SUGGESTS WAR H0N0RS
FOR ARMY OF FARMERS
Recruit All Unfit For War Work For
Service In the Fields.

New York.-Joseph Hartigan, COM
missioner Of weights and measures,
has laid before the council Of national
defense plan to remedy the shortage
Of agricultural labor by the mobiliza-
ton and training by the government
Of an agricultural army.
The scheme provides for enlisting
ablebodied men unfit for the army and
navy on account Of minor defects, such
as weak vision, deafness, tooth trouble,
and so on. and also Of conscientious
directors.
I'm view Of the present food situa-
tton and the need for more food In fu-
ture," said the commissioner, "the
farmer must have help In increasing
his crops. American agriculture has
suffered from the drift Of farm labor to
munition factories, and when the ma
ton begins to raise an army there will
be further subtraction from farm Ia
Dor through enlistments, while the con-
sumption Of food certainly will not de-
crease.
Under the circumstances 1t seems
we ought to honor the man behind the
plow as well as the man behind the
gun. Each is serving the nation. Such
an army might easily number several
hundred thousand. 1t would be regu-
larry organized and Offered, and its
men would wear uniforms, marking
them distinctly as engaged in the serv-
Ice Of the United States. After brief
training they could be distributed In
regiments or companies where needed,
according to crop seasons. These men
would be paid by the government, Just
as soldiers are paid, and they might
well receive the advantages after hon.
cable discharge that are given in some
places by law to ex-soldiers. Farmers
who receive this aid from the govern
ment could pay the wage rate current
In their neighborhoods."

FARMS ON LINKS
Golfers viii Raise Food Products
For Country.
F. U. ADAMS ORIGINATES PLAN

Idea of Well Known Author Has Been
Enthusiastically Received - Adopt
Motto I'VE Are Not Too Proud to
Hoe"-Expeet to Realize Several Mil
lion Dollars.
New York.-The golf players Of the
United States will turn farmers and
raise on their links huge crops Of pota-
toes and other food products for the
use Of the United States and its allies.
Such is the movement set on foot by
the Dunwoodie Country club at a spe-
cial meeting held In its Yonkers club
house. The plan originated with Fred
erick Upham Adams, author and
golfer.
The plan Of operation Is simple and
II declared to be practical. Dunwoodie

In common with all golf courses, has
for golf1ng purposes. The club has set
this aside for cultivation. More than
q hundred of the members have al
ready volunteered to do the work of
cultivation, and 1t Is predicted that
this volunteer farming corps will soon
number fully $50 golfers who will try
to prove themselves as efficient with
hoe as with a niblick. These volun-
teers sign the following pledge:
"The Dunwoodie Country club has
the honor Of taking the initiative In q
national campaign on the part Of golf
clubs to aid in winning the war now
declared. We propose to set aside for
cultivation all Of our land not abso-
lutely needed for golf purposes. We
propose that our members shall Guilt
vate this land; that the club shall pur-
chase its product at a fair market
value and that members shall do the
same, and that the total cash proceeds
shall be devoted to the purchase Of am
bulance trucks and other necessaries
required in the successful prosecution
Of war.
1.-THE undersigned members Of the
Dunwoodie Country club now volun-
teer their services In the Dunwoodie
volunteer garden corps and pledge
themselves to work In these gardens
for an average of two hours a week
for the twenty weeks which constitute
the season. We also agree to pay 81 as
initiation fee and further pledge our
selves to obey the rules which win be
adopted to govern the execution Of this
patriotic duty"
Two hours a week for twenty weeks
makes forty hours work for each men,
Der, which means that q volunteer
CORPS Of $50 members would perform
10000 hours Of farming labor. This
now has a market value Of not less
than 80 cents an hour, an item Of
$1,000, and the Dunwoodie farming ex-
perts predict that the muscle Of their
golfers will create a product which
win sell for not less than $4,000, Of
which the club will be chief patron.
Mr.. Adams, President Austin L. Bah
cock Of the Dunwoodie Country club
and other originators Of this movement
point to the fact that there are fully a
thousand golf clubs in the United
States and predict that several mill
lions Of dollars will accrue for war
purposes from this campaign.
'-The Dunwoodie plan" has the hearty
support Of Howard f. Whitney, secre-
tary Of the United States Golf associa-
ton.
The Dunwoodie Country club win at
once prepare a pamphlet containing
the details Of "the Dunwoodie plan"
and will mail it to all Of the golf clubs
In the United States.
The motto adopted Is I'VE are not
too proud to hoe" and the popular an
them for golfers this year will be
way down yonder in the cornfield."

Parrot.


Parrot.
Green Bay, Wis.-Polly, parrot, the
companion Of Mrs. William Anderson,
was preening herself In the sunshine
at the window of the front room when
a hawk. swooping down, crashed
through the window glass.
Before the bleeding bird Of prey could
reach the parrot with its talons Polly
scared out through the same hole and
perched in an apple tree. Polly set up
a frightened chatter that brought her
mistress. who couldn't imagine how
she got out Of the room. Mrs. Ander-
son hurried out and to the window,
where she saw the havoc and the great
hawk Topping about the floor, sprink-
ling blood all over her erstwhile i'm
maculate parlor.
When Mrs: Anderson and a neighbor
had pinned it down and chopped OF its
head they found it three feet five
inches from tip to tip. The bird was
thin and seemed nearly starved, prob
ably. they thought. because of the deep
snow.

MAKING OFFICERS
More Than 10000 Are Required
For United States Army.
HOW TO OBTAIN COMMISSION

Candidates Will Be Grouped by Cities,
and Examining Officers Will Be Sent
to Conduct Examinations at Central
Points-First and Most Important
Requisite 10 Military Training.
Washington.-The new army will re
quire more than 10000 officers Of the
line, including those Of the regular
army and the reserve. In the next few
months. therefore, opportunities will
be open for thousands Of capable young
men to enter the military service. The
method Of obtaining a commission is
not what it has heretofore been In
times Of emergency.
The applicant may send his applca-
ton to the secretary of war or he may,
II he has acquaintance with his con-
gresham or senator, send 1t through
either of these. His application once
on file In the war department, he will
be duly notified as to every step nee
essary for him to take to qualify for
q commission. Naturally at this time,
when the increment necessary must be
crowded into a short period Of time,
many requirements will be less rigor-
ously enforced than in ordinary times.
Candidates will be grouped by cities,
and examining officers will be sent to
conduct examinations at central points.
Examining officers will conduct ex-
am1nations in a selective manner,
maintaining a ratio Of one major to
five captains, five first lieutenants and
five or more second neutenants. The
first and most important requisite is
military training, but military train
ing alone will not admit a man to the
officers reserve corps. He will be ex-
amined as to character and sobriety,
personality, address and force, reputa-
ton and standing In his community,
power to command respect Of officers
and men, and adequate education. Mil
itary efficiency, however, will deter
mine the grade to which he will be ap-
pointed.
In case Of men who have had little
or no military training candidates will
be recommended for appointment as
second lieutenants subject to the thir-
ty-second year age limit, provided they
are college graduates, or seniors in col
lege, or clearly well educated men, or
have demonstrated ability in business,
athletics or other activity and possess
In a marked degree the ability to ham
die men. The war department expects
that it will be possible under this
standard to obtain from forty to fifty
good reserve officers of the line from
each congressional district.
Instructions to examining officers are
to hold the general examination as to
character and capability up to a high
standard.
Orders have gone out from the war
department to speed up examinations
and recommendations because it is rec
ognized that 1t viii require time to
make an army OF even 100000 men ef-
fective for service under the conditions
Of fighting employed In the present
war

WILSON At SIXTY YEARS
LOOKS TO BE ONLY FORTY


Washington.-Facing the worries and
tremendous responsibilities Of a war
the end Of which cannot be foreseen,
President Wilson at the age Of sixty
years Is In perfect physical trim. he
looks and acts about forty.
Many things contribute to the pres
ident's fine physical condition. He Is
q stanch believer In outdoor exercises
plenty Of air. He takes both regu-
larly and In time Of stress defies the
weather to keep him from the golf
links or a long walk with Mrs. Wilson.
Relieve the mind by exposing it to
the sunshine" appears to be the pres
ident's creed.
Whenever there has been a crisis 1t
Is the presidents custom to attend a
theater, and he plays golf usually after
his decision has been made.
DR.. Cary T. Grayson, the presidents
private physician, has played a prom
inent part In keeping him strong and
well. Whenever a danger signal is
flashed along the presidents system
Grayson Catches 1t. On those occa-
sions the president Is sent to bed to
rest.
The president and Grayson may al
ways be seen together when an inter
national snarl Is being dealt with.
They may either play golf together
or ride about the Washington drives
swapping stories.
By holding to simple rules Of living
the president finds himself-a war
president-physically and mentally it
to cope with the big proh' ahead.

Beginning of School Term

The public schools in Hol- brook will open for the fall term Monday, Sept. 8. There will be eleven teachers, in- cluding three high school teachers, an. additional tea cher in the grades having been employed. Some of the high school teachers will assist in the grades in addi- tiOn to teaching the higher courses.
 A rumor has gained some circulationin town thata tui- tiOn of $40 will be charged in the high school. There is absolutely no truth in this rumor. Tuition will be free and moreover all text books will be furnished free of charge.
 Prof. Gallagher, superint- tendent of the schools, sta tes that the new high school will start with more than a dozen students. This num- Der will no doubt be increas- led before the term ends. T hree excellent teachers have been secured for the high school and Prof. Gal lagher will himself teach some of the subjects.
 The people of Holbrook have reason to congratulate themselves upon the esta- blishment of the high school. Not only does this add great ly to the facilities of the schools but it strengthens the graded schools.
