ted farmers national bloc, were made

SENATE ADVICE ON
TREATY IS SOUGHT

Washington, D. C.-The senate for
eign relations committee has received
a message from President Harding
asking the senate's advice on the ques'
tion of reviving the patents treaty with
Germany, which automatically lapsed
with the declaration of war in 1917.
Although the president has power to
revive by mere formal request this
and other treaties which lapsed, If
such request is made within six
months Of the ratification of the peace
treaties, 1t was explained at the White
House when the message was sent
that this government also has the al
tentative of negotiating an entirely
new treaty covering the subject Of
patents. The president desired, 1t was
added, to give the senate the same
opportunity of advising which 1t would
have IL the latter course were to be
followed, although this was not ex-
pected In this instance.
Revival of the lapsed treaty auto
matically would restore its provision
for reciprocity in the matter OF pro-
lection of patents between the two
countries. Officials generally held the
view that 1t would have no immediate
effect on German patents now held
by this country.

TARIFF ROW is FORECAST
Chairman Fordney insists on Ameri.
can Valuation In Basna Duties.

Washington, ID. CA row between
the house and senate over American
valuation was forecast after 1t be.
came known that republican members
of the senate finance committee in re.
writing the so.called permanent tariff
bill had agreed tentatively on continu.
ing the present principle of basing
duties on foreign market value.
Chairman Fordney of the house
ways and means committee declared
that IL this kind Of tariff measure was
passed by the senate, the house would
write new bill with an American
valuation clause and "let the senate
try again." If this should happen, 1t
was said, there would be little pros.
pect OF tariff bill at this session
unless congress remained on the job
throughout most OF the congressional
election campaign.

that he is not frank.
Holmes, recently convicted on a

Louderback.
"Holmes, what did you do for a

sYmpnthetlc Childhood.

Lately, in garden not far from
Boston, the lord of the manor set a
trap to catch the wo0dchucks that
were monopolizing his vegetables. In
stead of serving its purpose, the trap
caught neighboring family cat by the
paws, and nobody dared to release the
agonized animal-untll two little chill
dren came along. Hearing the cries
of the cat, one Of the children gently
petted the cat, while the other opened
the jaws of the trap and released poor
kitty. The incident serves to illustrate
the fearlessness of sympathetic child
hood In relieving distress.

Before his death General Sherman
tried to recall the incident OF the ut

remembers where, when, why and how
the statement was made. He tells the
story:

regiment was the Fourth Iowa cav

the infantry had just gone over the
pontoon bridge across Pearl river.
General Sherman sat on his horse
at the edge Of the river, apparently
lost in thought. Just as the cavalry
started over, the hoofs of the horses
gathering against the loose planks,
Sherman looked up and called out to
us, Boys, war is hell!

Winslow. So heard him clearly.

OF WHEAT
TO ELIMINATE SMUT
TO START This WEEK

The fall campaign of hot water
treatment of wheat seed for elimination
of smut infection is expected to start
this week, reports County Agent Dol
an, who will have supervision of the
plant, which is located at Centerville.
The treatment, which is calculated
to eliminate a disease which last year
was estimated to have caused a loss
of 10 per cent of the wheat in Wayne
county, is conducted by means of a
special plant owned by the farm bur
eau. Wheat is first soaked for five
hours, and then plunged into hot water
kept at a temperature of 129 degrees,
with an allowable variation of only a
few degrees either way. The wheat is
submerged for 10 minutes and then
spread out to dry. The smut spores
are killed by the heat.
Benefits Are Shown
Over 600 bushels were treated for

HARVESTING OF CORN
STARTED IN PREBLE
AND WAYNE COUNTIES

Corn harvest has begun in Preble
and Wayne counties, many silo filling
rings being busy, with a few already
finished. Some sections have started
cutting corn also and it is expected
that fields in which wheat is TO be
sown will soon be cleared and the
corn shocked.
In corn cutting, some difficulty is
being experienced in sections visited
by the late summer or fall storms due
to the condition in which they left the
stalks. Stalks were so badly twisted
that it may be impossible to use a
corn binder, reported Paul Bertsch, of
western Wayne. Sections about Web
ster, in southern Boston township and
in Jackson township of Preble county.
also have fields in which orn is lean
ing badly where it may be necessary
to cut by hand.
Predictions of a record breaking
yield are heard on all sides. Farmers
state that corn is in better shape and
shows a probable heavier yield, than
for many years. Yields of rs bushels
an acre are frequently predicted for
western Wayne county, with still heav-
Ter yields for some exceptional farms,
while even the poorest land is expected
to come above the 40-bushel yield this
year. Corn also is of a fine quality.
