GERMANS FEAR
POLAND rule
Inhabitants In Plebiscite Zone
In Upper Silesia Are Excited
Over Elections.

Open, Upper Silesia, June 10
German workmen in the plebiscite
zone are tremendously excited over
the election. Jealous patriots are
firm in the belief that Germany soon
will be on its feet again, they are dis
mayed at the possibility of Upper
Silesia being added to Poland Ruin
OF industry and an irremediable set
back to German labor in the district
is the dark picture they paint of Pol
ish victory.
Seeking the views of Upper Sile-
sian workmen on the plebiscite, the
correspondent asked the editor of an
Open newspaper to arrange a meet
ing with labor leaders. The editor
got together dozen, all German.
Here are the principal points of their
arguments:
Alliance with Poland would be a
catastrophe for Upper Silesian work
men as they would be deprived of the
benefit OF German social and labor
legislation, such as workmen's insur-
ance and compensation acts and the
employees representation in the opera
ton of the Industrial and CONNER
cial concerns.
Poland is an agricultural county
and backward socially and econom-
ically. Lacking industries the Poles
have had little experience in the
scientific management of mines and
factories. Even in agriculture the
Poles still use the most primitive

mand more cotton?
BY next year, he said, the continen-
tai mills probably would be more ac-
tive than now and the demand in
creased and the Oriental demand
would also be much higher. So long
as the workers and producers of the
world were making so much more
money than they ever did before, he
did not see how the demand for cot
ton goods was ever going to be SUBJ
stantially reduced. The world was not
producing sufficient cotton to meet
this demand and was not likely to do
so unless some way was devised of
making use of even the lowest grades.
1t was only a question of time, he
asserted, when the world would face
a scarcity of cotton and it was high
time, therefore, that something was
done to develop new source of sup
ply, for even when they We're found
they would not be able to afford SUBJ
stantial relief for five or ten years.
He was not sure that the time had
not come for them to look around for

had never been exploited.

methods and implements. In their
unskillful hands the highly compli-
Gated industrial mechanism of Upper
Silesia would be ruined.
Polish labor is underpaid. Upper
Silesia, compared to Poland, is a la
Dor paradise. If it becomes part of
Poland, Poles would flock in and
overrun the country, reducing wage
and working standards and forcing
the Germans out of employment
IF Upper Silesia becomes Polish it
goes with the East. If it stays Ger
people will follow in the path of the
democracies of England and the
United States"
Much was said about democracy
No Bolshevist sentiment was ex-
pressed at all. These Germans pro-
fessed great distrust of Poland's for
eign policy which they declared to be
imperialistic. They conceded that Po-
land now was nominally social-d
ocratic. but they asserted that the
Poles were such an unstable people
that their policy was likely to change
over night.
German Upper Silesians want to
remain with democratic Germany
they said. German workmen want
to settle down to work and restore
German industries. They want to
show the world that Germany can
fulfill the obligations of the Peace
Treaty. But the war indemnity can
not be paid if Germany is deprived OF
the raw materials Upper Silesia can
supply"

PRETTY SOFT" FOR SERVANTS
 IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK.-An increase of 25 percent in burglary insurance rates which has just been put into effect has brought to light the fact that employers, made timid by the short age of domestic workers, are toler- ating thefts from their wardrobes and wine cellars in order to retain the few servants they have ''in cap tivity" Officials of indemnity com panies who give this explanation de- clare that in many cases employers have refused to allow the servants in their households to be questioned about thefts, through fear that they will quit if annoyed.
 i Emboldened by this situation. dis honest servants are reported to be helping themselves to their employ CTS effects, such as wine, clothing. and jewelry.
 Servants are privileged charac- ters in the homes of the wealthy throughout New York;" said the head of one surety company. "In many cases holders of burglary in surance policies have cancelled their claims against the company rather than to prosecute a guilty servant, knowing that this would mean the loss of his or her services"
 ! One New York lawyer recently refused to allow his servants to be questioned regarding a s1.000 theft, saying: Don't go near the house. If the maids suspect you, they will leave"
 {! One investigator reported case in which a young servant girl had, in two weeks. disposed of eight eases of champagne and eight cases of whisky ny holding wine parties in the kitchen for her friends and en- tertaining them with choice liquors from her employers private stock. Although the owner knew he could not replace the missing beverages, he refused to prosecute.

AVOID ovERCRoWDINe CHICKS
One of Leading Causes of Rsnoe Losses During Summer Months-
 Fresh Ar Is Needed.

During the hot summer months the greater part of the trouble experienced on poultry plants is found on the ranges where the growing stock is kept. According to the poultry de- partment of the New Jersey agrfcul- tural experiment. station one of the leading causes of range losses during the summer is the overcrowdIng of the birds. There should be 0 sufici- ent number of colony houses to ao- commodate the birds. The colony houses are used by the young birds at night. and If they are forced to crowd together, serious results will occur. Chicks need large amount of fresh mir in order to keep growing constantly. If crowded at night they are forced to breathe the same air time after time, a condition which re-. suits in stunted growth and invites disease. Colony houses with from 90 to 75 birds in each provide much bet ter conditions than in cases where hundreds of birds are kept in a single house. If several emaciated, stunted birds are found on the ranges, look first to the colony houses at night. They are probably overcrowded.

GIVE HOME GARDENS
 BEST OF ATTENTION
Don't Put Away Rake and Hoe
 Too Early in Season.
Surface of Soil Should Be Lightly Stirred and Kept MeIIow-FineIy sIfted Manure Scattered Over
 Seeds Is Excellent

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Here is a message for the tillers of the thousands of home gardens al- ready planted in cities and the smaller towns, and other thousands in process of being planted. Let every gardener remember that his work of food pro duction Is only begun. Many amateurs make the mistake of putting away the rake and hoe as soon as they have the seeds in the ground. The surface of the ground should be lightly stirred with a rake and kept mellow before the seeds come up. Often a week or so of extremely dry weather comes after garden planting: This Is liable to cause many of the smaller seeds to fail to germinate, or, if they germ mate, they may not have enough moisture to keep them alive.
 There are two or three ways of pre- venting loss. One Is to use the sprink- ling can and keep the surface lightly watered until the seeds are up. An other is to lay, a board directly over the row of seeds until they Sprout and are just about ready to come through the ground. It does not do, however, to leave the boards over the row too long, as the little seedlings on coming up against the boards will be bent out of shape and weakened. Still another method is to scatter a little fine, sifted manure. Here, also, care must be taken that the cover ing is not too heavy. or the seedlings will be injured when they come through the ground.
 A steel rake is one of the best tools for cultivating the garden, because it loosens the top inch or two of the soil. Before the plants are up, break the surface, ever so gently over the rows, with the rake. After the plants appear, use the rake frequently along each side of the row to keep the soil loose and mellow.

Japanese Trade Expands.

Japan is ambitious to obtain a large share of the trade of the South Sea islands, which Is estimated at 2,OOO,OOO,OOO yen year. Of this Jap anese exports amount to only IF per cent, but have increased rapidly since the war. Some Japanese commercial leaders are advising that in order to increase the sale of Japanese goods in the South seas Japan must import from the islands rubber, sugar, chemi- calls, dyestuffs and spices, in which these islands abound. President Xii mura of the Singapore Japanese Elm porium, urges that Japan establish di- rect trade agencies with Sumatra and Manila for expansion of Japanese trade in Malaysia.

Should Use Beans and Peas At
 Times in Place of Meat

Should Use Beans and Peas At
 Times in Place of Meat
 Beans and peas contain more pro- tein than other fresh vegetables. This protein, however, is not the same as the proteins of meat, milk, or egg, food specialists of the Uni ted States Department of Agricul- ture say, and should not be used to the exclusion of the others. When, however, beans and peas are freely used, less milk, meat, and eggs are needed. The following foods or combinations of foods supply as much protein as one-fourth pound of beef of average composition:
 Eight or nine ounces of shelled green peas or beans. A large dish of green peas may be used in place of meat for dinner occasionally. Many persons like peas cooked with mint or served with mint sauce.
 One egg and or ounces of shelled green peas or beans. An omelet with peas q egg and 1 cup peas per person. or baked pea or bean souffle may be used as a meat substitute.
 One cup skim milk and 4 ounces of shelled green peas or beans. A Lima bean chowder made with skim milk is good lunch or supper dish.

 AS the peaches come or the roller couveyor they roll down a slight i'm cline to the ropes on which they travel until dropped through into canvas bins. It is impossible to congest the machine because the peaches are fed one at a time to the moving ropes. Some objections Do former rope sirers have been overcome through the use of a special coupling device. an idler which serves to keep the proper ten- don on the ropes and the mechanism which quickly widens or reduces the space between the ropes. The machine. which was devised particularly for six- basket carrier packing. can be used equally we'll for hushei packs with slight modification of the bins.

T. B. Spreads to Healthy Live Stock
 In Many Ways

T. B. Spreads to Healthy Live Stock In Many Ways
 Here are a few ways in which tu- berculosis may be introduced into a healthy herd, according to specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture
 By the addition of an animal that is affected with, the disease; there fore animals should be purchased only from herds known to be free from tuberculosis, or from herds under supervision for the eradica- tion of the disease.
 By feeding calves with milk or other dairy products from tubercu- lous cows; this frequently occurs where the owner purchases mixed skim milk from the creamery and feeds it to his calves without first making it safe by boiling or pas teurization.
 By showing cattle at fairs and exhibitions reports have indicated that numerous herds have become infected through mingling with in- fected cattle at shows or by occupy ing infected premises.
 The shipment of animals in cars which have recently carried diseased cattle and which have not been dis infected properly.
 Community pastures; pastures in which tuberculous cattle are allowed to graze are a source of danger.
 In most cases the outward ap- pearance of the animal bears no re- lation to the degree of infection. The disease frequently develops so slowly that in some cases it may be months, or even longer, before any symptoms are shown; therefore, be on the safe side and have your herd tested.
 Much valuable information on the subject is contained in Farmers Bulletin 1869, Tuberculosis in Live Stock. Copies may be had by ad- dressing a request to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.
