come up during your training. Grad
ually you will become highly skilled
in this form Of attack. Not only viii
your skill Increase but also your con-
fidenee. You will learn In time that
troops standing on the defensive be-
hind entrenchments seldom FIRE upon
an advancing enemy with steadiness
and accuracy. The greater determine
tion and energy you and your COM
rades show in the advance. the smaller
will be the chances. of your suffering
severely from the enemy's fire.
The advance Of a company In ex-
tended order il directed by commands
transmitted to the individual soldiers
chiefly by the use OF signals. since the
noise OF the firing makes Il impracti-
cable TO use the voice effectively.
Practice Fighting.
The problem OF each individual
soldier is TO obey the commands and
at the same time 70 use his own
judgment and skill in taking ad-
vantage OF cover as he advances.
IL is especially important that you
should obey at once any directions
that may be given 10 you as 20 re-
setting the sights on your rife and
that the rapidity Of your firing
should be controlled by the orders
Of your captain.
Going step beyond the extended
oder drill your company and regi-
ment will take part in field and
combat exercises, in which condi-
ditions and movements Of actual
warfare are reproduced as closely
as possible. Here you will put into
practice everything learned during
your previous drilling. You will
practice correct methods Of attack
ing and OF defending yourself both
with the rife and bayonet and with
other weapons now in use. Don't fail
TO enter into the spirit Of these ex-
erciseS with as much enthusiasm,
and intensity as il you were on
the actual battle field. Use your
imagination. See the enemy in front
or you and act precisely as YOU
would act IL the enemy were real.

LESSON NO. 21-EXTENDED-OR ORDER DRILL.

Extended-order drill will give your
squad It's FIRST lesson in the methods
Of advancing against enemy lines
actually used In present day warfare
You will first be shown how to de-
ploy as skirmishers. Moving at a run
you and the other men will place
yourself In one rank, the interval be-
tween men being about fifteen inches.
instead OF four inches as in close
order drill. This is the simplest form
of depioyment. which may be rough
ly defined as spreading out a body of
troops in thin open lines so that they
may more easily advance even in the
face Of enemy fire.
This means that you become TO a
greater extent an independent unit.
When pushing forward in skirmish
lines You must rely in part on your
own initiative and judgment.
The next step in extended-order
drill Is TO practice kneeling. lying
Gown, and advancing at a run.
Use of Cover.
One OF the most important features
OF this part OF your training will
consist OF learning to conceal your
self from the view Of the enemy by
taking advantage of hillocks. trees,
heaps Of earth, rocks, gullies. bitches.
cover that may be at hand. Your
object is to reach the enemy. The
more skillful you are I'm the use OF
cover the smaller chances Of your
being disabled during the attack.
But you are not 10 remain too long
in one place, no matter how well you
may be concealed. Your value as a
soldier depends on your ability TO ad-
vance from cover TO cover, always
selecting before you leave one place
the position you are going to occupy.
Learn that "a man running rapidly
toward an enemy furnishes a poor
target" Remember also that a man
lying fiat on the ground Is not easily
observed from the enemy's lines.
These are some OF the main points
TO keep in mind; many others will

Demand for Cord Wood this Winter.

All indications point to an extraordi-
nary demand for fire wood this coming
winter and probably also for the fol-
lowing winter. This is due to the in
crease in cost of coal and particularly
to the difficulty of securing it, especial
ly in the small towns, owing to the
shortage of cars. This difficulty is GER
tain to increase. The situation offers
splendid opportunity to farmers and
woodland owners generally to cut and
utilize trees killed by the Chestnut
Blight, tops and laps resulting from
numbering operations, as we'll as the
taking out of inferior trees in the ma
ture of trimmings and improvement cut
tings in the woodlands.
One on the great hinderances hereto
fore to the practice of good forest
management has been to find market
for this low grade material, and the
probable demand for fire wood seems
to offer solution. Wood cut during
July and August should be sufficiently
seasoned for marketing the latter part
of this winter, while dead sound wood
may be cut even later and will likely
find a profitable market.
Those who can cut wood for next
winters delivery would do well to make
arrangements with the local wood deal
ers or directly with consumers in the
towns so as to contract for the output
in advance.
The State Forester, Baltimore, Mary
land; will be glad to assist those who
are likely to have any quantity of wood
for sale and to give advice or find a
market for it. Upon application the
Forester will go over the woodlands of
anyone in the State, advise him on the
ground as to it's management, and
where Trimmings or improvement cut
tings are advised the Forester will
mark a sample acre or half-acre as a
guide in the works. This is done with
out charge except the actual travel ex-
penses.

Farmers can Win Fight on Hog
Cholera.

The control and eradication of Hog
Cholera is the Farmers fight, they are
the people that must suffer the losses
from an outbreak of the disease, and
until they enter the fight for their own
protection and the right to raise hogs
without the losses and dissappoint-
ments caused by hog cholera, they must
continue to suffer the consequences.
When we grasp the idea that hog
cholera is necessary that its spread is
the result of carelessness, Indifference
and gross negligence, when we resolve
that such conditions will not be tolerat-
ed, and that we will pull together to
relieve the community of these useless
and preventable losses, then, and not
until then, will wide spread outbreaks
of the disease become a thing of the
past.
We all know that the infection of
Hog Cholera can be harbered on a
place. We are equally certain that the
premises can be freed of the infection
by proper cleaning and disinfection.
We are positive that the infection
can be carried in various ways, from
one place to another or by care it can
be confined to one farm.
What better arguments can be adj
vanced that Hog Cholera is the result
of carelessness and negligence-For
Remember-''N Germs, No Cholera. -
A campaign for the control of this
dread disease is now being conducted in
Prince Georges County, and when
meetings are arranged for your locality,
duty demands that you attend and join
the movement to free and keep Prince

though it is probable that the cut Of
hardwoods has decreased within recent
years, it is equally true that the use of
the pines, particularly the scrub, has
shown a growing demand and cores
pondingly heavy cut. The use of scrub
pine for puIpwood began IN the county
about fifteen years ago, and has shown
a steady increase since. For slaves
also the pine has come to be widely
used, and to a lesser extent for railroad
ties, the latter usually receiving some
preservation treatment before use.
There are approximately 100 miles of
steam and electric lines in this county,
all of which help to make most of the
timbered regions easily accessible, as
we'll as furnishing excellent markets
for some of their forest products. The
wood-using industries of this county
are restricted to yards at Berwyn,
Capitol Heights, Hyattsville, Laurel,
Riverdale, and Upper Marlboro, with
planning mills at BerWyn and Riverdale,
all concerns depending upon the retail
trade Of their respective sections.
