CONNECTICUT TO CONTRIBUTE IN
 SAWM|LL UNIT

Connecticut has contributed one was announced today by the Connecti cut Council of Defense. Ten such units are to be sent across the water by New England, and each of the six states of this section now has given one unit. The other four are to be provided by money raised by popular subscription. At the request of Gov ernor Holcomb and the state council of defense, the state board of control has approved an appropriation of $12, 900 for this purpose.
 There is a great need in England for these sawmtll units and men to handle them, for England knows little or nothing about getting timber. The at tentfon of this country was first called to this when the Massachusetts Com mittee on Public Safety received through Vernon Wiley, an American engaged in British war service, infor- nation that England was experiencing difficulty in securing sufficient tim Der for her forces in France owing to lack of skilled lumbermen and equip ment. The cooperation of the Uni ted States War department in this work has been approved.
 The plan is to deliver to the Bri- tish government at some American port, the ten sawmill units, fully equip ped with sufficient men, horses and tools and machinery, all assembled at the earliest possible moment. The call has gone out for subscriptions to meet the $4s,000 cost of the additional un- its needed over those which the states will provide. H. G. Phi1brook, State House, Boston, Mass, is the treasurer. Several hundred men will go with the outfit and arrangements have been made with the British embassy that they shall receive wages from the time of sailing.
 Great quantities of timber are need ed ataall times by the armies in France for snoring up trenches and hundreds of other imperative war uses. By par ticipation in this plan, Connecticut and the rest of New England are helping in an important part of providing needed materials for the men on the firing line.

sIDEI1GHTs ON THE WAR.

In these days of ruthless 'submar- inc warfare when dozens of boats with valuable. cargoes of merchandise and human lives are sunk daily by Germany's monstrous fleet of Under Sea boats, it is timely to recall that 5ust 80 years ago today the British steamer Sir John Lawrence was wrecked by a typhoon in the Indian Ocean, constituting one of the most terrible sea disasters In history. up to the time of the Titanic catastrophe. Seven hundred and fifty lives. were lost, and at the time the whole world was shocked by the event.
 From time to time since the sink ing of the Sir John Lawrence history has been punctuated with a goodly quota of sea disasters. The fate of the Titanic of course is fresh in the minds of the present generation and a few years after. that the present war which has extended to this shore, de- .veloped a condition which has seen some of the finest craft ever launch ed, go to the bottom of the Atlantic and adjacent waters.
 That accidents, such as in the case of the Sir John Lawrence, and the Titanic should rob the world of its fine ships were misfortunes which. att the time, were mourned by the whole world, and few people thought ther that the f1eeting years would bring about a condition of international re- lationship which would see so many of the best merchantmen and battle ships of the different nations, use lessly and needlessly sent to the bot. tom.
 At this very time, the Council o. National Defense is engaged in the serious work of evolving some man ner in which to defeat this barbari, mode of warfare which Germany ha! cnnceiYed so that this awful seri e;

of ruthless destruction of life and property at sea might be stopped. The submarine warfare is the pivot around which the entrance into the war of the United States turned for many months and President Will sons fairmindedness in giving Ger many every chance to cease her ac- tivities on the ocean highways, com manded the respect of all nations, be- hgerent and otherwise, even after the necessity of a declaration of war be- tween the United States and Germany was seen.
 It is a coincidence also, that five years ago today, Congress passed g resolution of thanks to the officers and crew of the "Carpathia" fol rescuing the survivors of the Titanic disaster. Thus, May 2S, stands out as an important day in disasters O, the sea and modern problems of tn, sea.

Too Many People Trying To
Live Without Working.

One trouble with this country is
that We have too many people try
ing to live without work. Just
pure downright idleness. ldleness
may not be crime but it lays the
foundation for "a multitude of sins.
The boy who goes about his daily
work and keeps at his post never
gives his parents any cause for
serious worry and his name rarely
adorns the pages of the court
docket. One of the causes of hard
times and crime is that too many
people are doing nothing. just
think what it would mean if every
body worked. In that case every
body would be prosperous and
everybody could pay their debts il
they worked. Ripley Sentinel.

TWO PERIODS FOR PLANT.
ing CORN.

There are two more or less dis
tinct planting periods for the stan
dard strains of corn in Louisiana.
The first, or early period, would
approximate the 10th of March
and the second the 25th of April in
Central Louisiana. being some
what earlier in the extreme south
and five to ten days later in the
extreme northern portion of the
State. Corn planted from the 10Th
of March to the 18th of April is
very apt to be, destroyed by the
corn root worm. The second plant
ing period referred to above comes
after the first generation Of root
worms has come into the chrysalis
or resting stage. Very early corn is
generally believed to be safer than
late planted corn. exclusive of the
danger of frost. - W. r. Dodson

CLOVER BLOAT MAY
USUALLY Be PREVENTED
Cattle Should BE Changed From Dry
to Green Feed Gradually.

A sudden change from dry feed -
q green, succulent feed Of any kind is
likely to cause bloat1ng in cattle.
This is especially likely to occur when
they craze ON white clover in the
spring when it is young and green, Or
when it is in full bloom. n rapidly
ferments in the paunch, and the gas
there produced causes distension Of
this large stomach on the left side OF
the animal, with the characteristic ap-
yearance. and the general train Of
symptoms, familiar TO most cattle
owners.
Preventive measures always give
the most satisfactory results in ward
ing off this condition. When FIRST turn
Ing cattle on clover, it should be done
gradually until the digestive organs
become accustomed to the change;
and the safest way is not to permit
them to eat this succulent feed for
lsnger than twenty minutes 10 half
an hour the first day, and increase the
length of the period each day after
wards until it seems to have lost its
/ bloating effect. II is safer, also, not
70 turn the cattle on this pasture
while the dew is on it.
Another preventive method is to
give the cattle some dry feed, such as
hay. before turning them on the clio
YER This, of course, lessons the
quantity of clover consumed and tends
to prevent fermentation of the green
feed.
After a short while, when the stOm.
ach has accommodated itself to the
change from the dry to the succulent
feed. the animals may consume large
quantities of the latter without appar
ent neonvenience.-W.H H. Dalrymple

his contribution to the family,

If the contribution is less than
$40 a month, the government will
refuse to permit exemption, on
the grounds that he will receive

ton on his site was being prepar-

Gronen will send engineering
crews to the Olympics next week.
to make a complete check and sur
vey of the power site.
Mexican wants $500. 600 for HIS
site. and a new plant for the city.
with more than double the present
city plant. will cost $4,000. 900.
THE present earnings of the
light plant. with the normal In
crease in business which we can
expect. will pay all interest on the
debt and redeem the bonds In 20
years" said the commissioner Sat-
urday.
Il am perfectly willing to put
the bond issue up to vote OF the
people. and when the public ap-
preciates the absolute necessity OF
increasing its power plant, know
that the bonds will carry.
But we must proceed quickly.
and a bond election would take
much valuable time. Utility bonds
can be voted by the council, with
out being referred to the voters.
and it is the only speedy way of
charging the plant. The Lake
Cushman site is wonderful one,
and Tacoma can't afford to let 1t
