 "The Chamber of Lords firmly hopes that when peace is concluded the government will see that the rights of the emperor of Germany are safeguarded These rights are con- ceied to him by the constitution, and peace should be commensurate with the sacrifices which have been made for the political and economic inter- ests of the country"

A FINE CORN RECORD
Three Boys Raise 35S Bushels on
 Three Acres fin Independence Co.

Batesville. Jan. 19.-Probably the most remarkable and cnviable records that have been established in this or other coslntieC of the state and per- Ihaps any other state, in the way of raising corn, have been made by three Independence county boys, who are members of the Independence County Corn Club, A total of 35S bushels of corn was raised by these three Eoys on three acres. Adler Carpenter of Magnass raised 131 bushels end B pounds on one acre; Dillard Wyatt of Rosie raised 117 bushels and 23 pounds on one acre. and Earl Best of IDota raised 1OS 3-4 busels on one acre. It is rather unusual fer an acre to produce more than 100 bush els of corn.
 In 1915 Best made the state record for that year by raising 117 bushels. In 1915 Dillari Wyatt took the state record by raising 131 bushels and for the year 1917 Adler Carpenter has in all probability established a new rec ord by raising over 131 bushels on one acre.
 Independence colnty las been able to carry the state record for the past two years, with a good chance for the succeeding year. County Agent Le- Hand Bunch reports number of boys who have made a little less than 100 bushels of corn on one acre

1OO, ,0O0 MEA IN AUSTRIA
 STRIKE, DEMAND PEACE
All Factories in Vienna and Neustadt Are Shut DOwn--PeOple B:ame Germany for Trying to Force
 Nation to Continue War.

London. Jan. 20.-A general strike is on throughout Austria, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
 Paris today, which reports iJ0.000
 men quitting work in Vienna and Neustadt closing down all the wsir factories. The strikers are described as openly anti-German, and the move
 ment as both political and economic
 and especially aimed at securing peace.
 Public demonstrations it is added, have been held in many places, at which hostility was voiced toward Berlin for trying to force the Aus trains to continue the war. The latest German reports which have come through Amsterdam, to which city they were forwarded by the semi official Wolff Burtau, flatly
 assert that the military party has gained the victory in the territorial policy of Germany, and show what
 face that country proposed to put on snneXations in the East The guise in which these are presented are that the peoples of these countries already have determined their future status through existing representative bodies
 and that this determination is ire vocable.
 Whether the German newspapers
 from which ti.ese reports have been
 taken represen the general feeling or are extracts culled at the censorship
 for circulation abroad remains to be seen. The Taglische Rundschau of
 Berlin says:
 We learn that a complete agree
 ment has been reached in confer ence between the higher army com mand and the chancellor regarding the settlement of all Eastern ques- tions. These are to be regarded as united whole and therefore the Lith- uanian, Courland and Polish ques-
 tions are to be considered as all con-
 nccted with one another. This posi- tion gives united Austro-German
 front against Russia. The situation is,
 based on the present representative
 bodies in Lithuania, Courland and
 Polsnd, whose unanimous declara- tions are in our hands. These declara- tions can be expanded but not can celled. There is likewise full under
 standing that effective safeguards
 must be created in the West"
