Council Aspirations
Director George V. Halliday of the
publicity department of the state
council told how the council is edit

films, which are showing daily, self
supporting and returning some profit
to help defray the expenses of the
commission. He told what the coun.
Gil hopes to do in the Ignite educa.
tional propaganda by filming pictures
showing the production of Ignite and
the proper methods of consumption,
which would be shown in company
with the councils war pictures. He
spoke Of the Importance of breaking

state could be induced to purchase a
fleet of several hundred low-priced
tractors to be placed at the disposal
of farmers who are short of men and
motive power.

DR.. Thomas F. Moran of Purdue

as personal representative of Presi.

program tentatively outlined. He ap.
proved the plan of adopting public
ity program adapted to the needs of
the state. This could not be done
effectively at Washington, he said, be-
ca.ae the news agencies there must
cover so many districts whose inter
ests widely differ. Duplication of
publicity work at Washington is una
voidable, he stated, and he strongly
commended the cooperation of the
press and state council of defense in
publicity plan such as proposed
which would be pertinent and effec-
tive.

WITH THE EDITORS
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT

The conviction of James A. Peterson, repubi-
can candidate for the United States senate OF MIN
nesota, and of j. O. Bentall, candidate for governor
of Minnesota on the socialist ticket, Of violating
the espionage act, followed by prison sentences OF
four and five years respectively, must be rather
disconcerting to persons in Minnesota and neigh
boring states-including North Dakota-who
have been arrested and are now awaiting trial on
similar or identical charges.
Shortly after the United States entered the
great war member Of the administration cabinet
advised all pro-Germans and those who favored
peace at any price to keep their mouths shut. At
the time, The Chronicle thought the advice was
rather harshly phrased but since it was given our
jails and federal prisons have become pretty well
damned with people who failed to catch the drift
Of the suggestion, Notwithstanding its bluntness.
How many hundreds or thousands are congratu-
lating themselves that they got the idea right OH
the bat it is impossible to say.
The case of James A. Peterson seems especially
tragic. A year ago there was perhaps no man IN
Minnesota whose staunch loyalty and thorough
going Americanism was less open to question than
his Today he stands convicted of a horrid crime.
The verdict of guilt bars his candidacy for an ex-
allied office, and he faces loss of citizenship and
dreary years behind prison walls. The tragedy OF
the case lies more nearly in the fact that Mr..
Petersons offense sprang from motives which
would not, under normal conditions, occasion the
least criticism. But present conditions are alb
normal, and it is to be deeply regretted that so
many good citizens fail to craps the fact that there
is but one great issue before the country today
the successful prosecution of the war. Any word
or act which tends to retard or initiate against
this supreme undertaking is intoerable and should
meet with swift punishment.
Bentall's offense, while of the same general
character as Peterson's, was more logical in its
development. In times Of national stress socialism
naturally lends itself to disloyalty And this is
so because socialism, in the best sense, is broadly
humanitarian. Socialists think in terms Of classes
rather than of nations; in terms of social justice
rather than of patriotsm-love of country. And
50 we find the Bolsheviki in Russia deliberately
destroying constitutional government in the very
hour Of its supreme peril, and at the same time i'm
periling the cause of world democracy. And we
find their compatriots in this country talking
about war Of 'sthe rotten rich" obstructing the
draft and preaching their everlasting gospel Of
discomfort.
That may do well enough in time Of peace. It
won't do at all when "the Huns are ct our gates. !"
The Petersons and the Bentalls must shut up or
submit to the righteous rigors Of the law.-The

CORRECT, MR.. CHANCELLOR

Anyhow, Bonar Law, chancellor Of the British
exchequer, feels cheerful about it.
Last year, Great Britain loaned the allies
$2,525, 100000, while the United States loaned
them 81, $50 100000. 1T is only necessary for US
to lean on the United States to the amount the
other allies lean on u.s. In other words, we are
self-supporting," says Bonar Law.
Passing ones debts along to third party
surely is happy process. But Uncle Sam is the
reliable and willing party to lean on, all right.

Give falf The Road.

Some complaint has come re-
garding the giving of half the
road in case of an automobile
coming up behind a team. The
parties claim that when they
come up behind a fellow with a
team he stubbornly refuses to
give any of the road, no matter
if there is plenty of room to turn
out. Now the law recognizes the
right of both the man with the
team and the man with the auto,
and these rights should be re.
spected. There are plenty OF
men who are running autos who
should be driving OK teams and
vice versa, but all men should not
be treated that way. The law
says that when a man is over
taken by a faster vehicle, the
man driving the slower vehicle
shall turn out and give half of
the beaten path.

Select The Laying Hen.

With present high prices and
shortage of grams it is not only
bad poultry practice but almost
criminal to feed these much
needed grains for human food to
a non producing hen. The only
solution to the problem lies IN
eliminating these boarders.
According to l.. S. Kleinsch.
midt, of the Poultry Division of
the Pennsylvania State College,
the indications that bird is lay
ing and is quahhed to remain in
the pen are: A clear, full, bright
eye with no appearance of slug.
glshness; pale shanks aud beak:
white fllbby vent; depth and
breadth IN the region of the abdo'
men, with thin pliable pin bones;
prominent, red, wavy comb; toe
nails worn, indicating activity;
condition of breast fairly we'll
aeshed.
These characteristics coupled
with late moltlng of feathers will
point out the high producing
fowls in your flock.
The nonlaylng hen usually
stands partially erect, like an
Indian Runner Duck, has yellow
shanks and beak, fat head, is fat
IN region of abdomen, with small
puckering vent and inclined to
molt early.
Culllng should begin about the
middle of June or about the time
the first hens stop layiug and
continue until late IN September,
or until the flock Is reduced to
make room for the we'll matured
pullets. If only one culling is
made it should be IN Septembe
and include all hens that have
molted or stopped laying or that

When This War will End.

Every body Is naturally inter
ested in knowing when this war
will end. The military and his.
torical experts have all tried their
Hands at answering this big
question. But the best predic-
Jlon we ehave yet seen comes from
, Major General Leonard Wood.
Speaking before the alumni of
the University of Michigan, ,,'he
said that no man living could tell
exactly when 1t would cease.
"But," he added, sin my opin-
ion 1t will not end uutil we have
won."
That is the American answer
to the universal query. We do
not believe IN drawn battles IN
this country. The national'ten-
dency is always for fl ght to a
finish. We did not go into this
struggle lightly. We did rot
spend a generation in preparing
or it as did the military depots
If Germany. Bnt after 1t had
started ard the liberty of the
world was threatened, we took
onr place on the fighting line,
calmly, deliberately and with a
full realization of the cost IN blood
aud treasure.
1t is unthlnkabIe that we wonld
have doue this with anything
but final victory IN view. We
hope it may end soon. 1t may
last Tor years, but in any event,
as General Wood says, the end
can only come with victory for

one of the greatest enemies to
mankind in the temperate zone.
He is an enemy which breeds in

filth wherever he goes. The way
to defeat him is to cover and dis
infect all garbage and stable
litter, screen all food, and then

Increase In Spring Pigs.

Pennsylvania farmers during
the spring season took particular
interest IN pig raising with the
result that there has been an in.
crease of SIX per cent. over last
year IN the number Of spring
pigs and this will mean consider
ably more pork raised locally
than a year ago.
Reports just made by the
Pennsylvania Department of Ag
riculture show that the number
of spring pigs as compared with
average years is 50 per cent and
that thus Is SIX per cent. above
the average of sc per cent. The
far mer has had a blg question to
debate on the pug question as the
prevailing prices for hogs and the
oorrespondingly high prices for
feed about balance. Many of the
farmers fed the soft corn of the
past season IN large quantities
to hogs with good results and q
