WASHINGTON. d. c. April 6.-The
Democratic Secretary Of War will not
tolerate the exclusive" clubs which
have sprung up among the officers de-
tailed at various army posts and bar
racks through the United States. and
in an order, issued through the chief
OF stan. Gen J. Franklin Bell. Mr..
Dickinson has sounded the death
knell Of these organizations. The Gus
tom has grown up az a number OF
army posts throughout the country.
but particularly in the Department Of
the East, OF establishing exclusive
clubs formed entirely OF officers OF a
single organization. or Of equal rank.
equal wealth. or equal social position.
For instance. at Fort MyeT. where
both cavalry and artillery are station
ed, the officers OF the former main
tanned a club and the officers OF the
artillery were held not eligible for
membership. Those officers who
worked their way up from the ranks
and had not the good fortune To be
appointed from West Point were sci
dom. II ever. taken into these Eek
elusive" clubs. Secretary Dickinson
believes that the purpose OF army
clubs is To foster a feeling of comrade-
ship between officers Of all branches
of the service. and believes that these
particular kind OF clubs have operated
against this fundamental principle.

GOATS USEFUL
BRUSH EATERS


The frustrating instinct Of the An
CORA goat is being successfully demon
strated on the Lassen national forest
In California. where they are cutting
trails for fire guards through the
brushy areas on the slopes Of the
mountains.
The animals. which number 5000.
have been divided into two bands. and
under the care Of the kerders are
grased within certain well-de6ned
areas so that their work may be con-
centrated on the brush within those
limits. The result is that they have
practically killed nearly all the brush
in the course either by eating 1t up
entirely. or by barking. as In the case
Of the heavy manzanita bushes. At
the beginning of the experiment there
was some doubt as to the goats will
ingness to eat the manzanita. but Il
has been found that where there Is
little else they will just as readily At
tack it as any other bushes.
The grazing season was SO late this
year on the Lassen forest that the
goats did not begin operations until
about the middle of June. but since
then they have made rapid progress
and the result promises to be q sue
cess from every point OF view. The
trails will first be opened and then
kept free of sprouts by the goats. saw
ing the government considerable labor
in cutting them out by hand. as has
been done heretofore. while the
brushy forage which otherwise would
have been wasted will support 5000
goats very comfortably.

Celery. which in It's native state Is q

While 1t may be grown on any we'll

give best results for the following rea-
sons: First. the quality Of celery Is
superior to that grown on any other
type Of soil; second. the texture OF
the celery is firmer than that grown
on muck soils. and therefore the ship
ping quality Is better; third. when
celery Is grown on either clay or

the soil Is wet. Celery that is grown
on sandy soil can be harvested sew
eral days earlier after a wet season
than that grown on a clay or muck
one considers how much It might
mean to the grower to have his crop
delayed q few days In reaching the
market and how seriously he might
injure his soil by harvesting while the
land Is too wet. While this applies
to any method of growing celery. It is
especially true when the celery is
blanched by banking with soil.
Celery Is transplanted to the field
during the summer months. when 1t
is very hot and the soil usually dry.
