that riches like unto King Midas are

Mr.. Bond visited the Express office
yesterday and brought with him a

 YEARS YOUNG CELEBRATE
(From Fridays DaflY.l

That the Red Cross Auxiliary in Prescott may have ample funds at its disposal for the purchasing of sup- plies for making spongcs, bandages and such other useful expenditures as may be necessary as time develops, is the motto which has been taken by the Odd Fellows and it is their aim and intention that their 9Sth an niycrSary will witness ono of the largest crowds ever seen in Prescott on any like occasion. It is realized by the Odd Fellows that the supplies which are necessary for the work Of the Red Cross cost money and that the same supplies whether used at home, or sent on to the national so- ciety will mean much to humanity.
 At the meeting of the lodge held Tuesday evening. each and every Odd Fellow constituted himself commit tee of one to sec that the sale of tickets is expedited. Secretary F. c. Brown of the l. O. O. F., is sending tickets to members throughout the county, and yesterday he supplied the Boy Scouts with 100, which they will sell throughout the Verde valley. Tickets can be procured atsSsc office of the secretary today.

the long run consumption will not
 be largely increased. For some ar
 ticles the demand will positively di-
 minish. Even in steel, which goes
 into munitions more extensively than
 any other article, the increased de-
 mand resulting from war will be but a moderate fraction of the total ma
 tional output For a period consid- crablc Arrangement and activity must be expected, while industry and trade arc being mobilizcd or adjusted to the new requirements. Some lines will be exceedingly active; others hes itating or slowing down. Eventually the customary activities will be largely renewed, and the nation become ac- customcd to new conditions. Our various commercial and financial bodies are already leading conspicu- ously in patriotic movement, thus af- fording the government all possible help. One important factor has tc be taken into consideration, that is a much larger assumption of govern mcnt control in industry than has ever yet been anticipated. There will be no occasion for such extreme government interference as has talk en place in Germany, Great Britain and other European countries, be- cause we are farther from the seat of war and our participation will not be upon such gigantic scale Never thclcss, the knowledge of impending changes of this character will be an added reason for caution.
 : \ factor of importance thus far overshadowcd by other considcra- tons is the crop outlook, which is not by any means satisfactory Win ter wheat conditions generally are poor, but fine growing weather from now on might of course improve the prospects for spring wheat. The world needs good harvcsts, but con- ditionS are still adverse to cheap food: in fact the food problem prom iscs to become a serious one unless the war soon cnds.-Hcnry Clcws.

The Bel gian officer concluded the petition, Forgive us our trcspasscs as we for give them that trcSpass against us.' The Belgian officer was Albert, the king.

Special Correspondence.

NEW YORK, April 7.-Suspcnsc is ended and the United States has definitely entered the war on behalf of democracy and political freedom That is the one issue which unites all nations against the German gov ernment; for, as las already been said, it is not the German people against whom we are waging war, but its cruel submarine and militar- istic methods. President Wilson, however patient he may have been in taking decisive action, has at last met the situation in bold and pa triotic fashion. His address to Cong ress will go down into history as one of the strongest, ablcst and lof- ticst political documents on record, and will rank with some of Lincoln's s most revercd addresses on great oc- casions. The whole country is earn estly and enthusiastically behind the president, and this war will undoubt- cdly be pushed with unrclcnting vigor
 Our joining the Allies will surely hasten the end. There are some op- timists who expect that hostilities will end this summer, and not few arc confident that the struggle will not last through another winter Yet it would be a grave mistake to act upon any such assumptions. We must prepare for the worst. Gcrmany's ability to withstand siege has by no means reached the limit She may be feeling the intense strain upon her economic, financial and political sys- tenn; but nations have often shown ability to wield the sword long after the utmost pressure had been applied As long as Germany can sustain her armies and preserve their morale, it may be possible for her to be able to hold off her enemies both within and without; and in any event a de- cisivc result seems impossible until

ELECTRICITY FOR THE
 GROWING OF CROPS

LONDON, April l0.-EXpcrimcnts on large scale with the use of cleo , tricity to stimulate the growing Of crops arc among the government : latest efforts to increase the country s home food production. The depart mcnt of agriculture has taken over a large area near Hereford, where in- stallations have already been set up for the use Of ionizcd air produced by an electric discharge from a system of thin wire. A staff of agricultural experts under Prof. W. II. Blackman of the Imperial College oiSciencc and Technology, will supervise the expert mcnts.
 Proposals for the use of ionizcd air in agriculture have aroused interest in England for the past l5 years, and some experiments have been conduct cd on a small scale but with incon- elusive results. In the Hereford cx- pertinent, high tension alternating cur rent is to be used. Spring wheat, bar ley, oats and clover will be dealt with, and fertilizers of various types will also be used.
 The method adopted is to stretch over the field to be treated a number of thin wires on poles, something like low telegraph wires, but high enough for loaded wagons to pass under meath. The wires arc supported by high tension insulators on posts in long parallcd spans 30 feet apart.
 The charge Gzzcs of from the wircs," says one account. with a sound which is sometimes audible, and with a glow which is visible in the dark. Anyone walking about be- low the wires can sometimes feel the effect on the hair of the head, as of a cobwcb on the face. The electricity does not act as a fertilizer but as a substitute for sunlight. The current iS only used in the early morning and in cloudy weather" The initial cost of the apparatus for 24 acres is about l,5OO and the annual cost, including depreciation and labor iS about $500
 The identification of crops is said to have been first suggested by d Swedish professor named Lcmstrom. While conducting experiments in his greenhouse with the object of pro ducing an electric discharge similar to the Aurora Borcalis he noticed that the plants around seemed to thrive as d result Of the identification of the air.
