KlUflT "SENATE WILL STOP ADVANCE IN POTASH Washington, June 27?After thoroughly investigating the efforts of ?ertain Western congressmen to fiace the price of potash at such a figure that it would be practically > prohibitive to Southern cotton growers, Senator Smith of South Carolina who under the Democratic regime in the senate was ranking member on ? ** ? on/1 Q Vie commaree vn agntuuuK, ? foremost authority on this subject, today gave out the following stateMeat: , mA bill has been introduced affecting the potash supply of this country and quite extensive hearings lave been had in reference to it. "I have canvassed the situation ltetty thoroughly and I think I am afe in saying that no such legislates will be enacted. I have had interviews with members of both parties in the senate and none of them seem disposed to be a party to putting any such monstrous, unwarranted burden upon the farmers of this ??smtry. I asked one of the Republican leaders which he desired to protect the great institution of farming apon which everything else rested or a few corporations who have sprung up under war conditions and who desire to be protected from loss while they are experimenting in producing something to be sold to the farmers aft such price as to be disastrous to She farmer and through him to the whole country. In a word, who did fee propose to protect, the institution span which the prosperity of the mfeole country rested or an institu testt whose prosperity only effected itfee promoters of the corporation. He said, he was in favor of protecting tbe agriculture interests of this countey "From the best source of information obtainable we ought to receive ioveign potash at practically pre-war prices and in unlimited quantities. A ixige part of the territory from witseli we receive foreign potash is now in the hands of our friends, the -.tEtes. "One of the arguments used for "Stir monstrous proposition was that xa case of war, without developing trarn resources for potash, we find, ourselves in the same con Hiaon we did in this war. Among other good things that the proposed leagne to enforce peace will bring about is the opportunity for the practical Mafteation of the erood old Democra tic doctrine of free trade. There can be an exchange amongst the nations f the tilings they can more readily produce without the threatened danger of war stopping such exchange and producing distress in that nation ?r among those nations dependent mpma other nations for certain arti"I think it is safe to say that all fertilizer ingredients will be treated mam as they have been treated under Kcptblican and Democratic adminisiuAions heretofore as articles to be fiited upon the free liat." U. S. Eats Little Mutton. ] ' 1a Great Britain about 22 percent all meat consumed is mutton. In Fiance the per cent is about 11. In G&uda it is not quite 7, and in the lNifeed States it is only 3 1-3 per ?es?. Last year (1918) the consumpflwe of dressed meat (lard excluded) m the United States averaged 150 ysonds per person of which only 5 wre mutton and lamb. The. British, the Canadians, and tte French?all similar types of people and having habits of life similar ^ 46 tnericans? use less meat than jAsez-icans do but a much larger proportion comes from sheep. The tlmied States gets its meat principally from cattle and hogs. Pork consumption is about 14 times, and fccef consumption about 13 times, as great as our use of mutton and lamb. FThcse are the annual averages for Jklj* year. JEALOUSY ENDS i PLOT OF GERMANS Berlin, Thursday, June 26.?The jfierman government headed by Phil* ** , -,J J 4-/v tvL SP tScneiaemaiui nau piamiw w A vJase to sign the peace treaty and to jpenmt the allies trooops to march into Germany as far as the Elbe, where it would be attacked by strong German forces, the Danzig correspond eirt of the Tageblatt declares in f ^dispatch describing the details of ? wrret plan to create a separate state an northeastern Germany. The plai ' failed because of jealousies and dif- b ferences of opinion between the t government and the army leaders, f the correspondent says. * (A report from Geneva Thursday d night said Herr Scheidemann had ar- t rived in Switzerland after crossing^ the frontier on foot.) The last proposal made by the con- c spirators planning to oppose the al- a lies, it is said, was to ask Poland to c combine with Eastern Germany in 1 the formation of an independent republic. The offer, it is declared, i was rebuffed by the .Poles who asKea i why it had not been offered ten years 1 ago. 1 The correspondent says it was the i intention to cooperate with the'i * grand duke of Mecklenburg in the c establishment of either a republic or a non-president of East Prussia; . I * ;Herr Prussia and Posen. The plan, ' j he says, was favored by Adoplh vonj I Batocki, president of East Prussia ;j Herr Schnackenburg, president of I West Prussia and Herr von Buelow, ^ president of Posen. ^ Herr Wig, the national commis1 sioner for Posen and the two Prus-j sian provinces, the corespondent de- J ( clares, was to head the movement ^ !and was to be in charge of the mili-j ^ itary forces which are to make an immediate attack as soon as the ^ peace treaty was signed. | r i The plan was disclosed, it is added,1" when various generals interested had a conference with the government leaders at Weimar. General , Groener, at present the chief com-j vtonsioy if ic was the first to , I ? " > - ? it decide to abandon the plan. Mathias ^ (Erzberger hear of the German ar_| r jmistice commission and Merr Hoerc jsing, the commissioner for Upper Si-' j lesia, also were involved. Gustavj , Noske, the minister of defense, the , ! c , correspondent asserts, had a difficult . j time in persuading Erzberger to give j up the plan. The government it is ^ declared feared that Hoersing in-' , stead of operating against the Poles ^ jwith the troops under his command, would turn about and march on Beri O j lin in an attempt to reestablish the ^ j former emepror on the throne. I it : JAPANESE POLICY j PRODUCT OF COUNCIL!*! lfi lb Tokyo, May 16.?The policy recently adopted in military circles in Japan to work less independently F and more in harmony with the cabinet ministers as a whole is due to the determined intervention of the Advisory Council on Diplomatic Affairs v says the Tokyo newspaper Nichi n Nichi. This is the body of distin- a guished Japanese which was appointed two years ago by the emperor to ^ advise the cabinet on matters per- a taining to national policy and rela- n tions with foreign countries. The newspaper says that the diplo- ^ f matic council has used its influence c to restrain the army, especially in the n publication of reports bearing on di- ^ plomacy. It had been the custom of e the general staff of the Japanese ar- a my to issue reports concerning not only military affairs, but also on mat- a ters touching the diplomatic and po- ^ litical situation. This practice, n 13 understood, has very often embar- ^ rassed the foreign office. Some of n these military reports concerned the a 1 American army in Siberia. n In this connection it is to be re- p marked that the influence of the mil- n itary group in Japan is very powerful throughout the empire. Since the X npnpfftl I recent incuuijr ? Tanaka, the war minister, at a luncheon giveji in honor of Roland S. j Morris, the American ambassador, a I there has been a marked change in ^ i the tone of the Japanese press which c I now less frequently suspects Ameri- P | can motives as a world power, especiI ally in China and Siberia. 11 I * I DECLARES WOMEN MUST f RE-ESTABLISH INDUSTRY ^ ] P J Blue Ridge, N. C., June 29.?That * I the American women are helping to ^ ! establish the industry of America and the world is the belief of Dr. 11 Benjamin R. Andrews, Vice-Director * j of the Savings Division of the United ^ ; j States Treasury, who delivered an a .' address before a meeting of the * J American Home Economics Associa- s ,! tion here. The meeting was largely I .! attended by representatives from 1 . all over the United States. v .; "We must lend at least $3,000,- T . 000,000 to Europe in the next few * i' years," declared Dr. Andrews, "and t I this must come out of the savings of 1 ?'the American people. There is no s i question in my mind about who will ] I ie the savers, and I am confident hat a large part of the burden will all on the American women in the is c tomes. It is the American women ^ vho will be looked to to place indusry back on a firm and substantial int< as is.

The number of cattle to J )e supplied will depend upon the ibility of American dairymen to fur-( lish sufficiently good animals at the, irices the commission is prepared to >ffer. Probably 3,000 Cattle First Month. The department has received notiication that probably 3,000 cows and leifers will be purchased the first nonth, and the number will be inreased if the animals are satisfacory. This is the second purchase of, lairy cattle for the devastated reg-! ons of France; the first, last April, onsisted principally of 104 pure-! red and grade cows and 4 pure-bred j ulls purchased by the French Highj Commission. That importation by Vance was in the nature of a trial rder. Those cattle and the others fhich -will be obtained are to be used s foundation herds for the devas-j ated sections of France. Two per' ent of the total shipments, as speci-| ed by the French officials, are to be j I una. IND REGULAR GOLD MINE IN THIS YARD Washington, June 21?.?Secret serice agents of the treasury departlent are said to have struck a veritble gold mine here in prospecting in tie back yard of Charles H.

RAISING HEALTHY CHICKENS. To be successful in raising chickns it is necessary to have healthy nd vigorous breeding stock, for the ick of vigor in the newly hatched hicks is often .traceable to weak arents. Only the most vigorous and he best grown birds should be put i the breeding yards. Each bird hould be full of life and energy and ree from any serious deformity.! rearling hens are usually better than ullets for breeders, for the reason hat the hens are more mature andj o not lay so many eggs during the, arly winter, and consequently doiot reduce their vitality so much be- j ore the breeding season. Vigorous, lens 2 to 4 years old can often be | j T-otainpd in the breed! - v ? ng yard. The male bird chosen j hould be young and active. An ear-; y hatched well-developed cockerel) s usually satisfactory, or a good rigorous yearling or 2-year-old cock nay be chosen. The hens used for >reeding purposes should be given; ,he best care possible; they should ye provided with large, runs, and should not be forced for heavy egg production during the early winter, Tomatoes. so wi [*he home grown crop of tomatoes :oming in pretty lively these days [ the frantic question, "What shall onnnAti9" id oknnf +A IVA I ^ avc ivi ouyyyi io ouuuk w 5V > the discard. a 1 Sti TURK BEAUTY A MYTH. sa El rurkish women generally have .ndoned the veil, say3 William T. mi is, the newspaper correspondent as [ globe trotter, writing in the New ch :k Herald, and great is the disillu- sa iment Mr. Ellis describes as the W uel to the unveiling.
