VON REvEN1LOW ASSERTS GERARD
 AIDED ENTE 'TE.

Amsterdam, Feb. 19.-Count von Reventlow devotes the leading edi-or- ial in the Berlin Tages Zeitung today to an attack on James w. Gerard, for mer American ambassador, whom he accuses of having used his official po- sition deliberately to transrnt. import ant war information to the Entente by way of America
 Many indications" he writes, "haye continually pointed to the the ory that the uncontrolled cable service and letter service to the United States permitted to the American embassy had also been an uncontrolled meth Sod of communication with London and Paris. This was best illustrated in the events which led to the capture and execution of Sir Roger Easement: Thus London learned in good time of the enterprise that led Easement to the Irish coast and his capture followed. American Ambassador Gerard and his personnel were the ones who delivered the honorable Irishman to the hang man."
 An attack on American newspaper service from Berlin is appended and the article closes with an expression o1 hearty thankfulness that MT. Gerard has left Berlin.

A. J. GRAVES TELLS OF
 WONDERS IN FLORIDA

Declaring that the state of Florida offers more opportunities to energetic American farmers than any other section of the country, Anthony J. Graves of 13S Park street. this city, urges every one interested in owning his own home and being master of his own future to investigate the op- portun1ties of that state
 MT. Graves, one of the best known residents of the East Side, recently journeyed to Florida to investigate some land purchased by him from the Florida Farms and Homes, Inc, To- cated in Putnam county, one of the most desirable sections in the state. He not only toured his land and property immediately adjoining, but journeyed as far as Palm Beach, which is some three hundred miles south and and returned with the most glowing description imagina ble
 In speaking of the Bridgeport col ony being formed in the southern state, MT. Graves said he was most pleasantly surprised to find a spot where a great many acquaintances formed in Bridgeport could go almost in a body, which would eliminate the stranger in a new community.
 "It was also very surprising to me to find many people there who were willing to go to great extent to ex- tend the southern hospitality, which I had often heard about but never before enjoyed I never dreamed i, was the whole souled home-liKe sort I encountered while in Florida. Utter strangers went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable and wish to state that if it had not been for them would have spent many a lonesome hour.
 'I was astonished by the figures furnished me by some oS the conserv- ative farmers until I realized that they raised three crops there as easily as the northern farmer raises one About all the crops known up here can be raised there and many that we in the north know nothing of ex- cept to pay enormous prices for in the market. Cattle, hogs and sheep graze expensive. The climate is exhilar- Top prices are paid by the packers and there is practically no shipping charge for the Armour Go has re- gently erected a mammoth plant in Jacsonville.
 N Building materials are nowhere near as high as here and labor is in- expensive. The climate is exhiler7 ating in the extreme and. the educa4 tional facilities are excelEnt. I went town bit sceptical of the things that I heard in the north relative to F1ori- da land; but in many instances, I re- alized that they had not even been done justice.
 '"The Florida Farms and Homes, Inc, has established demonstration farm for the benefit of it's patrons and assists them in every way possi- ble to get an advantageous start in the new land. The people are con- siderate and kind and demonstrate by their treatment of strangers that they are gentlemen and gentlewom- en. My advice to anyone contem- plating change in residence is to investigate the opportunities offered in Florida

Ask For Million Members to Help
 Red Cross Work

Washington, Feb. 19.-Asking fol
 ''the undivided support of patriotic Americans everywhere MT. Elio Wadsworth, acting chairman of thu I American Red Cross. issued an appea l to the American public for the i'm
 mediate enrolment of 100000 new members to help the society in ths 1 present national crisis.
 Mr. Wadsworth said "At this time of national trial, when everyone is ! keyed to spirit of particular sacri. fee and desire to help, I cannot insist
 too strongly nor too often that the Red Cross is the only volunteer relief or ganization recognized by the United States government. Now is time
 when we must unify our national ef- fort, and guard above all against du- plication of work in any vital field.
 Numbers of self-sacriicing persons
 during the last two. years have given all their time and enthusiasm to spe- ciaIized relief. We have had to be neutral, to lessen suffering wherever we have found it. We could do noth- ing else if we were true to the spirit of our founders. Others have prefer red through keen sympathy to work for special national relief funds. and to make a special forms of dressings and bandages for the surgeons of this or that particular country. The work of these persons has been one of the sustaining inspirations of American life.
 "But now the conditions are all changed It is the United States 1t- self that may need our organized as- sistance, We do not know a. what minute this country may demand our uttermost resouces. There is no pos sibility of divided sympathy. And our government has made it plain beyond the chance of doubt that where Amer ica is suffering or in danger or suffer ing, the American Red Cross must beai the burden of national relief and com mand the loyal and devoted help, or the entire country.
 .eWe are ready now to provide per- sonnel to care for the sick and wounded of an army of 100000 men, and to bring instant relief to the de- pendent families of volunteers. Our surgical dressings we have standard ized to meet the special needs of the United States army. In one year we have added to our rolls more than a quarter of a million members. Today we need a million new members at once. The time has come when we must ask and obtain the undivided support of patriotic Americans every where"

JRUMBULL


 The committee for the Washington whist, to be given at the town hall at Trumbull, Tuesday evening of this week. by the Improvement society, will have the hall illuminated with electric lights.
 The Improvement society is con- templating installing electric lights in the center, as the charter now before the legislature covers a section only five hundred feet on each side of the trolley line in Main street, and the chances of the rest of the town get ting any benefit from this, if it should be granted, is very small. The electric light plant will be operated by T. H.-!Cone, of Bridgeport, and the committee hopes the townspeople will come out to see this display and give their opinions.

NEW TRIAL IS SOUGHT
 FOR BOMB CONSPIRATOR

San Francisco, Feb. 19.-Attorneys } <or the state and defense are prepared for a contest today over a motion for a new trial for Thomas J. Mooney. recently convicted of murder in the first degree in connection with a bomb explosion here last July. If the mo- ton is denied sentence probably will be passed at once.
 Tn support of the motion Mooney's attorneys. filed two aff1davits, one att tacking the testimony of Frank c. Oxman, Oregon cattle man and the star witness for the prosecution, which testified that he saw Mooney and other defendants at the scene of the explosion and saw one of them place on the sidewalk where the explosion occurred 2. suit case similar to the one that the state contends, held the bomb. The other affidavit seeks to prove that it was Herman F. Boesse, employe of local real estate firm, that really deposited the suit case.

YES! THIS IS TRUE! ANY CORN LIFTS OUT No fooIishnessI Lift your corns and caIluses of with
 fingers.

Pain? No, none at all!
 Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be lifted right out with the fingers if you will apply directly upon the corn a few drops of freezone says a Gin cinnati authority.
 It is claimed that at small cost one can get a quarter of an ounce of freez- one at any drug store, which is suff1- cient to rid ones feet of every corn or callus without pain or soreness or the danger of infection
 This simple drug dries the moment it is applied and does not inflame or even irritate the surrounding tissue while applying it or afterwards
 This announcement will. interest many women here, for it is said that the present high-heel footwear is put ting corns on every womans feet.

RAILROAD CONGESTION
 TIES UP INDUSTRIES

Pittsburgh, Feb. 19-The railroad freight situation has resulted in a temporary suspension of industrial activity in the Pittsburgh district. The fire in approximately 40 fur naces in the district has been banked and various departments at many mills have been closed because of a shortage in cars which has prevented the bringing in of raw materials and the shipping of the finished product. Railroad officials estimate that more than 50,000 tons of structural ma- terial alone is in the local yards awaiting movement, while mills have continued to roll new steel until the mill yards will hold no more.
 In the coal fields in this vicinity the mines are unable to operate more than 40 per cent. and last week the general, average was ndt more than 30 per cent. As high as $7 a ton is paid at the mine for coal in carload lots. In the Connellsville field spot furnace coke is eagerly sought at as high as $12.25 at the ovens.

Roll BY $3s.ao-Hearing
Before Squire Harter

Having pleaded guilty to one
charge, that OF having In his posses
sion green skunk hides before the
open season, Waldon Shuman re-
ceived a fine of $40 and the costs OF
five cases, all of which were the
same. The costs amounted to 5000
About two months ago, a message
was received by eX-Sheriff Woolison
that Shuman had number of
green skunk hides in his possession
An investigation was instituted and
the eX-sheriff and Prosecutor Charles
Nj. Bermont found the message true.
Accordingly, an affidavit was filed
against Shuman on the above
grounds.
The case went along until Wednes-
day when Shuman appeared before
Squire George S. Harter to answer
to the charge. He found five charges
filed against him, all for the same
thing.
Shuman at once pleaded guilty to
one charge and the case was compro-
missed. Squire Harter then made it
known that the fine would be $40 and
the costs of all five cases were
$500. Shuman agreed to pay the
sum of $49.20 and was released.

Ohio Experiment Station
Bulletins
ACID PHOSPHATE SUPERIOR TO
RAW PHOSPHATE ROCK

Acid phosphate in field tests conduct
ed for nearly 20 years by the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station has proved to be not
only more effective but also a cheap
er carrier of phosphorus than raw
phosphate rock for crops under condi-
tions which render freight charges a
relatively large part of the cost of the
fertilizer. These tests have included
experiments with these two fertilizing
materials by themselves, and in con-
nection with other fertilizers, with
lime and with barnyard manure.
Acid phosphate is made by treating
raw phosphate rock or floats, with an
equal weight of sulphuric acid. This
process reduces the percentage of
phosphorus but increases it's solubili-
ty The acid phosphate therefore costs
more and freight on it is higher also
Still, the tests at the Experiment Sta
tion show that, while raw phosphate
may be used with profit on land de-
ficient in available phosphorus, acid
phosphate has produced increases in
crop yields more than sufficient to
meet the larger cost.

CORN AND OATS FOR WORK
HORSES

Contrary to popular opinion that
horses fed oats have more life, keep
in better condition and endure work
better, especially during hot weather,
than horses given a grain ration con-
sisting largely or exclusively of corn,
an experiment conducted for As weeks
at the Ohio Experiment Station with
work horses showed that oats are not
superior in efficiency to corn. Econo-
my in feeding is generally in favor of
corn.
Three teams of mature geldings were
used, one horse in each team being
fed oats and the other an equal weight
of ear corn in connection with mixed
clover and timothy hay. There was
practically no difference in the chang
es in weight during the year between
the two lots. No difference due to the
feeds used was observed in the spirit
and endurance of the horses.
The cost of feeding the corn-fed
horses, with corn at so cents bushel,
oats at so cents and hay at SO a
tor, was $S5.65 for the AZ weeks, as
compared with charge of $l22.19 for
the horses given oats. Animal hus-
bandmen at the Experiment Station,
considering the relative prices of
these two grains over long period of
years, say that corn may be substi-
tuted for oats for work horses with a
material saving, and therefore should
be given large place in their rations
whenever market conditions warrant
its use.
