Asks u. S. Inquiry
Accused Of Pro- ermanism,
Paper Wants Clean
Bill of Health

The New York "Staats-Zeitung," one
Of the leading German language news
papers of the country, has invited At
torney General Gregory to investigate
il The request was sent 70 Washing
ton on Wednesday. What action the
Attorney General will take, If any. has
not been indicated.
The action OF the "Staats-Zeitung'
followed the publication by The Trib-
une Wednesday morning Of the fact
that Federal agents who raided the Of
fees OF the Philadelphia "Tageblatt"
the day before had declared the latter
paper had printed much German propa-
ganda forwarded to it in matrix form
by the "Staats-Zeituns." IL is the de-
sire Of the "Staats-Zeitung" to obtain
an official denial by the government
that it is pro-German.
Bernard Ridder, publisher Of the New
York "Staats-Zeitung" declined last
night to comment on the statement
that his paper had communicated with
the Attorney General. AS to the pub
lished charge that his paper had clrcu-
lated German propaganda material, ne
was most emphatic in his denial.
Ever since the lightning OF the
war" said Mr. Ridder, the stats
Zeitung has had on its staff large
corps of special writers. recognized au-
tEoritics on the many varied subjects
which have become Of Importance IN
the last three years. Their articles,
which have been purchased by the
'Staats-Zeitung' at no small cost, have
been syndcated through the country
10th in matrix and in proof form.
81 can state most positively" con.
tinued Mr.. Ridder, that not one OF
those special articles has even re-
motely been German propaganda. Every
word that we have ever published our
selves or that we have ever sent to any
other paper for publication is open TO
the closest scrutiny; in fact, we would
welcome IT,"

The E'ore. Hungarian paper pub
lished at East, Twenty-third Street,
New York, is the official organ of the
Hungarian branch Of the Socialist
party, and its sole aim Is TO make i.
appear TO it's readers that the United
States went into the war with no other
purpose than to benefit the rich. In
its issue for August 30 it said:
an spite Of peace talks the peace
dove is pretty far away yet. For the
government of the United States and
all those whose only business it is to
spend the money pressed out of the
American people are at least as good
business men as the proprietors of
the Busy Bee, on the Bowcry at the
corner Of Stanton Street, and would
not invest their money in loans if
they did not know they would get it
back with .easonable interest. Yes,
these gentlemen wish to fight for
long time yet, until they see their
loans secur,, until they achieve their
aims, which are so vague that no
body knows what they are. Even the
Pope does not, who is supposed TO
know all things.
"The combatants are preparing for
long war. They are figuring on
the skin of the working peoples and
bleeding the masses, and many bill
ions of dollars have to be wasted
yet and many millions Of men have
to die unless the aroused people will
upset their plans with a red pencil.
LET them figure until that time"

The campaign all over the
country for an increased crop
production tends to create a feel
ing of uneasineSs which should
be dispelled. 1t is true that the
price of food stuffs is high and,
since this country has become
evolved in the world war, pri-
ces will possibly go much high
er. But that does not mean a pan
ic. Everybody can secure en-
ployment and money was never
so plentiful in any country as it
is in the United States to-day.

you of starving the Judge that

THE PRICE OF CORN

In time past, the farmer has
been affected by trusts on var
ious articles and commodities.
1t has often been said that mid
die men and spectators "Held
both ends of the string" which,
allowing us to use that phrase,
was doubtless true. To-day the
farmer, we mean the farmer
that produces a surplus, is right
intthe middle of more prosperity
than he has ever been in the his
tory of our government.
1t has been related to us by
a number of men that there are
a number of farmers in Grain
ger county holding their corn
for higher prices, notwithstand-
ing the present high price.
Below we give a table showing
what it costs to cultivate and
gather one acre of corn, which,
as every farmer knows, is very
reasonably estimated. We also
show in this table what profit
the farmer gets from the grow
ing of one acre of corn, valuing
corn at one dollar per bushel, af-
ter all expenses have been de-
Quoted. In making up this table,
we have calculated that taking
Granger county as a whole, the
average number of bushels of
corn per acre is twenty, which
every man who is acquainted
with the county knows is a very
low estimate; in fact too low
but we want to be reasonable.
Our estimate follows:
l days blowing S 800
Narrowing and planting
70 day $50
Seed 10
Cultivate A times with one
days work 1.50
Gathering 200
Taxes on $1,000, assessed

Reckoning land at $4,000

New York and the Car Horse.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Even a strike of the street car men
has not been sufficient to deprive New
York of its most priced possession-the
street car horse. 1t is announced that
so far as the marlborough system goes.
there is one line on which 100 per cent
of the employees reported for duty on
the day of the strike. That was the
Avenue c line, consisting of fourteen
horse cars. The men on that line weat
to work automatically. and so did the
aciesr no SeS I.t ~ &c cars A
failure to do so would have upset all
the traditions. The people accepted
the strike philosophically, but if the
horse car lines had failed them no one
can tell what the consequences might
have been.
So far as industrious investigators
have been able to learn. the only city
town. villa ge or hamlet in the United
States which has been unable to dis
pense with the car horse is loud New
York. Most of its ancient landmarks
have gone-even the name of the Bow
cry hangs in the balance-but the old
car Nurse still fiourishes as il did many
generations ago.
1t is one of the objects of interest
which furnish entertainment to visit
ors from all parts of this great and
glorious country.
