Procrastination.

Washington, Feb 27--Germany's
procrastination in complying with re-
peated American demands for release
OF the Yarrowdale prisoners is bring
Ing the controversy to a stage OF ex-
treme gravity.
The Yarrowdalc case has been n
source OF growing concern and indiG-
nation among officials. some Of whom
are now convinced that Germany's in
tention is nothing more or less than to
hold the American seamen as hostages
pending decision as to peace or war.
Such an act would DO regarded hero
as not only n fragrant violation Of in
tcrnational law and treaty rights but
an open Insult to the dignity and good
faith OF the United States. While the
administration has been inclined 10
subordinate all collateral issues to tho
paramount principles involved in the
submarine campaign, the plight of the
farrowdalc men has forced itself
steadily forward as one of the most
important factors in the whole Ger
man crisis.
Although no official advices report
Ing the re-detention OF the seamen
had reached the state department to-
night another inquiry regarding them
was sent through the Spanish am
bassador In Berlin az soon as officials
saw news dispatches saying they
would not be liberated at present be-
cause of disease at their camp. In
most quarters the reported cause for
re detention was regarded as only n
pretext
Reported Released.
Once before the United States was
advised that the prisoners had been
released. but it developed that the
German officials had decided to hold
them until 1t was learned what treat
ment German citizens and property
were receiving in this country.
When the Yarrowdale, Il prize shin,
took the American seamen into Ger
many two months ago, the German
government announced that they werc
being held because they had taken
pay on armed entente mercha ntmen
encountered by the German raider.
In response to the protests OF the
United States, however, there has
been no attempt to defend such n pro-
ceeding under international law and
officials feel that by consenting to set
them free Germany has recognized
that she has no right to detain them.
One Of the great difficulties In the
negotiations has been due to the un-
der manning of the Spanish embassy
In Berlin. which has taken over Amer
lean interests The United states has
offered to provide extra help at the
embassy.

Existing laws are not properly en-

to minors, but boys can get tobacco

About 90 minutes after the first tor
pedo. the reports add, and while some
Of 'he boats were still nearby, scc-
ond torpedo was driven into the vessel,
which sank three quarters of an hour
after the original attack. The small
boats with survivors pitched about
during the long hours of the night
until rescue came. During this time
the two American women. Mrs. Mary
r. Hoy and Miss Elizabeth Hoy Of
Chicago died of exposure and were
other deaths, not Of Americans.

and no inquiry of any sort Is necessary
to establish tho facts Of the case. Of
ficials are entirely clear in their be-
lief that Germany has committed tho
act which President Wilson has said II
was impossible for him to believe she
would commit.
Both white House and state depart
ment officials seem to feel that the
answer must come from congress. The
president, they point out, asked fo'
authority to take steps to prevent Just
such an act at the very moment when

HOG CHOLERA.
Swat hog cholera. Not only is ii
q great loss to the farmer to have
$40 hogs destroyed by this very con.
tagious disease, but the nation can.
not afford to lose the food.
Every farmer who raises hogs can
aid in preventing a great loss from
cholera by keeping the hogs healthy.
Give them clean pens, clean water
and the right feed. Then the hogs
should be sprayed for lice. This in.
creases the animals resistance to the
disease.
To control hog cholera effectively
requires more individual effort. 1t
is a neighborhood affair and requires
neighborhood cooperation. When
cholera appears in vicinity all hogs
on neighboring farms should be
quarantined and promptly treated
with anti-hog cholera serum. Every
farmer in the county should know
the effective measures Of preventing
and controlling the disease. Write
to the Farm Demonstration Agent
for bulletin. 1t tells how.

DEVELOP Our Live Stock Industry.

Necessity for the development OF
the live stock industry in the South
as an important factor in world re-
adjustment after the war is pointed
out in the following message receiv-
ed from Herbert Hoover, United
States food administrator:
An immense obligation rests up
on the United States to increase live
stock production as vital necessity
in winning the war. The reduction
of the breeding herd of meat animals
in Europe has become Increasingly
serious. The demand on the United
States for meat and other animal
products is, and during the war will
continue to be, far beyond any pre-
vious experience. With the end OF
the war, large demands will be made
upon us for breeding stock, and a
continued demand for animal prod
ucts while her herds recuperate. 1t is
therefore a patriotic service Of a high
order for the owners of grazing
lands not now in use to place live
stock on them. If the Southern Cut
over Land Conference results in plac.
ing eattle,upon the immense areas
of unoccupfed land in the Southeast
ern part of the United States,it will
deserve thsgratitude of the nation

Colonel RooseAelt Again Denounces
Shadow Huns"


Shadow Huns" men who sit in
our National Legislature and serve
the Kaiser, and the Huns within our
gates" received another denuncia-
ton at Johnstown, Ps, last Sunday
from former President Roosevelt in
an address before the Workingmen's
Red Cross celebration. The colonel
brought to the several thousand
workingmen in his audience the
need of true Americanism and the
duty devolving upon every citizen of
the United States in standing behind
the young men who have enlisted
or have been made parts of the ma
tional army for the purpose of cut
ting the German cancer clean out OF
the world body"
Reviewing the remarks attributed
to Senator LaFollette in some of the
Senator's recent addresses, Mr.
Roosevelt declared:
You do not find any Shadow
Huns in Germany. If in Germany
any man acted like LaFollette in
this country they would put him to
digging trenches. l would send him
as q gift to the Kaiser. Let the
Shadow Huns 60 back to their ceun-
try"

PRESERVING EGGS.

Many people wish to preserve eggs
for home consumption. and so few
methods are given which have prov
ed sufficiently satisfactory to war
rant the preservation of eggs for
home use.
In placing eggs in the preservative
be careful not to crack the shells.
Keep them in q moderately cool room
where the temperature may be kept
fairly constant.
Water-glass-Of the many meth
DDS which have been tried for pre-
serving eggs on a small scale none
has proved more successful than the
use of water-glass (sodium silicate).
This is a very cheap product that
can usually be procured at not to
exceed so cents gallon, and one
gallon will make enough solution to
preserve so dozen eggs, 80 that the
cost of material will not exceed one
cent q dozen. Pure water that has
been boiled and then cooled should
be used. To each Is to 20 quarts of
water quart of water-glass should
be added. The solution should be
prepared, placed in the jar or other
suitable vessel, and the fresh eggs
added from time to time until the
jar is filled, but be sure that there
is 2 inches of solution covering the
eggs. The eggs should not be wash
ed before packing, for washing in
lures the keeping quality, probably
by dissolving the mucilaginous coat
ing.
Limewater.-A good limewater
preservative may be made as follows:
Thirty gallons of water, 10 pounds
of salt, bushel of finely slaked lime.
After mixing thoroughly. allow the
mixture to stand two or three days,
and then remove the clear liquid by
dipping or by means of a siphon.
Place the liquid in a tub or other
suitable receptacle, and place the
eggs therein, or the eggs may be
placed in the vessel first and the
limewater poured over them. Have
about 2 inches above the eggs. Linn
ed eggs can be discerneo by the
roughness of the shell.
Before boiling eggs which have
been preserved in the foregoing
ways, the shell should be punctufed
with a needle, otherwise it is apt to
crack as soon as placed in hot water,
owing to the pores being closed.
Salt and BraR-Eggs can be pre-
servedfar several mpnthain dry salt.
