NITRATE OF SODA

After some correspondence with
the Department at Washington con-
corning the probability of farmers
purchasing Nitrate Of Soda direct
from the Government at cost, !
have received the following state
ment from Secretary Houston.
z II have been giving a great deel
Of thought and attention to the
nitrate question, ! have been IN
daily touch with the War Indus
tries Board, which wasss to pur-
chase and deliver the material at
the Seaboard, and also with the
Slipping board Arrangements
were completed several weeks ago,
through the War Industries Board
under the immediate supervision
Of Mr.. Baruch, to purchase APP
100. 900 tons Of nitrate
of soda in Chile in accordance with
4he authorization for such purpose
in the Food Control Act. Because
Because of disturbed shipping con-
ditions it has been impossible until
recently definitely to secure facih-
ties for transporting the nitrate in
whole or Iii part. Within the las
few days preparations have been
completed for the delivery at the
seaboard during January Of $4,000
tons, and every reasonable assur-
ance has been given that supplies,
up to the 100, 900 tons, for the en-
suing months will be delivered.
EpeTy possible effort will be made
10 make certain these deliveries, bu
it should be understood that, on ac-
count Of existing situations, eircum-
stances over which there is no con.
troll might intervene.
j cannot state today exactly
Whak the price will be, but it will be
approximately $75 on board cars at
the seaboard. Farmers will have
20 pay freight charges to their local
stations, the State fertilizer Tag fee,
wfieE varies in different States but
will probably not average more than
25 centsa ton, and any other local
charges.
THE nitrate secured under the
appropriation will be sold only to
farmers for the own use during the
coming season, and generally not
in excess of the amounts used by
them heretofore. The Department
isnow arranging machinery for the
distribution of the material and will
give full publicity concerning the
details Of the matier.''

to this matter reaches me I will

RESOLUTIONS RAVE AN
EARLY GARDEN


It is an old custom for people to
take stock Of themselves at the close
Of each year and the first Of the
New Year is to resolve to overcome
the short comings A Splendid
custom it isl All Of them are not
kept, that's true, but some of them
are and they help some people
harm none.
This year let's bring a new,reso-
luton in the circle; bring it home
to the family; preparatory to the
table in the form Of an early gar
den. This will cntdown the gro
Gerry bills wonderfully and supply
the needed nourishments the hui
man system needs during the early
spring.
Early in January is the time to
oegln. delays are dangerous.
The following vegetables are sug-
gested for January planting;
Cabbage can be set in the garden
from January to April. Set the
plants in the soil to the bottom
leaves.
Carrots, plant same time as cab
bags, and cover seed about one inch.
Sow thickly.
Kale, January to March, cover
seed about one inch. This is 4.
good winter green.
Lettuce, January to April, cover
seed one inch.
Onion sets, Apri GOV i from one
to two inches; row hOu be from
eighteen inches to tu, feet wide and
soil well prepared.
-Parsnipa, January to April, ore
inch deep and SOW in rich loapiy
soil.
English peas, January to March,
cover about two inches. and for a
succession Of this crop plant every
two weeks. This will give you
fresh peas the entire season.
irish potatoes, plant from Janu- !
airy fifteenth to April tho first. POI
tatoes should be- covered about four
'or five inches deep; rows three feet
apart and from II to is inches in
drill. Probably the best varieties
for this planting are EARLY Rose
aud Bliss Trump. Seed potatoes
should always be clean and SOUND
Turnips may be planted latter
part of the month.
There are both pleasure and prof
itin home garden II you hayo
only corner Of ground use every
inch Of it. Don't forget the natural
store in the soil She will deliver
you the goods II you will only do
your part.
Much FOOD is in the tillage Of
the poor: but theresis THAT is
destroyed for wanting jungment."

FOES LINES ON
 WEST SHORTENED BY SIXTY MILES
This Gives Allies Additional
 Divisions Which Were , Engaged Elsewhere.

Paris, Sept. 4.-The entente allies have reduced the length of the west ern battle front by nearly sixty miles since July IS by pressing back the Germans from the territory which thew conquered in their offensives of March, April, and July. entente allied commander in chief a considerable number of divisions which heretofore had been engaged in holding the line.
 Overcome Resistance.
 General Mangin's army has been busiily engaged in the last three days over coming bitter resistance by the Germans to it's advance in the south ern area of the battle front. His forces have marked time in some in stances and at points retreated slight ly but they now have succeeded in getting the better of the enemy's de- fense and have resumed their slow but sure advance.
 Their forward push is threatened the important town of Coucy-Le-C Chat eau and its fall is hourly expected here. The Germans however, are re- sisting the forward movement to the best of their ability, as the fall of the forest of St. Gobain, which the ad- vance threatens, would entail re- treat of General Won Boehn's armies to Laon.
 A rupture of the Hindenburg line in the south would thus be effected and as in the line already has been smashed in the north by British troops withdrawal of the whole German front from the North Sea to Rheims would then be forced.
 Their Only Hope.
 The Paris military critics today treat mainly the threatening breach in the Hindenburg line in the north, pointing out that the enemy now IS forced to forego the use of prepared artificial defenses to fall back on the natural obstacles which the writers argue, are the only hope of the Ger man command in the present state of disorganization among it's divisions.
 The enemy. the critics show, will have before Cambrai a series of nat ural defenses which may help him stay the march of the British armies momentarily.
 To Make Stand.
 The general assumption is what the German stand will be made along the line of the Canal Du Nord passing west of Marquion. east of Enchy-E En- Artois and from Escuvras to Hermies.
 There is every sign of exterem dis organization among the enemv's for ces at vulnerable points in his line. To the north of Peronne along a front extending many kilometres, troops ot all kinds have been premiscusously col lected and thirty battalions of this heterogeneous fighting material have been thrown slovenly into the breach, In front of Cambrai, Colonel Fabry

NEGRO SOLDIERS DEATH SENTENCES
 MADE FOR LIFE Rioters, at Houston, Texas, Get Communication From
 President Wilson.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Death sen- tences of ten negro soldiers who par ticipated in the riot at Houston, Tex, August 23, 1917, have been commuted to life Imprisonment by President Wilson.
 In six other cases the president af- firmed the death sentences because the condemned men had been found guilty of having deliberately and with great cruelty murdering civilians.
 This action, announced today by the war department, concludes the cases of twenty-nine negroes given the death penalty for their part in the riot. Thirteen were executed and the presi- dent was called upon to review the findings in sixteen cases.
 Tho president, found that the ten whose sentences he commuted had not been convicted of personally and di- rectly causing deaths. The soldiers involved were not named in the war departments statement.
 "I commute the remaining sen- tences," the president said in state- ment attached to the record, "because l believe :he lesson of this lcwiess riot will have been adequately pointed out by the action already taken and that now directed, and also because I desire the clemency here ordered Ito be recognition of the splendid loy- alty of the race to which these sol diers belong and an inspiration to the people of that race to further zeal and service to the country they have citi- zens and for the liberties of which so many of them are now bravely bear ing arms at the very front of the great fields of battle"
 The president reviewed the record at length. emphasizing the gravity of the rioters crime and the care taken by the military authorities to- give them justice.
