u. S. Officials Com

reau Activity Government
Handbook.

WASHINGTON the active CO.
operation, advice, and assistance of
farmers themselves is necessary to
the success Of county agent work is
one OF the most important lessons i'm
p1 essed upon officials Of the United
States department of agriculture after
six years of experience with this work
in the northern and western states.
The best means of securing this local
support has proved TO be the estab-
hshment of a county organization
usually known as a farm bureau.
To enable the county agent and To-
cal farmers to organize and conduct
farm bureau most effectively, the
department has just published detail
ed suggestions as to methods of pro-
cedure in a guide known as Hand
book on Farm Bureau Organization for
County Agricultural Agents" The
plan represents the fruit OF expert
ence in this field thus far, it is said
1t can be adapted readily to the vary
ing conditions of different counties. 1t
may be established in counties having
inefficient organizations, IN counties
contemplating the employment of an
agent and in places where the agent
is now unsupported by a local county
organization.
The chief functions of a farm bu-
reau, as outlined in the handbook are
Cd To coordinate the efforts OF
existing local agricultural forces,
either organized or unorganized, and
to organize new lines of effort. 1t
does not supplant any existing Organf-
cations or compete with them, but
establishes a clearing house through
which all may increase their efficiency
without in any way surrenderiDg their
| individuality.
Cd To bring to the agent the coun-
sci and cooperation of the best farm
ers in the county in planning and
executing an agricultural improve
ment program.
CD To furnish the necessary local
machinery for easily and quickly
reaching every community in the
county with information OF value to
that. community or to the county as a
| whole.
| (4) TO encourage self-help through
| developing and exercising leadership
in the rural affairs OF each commu-
nifty.
CD TO reveal to all the people of
the county the agricultural possibili-
ties of the county and how they may
| be realized.

SCENES FROM PARAMOUNT
TO BE USED AT FRONT

Several thousand photographs, snap
shots. scenes from Paramount pro-
auctions. etc, have been collected at
the Lasky studios IN California and
given to Major Rose Moore the ia
nous neurologist, who Will be IN
charge of the Neurasthenic hospital,
back of the American lines in France.
These photographs will be in charge
of Louis Coleman Hall, of Los An
geles, who is to be aide to Major
Moore in France and Will be used for
the purpose of distracting the minds
OF soldiers suffering from mental dis
orders as result of shell shock. priva-
ton, confinement, gas, etc.
The United States is preparing to
establish a special hospital with $500
beds to care for these cases. As the
ailments are entirely mental, the OBJ
ject of the physicians is to take the
minds Of the sufferers Of the war as
much as possible. The pictures, ac-
companied by little stories appropriate
thereto will be used to this purpose.
The Lasky company has also ar
tachment Arthur Streib, one of their
photographers. He Will not only take
pictures of the hospital cases but Will
also run the hospital projection ma
chine and tell stories of the life Of
the studios to the convalescents.
1t Is believed that this will be very
efficient factor in restoring to normal
condition many of the boys who have
undergone terrific strain but escaped
actual wounds.

A MARINE CANTONMENT, Nov. 1.
Newly enlisted marines are learn
ing many arts aside from the actual
use of rifle and bayonet and the OPP
Grafton of machine guns. One that is
of greatest Importance, and in which
they are drilled continually, is that of
. trench building. 1t is called trench
building advisedly, for in the new
trenches there Is fully as much work
at building as at digging.
viii any of the things the men
learn here be of use in peace time,
after the war is over?" a marine corps
officer was asked.
"A few Will but most won't. ex-
cept as it builds their character.
There is not a little character build
ing going on as the men are build
ing their trenches"
The trenches themselves are mar
wells of workmanship. Even at this
late day, when it would be supposed
military men knew all that is to be
known about trench building. i'm
provements In construction methods
constantly are being introduced.
To one who has had turn in the
trenches, their depth is the first sur
<prise. First line trenches are dug
80 deep that the helmet of the tallest
man is at least two feet below the
surface line. At the front of the
trench are two steps. 1t is on these
the men stand when fighting is in
progress. With one foot on the first
an the other on the second step, the
!. average man can just see over the
~tSD of the trench to take aim at the
edemy. Except when the men are pre-
pairing to go lover the top" there is
little firing from the trenches by in
fantrymen. Men with periscopes con-
stantly are on watch. When one Of
the enemy is seen exposing himself
above the trench the word is given
to an infantry sharpshooter, who pops
him head above the trench and takes
quick aim and fires.
The action must be quick, for there
is a man with periscope over in the
enemy trench, ready to give the word
to another sharpshooter the instant
the first sharpshooter's head appears.
1t was the fearful losses among their
sharpshooters early in the war that
led the French and British armies to

NUT Aid Italy.

LONDON. Oct. 29.-That Great
Britain and France must go promptly
to Itay's help. Is the view expressed by
several morning newspapers.

implying knowledge that such help is
contemplated. says editorially:
Our word TO the people OF Italy is 10

Italy must not and will not be

While Ill the, newspapers recognize

and the italian army. with the convic-
ton that they ultimately will emerge
victorious. Italian perseverance and
successes of the past are recalled with
warm admiration and the weakness OF
