 IS EXPLANATION

Washington, Sept. 7,-The use of the term "Sammies" to describe our troops is almost unknown in France, according to despatches received from the United States marines i'll the oversea expedition of the first to fight"
 How the term came into use is explained in this wise:
 When the first to fight" contin- gent steamed into port tho people on the wharf shouted "Vive les amis!"- pronounced "veev lays ahmee!" What this means is long live the (our) friends" but ''les amis" may sound a good deal like "les Sammies." and the newspaper men so interpreted it.
 Immediately the folks back home began calling our troops "Sammies, but the French have yet to acquire the habit.

RED CROSS WANTS i'PG6lIC TO KNOW
 HOW MONEY G0FS
Henry Davidson Authorizes Statement Concerning
 Finances of Society.

Washington. Sept. 7.-Henry p. war council, authorizes the following:
 "1t is the plan of the War council of the Red Cross to publish a state ment concerning it's finance and ad- ministration. and every detail which may be found to be Ot interest to the public will be made known. The fol- lowing facts concerning salaries paid by the Red Cross may prove of inter- est to the public.
 "One year ago, on a peace basis, with only about 200 chapters and a little over 100000 members, with an nual funds of only few hundred thousand dollars, the Red Cross cm- ployed at it's headquarters in Wash ington 75 paid officers and employees. of whom 29 received salaries of from $2,0O0 to $7,5OO.
 "Ot the present time, with the Red Cross on war footing. with 2,600 chapters to administer, 3,621 ,OOO mem bers and war fund of $100, ,000 pledged, Red Cros; national head quarters employs 624 paid officers and employees, of whom 46 are paid s2.0O a year or more.
 "In other words, since war was declared. 559 paid officers and em- ployes have been added to Red Cross headquarters' staff. and of that number 17 receive salaries of from $2.OOO to $6,0O0 year. The high clared is $6,0O0. The highest paid of ficial in the national organization re selves $7,50O, and he was on the staff on a peace basis.
 "Of those receiving less than $2,000 year, 49 now receive salaries of
 over a hundred dollars a month. There are 38 clerks being paid one ! hundred dollars monh, while clerks and messengers receiving less than $1OO number 491.
 "In addition to paid officers and em- i ployes in national headquarters, the number of full-time volunteers now contributing their services to the Red ' Cross is v. Practically al. the i'm l portant administrative positions sinco i war was declared are filled by vol ' unteers.
 During the last month, although 1 the number of Red Cross member; has increased from 2,547,412 to 3,621, oil. and the administrative work al
 national headquarters has increased substantially, the number Of paid cm
 ployes has decreased from TOT to 624 i This is partly to be accounted for by
 the decentralization of the work
 among thirteen territorial divisions { ,tnf9or new plan of organization i adopted by the War councol."

Successful Meeting Of
The Tomato Growers

The tomato growing meeting held in
Berlin on Tuesday was a success in every
way. About = people attended this
meeting, and all were very we'll pleased
with the manner in which Mr. Gilbert
Porter. County Agent OF Dorchester
handled the subject There were two
points which he made Of special note
First The necessity of sowing the
seeds as thnly as possible This will
give the plants room enough to develop
without thinning lie said il was a
good plan to sow the seed in rows about
four inches wide. and sufficiently far
apart to be easily worked in the man
ner chosen by the grower As soon az
the seed Is sown il should be covered
wllh about one half Of soil, on top of
which should be put about one inch Of
rotted sawdust This sawdust will tend
to keep the weeds down and at the same
time keep the soil loose and moist, so
that the young plants can get through
easily
Second The necessity of thorough
spraying to grow healthy vigorous
plants He advised the use Of com
bined spray, that would control the lea
beetle and keep the Young plants free
from blight The seedbed should Doe
sprayed four o. avc times before the
plants are taken out 10 put in the field.
For fuller information we suggest
that the growers get in touch with
