TABS INTENT UPON
 JUST PUNISHMENT
Threaten to Complain to Secre-
 tary Of War Baker

The Y. M. T. A. &S B. society held special meeting last night to take action on what they claim to be of- fensive remarks made to their mem bers by Cook Arthur Anderson of Company E, First Infantry, during recruiting rally in front of the club house on Tuesday evening. The meet ing was largely attended and the members voted to take all necessary steps, even to eXpending as much money as necessary, in order to have the alleged insults brought to the at- tention of the proper military of- f1cials. The members went so far as to threaten to take the matter to the attention of Secretary of War Newton D. Baker in case state officers give them no satisfaction in punishing the soldier.
 President Albert N. Volz appointed a special committee to prefer formal charges against Cook Anderson and, it is said. these will be presented to Lieutenant Ashley J. Griffin and if he fails to take action the attention of Adjutant General Cole or even Sec retary Baker will be called to the matter.
 Lieutenant Griffin left the city this
 
 late tonight or tomorrow, but before going he stated that he had received no official complaint from the "Tabs' Members of Company E, while not necessarily taking sides in the con- troversy, are inclined to believe that, the Tabs are making a great deal of trouble oyer an unimportant matter. They have stated that Cook Ander- sons statement yesterday that he regretted any personal affronts he may have caused and did not intend to be insulting should suffice. Re- garding the threat of the society to bring the matter to the attention of the secretary of war, military men state that the idea Is sufficiently ab- surb to be humorous. The idea of the secretary of war, burdened with the management of the entire army, paying any heed to petty argument between an individual soldier, who was not acting in any official ca pacity at the time of the alleged off, fense, and a society is regarded as prepostrous by army, men. , Because Company has already over 150 men attached to the com- mand, the regimental recruiting of1i- cers are not sending any more re- cruits to this company, although re- cruits from New Britain are still be- ing enlisted. Today two young men expressed a desire to enlist, but de- clined to enlist unless they could be assured that they would be assigned to Company E. They went to Hart ford to try and make satisfactory ar- rangements.
 Routine work of drilling continues at the camp in the park.

Mcn ,NlOre Men, IS CTy or Municipal
 Farm Committee-Great Slaughter Among Bugs Soon.
 Already number of men have pledged themselves to work one day week at the Municipal Farm in Stan ley Quarter it was reported at the man H. S. Tallard said that in many single instances men who had not even been approached had showed their Civic interest by voluntarily coming to the farm to work. More men are needed each day however, and if a sufficient number can be secured for the next week or ten days the call for volunteers will not be loud thereafter.
 Already a few potato bugs are manifesting themselves at the farm, but due to their early discovery there is no doubt that they will be extermi- mated before any damage is done, the committee believes. Already the SUD- ply of germ exterminator has arrived and the big spraying machine is ex- pected daily.
 George M. Landers. chairman of the state food commission, has promised to get the machinery of his office at work immediately to hustle the shipment of the sprayer, which left Elmira, N. Y., on June 20 and if he is unable to obtain satisfaction the matter will be taken up with the gov ernmental authorities at Washington. through the office of H. C. Hoover, as it is imperative that these farming inn plements arrive at once.

CARE OF HORSE
IN HOT WEATHER


In hot weather the horse should be
given special attention. The horse
when sweating is using up water fast.
If the horse is worked hard on a real
warm day it should have a liberal sup
ply of good water. From morning
till noon and from noon till evening is
a long time to go without water on
real hot day, for the horse as we'll as
the man. If water can be carried to
the field and the horses watered in
the forenoon and afternoon, but espec-
tally in the afternoon, they will be in
better condition to do good work and
they will be less likely to be affected
by the heat. Care in feeding will also
keep the horse in better condition to
resist the heat. In real hot weather
it pays to give the horses frequent
breathing spells as it is easy to in
jure the horse on hot day 50 that
its capacity for work is reduced for
weeks.-Agr. Elk. Dept, N. D. Ayr

HEIGHT TO CUT SWEET CLOVER.

If the first crop of sweet clover is
cut too low the plants are killed. These
results were secured in trial at the
North Dakota Experiment Station in
1915. The Sweet Glover sends out it's
second growth from the stem. The
buds form in the angle between the
stem and the branches. If all the
branches are cut then all the buds
from which new growth can come will
be removed. The lower the branches
come out the lower the first crop can
be cut without killing the plants
