WILL PROBABLY VISIT
 THE GRAVE OF UNCAS
Indians With Wild West Show invaria. bIy Carry Gut That FornaIity- Major Burke Discusses Mexican Trouble.


 Major John M. Burke, advance man of the Buffalo Bill show, was in town
 Thursday and in the discussion con corning the coming of this wild west
 circus he referred to the fact that the
 Indians on this, as well as on the previous trips to this city, would prob ably make a visit to the grave of 1 Uncas.
 Major Burke is an old Indian fighter and he, of course, is much interested in the Mexican situation and stated that the show had a recruiting tent on the grounds in each city it visits with a sergeant in charge and the average number of daily enlistments thus faT has been 23.
 Major Burke, who as an old Indian fighter met the men now heading this cOuntry's military activities when they were ieutenants, forgot the show busi-
 ness long enouIh to give a, few ideas as to what should be done in Mexico GO slowly" he said emphaticaIIy,
 but keep agoing. The men at the head of our military activities today have 1 the best mental, physical and eXperi- | enCe training in the world, and if the | paCifists, faddists and impractical pOi- l ticians will give them the reinS today | they can and will handle the Mexican l affair properly and efficiently. We should calmly and COOIly handle | the situation. I believe in not risking
 anything until you hold all four aces | This country, with it's 100 00O, 900 peo- | pie, it's great wealth and resources will enable us to handle the situation l efficiently.
 'We are not prepared. That is the l simple fact. But we have such re- | sources that all we need is a unanimity | of sentiment and direction of action 1 The people in Mexico, the mass of 1 them, do not know what they are do | ing. They are controlled by a lot of traitors, wanton bandits and they are
 the ones to be eliminated.
 If we send plenty of men to the Rio Grande to guard the borders plen-
 toy of machine guns, and then take plenty of time to get our good but i green material in condition, we can then relieve the regulars from guard | duty. With both coasts blockaded, we will hold the situation, and inside of | four months can settle matters, either through some peaceful means or starve | them out Carranza and the other hot heads would at the end of that time not be in any positto nto control the

PAYS TO SPRAY
 POTATOES FOR BLIGHT.
County Agent Says All Farmers Spray
 and Find 1t Profitable.

County Agent F. c. Warner has sent to the members of the county potato clubs copies of the following letter prepared by W. L. Slate Jr., of the agronony department, Connec- tiCut Agricultural college:
 Many careful experiments show that ; it pays to spray patotoes for blight as . we'll as for bugs. All progressive farmers spray and find 1t profitable. You, as a good potato grower, of course expect to spray.
 If you can get bIuestone Copper sulfate), make youT own bordeaux mixture as follows: Dissolve one pound of bluestone in a pail full of water. 1t will dissolve more quickly if put in a, coarse bag and hung in the water. Slack one pound of fresh lime and dilute with pail of water. Pour these together in @ tub or barrel and add enough water to make ten gallons. This makes bordeaux mixture of the standard strength and should be enough to cover your plot once.
 Be sure to strain through cheese cloth when you fill the sprayer. The spray nozzle will clog if you do not.
 It may not be possible to obtain the bluestOne. It is very scarce, due to the war. In such a case, get a ready made spray and use according to di- rections.
 For the potato beetles (bugs) either paris green or arsenate of lead may be used. To each ten gallons of bor- deauN add One-quarter pound of paris green or three-quarters pound of ar senate of lead paste. If you use paris green, add a little lime to prevent burning. Tn either case, stir up in a little water and pour into the spray mixture.
 Make the first application when the vines are eight to ten inches high. You will probably need the poison the combinations peat often enough to keep the vines covered. This means five to eight times, depending on the rains.
 Try to apply the spray in a fine mist and cover the entire plant. Keep

"lt is natural to toe in, not far in,

spring of the foot comes from all the
small bones OF the front part of the
foot. In addition, the leverage that
raises the body for the next step with
the other foot is shorter when It comes
from all the toes than when It comes
from the great toe alone. The small
bones and toes have more spring In
them for their size than the large toe
has. When one toes out he is trying
to walk on the inner side of the foot.
"Why does toeing out cause trou-

MILITARY SERVICE BILL
Details Of Plan to Go to Congress Are
Announced.

Details of a new universal mill
tary training and service bin 10. be
presented to Congress soon became
known at Washington Wednesday. 1t
provides that all male citizens shall
enlist tor six months military camp
training during the calendar year in
which they become is years of age ana
thereafter shall be discharged into the
reserve. in time Of war these trained
men might be called into active sery-
ice by classes OF years, the youngest
first.
The bill was drawn by Capt. George
Van Horn Mosely of the general staff
of the army acting unotlicially in be-
half of national defense organizations.
1t will be proposed as a substitute for
the pending Chamberlain universal
training bill which provides for short
periods of varied training extending
over 10 years, between the ages OF IL
and %. A vigorous campaign will be
made for passage of the measure at
this session of Congress, it is said.
Under the proposed legislation, one
months credit on the six months com
pulsory service would be allowed for
each year of military work in recog-
nized institutions, with a limit of four
months credit. The president would
be empowered to suspend the organ
ization of any number of regular army
units, and to assign their officers to
the training camps. This would effect
economy, it is argued by permitting
a reduction of the standing army with
out reducing the force available in case
OF war.
A system Of penalties would be pro
yided for employers of men above the
age of is who had not passed through
the training. Persons not complying
also would be barred from holding any
position under the federal government
and in case they leave the country &c
escape service would be required tC
fulfill the obligation on their return. Nc
pay would be allowed for the training
period, but the government would pay
lall expenses. II called into active sery
ice later, the men would receive reg
ular army pay.
