especially popular in the central por-
tions of the United States. In the
arid and semiarid sections a type with
sod or dirt roof is in most general
use. AS a rule, the excavation for
the cheaper structures of the dug
out pit or cellar type when erected
on level or nearly level land does not
exceed three feet. The soil removed
from such an excavation, particularly
II the dugout is of any considerable
size, is ample for banking the side
and end walls and also for the roof.
The cost of construction may be
greatly modified. according to the
character of the location.
In the cheaper dugouts, where the
soil is of such a nature as to remain
intact, it is allowed to form the side
and end walls, the roof being sup
ported on plates resting on the soil
and held together by boards or joists.
This form of construction involves a
deeper excavation and a constant ele-
ment of risk from a cave-in. In the
more expensive and substantial struc-
lures the side and end walls are buIi;
of concrete.
Insulated Structures
Insulated frame potato storage
houses are not used very extensively.
AS a rule they are better adapted 10
southern than to northern climatic
conditions. The construction feature
OF such houses is the thorough insu-
lation of their walls, ceiling, doors
and windows. This type of storage
house is not to be recommended for
northern locations, nor is 1t advocated
for, the south except where poor
drainage conditions will not permit
the use of the dugout or cellar styIs
of house. 1t is not recommended, be-
cause 1t cannot be so economically
nor does it furnish as
good a type of storage as the prop
erly ventilated cellar storage house.
ArOOstOok Type
The Aroostook type of storage
house, with concrete or masonry
basement walls and wooden super
structure, seems to be distinctly a
product of Maine, and so far as has
been observed is not found to any
sxtent outside of the state. 1t is an
constructed house and is
almost always located on side-hill

Dr. knoll in order that advantage may
be taken of ground-level entrance.
That such houses have proved salts
factory to the potato grower in
Maine is evident from the fact that
practically no other style of potato
house is in use in that state.
ArtihcialIy Refrigerated
The artificially refrigerated potato
storage house is as yet hardly in ex-
istence. The present use of this type
of storage house is confined practi-
cally to the holding of northern
grown seed potatoes in cold storage
for second-crop planting in the south.

Rain Damaged Local
Wheat Crop Is Belief

D. Bailey Brandt, of the Paxton
Flour and Feed Company, this morn
ing said that there is fear in the
farming districts in this vicinity that
the recent rainy weather has caused
considerable damage to this years
wheat crop. The amount of the
damage cannot be ascertained until
after the crop has been threshed.
This has also been delayed on ac-
count of the weather, which pre-
vented harvesting.

NO ENLISTMENTS

Owing almost to the steady stream
of announcements credited with coming
from the Washington government with
reference to the change in the draft
plans and the .selective service opera
ton, the average citizen is having diff
Guilty in understanding just what is ex-
pected.
A number of the young men who have
not been called for service under the
present plan are DESTROYS of knowing
whether they will have the same privi-
lege of enlisting in some military SER
vice before being called for examina-
ton as has been the custom during the
present system.

Scheme to Capture German.

And this was received by the COM
mander of the Department of the
East, a New York correspondent of
the Pittsburgh Dispatch writes: 81 am
enthusiastic over q scheme that has
entered my fertile brain to easily cap
ture thousands of German soldiers
without firing a round OF ammuni-
ton. If the war department does not
see fit to use this wonderful SUCCESS
ton, then the responsibility for the
continuance OF the war must rest on
the shoulders OF those who have re.
jected it. The scheme is a simple one
and is easily put into execution. Un"
der cover of darkness have the sol
diers strew the ground between op-
posing trenches with fly paper. When
the Germans come over the top to at
tack they will, OF course, get stuck
and will be easily captured. Can any
thing more practical or simple be-
imagined?'

war preparations. England and

have already armed themselves with
Thousands ofaireraft and are building
more aud adding them TO their fleets
every day.
When peace is finally declared the
nations viii find themselves with
thousands of airplanes on their hands,
perhaps n hundred thousand would be
available. Most of these machines
will be the small, swift scout ma
chimes, but there VIII be many of the
two passenger and three passenger
type and even larger.
Though il may yet be too early for
an answer nevertheless the question
naturely arises "What will be done
with all the airplanes? They will
certainly not be stored away in ARISEN
ais ia preparation for the next great
war, for atrplanes are beng improved
more sapidIy titan the automobile
was and before the next great can
tiict Diet us hope it will be many
years. the improvements will be so
great that the present day machines
will be as useless as the one cylinder
automobile would be today.
The national advisory committee
for a%eronautics, though q special
committee on civil transport, has I'M
dertaIen the consideration of what
application of these air craft may be
made to civil purposes. The new
committee Will %supercede the COM
mittee on aerial mail service and will
have broader powers. Ii will cooper
ate with similar organizations of 9TH
or countries and will depose itself~par-
ticularly to problems connected with
the utilization of military airplanes
after the war. Whether an aerial
mail service will be found the most
practical use for these war machines
it is impossible to say, Neverless we
may be assured that out OF the war
and the wars perfection of aircraft
there is going to come eve a greater
good than from the wars impression
on economic principles In Industry.

GIVING FARMS TO SOLDIERS

Senator Warren G.. Harding OF Ohio,
has suggested that at the close of the
war every American soldier be given a
farm. The suggestion is evidently
made on the senator's recollection of
the governments liberality at the close
| of the Civil war, but without regard to
changed conditions.
In the days which followed Appomat-
tax there was more land vacant in the
| United States than was occupied. West
of the Mississippi river the plains
stretched in unbroken splendor, clean
of occupation by the white man, except
here or there an occasional hardy one
defying the Indian. 1t was easy then
for the government to give every SOL
der who wanted a farm. 1t could have
given every MAJ who served the cause
a township and not have run out of
available fertile and cultivable land.
Today the government measures its
land by acres where once it used square
miles. There remains some tiilable
land not broken to plow, but it is chief
ly on the Indian reservations. Most of
the governments open lands now are
in the sage brush states of the west
where irrigation is necessary for crops
and in v~icinities where the cost of
bringing water to the land would be
nonro TL,r, Iba l,rl 10 r@rtL
The farms of the United States today
are numbered. There are, according
to the last census, 6 1851, SOP farms with
in our borders. If the war lasts a year
military experts declare America will
have 5000, 900 men under arms. 70
give every one of these men a farm it
would be necessary to drive half the
present owners off their land. Nor has
the government any assurance that
every one of those soldiers will want a
farm. A farm would suit some of them
no more than a silk hat.
If Senator Harding will amend his
suggestion to include a farm to the
men who want farms it will be more
reasonable. The government intends
soone or later, to bring all the avail
able land of the west under irrigation.
When that has been done there will be
enough land to furnish a farm for every
soldier who wants one and who will.
under stipulation, work it.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PApER
MILITARY LANGUAGE

The war has brought into common
use so many new words without eX
planning their meanings that the war
dispatches are to many people en-
tirely unintelligible. The war cor
respondents have come to use these
words as familiarly as any in their
vocabulary and would be greatly
surprised If anyone should suggest
they use simpler forms. An instance
of this failure to understand what has
come to be one of the commonest
terms Of the war ls found in a letter
written to an Iowa paper asking:
evil you kindly explain through
the column Of the paper just what is
meant by barrage fire, as used by
Germans?"
A barrage fire is literally a bar
ring fire, q fire of high explosive
shells which bars re~inforcements or
supplies from reaching the enemy,
1t is employed like this:
When on advance is planned on a
certain section of the line the artil-
lery begins preparation for that ad
vance by showering shells on the
trenches in that section, smashing
them up and d%emoralizing the defend
ers of those trenches, through which
the supplies of food and ANN milton
are brought to the defenders, are
subjected to heavy fire to prevent
the supplies being brought forward.
After about three days OF this the
trenches are about reduced to moth
ingness, the barbed wire entangle-
ments are destroyed and the defend
ers, without food for three days, are
In no condition to make a valiant de-
Tense. Then the signal is given for
the infantry to 60 into action. The
artillery lifts it's fire to fall behind
the trenches extending from one end
of the sector attacked to the other.
The shells fall thick and fast along
this line, like stage rain from holes
bored in a straight pipe, creating u
veritable curtain of explosives
through which it ia impossible for
anyone to pass and live.
The Creeping b~arrage" is differ
emit from the ordinary barrage fire
only in that it moves forward instead
Of falling always on the same line
By almost microscopic adjustments
the elevation of the big guns is chang
ed with each shot SO that the succeed.
Ing shells fall farther and farther
away. The firing of the guns is timie
to the second and when all the guns
on q sector are firing their shell,
drop first along a line perhaps twenty
yards behind the enemy trenches
then move to thirty yards, fort,
yards, fifty yards and continue t,
fall farther away each second. S,
numerous are the guns and SO rapi,
the fire that, observing the explosiol
OF the shells as they strike the groun,
IL seems as though they fall in a con
tinuous rain that sweeps fdrwar
with cl0ck-like precision. Indeed til
creeping harrage fire has been pei
fected to such an extent by the allie
that the troops attacking behind
barrage move forward at a set spec
that keeps them always just out {
danger from the projectiles of thei
own artillery.
