CATTAILS HAVE FOOD VALUE
investigation Has Shown Them to Con-
tain Satisfactory Amount OF
Needed Protein.

Flour from the cattails Of the
swamps has been found by the plant
chemical laboratory at Washington to
contain about the same amount of pro-
TEN as rice and corn f1ours, with some
what less fat than wheat flour, and it
was regarded as a promising substi-
tute with wheat flour to the extent of
10 to 20 per cent. In the investigation,
Of which he has given an account in
the Scientific Monthly, Prof. P. w.
Claassen tried the -four in several
ways, both as part substitute with
starch substitute for buildings. Bis
cults containing so and even 100 per
cent of this flour proved to be palat-
able, not very different from those of
wheat -four alone, while the buildings
had an agreeable flavor and were sat
isfactory. The flour material is OBJ
tanned from the large underground
rootstalks or rhizemes, of which it
forms a starch core three-eighths to
one-half inch in diameter. The dried
rhizomes from an acre of cattails were
shown to equal 1922 pounds and the
core substance, passed through a
meat grinder and sifted, yielded fine
-four at the rate of $500 pounds per
acre. Many thousand acres of cattail
marshes are included in the 139, 1855
square miles of swamp land of the
United States.

AnnaIlinn Accident Record.

ApprOXimately 126,UOO persons were
killed in accidents during the 10
months of Americas participation in
the war with Germany, and more than
100000 men, women and children
were so seriously injured that they
lost more than four weeks of time or
were permanently MANNED, according
to c. w. Price, general manager Of
the National Safety council.
The casualties from accidents each
year are twice as great as were the
casualties among American soldiers,
sailors and marines during the war.

"Carpet- BaQuer,"

1t is said that the term "carpet-bag-

venturers in America. 1t was designed
to describe a needy political adventur-
er who wanders over the country pam
dering to the prejudices Of the igno-
rant in order to try to get into office.
He was so called because he was re-
garded as having only enough property
to fill a carpet bag.

A ROUND BALE FOR HAY

One of the most recent types of hay
presses makes cylindrical bale,
bound with binding twine and having
an air space running lengthwise
through it's center. This press was
designed so that hay baled from the
windrow would cure out after it was
baled, the hole in the center being in
tended to allow air to circulate
through the bale and prevent heating.
This bale is not as easily torn apart
as the continuously pressed bale, it
being necessary to chop or split it
lengthwise with an ak or other edged
implement. When round bales are fed
in open hunks or on the ground in the
feed lot, they are not opened; the
animal pulls out the hay a mouthful
at time. It is claimed that this way
of feeding the hay prevents waste.

COOPERATION

''The average agricultural business
requires more capital than the or
binary man can swing, so farmers
must get together. I do not mean to
have them sacrifice individuality and
initiative but simply to avoid undue
competition and needless duplication
of expense. A $4,000 bull will pay
for itself in one crop of calves, yet
unless the farmers can buy him to-
gether, they will probably have to do
without him." This was the statement

state, these investigators found, by
underselling their food products. The
packers have begun to unload their
stocks held i'm Cleveland, shipping it
all over the country.
In st. Louis 1865, 800 eggs held
in storage were seized by federal
authorities. A raid in Detroit un-
covered 7,4O4,O0 eggs and 100000
pounds of butter which had been held
since April l.. Chicago dealers who
were making $4.18 on every hundred
weight of sugar, a profit of nearly SO
per cent, were arrested. There are
similar cases in nearly every large
city in the country. These products
are bought at the lowest market
price, the farmers are given as little
as possible, an artificial shortage is
created, and the goods are unloaded
when the market reaches it's peak, at
prices that are far above the legiti-
mate price.
Well might the chaplain of the

Henry N. Couden, in offering the
opening prayer in the house on Au-
gust pray:
"Good Lord, deliver us, we beseech
thee, from the unwarranted conditions
: in which we as a people find ourselves.
We have just passed through the
greatest war of all history, and won
victory for democracy, liberty and
freedom from autocracy and oppres-

Opinion Divided.
On this question there also is a d.
vision of opinion, Democratic leaders
holding that such a resolution would
have to be approved by the president
to become effective and Republicans
holding that presidential approval
would not be necessary.
Decision of the Senate last night
to lay aside the treaty came after two
attempts to ratify it with the foreign
relations committees reservations at
tached and one attempt to adopt it
without reservations Of any sort all
had failed.
The first vote on the treaty with
reservations attached showed 80 for
and So against.
The second, which came several
hours later, showed al for and 81
against.
The vote on straight ratification re-

lican, of Pennsylvania, a former
secretary of state, who holds that by
the language of the treaty full COM
mercial and diplomatic intercourse
can be resumed with Germany by all
of her late enemies as soon as the
process verbale is exchanged.
Various other senators have taken
similar view, and Senator Fall, Re
publican, New Mexico, has declared
repeatedly in the Senate that the
United States already is trading with
Germany in the full sense Of the term
and that American consular agents
could be installed without overstep-
ping international law.
Regarding Trading.
There seems little prospect, how
ever, that the State Department will
accept such a construction and Off
Gals there say American trade will
have to accommodate itself to the
facilities Of the Spanish agents in
Germany until a state of peace has
been defined directly between that
country and the United States.
As a matter of fact, the lack of
American consular representation is
declared by the administration off
Gals to be the greatest present handi-
cap to resumption Of trade. With the
president authorization Of blanket
licenses under the trading with the
enemy act last July, commercial in
tercourse with Germany practically
was freed from legal restrictions,
and it continues in that situation.
There are some prohibited articles,
such as drugs, chemicals and dye
stuffs, but the bars are down to most
Of the ordinary articles of commerce.
The Senate's failure to act left on
the hands of the administration a
big collection of knotty problems,
chief among which is the question of
property rights in the German ships
and other property Of enemy aliens
seized by the government in this coun-
try. The state department experts
say there is no legal sanction for re-
tention of this property unless the
treaty, which contains a provision
legalizing it, is ratified

Vital Steps Affected.
Although not changing technically
the existing status of relations be-
tween the United States and Ger
many, the Senate's failure to ratify
the peace treaty at its special ses-
sion is expected by administration
officials and diplomats To have an
indirect result of some Importance
on the steps now being taken to re-
store the world to a peace basis.
One of the first consequences, &C
cording to the view taken here, is
likely to be the fastening of the aego-
tiation in Paris, including promulga-
tion of the order which will restore
full commercial and diplomatic re-
lations between Germany and the
powers which have ratified the treaty.
