RED CROSS TO ASSIST
 FAMILIES OF ENLISTED MEN

The question having been raised as to whether the Red Cross will assis. in taking care of dependent families of soldiers and sailors called into service in this War, Mir. Henry P. Davison, Chairman, on behalf of the Red Cross War Council, authorizes the following:
 Obviously the task of providing for the financial assistance of the families of our soldiers and sailors is so large that the Government alone can assume it. In no other way can the burden be discharged fairly and as a matter of right rather than charity. No volunteer organization, or organiza- tions, could adequately cope with a duty of such magnitude.
 The American people will not, of course, permit families to suffer want because their bread-winners are fight ing for their country. Cases will un- doubtedly arise wherein the allowance of the Government will not be ade. quate to protect family from finan- cial distress. Such instances the Req Cross will hope to provide for through its Chapters.
 The Red Cross Chapters can ana will provide also the friendly services which may be needed and acceptable because of ill-health or other mis, fortune because of family condi. tions, which, if neglected, would result in need and suffering or disaster t. the home.
 That this work may be done witt thoroughness and uniformity, the Rec Cross has published "The Manual ot Home Service" for the guidance ot Chapters. This Civilian Relief wor, is under the direction of W. Franl Persons, Director General of Civilian Relief.

Not a Bad Idea

A young man went to dentist the other day to have several teeth ex- tracted. q suppose I ought to take something to deaden the pain, but I'm afraid of this gas you use," said tho prospective patient.
 The dentist treasured him and wound up with: You'll only be un- conscious two or three minutes at the most" The patient took out his pocketbook.
 "Never mind that now," said the dentist, "you can pay me when I've finished"
 q wasn't going to pay you!" ex- claimed the patient. "I was going t' count my money"

Outfit Sprays Many Acres
 of Potatoes in Day

Ten rows of potatoes are sprayed in one operation with an outfit that has been developed for large acreages. The machine is horse-drawn and mounts a 100-gal. tank, a small gas oline motor, and at the rear, folding arms that carry 16 nozzles. As des- cribed and illustrated in the Septem- Der Popular Mechanics Magazine, its operation, even, to the folding of the booms to permit passage through a gateway, is controlled from the driv- CTS seat. The wheels are adjustable to either 60 or 75-in. treads.

Last week lady from Chicago, spending the summer here, broke both lens in her glasses. She sent home for new set to be ground and in the meantime suffered badly with head ache on account of doing without them. After ten days delay the lens came and she took them into the Brown Jewelry store to have them put in the frames and was surprised to find that he had the identical lens in stock. Had she gone to Browns first she could have had her glasses back within an hour. He always has a large stock of lens in both flat and toric. Aug. 17-24

OREGON SHIP BUILDING
 " CALLS FOR LABOR
Thousands of Men at High Wages can
 Find Employment

The Secretary of the State Editorial Association of Portland, Oregon, in- forms us that Oregon's effort to do her part in the building of steel and wooden ships for the war is seriously crippled through lack of labor.
 Latest authentic information gath cred points to the necessity of em- ploying at once nearly 12,000 men in the shipbuilding business at Portland, and between two and three thousand in the yards outside. -.a..- With contracts already let and cer- tain to be placed in the near future, lit is stated by the shipbuilders that from 10000 to 25,000 men should be employed by the close of this year, O. early next year. The work is on hand to give this employment and the de- mand for ships is growing greater every day.
 The development of an industry of this magnitude so suddenly has re. suited in drawing practically all of the available men within immediate reach, and already the shipbuilders of the state are urging laborers from all parts of the West to take positions ir their plants.
 Appeals are coming from national officials and all the leading business men of the East for all seaboard states to concentrate their supreme energies upon the program of building ships This is declared to be the greatest duty confronting the nation today and on every hand it is admitted frankly, despite the optimistic statements made of the position of the allied forces, that unless ships are built by America at a pace absolutely beyond the present program the effectiveness of the United States in the European War will be largely reduced. Germany is counting implicitly upon destroying more ships than are built to prevent America from participating extens ively in the war. The submarine program is making more rapid pro- gress than the shipbuilding program For these reasons the federal govern ment of putting the building of ships as the primary patriotic duty of ths people of the country, and urging every person who can aid in the work to take it up with as much reverence and as much sense of duty as if they were enlisting in the army.
 America's food, munitions, arms and men cannot reach Europe without an adequate supply of ships. Best authorities declare these should bt built of steel and wood as rapidly a. the forces of the country can b' marshalled for the work.
 In the emergency every man wht has any mechanical or artisan ski! whatever is being adapted to some part of ship construction, wherever h' desires to work. It has been neces sary to teach labor to do classes ot work it has never undertaken before All the facilities for such instruction are being provided by the ship yards the government, and state, and mel are having an opportunity to take ul lines of employment never presente' before at the best wages that hav' been known in the Pacific Northwes and perhaps the country.

PLANS TO TEST
COUNTY SOILS
STATE EXPERIMENT STATION IS
ARRANGING FOR SOIL FER
TlLITY TESTS.
LOCAL COOPERATION NEEDED
County Demonstration Agents Are
Promoting the Establishment
OF This Valuable
Soil Work.

College Park, April 5.-Following an
extended tour of the State, DR.. A. G.
Mccall in charge of soil investigations
at the Maryland Experiment Station
is arranging through county demon
stration agents for a number of ex-
perimental fields throughout the State.
In this DR.. Mccall says:
"The Maryland Experiment Station,
through it's Department of Soils, is es-
fields in different sections of the State.
Work is already in progress at Ridg-
ley in Caroline County and at Leon
ardtown in st. Mary's County, and it
is expected that number Of addi-
tional fields will be established during
the coming season.
For many years the Experiment Sta
ton has been making a study of the
soils of the station farms in Prince
George County, and the object of the
present movement is to extend this
work to include study of the more
important soil areas of the State. The
object of these Investigations is to
secure, for the farmers of the State
definite knowledge in regard to: (D
tthe plant-food requirements of the
crops to be produced; (2) the total
Stock of plant food contained in the
soil; (3) the best methods of making
this stock of plant food elements avail
able by practical farm methods; (4)
the most practical methods of supple
menting or increasing the plant food
supply in the soil; and finally (5) the
systems of farming that will most
profitably and permanently maintain
the productive capacity of the SOIL
Each experiment field will contain
10 to 15 acres Of land divided into
series which will correspond to the
different fields of farm. Each series
will be further divided into smaller
areas, and these treated in such a
manner as to obtain very definite in
formation in regard to the needs Of
the particular SOIL Definite rotations
will be followed and the crops grown
will be those common to the locality
in which the field is located.
The limited funds at the disposal of
the Experiment Station makes it i'm
possible to establish experimental
fields in all of the counties or to work
on all Of the different soils in any
county, but the work will be extended
as rapidly as the funds will permit.
Farmers or other business men who
are interested in this soil improvement
work should consult their County Ag-
ricultural Agents regarding the estab-
lishment of fields in their county"
