Soon time for silo construction. 1t
would be wise for those who will
build silos this year to get at 1t as
soon as possible and not wait until
the last month and all demand silos
at once. It will be to your advantage
to have It out of the way before fall
comes There is loss every fall on
account of not having the silo built
as soon as possible. this will mean
that when your corn is ready to put up
your silo is ready for 1t.

seems quite generally accepted that
Prince Lichnowski, who was German
ambassador to Great Britain before
the war and a very good friend of Sir
Edward Grey, at that time British
foreign secretary, will probably be
Germany's first ambassador to the
United States after the conclusion Of
peace-and they will serve here to-
gether as members Of the diplomatic
corps.
Sidehars will be more welcome than
most, as NiscOUnt lshii's successor,
but even though he returns, il he
does return as an old friend. he will
find it hard to take Ishii's place So
cially, whatever he may do diplomat
ically. He was over here some years
before the war broke, as counselor,
and occasionally acted as charge, and
was very generally regretted when
he was promoted and sent to Holland
as Japan's minister there After a
couple Of years there he was recalled
TO Japan to take the office of under
secretary Of foreign affairs there
which, 1 believe, he still holds.
Then, OF course, there is the cx-
pected return Of Baron L. de Cartier
de Marchienne, as Belgium's first am
bassador, and to add interest to the
situation, his return with a bride Dip
lomatic brides of ambassado orial rank
are few and far between. The last one
was Nine. Da Cana, when she came
and saw and conquered Washington

dor-as, indeed, she is apparently
likely to do again. For il is very
generally reported that DR.. Da Cana,
who has been in France watching the
peace conference for Brazil, is quite
likely to return to his embassy here.
He was called away last fall to be
prime minister Of the newly elected
Brazilian President; but his place has
not been filled-and his chief dying
before he had been inaugurated, has
been replaced by that DR.. Pesoa, who [
was here with his wife and daughter
and a considerable suite only a month .
or so ago. So DR.. Da Cana never
took up the prime minister's post at
home.
Almost Immediately he was sent
abroad to watch the peace conference.
And Nine. Da Cana, who had intend
ed joining her husband early in the
spring did not leave America at all
until late in June when she went TO
Brazil TO join him on his return to
his own country.

Nine. Da Cana Is
Popular Hostess.

Nine. Da Cana was one OF the
most popular OF diplomatic hOstesses
while she was here. and would, OF
course, be welcomed back with open
arms by q large circle in both OF

husband should be returned here. As
he has been carried on the diplomatic

White House Life
Is Dull At Present.

There isn't for the moment any
particularly thrilling news of the
home crowd. Life at the White House
seems rather drab and monotouous-
the President wrestling with Con-
gress. Mrs. Wilson interested in
whether or not they are really. going
to make that Western trip. The par
ty for the boys" on the White House
lawn Friday must have been also as
thrilling TO the First Lady as it was
TO her guests. Outside of that. Tues
day was the Wilson's big day-when
the President received the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate
in the morning. and had his weekly
theater party at Keith's in the even
ing, with an hour or SO Of golf wedg-
ed in between.
The President. after exposing him
self to the Senatorial machine guns,
firing several thousand questions a
minute, for several hours. suggested
that they adjourn to the dining room
and have luncheon and without OBJ
lection it was so ordered I believe
it was actually the first stag party
ever staged in the White House din
ing room under the present Mrs. Will
sons management. There have been
alleged stag parties before. but Mrs.
Wilson has always presided at them,
usually with some one other woman
TO keep her in countenance. But as
this party was to discuss the treaty
and league along with the food, il
seemed no place for her, so she con-
soled herself by inviting a couple of
the Administration summer widowers
the Presidents Secretary, Joseph
Tumulty, and the director of the mint,
Raymond Baber-to have lunch with
her in the private dining room, while
the President and his guests were
served in the state dining room.
Probably the President needed rec
reation after his long tussle with
that little group Of wilifuI men.
which the round of the golf course,
and the evening at the theater pro-
vided. The President goes to the
theater p-ofessedly in the tired bust

and distracted from serious
thought. and presumably he is ad-
dicted to family parties for the same
