boat nine days from the time the Itasca
foundered, have been brought here by a
steamer from southern ports The
Itasca, bound from Bermuda to New

miles or Bermuda. Capt. W. Harold
Bond of Rockland, Nc. went down with
his ship. His wife was among those
saved.
The survivors. who were rescued
about go miles off Nantucket, had suf-

posture. Chief Engineer Elwen of
Rockwell, Me, died from exhaustion,
and T. Smith of Bermuda, a fireman.
who went insane and drank sea water
when the fresh water supply in their
boat ran out. died on the rescuing ship
soon after he had been taken aboard
Mrs. Bond was almost dead from ex-
haustion and all of the crew were on
the verge of madness from their suf-
fering. The 1tasca, an iron steamship
of 1,416 tons gross, according to ma
rine records, was owned in Mobile, Ala

u. S. PRICE FOR PUBLIC
ON OIL AND GASOLINE

Oil and gasoline refirers meeting here
today with the Federal Trade Commits
sion were told that the government will
insist that the public share in the war
prices which are to be fixed.
The commission already has submit
ted to President Wilson preliminary
cost estimates on which the govern
mont will base prices it will pay for oil
and gasoline needed for war purposes.
Today's hearing was to give producers
an opportunity to submit their case
before a final report is made.
There has been no decision yet as to
whether the government will place oil
and gasoline under control of the fuel
administration or whether 1t will en-
ter into a volunteer price agreement
similar to the steel and copper price
arrangement. Producers. 1t is said. are
for q voluntary agreement.

MUST CRUSH KA|SER'S
WAR MACHINE, HE SAYS
Senator Hale Warns Against Any
Peace Until German Power
Is Shattered.

Senator Hale in speech today
warned against any peace until the
German military machine has been
shattered. Incidentally. he corrected
what he said was an idea that I'VE are
split into radical and conservative
camps and are sparring for petty po-
1itical advantages for this or that camp
at this most critical time in the life of
our nation"
Some people, he said. seem to have
the impression that the new revenue
law is a victory for the conservative
element in Congress, that the progress
sive or radical wing has been turned
down and that the old stand pat ele-
ment in both parties is in control; in
other words, that the great business
interests have won a victory at the ex-
pense Of the people,"
Democracy at Stake.
That idea. he said. was generated by
some of the speeches while the bill was
pending, and is wholly unfair. He said
America had been told that 1t is in
the war for world democracy. but that
it has been sufficiently told that our
own democracy is at stake"
Unless Germany is brought to the
most condign punishment" he said,
her great military machine will not be
given up and her military prestige will
be SUCH that no country will care or
dare to enter into conflict with her I'M
less with the backing of the rest of
the world. and she will inevitably clash
with South America and Mexico and
she would not be content until she has
oyerrun us as she oyerran Belgium and
Poland and tried to overrun France"
Any man. he added, who threatens
all necessary efficiency in this country
in order to help his party or himself or
anything else other than his country
Is not acting for the best interest of
the country.

P|CKETS AT 0CCOQUAN
may LOSE PRIVILEGES
Fewer Visitors Probably Will Be
Admitted and More Work
Required.

Picket prisoners in the District work
house at Occoquan. who participated In
a rough-and-tumble fight Wednesday
in order to prevent one of their number
from being removed to hospital. will
be permitted to receive fewer visitors
and legal representatives in tho future.
This is believed to be the policy de-
cided on at a conference this morning
of the District Commissioners and
members of the Board of Charities,
though no announcement was made
concerning the matters discussed.
Commissioner Bronwlow said that
the situation was gone into thoroughly
and that another conference might be
held. but this probably Will be govern
ed by develoments OF the next few
days.
No Official Statement.
While none of the officials attending
the conference would make any state
ment as to the questions taken up, 1t Is
considered practically certain that the
future policy of the workhouse admin
istration will be to show the picket
prisoners no greater consideration in
the matter of receiving visitors and
counsel than is shown other inmates.
In other words, the rules of the work
house governing this, as we'll as other
matters, will be enforced impartially,
and the picketS viii have no greater
opportunity to talk to outsiders than
other prisoners have.
1t was pointed out in The Star yester
day that local officials who Were in
touch with the situation We're inclined
TO the belief that too much considera-
ton had been shown the pickets and
that this largely was responsible for
their disposition to balk at prison dis
cipline. 1t was stated that SO many
relatives, friends and others have gone
to OccoQuan to visit pickets that much
of their time has been taken up with
conferences, while other inmates were
deyoting their time to work.

Cow Peas W1li Add To VaIue of
 Corn Siiage.

Cow peas added to corn will improve the feeding value of -ilase They may be used to the extent of one-four, h to one-half of the total bulk of silage Not more than that proportion Is prac ticable because of the poor keeping planted with the corn. provided you use a late variety. but a better ad tustment can be made by planting the peas separately, say three weeks tially matured, cut and haul so as to mix one load of peas with one CT two loads of corn as it goes to the silage cutter Soy beans may be grown and used In the same way as COW petts with practically the same results as q feed
 Care in Filing slIo Will Prevent Loss
 Care In the filling of fine silo will prevent loss from spelling The si lsge should be well packed. especial ly around the ourside Water should not be applied unless rhe corn has become too dry and will not pack well. As the safest proposition for the man who k waking the first tris wtth sflsse, he had better use corn and corn only oi a good producing variety. When the art of making silage that will keeE is better understood he can safely try other crops or mixtures.

Why Does Father Forget :?

One of the mysteries of life is the way the average father for gets the dates of the birth of his children. Usually he manages to keep account of his wedding anniversaries, and as a rule the dates of the deaths stick in his mind. But if he has more than two children, he never is sure of
 he dates of their birth. Recent
 y. reporter asked ten business men, picked at random, to recite off hand the dates of the birth of their children. Two knew Three thought they knew, but were not certain. Four knew in a vague way, and could place the dates by months. and one man s memory failed him completely. Takers of city school censuses recognize this failing to such an extent that they seldom try to secure the date of birth from the father if it is possible 10 see the mother. Why is it F?

were eased by the dogs who licked the infected places, but they were not cured. Many modern people employ the same method in their treatment of boils, pimples, rashes, carbuncles, eczema and other skin diseases. They apply a salve or. lotion to the sore places and fondly imagine they have cured them. The important fact which they fail to recognise is, that these skin diseases are diseases of the blood, and that no external treatment can permanently cure them, because they are essentially internal ailments.

CORN FOR S|LAGE
 MEANS MORE MEAT
Good age-Garden Work For May.
By Dean Martin Nelson, College of
 Agriculture, University of
Arkansas.


 Agriculture, University of
 Arkansas.
 There is every indication at the present time that there will be se- rious shortage of all kinds of feed for livestock, and it will pay the far meTs of Arkansas to plan en siiage crops
 Corn the Staple Crop For the Siio.
 The staple crop for the silo is corn Other crops mentioned later are good and may be ased, preferably, with corn No special kind of corn Is nec- essary to make good silage. Any va riety of corn that will produce a good yield of ears as well as stalks is . good silage corn. We want grain as well as stalks and leaves, and the va riety that produces great growth of stalks and very little corn is poor variety for silage We want as large a growth of stalks aS possible with ears in proportion Any large grow ing variety of corn standard for Ar kansas is a good silage corn. See Ar kansas Station Bulletin No 130 for large growing varieties.
 Corn for silage may be Ffantsd . little thicker in tAe row than usual silage corn may be planted at the usual corn planting time, provided the other farm operations permit flh ing the silo when the corn Is sufi- ciently matured. IL is usually practl- cal 10 make a second, later planting in order to fill the siio after the first filling has settled or to prevent sorae of the corn from becoming too ripe before the sflo can be Eled for the year Stage of maturity u important in point of feeding value as we'll as in keeping quality. The r1per the grain the better, but 6lhiag the silo should be done when the corn begins to dent well and the leaves begin 10 dry.
 Sorghum Also Makes Coed Saage.
 Sorghum, preferably ripe, nsay be used for a silase alone, or with corn. It does not actually improve the si lage, but the sugar n the sorghum serves to add some variety to it ae a feed. One-third or onehalf sorghum may be used with corn by planting It in every second or every third TOW in the field Sorghum alone Is srA quently used for sHase with satisfSc, ion. Tho so-calied seeded ribbon cans'' Is large y1ekder and some times produces greater tonnage tksn corn under drouthy conditions. The larger tonnage, when fed to cattle e. casionally gives returns per acre equal to returns from corn silage Ton for ton, corn shage is slightly better feed, safer also in keeping qualities.
 kaffr May Be Used fr Game Way.
 Kafir corn may be nsed for silage tn the same way ss sweet sorghum However, sweet sorghum is to be pre- terred.
