one-seventh of their weight Paper pip
ing equal in weight to copper pipes

Political Observations.

Three Missouri Democrats are being
groomed to make the race for the Demo
cratic nomination for senator against
Senator William j. Stone-Governor
Frederick ID. Gardner, former Gov.
David r. Francis and former Gov
Joseph w. Folk. Each Of these has a
strong following, and if all should be
candidates at the primary the anti
Stone vote would be so divided that in
all probability Stone would be renom-
mated. 1t is not surprising, therefore,
that Democratic leaders in the state
have started a movement to bring the
candidates together. with a view Of
picking the strongest man among them
to win over stone and to obtain a
promise from the Others that they will
not be candidates.
Practically all the Republican candi
dates for senator, congressman and

Christian Recorder
In the readjustment after the
war which we are fighting to
make the world safe for dem
ocracy, what part shall we
play? Obviously our hope is that
out of the war "A sentiment may
come to make America safe for
democracy. We hope that here
at home, democracy may mean
something more than a sham
that it may mean that govern
ments derive their just power
from the consent Of the govern
ed, whether they are white or
black; that South Carolina and
Mississippi have no more right to
intimidatc and virtually dis
franchise its black citizens than
the Germans have to rule Bel
GUM without her consent. That
the Constitution of the United
States with the amendments
thereof, is no more a mere scrap
Of paper than is a German
treaty; that lyneking, Gim-CrOw-
ism, and other illegal discrim-
nations against the Negro are no
more righteous in America than
Kaiserism is in Europa. We hope
the war will clarity the vision of
America, and nerve us to set
about to make the democracy of
which we boast more than a mere
by-word. In fact, We believe
that since we have entered world
politics, Europe will be quick to
see our hypocrisy in reference to
our So-called democracy.

TREATMENT FOR
SEED POTATOES

The chamber of commerce and ag-
riculture wishes to advise those who
are contemplating planting potatoes
this year that it is important to treat
the seed. The government iii t .ne::
last circular on potatoes gives desir-
able formula for treating seed pota-
toes, which is formalin or corrosive
sublimate solutions which is to be
used before cutting and planting
them. The formulas recommended are
as follows:
Formalin treatment: Add 1 pint
formalin to 80 gallons of water. Soak
potatoes in this solution ~ to 2
hours. Remove and dry.
Corrosive sublimate treatment
Dissolve 4 OF. of m~ercuric chloride
corrosive sublimate) in 80 gallons
of water. Soak potatoes in solution
IN to 2 hours.
Mercurin choloride dissolves very
slowly in cold water, but rather quick
ly in hot water. 1t is desirable there
fore to dissolve the crystals in small
quantity Of hot water and then add
to it the required volume. Use wood
en- vessels only. The solution is very
poisonous, therefore care must be ex-
ercised in it's use if accidents are to
be avoided. The solution should not
be used oftener than four times. Care
should be taken to prevent contact of
seed after treatment with infected
containers of any kind.
