works at Mulheim on. Ruhr, declared
that as the Germans had violated
their promise to send them, back
home at the end of four months, they
would prefer to die rather than to
continue. The Germans imposed a
fine of 80 marks each and iInpris6n-
ment for 10 days upon the men.

were deprived of food and 18 of them
were imprisoned at Munster.
The Riebecksche works, employing
Belgian civilians in their mines, de-
prived the men of all nourishment for
five days in order to force them to
work. The directors of this concern
justified their action, saying thatSthe
pTivation was not absolute, but was
necessary in order to overcome the
passive resistance of the ,wofkmen.
Belgian civilians working at the
munition factory at Crosse Wuster-
urtz and at Westfalischewerke were
obliged to transport hand grenades
after having vainly protested against
being put to such work.

proofs that a great many deported

desire to return to Belgium, were not

SUMMER COTTAGES. /"

The time has gone by when wealthy
people are satisfied with one palatial
home. There must be two or very
commonly three, including those at
both summer and winter resorts.
These vacation dwellings are still
somewhat alphabetically called Cot
tages,'' a word that stood originally
for the simplest and barest form of
dwelling.
The summer COTTAGE of the rich
today is more lavish than the town
houses of a previous generation of
wealthy people. The price of the
lot per foot is about what you would
be asked on a business street of a
good sized city. The value is not SO
much given by the view as by the fact
that you get socially elect people as
neighbors.
The original idea of summer cot
tage was to getsthe simple life There
were and still are many wealthy peo-
pie of naturally quiet tastes, who buy
nice old farm houses in secluded To-
cations, decorate them tastefully and

French Rose Takes
Name of War Heroine

Paris, Aug. 4-The "Emilienne

the girl who helped save British
wounded under fire and even Shout,

the Germans from the town in the
great battle which resulted in it's cap

with very large petals and with
foliage of a very deep green.

MILITARY SUCCESS.

The qualities that make one man a
military success and another man a
military failure are rather obscure.
Some of the finest drillmasters West
Point ever turned out have not won
out in actual fighting. They knew
the theory of war out of books, but
lacked power to command.
On the other hand, there have been
Meier do wells who never succeeded in
business, but were great soldiers. Gen.
Grant was somewhat in this class He
was a failure in business, careless in
money matters, becoming involved in
debt, until finally his father took him
out of the wet and rave him a job at
SIS per week. 1t is hard to account
for it, One would think that the man
who was careless in his business,
would display in his army work a
similar carelessness that would be
ruinous.
Yet the minute Grant got command

of battle<to arouse some natures from
their torpor.
