Huskinu lndlan Corn.

The husking of Indian corn is 4
man-power proposition. Husking and
cribbing of this great staple cereal
must be dSne by hand. Machinery has
never satisfactorily grappled with the
task. Formerly farmer, hand
ed. would husk so bushels of corn in
day, but greater skill has raised the
possible output per person to between
80 and 100 bushels. That men and
boys, women and girls, may become
more proficient in the work, huskinx
schools have now been established
throughout the corn belt. These
schools are for business, and must not
be COMPOUNDED with husking bees.

The Bald Eadie.

Our national bird, the bald eagle,
wild in its native haunts, is so large,
so majestic, and flies with an evi-
dence of so enormous strength, that
one is impressed with the thought that
here is the king Of birds. On one oc-
casion while eating my lunch in the
shade of little bush on q Southern
prairie, l saw one carry off a lamb,

dubon society.

Children's recuperative powers, gen.

Of older people. Proper rest and care
will often ward off serious illness, but
this requires care and insight on the

themselves are not apt to call atten-

Lying Down to Smoke.

The Patagonians lie down while
smoking, swallowing and retaining
some Of the smoke, while the Eskimos
mix wood with the tobacco to make it
last longer. A reason for this is that
they must depend upon whalers for
their supply of tobacco. In Abyssinia
smoking is considered Il heinous crime,
entailing crucial penalties.

THERE SHOULD BE A SEPARATE
ORGANIZATION TO PROMOTE
INTERCOASTAL CANAL THRU
HOUMA FROM NEW ORLEANS
TO MORGAN CITY.
Continued from First Pager

the necessity of keeping open the ex-
listing waterways and connecting
them up.
tits my opinion that there should
be separate organization composed
Of members fro mthe section be-
tween Morgan City and New Or
leans. When l attended a confer
ence of representatives of the terri
tory between Morgan City and New
Orleans, which took place at the
Rooms of the Association of Com
merce in New Orleans in November,
found the people of New Orleans
ready to cooperate in every way and
l suggested that the Association of
| Commerce call meeting some time
IN the near future to form an or
ganization to secure sufficient funds
to keep representative in Washing
ton in order to keep before the prop
er authorities the Importance of the
link between Morgan City and New
Orleans.
While Congressman Martin and
Dupre have been very diligent and
have secured several appropriations
for the project, none of the money
has been made available for the link
between these two points,
"The Inland Waterway League
keeps man at Washington all the
time. This man has accomplished
great deal for the project as
whole, but l am afraid that unless
we have some one to look after our
end Of this project the greater part
OF the appropriations will be used in
other sections of the canal and leave
ours for the last.
There is great deal of work to
be done before the scheme is fin
ally carried out to fruition. 1t seems
to me that the proper thing to do
would be to urge the acquisition by
the Government of one or both of
the resent canals nov owned by pri-
vatc :r'',viduals which run in the.
same direction as the proposed can
al. The 3arataria Canal continues
across the Bayou Lafourche and con
meets with Bayou Terrebonne at
Canal Belanger and also connects
Bayou Terrebonne with Bayou Black
at Houma. If the Government
could be induced to take over these
two canals at once and make them |
free for navigation, the people /!
would get immediate relief and it
would be one of the greatest boons
to commerce that could be thought
Of. A free navigable waterway from
New Orleans to Morgan City pass
ing through Houma. Of course the !
project would be carried out in it's
entirety, the Government merely US
ing the route of one of the canals .
from the Mississippi River to Bayou
Lafourche and then carrying out its
original route from Bayou Lafourche
to Bayou Black. But in the mean
time, the present canals would be-
come available at once for such COM
merce as it would accommodate.
I'm connection with this would
also urge that the same organize
ton take, up several other mat
ters affecting these communities
such as the Automobile Road
which seems to be getting
along slowly and also the contemplate

WILL MARSHALL FIELD III. ENLIST?
BY Carl Sandburg
WILL

Marshall Field III. is coming on to
Chicago this week and enlist in the
First Illinois cavalry his action is eX=
pected to stimulate recruiting among
other young men who up to date in
their pale lavender lives have existed
onlyin the rose glow Of a granddad's
fame and glory.
At the present time Marshall Field
III. is physically and mentally
sort of nobody who travels on his
grandfather's name and money. The
general theory is that if he hadn't
picked the worlds greatest mer-
chants IOins to spring from he would
on natural form and ability be selling
sOx at the weIl-knOwn wages paid by
Marshall Field & Co. and without
bonus payment at New Years in war
time with recOrd-bTeaking profits.
am writing the truth about this
kid because l hope he enlists and cur
ries his own horse and handles a
shovel like any hOnest-tO-Pete ca
valryman fighting as a private sol
der in the American army.
If this Field boy goes in and the
officers Of the First cavalry play no
favorites, it will be a good thing for
Chicago. This is so because the
Field boy is just about the most pow
erfuI single individual in this city
if he chooses to exercise the power
he holds as titular and economic
head of the biggest retail and whole
sale stores in Chicago, with control
in Commonwealth Edison, Surface
Lines, Illinois Central, Illinois Steel
Let this boy learn how to stand on
his own legs, knock around among
rough men, eating pork and beans
and listening to smutty stories and
TolHcking hi-yi songs, thrown into
the guardh0Use if he gets drunk or
shoots off his mouth, scTubbing his
accOutrements, making his bed on
the ground or on stone and wooden
floors of barracks, washing his own

lay eggs under the armpits of all
who get into active seryiCe-let this
young Marshall Field III. 60 up
against this game without special
favOrs from commissioned officers
and non-cOms- then he may
come back to State street, take
things in his own hands and run the
vast Marshall Field shebang all by
himself. I'm not afraid Of the re-
suits. haven't a doubt but Chaun-
cey Keep, Arthur D. Jones, John G.
Shedd and the trustees and caretak-
eTs of this young commercial prince
have a deep affection for him because
of their generation for his granddad.
If the lad goes into the First ILL
nOis cavalry and learns to work and
fight, it is a sure thing the trustees
and caretakers will be glad of it.
They would like to see him travel on
the prOwess of his own lOins instead
of his grandfather's.
When Marshall Field III. sings "My
Country, 'Tis of Thee" with.the ac-
cent on MY" he is singing true to

years of age, and a big share of the
country. will be his. The American
flag is the flag Of HIS country in a
real sense. Furthermore, inasmuch
as Marshall Field III. & Co., manu-
featuring wholesalers, have textile
mills in France and England
Marshall Field III. was educated
from bOyhood to young manhood in
England-he is the one young man
in all Chicago whom the forces of
destiny ought to shove into the First
Illinois cavalry. And right after him
should come his younger brother,
Henry Field.
If they should perish as cannon
fodder they would have consolation
not known to the millions and mil
lions. Their wives and children
would be safe against material want.
