DOMINICA SENDS |
ENVOY TO PARIS
West Indian Republics to
Support Monroe Doctrine
AT Parleys.

DIR. Luis Galvan. minister Of the
Dominican republic to the United
States. will sail today for Paris as
the delegate Of his country to the
Peace Conference.
1t is understood DR.. Galvan is going
to Paris at the direct suggestion Of
President Wilson.
The Dominican republic did not
make a formal declaration of war
but was considered at war with Ger
many upon the declaration of the
United States on account of temper
ary American protectorate over the
republic.
Hayti. twin West Indian republic.
and also under partial American SUI
pervision as a result of its unsettled
political conditions, already has its
delegate at the conference. Hayti
broke relations with Germany June 16,
1917. and declared war July IL, 1918
The interesting diplomatic feature
of the participation Of the republics
in the Peace Conference deliberations
Is that both countries are now enjoy
ing the protection afforded by the
Monroe Doctrine, and will be given
the opportunity Of passing upon this
policy when the time
comes for the ratification of the
league Of nations constitution.

FARMERS DODGE
HIGH TOOL COST
Expected to Reap Bumper
Crop with 1916
Implements.

Chicago. April 17.-Amerfca's rec
ord wheat crop will be harvested
with the implements of 1915.
This was the finding today in a
canvass of implement manufactur-
ers who forecast. for 1913, their
dullest season in years,
Manufacturers declared the farm
er is not buying implements this
year nor has he added to his stock
during the last two years. Two
reasons were given-the high prices
of implements and binders and q
new liking for luxury by the wheat
grower who has made money.
Makers today warned against the
belief that a drop in i'm
plement prices may be expected.
George A. Ranney. president of the
National Implement and Vehicle As
sociation. said high prices were due to
war time costs of materials and labor.
No reduction in labor costs can be
expected until the cost of living is
reduced. he said.
Until these high cost materials
are disposed of, any recession in i'm
plement prices would mean direct and
heavy loss to the manufacturer. II
the recession were large. It would
mean financial disaster for many"
said Ranney.

Bitter Criticism Of Lord

Future Opposition.

Premier Lloyd Georges attack on
Lord Northcliffe in the house of COM
mons means that the two strongest
men in Great Britain. after having
helped win the war together, have
changed sides on the policy OF post

The fight between them Is due pri-
marily to Northclifre's belief that
Lloyd George Is clinging to the Tory
reactionaries for support in Pariia-
ment and is not working for the in
terest OF the laboring classes.
Before the war Lord Northcliffe was

Lloyd George has shown no In

The difference OF viewpoint be-
tween them on the kind of minis
ters necessary to carry out recon-
struction reforms has led to an
estrangement which now includes
numerous other differences as well.
The probable downfall of the

DEARFOLKS:

THIS is the week of al
i weeks in the year when
all of US pull ourselves
together and try to qualify un-
der the banner PURITY"
The occasion calls for serious
housht as regards our conduct
N both our business and prii-
Eate affairs.
| think we all realize now that
Business is not exempt from the
Moral Code.
It has to carry the banner of
PURITY if it is to get any
where In public esteem. ] wish
to call your attention to the
fact that this word PURITY"
consists of SIX letters and fits
IN with the Cycle of Six which
plays so big a part in the Wilson &
Co. business.
But ! want to tell you also that
while all of the other things that
enter into the Cycle of Six are i'm
portant. not one of them has the
place In the Real Heart of the VII
son & Co. organization that the
word PURITY" has.
The officials and the 5000 work
ers are all impressed with the i'm
portance of PURITY" in food pro-
duction.
Producing PURE FOODS is the
business of Wilson & Co.. and Off
cials and workers realize that there
is no closer relationship in all the
world between any form of business
and the people than that of dispens-
ing PURE FOOD.
The Wilson & Co. organization has
fitted itself to produce PURE
FOODS by establishing within itself
those relations between officials and
workers that are necessary to bring
about absolute confidence in one
another and to work on the big
principle of giving one another as
we'll as the public a SQUARE
DEAL, which to my notion, is one
of the highest forms of "PUR-
ITY."
Docs not this spirit influence their
thoughts and actions, and docs it
not make them put Honor in their
work?
PURITY" in foods is essential
Just as PURITY" in all else that
makes life useful, helpful, clean
and unselfish is necessary.
Shall we unite during this week
our PURE FOOD THOUGHTS
with our other thoughts, culminat-
ing Sunday morning. next with a
fine breakfast of ham and eggs or
bacon and eggs?
1t is one of the traditions of
Easter Sunday-as old as the hills
that. we shall observe the day,
SO far as our physical needs are
concerned, by stuffing ourselves
with eggs anyway-but starting
the day always with a slice of fine
ham or slivers of bacon.
Don't you remember as boys and
girls, back on the farm, how you
hunted hens nests long before
Easter and gathered great num-
bcrs of eggs for that day?
Most of you are so situated now
that you can't gather eggs as in
the old days.
YOU HAVE TO BUY THEM.
Wouldn't you like to be SURE that
you could buy as good eggs as you
used to find in the hens nest?
Let me tell you that you can buy
such eggs. Go to your dealer this
week and ask for CLEARBROOK
EGGS, sold by Wilson G. Co. under
the slogan THE WILSON LABEL
PROTECTS YOUR TABLE"

This Will Be Locust" Year.

This will be locust" year for
a large part Of the country. The
Department of Agriculture says
that an unusually heavy brood
of the "seventeen-year locust"
(Cicada Septendeclm), may be
looked for. This is one of the
most interesting of ali insects,
On account of its long period Of
development, seventeen years, or
thirteen years-for it has life
cycles Of both these lengths.
The old notion that the insect
can do harm to people is ut
terly groundleSs, and the damage
1t does to trees is usually exag-
gerated i'll the popular mind.
Sometimes newly set fruit trees
are killed by it, but ordinarily
tile damage is confined to the
killing of the small twigs in
which the insect lays its eggs.
1t does not sting the twigs,
but chisels out grooves in which
the eggs are deposited. Hand
gathering of the insects morning
and evening on small trees and
tile use of a ? per cent earbolic
acid spray will protect shrubs
likely to be injured. Fruit trees
should not be pruned this spring
