taklngs at Hadley's Bend and Shef-
Held, Ala, the situation is grayest.
Never in history have the farmers had
10 grapple with such a situation At
harvest time, but they have braveiy
and resolutely undertaken the seem
lngly impossible, and how well thsY
have succeeded is shown by the eno:.
nous acreage Of small grains that has
been cut and shocked. The problem
for thresher hands is going to be an
Dthsr serious one.
Saving Small Grains.
The food administration has 70
ceived numerous inquiries from over
the state as to what should be dono
where farmers have sown small grain
to be "hogged down" The reply II
the food administration has been that
each case must be decided on its own
merits, where it would be an economic
waste to try to save the grain on such
fields, where the labor would be more
profitably used In other food produc-
ton activities, the farmers should DO
permitted to hog down" or otherwise
pasture these isolated areas that were
sown for the purpose of being pas
tured. But where the fields can be
cut and the grain saved it is the duty
Of the farmer to harvest them. This
need for great wheat and other small
grain yields has never been so urgent
in the history of the world as 1t is
today,

CHANCE FOR EVERY FARMER
TO TRAIN A BOY TO WORK

Extension, Knoxville, TENN
Many farmers are in position to use
boy help to advantage. Fruit farmers,
truck farmers, etc., can use them ex.
ceptionally well. The experience of
last year shows that the average farm
er's prejudice against the city boy is
not well founded. OF course, there are
boys and boys. But at least 1870 Of
the boys do good work-a part of the
other 25% were with farmers who did
not have enough patience to give them
the preliminary training.
Every farmer should this year train
at least one boy to be a farmer.

A DIVISION IN IRISH FORCES
Nationalist and Sim Feiners at the
Breaking Point-Plot Hatched
In United States.

London, May PA Dublin dis
patch to the Daily News today said
that the Irish Nationalists will re.
turn to Parliament next week.
The Times Dublin correspondent
declared that the relations between
the Sim Feiners and the National
lists are so strained almost to the
breaking point.
Washington, ID. c., May 22-Evi-
dence of plotting between German
and Irish agents in this country for
an uprising in Ireland has been un-
covered by United States government
agents and is partly responsible for
the recent arrest of Irish leaders by
the British government.
This evidence, which may be made
public soon. is understood to show
definitely that Irish leaders, mainly
Sim Fein sympathizers in the Unit,
ed States, have been in touch with
German representatives who agree to
furnish money to finance rebellion
in Ireland and possibly to send arms
and ammunition to Ireland by sub
marines or blockade runners.
There was even SOME discussion Of
the chances of sending German sol
diers to take part in warfare on Irisf
soil,

ASKS CONGRESS
FOR MORE MONEY
PRESIDENT REGARDS TAX BILL
AS A NECESSITY.
ADJOURNMENT TO Be DELAYED
Administration Program for Addition.
al Revenue Finds Small Favor
With Legislators. Navy, Too,
Wants Appropriation.

| Washington, May %. ~ President
Wilson regards tax bill necessary at
this session of congress.
II was officially learned today that
Secretary McAdoo in a conference
with President Wilson yesterday, won
the executives approval of the propos.
ed new revenue measure.
The decision of the President to sup
port McAdoo's contention of the tax
measure at this session means the OPP
ening of work on the measure by both
the house and the senate committees,
and delay in the adjournment of the
session.
Congress May Recess.
Congressional leaders believe that
Congress will probably recess from
time to time. while the committees
work, thus enabling the Senator'S and
the Representatives to get back home
for the pre-campaigning and for the
same time be on hand when the time
comes for consideration of the meas
ure.
There is distinct differences of the
opinion of President Wilson's cabinet
regarding the needs for tax bill at
this session. Postmaster Burleson has
already opposed the proposed act.
Storm of Protest Follows.
Secretary McAdoo today was work
ing on the preparation of figures to
submit them to the Congressional fl
nancial leaders.
Word today that the President
would be the breaking out of a storm
of disapproval from both sides of the
house.
Majority Leader Kitchen said that
McAdoo did not even have single
good reasons Tor a revenue bill This
season and that should one be formed
Congress would stand her grounds on
what went into it.
The Aircraft Inquiry
Washington, May %. - Senator
Thompson of Kansas announced this
afternoon that new compromise has
been practically agreed on between
the administration forces and the sup
porters of Senate air craft inquiry
Thompson hastily summoned the
committee on audit and control to rati
fly the compromise should it go
through and thus avert a sharp fight
in the Senate.
More Money for Navy
Washington, May 22.-Additional re-
quests for navy appropriations curing
the next fiscal year totalling $3O,l65,
$50 were submitted to congress by Sec
rotary Daniels this afternoon.
Daniels request included eleven mil
lion for the construction and equip,
ping of training camps and five million
five hundred and thirty-three thousand
five hundred dollars for the procuring
and the testing of shells.

HOLLAND is NOT SATISFIED
u
She Regards AS insufficient Explana-
ton of Seizure of Ships BY This
Government.

Washington, May 22.-Answering
the Americans reply to the Dutch ship
seizure Holland has informed the
State Department that she regards as
insufficient the explanation made by
this government.
The inference is left that she has
invited correspondence to clear up the
Misunderstanding between the United
States and Holland over the requisi-
tioning of the Dutch shipping.
Holland has been notified by the
United States government that its
request for three ships now in Amer
lean ports to carry the balance of the
grain promised it by President Wilson
cannot be granted, and that to pre-
vent further delay in the movement of
the grain Dutch ships should be sent
for il at once.
The fact that this step had been
taken became known today soon after
the receipt of press dispatches an
nouncing that the Netherlands govern
ment had prohibited the departure of
Dutch ships from its ports. Officials
were at loss to understand the mean
ing of Hollands action, though it was
assumed that the attitude of Germany
was responsible.
More than 100000 tons of Dutch
shipping are idle in Holland ports, &C
cording to information in the posses
sion, of the state department. 1t is
from this fleet of tied.up tonnage that
the war trade board holds the ships
necessary to transport the grain must
be taken.

MONROE COUNTY SHORT.
All Glass I Men Called, other Boards
Must Aid.

Des Moines, May 22.-The reason
Mahaska county and SO other counties
were asked for one extra man each is
because Monroe county fell short 81
men in her quota of Class ! men.
Monroe county's percentage of class
/ men was only fourteen. the lowest
in the state, and when this call came
they had only forty-four class ! men,
while they were required to furnish
ninety-eight. The difference was
made up by spreading ii over the
counties named.
