Moyln9 An Army

When We have an army oil a
million, if it become necessary TO
move all of them. it would m axe
quite a job for the railroads of the
country extensive and as well or
ganized as they are, The American
Railway Association says that to
move one field army of 800, 600
men consisting of three infantry
divisions, one cavalry division and
a brigade, technically known as a
brigade of field army troops
troops auxiliary to the infantry and
cavalry requires a total
of 6.229 cars made up into 500
trains with as many locomotives.
These 1929 cars would be made up
of 2,ll5 passenger. 1856 baggage
|, 055 box. 1899 stock and IT'S flat

MANY BREAK RULES OF CASTE
Many Young Indians Seeking Eduea-
ton Break Edict Against Travel
ing Across Ocean.

Though going to foreign coun-
tries by crossing the ocean is to break
ones caste, hundreds of young In
dams are now visiting Europe and
America in pursuit of modern scien-
tific and industrial education. In
deed, so numerous are the families
affected that public opinion has conf
PEELED the Brahmans TO ordain no
loss of caste shall result from going
abroad for education. The step next
contemplated is to have merchants
and other business men exempted
from the ban. 1t is certain that IN
time all classes of travellers will be
exempted, says the Century Maya
zine.
1t is not so much the going abroad
that is objected to as the eating OF
forbidden food, as beef, pork and
chicken or any food cooked by for
eigners. To obviate partly this DIFF
ficulty the Hindus have just organ
lied a steamship line, the Indian
Peninsula company. between Bonn
bay and London. On board the ships
of this line Hindu caste rules are
studiously observed. This company
is soon to open a hotel in London for
the caste people of India, so that
Hindu students, merchants and trav-
elers may go to London, reside for
any length of time and still return
home without breaking their caste.

voLTAIRE's VIEW OF DREAMS
PHILOSOPHER Gave Much Credenee 70
Mental Workings OF Man
During Sleep.

Voltaire, semipagan philosopher
as he was, gave more Importance TO
dreams than was to be thought prob
able in one so well endowed, observes
the Indianapolis News. dreams,
he said, appear to me to have been
the sensible origin of primitive
prophecy or prediction. Dreams
which have come to pass are always
predictions which no one can doubt
no account being taken of dreams
which are never fulfilled. How is II
that while the eyes see not, the ears
hear not, we, Notwithstanding, I'M
derstand in our dreams? In one OF
nv dreams l supped with NJ. lou
ron, who appeared to compose verses
and music, which he sang to US. 1
addressed these four lines to him IN
my dream:
"'Thy gentle accents, Touron, dear,
Sound most delightful to my ear!
With how much ease the verses roll,
Which flow, while singing, from thy
soulr"
"In another dream | recited the
first canto of the 'Henraide' quite
different from what it is. Yesterday
l dreamed that verses were reclted at
supper and that someone pretended
they were too witty. | replied that
verses were entertainments given to
the soul and that ornaments are nee
essary in entertainments. L have
therefore said things in my sleep
which l should have some difficulty
to say when awake; l have had
thoughts and reflections, in spite OF
myself and without the least yoiun-
tary operation on my own part. and
nevertheless combined my ideas with
sagacity and even with genius. We
should never be good philosophers
except when dreaming"

If Overflow Kills Corn, Replant

Frequently bottom lands IN MIS-
souri, are + lo0dd, during May ana
June and much Of the corn crop Is
lost. When floods occur as late as
the middle of June. the second
planting should be made with an
early maturing variety, such as one
Of the following. Iowa Silver Nine

in 80 days must be planted SUCH
variety will be one of the following
Pride of the North, Minnesota rs,

Any of these and possibly even
earlier ones may be obtained from
seedsmen in Iowa, Wisconsin, Mln-
nesota or the DakOtas. The farther
north the source of seed the earlier
the crop will mature i'll Missouri
The department of farm crops oil
the Missouri College of Agriculture
suggests that farmers who have
land subj ct to serious overllo"S
provide seed of one or more oil these
early varieties. Should the overflow
not come this year the seed Will

vide the best means of utilizing

Preserve Eggs For Winter

ohe half of the yearly egg crop
Is produced in March, April, Nav
and June. More eggs ale produced
'tlen than are consumed. Egg deal
efS put this surplus into storage and
and sell when production is light.
IL l., kempSter Of the Missouri Col
iese of Agriculture suggests that
the Consumer do likewise and store
enough Tor his own use. Cold stor-
aseIs the practical commercial way
10 preserve eggs but tor home use
other satisfactory methods can be
employed One of the most common
Is the water glass" method. Water
glass, or sodium siIicate is syrup
liquid which can be purchased at
drug stores Mix one gallon of this
with nine gallons of water which
mas been previously boiled. This
solution should be placed in some
contaIner such as stone crock or
jar. The eggs then be put in the
solution and used when desired.
They should be stored in a room
which is Cool and in which the air
is fresh and sweet. The jars should
be covered 10 keep the solution
clean and inspected occasionally to
see that evaporation has not ex-
posed the eggs. There should be
three inches of solution over the top
of the eggs.
In selecting eggs too great care
cannot be exercised. Only clean, I'M
washed, fresh. strone-shelled eggs
should be used. Infertile eggs are
better than those from a flock where
male birds are present. If possible
the eggs should be stored the day
they are laid, If this is impossible
they should be Candled and those
which show effects OF heat, incuba-
ton, or which have large air cells
should be discarded. Spring laid
eggs are better in quality and are
less likely to be bad than those pro-
duced in summer. One gallon Of
water glass will make enough solu-
ton for fifty dozen eggs.
Another method of preservative.
Such preparations close the pores
Of the egg SO that air and germs of
decay are excluded and evapOra-
ton is prevented. Some patience is
required to thoroly coat the egg but
this is repaid by the ease with
which the eggs can he handled, as
they can be stored in egg cases.
The cost of these preservativeS
is about one cent u dozen. If such
eggs are sold, they must be offered
as preserved EGGS.

Devastation by Troops
Of Kaiser.

PARIS, April 6.-In q tour of the
devastated regions of northern
France w. G. Sharp, the American
tion of the reports OF complete de
struction which he had read in the
Paris newspapers. He has just return
ed to Paris after a trip of 200 miles.
The ambassador makes II a rule &c
refuse Interviews, but owing to the
Importance of placing unbiased evi
dence before the American public and
because of the proofs already received
of the anxiety of Americans to aid
the many who are suffering from Ger.
man ruthlessness, he gave the follow.
ing statement:
at would be difficult to imagine g
scene OF greater desolstion than that
which meets the eye wherever the
lines. Except where allied troops are
to be seen among the ruins and except
for the long lines OF heavily laden
supply trucks in the highways and
knots OF laborers hastily improving
the bridges there are almost no signs
of life. The destruction of some OF
the larger towns like Roye, Ham and
Chauny is so complete that IL seems
incredible that II could all have been
accomplished in such a short time.
MANY of the more helpless villag-
ers are being cared for in places
which were not invaded. Those re-
naming exhibit a remarkable forti-
tude in the midst Of their severe
trials, a remarkable stoicism. They
are deeply grateful for their deliver
ance and appreciative of aIltthe relief
work that has been done in their be-
half.
"one would imagine that the entire
country had been suddenly depopu-
lated by a plague. For many miles
we drove along bleak roads without
seeing a single living thing. Along
many miles OF highway not a farm
house has been left standing, while
the beautiful trees, which had made
these thoroughfares such things of
beauty and the admiration of travel
ers, had been long ago, during the
enemy's occupation, sawed OF close
to the ground.
"Wlthout the shelter OF a roof above
their heads, with scarcely a fruit
orchard Outstanding, with agricul-
tural implements wherewith to till the
soil destroyed and with large fac
tories leveled to the ground, can
hardly conceive of a more hopeless or
deplorable future than that which.
for a long time to come, will confront
the liberated Inhabitants OF this un-
happy section OF France"
Mr.. Sharp intimated that offers and
suggestions had been received from
Washington with regard to the most
practical ways OF extending succor to
the afflicted residents. Reports receiv-
ed here indicate that the sympathy
of Americans has been awakened to a
remarkable extent. A Chicago man
who had given heavily to war chari-
ties has sent $4,000 for the relief OF
sufferers In the devastated regions.
