There isn't any occasion to mourn.
even If one is too young to fight. It is
hardly necessary to say again what
has been said so many times, that
there are many ways to serve ones
country beside carrying gun, or help
Ing to man ship, or driving an am

these things must be fed and so must
the families they leave at home. Why
isn't it great thing and patriotic

calves?
In Wisconsin there are $4,000 boys
and girls organized into clubs-cOrn
clubs, canning clubs, potato clubs, gar
den clubs-because it is easier to work
hard if one learns from watching
somebody else.
One Wisconsin boy, Heron Block Of
Rochester, has been working for four
years to secure the best possible seed
corn, and after he had raised 1877 bush
els to the acre in 1913 he took charge
Of all the corn on his fathers farm
and saved $4,000 ears Of high-grade
corn for seed the following year. He
has carried off ever so many prizes,
but the best thing about his work is
that it helps along the cause Of better
farming
George Ferris of Little Suamico,
Wis, did even better, for he raised 1853
bushels to the acre, and he also ia
handling seed corn for his father.
In the South there are two boys who
have held, not merely state champion
ships, nor even United States record,
but world championships. One Of
them, a South Carolina boy, raised 228
bushels Of corn to the acre and he
kept his honors for several years until
an Alabama boy, who is still holding
the world championship in corn grow
ing, went past him with a record Of
232 bushels. When one remembers

Baker Appoints A Board To Control
Manufacture Mrs. Florence
Kelley A Member

Creation of a Board of Control i'm
mediately for labor standards IN the
manufacture of army clothes, TO pre-
vent Government work being done IN
der sweatshop methods, was announced
Friday by Secretary Baker. Louis
KRISTEN of Boston is Chairman. Inc
other members are Mrs. Florence kel-
lev. General Secretary of the National
Consumers League, New York, and
Cantain Walter E Kruesi, reserve
officer of the Quartermaster Corps.
Through this board, Secretary
Bakers statement said, "the Quarter
master General will be enabled to en-
force the maintenance of sound indus
trial and sanitary conditions IN the
manufacture of army clothing, to IL
spect factories, to see that proper
standards are established on Govern
ment work, to pass upon the industrial
standards maintained by bidders in
army clothing, and act so that just
conditions prevail.

ed. Only through the establishment
of such body as the Board of Control
now created will the Government be
assured that army clothing is manu-
featured under recognized industrial
standards and in an atmosphere Of
goodwill between manufacturers anc
operatives. This alone will assure III
clothing and it's prompt delivery FOL
army needs.
Secretary Baker said he did not ex
pect any serious delay in the delivery
of army clothing as result OF th'
new plan. Some manufacturers hac
indicated, he said, that there would b'
q slight loss of time due to the stan
dardi z alton process but not enough t.
be of any Importance. The Secretary
thought the net result of the plar
would be found to expedite production
since new facilities would be opened
to the department in this way and thu
danger of labor troubles reduced.

TOBACCO NOW 80 CENTS.
Home Grown Crop Establishes New
High Water Mark.

Maryland leaf tobacco of the high
est grade is now bringing 80 cents a
pound in the local market, establish
ing a record for the homegrown crop.
The high price is believed due to the
active demand on the part of domestic
makers, who have been practically
cut of from the supplies of tobacco
they formerly obtained from foreign
countries. 1t is said that the supply
from Egypt and Turkey has been
virtually eliminated from domestic
manufacturers.
Agents of local makers have enter
ed into keen competition with buyers
for France. Italy. Holland and other
foreign countries, which have been
using the domestic crop extensively in
the past. Only the'most inferior to-
baccos now bring lower than Is cents
a pound, il is said, and the prices for
the ordinary grades range from s TO
% cents.
The Maryland crop this year will
be in the neighborhood of $4,000 hogs
heads. it is said, and it is estimated
that two-thirds of the crop from
lower Maryland has already come to
market. Although a considerable
number of shipments have been ex-
ported already, the high freight rates
have done much to reduce this class
of trade.

German Fermentation Shown
In Air Attacks On HOSPITAL.

One of the hospitals behind Verdun
on which German airplanes dropped in
cendiary bombs week ago is at Va
delaincourt. The FIRE caused by the
bombs spread rapidly to the whole
building and the glare showed up more
plainly than ever the large red cross
painted on the roof The aviator
threw a second bomb. which demolished
pavilion in which were three crews
of surgeons who were performing
operations. The surgeons nurses, and
wounded were obliged to quit the
building.
At about the same time a German
aviator attacked the hospital at Cha
teau Mont Hairons. The bomb ex-
ploded in ward filed with wounded
men, killing one Of them.
Ten wounded soldiers were killed on
the same evening at Beirupt by Ger
man shell.
Proof of generalization on the part
of the German authorities in making
these attacks is furnished by a photo
graph found on q German aviator
brought down at Dead Man Hill. The
photograph represented the vadel
aincourt hospital, with the red cross
sign indicated clearly.

note of an address here by Archbishop
Edward j. Hanna, of San Francisco,
before the American Federation OF
Catholic Societies
There will be no permanent abid-

he said until the men who sway the
destinies of nations recognize the
great moral sanctions of life, recog-
nize that the human being is more
valuable than all earth's possessions,
recognize that mercy must season JUS

by Christ, in accordance with which

. Here is q three hundred year old
prophecy, which is just now receiving
much publicity in the countries Of the
allies, It is called 1.-THE Prophecy Of
Brother Johannes. The origin of
the document is not exactly known.
The manuscript was found among the
possession of Adrien Peladsn, author
of work on Prophecies. and the
editor of a review 1.-THE Annals of the
Supernatural. The document was in
Latin and was translated into French
by son of Adrien, and was recently
published in the Paris Figaro.
According to the son, M. Peiadan
came into the possession OF the manu-
scripts through a monk of Saint
Michael de Frivolet near TarscsoD,
who in turn received it from an Abee
Donat. learned priest, who died at a
very great age.
M. Peladan, the son, deep student
on all matters appertaining to theol-
ogy. found the manuscripts in 1890 on
the death of his father, among a m ass
of other papers dealing with the gift
of prophetic vision.
Although, even at that time. he was
startled by the extraordinary vividness
of the picture drawn by Brother johann
nee, he never thought of it again until
the entrance of England into the pres
enut struggle recalled to his mind the
leopard and his claws
He rediscovered the prophecy, and
the wonderful accuracy of the descrip-
tion of the battling nations led him to
translate it,
M. Peladan believes Brother johann
mes to have been French monk who
lived and wrote in the sixteenth CEN
fury.
In deciphering the all .gory il must
be remembered that:
France is represented by a cock.
England by Leopard.
Russia by White Eagle.
Germany by Black Eagle.
Austria by the Other Eagle
The Lamb stands for Justice. Mercy
and Truth.
The Prophecy in Full.
How the Antichrist Will Be Overcome.
The following is the full text of the
prophecy:
Several times has one seemed to
recognize him because all the slayers
of the Lamb resemble each other and
all the wicked are the precursors of
the Great Wicked One.
2-The veritable Antichrist will be
one of the monarchs of the time a son
of Luther: he will invoke God and cali
himself His messenger.
