Matter Of Grave Concern.


How quickly or how slowly the people
Of the United States meet their obliga-
tons is said to be giving the business men
of the country the deepest concern. II
Russia should collapse: il the German
feet should come out from its base and
the British fleet should be overcome: II
the food situation should bring the allies
to their knees: II great reversals should
be met on the western front or IL the
submarine menace be not checked. the
United States might have to bear the
brunt Of the fighting on its own shores.
1t is to awaken the people of the
country to these possibilities that bust
ness men are urging the creation of
new publicity agency. 1t is pointed
out that the impossible has figured so
often in this war that the people OF
the United States ought to be aroused
forthwith The Germans should have
gone through at the Marine and cap
tured Paris and Calais The English
fleet should have annihilated the GER
man fleet at Jutland. The central now
ers should have been starved before
the last harvest But these things did
not happen. and business men Of the
United States are deeply anxious that
the people shall be awakened to the
fact that other things expected to han
pen may not happen.

To Handle Long-Range Guns.
1T is very generally known in the
service that the coast artillery will
handle the large mobile howitzers and

cording to Lieut. Pierce Burns, The
coast artillery is the only branch of
the army which has ever handled guns
larger than siX-inch in caliber, so it has
been selected as the branch to take the
large guns abroad
One thing is certain. and that is that
the coast artillery will never be used
on anything but heavy artillery either
here or abroad. Men trained on heavy
guns are scarce and valuable and their
training will he utilized in the best

A CAPTAIN OF THE coMM1ssARY

The county agents constitute Amer
lean agriculture first line of defense.
They are the men in the first line
trenches, zealously guarding the farm
er's interests and bringing to his at
tertion all that is of immediate prac-
teal value in our scientific teaching,
and fortifying this with results from
the experience of the most successful
hard headed practical farmers of each
county.
At a time like the present, when the
nation is engaged in great war where
in food production is of vital military
Importance, the value of the county
agent to the government can hardly be
over emphasized.
Since the United States became bel.
ligerent, the county agent has done
valiant war service In counties having
agents, it was possible during the past
summer to secure truly wonderful re-
suits, in quickly and adequately meet
my bltudt1Ohs III lUChL-
ing available seed stocks; in arranging
for farm credits for the purchase of
machinery and fertilizer; in supplying
tractor power, and in other forms Of
effective leadership, all contributing tc
a great increase in the production of
spring wheat, oats, corn, potatoes and
other food crops; and, finally in assist
ing in facilitating marketing.
Some of the most important battles
of this war will be won during 1918 in
the furrows and fields Of America. The
county agents will be the captains Of
the soldiers of the commissary who will
make those victories possible-Carl

PRESENT NEED IS
FOR MORE FIREMEN

For some time past the Central Navy
recruiting office for the states of Colo
rado and Wyoming, located at Denver,
has been permitted to enlist only a
comparatively small number of men
each month. A recent telegram from
the navy department at Washington
has instructed navy recruiting officers
to start in Immediately to make as
many enlistments as possible in all
authorized branches of the naval
service.
Men between twenty-one and thirty
five, who are physically strong, are
especially needed at the present time,
to enlist as firemen. Men for enlist.
ment in this rating are not required to
have previous experience in firing.
These men are needed Immediately to
man our transports that will carry our
troops to Europe. The navy needs
seven thousand mnn for this branch and
recruiting officers have received in
structions to enlist this number by De-
cember 10. The quota of men required
from Colorado and Wyoming by De-
eember Is is three hundred men.
If we fail to enlist these men we
will fail to transport our troops to the
war zone and we will fail to win the
war. This need of firemen for the
navy is the country's most pressing
need at the present time, and those
men who prefer the navy to other
branches of the service should volun.

GOOD BOY FARMERS
Many Sections Report Record
Crops Raised by Youngsters.
Seen as Excellent Method Of Display.
Ing Patriotism and Both Boys
and Girls Are Active.

There isn't any occasion to mourn,
hardly necessary to say again what
has been said SO many times, that
there are many ways to serve ones
country beside carrying gun, or help
ing to man ship, or driving an am
bulance. The men who are doing all
these things must be fed and so must
the families they leave at home. Why
isn't 1t great thing and patriotic
one to raise corn, vegetables, pigs and
calves?
In Wisconsin there are $4,000 boys
and girls organized into clubs-corn
clubs, canning clubs, potato clubs, gar
den clubs-because it is easier to work
hard If one learns from watching
somebody else.
One Wisconsin boy, Heron Block Of
Rochester, has been working for four
years to secure the best possible seed
corn, and after he had raised 1877 BUSH
els to the acre in 1918 he took charge
of all the corn on his fathers farm
and saved $1,000 ears Of high-grade
corn for seed the following year. He
has carried off ever so many prizes,
but the best thing about his work is
that it helps along the cause Of better
farming.
George Ferris Of Little Suamico,
Wis.,. did even better, for he raised 169
bushels to the acre, and he also Is
handling seed corn for his father.
In the South there are two boys who
have held, not merely state champion
ships, nor even a United States record,
but world championships. One Of
them, South Carolina boy, raised 228
bushels Of corn to the acre and he
kept his honors for several years until
an Alabama boy. who Is still holding
the world championship in corn grow
ing, went past him with record Of
2S2 bushels. When one remembers
that corn Is the most important single
crop we raise in the United States
and that 80 bushels to the acre was
considered fair yield not many years
ago, one realizes what these lads have
done for their country. And they set
an example and provided seed SO that
others might follow it before they were
sixteen years Of age.
But here is a stofy even better than
the others, for we are more interested
in gardens right now than we are in
corn. It Is about a southern boy gain

AND PULLMAN
co. COOPERATE WITH U, 8

Washington, Nov. A.-Troop move
ment figures to date indicate that the
railroads of this country have safely
transported approximately; 1,5OO, 900
soldiers to training camps and embarka-
tion points since August first. Five
hundred thousand of these men have
made journeys, necessitating overnight
travel, and have been moved in tour
ist or standard sleepers furnished by
the Pullman company. In one of the
long hauls, 5000 men were moved from
a training camp on the western coast
to point on the eastern coast, dis
tance of 3,700 miles, in a little less
than a week. The men travelled in six
teen sections, each section comprising
twelve tourist cars and two baggage
cars.
In order to centralize the furnishing
of sleeping cars at points most conven-
lent to the government, and to utilize
these cars to best advantage the Pull
man company changed the supervision
of the supply and movement of these
cars fror, the headquarters of the COM
pny at Chicago to Washington, where
they stationed Mr.. C. W. Henry, assist
ant to the superintendent of car serv-
ice. Mr.. Henry, in his headquarters at
the offices of the Railroads War Board,
has been in daily touch with the office
of the quartermaster general, and on
receipt of requests from the military
authorities for sleeping car equipment
has seen that the cars were rushed to
the points needed. AS result of this
cooperation between the government,
the railroads and the Pullman company,
half million soldiers have been
spared the discomfirts of making long
train trips in day coaches.
To assure the safety of the men in
transit, the railroads have adopted an
average speed of 25 miles an hour
for all trains, except when freight cars
needed for the transportation of equip
ment are included in the trains; the
speed is then reduced to twenty miles
an hour.
