ity, and that In return for this full
guarantee there should be no act, in
dividually or collectively, that will at
this critical time hamper government
work, whether in the line Of actual
war measures In the battle zones or
simply within those divisions of COM
merce that lead up to the lines with
supplies of clothing, munitions, food,
or any other essential. We believe
that stern measures should be taken
to meet this situation. A strike to-
day Is reasonable, and the members
Of an organization are guilty Of trea-
sonable conduct and acts when they
hamper the government by quitting
work, and especially so where gov
ernment contracts are affected. Let
the striker OF to-day be handled In
the manner In which his acts justify.
When he strikes he interferes with
government work and impedes the
effectiveness of the army. Let any
man or any body Of men who may be
guilty Of such conduct suffer the full
penalty Of his or their folly. The
death penalty Is none too severe for
any man who takes a stand against
his government for his personal
GAIN
We believe this Is the correct man
ner Of solving a grave problem. And
our ideas are not the ideas Of one
opposed to labor or an enemy to la
Dor organizations. They come from
one who is and has for long years
been member of labor organiza-
ton and Is a firm believer in labor
organizations. There arc times, how
ever, when personal considerations
should be made subservient to other
considerations. and such time pre-
walls to-day. Let the penalty fall
with force, and quickly, where men
In any walk Of life refuse to work for
the good Of our common country.
The striker gives no less of "aid and
comfort to the enemy" by striking at
a time like this than does the coal
operator or the large manufacturer
who would seek to close his mine or
manufacturing plant In the face of
the governments imperative needs

Transport Rams Il Sub.

An Atlantic Port, May 31.-A Ger
man submarine lying in wait for
transports carrying American troops
was rammed and sunk by large
British transport off the Irish coast
during the second week in May, ac-
cording to authentic information
brought here to-day by an American
returning from an important mission
to England.
The ship which sank the subma-
rine is one Of the largest liners
known to American and European
travellers, and hit the U-boat full
amidship after a torepdo had been
fired and the transport was manoeu-
vering to make way for accompany
ing destroyers to drop depth charges.
1t is possible, the American said, that
the submarine might have been
forced to surface by one Of the ex-
plosions, but at any rate 1T came up
less than so yards in front Of the
liner.
In full view Of the soldiers assem-
blcd on her decks, the big steamer
rammcd he: way into the submarine
and "cut her like a piece Of cheese

The Second .Apph- \.
cation of Fertilizer.

TO cotton will pay unusually we'll
this year on account Of the high price
Of cotton. vt will pay any year If It
Is the right kind Of fertilizer and is
applied early enough, but it is just
money in your pocket this year.
This dry weather will probably last
long enough for the tap-root of cot
ton to reach the moist clay. It can
stand dry weather after that, and If
properly supplied with plant food in
the shape of the right kind Of fertili-
ger, 1t will not have a thing to do but
grow and fruit. This 1850 of ours
has the Ammonia and Phosphoric
Acid In just the right proportion to
keep the plant growing and make it
fr' 1t as it grows. The fruit Is what
you are after. The reason cotton
sheds Is because there Is not suffi-
Client plant food to support the plant
and the fruit. Along in July, Au-
gust and September, when the plant
Is fruiting, the strain on the plant is
greatest, and just when the strain is
greatest the supply Of plant food is
growing less every day. The result
Is your cotton Sheds" 1t can't do
anything else. You feed your mule
most when YOU work him hardest
don't you? If YOU don't he will
"shed," too.
