FARM CALENDAR

Watch for Hog Cholera--Keep close
watch Of the hogs and if any show
signs of being sick, secure the services
of a veterinarian. Hog cholera is wide
spread over the state and may get into
the herd most any time. Don't wait.
Procrastination is the thief of time
in connection with hog cholera.
To Poison Field Mice Field mice
may become so abundant that it might
be advisable to poison them. Wheat
or corn poisoned with sulphate of
strychnine is commonly used. One
ounce Of the poison is dissolved in a
a quart of sugar syrup. A few drops
of anise oil may be added to make the
mixture more attractive. The grain
is soaked for two hours in this solu-
ton and then distributed in the
orchard. This poisoned grain must be
kept from domestic animals and fowls.
Good Time for Repair Work-It is
not too early to make plans for next
years work. An inventory should be
taken Of all farm machinery and note
made of all repairs required. There
is no time like the present to repair
implements, and this may be done
inside while the mercury registers
zero.
Grape cuttings are made from we'll
ripened wood Of the past season, usu-
ally about 8 inches in length. Most
propagators prefer to cut the lower
end Just below a bud and the upper
end one or two inches above a bud.
They may be tied in bundles Of so
or 100 by means OF twisted willow
twigs and stored in damp sand, tops
down, in a cool cellar or storage pit.
They must be we'll callused before
planting the following spring. II as
planting time approached, they have
not callused, place them In a pit with
the butt end up and three inches of
soil over them. Then place a hot
bed or storm sash oyer the pit. They
are commonly planted six inches apart
in rows three inches apart leaving
only the top bud above tbe surface
OF the ground.
Clean UP Barn Lot--December is a
good time to clean up around the barn
lot. A layer of n and litter over
the lots will not allow the water to
run on properly In the spring and a
flthy muddy lot Is the result. If the
gronnd has some slope away from the
barn and the litter Is cleaned up this
fall 4 viii help much towards dry lots
in the spring.

From The Ty1bune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Senator
Wesley L. Jones, chief sponsor Of the
merchant marine act; P. A. S. Frank
lin, president of the International Mer-
camille Marine Company, and Admiral
William S. Benson, chairman of the
Shipping Board, were the principal
figures in a sharp controversy at the
opening of the convention of the Ma
tional Merchant Marine Association at
the Hotel Washington here to-day.
To the charge of Senator Jones that
the International Mercantile Marine
Company, an American concern, is op-
Grating under an agreement with the
British government not to do anything
calculated to injure British trade or
shipping, and with the Lord High Chan
cellor of Great Britain as sole arbiter.
Mr.. Franklin responded warmly, point
ing out that the agreement was known
to American officials and satisfactory
to them and that the company had act
ed in the best interests OF American
shipping.
Admiral Benson said that he had
only just learned of the agreement and
that he would investigate the matter.
Foreign cooperation against Ameri-
can shipping was charged in an address
made at the afternoon session of the
convention by Representative William
E. Humphrey, of Seattle. Great Brit

Canal.
Charges Anti-American Campaign
Charging that campaign has been
carried on for years and is still being
carried on by British interests to de-
stroy the American merchant marine.
Senator Jones proceeded to read the
text of an agreement which he said
had been made in 1903 between the
International Mercantile Marine Com
pany and the British government and
since reaffirmed. Mr.. Jones quoted
the three following paragraphs, which
show the character of the agreement:
"An agreement made the first day of
August, 1903, between the Commission
ers for executing the Offices Of Lord
High Admiral of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland and the
Board Of Trade (for and on behalf Of
His Majesty's Government), of the

Special Dispatca to The Tribune

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2O.-Madly in
love with Philadelphia business man,
who failed to return her affection, Miss
Beatrice Herbert, twenty-nine years
old, of Montreal, chased him half way
around the world, partly by airship,
and the pursuit ended to-day before
Magistrate Mecleary.
After the object of her pursuit, Will
liam Zinser, had, told his story the de-
fendant, who was charged with breach
of the peace and disorderly conduct,
was held in $500 bail for further
hearing next Thursday. At that time,
it is expected, papers for her deporta-
ton to Canada will have arrived here.
According to Dr. John Egan, a police
surgeon, Miss Herbert is perfectly
snne-"that is, if anybody deeply in
love-" he said, "can be called sane. She
is simply determined 'vamp'-de-
termined to capture and win this man.
1t has become an obsession with her"
Zinser, who ia about twenty five
years old, told the magistrate that when

him so by her actions in pressing her
attentions toward him that he had TO-

ON BOARD PRESIDENT-ELECT
HARD1NG'S TRAIN EN- ROUTE ST.
AUGUSTINE, Fla.' Friday, Jan. 21.-
The Marion chapters in the life Of
Warren G. Harding were temporarily
closed last midnight when he. boarded
this train for pre-inaugural vacation
trip to Florida. The green house in
Mount Vernon Avenue, with the white
front porches, has been rented to a
coal and building material dealer. The
Marion Daily Star, foundation stone in
the Harding career, has a new editor.
But the United States is soon to have
a new President
Thirty-six years ago Warren Harding
came to Marion, a gawky youth with
uncut hair and a craving for success.
Caledonia, one of Marion's satellite
towns in the adjoining county, ignored
his departure, just as Marion ignored
his arrival. Nowadays, however, there
is hardly citizen of either place whose
chest expansion may be referred to as
normal, and all because they have been
neighbors of that same youth.
1t was self-confdence that impelled
young Harding to leave Caledonia and
strike out in search of his fortune in
strange community. Yesterday, in. q
farewell word of advice to the Mari on
High School students, sons and daugh-
ters Of his Marion neighbors, he as
sured them that he approached his new
duties with unshaken confidence.
Miss Abigail Harding, white-haired
sister of the President-elect and a
teacher of English in the high school,

hands, and assigning tasks to every one

Harding Guaranty Gives
Sick Pastor His Salary
Agrees to Pay New Minister So
Church Won't Stop Para
1ytic,s Stinend

MARION, Ohio, Jan. 20,-A story of
President-elect Harding's devotion to
one of his fellow townsmen came to
light by chance tonight after it had
been kept a secret for several weeks
from some of those most directly con-
cerned. 1t involved financial guar
anty by the President-elect to enable
his church to continue the salary of a
pastor who has been incapacitated since
last July.
The minister is DR.. Thomas H. Nc
Afee, of Trinity Baptist Church, of
which Mr.. Harding is trustee. DR..
McAfee was stricken with paralysis
more than six months ago and the
strain of paying his salary, in addition
to that of an acting pastor, weighed
heavily on the church treasury. The
question came to painful issue at a
meeting of the trustees at the begin
ming of the new year and Mr.. Harding
volunteered to pay the salary of the
new pastor from his own pocket if that
of DR.. McAfee were continued.
The President-elect asked that the
arrangement be regarded as conf
Dental. and so we'll was the request
observed that few members of the con-
gregation have learned Of it.
