WASHINGTON, March 27. The
farmers of America were appealed
to by Secretary Houston today to Join
in agricultural DreDarednea.
o that the country may not be handi
capped by food shortag-e In lis efforts
to meet the International crisis. Elim
ination of waste, conservation of sur
plus, and attainment of maximum
crop returns were outlined as Impera
tive steps for strengthening agricult
ural resources.
"Both for economlo and patriotic
reasons" the secretary said In a form
al statement, "the Amerlran fnrmr
should strive this year for the highest
standard of efficiency In the produc-
uun ua conservation of food.
Food Is Neceaaarv. I
"Under the conditions in which
this country now finds itself, it Is im
portant that everything practical be
done to Increase the efficiency of
agricultural activities during the
coming season. It Is desirable that
throughout the country farmers con
fer among themselves on matters af
fecting the production of needed
crops and that thev commit friv
with county agents, state agricultural
cuiieges ana tne department of agrl
culture."
The secretary's appeal was part of
win lu-mpaie-n undertaken by the de
partment of agriculture to mobilize
tne country's agricultural resources
It urged particularly that proper at
tention be giver to the selection and
saieguarding of seed for planting,
tne preparation of the land, and the
cure 01 rne crop.
Ewy precaution Necessary,
under existing conditions," he
said, "every precaution should be
UMten tl tO reduce nrnrinctlnn nrftatan
by testing seed sufficiently In advance
to Insure against the planting of dead
seed; (I) to treat with disinfecting
uipa ui seea suDject to diseases that
can be prevented, such as the smuts
or wneat, barley, oats, and 'ye, the
losses from which are estimated con
servatively at toO.000,000 to $0,000,-
vvv in me average year: (I) to pre
pare especially thoroughly for plant
ing these' vitally Important cereal
crops and to care for them as may be
necessary during the season." '
Pointing out that seed stocks are
low. Secretary Houston suggested
that all seed-potatoes should be treat
ed for scab before planting and that
equipment for plant spraying should
be on hand- Preventable potato
diseases, he said, frequently reduce
the crop from flftr million o on.
nunarea million bushels.
The statements declare that fruits
and vegetables 'whlch ordinarily It
is inadvisable to attempt to conserve."
should be systematically saved now,
Canning, drying and preserving oper
ations, it added, should not be delay
ed until iate summer or autumn, and
family gardens should be planned to
supply ample quantities fit early ma
turing fruits and vegetables for pres
ervation, as well as fresh products
lor immeaiate consumption.
"Because ef the scarcity of tinplate
and the high prices of tin cans,"
Secretary Houston continued, "it may
jw onnmiry id nonsenoia preserva
tion of food more extensively to pack
iruii ana vexeiaoies in otner con
tainers."
He urged that plans be made to
meet the storage of sweet potatoes
in me souinern states, pointing eut
that about ten million bushels or the
usual crop of fifty million bushels
goes 10 waste mrougn decav.
The secretary suggested the preser
vation by drying for soun stock nf

IXJiNDO.V, Monday. March Id, (De
layed by censor) (From a staff
correspondent of the Associated
Press) The St. LouIh, the first pas
senger vessel carryuiR the American
flag to cross the Atluntlc since Qer
man's declaration- of unrestricted
submarine destruction, and the first
armed American Hnrr to enter a
European port since the war begAn
arrived this morning. She carried
only thirty-three PfiHsengers, but her
holds were filled tn capacity with
non-contraband freight.
No Submarine Sighted.
The St. Louis came through with
out interruption. No submarines were
sighted, nor were there at any time
any Indications thnt Herman under
sea boats were after the big liner.
But signs of war were not lacking
and the last three days aboard were
anxious ones for pasuengers and crew
alike. On Friday ami again on Sat
urday after the St. i,ouU entered the
forbidden sone, drjftwood was passed
apparently parts of destroyed life
boats. Yesterday a great field of oil
was encountered. Vague rumors of
the sinking of ships either ahead of
or near the St. Louis Increased the
nervous tension.
For three days and ntg-hts the can
taln did not leave the bridge and
never In her twenty-two years of ex
istence has the American ship been
driven so furiously an she was from
the time she passed into the lone un
til she was picked up by a pilot.
The Journey was virtually without
Incident until the war cone was
reached. Unusual precautions were
taken as soon as the liner passed the
Ambrose light and as she neared the
danger point even the life rafts and
collapsible boats were made ready for
Immediate use. Reflectors were
strung up fore and aft and carbide
lights were tied along the rails for
use In event the St. Louis became the
victim of a torpedo or gunfire.
"AH She Can Stand."
From the moment the 't. Louis En
tered the danger sone until she reach
ed comparatively safe waters the
wocd In the engine room was to "give
her all she can stand." For fortv.
eight hours the big vessel tore along
at top speed. Meanwhile the pas
sengers slept but little, remaining In
the reading room with life belts
ready. Long before daybreak y ester
day, with the land still far below th
nortzon, most passengers were on
deck, watching just as anxiously as
the men on the bridge for signs ef
hostile submarines. Then suddenly
out of the base shot Rritish patrol
vessels. Instructions were signalled
The St. Louis responded and con
tlnued her Journey, while the subma
rlne hunters bore away on thel
ceaseless vigil.
For two days after the ft. Louis
left port there was a howling gale
accompanied with fos and frequent
snOw squalls, but the liner held
steadily to Its course. Every nrecau
tlon was taken. ETven on the first
night out deck lights were shielded
and cabin port holes shaded, so that
no glimmer of light showed. Look
outs swept the horb-nn frequently
with their glesse. The passengers
were taken tn hand and drilled dally
In donning lifebelts end assembling
quickly at their appointed places at
the lifeboats. Crews for the lifeboats
were assigned to their stations and In
structed as to their duties. The life
boats were provisioned long before
the prohibited gone was reached and
were swung out oartly lowered and
lashed so that only a moment would
be lost In dropping them Into the
water.
Until Friday the trip was without
incident other than the encountering
of floating Ice, Including one huge
Icefberg. Two whales followed the
shin for some distance. From the
time the barred none was entered un
til . late last night, while the big
steamer was making her way over
the last few hundred miles of the
Journey, few passengers closed their
eyes.
No ceremonies marked the arrival
of the St Louis. On the docks were
the usual representatives of the
American line, the port authorities, a
mall group of friends snd relatives
of passengers and a few newspaper
men. As the liner was warned Into
her berth, workmen raised a cheer for
"The good old U- S. A."

Chalmers Lynite Pistons
An Evidence of Chalmers Quality
Chalmers pistons are mads
from one of the lightest and
highest-grade metals obtain
able Lynite, a special alloy of
aluminum.
Most cars use heavy cast
iron pistons. Much cheaper.
Much reduced efficiency.
A2K -Ounce Pistons
Chalmers pistons weigh
only twelve and a half ounces
each. About one-third the
weight of cast iron pistons.
Each one of these Chalmers
pistons is true to its die. All
pistons are exactly equal in
weight.
No greater variation than
24 -ounce is tolerated in any
of the reciprocating parts of
the Chalmers.
Importance of Lightness
A light piston insures
smoothness and power. Light
er pistons allow other motor
parts of corresponding light
ness. Lynite pistons' reduce
the strain on the bearings 160
pounds per square inch over
the cast iron piston.
The wonderful smoothness
of the Chalmers at all speeds
is largely due to the lightness
of the pistons. So also is the
motor's remarkable power.
t
Compression Power
Chalmers pistons axe pro
vided with three rings of
uniform tension, each three
sixteenths of an inch -wide.
This means better compres
sion more power.
Below the kwest ring there
are oil relief holes to prevent
any excess of oil from reach-.

ROJA BEANS HIGH.
NEWTON, March 17-r-The demand
for soja beans for planting has sent
the price to tS.eO a bushel. The bsan
is declared to be the greatest thing
ever Introduced in the county for
feeding purposes. One variety bears
so neavuy that In feeding It no corn
whatever Is needed. The other
variety commonly used runs more to
foliage than to bean, and it too la a
fin feed. Buyers here say that the
beans are very scarce by reason of
the fact that they have been canned
and shipped to the armies of Europe.
Platinum, which Is many times
more costly than gold, has grown so
in popularity among the buyers of
expensive jewelry that Its use in the
manufacture of electrical apparatus
Is growing smaller each year as less
costly substitutes are discovered-

Sayt Inside-bathing make any
ona look and feel clean,
awaet and refresh.
Wash yourself ew the Inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This Is vastly more Important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri
ties into the blood, causing Illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken Into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or suoked into the . blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should ruck only nourishment
to sustain the body.
A splendid l.ealth measure Is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water wKh a tea-
spoonful of limestone phosphate in It,
which is a harmless way to wash
thee poisons, gsses and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food Into
the stomach.
A Quarter pound of limestone phos
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on Inside-bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with a duiL aching head or
