MAY CALL
ON SECOND
Mt
ERepublican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Discus-
sion of the advisability of eXpediting
the call for the second increment of the
draft army now is in progress at the
war department and ii appears likely
that the date may be fixed for some
time in December or January.
Mobilization of the first increment
of 6S7 900 men is noW far enough ad-
vanced to show clearly that there will
be a big deficiency for the seventeen
national army divisions. More than
250. 900 of the first increment are still
to be assembled. but it is already evil
dent that there will be availa BILE at the
sixteen cantonments quarters for an
additional regiment at each post and
at some for a full brigade of two regi
ments.
The strength of the new regimental
organization is $500 men. With a
regiment lacking at each cantonment
this alone would mean shortage of
nearly $4,000 men. In addition there
has been authorized a separate di
vision of negro troops, which means
nearly 10000 men Withdrawn from the
original number assigned 10 the six
teen cantonments.
The shortage is due partly to the
necessity of taking out of national
army men to fill up national guard
divisions. Two complete national army
divisions of southern troops have been
absorbed in this way The remnants
of three other southern national army
divisions will be consolidated to form
a single divisional unit, and the sur
plus men from other camps will be
sent south To make up the missing di
visions.
Drafts on the national army force
also must be made to fill up the en-
listed personnel of the aviation SER
vice the medical corps and the service
battalions needed behind the fighting
lines abroad. Eventually there will be
100000 men in the last named service
alone and aviation and the medical ser
vice will take nearly as many more
though not all of them will be taken
from the national army. Operating to
delay the calling out of the second in
crement to make good these shortages
are several factors. Clothing and
equipment is coming forward only at
rate that can meet the demands of
the forces already called and the rail-
ways of the country have been over
burdened with the job of moving the
army and IFS necessities without him
dering freight shipments vital to the
allies. 4
Fixing the date of the call for the
second increment probably hinges also
upon the careful study being made by
Provost Marshal General Crowder and
his assistants of the results of the
plan followed in assembling the men
called first. Many questions have
arisen which it may be desired to
avoid hereafter and substitute regula-
iions to guide both local and district
boards. prepared in the light of what
actual experience taught, may be is
sued TO govern the second call.

[RepuoIican A. p. Leased wire1


WASHINGTON, oct. a. Citizen
soldiers in the national army training
environments will not have to forego
the privilege of attending political
meetings this fall. Secretary Baker an
nounced tonight that he had approved
an order by Major General j. Franklin
Bell, in command at Camp Upton, \.
T., permitting political gatherings in
Camp under proper regulations and
that the ruling would apply to all the
camps.
The conditions are that there shall
be no interference with the serious

given all political parties. 1t is under
stood also that General Bells prohibi-
tion of disloyal utterances will apply

Where the state laws provide for
taking the ballots of soldiers absent
from their lawful voting places by
state commissions or otherwise, such
polling of the troops will be facilitated
by the military commanders during the
municipal and state elections.

Pa. .otism of the Right Sort

On July y the United States Steel
Corporation gave the holders of the
common stock an extra dividend with
the suggestion that it be paid to the
Red Cross. Other corporations have
contributed directly to the Red Cross
but the United States Steel Corpora
ton bought the active assets of the
stockholders with the suggestion that
contributions from this dividend be
given by the stockholders directly to
the branch of the Red Cross located
in the vicinity of their respective res
licences.
Viroqua has received one such con-
tribution of S25. We hope there are
others in the community holding this
stock whose patriotic instincts will
prompt them to turn in this dividend,
thereby justifying the confidence of
the company which gives them the
chance to contribute to the RedCross.

In the making Of a garden wall. Al
most all of the lovers Of the garden
have ut some time cherished the de-
sire to have a rock garden. 1t offers
an appeal and field that seems to be
irresistible.
The beauty Of the rock garden pros
pect Is that one does not have to de-
pend upon natural assistance to pro-
vide one. Almost any point in the gar
den where retaining wall Is needed.
or possible, affords the opportunity for
decorative effect.
The toughest field stones, Of the kind
that any farmer uses for dry wall,
may be utilized. The larger the stones
the better the chance for getting the
desired effects. Up to the sizes from
two to three feet In length, the more
bulk they have the better because they
offer greater resistance to the alterna-
tive elements Of thawing and freezing.
As a primary proposition the gar
dener wants to cut his bank on slight
slant, and then begin laying his rocks
with q backward and downward angle.
When the bank has been cut few
large stones should be nicely fitted to-
gether. Over them lay covering Of
rich soil, made from leaf mold or loan,
or. II no such soil Is possible, prepare
well-rOtted manure instead of the leaf
mold. Put about half an inch Of the
covering on the first rocks and pack
well to prevent 1t from falling out.
The roots of the plant should then
be pressed lightly into the soil, using
care that they be made firm and
steady. The next step calls for more
| soil. 1t Is essential that the stone
should be well set and so anchored as
| to make 1t safe from slipping.
From this point on the process Il
one Of repetition. AS large or as small
rock garden as one wishes. may bt

and the covering with soil and plants
II one wishes to provide watel
supply 1t must be laid with the wall
A few lengths of old farm tile will do
for the task. The line of the tile SHOULD
lie back of the stones.

Medicinal Value Of Lemons.

II the testimony of the Sicllian c.
trus chamber is given due considera-
ton In determining the status Of a
lemon 1t deserves an important place
In the list Of first aids. According
to the authority mentioned the lemon
aids are chiefly medicinal and hygl-
enic. Its juice Is Of value In treat
ing diphtheria and govt. For ordin-
airy colds 1t Is great specific. 1t will
cure slight wounds and chilblains. The
juice of several lemons taken every
day will help to cure rheumatism and
provide an antidote for diabetes; the
small slices applied to corns will ease
the pain.
As a cleansing agent and beautl-
fer, the reputation Of the lemon scars
still higher. The Juice whitens the
hands, improves the complexion, helps
Is anything can, to remove freckles. In
the culinary department II ranks with
salt and sugar in general usefulness
and as furniture polish its oil IL
beyond reproach.
