QUARTERMASTER CORPS IS
BUSIEST ARMY Department
New u. S. Force VIII Require 1920
Trains; Billion Pounds Sup
plies Needed.

The quartermaster corps is Just now
the busiest department OF the United
States army. without II not a single
company OF troops could reach the
firing line, not soldier be clothed,
fed or armed.
TO move the great army Uncle sam
is bringing into being means the mar
shalling OF l24,5S0 railroad cars in
1920 trains and directing them with
out delay or confusion over routes
many of them over three thousand
miles long. To keep this force pro-
visioned in the field means supplying
and shipping / 1.000.000,000 pounds of
freight u month, requiring 90 trains
day.
The quartermaster corps. in coop
Grafton with the defense committee Of
railroad presidents. has organized
Americas 100000 miles of railroad,
with its hundreds Of corporations, into
one system and plotted every mile and
every train move over its myriad
routes. The examination OF an ap-
plicant for a commission in the corps
Is cited by Garret Smith in Leslies
Weekly to Illustrate the complicated
details Of such an officers task and
the possible seriousness OF the slightest
error. The examiner had asked him to
give every move he would make in
equipping and transporting n regiment
from Buffalo to an imaginary firing
line at Wilmington. He picked as one
Of his stopping points a small junction
where. unbeknown TO him the siding
was too short TO hold his train.

that by so doing he would cause a
block that would delay whole divi-
sion OF troops destined for a weak
point at the front just long enough to
let the enemy thru.
Quartermaster corps officers must
know every stopping point, length of
sidings, functions, capacity of termi-
nails, loading and unloading facilities.
size OF tunnels, capacity of bridges,
etc. along their routes.
The estimates OF the corps are based
on force of twenty field armies or
about 100000 men. With them go
100000 mount and draught animals.
$4,000 vehicles and 1850 big guns A
tabulation of rolling stock and other
railroad equipment just completed
shows that to handle this traffic there
are needed, besides more heavy cars,
special terminal yards and sidings,
loading and unload ding platforms, dou-
bic tracking of many single track lines
and the building OF new lines into un-
developed territory.
This means the raising OF a vast
of new capital by the rail-
roads. The railroad executives believe
that the systematizing and unifying
of railroad control under federal au-
thority, brought about by war prepara-
ton, will prove the value Of such CEN
tralized regulation for permanent adop-
ton by the United States as peace
measure. This vast increase of expense
In putting the roads in shape for war
Is also given as one of the chief rea-
sons for asking the Interstate Cons
merce commission for permission to
increase freight rates.

TIMES NINDICATION.

Before war conditions had gotten to
the United States should take part In
the world war, Republican newspapers
thruout the country made many asser-
tions that have since been vindicated
10y the facts tho they were discounted
Ht the time by the plea that II was
done for partisan gain. Among other
things the opposition felt under the
necessity OF hiding some OF the facts
and making people believe that the
prosperity which had sprung up since
the war was the result OF wise Demo
cratic policies and was not due to the
war. They carried their point and
elected their president, but now that
we are in the war the administration
finds itself under the necessity OF ad-
mitting the truth, even to the dis
credit Of ITS former assertions In the
effort to secure legislation giving IL
control over exports. which II should
have all right, the administration
acknowledges that large food exports
are going to our enemies and declares
that close surveillance over shipments
10 neutral countries is necessary 10
prevent lending aid and comfort to
those with whom we are now at war.
What the administration recognizes
now is just what the Republican press
of the country was repeatedly declar-
ing two years ago, but as we were
then counted among the neutrals the
advice was ignored and scorned. Now
we are reaping the fruits Of that short
sightcdncss. 1t may be true that the
Republican press was presenting these
facts with "A partisan end in view, but
they were facts nevertheless. and
those papers were serving a patriotic,
as well as q partisan, end. While now
the Republican newspapers arc almost
in their loyal support of the
president, not as "A man. but as the
embodiment OF national entity in rela-
uon to other nations, yet we cannot
help having pardonablc pride I'm the
vindication which later events have

that reason adherence to those prln-
ciples in time of war. as well as in

Old.fashioncd flowers love them all,
The morning glorics on the wall
The pansies IN their patch Of shade,
The volcts stolen from - glade,
The bleeding hearts and culumbino
Have long been garden friends of mine.
But memory every summer flucks
About n clump Of hollyhocks
The mother loved them years ago,
Besides the fence they used to grow,
And tho the garden changed each year
And certain blooms would disappear
To give their places IN the ground
To something new that mother found,
kOme pretty bloom or rosebush rare,
Ths holl!hOcks were always there.

She led me down the yard to see
The first tail spires, with bloom 1flame
And taught me to pronounce their name.
And year by yenr | watched them grow,
The first flowers I had come to know
And with the mother dear ia yearn,

USE SPECIAL CARE
IN CURING ALFALFA
If Crop Has Been Cut and Still
Green, Best Not to Turn 1t
While Wet With Rain.

Particular care should be used IN
curing alfalfa under adverse weather
conditions, asserts r. e. Bonnett, IN
structor in crops in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
If alfalfa has just been cut and is
still green, it is best not to turn 1t
when wet by rain. 1t should be left
in the swath until favorable weather
conditions prevail. Providing hay has
dried enough on top it should be
turned, preferably with side delivery
rake and allowed to dry in the wind
row. Allow the surface to become dry
before turning the alfalfa under and
keep turning until all the hay is dry
are important points to observe. If
hay has been punched and is wet by
rain, open up the punches as soon as
the top is dry and allow sun and wind
to blow through it.
Under the weather conditions of the
last few weeks, shocking hay is good

LEGAL SIDE OF SOLDIERS
LIFE OFFERS MANY TANGLES

Their. If his father be dead, then his
mother shares the estate equally with
his brothers and sisters and the chill
dren of deceased brothers and sisters,
the latter taking the deceased parents
share. These seem to be the principal
difficulties that beset the soldiers
mind. If he does not want his prop
erty to be distributed in the manner
prescribed by law he must make val
i'd will.
|, At least two witnesses are necessary
for the Wills validity and the testator
must sign the will at the end, telling
the witnesses the instrument is his last
will and testament. There is notable
exception: If the soldier is engaged
in active service in the United States
army or navy, he may make a valid
will by telling two persons what he
desires to be done with his property.
They must write 1t out according to
the instructions of the soldier.s A will
in this way can dispose of his person
atty, but not his real estate. This sort
of will should never be made except in
contemplation, fear or peril of death.
AS some states do not permit this
kind Of will, it is not safe for the SOL
der to tell his comrades from other
states that they can make a will in this
way. IF his home is in New York and
he in active service and not on fur
Tough or detached from active service
for any reason, he may take advantage
of this sort of will.
Then comes guardianship of chill
dren's property. If soldiers children
own property and he is leaving them
without anyone in whom he has con-
fidence to look aft<r that property, as
may often be the case If his wife is
not living, it is deTirable that guard
ian be appointed. A general guardian
is guardian of the person as well as
of the property. They are appointed
by the surrogate's court or the probate
court for the county in which the chill
dren live. If more than fourteen years
old, the children, subject to the approx
