THE SINKING OF THE TuscANrA

- $500 $1,000 -
Ever since the United States entere,
the war, which act was accompanied by
the necessity OF sending troops across tn,
q 5000 miles of traekless eXpanse lying be
tween the American continent and Eu
) rope, there has been an eyer.present feai
that we Should not be as fortunate as the
Canadians have been in transporting sol
diers to the battle front. This fear, OF
apprehension rather, has not been con.
fined TO the relatives of the men who
have been and are being transported
across the Atlantic but it has extended
to the whole American people, whose
hearts beat for the men who are going
to fight the battles against the human
wolf that is stalking abroad in Europe.
They knew that danger in the gulse of
the submarine lurked beneath the swash
ing waves, and they have eagerly wei
coined the news of the safe arrival Of
transport after transport with its pree-
ious burden of American soldiers,
Now, however, there comes break in
the safe and successful conduct OF Amer
leans through the traps set for the ships.
A great vessel, the Tuscania, has fallen
a victim to the explosion of a torpedo.
Very many American lives have been
snuffed out in one of the great catas
trophies of the war. The United States
shudders at the shock as if it were itself
hit by some terrible and unseen force.
Immediately the unpIaced sympathy of
the whole American people goes out to
the relatives and friends of the men who
have gone to their death. The horror of
the occurrence sears deeply into the
hearts of everyone. The grim vissge of
war looms before us in all its ugliness. |
The bitter venom which actuates the en-
Yet, much as the American people are
shocked by the sinking of the Tuscania,
much as they regret the loss of these
brave men, much as they sympathize
with the relatives and friends of the de-
parted, they nevertheless are only more
firmly imbued with the conviction that
the war must be prosecuted even more
that there must be no turn
ing back until the reigning monstrosity,
which foisted the war upon the world, is
subdued. chained and shackled for all
time. They viii demand that thorough
of the incidents leading up
to the torpedoing of the Tuscania be
made, TO see whether repetitions of the
event may be avoided; and if they find
that some things were left undone which
should have been done to safeguard the
lives of the American boys they will

Congressman Miller. who is Just back
from the European war front, asserts
that three times as many submarines
were sunk by the allies during the past
10 months as were destroyed during the
previous two and one-half years. That
is tantamount to saying that the United
States is responsible for the vastly in
creased destruction because the United
States entered the war 10 months ago.
Even allowing for slight exaggeration,
the results have demonstrated that the

When Nermonters read early in 1915
about European peoples going on the
bread card ration, etc, they little real
lied that their own country would come
to such state; but the restriction will
not do the United States of America any
harm even though the deprivation may
seem at first to be very drastic. The
cutting down of our groaning table will
cause us to have a new conception of the
desirability of thrift. 1t will tend to put
a check on the fast living that has char
aeterized American habits for some gen.
erations.

| that on account of the closing of many
distilleries in accordance with the presi-
dents proclamation under the food con
troll act there will be no market for soft

the growers. These statements have re-

son of there being an unusually large
percentage of soft corn this year. due to
early frosts and unseasonably cold. wet
weather in many portions of the corn
belt during September and October.
May Be Sold on Grade, or Dried.
Soft corn can be fed on the farm or
it may be shipped to a market. When
soft corn is shipped to a terminal mar
ket. it may be sold to grain dealer
on grade, or if the shipper prefers he
may in many of the markets have it
dried for his own account and sell it
in the dried condition.
In many of the terminal markets soft
corn can be sold direct to the concerns
which operate the grain driers. This
method of selling soft corn is in common
use. The cost of drying is usually from
three-fourths to 2is cents per bushel
depending largely on the capacity OF the
plant. The loss in weight due TO shrink

On Saturday morning at
about 10 o'clock an aeroplane
from the aviation camp at Lo-
noke, boosting the 4th Liberty
Loan, will alight at Hope, Civ
ing those who have not had an
opportunity to see one of these
monsters of the air an oppor-
tunity to do so. A squad of
five planes will alight at Hope
at a laterdate.
Mr.. |. l.. Pilkinton of the
Washington Hardware & Fur
niture Co, Local chairman of
the Liberty Loan advertising
committee, has asked Chair
man Tolbert Field to have the
aeroplane fly over Washington
Saturday, manuvering over the
town and then flying back to
Hope, but Mr.. Field could not
give him a definite answer at
the time. He said he would do
his best to arrange this, how
ever, and if it could not be ar
ranged at this time it would
be on the occasion of the bird
mems next visit to Hope. 1t
would not be practical to try
to attempt to alight here, how
ever, unless a suitable landing
place.
