SEN. LODGE ATTACKS
 BEER PROHIBITION
Believes It Will Cause Dissension
 Throughout Country

Washington, June 29.-With a bit- ter attack on the "dry'' amendment to the food control bill, Senator Lodge. republican. of Massachusetts. yester- day afternoon opened the fight against national war prohibition. As a mem per Of the Senate finance committee and as man .'who would wipe out all 1ntoxicants in a moment if it would help win the war;" Senator Lodge warned that by stopping the supply of beers and wines Congress threatened to create wide dissatisfaction in the country. throw thousands out of em- ployment and eliminate millions in revenue to the nation.
 The speech of Senator Lodge Is the keynote of the line, of attack to be made by many in the Senate, includ- ing "conservative drys." Administra- ton leaders are concerned about means of raising revenue and behind both of which factions the ''wets' will take their position.
 Senator Lodge favored the finance committee amendment to the reve- nue bill now being formed, which would prohibit the use of foodstufts in distilled spirits manufacture, but which would permit beer and wine manufacture to continue.
 This is too grave Q question to look at over our shoulders" Senator Lodge declared. we are'nt going to save our souls by trying to make other peo- pie virtuous by statute. Oup one great due is to win the war. If prohibition would do it I would vote for it. would cast my vote without regard to my prejudices, my views or my hopes. The effort to impose general prohibi- ton on the country has been mixed up with this food bill, a most important measure to win the war. I believe we should decide the prohibition ques- ton on it's merits in relation to the war.
 ''I believe that the use of foodstuffs in the manufacture of distilled spirits of all kinds should be stopped, and stopped now. It will save considers ble. believe also that the supply of distill\d spirits now in bond should be commandeered.
 ''But there is little real food mate rial used in the manufacture of beer. If you close the breweries 1t will re- duce the yeast supply 70 per cent and likely double the price of bread as g. result. The controlling factor in this issue is united public sentiment.
 -e f'- That is the great motive force behind this war.
 ''Our troops arc now in Europe. There will be a month of silence while they prepare. Then we will hear that they have stormed German trenches and taken enemy villages. Then will come the casualty lists-the record of dead an wounded. Then blood will be on the face and garments of America.
 And whatever clamor is raised now there Is one thing the people will not forgive, and that is anything that will divide sentiment and thus hinder us in our great task of winning this war"
 Senator Lodge declared that many loyal Germans in this country accus- toned to drinking beer should not be antagonized at this time, so that they might turn to "whiskey, anger and annoyance"

Judge Advocate General Rules
 Against Prisoners of War.
 Washington, June 29.-In deciding whether German prisoners of war in the United States may make and sell toys for the benefit of the German Red Cross the judge advocate general of the army holds there is no treaty which would impose upon the United States duty to permit prisoners to aid any institutions connected with or serving an enemy of the country in any capacity.
 His decision also points out the existence of any such right is nega- tived by The Hague convention on rules of land warfare. which stipu- lates that the wages of the prisoners shall go toward improving their con dition and the balance shall be paid them on their release after deducting the cost of their maintsnAncs.

whiskeys and other alcoholic poisons so freely taken in this and in other countries are unknown to nine hum dred out of a thousand Frenchmen. The Frenchman taking his light claret or his 'bock,' his glass of beer. slowly, y,Stemperately, would be amazed if anybody asked him to drink whis- key. brandy or a cocktail. It would be to him as though an American smoking his cigar were asked to smoke a pipe of opium
 Americans who are planning ab- solute prohibition will be interested to know that in France drunkenness is confined practically to those that manufacture their own alcoholic poi sons in their own houses. You know that any man can manufacture for himself kind of whiskey or brandy, vile stuff, highly alcoholic and poi sonous. This is done in the small villages, little places through the country where light wines cannot readily be had at cheap prices. Americans. legislating on the sub 5ect, should note with interest that habitual drunkenness in France IS practically confined to those places where the man has his own little 'sttll' and manufactures his own al- coholic poison. It is unknown among the masses of the population.
 "Of course, I have no thought of suggesting anything for the United States. but am glad to answer your question as to conditions in France.
 For any man to. deny that it is possible for entire populations to use light wine and light beers universally, and for such populations to be en- tirely temperate and in good health, is preposterous. Whoever denies it denies what is true and what every intelligent man who has travelled knows perfectly we'll.
 'The French nation has taken red wine since the early Gauls described by Michelet who settled down where they found the' good vineyards. I do not think 1t will be said by your soldiers who join us in the trenches that the French nation shows any signs of dying out or any lack of en- durance in this war;
 The remarks of M. Lausanne are interesting and to the point. They mark the difference between Pro- hibition and Temperance. If this nation were to go "bone-dry' tomor- raw there is not a man in the country who could not get a drink if he wanted it. Any man who had two- foot piece Of rubber hose. a coil of pipe, and an iron vessel to heat the ingredients could set up his own "still,' and manufacture whiskey. He could not brew beer so readily; but he could distill a vile connection 6f poisonous proportions. This is one of the things that will probably hap pen when the nation goes dry without the voice of the people. They have not yet taken a national vote on this all important question. It was not an Issue in the late campaign. Rather than SOW discord at this time, when the nation must be united to fight the common foe, it would seem the bet- ter part of wisdom to amend the stringent bill now before the Senate so that the lighter beverages might be manufactured and sold. In this will temperance gain foothold, and so d. more good than so-called Prohibition which will only stir up strife.

tally by the last named town.
The audiences were enthusiastic and
appreciative. The Dixie orchestra
went so far as to play free for two
successive performances of the same
play, which was certainly very much
appreciated
At the earnest solicitation of Prn-
cipal Woodward and members of the
faculty, the young people stayed over
in st. George and gave second per-

Coach Christensen states that they
not only paid expenses on the trip,
but returned with a little money in the

PLANT FRUIT TREES IN SPRING OR FALL

by j. c. WRITTEN, Missouri College of
Agrlculture)
Fruit trees may be set in the fall or
IN early spring. One-year-old trees are
usually preferable, If well grown,
though in the case of apple, pear,
cherry and American plums, two-year-
old trees may be used If desired.
Fruit trees are usually planted In
check rows or squares, in this state, at
the following distances apart In feet:
Apples, % by % or 80 by 80; pears,
peaches and cherries, 20 by 20; plums,
1914 by 1914.
Young trees should be set about the
same depth that they stood in the
nursery. The color and character Of
the bark shows how much of the tree
grew below ground. The holes should
be dug just deep and broad enough to
admit the roots in their natural spread
without bending them.
Trim the Roots.
The roots should he trimmed so as
to remove amy broken or diseased
parts, If ragged wound has been
left at the end of large root in dig
ging, this part should be cut off SO as
to make smooth, clean cut.
The soil should be shaken in be-

RAPE MAKES SOUND
R0UGHAGE FOR SWINE
Crop Seeded Early in April Should
Be Ready for Pasturage
Early in June.

To provide good, succulent pasture
for the swine, n few acres should be
seeded to rape, according to j. s. COT
fey of the animal husbandry depart
ment, Ohio state university. Rape
seeded early in April should be ready
for pasture early in June, If the sea-
son is favorable and the soil fertile.
Ordinarily an acre of rape will furnish
enough pasture for two s6ws and Il
pigs during the summer and fall.
Dwarf Essex is regarded as the best
variety To plant and generally costs
about 10 cents per pound. Ordinarily
the rape is sown by itself on care
fully prepared seeded at the rate OF
five or six pounds per acre. 1t may be
broadcasted or drilled and some pre-
fer to SOW it in rows 1G inches apart
thus making lanes for the swine to
walk in, so that the loss from tramping
is lesscned.

SIVE TRAVELLERS PARTY

That the District School teachers

had recently at the progressive trav-

they do not like SNAKE Of the more
this they proved at a party given a
week ago, by themselves at the home
of a member Of the bunch The
party began at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Booth. There hot potatoes,
cheese, pickles mixed with smiles and
the anticipation of an evenings who

or the first course Of the evening
meal. Next the jolly crowd journey
ed to the home of Miss Mary Berg
strum, there to partake Of salad and
crackers, with more laughter Tor the
sauce. The next course was served
at the home of Miss Gladys Neon
mel where desert was eaten with a
growing degree Of laughter and fun.

hand it to them that distributing

in this life little fun mixed in with
the commonplace things, goes long
way to making the burdens lighter
and the smiles brighter, if you don't
agree ask the school children, they
certainly noticed the difference the
day after.

case of peach trees, cut on all side
limbs close TO the trunk and shorten
the main trunk. A peach or Japanese
plum will produce new limbs from the
main stem. These sprout strong new
limbs so readily that they may be
trimmed to single whips.
On the other hand, cherry tree
should not have its branches cut back.
The active buds of the cherry are near
the tips of the limbs. The main trunk
has only dormant buds which do not
start readily. 1t is well TO cut back
the central leader to where the tree
branches. IL there are more than five
main limbs, remove all but three to
five, leaving these even spaced to form
the framework or head of the tree.
Form open Top.
Apples, pears and American plums
If well brauched, should have the main
leader cut out to form an open spread
ing head. The side limbs should then
be shortened one-thlrd to one-half.
Eventually the head should be reduced
/ to from three to five main limbs to
form the framework of the tree. More
limbs may be left the first season,
however. After the tree has made u
seasons growth one may make better

SOURCE OF INCOME
FROM FARM POULTRY
Steadily Increasing Demand for
Fresh Eggs of Superior Quail
ity at Good Prices.

Eggs for market should be the most
important source Of income from the
farm flock according to NJ. c. Kilpat-
rick of the Ohio College of Agricul-
ture. There is a steadily increasing
demand for fresh eggs Of good quail
ity at profitable prices. In addition,
eggs are produced with less labor than
other poultry products and are more
conveniently marketed.
Poultry for market should be the
second source of income. Under pres
ent conditions, the larger part of the
poultry meat produced on most farms
is n hy-product produced and sold
with little regard to the cost Of pro-
duction. The poutryman should
plan his work so that while producing
eggs for market, he may obtain con-
siderable revenue from the sale of
brOilers during June and July and
fowls during September and October.
