Paris, Oct 9.-The last paragraph of President Wilson's note made q deep impression on Parisians, and caused much favorable comment as it was taken by the population to di- Irectly concern the iIIohenzollern family and the military party of Ger many The general feeling is that the diplomatic tables have been turn ed upon Germany which tried to place the allies in difficult position and that Germany now finds herself face to face with a great problem which she attempted to force the al lies 10 solve.

than the average for the five years
preceding the outbreak of the Eu-

Production of Leading Food Crops
The farmers not only planted
these acreages, but they harvested
record crops of corn, oats, barley,
buckwheat, and Irish and sweet po-
tatoes. The total production of these
products and Of spring wheat and
rice was 5,771, $4,000 bushels, or
1904, $50, 900 bushels (twenty-six per
cent? more than in 1916, and 1907
$4,000 (twenty-one percent) more
than the average for the five year
period (1910-1914). Winter wheat and
rye are omitted from this comparison
because the 1917 harvests of these
crops were from sowings made in the
fall of 1916, before the United States
entered the war. It should be borne
in mind in this connection that the
percentage of soft corn this year was
also that the aggregate crop of spring
and winter wheat harvested in 1917
was short.
Live Stock on Farms and Ranges
During the first half of 1917, there
was particular apprehension lest the
number Of live stock be decreased. AS
a matter Of fact, owing to the greater
abundance of feedstuffs that the large
crops of the year made available and
the Yrouoi1inO
vealed most gratifying increase in
the principal classes of live stock-an
increase in the number of horses dur
ing the year of $4,000 or II per cent
of mules, 1o1, 900, or FL per cent; of
of mich cows, $4,000, or 1T per
cent;of other cattle, 1,857,000 or AS
per cent; of sheep, 1,2S4,000, or 81
per cent. and of swine, 1871, 900, or
ST. per cent. The increase of AS per
cent in the number Of "other cattle"
is due to the increase Of 10 per cent
in calves; 22.7 per cent in heifers for
milk; 3.5 per cent in other heifers;
a decrease of 80 per cent in steers,
! and an increase of 10 per cent in

1t will be of interest to note that
the number Of live stock estimated on
January 1, 1918, shows the following
increases over January 1, 1914, the
year before the beginning of the Eu-
ropean war: Horses, col, 900, or 80

especially noteworthy that within the
last year, for the first time in many
years, the number of sheep has shown
a tendency to increase.

OLD IRONS|DES
LAST VICTORY
100 YEARS AGO

It was just 1os years ago today,
Feb. 20, 1915, that the United States
frigate Constitution, better known as
"Old Ironsides," won the last victory
Of her triumphal career. The most
famous and successful of all the
early vessels of the American navy
was then commanded by Capt.
Charles Stewart, who, while the
American people were celebrating
the conclusion of peace between the
United States and Great Britain, was
then sailing off the Madeira Islands,
all unaware that the conflict was
over. On the twentieth Of February
the British sloops Of war Cyane and
Bevaus approached the Islands where
''Old Ironsides" was lying in wait for
her prey. The battle was swift and
decisive, and at its coclusion Stewart
was master Of the sisuation, and both
British vessels were in his possession.
Upon learning of the conclusion of
peace Capt. Stewart gave up his prizes.
The battle off the Madeira islands
marked the conclusion of the war
like career of "Old Ironsides," and
the frigate was hopelessly out of date

service in war. The Constitution was
built in Boston in 1898.
Capt. Charles Stewart was born in
Philadelphia He commenced his
career as a cabin-boy on a packet,
and before he attained his majority he
was a fuIl-fedged skipper. He en-
listed in the United States navy in 1898
and was given the rank of lieutenant
He fought the French pr1Vateers in
1900 and took part in the war with
the Barbarv States. His valor won
him the recognition of Congress.
Stewart was a captain when the
second war broke out between the
United States and England, and his
fighting qualities in that conflict won
for him the sobriquet of "old Iron
Sides" thus sharing the popular name
of his ship.
Capt. Stewart broke all records for
long service as an officer IN the United
States navy, for he remained in the
employ of Uncle Sam for seventy-one

1859, at the age of ninty-one, when
he held the rank Of rear-admiral.
After the battle at Madeira the Con-
stitution had a long period q idlenesst
but was later used for time as a
school ship and a receiving ship. In
1880 it was proposed that she be dis
mantled and sold, but popular indig-
nation, reflected in the poem "Old
Ironsides,'' by Oliver Wendell Holmes,
forced the naval authorities to recon-
slider their decision.
