PEACE WITHOUT VICTORY.

Senate OF the UnlteQ Otal6S IN Ine uide-
ter of the peace of the world. The Pres
ident said that victory by either party
to the European War would not make
for permanent peace, therefore he favors
peace at shis time while the two groups
of nations are about balanced in power.
After peace is made, the President goes
on to say, it would be we'll Gf it is peace
on desirable terms) for this country to
Join concert of the nations to maintain
permanent peace in the world. He pre-
poses sort of world Monroe doctrine,
backed by all the civilized nations of the
earth. This, which the President claims
is not departure from our traditional
nonalliance policy, is necessary for our
safety.
The part of the Presidents address
which outlines state policy appeals to
reason because it points out the danger
to this and all neutral countries to fol-
low from complete victory by either
side to the war. Such result would
mean unlimited power for the victors to
do what they pleased in the world; and
that they would take measures to COM
pensate themselves for the enormous
cost of their victory there is no reason
to doubt. The defeated nations would
have little to pay with. The neutral
nations have been growing rich from the
profits on materials supplied to the
belligerents at war prices. Those who
have the goods must pay the expenses
of the victors if the victors are strong
enough to dictate such settlement.
The President is right. AS long as
the two groups of nations in Europe are
about balanced in power they are not
likely to attack US because of fear of
each other. AS to the concert of powers,
it will naturally have the same history
that other such concerts have made in
world history. 1t may maintain peace
for ten years or a century but, like all
things human, it will reach the end Of
its usefulness and old humanity will
begin in time to kill and rob once again.
If it maintains the peace Of the world
for time, however, it will have served
humanity that much.
The country generally seems to be
considering the Presidents suggestion
with a reasonable degree of favor.
Since the foregoing was written and
put in type Germany has responded to
the Presidents speech before the Senate
by notifying him of her intention to re-
sumo the sinking of enemy merchant
ships without warning. She gives as a
reason that Great Britain is maintaining
a blockade of German ports with the
avowed purpose of starving Germany
into submission and that the only way
she has of striking back is to blockade
the British ports through ruthless
submarine warfare.
Our Government had already, some
months ago, notified the German Gov.
eminent that the sinking Of merchant
vessels without warning, involving the
loss of American lives, would mean that
VIC should go to war with Germany
The situation seems the most critical O.
any that has arisen and the participa.
ton of the United States in the war OF
the side OF Great Britain and the Allies
seems probable.

APPLE TREE PRUNING HINTS
When Growing Too Upright OF
Spreading, Cut Back Leaders,
Keep Top Sufficiently Open.

II an apple tree IS growing too up
right or too spreading, cut back the
leaders to a side shoot that is growing
in the desired direction. The upright
tendency is more often found, in which
event the heads should be shortened
back to a side stock that IS growing
down and out. Do not cut the young
shoots in the interior, as they tend TO
send out laterals that are hard to
prune into shape. Keep the top suf-
ticiently open so that the sunlight ana
air can freely circulate. This is neces-
sary for the ripening of the fruit buds.
Small limbs should be removed, but
the work should not be done so that
spaces are left in the top. Cut out all
diseased or dead wood. Save all the
good fruit spurs and try to produce
new ones. Cut out all crossing and in
terfering branches. In a well-grown
tree all water sprouts should be re-
moved If any are needed to replace
lost fruit spurs, they should be cut
back to two buds. This operation may
need to be repeated. All branches
growing back through the interior OF
the tree should be removed.

BEST RESULTS IN SPRAYING
NozzIes That Deliver Fine Mist at
Pressure Of $50 to 200 Pounds
Are Most Favored.

Best results in spraying are obtained
with nozzles Of type that deliver
fine mist and the spray put on at
pressure of $50 to 200 pounds. This
calls for first-class pump and gaso-
line engine.
Farmers who use comparatively
small amount of spraying material
often find it more satisfactory to buy
factory-made sprays than to bother
with home mixing. 1t takes about as
long to mix q few quarts or gallons as
to make up a barrel or two, and time,
Of all things, is expensive in this period
of high priced labor. This factor or
time and labor often amounts to more
than the higher cost of purchased
sprays. Furthermore, the factory goods
are of standard strength and purity,
| which is not always true of sprays
made at home. Small gardeners, es-
pecially, find it more satisfactory and
economical to buy their spraying mate
rial because they use so little at any
one time.

TURNING SEWAGE INTO ASSET
British City Shows How Profit Can
Be Made by Scientific Handling
of Waste EffIuent.

Through installation of modern sew
erage and garbage disposal systems
many cities of this country are secur-
ing valuable by-products from waste,
but our municipalities could probably
emulate to advantage the method
adopted by an English city in creating
an asset out of a waste etfiuent dill
cult of disposal, says the Manutac-
turers, Record. According to state
ment in commerce reports by the Unit
ed States consul at Bradford, England,
that city RECEIVERS the grease in the
sewage coming from many wool-Wash-
ing and securing establishments TO-
Gated there and turns it into a profit
able by-product.
This grease by-prOduct is said to be
Of value in the leather-dressing trade
and to some extent in branches OF the
textile industry.
The sales of the recovered grease
nv the sewage works of the city OF
Bradford were reported to amount TO
$3.50. 800 in 1916 at the present high
price of $122 ton, and it is estimated
that for this year over $4,000 Will be
realized from this source, in ADDITION
to nearly $4,000 derived from the sale
of manure or fertilizer made from the
sludge left after the extraction of the
grease. Because Of the development
of this by-product it is thought the
Bradford sewage work will be sell
supporting in 1917.

PLANNING HOME is BIG TASK
Many Problems of Location and Con-
struction Must Be Solved Before
Excavations Are Started.

A location for a home should be q
site with a restful aspect. Home build
ers should persistently and seriously
consider all Of the numerous features
entering into the situation and con-
struction of q house which they them
selves are to occupy.
Very many problems of location and
construction must be solved even be-
fore excavations for q home are start
ed. All members of the family which
is to be the first occupant of the build
ing should be privileged, in fact, they
should be invited, to freely express
their ideas as to proper location ana
construction, both as to type or archi-
lecture, and construction materials.
Every requisite of those who are to
occupy the house, every possibility and
limitation should be carefully conSid-
cred and decided upon before the site
IS chosen and before the plans are
drafted.
If part of the family goes to business
each day il will be necessary to con-
struct the home near a railway sta
ton or trolley line. If there are chill
dren of school age in the family it is
imperative for the young folks well
fare to select q building site in COM
munity with good schools and to locate
the home within reasonable distance
of the school or schools which the
children will attend. These and other
details should be given careful consid'
Grafton.
