Electri6cation of Seeds,

There appears to be much interest
in the Identification of seeds and the
application Of electricity to growing
plants. A recent account of work
along these lines tells of a new meth
cd of aiding plant growth. The seeds,
ten or twenty sacks. are placed in
tanks provided with iron electrodes at
both ends; the electrolyte is a solution
of sodium nitrate or some other
fertilizer. Particularly with cereals
wheat. barley and oats-the yields of
both grain and stray are said to be
increased. Some five hundred farm
ers have taken up the treatment OF
the seeds. which is followed by a very
careful drying in a kiln. The treat
ment is applied about a month or two
before sowing.-Scientific American.

Must Be Rejected

should be- Washington" he said,
carried out his principles in what
was known as the neutrality policy
when the great war broke out be-
tween England and France. That
policy in a word was to keep the
United States out of the affairs of
Europe and never to make any per-
manent alliances by Monroe in 1923
in the famous doctrine which bears
his name and that was that Europe
should be kept out of the western
hemisphere. But what is often over
looked is that Monroe at the same
time restated the Washington policy
that we should keep out Of Europe.
Those have become the American
policies. This country has never de-
parted from them from the days Of
Washington and Monroe to the pres
ent time. Even Mr.. Wilson recog-
nized the force OF these doctrines for
when we entered the war he made
no treaties of alliance and he always
oficially referred to the powers who
were fighting Germany as the pow
ers associated with US in the war
against Germany But when he
made his league he abandoned the
policies of Washington and Monroe
under which we have so long lived
and prospered as a nation. He
asked the Senate to go with him in
that abandonment and the Senate
refused to do so.
Honorable World Peace
Every thinking man and woman
In this country is anxious to promote
The worlds peace and it will be the
first and greatest task of Senator
Harding's administration to bring
about measures and agreements
which will really promote the peace
OF the world without endangering
the safety, independence and sover-
eighty of the United States. and
which will meet with the universal
approval Of the conscience Of the
American people. 1t Is the shallow
est Of devices to attempt to create
opposition to the Republican party
because they are opposed to this
league. this ill-omened alliance
brought back by Mr.. Wilson from
Paris.
1.-The noble idea and the heartfelt
longing to avoid war and maintain
peace are not shut up within the
limits of Mr.. Wilson's covenant for
a league of nations. They are deep
down in the hearts Of the American
people. but we are not going on a
wild expedition to secure peace by
endangering and destroying the
United States. which in itself and
in it's success as a nation contains
the best hope for the peace of the
world. Such are the feelings and
beliefs of Senator Harding He is
against the Wilson league. He is
opposed to Mr.. Cox. the slave OF the
fatal un-American Wilson covenant.
He would have the United States
lead in an international agreement
to promote peace. This is what
America wants and must have. But
the only thing before US for discus
sion in this campaign is Mr.. Wilson's
covenant of the league. which Mr..
Cox proposes to go into IL elected.
League 10 Not for Peace
In the first place it is not a
league to promote peace. 1t is an
alliance. 1t rests on force. It con-
templates armies. 1t provides for war
TO be carried on by members Of the
league who are allies. Who are to
represent the countries in the league
when they meet in the council and
assembly? pispassionate jurists
who will gather TO settle disputes
