and much of the seed is of poorer quail
ity than in normal years. Therefore.
every farmer before sowing should
know what proportion Of the seed he
buys cannot be expected to grow. II
one lot contains 96 per cent Of seed
that will grow and another lot con-
tains 81 per cent of seed that will grow
it will take three bushels of the "a per
cent seed to sow the same number of
acres that two bushels Of the 90 per
cent will SOW.
This is Important from the stand
point of cost alone when red clover
seed Is selling for 500 or more per
bushel. 1t Is much more necessary,
however, to know the quality of seed
in order that the rate Of seeding may
be proportional to the quality, so that
enough live seed will be sowed to in
sure a stand in the field. First know
how much of the seed may grow and
then sow accordingly.

SCREENING SEED MAY PRE-
VENT NEW DISEASE.

Screening out the shriveled
grains from wheat seed before
planting will remove one cause
of spreading the new bacterial
disease of wheat which has been
discovered in many states Of the
middle West. This has been
learned by specialists Of the
United States Department Of Ag-
riculture who, in cooperation
with the experiment stations OF
Kansas and Wisconsin, are
studying the problem of control
ling this disease. Wheat ker-
nels that are plump do not con-
tain bacterial cavities, but shriv-
eled ones often do.

Old Home Sunday

II you subtract the automobile from
Sunday what have you left? Golf col
lapses, the beach recedes, friends van
iSh; only home remans-~home that CON
venient sprngboard from which good
Americans have leaped joyfully into the
sea of life.
There were many cries of anguish
when gasless Sundays first cast their
shadows before them. To faithful sup
porters Of things as they are the whole
scheme Of life crashed into chaos when
for whole day it was to become impos-
sible to leap from home to automobile
and whirl thence at % cents a gallon.
Yet, strange as it seems to tell, all has
not been lost. Stranger even yet, much
has been gained. The hectic, throbbing,
pungent, crowded Sunday of the automo-
bile has gone. In its place has arrived
the most soothing, odorless, quietly enter
tanning novelty any Of US has ever
known-a really quiet day at home. Nov
city it is to-day. Not so very long ago, in
those peaceful years before gasolene
spread out its magic carpet to whisk
humans over hills and across cities al
most before a gulped breakfast could find
it's level, the old home Sunday was the
regulation thing. Without it and all its
concomitants of boiled shirts, parade to
church and, in the more daring house
holds, the Rollo books, no proper Ameri-
can home was complete.
Perhaps we might be bored by these
peaceful Sundays if we had enough of
them. We were once bored by them, and
the brightest blessing loses it's plate with
wear. But as they have returned thus
far no boon of the war has granted such
blessed relief. Just to awake of a Sum
day morning with nothing on earth to do
nothing that one could do, has yielded
the most invigorating thrill. No start
ing tee to reach at GAP or be forever
damned by your partner; no swim to
hustle off to before dinner, with the Sun
day papers half read; no Joneses to tea
with on the way to supper at the Smiths
while the children walled bitterly for a
ride! Just to uncoil ones legs leisurely
tentatively, over long, slow second cup
of coffee and look about ones home!
There is the great discovery of the
war. Home, the springboard we had all
known and thought we appreciated and
loved. But who could really know or
love so temporary q perch? Children,
wives, books, pictures, porches, windows,
gardens. trces-whss unexpected riches
New-York tribune., 1918-09-19

into two hostile groups, one fighting for
world domination, the other for world free
dom, we can have little patience with them.
We even begin to wonder how we ever fos-
tered such queer, unreasonable creatures;
how they were ever permitted to develop in
our midst, and what grave fault in our
selves produced such an unwholesome reac-
tlon 1t seems strange to us that these per-
Verted creatures can not or will not see our
position in this world struggles; that thew
can not or will not appreciate their own re-
laton to it. They persist in their efforts
to hamper and delay US, without reasoning
apparently, what would happen to them II
we were defeated. Our laws are generous
we simply send them to jail to keep them
out Of mischief
Now, what we to do with all these
troublesome tinkers? Haven't we an island
somewhere at safe distance where we
could send them and let them fight it out
among themselves? Then when our bows
bring the Kaiser back with them we might
send him there to rule the "Isle of Misfts. :"

Cardinal Farley

John Murphy Farley was born April
20, 1912, at Newtown- Hamilton, County
Armagh, Ireland, the son of an innkeeper
He died at Orienta Point, New York,
September II, Archbishop of New York,
and Cardinal Of the Roman Catholic
Church. In span Of seventy-six years
he had, step by step, climbed the ladder
from humble country curate to Cardinals
secretary, from pastor of a small flock to
shepherd of a million and quarter souls
Vigor and ability, a love of duty and
an unbounded capacity for hard work
steadily increased his influence and pop
ularity and gained him recognition from
the dignitaries of the Church.
Many were his good works. Forceful
and tactful in pulpit utterances, he was
also an author and contributor to peri
odical literature, and managed the many
business affairs intrusted to him with
great ability. The work of the Catho~
lie Encyclopedia was launched by him.
He was whole -heartedly for America.
"No permanent peace" he said, "can
be hoped for, except through the defeat
of Germany in the field or the repudia-
ton of the Prussian autocracv bv the
German people themselves" He lent his
great power within the Church to the
aid of the government. He was a leader
in the organization of the Catholic War
Fund. He supported the Liberty loans
with all the influence at his command.
He lived simple life, loved his fell
low man, fought good fight.

The Lesson

Quite unintentionally, and at great
cost 10 its prestige and reputation, The
Neso York Times performed q notable
war service by embracing the enemy's
proposal for a secret peace parley. The
Indignation thereby enkindled is like
barrier of fire against further sugges-
tions of compromise. No one will soon
dare to repeat that offence.
The American people are slow to an
ger and terrible in the execution of a
righteous resolution. This is their war.
They have been prepared in spirit be-
fore time for every measure of self
sacrifice involved. 1t required an incl
dent like this to humble the vanity of
those who have thought themselves the
leaders of public sentiment. The people
are leading themselves, or, rather, one
should say, they are led by an intuition
of faith which is stronger than reason
and will transform the world, without
knowing too clearly how or why. We are
launched upon an errand of which only
the direction is certain. The end belongs
to our destiny.
This feeling has crystallized with
amazing rapidity in the last few months
The Times evidently was unaware of the
phenomenon. 1t thought peace could be
debated still in practical. terms--in the
language of a time that is past. 1t has
learned costly lesson. That is unimpor-
tant. Every pacifist has learned some
thing. Even that is relatively of less
moment than the fact that The Timess
Misrepresentation of American senti-
ment has been corrected in manner
which puts the whole world upon notice
that when we say we will make this
place of human habitat safe for democ-
racy we mean it literally, and will do it
or die

TWo Ways

IT'S long, long journey to the weary
end of war
While the shells burst above into star
on colored star
And the guns lift and flash like the North
ern Lights afar.
It's long, long journey where the sniper's
bullet speeds,
And the hid machine gun sows all the air
with deadly Seeds
While each graphing hour brings forth
1liads Of noble deeds
It's long, long journey as the Huns are
hammered back
By the big guns and the small. bavonot srd
gas attack,
Where the fields blasted bare and the
towns e'charred and black.
It's short, short journey to the peace that
must not be,
To the ready lips that wait for the cbaaI
OF liberty
To the Judas peace that waits with its
thirty pence for feel

How Influenza Is Carried

Relatively few people understand how
an infection can be carried from one
person to another, and SO they go cheer
fully into any dangcr-or act as car
riers to others; it may be to their chill
dren or those closest to them. Prac-
tcally all disease is now considered to be
the result Of some infection, which, in
modern parlance, means the growth in
the body of some disease producing germ
or parasite. A few exceptions are hay
fever and chronic ptomaine or protein
poisonings. These disease germs are so
small that most of them are near the
lower limit of visibility by the highest
powered microscopes--and some arc far
beyond this This microscopic fineness
means that they are not, contrary to
most belief, very easily caught by the
air. They must have vehicle of some
sort, like dust or microscopic droplets of
water. In the modern view, many of
the respiratory, or "inhaled," diseases,
like the influenza, are carried by these
droplets.
The idea is this: A very small drop
of water, as every one knows, has
strong skin-tenson, or tendency to hang
together-the so-called "capillary" at
traction. The smaller the drop the
greater the tension, so that very small
drop will hold minute particles, like
germs, very tenaciously, and keep them
moist and relatively warm. The germs,
we know, grow chiefly on the warm,
moist membranes of the nose and
throat. They would stay there if they
were not sucked up from their nests by
the droplets of moisture which line these
passages. But even these are onlv
mildly exhaled by ordinary breathing.
and are expelled in vast numbers onlv
by a violent gust like a cough or
sneeze This is why coughing and sneez-
ing are so disastrous to the human race.
A large part of the devastating plaques
and epidemics which have swept off mill
ions in their course have been coughing
New-York tribune., 1918-09-19

and sneezing diseases. The exceptions
are those contagious like yellow fever,
typhus and the Manchurian plague,
which are now known to be transmitted
by direct inoculation by mosquitoes, lice,
tleas, ticks, biting flies or some other
biting insect
All the intlucnzas, Spanish or other,
are now thought to be chiefly drop
let-borne diseascs-that is propagated
chiefly by coughing and sneezing. They
are what are known as carrier infec-
ticns, and the disagrceable discovery
here is that great part of the carriers
some physicians believe the far great
er part-are not the open, declared
cases, but the mild, or "fruste," cases,
showing nothing but an ordinary "cold"
or light cough. The reasoning is that
in epidemics the infection is widespread
or even general. Only few individuals
succumb, i. e., show the malady clearly
But there is always a great increase of
"colds," coughs and "bronchitises," many
hardly noticed-for just this reason the
most dangerous Carriers"
The moral is to avoid the cougher and
the sneezer as pest. If a really deadly
epidemic like the black plague were to
descend upon us they would soon be
outlawed and banned Because the in
f1uenZa is not terrible scourge it is
tolerated.

Shall the State Be Tammanyized? :?

Judge Nathan l.. Miller, who made the
formal address to the candidates on the
Republican State ticket at the Republi-
can Club on Tuesday night, officially in
forming them that they were the nom
inees of their party, used plain words in
defining the main issue before the voters
of this state in the present campaign.
Probably no one is better fitted by
training or experience to reflect the
average Republican view than Mr.. Miller.
He has seen the operations of the Demo-
cratic machine at short range and long
range. AS State Controller in the early
zoos he became familiar with the relation
of government TO the dollar; as judge he
had time to analyze. No one mentally
we'll balanced will treat his judgment as
the illumination of fippant or trouble
making mind.
"The issue in this campaign cannot be
disguised" said the judge. "The people
must choose between the record Of the
patriotic service, of the orderly and de-
cent administration of the public business
for the last four years, and the record
which Tammany Hall has made every
time within the memory of this genera
tion that it has been in complete control
either in this city or the state. Only
once before during that time has it dared
nominate Tammany candidate for Gov
ernor, but Sulzer was only a by-product,
and he claimed to be the candidate of the
people. Tammany has now grown bold,
and has put at the head of its state ticket
a simon-pure, dyed-in -the-wool, thorough
bred Tammany candidate whom it did
not dare nominate for the Office of Mayor
last year. The time was when there was
a strong, virile leadership of the Demo-
cratic party in this state, independent of
Tammany Hall. But that time has
passed. The Democratic party of the
state has been completely Tammanyized,
and it remains to be seen whether the
state itself shall BE Tammanyzed."
Despite the partial submersion OF
Every one in the grea- wave of war pa
triotism and the pervasiveness of the
idea that it is no time now to be narrow
toward or distrustful of a brother
American, every lover of truth and JUS
tice will come pretty near reaching full
agreement with Judge Miller.
The issue is Shall the State of New
York be Tammanyized?

Sir have waited twcnty-four hours to

I and my family have for years read "The

bewildered and Justly resentfu as is the
case always when that which we have be
leved in faithfully proves rotten and what
respect turns disreputable, and | am
convinced that thousands of loyal Ameri-

Have you lost all sense of responsibility
and respect for what is clean and sincere ,
What could have induced you to stab in

overseas and at home who are giving their
lives for you, yours and ours?
Do we now have to think of 1.-THE Times"

What mad fit Of ultra originality and NOR
