J. ]. AID TURNED
 TIDE OF WAR II
 ALLIES--H HOOVER
lRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. March 13-While
 refusing to comment on military plans
 or policies, Herbert Hoover told the
 senate committee Investigating the l navy departments conduct of the war that, owing to shortage of food and heavy sinking of allied merchant ships by German submarines, conditions l abroad were critical from April, 1917, until September.
 Il Mir. Hoover was called before the committee at the request of Rear Ad- miral Sims. who asserted that he was best qualified to support his contention | that the allies were losing the war
 when the United States Joined them 1 and that only a vigorous campaign l against the U-boats could bring about 1 victory
 = Asked if the navy department coulc
 not have offered more complete CO., operation by sending more vessels to i the critical zone. MT. Hoover declined l to express an opinion except to say l that he supposed everything was done I that could be-" He told the committee 1 that he did not consider himself com
 petent to testify regarding technical military and naval matters, and that his business was to get food to the allies"
 MT. Hoover expressed the belief that American participation turned the scales in favor of the allies at the critical period of the war, although it was incorrect to say that the United States won the war. Efforts to prove that the navy's fail- ure to keep him informed of important developments and changes in policy caused his associates on the allied naval councils to believe he was not in the full confidence of his govern ment formed the burden of Admiral Sims testimony today. He criticised, particularly, the assignment of vessels to the Azores Islands without first warning him of the departments plans, asserting that Washington officials played into the enemies hanGs"s by permitting a submarine attack on an Azores port to cause diversion of American forces to those waters. He characterized the incident as 'vio- lation of the fundamental principles of warfare" and an indication of the "ef- fectiveness of German propaganda

AMERICAN STEAMSHIP LINES MAY OPERATE 'EX- GERMAN ROUTES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 13.-A plan under which American steamship com panies would take over and operate, with American ships, the 60 pre-war world trade routes of the Hamburg American line is being worked out by the shipping board, subject, it is under stood, to the approval of the German company.
 The proposal was approved today by the senate commerce commission, ten to four, after Chairman Payne had explained the situation. There was an apparent difference of opinion among committee members as to the exact plans of the board but both Chairman Jones and MT. Payne, in subsequent statements, said the board would not be a party to the proposed arrange ments with the Hamburg American line that its part merely would be to furnish ships either through sale or lease, and to lend its cooperation in obtaining this business for American shipping interests.
 Whether the plan originated with the German company or with the board was not made clear. It was said, how would be cooperative one; that the Hamburg American line had the port facilities for handling its pre-war busi- ness. but was without ships. The routes which the American companies will take over include not only those between Germany and the United States but also to South America the Orient and other parts of the world.

DAIRY TALKS
Dairy cows IS most efficient means of turning forage into money on the farm.
No. 999
Scrubs should be eliminated Eldridge tells about scrub cows

 Conditions in the Salt River Valley have decreed that efficiency must ob- tain in all agricultural pursuits. The high prices of land make it arbitrary that the cotton grower produce a bale of cotton to the acre. He can only do this by crop rotation and fertilization of the soil, and it has also been shown that $4OO and $500 acre land Is too val uable for pasture, but will produce profitable crop of forage to be fed in feed yards on the place. To be profit able it must be fed to animals that will turn 1t into the greatest value. It has been demonstrated that the dairy cow Is the best and most efficient means of doing this, but SHE MUST BE A REAL DAIRY ANIMAL.
 Let Ben Eldredge tell you about some of the 'scrubs" he has known.

lnoloriovs obstructionists.

Some folks are at their best in sprag- ging the progress of others. They mis take the right to obstruct for evidence of the power to construct. Yet what child does not know the difference? Any fool can stand In the way of prog ress. And the more obstinate he is the better success will he have. But the fact that he dare oppose himself to the combined judgment of others does not prove him a man of strength. In fact
 the chances are against his being in the right There may be some pleasure in bucking the crowd, but 1t takes . hero or fool to do 1t. All honor to the man who, knowing he Is right, dares to face any odds in the exercise of his conviction. The world will hear from such in the buildings they leave as marks to fidelity and faith.-Grit.

WESLEY READ ON HORSEBACK
~no many Noted Writers Took Their Walks While Engaged In the
 Perusal of Book.

Reading on horseback-one of the rarer accomplishments of man, accord ing to Mr. Fisher-was sedulously practiced by John Wesley.
 History, poetry and philosophy" Wesley relates, the Manchester Guar dian recalls, II commonly read on horseback, having other employment at other times"
 Wesley maintained that this prac- tice made for safety on long country rides.
 T asked myself, How is 1t no horse stumbles when I am reading? No ac- count can possibly be given but this {: Because l throw the reins on his neck. l then set myself to observe. and aver that in riding about 100000 miles l never remember my horse 4except two that would fall over heels any waD to fall or make considerable stumble while I rode with a slack rein"
 Shelley used to read when out walk ing and frequently collided with other walkers because bis eyes were fixed on book.
 Macsulay was also pedestrian reader; so was Southey, who gives . long list of books read while taking his evening walk. These range from "a batch of volumes relating the events of the last ten years in Spain to the Nibelungen in its original old Ger man."
