REMINlscENcE OF POE.

The painter, William Sartain, contributed some
recollection of Edgar Allan Poe to the Art World
His iographer, Griswold, has slandered him
as Incorporate. My father said this was not
true, and he was most temperate in drinking. 1t
is a considerable confirmation of this that Poe
was a model of punctuality in his reviewing and
other work for the magazines during all the en-
suing Is years of his life, which comprises his
literary career. In 1887 he moved to New York
and after a year to Philadelphia, where he wrote
some of his finest stories. For much of his lit
erary career he was half starving. His labor
over his writings is shown, no doubt with some
exaggeration, however, in his article The Philoso-
ply of Composition written shortly after the
publication Of The Raven In this essay he
enumerates some of his articles of faith, such as:
Beauty is the legitimate province of the poem;
1t is a pure and intense elevation Of the soul, not
of the intellect nor the heart.
But except for these intermittent indulgences,
his addiction to stimulants must have been gross
ly exaggerated by his biographer GriswOld, whom
my father has said he had personally seen on
quite bad terms with Poe. My fathers acquaint-
ance with him was the more close In the latter
years of his life and, as his statements were most
positive, these derogatOry stories must be taken
with a grain of salt. The account / have given
of Poe's death after having been robbed of his
moreover, based on my fathers contemporary In
formation-that l cannot accept the story of his
having been lured into the hands of an election
eering gang and ~drugged, so as to be utilized for
depositing ballots in numerous polling places"

shows careful thought on the part Of
its creator. The straight hanging satin
skirt adds nothing to the size of the
hips. A little carefully disposed full
ness in the overskirt straightens the
line from bust TO hips and the pockets
are placed where they will not widen
the figure. By extending the over
dress into points at the sides an al
most straight line is achieved from
neck to hem. The point on the deep
cuffs makes the sleeves shapely and
the narrow collar and short shoulder
seam lessen the width Of the Shout
ders.
Rows of small buttons on the sleeves
and on the front of the overdrapery
center the eyes on straight lines. Son.
tache braid makes q dignif1ed finish
and with the pockets proclaims the
designers allegiance TO prevailing
modes.

Designers of apparel for stout wom-
en- are confronted with two problems
one, to make accepted styles becoming
to full figures and the other to create
styles exclusively for them. The first
problem takes most Of their time and
thought, for all women like to dress in
the mode, and the perverse modes con-
tinue to be designed for the slimness
Of youth. But specialists are doing
more than their bit toward making life
happy for women whose figures have
rounded out to the fullness of matron-
hood.
Just how successfully they can de-
sign becoming clothes is set forth in
the costume of wool and satin shown
in the picture. The underskirt and up
per part of the sleeves are Of satin, the
overdrapery of serge, and it might be
of any of the more substantial wooden
fabrics. Every line In this model

I'VE Want No Praise"
1--WE of the Alaska service are helping to bear
the white mans burden; we do not claim to be
ministering to a dying race; we want no praise as
helpers of the weak or as ministers to the down
trodden who are dying in filth and degradation.
We do not allow anyone to class US in these cate
gories. That class of work is entirely humani-
tartan and is properly the duty of the missionary
organizations. But as representatives Of the gov
eminent we claim the right Of our service to exist
because we are developing the resources of north
ern Alaska just as much as any man with a pick
and pan. We are adding to the wealth of the ma
ton just as much and as surely as any prospector
or trailmaker. We are making a country produc-
tive just as much as any reclamation project that
was ever managed by the government"

paign to enlist the support of all farmers in the
work Of growing greatly increased crops. keep
every acre working this summer" is a campaign
slogan which Is heard in all Of the great farming
states. The result will be that In the fall the
farmers will harvest peanut, bean, ~buckwheat,
potato and other "catch crops a departure in
the history of agriculture. According to present
indications, the potato crop will be nearly 200,-
100000 bushels larger than ever before, while
prodigious quantities of peanuts and beans will
be available for food products in the fall and
during 1918.
The mobilization of the farms for war service
has been conducted along many lines of service.
Close coordination between all branches of the
industry has given tremendous impetus to the
campaign to increase the nations food supply.
Travellers who pass through the middle West
this year will see scenes along railroad property
comparable to those in Europe, where the farm
ers have been cultivating such idle ground for
years. In some states, notably Iowa and Kansas,
well-deined steps have been taken to encourage
the planting of certain useful crops along the
roadsides. Iowa has more than 100000 acres Of
unused land along its public highways which
could be drafted for this purpose, while Kansas
has more than 10000 acres, according to a recent
survey.
1t is safe to say that virtually every acre of

The American Red Cross is organ
izing 80 base hospitals and preparing
the equipment, supplies and personnel
for them. The magnitude of this I'M
dertaking can be glimpsed when we
consider that each unit has % sur
geons, two dentists, so graduate
nurses with assistants and attendants
making up $50 persons; for the 80
units, 1900 persons, trained 10 care
for the wounded.
Besides the permanent equipment of
these hospitals with the most modern
appliances for the care of the sick
and for surgical cases, 1t is necessary
to provide great numbers of articles
that are quickly consumed by a hos
pital in service, such as bandages,
splints, pads, drains, garments worn
by the wounded and all sorts of surg
zeal dressings. These are called con-
sumable hospital supplies and these
are the things that m are max
ing and will continue to make while
war lasts. Every woman can help in
this work in some way. Not TO do
something is q confession or lndl1-
ference or Of cold-hearted lack Of
sympathy or of selishness-a betrayal
Of cheap character that dishonors
~womanhood,
But indifference often springs from
lack of knowledge and not from cold
ness of heart. Red Cross headquar-
tiers have been deluged with letters
from women all over the country, Of
fering to help in any way they can.
For their benefit one of the important
chapters of the Red Cross has issued
a circular of information concerning
the work Of base hospitals and In 1t
a vivid picture is painted Of the ex-
pertences of the wounded soldier from
the time he falls until he reaches a
base hospital. Here lie must be given

land which can be handled conveniently during
the summer months has been placed under cult
walton in Iowa and the surrounding states. The
labor shortage is so serious that thousands Of
farmers have been greatly handicapped in putting
out increased acreage because Of the fear that
they would be unable to harvest the crops unaid-
ed. 1t is estimated that the middle West will re-
quire an army of 0 10000 farm laborers this sum-
mer If the food crop Is to be saved in its en-
tirety. Farm laborers can command almost any
price for their services, but despite alluring Of
fers they are hard to get. Canada is paying as
high as $75 a month for laborers, and In some
cases is promising them free homesteads. In the
Northern states farm hands can command wages
ranging from $45 to $50 a month and board. A
few years ago the farm hand who could get $25
or $50 for his services was considered a genius.
The patriotic service the farmers are doing
this year and which they will be called upon to
do next year on n much larger scale will add
millions, If not billions, of dollars to the wealth
Of the country. Mobilization of the farm re-
sources has been one of the most stupendous I'M
dertakings ever attempted by the government;
but 1t has succeeded admirably well for 1917,
despite the late start. By 1918 every available
resource of the middle West will be thrown into
the production Of vastly increased yields Of all
farm crops.

every available assistance to recovery.
Briefly, this circular tells US that,
when a wounded soldier is too badly
injured to drag himself to shelter, he
lies on the field or in the trenches,
until army litter bearers can reach
him. They carry him back to a first
aid station, located in any available
shelter-in a wood-behind n hill or
in a trench, or dugout or tent, Here
surgeons stanch the flow Of blood, put
splints on shattered bones and dress
wounds, so that the soldier may be
moved to a place back of the danger
n
He is carried by the ambulance col
umn to one of the small field hospitals
set up to the rear of the fighting line.
The field hospitals are usually housed
in tents, with capacity for temporary
are of 125 wounded, who lie on
blankets or tarpaulins on the ground.
Further back Of the line there are
evacuation hospitals each designed to
receive the wounded from three field
hospitals. But none of these are
permanent resting places or equipped
with appliances of a real hospital. The
wounded man must be sent still fur
Their away from the danger zone, to
some place where he will not have to
be moved gel If the army is forced
to retreat. He is finally taken to O
base hospital, with all the equipment
of a regular military hospital. Here
he has the best of care and may re-
main until the base hospital is filed,
when he is again transferred to a
permanent interior hospital to com
plete his recovery. 1t is the base hos
pltal that gives him his chance for
life.

AUTOMOBILE ROADSIDE
MARKET IS PROPOSED
New Means to Help Win War
Through Conservation of
Food Suggested.
GETS FRESH FOOD TO CONSUMER
Would Benefit Both City and Coun-
try People and at Same Time Re-
suit in Use Of Material Now Large
ly Going to Waste.

New means OF helping to win the
war through the conservation Of food
are NOW being considered by the Vir-
g!nia Council of Defense. The idea
was originated in Pennsylvania, where
II has been effectively used in some
sections. and 1t is now planned to ex
tend the same method 10 every State
in the Union. The plan is what might
be termed AN automobile roadside
market"
There are n number Of farmers In
Virginia regularly selling fruit, but
ter. eggs. poultry and vegetables to
automobilists, who pass their farms,
and it has been found exceedingly adj
vantageous to both the producer and
the consumer. This traffic, however. is
at present too casual TO be OF such i'm
portance. considered from the point OF
view Of the entire State and the food
supply.
1t is proposed that II the farmers
OF particular districts. and their wives
and children, were to agree to hold
regular roadside markets at given
hours on given days. this business
would be sure to attract city folks 20
the advantage of both the farmer and
the city buyer. Under present labor
conditions II is impossible for the
farmer. whose surplus of fruit and
considerable distance for sale. More
and more the business of hawking and
DeddlinE farm products is becoming
distasteful to the farmer.
Under present conditions. not only
will quantities OF fruit and vegetables
go to waste, but even the butter and
eggs from the farm will reach the
consumer in more or less forlorn con-
dition because of delay in collecting
and marketing. Every bit Of fruit
and all the vegetables which can be
will relieve more staples for starving
Europe. while bencnting America.
SUGGESTIONS MADE FOR
NEW PLAN OF MARKETING
Suggestions for the new marketing
scheme are offered by the council as
follows:
Such market should re held at a
specific place on specified days Of the
week. 1t should Legin about p. NJ.
bu; earlier on Saturdays.
The place selected should be, pre-
erably. shaded spot on a well-travel-
ed road which is comparatively free
from dust. The material for sale can
be placed on n large. clean wagon, on
porta bic tables. or attractively arrang-
ed on the grass q little back from the
roadside.
Special baskets may be made up,
containing a variety of products-bas-
kets TO sell for 25 cents, so cents, IS
cents and Sin which case tags should
show plainly the name and post office
address of the producer and the guam
tity. variety and price of everything in
the basket. Thus the buyer would
know from whom to duplicate orders

and could even order In advance by

and could even order In advance by
mail
Local newspapers and tho nearby
city paper would give such a market
it's first publicity; its conduct, fairness.
continuity, and SO forth. would give
1T the final publicity on which 1t must
stand or fall Fancy packing always
pays when one has an autoist for a
prospective customer. Eggs should be
separated by color: dirty eggs never
sold. Fruit should be perfect, Vegc-
tables clean and fresh; and. where
paper Is used. 1t pays to use good
paper. II community intelligence is
exhibited in such marketing opera
ton, it promises good prices, economies
for the producer and an outlet for his
products that he otherwise could not
afford to market"
