privilege by every patriot to uphold

kind of self-Sacrifice and nobility IF

when they die for us on the battle
fields of Europe
Secretary AcAdOo has issued no
stronger call upon the American people
to support the Liberty Loan. The
third loan will soon he open. Behind
every American soldier in France. back
of every American sailor on the seas,
there should be worker and a bond
buyer at home. There is the braver
part, but we who remain at home can
be no less useful if we exhibit that
self-Sacritice that they demonstrate in
risking their lives.
If the American people possess and
put into effective force the same faith
in Americanism that the Germans show
for their kultur, the struggle between
German kultur and American civiliZa-
ton will he short one and America 5

Seed Corn Prices.

The attention of the Department of
Agriculture has been called to occa-
sional high prices that have been
charged for seed corn in certain locali-
ties. The department recognizes that
the seed-corn shortage would have an
adverse effect upon the production of
corn in 1913. and that the price Of seed
corn has an important hearing on the
maintenance Of acreage. Emphasis has
been placed on the conservation Of an
ample supply of seed regardless of ex-
pellse and effort to obtain it. 1t is not
the intention Of the department to in
dicate as unreasonable. prices that are
necessary to provide fair return for
all efforts that have been made to con-
serve seed. A fair price should he de-
termined by the actual service per-
formed in obtaining and conserving
such seed.
Certain sections Of the country. par
ticularly east and south Of the main
corn belt, We're more favored than the
others by the fall conditions Of 1917.
The territory including Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Northern Missouri. Northern
Kansas. and all the states north Of
these suffered most severely. Other sec
tionS Of the country apparently can
provide for their own requirements
without great difficulty. and therefore
relatively lower prices in those Sec
tiOns should prevail.
The Food Administration has an
nOunced its intention to take such ac-
ton as may be necessary to prevent
speculation or protiteering on the part
Of seedsmen. UIon receipt of specific
information Of extortionate prices
being charged for seeds. such cases
will be Investigated and recommends
tions made for such action as the the
conditions require.

One Of the uses Of the proceeds Of the
Liberty Loan that will appeal strongly
to the great mass of American people
is the care and attention given to the
moral welfare and protection of the

of our allies the moral welfare of the
soldier was and is matter largely
ignored. In the German armies pro-

Morse Interests Buy
Site for Ship Plant

Norwegian shipping interests in the
United States have acquired tract of
land in New Jersey for one of the
largest shipyards in the world, to con-
struct vessels for Norway. First de-
tails of the vast project were made
public yesterday by christopher Han
nevig, head of Hannevig & Co., of Nor
way, one Of the greatest individual
ship owners in the world.
Mr. Hanhevig. who is returning to
Norway to look after his interests
there, said the plan had been consum-
mated after series of conferences
with large shipping interests here. The
vessels built at the New Jersey yards,
he said, would be owned in Norway,
but he expected they would be an i'm
portant factor in solving the Allied
food problem, as the boats would be
put into the transatlantic passenger
and cargo trade.

The campaign to stack up quarters
to help the soldiers is being given con-
siderable impetus, according to the

quarters in 81 Chambers Street, by
hundreds of pedlers in the lower East

convincing the pediers that the gov

thrift drive.
Yesterday his efforts began to bear
fruit in the sale of about $4,000 worth
Of thrift stamps. Every cart in Or
chard Street, between Delaney and
