They took real Burley tobacco. grown

natural moisture driven off by toastins;
made it into cigarettes. called them

and offered them to the public.
Theresul has been the greatest demand

SCHWAB WILL
COME HERE TO
HOLD PARLEY
With Piez and Hurley He
Will Discuss Ship Build
ing Today.

Charles NJ Schwab. new Director
General of Shipbuilding. will con-
fer all day today with Charles Piez,
vice president OF the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, whose duties as
general manager of the feet Mr..
Schwab will take over.
Today's conference will be also TO
arrange for a broad working basis
for Mr.. Schwab's new office and his
scope of power. Although the an
nouncement of Mr.. Schwab's appoint
ment defined his power as absolute.
ii will be inevitably intertwined with
that of Mr.. Piez and Chairman Hur-
, ley.
That the creation of a Director
Generalship of Shipbuilding will
achieve a harmonious triumvirate
rather than a new big boss'' is
indicated by the attitude of Mr..
Schwab in relation to defining his
authority.
We'll write You a letter, defining
your powers" was the proposal of
the Shipping Board to Mr.. Schwab.
according to one of the Shipping
Board officials.
Never mind any letter" was Mr..
! Schwab's reply, Just let's get to-
gether and talk over what has to
be done"
So today's conference was arrang-
ed. not with the idea of finding just
what would bound Mr.. chwab's ju-
risdiction, but rather how speedily
he could take over all powers nee
essary to his share of ship produc-
tion.
There is no question. II is generally
understood, of any changes follow
ing Mr.. Schwab's taking Office, ex-
cept what minor changes he will
make in the procedure or personnel
Of the construction organization. The
general division of authority OF the
three men who now head the ma
tion's shipbuilding will be: Mr.. Hur-
ley for policy; Mr. Piez for admin
istration; Mr.. Schwab for ship con-
struction.

House WILL SETTLE
wheat Price TODAY

Whether wheat shall remain at
$2.20 a bushel or go to $3.50 will
be fought out in the House today.
Unanimous consent was reached
last night for a vote.
Representative Lever. of South
Carolina, chairman of the commit
tee and A administration leader.
said last night that he was pre-
pared to declare for price fixing OF
cotton. if, as he expects. higher
price-for-wheat champions chal-
lenge him.
Lever is the first southerner to
take this stand. Wheat farmers
have assailed the administration re-
peatedly for alleged favoritism to-
ward the South's leading crop.
"At any time said Lever last
night. "the military authorities say
price-fixing of cotton is necessary.
1 shall vote for it. I am confident
the South will sustain me. and II
it did not. I would rather retire than
serve a district so unmindful of a

GARDEN LESSON NO. 80.
BY PROF. THOMAS SHAW,

"a athOr OF "Flrst frtnciphcb ot AE-
rieulture,, aDry Land Farm
Ing" "weeds and How to
Eradicate Them" Etc.
In some parts Of the United States,
including those of the Northwest. the
gardens Of 1917 were more or less
disappointing. This was owing in
part to peculiarities Of season. but
more probably to lack of knowledge
as how best to meet these weather
conditions. Among the crops that
were disappointments in many gar
dens were potatoes, because Of the
presence of early blight, caused or
at least aggravated by hot weather
when the potatoes were showing an
exuberance of growth.
The man with the small garden
can usually overcome this difficulty
by early planting of early varieties.
They will be past the danger stage
before the hot weather comes. This
can be most surely accomplished by
selecting seed of very early vari-
eties, as the Irish Cobbler and Early
Ohio. Select :ubers about the size
of a small hen-egg. Place them
in trays of shallow boxes side by
side with the tip end upward. Paste
board boxes will do.
In three or four weeks a strong
heavy sprout will be developed in
each potato. These sprouts should
not be broken when planting the tu-

deners can nave potatoes from two
to three weeks earlier than by plant
ing in the ordinary way. Then it is
that potatoes are highest in price.
Should freezing weather threaten
after planting in the ground, a little
soil may be drawn over them. This
should be drawn down later with a
wide-tooth rake.
In the small garden the grower
OF potatoes should strike a line, and
along this dig holes with a spade
every nine to twelve inches and to
the depth of about five inches. One
tuber or piece of tuber should be
dropped in each hole and covered
to half the depth, the balance Of
the earth drawn down later when
the sprouts have resumed growth.
A few days after planting run the
rake over the ground to kill weeds
that will be sprouting. and repeat
the operation IL necessary until the
potatoes are up. Then hoe or use

which should be from twenty-four

BADGER STATE
DEFENDEDBY
LOYAL CITIZEN
W. P. Bloodgood, However,
Wants Disloyal Punished
by Army Rule.

Representing the loyal American
element OF Wisconsin, W. p. Blood
good, chairman of the council of de-
fense of Milwaukee County. ap-
peared yesterday before the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs to
urge the passage of the new Cham
berlain bill to transfer jurisdiction
over seditious and disloyal offend
ers to military tribunals.
Wisconsin Is anxious to purge it.
self of the suspicion of being dis
loyal, was the message which Mr..
Bloodgood. brought to the commits
tee at its first hearing upon the
bill. He declared that the time has
passed when the criminal courts
can pass upon offenders of this
class. and that trial by courtmar-
tial Is the only remedy for bring
inn about q cessation of their ac-
tivity. He told the committee that
the bill should be passed as quickly
as possible in order that the vicious
and disloyal elements of his State
as well as those of other States
may be gotten rid of.
Fears Unfortunate Happenings.
The people out my way are like
ly to go back to primitive meth
DDS if something is not done soon, "
was the witness statement. IF
something is not done. some unfor-
tunate things are likely to happen.
This feeling upon the part OF the
loyal people of my State increases
every time another transport laden
with American soldiers sails for
France"
Attention was directed to the fact
that in spite of the suspicion of
disloyalty that has rested upon the
State, Wisconsin has sent several
thousand men to France, and in
proportion to its population has
done more war work than any 9TH
er State in the Union. Bloodgood
cited this in support of his asser-
tion that the bulk of the people are
loyal and do not wish to rest under
the sting of having entertained dis
loyal sentiments.
Internment Suggested.
Senator Thomas, of Colorado, sug-
gested that internment for the
period OF the war might be a more
effective remedy that trial by court
martial for such offenders. Blood
good replied that he did not believe
internment. even under the most
severe conditions. would be effec-
tive to stop the spread of pro-Ger-
man propaganda.
He said this propaganda had been
carried to the training camps, as a
result of which many of the soldiers
had voted for Berger. 1t has spread
to the factories engaged in war
work, too, he said, many German
agents having secured employment
in such plants by purchasing union
cards although they had little
knowledge of the trades for which
they applied. This matter has been
discussed with Samuel Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor,
he said.
