French Foreign Minister Praises America

By NATE EDWARDS

KCONOMY, Ind., Nov. 6. Fanners

are getting anxious to crib their corn, but are afraid It will not keep as It Is sappy and not fully matured. Here la a remedy given by Tot Cbanor, who commenced cribbing corn Monday morning. He said: "I never have any corn to mold or rot, for I use tile in my corn cribs as air chambers and drainago. Start with the tile at the floor and. build up as the crib Is filled up and the tile must stick up above the top of the corn. I have used that method for twenty years and that is why J am not afraid to crib corn even if it djjes seem too .wet." Other farmers have used pieces of rails thrown In the cribs with corn with good results.... Harry Macy will have a big stock sale Saturday, October 12, at his West River farm.

A Stylish Dress For After-J

neon or Business.

The article of which m translation appear below was contributed a short time ago to Le Matin of Paris by M. Louie Earthou, just appointed minister of foreign affairs In the French cabinet, to succeed M. Rlbot. The world has sprung to Its feet to defend tha Right. . Who con doubt its triumph? Until now the French army, whose heroism has risen superior to all words of praise, has borne the brunt of the sacred struggle. Now the hour has struck for the allies of France to play their part. Tenacious, patient, and powerfully organized, England is accomplishing, with magnificent spirit a splendid task. And now, In her turn, America comes to the fore. President Wilson has stated her object and the role which she is to play. From these she win not be turned aside. I know how valuable are official promises and I applaud the moving and strong speeches that go with them and swell their echoes. But, in order to penetrate the soul of a nation and in order, if I may be permitted the expressions to take a nation's measure, I attach no less value to private manifestations whose, spontaneity and sincerity give evidence of the innermost feelings. Of course I have before my eyes one that is conclusive proof. It is a letter that was not meant for publication, written "six weeks ago by a prominent agriculturist of the state of Nebraska, to a French friend. Its tone is both familiar and energetic, showing a seasoned and resalute will which does not speak for itself alone. Previous to the 6th of April its writer favored American intervention in the war: "I was convinced," he said, "that you were fighting your own battles." But he was aware that the support of public opinion, clarified and influenced by events, should precede the declaration of war. It would have been mad imprudence, running the risk of recoiling upon itself to hurl into the bloody melee a nation of more than

i vs,u ?:v vh

one hundred million Inhabitants, to whom sacrifice would not appear to be the necessary form of a supreme duty. But now public opinion has been formed and everybody realizes that the interests of America are identical with those of the allies. "Now we are unanimously ready to back the war to the uttermost limit of our strength," continues the letter writer. "Now we are in it with all our energy and we are going to use every dollar of the resources of our great land and the efforts of every man and woman capable of doing anything to help along the war. - "Fear nothing now; we are coming with our ships and our food and our soldiers, our engineers, and our transportation experts, and out nurses and surgeons.

- "We are coming, not by hundreds of thousands strong, as we sang in 1S60, when Lincoln called for soldiers, but millions strong. " You can count on us, American is coming. : Moreover, throughout our country, in every -community, w& are organizing to help take charge of the orphans and sufferers in all your beloved country land which rose up so bravely and firmly between the Prussian . hordes and your homes, as well as ours. "I never saw anything like it. Our whole ' country Is aflame. Everywhere you find effort and determination.. Patriotism speaks from every rostrum and every professional chair. "Too long we left your country and those of the other allies to bear the whole Bhock alone. Now we are shulder to shoulder with you, and as I said, every dollar of our resources, all our inventive genius, every man and woman, are at the service of your great cause. We will go and fight beside you; we will bleed and die with you. "The cause Is the cause of Humanity.": Thus we see how President Wilson's slogan has been heard, understood and followed from one end of the United States to the other; The Americans have entered the struggle with a full consciousness, of its significance. Resolved upon any sacrifice, they will not desert the holy cause which they have espoused with a courage from which the best of results may be expected. They know what, they are doing, and why they are doing it. This mature and sure strength will transform the war without changing anything in its essential aims which are bound up with the destinies of humanity. The nobility of the . allies consistes in desiring nothing incompatible with right. Right alone has placed arms in their hands. When one Is fighting both for life and honor, one stops only when victory has been won. Victory is coming. We have deserved it. 4 Now let us have the patient will to await it.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 6. Because of the inability of the sock shop to secure yarn, operations' of this important section of the Indiana State Council of Defense have been temporarily discontinued. Should these in charge be able to refinance the shop, it may be re-opened in January. Its record, during the few months of its operation, is one of the remarkable achievements of Indiana's war preparation. The Sock shop, under the chairmanship of Miss Mary Helen Boyd, of Indianapolis, set out to knit 4,000 pairs of socks for the Indiana men who were called into service. Centers were organized over the state and it was soon apparent that -the quota would be supplied before September 1, the date set for the completion cf the task. How

ever the knitting continued with the

result that at the cessation of operations there was not only a very comfortable surplus of knit socks, but the section had the satisfaction of having turned over to the Red Cross, for emergency use, 1,000 pairs of socks, imperfect in some slight detail, thus rendering them unfit for use by marching men. For these socks the Red Cross re

imbursed the section at the price of the wool, merely, and the money so obtained was used by the section to pay for more wool. In this way the Indiana women not only fulfilled their promise to the first Indiana regiment, but helped the Red Cross needs as well. The section now has 2,600 pairs of perfectly knit wool socks, which they are preparing to give to the next Indiana boys to go to the front. Financed altogether by voluntary contributions, the sock shop has effected a substantial saving to the federal government, and, and also has guaranteed foot comfprt to the thousands of Indiana soldiers now drilling in training camps and enroute to the firing line in France, where the rigors of a severe winter make the strong wool garments a most acceptable part of their equipment.

GOVERNMENT

RAISE WHEAT TEST

" CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Nov.. 6 According to a letter received Monday from the secretary of the Indiana Grain Dealers by J. S. Hazelrlgg, the president, Dr. Duvall of Washington, D. C, has intimated that the moisture test for wbeat will be put up to 14 percent, a great thing for the shippers and farmers of Indiana, and of the utmost importance to the Wayne county farmers. Mr. Hazelrigg and C. O. Hurst said that Wayne county had demonstrated that although, the wheat had gone 59 to 60 pounds, the grade was only No. 3 wheat, showing that it had been impossible to meet the government test of 13. Another important matter was received frcm the Indianapolis convention of grain dealers, namely that the government by fixing the minimum price of hogs at 15 M cents meant conservation of corn. Wayne county farmers are advised to wait until the corn has been dried by nature in the shock. The government price for corn is 51.55. As the best way to dry wheat is in the chaff, so the best way to dry corn is in the shock as other methods meant a loss of vitality. These instructions have been given out to Wayne county farmers.' H. T. Capler, farmer north of town, has turned his feeding hogs into ten acres of corn that were blown down.

He v has fifty acres of good corn that win go 60 bushels to the acre. He, in common with" many farmers in thi section, cannot get heip. Tha hog jcholera has been checked in this section. The vetjinaries ro.
