Washington, April 13.—Presi dent Wilson, speaking at a Jeffer son day banquet of Democrats from all parts of the country here tonight, prayed that the United States would not be drawn into a quarrel not of its own choosing, but asked if the people were ready to go in where the interests of America were coincident with the interests of humanity, and have the courage to withdraw when the in terests of humanity had been con served. He was interrupted by cheers and shouts of “yes.” During his address the Presidest had mentioned the European war and the Mexican question, without intimating his plans in either of those problems. Why tRe Scarcity of Paper. Prom “The Progress of the World,’’ in the Amer ican Review of Reviews for April. A commodity even so indirectly related to the demands of war as paper is showing the prevailing tendencies to to such a degree as seriously to embarrass publishers. The higher price of paper stock and the difficulty of obtaining it at all in England was a chief factor in the discontinuance in March of the London Daily Standard, after a career of 60 years, for a consid erable portion of which it was the most important organ of the mid dle classes in England. In Ameri ca the demand for paper has been increasing for six months as a re sult of general business activity. At the same time, supplies used in its manufacture have been de creased by war conditions, and in some cases have almost been shut off. The supple of old rags is af fected by the cutting off of the im portations from the European peasantry and by the demand for the making of guncotton. The chemicals used in bleaching the pa per produced by sulphuric acid and alum are being devoured by the manufacturers of explosives, while importations of jute have fullen off until the price is doubled. An embargo has been placed on shipments of wood pulp from Nor way and Sweden, while Canada stopped access to her vast resour ces some time ago. The newspa per publisher is, indeed, hard hit by war conditions in many other items of supplies besides the basic one of paper stock. NOT ENOUGH CHILDRE|1 ever receive the proper balance of food to sufficiently nourish both body and brain during the growing period when nature’s demands are greater than in mature life. This is shown in so many pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds, and lack of ambition. For all such children we say with unmistakable earnestness: They need Scott’s Emulsion, and need it now. It possesses in concentrated form the verj’ food elements to enrich their blood. It changes weakness to strength; it makes them sturdy and strong. No alcohol. Scott & Bowne, Bloomfield, N. J.

TEST SEED CORN. Necessary to Determine Viability of Seed in Advance of Planting Season. [Prepartid by United States department olT agriculture.] Testing seed com for germination, always a profitable farm practice, is an absolute necessity this year in many sections, in a number of districts the last corn crop from which seed for the coming planting will be taJlten was late in maturing or so moist when harvest ed as to* call for special precautions. A high moisture content makes seed corn particularly susceptible to damage from freezing -or heating. Farmers in the sections where corn failed to rtpen nor mally who do not test their seed early enough to be able to replace their own bad seed with good seed secured from other sources will be taking an unnec essary risk. It is also especially im portant for holders of seed in such dis SPKGUTiai) SEED COBN. tricts to take unusual care during the remainder of the winter to protect it from freezing. While complete testing for germina tion should take place shortly before the seed is planted, the specialists of the department believe that it will be simple forehandedness for farmers who have any reason to be doubtful about the viability of their seed to make a preliminary germinating test with a few typical ears taken at ran dom from the rack. If these prelimi nary tests show that the seed is good the ovv'ner then can continue his pre cautions to guard it from weather dam age. If, however, this test with a few ears indicates that the seed is of low vitality the farmer should at once make further tests to satisfy himself as to whether his seed corn generally is good or bad. If a farmer finds his seed is bad he should take steps at once to meet the difi3culty. The purchase of seed should not be delayed till spring, especially wb^n so much corn in various sections has been damaged. The farmer should secure his seed from well known sources, buy it upon a germinating guaranty basis and get his seed or typical samples early enough to.make his own germinating tests. It is prob able this year that many farmers who have not followed the wise practice of selectuig enough special seed from good crops to last them in an emer gency for two or three years will have to buy seed. In buying seed farmers should try to secure corn of varieties known to prosper in their section. The safest seed would be that carefully se lected from good corn grown in the immediate neighborhood, but at any r^te effort should l>e made to obtain seed gi’own in districts where climate, soil and farming conditions in general are similar to those at home. If the farmer happens to have a stock of seed left over from the 1914 crop and doubts the seed saved from liis 1915 crop he would do well to test the older seed also and then use which ever shows the greater vitality. Seed loru if properly cared for will retain its vitality for several j’ears. Many farmers. /I^nowing this, always select au extra amount of seed from an un usually good harvest. Three persons were killed, one perhaps fatally injured and two others seriously hurt as the result of an explosion of 14,000 kegs of powder at the NeMours plant of the Dupont Powder company, eight miles from Bluefield, W. Va., Wednesday. The nlant was al most completely destroyed with a loss of about $100,000. A portable, telephone^ made of aluminum and weighing 2i pounds, the invention of a Forest officer, R. B.
