SANITATION AND sHIPBUILDING
What the United States learned at
great cost in digging the Panama
canal is beginning TO pay rich div
idends in aiding the construction OF
the great new merchant marine now
building. Comparable in size and i'm
portance. the two jobs have other
striking similarities in the problems
Of sanitation which threatened the
success OF work on the isthmus. but
which are being solved quickly in
this country through radical reforms
in health regulation and community
spirit found so effective there.
Under direction of Lieutenant Col
onel Philip s. Doane, the shipping
boards department of health and
sanitation is supervising every one
Of the scores of shipyards for the
protection of workers. Eager CO.
operation has been received from
state, municipal and industrial
agencies. which recognize that the
improved conditions sought to be
created are of more than passing
benefit in the matter OF health, as
well as good business" Results
have justified the efforts by lessing
the labor turnover, decreasing the
loss OF time due to sickness and
Fastening the output OF the ships
needed to win the war.
Some striking instances Of the de-
partment's work we're made public
recently by the shipping board.
Some weeks ago, at a little ship
yard recently set down in a rather
sleepy Atlantic coast town an out
break Of dysentery was reported
among shipyard workers. The ship
ping boards sanitary engineer found
that, while the drinking water sup
ply used in the yards was entirely
pure, being chlorinated, there was
a temporary water supply for con-
crete mixing. In which polluted river
water was used. Workmen had
drunk from the concrete water sup
ply, despite warning signs. As the
best way Of eliminating all chances
in the matter, the sanitary engineers
arranged for purifying the concrete
water too, using chloride Of lime to
make II safe to drink.
The Pacific coast threw It's energy
into shipbuilding to such good pur-
pose that It launched the first mer-
chant ships and made the first ship
building records. Likewise, in It's
eagerness to build ships, the Pacific
coast occasionally overlooked good
sanitation.
One yard in that locality was
handicapped by sickness. workmen
we're hired only to quit, and during a
single week the superintendent Of

GOOD FAITH WOULD DEPEND UP.
ON HUNS WITHDRAWN FROM
INVADED TERRITORY.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington, Oct. president Will
son. has met Germany's peace note
with a move which will at one stroke
develop whether her proposal is sin
cere or merely a pretension, and, If a
pretension it be. fully justify for all
time before the world the prolonging
of the war with force to the uttermost,
force without stint or KNIT. At the
some time the President has left wide
open the door to peace.
The text of the communication
handed to the charge of Switzerland in
Washington follows:
Sir: | have the honor to acknowl-
edge, on behalf of the President, your
note of Oct 6, inclosing the communi-
cation from the German government
to the President, and am instructed
by the President to request you to
make the following communication to
the imperial German chancellor:
"'Before making reply to the re-
quest of the imperial German govern
ment and in order that that reply shall
be candid and straightforward as the
momentous interests involved require.
the President of the United States
deems it necessary to assure himself
of the exact meaning of the note OF
the imperial chancellor
Does the imperial chancellor mean
that the imperial German government
accepts the terms laid down by the
President In his address to the Con-
gress of the Urited States on Jan. 8
last and in subsequent addresses, and
that it's object in entering into discus
sions would be only to agree upon the
practical details of their application?
THE President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion Of an
armistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose a cessation of arms
to the governments with which the
government of the United States is as
sociated against the central powers,
so long as the armies of those powers
are upon their soil. The good faith Of
any discussion would manifestly de-
pend upon the consent of the central
powers Immediately to withdraw their
forces everywhere from invaded ter
ritory.
"The President also feels that he
is justified in asking whether the i'm
perial chancellor is speaking merely
for the constituted authorities of the
empire who have so far conducted the
war. He deems the answer to these
questions vital from every point Of
view.
Accept, sir, the renewed assur-
ances of my high consideration.

ORDER FERTILIZER NOW

Farmers are urged by the U. S. de-
rartment of agriculture to place o.
ders at once for fertilizers needed for
fall wheat. Transportation facilities
require that cars be loaded to a max
imum capacity and delay in ordering,
it is said, may result in a repetition of
last springs experience, when many
farmers failed to receive fertilizer and
acid phosphate until after planting
time.
It is urged that every means be US
ed to secure such active cooperation
from both dealer and consumer, that
orders may be on hand early enough
this summer to enable manufacturers
to send out every car loaded to capa-
city, plus 10 per cent. When the nee
essity for this action is brought forci-
bly, to. the attention of the farmer,
upon whose response success depends,
the cooperation will reach 100 per
cent.
It is good opportunity for farmers
to purchase comparatively and thus Sc
cure the benefits in reduced costs, by
virtue of buying in car lots. 1t may
be the means of avoiding considerable
delay which may be expected if farm
ers wait until the last minute to order
their fertilizer for the fall crops.

During early September additional

English peas, lettuce, mustard, collard,
kale, radish, turnep, carrot, beet, spin
ach and rape. Rape will stand the
winter and make exceptionally good

Prize Taker or Yellow Danver onions
should be planted in October. In West
Tennessee, turnips, radishes, spinach
and peas may be sown during the early
days of the month.
In the late fall sow rape, or rye, or
crimson clover for chickens and also
for green manure crop to turn under
in the spring.
If the ground is dry at planting time
POUR some water in the burrows, plant,
cover and then lay some burlap or even
some boards on the rows. This will
conserve the moisture, prevent baking
and insure a stand. Remove covering
as soon as the plants are through the
ground.
Stir the soil between the rows be-
fore the crop comes up.
