What the nation needs Is fewer men with something up their sleeves and more with sleeves rolled up their arms. There Is a lot of romance In a canoe, but it is often dangerous, as romance is likely to be. War calls for war substitutes, but It calls principally for a substitute for war.

STATE NEWS Indianapolis. Evidence that there are combinations in restraint of trade in the coal Industry In Indiana has been obtained by the special food and coal commission, according to a statement made by Jesse K. Eschbach, chairman of .the commission, at a hearing of coal wholesalers. Representatives of Indiana Jobbers at the hearing urged the commission to permit Jobbers to charge as their commission 10 per cent of the price they pay for coal at the mouth of the mine. The commission heard both operators and retailers. "This commission baa evidence said Mr. Eschbach, "to show that retailers In some Indiana communities have such a close organization with Indiana operators that no customer In certain territories can buy n pound of coal direct from mines or collerles. unless the coal goes through the hands of a retailer who collects the regular profit." Anderson. Madison county farmers report that more corn will be shocked or ensilaged than ever before because of the low price for corn delivered at elevators. x Farmers estimate they would lose heavily at the present prices since they are below the price paid for seed. Corn for canning factories is yielding approximately $48 an acre, and farmers who grew corn for packing plants believe it will prove more profitable than corn for the later market. Tomatoes for canning concerns have been averaging more than $120 an acre and for the reason that the canning plants pay better than other markets It Is predicted by farmers that the acreage of common corn will be reduced next year In favor of sweef corn and tomatoes. Goshen. Charles E. Morrlce of Peru, formerly of Goshen, who surrendered to the sheriff of Elkhart county, who serwd warrant Issued on thirty-six indictments returned against Morrlce by the Elkhart county grand Jury, completed giving bond for $LM.200 and returned to Peru to resume? the management of a cabinet company.

Instead of lOO.OoS. as announced, should be 100.212. and the population of Franklin county. Instead of the 14.7f)S, should be 14,800. The discrepancies were discovered when addition of the totals of county population, as announced, gave the state a population of 222 fewer persons than was announced by the bureau as the total for the whole state. Seymour. With favorable weather thousands of acres In Jackson county will be .seeded to wheat. Most farmers withheld sowing until after October f because of the possible danger of the Hessian lly.

Wflphlngon, D. C Complete revised population statistics for the 13 congressional districts In Indiana were made public by the census bureau. They show conclusively that the state will lose at least one member of the congress under the reapportionment to be made when the congress reconvenes, and there Is the possibility, as revealed by them, that two members may be lost. Under the 1910 apportionment by the congress, there Is one member of the house of representa

tives for each 21 1,877 persons. Under ( me iir.li census the population of each of the congressional districts Is shovn to be as follows: First district. 107,774; Second. 210.(344; Third. 19.V777: Fourth, 170.702; Fifth. 210.2S0; Sixth, 1S3.320; Seventh. 34S.001 ; Eighth. 210.312; Ninth. 100.270; Tenth, 2S0.3S7; Eleventh. 20.T02r; Twelfth. 20,402; Thirteenth. 2S7.751. Valparaiso.

James II. I'arker. both of Chicago, and Dan Trkulja. fJary. Thomas Batchelor, Valparaiso, who was found guilty of murder In the first degree by a jury, was also sentenced to life imprisonment. The cashier was killed when a bandit gang attempted to rob the bank at Tolleston. The four men were arrested and were sentenced to death in the electric chair after a trial in the Circuit court at Crown I'oint. The Supreme court granted a new tral and the cases were taken to Valparaiso from Lake county on a change of venue. Lafayette. One hundred and fifty farmers, bankers, business men and county agricultural agents of Tippecanoe and. other counties in district 3 of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations will leave Lafayette Sunday, November 7, on a railroad tour to Illinois. Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, for the purpose of inspecting agricultural experiment stations and representative farms. The trip will he similar to that recently taken by 2."0 Ceorgia farmers and business men who visited Purdue, the University of Illinois and many other places in the middle West. A special train has been chartered. Hammond. Mary MIsIcko of this" city was arrested for operating a still. There Is nothing unusual about catching moonshine artists these days, hut the fact that Mary Is a woman, and has only one leg. Is unusual. She probably Is the only one-legged won an accused of operating a still since stills came Into style. The missing leg was cut off on the Erie rnilrrmd three years ago. Wholesale quantities of mash and whisky found by the officers Indicated 'that Mary had gone Into business on a large scale. Newcastle. A picnic, for twins was held recently at the home of Harry Kegor, near here. Twins were present In- large numbers and of all ages. The event was the first of Its kind. The picnic was so successful that It was derided to make the affair an annual event and In time It is hoped to expand the picnic and take in the entire state. 1'ersons attending the event said they did not know there were as many twins In Henry county as showed up at the Itegor home. East Chicago. Leo McCormlefc, mayor of East Chicago, removed nil members of the board of park trustees from that board because they ' had promulgated a system of boulevards against the wishes of the mayor. Contrary to his requests such a system of boulevards was ndopted in order to stop vacation of certain streets, which was started by the board of works in order to create an Industrial site for one of the leading Industries of the city. Indianapolis. Since the active settlement of Indinna began the timber land area of the state has steadily decreased until it Is at present 1,004.047 acres, or about 7 oep cent of the whole area, according to n survey made by the stale department of conservation. Utilization of waste lands In the hilly sections of southern Indiana Is suggested by the department for the purposes of reforestation. Oreencastle. A jury In the Putnam Circuit court disagreed In the second trial of Lewis D. Lemay of Clay county, charged with the murder of William Lawson. The Jury stood eight for ncqulta! and four for conviction from start to finish. This was the second trial for Lemay, the first resulting In a "hung jury.

Once More the Nicaragua Canal Project

WASHINGTON. Recently the United States government, by a payment of $:UXXMXX, has acquired the exclusive right to dig a canal across Nicaragua a step prompted by a report tlsat Great Pritain and Jtpan contemplated the project as a joint enterprise on their own account, anyway, says report. It was for a long time thought that we would decide upon a Nicaragua route in preference to that of Panama, but the Unal choice fell to the isthmus, mainly because of fear of he Nicuraugan volcanoes, which are very temperamental and sometimes, fiercely explosive. Nevertheless the proposed line of the Nicaragua!! canal passed 0 miles south of the nearest active volcano and the route had certain conspicuous advantages. For one thing, the highest elevation to be crossed is only ir.5 feet (this being the lowest gap in the continent's bar' .)one anywhere from

First Wireless Heard

TIIK first message from the United States naval radio station, known as the Lafayette radio station, at Hordeaux, France, which, is undergoing official acceptance tests, has been received here. The message follows: 'This Is the first wireless message to he hoard around the world and marks a milestone on the road of scientific achievement." Secretary Daniels sent the following message In reply: "My sincere congratulations upon the .successful completion of the gigantic radio station named for that distinguished Frenchmen whom all Americans honor. Designed to serve a military purpose, It will now serve to hind closer the cordial relations which have always existed between France and the United States. On behalf of the United Stutes navy, I desire to express my pleasure upon the achievement of the Lafayette radio station In transmitting the first message to be heard around the world. We are happy to recognize in this powerful signal a symbol of that force and sympathetic understanding with which the voice of France shall IÄ heard by Its sister republic." The Lafayette radio station was built by the United States navy department, under the direction of the bureau of engineering and the bureau of yards and docks. Its construction was begun during the war to

Milk With a Delicious Sawdust Flavor

SAWDUST ISN'T there a hoary old yarn about a man who equipped his donkey with jrrcen spectacles and tried to educate It to eat shavings? Wed, anyway, he wasn't a circumstance to Uncle Sam. He's going to fatten up our , cows and make 'em give more milk on a diet of snwtlust. In short, when the dairy farmer of the future needs feed for his cows he may get a fresh supply by going out in his wood lot and reducing a few stumps to sawdust. Dy chemical treatment sawdust may be converted Into a nourishing cattle food. This fact was made public at a sectional meeting of Industrial and engineering chemists, American Chemical society, at the University -of Chicago. The process of preparing such ani A Possible Election POSSIBILITIES growing out of the Tennessee suffrage tangle arc being otllcially considered, notwithstanding the fact that Connecticut has since made a ratification of sorts. The possibilities arise out of constitutional provisions that a candidate must have i majority In the electoral college to secure his election. If courts should declare, after the election has occurrrd, that the Tennessee ratification of suffrage was illegal all women's votes cast under authority of the nineleenth amendment also would be Illegal, and there would be nothing to do but throw out the whole vote of states where such Illegal voting had occurred. Thus, no candidate would have a maItrritj of the electors and the house of representatives would elect the president. DISTRIBUTION of President Wllfon's flock of sheep, which have roamed the White House lawns for several years, began when a score were shipped to "somewhere In Virginia

Alaska to Cape Horn), whereas on the Isthmus of Panama It was 504 feet. This is interesting because the Nicamugua canal may yet be dug to supplement forcommerclal purposes the facilities of the Panama ditch. The route would be 334 miles shorter from New York to San Francisco than by way of the Isthmus; and the canal would net cost more than one-third as much as that of Panama barring, however, the risen price of labor and materials. Looking at the map, one sees that Nicaragua is wide compared with the Isthmus of Panama. Put ' also one observes that much of Its narrowest part Is occupied by an Immense lake, 100 miles long and 4fi miles broad, out of which a large river, called the San Juan, runs eastward all the way of the Caribbean sea. A strip only 12 miles wide separates the lake from the Pacific ocean ; three-fourths of the river's length is navigable, and thus, as It might be said, most' of the digging has already been done by nature. There would be, as a matter of fact, about 4S miles of ditch to be dug; but nearly all of this is through lowlands,' and the job would be correspondingly easy. The distance across the Tehuan tepee neck is 125 miles as the crow tiles. Round the World -.Iii . lite n- &i maintain wireless communication between this country and our forces in France, since at that time there was grave fear that (German suhmarine might be able to cut the trans-oceanic cables and leave Pershing isolated so far as immediate communication with the United States was concerned. The station now completed is the largest In the world. It has eight S'JO-foot towers, and Its engineering features, while In general modeled on those of our naval stations at Arlington and Annapolis, are unique both In their magnitude and in some features of their design. The success of this station in transmission is exemplified by the fact that the audibility of Its signals, as measured at the naval radio laboratory In the bureau of standards. Is live times the audibility of the similar signals from the Uerninn radio station at Nauen. mal food was described by K. C. SIhtrard and O. W. lilanco. White sawdust, finely ground, Is treated with diluted sulphuric acid In a large boiler known as a digester, under steam pressure. This breaks up the fiber and extracts the sugar. To prevent Injurious' ffects, tho acid is neutralized by adding lime to produce chemical reaction. The liquid thus obtained, when boiled down, Is rich in sugar, and when mixed with the liber produces a moist feed containing about I-r per cent of water, In which form It is fed to dairy cows. At the forest products Ialxiratory, United States department of agriculture, Madison, Wis., experiments proved that three cows thrived on this sawdust ration and not only gave more milk, but Increased In weight. So says Uncle Sam. The result was so satisfactory that the government has decided to take the matter up on a larger scale at the experiment stations throughout the country and furnish a detailed report on tne value of hydrolyzed sawdust as cattle food. So says Uncle Sam. - So there you are. Probably milk. cream and butter, with a delicious sawdust flavor will soon be added to the II. C. L. Hitch Other Items THE recent demotion of ling. Gen. George Ihirrett from the rank of major general, commandant of the marine corps, and the fact that no action has been taken on his application for appointment as major general to fill a new existing vacancy. Is exciting lively comment In navy and marine corns circles. RUYEKS of stills, beware, or the government will get you. All buyers must swear that they will use stills only for water, and records of aU sales and resales will be krpt.
