TO FIGHT SUBS
Uncle Sam to Build as Many
Destroyers as Factories
Can Turn Out.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Preliminary
steps toward providing the navy with
rs many additional %destroyers as
American plants can turn out were
taken UP by Secretary Daniels today
at a conference with more than a
score of shipbuilders, engine makers
and representatives of other in
dustries.
Information was submitted by the
builders as to what they could do in
the way Of expanded facilities, taxed
to the limit Of their present capacity
with destroyers already under con-
struction. Navy officials will study
the reports and suggest.a definite plan
for the accomplishment Of their pur-
pose, which is to make the United
States first in destroyers, the arch
enemy of the submarine.
The main difficulty is to find facil-
tiles for turning out the engines. To.
days conference dealt largely with
this aspect.
The destroyer has proved itself by
experience the most efficient U-boa'
hunter because of its speed and sea-
going qualities. The mor destroy
ers that can be turned to patrolint
ocean lanes, the greater will be thu
safety of cargo n transports.

The senator had read into the record
an editorial from the Guardian, pub

(which the following verse was given as
an extract from the I. W. W. song
book: n
Onward, Christian soldiers, rip and

Let the gentle Jesus bless your dyna-
mite. 's
Smash the doors of every home, pretty

Use your might and sacred right to

This sort Of diabolical sentiment,
running with unbridled crime Of every
character, up to murder, seems to
typify the I. W. W." commented SEN

WINTER WHEAT
HELP SHORTAGE
STATES FEAR
Lack of Fertilizer Also Felt
by Farmers of the Old
er Localities.

Indianapolis, Aug. 21.-Inability to
get the necessary labor for farm work
and also a lack Of fertilizer, especially
phosphate, are among the principal
obstacles In the way of an increased
winter wheat production in 1918. and
an increase rye production, experts
from Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Michigan. Ohio and Wisconsin told
representatives Of the United States
department of agriculture in confer
ence here today.
In spite Of the obstacles, it was the
consensus Of opinion. however, that
the government program for an in
crease of approximately % per cent
in winter wheat acreage in the six
states and the consequent increase In
yield would be accomplished.
The labor question Is complicated
by the draft for the army and also
the movement Of farm labor to fac
! tories. One suggestion made was a
! census in cities, ascertaining the num-
Der Of men with farm experience, and
then arranging for the factories to
close during the rush of harvest sea-
son. Another was for high schools
and colleges to have shorter terms.
A shortage of good seed in Indiana,
! Kentucky and Wisconsin was men
toned by representatives from those
states.
Davenport Of the University of IL
linois, suggested propaganda to ge,
sheep clubs formed, because, he said
sheep do not require the grain thai
beef and pork animals do and also
the growing Of more potatoes for fooC
as a substitute for wheat.

HOW TO CATCH FLIES.
Tho Best Fly Trap and the Best Poll

and out Of the small end OF the cone,
thereby entering the cylinder. from
which it can find no escape.
One can find such traps anywhere
for sale. But 1t Is easy to make them,
and when homemade they arc just M
good, while costing only fraction OF
tho price.
Such traps, of course, should be set
where the flies most do congregate-as.
Tor instance. on the sunny side OF

When the fly trap is full the insects
are easily killed by immerslng tho trap

Fly paper of tho sticky kind Is

need to buy it. Take two pounds of
rosin and pint of castor oil. Mix
them and heat until the stuff looks like

Is made by putting two tablespoonfuls

half and half of tho two. Put the stuff
IN saucers In places frequented by flies.
A little bread In 1t helps. But take
care that children and animals do not
drink it, for 1t is deadly poison. Keep
all other liquids out of reach Of tho
flies. They are thirsty all the time, and
the stuff will kill them or by whole
