PROBABLE SHORTAGE
OF SEED POTATOES

Due to the scarcity of seed potatoes
the Department of Botany at the Ohio
Experiment Station is urging farmers
to give particular attention to the
storing of seed tubers this season.
This is necessary, they state, because
of the loss occasioned by rotting in
the bin, to keep up quality and to
prevent loss Of vitality from sprout-
ing.
The dry rot, late blight and black
leg live through the winter as dis
eases in seed potatoes which are
stored in unfavorable conditions. Ex-
cessive moisture causes the late
blight fungus to bring about rot in
seed potatoes.
It has been shown that potatoes
stored in dry, well ventilated cellars
with an earthen floor are best for
seed. If it is necessary to store po-
tatoes in pits, the long. narrow tyne
is more desirable than the round pit,
because the temperature is kent more
nearly uniform in the long pit. The
pits must have good drainage and
sufficient cover to prevent severe
freezing.

STATE INCOME TAX BILL
LOSES in HOUSE

:, The new auto tax bill, which passed
the house of representatives last
week, was to be taken before the
senate early this week, where it was
expected a favorable vote would be
given. The bill will then become a
law following the governors sigma
ture.
As it passed the house the motor
vehicle tax bill makes the secretary
of state the chief administration
officer instead of county auditors.
Schedules in the bill are So, $40, and
$12 based upon horse power of the
machine, while an additional tax on
trucks of 20 cents per 100 pounds of
weight of truck and carrying ca
pacity. County commissioners and
municipalities will get so per cent Of
the incomes from the law for use in
maintenance of streets and roads, the
state receiving the other so per cent
for use exclusively in road mainte-
nance.

No waste of voters time.
Full woman vote, untrammeled; no
jostling at polls or button-holing on
streets.
Women who hope to vote should
study new methods and aid in secur-
ing forsour mothers and sisters treat
ment in accordance with chivalric
promises made when posing in polite
society. Crooked politicians don't
want you in politics; they are afraid
of you. Whether you will prove more
honest than the men or not, time only
can tell. But it is certain the crooks
don't want you in so it is up to you
to crowd in. And the one way in
which you can hope to induce women
in general to vote, and vote as soon as
the franchise is given them, is to Sc
cure the institution of a voting by
mail system.

ASK FARMERS TO ORDER
SPRING FERTILIZERS

Farmers the being urged by the
Ohio Experiment Station to order
their spring fertilizers at once as
there may be a considerable shortage
due to labor strikes and railroad con-
ditions.
Practically all the phosphates used
by Ohio farmers come through Balti-
more and Nashville, the phosphate
rock being mined in South Carolina,
Florida and Tennessee. The long
shipping distance makes it necessary
to get orders in early, particularly
when the demand is strong.
Experiment Station officials point
out that it is economical for farmers
to keep on hand large supply of
acid phosphate. as this fertilizer may
be used with considerable profit on
corn, potatoes and oats; in orchards
and gardens; on lawns, and for top
dressing wheat and pastures.

FEAR ENEMY POISON PLOT
War Scare in Public School at
Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay, L. 1.-The discovery
that they were 'made in Germany"
caused B. E. Whitaker, principal of
the public school, to order pupils to
throw away booklets which had been
given to them by stranger. Samples
are TO be analysed, as it is believed
the booklets may secrete germs of dis
ease. =.
Several days ago a stranger came
here and gave the booklets to many
school boys and girls. He said the
booklets had pictures Of prominent
men which would appear by rubbing
the scraplngs of a pencil on page
with the finger.
Mr.. Whitaker got one of them, and
discovered on the last page the words,
MADE In Germany" He collected as
many of the books as he could and In
structed pupils to throw the others
away.
81 have sent these books to New
York for analysis" said Mr.. Whitaker.
THE children to get the pictures of
President Wilson and Mr.. Roosevelt
had to rub their fingers over the page
of the book. Naturally, the children
afterwards put their fingers In their
mouths, and as there is much illness
among pupils here ! decided to send
the booklets for examination"

YANK IS ''HIGH-BROW"
Censor Says Letters Home Show
Intelligence of Soldier.
Mlsslves TO Mothers Make Light of
Wounds, and Say They're All
Going to Berlin.

Paris.-"To get a good idea Of the
high intelligence of the average Amer
lean soldier, one should have a Job Of
censoring letters" said an American
officer, who had just been released
from a front hospital where both pri-
Yates and officers were cared for.
while recovering from my wound"
he continued, 81 used to pass away
the time acting as temporary censor
for the wounded, and also for part of
the hospital personnel.
"And the letters that those chaps
wrote were wonderful Especially the
letters to their mothers. They were
diplomatic, that's all. Most of the
letters the wounded wrote would
start off with some commonplace
comment on the weather or the
war and then the writer would cas-
ually mention that he had been
wounded But the next sentence In
variably would be something like this:
Don't worry a bit mother, about
me. I'm getting along fine; it's only
a slight wound and I'm getting fat on
hospital food. Everyone treats me
great, the nurses and the doctors are
fine, and I'll be out In jlffy.'
Another thing that struck me
about those letters was that almost
all Of them were correct grammati-
cally. Several times the writer's would
speak Of books they were reading. I'll
confess I have never read such deep
matters as they were taking up.
"And patriotism had its part in every
letter always a line about the war end
ing with the Americans on top. They
were all going to Berlin, and going
as conquerors, too-those chaps"

One Of the assets the sailors and
soldiers have gotten out Of the war is
their insurance, Approximately 1900,
600 Of them are insured for a grand
total Of S37 600 600 The privilege
of continuing this government insurance
is a valuable right given in part com
pensation for their sacrifice and service
and the individual who has it would be
foolish indeed to throw il away unless
compelled to by extreme circumstances.

One Of the strange things is that
our national government, which con
ducts the largest business in the world,
maintains a general policy Of not rec
oguizing paid advertisements as le-
gitimate and fundamental necessity for
the promotion of business. but has
struggled in every possible was TO get
through the back door Of free publicity.
There is hardly an obscure country
weekly but has freely given space
amounting to hundreds of dollars in
promoning war activities the past year
or so. II would seem that the govern
ment comes near the limit of riding a
free horse to death, when through its
postmaster it asks the newspapers as a
patriotic duty to advertise the auction
sale of surplus horses and mules at
Camp Grant. There is not farmer in
the country that would think OF asking
his local paper for free publicity Of an
auction sale Edgerton Reporter
