Hurrah for Hays.

The selection of Will H. Hays,
of Indiana, to be chairman of the
Republican National Committee,
will give a feeling Of satisfaction
and confidence throughout the
party. He is a man of real abil-
ity and great energy, with a spec
ial talent for organization. He
takes over the work in time to
help in olecting a Republican Con-
gress in 1918 and has two years
in which to prepare for the pres
idential election Of 1920 The
years of Republican rambling a.
bout seem to be drawing to a
close. If the party is not sue
cessAul in 1918 and 1920 it will
not be charged to defects in cam
paign management.

Ohio Needs Seed Corn.

Ohio Needs Seed Corn.
| Most of the corn harvested in
lOhiO in 1917 is not fit for seed,
according to the Ohio Expert
ment Station. which has been
testing nearly two thousand SAM
pies representing almost every
county in the State. Crib and
f~ld lots range in termination.
from 1 TO 40 per cent.
Corn gathered and stored und-
or artificial drying conditions he
fore the freezing weather last
december show 80 to 100 per cent
termination in these tests. Half
of the corn kept from the crop of
1916 tests this high, and three
fourtIs of such samples are above
80 per cent.
Seed corn this spring must come
from three sources: A few farm
ers stored their corn early so that
it was well dried out when cold
weather came. Some corn ma
Cured comparatively early in SOU
thera counties and can be used
in that part of the State All old
corn from 1916 should be held for |
seed and tested for termination. |
Since local seed corn is always
safest, the Experiment Station
advises farmers to buy as near
home as possible and to test each
ear before planting. The rag
doll'' test is easily made at home.
A cloth about 10 by 60 inches is
marked off in 40 squares in each
of which are placed six kernels
from an ear numbered to cores
pond with the number given the
space on the cloth.
The cloth is rolled up, soaked |
in water 3 to 10 hours and placed |
in a warm room. In about a week
the count can be made for good
ears, and all proving poor i ger
mination can be discarded. /

With one arm free British ex-
ports of cotton yarns and textiles
for last year aggregated $780,
100000, while our aggregated
$15O,OOO,OOO. That gives some
idea of what Great Britain can
accomplish when both arms are
available for industrial produc-
ticn, and England must pay her
debts with her exports. How
large a proportion of those debts
are we expected to pay by per-
hitting British ronopoly of our
market through a Democratic
tariff law?

published card to be hung in
the kitchen, known as a ration
card" which is to carry the
signed promise of the household
er to abide by the regulations
therein set forth. The card shows
the weekly allowance per per-

ration beihg voluntary. OfSome
things, fish, game, etc, it allows
"as much as necessary" of 9th
ers, cooking fats and cream,
"only as much as necessary"
and of still others, non-wheat
cereals, vegetables and cheese,
''as much as desired" Here is
a suggestion which, from the
practical point Of view, might
appeal to the food theorists cou-
trolling our ga8trOnomy; Supply
to each person, at cost, one steth
oscope, one pair of pocket scales
and ready reference table of
calories. Then after testing his
heart action he can glance at the
table to see how many caJories
are required to sustain his heart
at the normal beat for a given
period, abstract from his larder
something which will not put
him in wrong with a wheatless,
meatless. sweetless day, weigh it
carefully, and munich it slowly.
Thus will the Food Administra-
tion be apotheosized and our war
heroes will return from victory
to be laurel-croWned by an ane-
mic and pallid populace.

report that he has travelled over

Those good people who are
fond of likening President Will
son to Abraham Lincoln will con.
cede that there is one notable
diff renee between the two men
This difference is illustrated by q
story told of Lincol1 during the
Civil war. A man of unques-
toned loyalty went to the White
House to persuade Lincoln to
give MIN a pass through the fines
so that he might visit his broth
er. Mr.. Lincoln suggested that
the man see General Halleck, but
was informed that Halleck had
already refused a pass. Then
you had better see Secretary
Stanton" was suggested. Il

said the petitioner. Then | am

the members of the cabinet are
completely under the influence of

SAILS UNCHARTED CHANNEL DODCINC
 U-BOAT FLEET

An Atlantic Port. Feb. 23-How the master of an Italian passenger liner, the Dante Alighieri, lodged a fleet of submarines in the Mediterran- can by venturing a midnight passage through an uncharted channel be- tween a small island and the Spanish coast, was related by passengers of the ship on her arrival here today,
 The wisdom of the captains move was demonstrated the following morning, they said, when lifeboats were sighted carrying passengers and crews of three torpc 7oed vessels out of convoy of five which the Dante Alighieri had passed only two hours before the captain decided to risk wrecking his ship in the channel rather than take chances with tho submarines.
 The names of the three ships sunk were the Duca di Geneva, a passenger vessel, the Vile de Verdun and the Caprera, all Italian. The presence Of the submarines in their path was learned by the master of the Dante Alighieri through wireless warnings. The ifeboats were not picked up, as they were within few miles of the shore.

CARPENTERS TELL |. UNIONS SIDE OF
 WAGE DISPUTES

New York, Feb. 23-The union car penters' side of their controversy with the United States shipping board was set forth here by T. M. Guerin, mem Der of the executive committee of the carpenters union on his return here from Washington, where with PresI- dent Hutcheson of the union he took part in conferences with officials of the board.
 ''The entire difference between the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join CTS and the government officials is in an interpretation of the term 'condi- tions Of labor" said he. ''The history of the matter is that an original agree ment was made between the secretary of war and President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor Tn which the term hours, wages and conditions was specified. After this memorandum was agreed to cores pondence took a place between MT. Gompers and Attorney Whale of the shipping board in which it was agreed by MT. Gompers that the term 'condi- tlons' did not mean a strictly union shop.
 President Hutcheson, through MT. Gompers, sent a memorandum to the wage adjustment committee of the United States shipping board in which he agreed to bind our organization to abide by the decision of this commit tee on wages and hours, reserving the right if the conditions were not sat tsfactory to the men that they would have the right to take up their griev- ances with their employers with a further appeal to government off, cials. This proposition was turned down by the unanimous vote of the wage adjustment committee
 Guerin expressed confidence that a satisfactory settlement eventually would be reached.
 There are 221, ,759 skilled and un- skilled mechanics, 30,7S7 working on wooden ships, 146, ,366 working on steel ships and 44,506 at work on fabricated ships, employed in the ship yards o1 the United States according to figures made public today by Guerin and ob- tained from the shipping board
 Ninety per cent. of the carpenters working on wooden ships are mem bers of the brotherhood, 20 per cent Ton steel ships and 15 per cent. on faib- ricated ships.

NORTH CHINA IS
 FACING PLAGUE OF PNEUMONIA

Boston, Feb. 23-The pneumonia plague has broken out in Shansi pro- vince, China, and has assumed such proportions that all northern China is seriously threatened, say advices re- ceived today by the American board of commissioners for foreign missions from members of it's staff in northern China.
 This pneumonia plague is particu- larly virulent. Practically no one who becomes a victim of it's recovers. It is the same disease that ravaged Mon golia five years ago and carried off 30, ,000 or 10000 persons before it was checked.
 Tt seems to have started in Mon ing the part of Shansi province north of the great wall and now has broken through.
 '"The American boards nearest sta- ton to the infected region is Fenchow. Its medical missionary there, Dr. Per- cy T. Watson, at the head of a unit made up of Chinese assistants, left immediately on receipt of a telegram from the capital of the province, Taiyuanfu, asking for aid, with the | expectation of going north to help fight the plague in Taicho, 15 miles from one of the main passes through the great wall.
 ''Plague suits and masks were made l and directions were given for the proper disposal of bodies of the dead 1 in case need arose.
