No better illustration of the direct

crease to go to the children who cared
for them until Sold One of these calves
belonging to Joe Ring, Jr, son of

at the Jackson State Fair for the best
grade calf exhibited and the second
prize against all corners of that &c in
Guiding pure bred.
Mr.. Burnett has performed service
to the county of Warren and the chill
dren especially as his generosity will
no doubt assist mary boy and girl in
Warren county in the cattle growing
industry giving them a practical ex-
ample of what can be accomplished by
by giving stock proper attention.
Mr.. Ring says that his boy will make
500 profit after paying Mr.. Burnett

FAMINE, PRUSSIA'S ALLY.

Seven years ago famous European
students OF history prophesied that
the next great war would be won not
BY lighting, but by famine. We are to-
day fighting that war-and famine is
lowering.
The men Of England, Scotland, Ire
land, France, Italy, Belgium-our al
nes-sre fighting; they are not on the
farms. The yield of their land is
therefore cut down. Always they had
10 import much that they ate, draw
Ing the shortage from many other
countries az well as from America.
Now that their shortage is worse than
ever, there is little or none to be had
from these sources. They must
be fed from America. Our allies, there
fore, depend on us for food as never
before and they ask for it with
right they never had before. For to-
dsy they are doing the fighting, the
suffering and the dying-in our war
We must send them the food for
their necessities. We wiU send it.
But We can do it only by wise and
loyal economy of food on the part of
every one of us. We must stimulate
our food production, organize our food
handling, eliminate all waste, use
largely other foodstuffs for wheat, beef,
pork, dairy products and sugar, and
reduce consumption wherever it is in
excess.
To gain these results is the task of |
the United States Food Administra-
ton. 1t can be done only by joining
In one effort the willing service of all
the people in the land. To that end,
every man, woman and child is asked
70 be . member of the Food Admins
trstion. No fees, nor dues-just a
promise to help. The week of Nov.
IL Will be devoted to the nation wide
enrolment Of all earnestly loyal
Americans In the movement to win the
war by making sure that our allies are
not weakened and defeated by lack of
food.

great spectacle that the day had in
store and her own wonderful part in 1t.
For Madge, though twenty, had had
few breaks in the monotOny of her life
with her old maiden aunt and older
grandmother. Now, though she knew
none of the boys in Company B, she
looked forward with thrill to the fact
that she was one of the fifty pretty
girls who had been selected to wait
on them at table. OF her own volition,
she was also one of the two hundred
housewives who had volunteered to
make apple pies for the six hundred
boys who were expected to eat them.
She walked very gingerly from her
grandmother's cottage on the outskirts
of the town, hoping and half expecting
to meet someone she knew with an
automobile who would transport her
and her pies safely to their destlna-
ton. She even thought she might
meet a neighbOr walking toward town
empty handed who would relieve her
of the burden of one of the pies. But
no such luck befell her The only per-
son who appeared on the road that
led to town was man in the khaki
uniform of Company 3. Madge would
have liked to ask the man in uniform
to help her with one pie, for it was
slipping in her hand, and the string
that tied it was lOosening.
OF course, her impulse to ask the
man in khaki for assistance was only
fleeting for Madge had been warned
against these men. Though her grand
mother had consented reluctantly that
Madge help wait on them at the ban
uuet, she had warned her emphatically
not to smile at them, even if they
smiled at her. Her aunt warned her
especially not to speak to them, ex-
cept, of course, as it was necessary in
waiting on them, and then but briefly.
But the pie was slipping, and when
the tall, well-built man In khaki stood
beside her with outstretched hands to
take it just as it would have slipped
to the dusty ground, Madge had to
smile, and before she knew 1t she had
thanked the man, and they were walk
ing together toward the hall as If
they had known each other always.
AS Madge and her companion walked
through the streets in town she felt
with pleasure the eyes Of neighbOrs
and townspeople who saw her walking
with one of Company B. Now, she
was like the other girls who really
knew and could talk to one of these
brave soldiers.

me. I've liked talking to you, too"

BEES FOR THE GREENHOUSE,

Growers Of greenhouse cucumbers in
the state of Massachusetts alone are
utilizing more than 1000 colonies of
bees. 1t is absolutely indispensable
that bees shall be used if one is to
grow cucumbers under glass. Without
the bees it would be necessary for the
plants to be pollinized by hand.
The difficulty and expense Of this
proceeding is self-evident. 1t is con-
sidered advisable to have a colony Of
bees for every $50 feet of house. Some
of the growers keep fifty hives to at
tend to the work of propagating the Gu
cumber species.
One of the peculiar things about the
use of bees is that most of the growers
seem to be content with the idea of
buying new colonies every season.
There is really no good reason why the
colonies should not be carried over
from season to season, using a little
manipulation to insure the process, but
the major portion of the producers ap-
pear to accept the annual purchase of
bees as one of the inevitable expenses.
If the hives are so placed that they
will be at the ends Of the houses, with
chance to enter the house from one
end and the open from the other they
will thrive much better. The bees get
little or no honey from the cucumbers
during the winter and they must there
fore be fed on syrup. This brings about
heavy laying for the queen which is
not good for the bees. AS soon as the
weather is warm enough, if they are
permitted to fly in the open they will
to large extent.
If new queens are provided each sea-
son It would be possible to keep the
colonies indefinitely. The prices paid
for fresh colonies run from five to ten
dollars. A grower who is not afraid
of his bees and who learns how to
handle them can save much Of this ex-
penSe.

When Lost in Woods

When one is lost in the woods the
matter becomes serious. This may
happen to even the most acute. and the
average city dweller would have diff
Guilty in finding civilization again. So
the psychologist has laid down this set
Of rules. When lost in the woods,
keep going down hill and eventually
the wanderer will reach valley. Val
leys are open places, usually inhabit-
ed. If no sign of men can be found,
the straggler should follow a stream,
which ultimately will lead him to a
house or town. If the country is fiat,
the injunction to follow a stream is
emphasized. In a total absence of wa
ter or hills, take note of the sun, de-
termine the points of the compass, and
then carefully decide in which direc-
tion the nearest habitation is likely
to be.

When Company B left Stantown you
might have supposed the greatest pro-
cesslOn of the war was that of the
khaki-clad young men of Company B,
with their splendid band playing, as
they marched, in the glorious autumn
sunlight, through the main street of
that old town. True enough, 1t was a
spectacle for which farming folk from
the adjoining county, and perhaps
some folk from larger cities, as well,
Journeyed to old StantOwn. But
other companies just as splendidly
drilled and equipped as Company b
had left other old towns, just as proud
as StantOwn; so there was nothing ex-
actly unique in that procession.
The really remarkable procession
was the procession Of the ple-laden
ladies Of old Stantown through the
main streets an hour or so earlier than
the marching of Company b. AS a last
farewell to the boys of Company B,
a feast was to be spread on rough, inn
provised board tables in the larger
hall in the town. Though caterer had
been summoned to supply the main
courses of this feast, it had been de-
clded that the ladies' of StantOwn, for
generations noted for their crisp, de-
licious apple pies, should contribute
the sweet course of the banquet.
And so the pies came. They were
baked bright and early the day of the
banquet, and scarcely had they cooled
before they were on their way in the
hands of their housewifely bakers,
maids or children to the hall where
they were later to be devoured. To
carry one pie is comparatively easy,
even when it is still warm. But to
