SOLF IS OUT OF GERMAN CABINET

Authority of the Ebert Regime Appears to Be Gaining w Strength. * STRIPS THE REDS OF POWER Officially Denied in Berlin That the s Government Considers the Convening of the Reichstag—Plotters Escape in Airplanes. !•' >■ Berlin, Dec. 13.—Dr. W. B. Sols, the minister of foreign affairs, has handed in his resignation and it has been accepted by the cabinet. The foreign secretary’s retirement does not come as a surprise, as ids relations with the independent socialist wing of the Ebert-Haase cabinet reached the 'Straining point some time ago. Official depial was made that the 'government was considering the convening of the reichstag. * The Tageiblatt had reported that the cabinet was to convoke the reichstag in order to give the government a parliamentary basis in dealing with the allies. It added that the reichstag session probably would begin next weak; Cabinet's Authority Growing. The authority of the cabinet as a whole "appears to be greater than it Was last week. The executive committee of the soldiers’ and workers’ -council, which sent an invitation to Adolph Joffe and M. Radek of the bolshevik embassy in Berlin, but who ihad left for Russia to attend the congress of the councils December 12, has 'been compelled to second the request of the cabinet that the bolshevik diplomats abstain from their proposed visit. Joffe and Radek already had reached Dvinsk on their way back, but were held up there by German soltdiers, who refused to permit them to continue their journey. There is no doubt that the executive •Committee technically has a right to invite the bolshevik! and to order tin cabinet to receive them. The fact that the committee surrendered that right is looked upon as significant. Reds Stripped of Power. The Spartacus organ, the Red Elag. Indeed declares that the executive committee protested against the march of troops into Berlin, but that its protest, like its demand that the troops Ibe disarmed, was ignored by the cabi The Red Flag apparently exaggerates the situation, but there seems n< -doubt that the executive committee which has been drifting steadily to rward the extreme radical side, no long ler occupies the dominating nositlor

which It had in the first days of the revolution. Proceedings have been instituted against Baron von Rheinbaben, former Prussian minister of finance, and Count MatusChka, accused of being Involved in last Friday’s raid on the ex ecutive committee of the soldiers’ and workingmen's council, the Lokal .An zeiger says it is informed. Both of the men accused are said to havi reached neutraj territory in an airplane.

FRANCIS TO GO TO PARIS

Ambassador to Russia Arrives in London on Way to Conference. London, Dec. 13—David R. Francis, United States ambassador to Russia who as Dave Francis of St. Louis was one of the biggest grain operators and brokers in the world, seems likely to be Russia’s principal, perhaps sole representative at tire peace conference at Versailles and Paris. Ambassador Francis arrived here and will remain until Saturday, when he will leave for Paris to meet President Wllson.z Tlie ambassador said present conditions in Russia were indescribable, but expressed tlie hope that something sound would soon Inevolved out of the chaos.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent Stewart Learning.

The Potash Situation. “The possibility of securing supplies of potash from Europe in time for mixing in fertilizers to be used this coming spring is-remote,” writes Milton Whiting, chief of U. S. Bureau of Soils. His letter goes on to rehearse the potash conditions in this country, most'of which are well understood by our farmers. Muriate of potash-is being produced at Los Angeles, Cal., containing per cent borax. Unfortunate results with this class of material makes it very unpopular in this locality. The potash produced arbund Antioch, Lake Side, Hoffland and Alliance, Nebraska, is more promising, and at the request of D. S. Makeever, the writer has made a complete study of this material. It runs from 25 to 30 per cent potash and costs about $135 per ton set down in Jasper county. High cost of production is more responsible for this price than the demand, which is not heavy. The best suggestion that can be made at this time is that those needing material for next spring should make arrangements with their agent at once as there is little hope of lower price. More Shorthorns. William Hershman, of Walker township, has returned from Logansport, where he purchased two registered Shorthorn heifers from Maurice Winn.* These animals are of straight Scotch breeding and were secured at a cost of $1290. Hershman believes in stocking jwith the best and will make a valuable addition to the livestock breeding fraternity. Corn Growers to Meet. A meeting of all farmers interested in greater production of corn will be held at the Court House Saturday afternoon," December 14th,. at . 2 o’clock. 'The purpose of the meetings will be to take definite steps to secure the improvement desired and an interesting program has been arranged. The public is invited to attend. A Cause for Low Corn Yields Discovered _ Dr. George Hoper, stationed at Lafayette by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, is about to announce one of the most important discoveries relating to plant diseases ever made. In corn breeding experiments it has often been observed that a well bred ear when planted would produce only barren stalks or nubbins. The law of “like produces like” seemed to be suspended. Dr. Hoper has discovered that the most common cause of barren stalks and nubbins is a germ disease known as root and joint rot, which attacks the vitality of the plants and prevents proper development. The disease is transmitted through the seed only. Dr. Hoper has discovered a method of detecting the presence of this dis-

ease on the plant in the fall and in the seed corn in the spring. Preliminary arrangements have been made for a demonstration .of this work in Jasper county, according to the following plan: One hundred farmers will each be asked to contribute one seed ear. Dr. Hoper will examine these and announce which are diseased and will produce yields. The 100 ears will then be planted, each in a separate row in such a place that all interested farmers may follow the course of the disease durng the summer and check.Jip on the accuracy of Dr. Hoper’s method of detecting the disease. Volunteers for farmers to carry on this work next summer are in order. Food Show Th% results of the combination food show held by the Home Demonstration Agent and the Home Economics Club of Rensselaer was a success in every way. Every township but ane was represented in the donation for the county hospital. The county ladies donated: 350 quarts of canned food; pumpkin, potatoes, squash, cabbage, carrots, beets, butter, eggs, lard and a fine assortment of clean clothes. The canning clubs donated part and some all of- their exhibit. The committee in charge .wish to thank the ladies for their good work. Mrs. Fyfe, who acted as chairman at Wheatfield, Mrs. Halleck at DeMbtte and Mrs. Rainier of Remington and Carpenter township, sent in a very large assortment of supplies. The boys and girls were awarded prizes fOr their summer’s work on Saturday. A number that had completed the work as to record books and stories failed to make an exhibit.* All three were required.
