On November 28 the kaiser called at
my Office for what proved to be his

been granted and that I could leave
on the 80th, and I accordingly told the
kaiser that It was my intention to leave

that nothing I could do could mend the

to protect the fruit growers IN that
district. The greatest difficulty TO
be met in raising citrus fruit IN
southern Italy is the root rot,
which affects the plants and kills
many OF them. I'm cases where more
than fifty per cent of the crop IS
thus destroyed the grower is not
compelled to pay in full either the
tax or the surtaX on the trees thus
killed, norris he taxed for ten years
after they are planted Tor those
trees he plants to replace those
killed by root rot.
The trade in this fruit in Italy is
tremendous and most OF the lemons
are made into citrate cf lime
or shipped in the form OF cooked
lemon juices. In addition t0 .his,
large quantities OF lemons are
shipped all over the world. The
magnitude of the trade is illustrated
By the fact that from Ca,ania, in
less than nine mo- tbs, 20l,452 boxes
of lemons were shipped to the Unit
cd states alone il l9l7.
I'M order to facilitate the produc-
ton of citrate of lime and cooked
lemon juice in Sicily and Calabria
during the war, and until three
months after the conclusion OF peace
the minister OF industry, commerce
and labor has given authority for
the opening of closed factories
where the citrate is made, fixing the
quantity to be produced and estab-
fishing, in agreement with the min
istry OF the treasury, the price the
factories must pay the lemon grow
ers for the fruit per thousand.
Regulations are also issued to con-
troll the production and commerce
of oil of lemon and provide that
the citrus fruit chamber shall es-
tablish the price of citrate OF lime
by a resolution which must be ap-
proved by them.

The Daily German Lie

frequently as possible, and their
home folks encouraged to write TO
them. The military authorities rec
ognizc that the soldiers mail is the
best OF all agents for sustaining his
morale, The entire mail service Tor
the army in France is now in charge
of the army and it has been organ
lied with every possible facility TO
ensure the soldiers receiving his
letters as regularly as he receives his
food.
The most popular German lie OF
the season is the story that army
doctors and Red Cross nurses have
been shot at sunrise for injecting
disease germs into soldiers. Every
army camp in the United States has
been named as the scene of the ira
gcdy. No incident OF the Sort has
occurred at any camp or hospital
either here or abroad. "The reports
are r; ridiculous" say sthc War De
paremtn, "and without the slightest
foundation in fact. There have
been no medical officers, nurses, or
anyone else executed at any camp
in the United States or abroad for
any such cause
The purpose OF these stories is
evident. They are designed to de
press civilian morale by worrying
the relatives and friends OF the men
in the service and to weaken the
faith Of the American people i'll the
efficiency OF their War Depart
ment.
\ similar story alleges that influ-
enza has been spread by means Of
germs in aspirin tablets. That story
is equally ridiculous and untrue.
Germans would not live in such a
medium even if the Germans wished
them to.

When the editors OF two nation.
get acquainted new era OF neigh
borlineSs daWns.
Great Britain and the United
States are. BY common origin, COM
mon ideals. and common interests
comrade-nations. They, perhaps to
greater degree than any other pair
OF nations. speak and think and uu-
derstand a common language OF
agreement as TO political. social
and economic matters.
Yet, in spite OF the family ties
binding the two peoples, there has
not been, up TO recent times, that
full cordial, and deep-rootcd friend
illness between John Bull and Broth
er Jonathan which should prevail in
an amicable partnership. This has
not been due to ancient quarrels SO
much as to the fact that Germanism
has always aimed to keep the en-
bers of old animosites alive.
Now, happily, the men OF the
British press and those OF the
American press are exchanging Wis
its and coming to know each other
in that new revealment OF hearts
and purposes which the great war
has brought about. Representative
American editors, visiting the old
racial homestead, have been enter
rained by their confreres over there
as kinsmen and friends.

tional ideals ior which millions OF

CARTER RIGHT" ON ALL
WAR MEASURES.

Congressman Charles d. Carter
has supported every war measure
proposed by President Wilson, from
the tabling of the vicious McLemorc
resolution, down to the six and one
half billion dollar war revenue bill,
which has just become law. There
fore. vote cast for him means un-
qualified approval OF the presidents
conduct OF the war.
President Wilson in his recent let
ter truthfully says that whether in
tended or not, any votes cast against
members like Carter, who have con
sistently supported his war pro
gram, viii be considered by both
enemy and ally as evidence of dis
satisfaction with the war and to just
that extent discourage our allies and
offer aid and encouragement to our
enemies.
Let every man give his patriotic
approval OF the war by casting his
ballot for {. d. Carter, present con-
gresham, from this district. who
has been tried by the acid test OF
the record and found one hundred
per cent loyal.
Carter has supported vigorously
everyone of President Wilson's $ war
measures. The president says a vote
for Carter is unquaifien approval
OF his conduct OF the war and that
vote against Carter will he con
,idered as dissatisfaction with the
war. Don't forget to mark YOUR

Weather and Crop
Conditions in Oklahoma
For Week Ending Oct. 2

1t was another cool week, the tenn
Perature averaging 1 degrees to o
degrees below normal. Near freeing
temperatures occurred throughout
the State on the mornings of the
18th and IS. but the weather was
cloudy or rainy, with moderate to
strong winds, and no material frost
damage resulted There was a
marked deficiency in sunshine. Pre-
cipitation was heavy to excessive
over practically the whole State and
there is now abundant soil moisture
every where. The sowing of wheat
was interrupted by too wet soil.
There is still much wheat to be sown
and the prospective total acreage
is much the largest in the history
OF the State. An excellent stand of
wheat is reported practically every
where and the condition is fine,
except where ravaged by grasshop-
pers in the northwestern counties
and the damage by these insects has
ceased in most localities. Some ear
ly sown wheat fields are being pas
tured. 1t was TOO cool and wet for
the late top cotton crop. In some
localities the plants put on very
little top crop, while in Others they
have fruited very heavily. The cool
weather for the past few weeks has
resulted in slow growth and most
of the bolls are too far from ma
turity to be opened BY frost. Two
to four weeks are needed to mature
the late top crop and should frost
hold off that long. there will be
great deal more cotton produced in |
Oklahoma than scemer possible six
weeks ago. Much of these crops
have not, however, yet reached ma
turity, Late gardens and truck crops
are good prospects, Pastures have
improved steadily during the past
month and are now better than us
ual for this season Of the year.
The weekly weather and crop bull
letin for Oklahoma will be discor-
tinued for the 1918 season with this
issue.

late. So may none of us shame
Thee or one another in the great
