AMERICAN ACTION
COMPLAINS BECAUSE PRESIDENT
WILSON HAS TURNED DOWN
PEACE ovERTURES.
German Imperial Chancellor Declares
Submarine Policy Is Winning by
Slowly but Surely Diminishing
Allied Tonnage.

London.-Count Won Hertling, the
German imperial chancellor, in ad-
dressing the main committee of the
reichstag on September "a, declared
that the submarine warfare is slowly
but surely diminishing allied tonnage.
"Above ALL" he said, ut is restrict
Ing the transportation of reinforce
ments of men and material from the
United States"
Count Won Hertling, the German
chancellor, in addressing the reichs-
tag main committee, complained OF the
lack of attention his acquiescence in
the four points laid down by President
Wilson as peace essentials had met
from the American executive.
The chancellor asserted that on Feb
ruary % of this year he declared in. the
reichstag his agreement in principle
with the possibility of discussing
general peace on the basis Of the four
points of President Wilson's message
of February 2, but that President Will
son neither at that time nor since had
taken notice of the chancellor's dec
laration.
Count Won Hertling continued by de-
claring that he favored the formation
of a league Of nations, the promotion
Of universal, successive disarmament
in equal proportions, the establish
ment of obligatory courts or arbitra-
tion, the freedom Of the seas and the
protection Of small nations.

NON-PARTISAN'S
LETTER TO "BIG BILL"
HAYWOOD AT HIS TRIAL

ST. PAUL.-The Minnesota Pub
lie safety commission has given out
the following letter from Arthur LIE
Sueur, secretary Of the Non-partisan
league, to William D. Haywood, the
I. w. w. cheiftain, recently convicted
in Chicago of violation of the espion-
age act and sentenced to twenty
years at Fort Leavenworth.
"The Peoples College, Fort Scott,
Kan. April 5, 1917. Mr.. William
D. Haywood. 164 w. Washington
street, Chicago, ILL.,:
Fellow Worker: Have just re-
turned from Des Moines, Iowa, and
am very glad to be able to report
that all Of the cases there are dis
posed of favorably and the boys at
liberty. / think the denfense COM
mittee is satisfied with the handling
of the case. OF. course, it was not
one in which any labor principle was
involved and, therefore, the fight was
simply made to get the boys out.
my expenses for the trip were
$34.30, and If you will send me check
for that it will clean the matter up.
"How are you, coming with the
Minnesota proposition? l hope you
don't start anything until the year
has expired This damned war bust
ness is going to make it mighty hard
to do good organization work of any
kind, but l think, the fight should
be now conferred against spy bills and
CONSUMPTION.
Have you heard anything from
Pennsylvania with powers Of at
torney?
Yours for industrial freedom.
ARTHUR LIE SEUR."
This letter, written three days
after President Wilson made his his
toric speech to congress asking for a
declaration of state of war with

the dent.
After leaving the cornfields and
the immense silos we went thru the
sheep sheds. These it Is said by ex-
perts, are the most modern sheds OF
this nature in the western states
They are all equipped with electric
lights and cover territory of 5000
square feet On the center of each
shed is a railroad track with minia-
ture railway cars which are trans
ported by horses. These cars are
used to haul hay, ensilage and chop
ped feed which is blown into the
bins. Everything is kept under cover
even to the bedding that is used for
the sheep. Along either side of the
sheds are small water troughs which
convey fresh water to all the sheep.
This plant represents years of
thought and study and is a fitting
testimonial to the characteristic
spirit of this man.
Mr.. Gooding is great believer in
livestock as the ''best bet" for the
farmer of today and this is typified
by the great f1ocks Of sheep that he
owns at the present time, by the ex-
traordinary diary herd that he keeps
on his place, and by the well-groomed
horses that are seen everywhere your
eye travels.
The governors life, however, has
not always been one of prosperity,
for on the way to the magnificent
ranch that he now operates he
pointed out to the writer the place
where Mrs. Gooding and he home
steaded thru one of the coolest win
tiers that Idaho has ever known. 1889
and it was with a feeling of the deep
est reverence that he touched upon
this subject, for it was there that he
laid the foundation for the successful
career that he has since experienced.
1t was on this homestead that the
cornor stone for the metropolis of
Gooding was laid; it was here that
this man first saw the vision Of q
great and wonderful state with nat
ural resources as yet not nearly de-
veloped.
This was a fitting climax for
trip such as mine had been. 1t
demonstrated in a fitting way what
man can do if he has the energy,
nerve and belief in an undertaking.
In closing let me add just one per-
sonal viewpoint gained by the writer
from spending day with this man.
Mr.. Gooding is farmer; as such he
has gained much of the worldly
goods that he posses; there is where
his heart lays; there is where his
mind is; the farmers interests are
his interests; the conditions and pro-
blems that confront the farmers of
Idaho are his problems.
They confront him every day, year
in and year out. He has met these
problems and has overcome them
with the energy that stamps him as a
man above par. Let no one tell you
that he is not farmer; let no one
tell you that he has not the farmers
interests at heart; let no one tell you
that if elected and sent to Washing
ton he will forget the farmer. His
1000 acre ranch as viewed by the
writer will stand as an everlasting
monument to his as viewed by the
writer will stand as an everlasting
monument to his industry and ability
along the lines Of developing Idaho's
GOd-given assets-her lands.

in better shape.
The governor has had such excep-
tional success at raising corn that we
asked him how he did it, and this is
the way: First, thorly irrigate the
land before planting; then after the
corn has been planted, when it
reaches a height of four inches, use
a common spiked tooth harrow and
weeds. Then let it grow until it has
reached twenty inches in height and
then cultivate the ground very thor
oily. Do not water the corn until it
begins to show signs of the leaves
curling at the end of hot day. Then
water it thoroly and cultivate until
1t is shoulder high. Ten days after
cultivation irrigate it again and then
lay it by.
To this means the governor attri-
butes his success in raising corn, and
the writer, who has grown up very
nearly in the midst of an Iowa corn
field, can truthfully say that the corn
on the governors ranch equals any
crop ever rai3el in low under the
: st IA -orable conditions. During a
Teriod of "reminiscences the governor
told OF his early experience with corn
Lack in Michigan, and holding out
his hand showed a scar on the middle
finger which had been caused by the
iron husking peg. This scar was
made the day he established a record
in Michigan for husking 129 bushels
out OF the shock. He takes great
pride In his record, as to this day 1t
has never been eQualled. He has
found that the best time to cut corn
for silage purposes Is when it is in

SUGAR TESTED
MORAL fiber
Doubters Declared Saving Sta
piles Would Be Easy Compared
With Sacrificing Luxuries. -
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS.
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup
port Of War by Conserving for
the Benefit Of the
Allies.

When figures began to show def
initely that the people of. the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption Of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that it was COM
raratively easy to bring about conser-
wilton of staple necessities, but that 1t
would be far more difficult to accom-
plsh an actual decrease in the use of
luxuries. The doubters took sugar as
an example, and declared that it would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption Of sugar down to point
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean ton
mage will be lightened, European ma
tons will be able to 60 farther afield
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption If the
present short ratiOns in Europe are
not materially increased. If the Eu-
ropean ration is to be Alaterially in
creased over the present low amount
1t can be only through the American
peoples making it possible by con-
tinued restriction to a. greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to relax the vOlun-
tary sugar ration is in itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser-
walton allowed the Food Administra-
ton to build up reserve, and to tide
over the period Of scarcity, until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records of the Food Admins
tration show that in July, August, Sep
TENDER and October 905,OOO tons were
distributed. Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons. This
shows q definite, concrete saving OF
over 100000 tons. These figures ap-
ply to sugar consumed on the table, In
the kitchen and in the various indus
tries, and show conclusively that In
the homes and public eating places OF
America, where 20 per cent. of all our
sugar is consumed, the sugar consump-
ton has been reduced by more than
One-third.
In the four-month period begin
ming with July, this country normally
uses 100000 tons of sugar per month.
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution. In August only 22o.OOO
tons were distributed In September
the figures showed $4,000 tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons in October.
There could be he more definite
proof that the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup
port of the war.
