INVENTED BY GERMAN

Special Correspondence of the Inter-
national News Service and the
London Daily Express.
engineer named Nader has invented
new type of boat which, he de-
clares will revolutionize naval war
fare. He asserts that the Power
con trolling this craft need fear no
other navy, however strong.
The principal features Of this YES
sci are its speed, it's torpedo capacity
and its practical invisiDility. The
motive power is crude oil and the
boat has a cruising radius Of $500
miles, with cruising speed Of twen-
ty knots, while auxiliary engines
will enable her to develop one of
forty-eight knots.
She carries ten torpedoes, which
are fired by the steersman. who
drives the vessel as one drives mo-
tor car. At the moment the torpedo
is delivered the steersman swings the
vessel round, touching lever, which
enables the boat to dart away like an
arrow. A further advantage is the
extremely shallow draught which
will allow her to sail over mfnefields
with perfect ease and safety.
For coastal voyages only two men
are necessary, but for longer trips
Accommodations can be arranged for
fifteen. Nader declares that with
sufficient of his vessels to guard
ports it will be impossible for any
vessel to enter or leave. The engines
completed the test in the Autumn OF
1913. The correspondent has seen
certified copies of testimonials from
Germany's highest naval engineer
experts endorsing the inventors
claims and advocating the construc~
ton of vessels to his specification.
Owing to the armistice none was
ever built, and the inventor is now
endeavoring to dispose of his rights
to a foreign power.
1t is understood that negotiations
are in progress with the Italian au-
thorities, who have already deposit
ed a considerable sum at neutral
bank for the right of inspecting the
patents. Nader is we'll known in
naval circles and held an important
position at Kiel during the war. His
engine is apparently an Improvement
in the Diesel type. The boat is a
thoroughly good seagoing craft, ar
mored throughout.

SEED INSPECTION

The Minnesota Crop improvement
association, says T. E. Odland OF Uni
yersity Farm, secretary, is in position
this year, in cooperation with the
Minnesota Experiment station, to ex-
tend it's business of inspecting and
certifying seed grains and grasses OF
various kinds. ''The fees are low'
saws Mr.. Odeland. "$4 plus the mem
bership fee covering the entire
amount regardless Of acreage and the
number and variety of the crops"

for home use the tubers may be dug

are high the crop may also be sold
at this time. The spring crop does
not keep we'll and should be used or
marketed in a short time after dig

winter use.
Potatoes have been grown so long
and with so little regard to fungous
diseases, the output of first class tub
ers is limited. Infected seed potatoes
are common. ne average gardner
does not detect defective potatoes. In

Obtain from druggist half. pint
of formalin go per cent solution)
Add this to so gallons of water and
stir thoroughly. Put as. mucn as
needed into a barrel or tub and soak
the potatoes whole for two hours
After this treatment dry the potatoes
section, anu plant them as desired
The formalin does not deteriorate
rapidly and may be used to treat
many different lots Of potatoes.
The amount of solution may be
reduced proportionately if SO gal

Wheat and corn are often treated
in somewhat similar way to de-
stroy fungi. Such seed is spread
usually on canvas and sprinkled
freely with tn~ solution. The seed is
stirred thoroughly during the process
until every seea is moistened. After
the seed is dry it is ready to plant.
NOTE-Do not grow potatoes in
soil which is known to be contamin-
ated. Such soil must be. used for
other purposes for several years.
Bluestone may be used if formalin
is scarce.

UPSET ALL C. o. =. PLANS

From what has transpired in the
past few days since the great demo-
cratic convention at San Francisco
placed its splendid ticket in the field.
it Is made entirely plain that the re-
publican managers did not expect the
nomination OF Governor Cox. 1t is
. also plain that they are a good deal
upset by it. They were making all
their plans on the basis Of demo-
cratic candidate quite other than the
Ohio governor. Now they find them
selves compelled to the difficult and
perilous operation of changing their
line Of battle in the presence OF the
enemy. And they are getting plenty
OF warnings from within their own
ranks that the enemy is powerful and
dangerous. Tho New York Tribune
bluntly says: The supporters OF
Senator Harding will be most foolish
II they do not frankly realize the
formidableness of the Cox and Roose-
welt ticket" Citations like that from
republican newspapers could be null
tiplied. Says the Detroit Free Press:
Tho San Francisco convention has
chosen the most formidable candidate
within its reach" The Chicago Trib-
uHe admits that Republicans realize
that they have as much Of a fight on
their hands as the democrats could
prepare for them" Nowhere has the
disturbing effect OF the Cox combin-
lican leaders been more clearly set
forth than by the Washington corre-
spondent OF the Providence Journal.
lie writes:
1T is as though the republican
army was set for an attack, when
suddenly the democrats have launch
ed their offensive upon the republi-
can flank and in an unexpected quar-
ter. The republicans must quickly
change front, alter their plan Of bat
tie at the last minute and in this
transition risk a great advantage to
the enemy"
One Of the first results of this
throwing Of the republican plan Of
campaign into confusion is the rising
demand that Senator Harding give up
the idea Of a rocking-chair campaign
on his front porch.

WE MUST SAVE MORE

1t is not necessary for you to go
outside Of your own city to be able
to notice the potent and self apparent
fact that the people Of the United
States are spending altogether too
much money on useless luxuries and
to discover that every dollar waste
fully spent is a definite loss to our
selves and to the nation. Visit any
st. Joseph non n-essential establishment
and you will get an ocular demonstra-
tion. which discloses that since the
world war tho American people have
been going at rather a rapid pace.
They have been buying luxuries in
big figures. Some of them can af-
ford to do this from financial stand
point, but most cannot. None can
afford to waste money just for the
pleasure of spending it and to mako
a show.
Statistics given out at washington
are rather startling. Secretary Hous-
ton states that Americas luxury bill
for single year has been $4,000
OOO, 900.
Thrift does not mean tight-fisted-
ness. 1t does not mean avarice. 1t
means reasonable saving for tho in
evitable rainy day, period that must
come to everyone when the earning
capacity has disappeared. 1t means
that one should live within his means
to get ahead.
Economic conditions can not be
satisfactory until we cease to spend
colossal sums for extravagance. We
are proud. and justly 50. Of the Amer
ican standard OF living. We want 1t
kept the best in the world. But it
will not be maintained by waste and
luxurious indulgence beyond ones
means.

BULL MOoSERS PROGRESSING
BACKWARD

Those progressiyes who followed the
banners of Roosevelt and johnson
eight years ago. at that time protest
ed against a condition in the republi-
can party-a condition of party servi-
tude to special privilege involving the
complete betrayal OF the public inter-
est.
That could be demonstrated by a
million quotations If it were neces-
sary; not only the revolt and the rea-
son for 1t but the truth OF the charges
against the republican organization
which caused the progressives to re-
volt.
The progressives who in 1920 ac-
cept the Harding ticket and platform
are embracing precisely what they
spurned in 1912; the same spirit al
most the same leaders the same sor-
did ideals. And many of them arc
doing It.
The progressive who accepts a tick
ct and platform from the Old Guard
gives the lie fatty to his position in
1912. His ideals OF 1912 cry shame
TO his acquiescence Of 1920.
The progressive who has PRO

pie that inspired him in 1912, is pro.

Equal suffragist Turns Tail

Miss Annie Book. Of California, an
ardent equal suffrage worker, has
had a change of heart since she has
seen it tried and says she will do
penance the balance of her life on
account of her efforts in behalf of
equal suffrage. She makes some re-
markably startling statements relative
to California. She says: "a year in
politics has taught me that women are
intolerant. radical, revolutionary and
more corrupt in politics than men.
Also all this so-called reform leads
to the socialist cooperative common
wealth. Since suffrage there has
been an alarming increase in immor-
ality. divorce and murder in Califor-
mia. Woman suffrage has made cow
ards and puppets Of men. II has
coarsened and cheapened women"
These are statements that no man
would dare to make and it is to bs
hoped that time will disprove the
damaging statements and opinion of
this active suffragist of California.
Time no doubt will bring many
changes but 1t will be some time be-
fore a man will feeel perfectly free
to give a woman a good cursing like
he would a man when they disagree.

oh. THAT NINE ENEMY WOULD"

At last In one presidential cam
paign has that familiar quotation.
"Ohl that mine enemy would write
book" been realized, for in the pres
ent instance both Gov. Cox and sena-
tor Harding are owners OF newspapers,
and in each case a diligent search OF
the files OF their respective publica-
tions for a long time-a very long
time back-is now in progress, and
much may come TO light.
Be that as it may. the voters Of
the United States will probably listen
less to opinions of the past than to
expressions on our present and future
problems. These are the important
considerations, after all, in the minds
OF the voters. Ante bellum editorials
like ante bellum utterances of all our
citizens were founded on the old or
der of things. The war and the per-
iod since hostilities ceased have
brought a new order, and candidates
are likely to be judged by their views
on II. Political managers on the
democratic side have sufficient tab on
Senator Harding through the war
period and since. however. that his
paper need not be resorted to to let
the country know his stand. The
Congressional Record contains enough
to give an insight into his career at
! Washington. and it speaks quite as
