GLOUCESTER SAILORS

The Gloucester fishermen are con-
sidered the best sailors in existence.
In the old days of the whaling fleet
and of the great merchant-marine of
the United States the Gloucester lads
took important parts. Since the de-
cadence of American maritime su-
premacy the fishermen have beer
sticking to their business Of going tc
the banks for fares of cod. Most OF
the sailors of the freighters have beer
all of foreign nationality. At this
time, though, the Gloucester fisher
men are responding in force to theil
country's call for service. Captain
Sol Jacobs, seventy-nine years old, lee
bunch of recruits eager to join the
navy when the call was issued the
other day. Captain Jacobs will fine
plenty of work to do with the Nava

THE CALL OF THE SEA

A provision in the Naval Appropri-
alton Bill provides for the appoint
ment of one hundred enlisted men an
nually as midshipmen at the Naval
Academy instead of twenty-five. In
speaking of this provision Secretary
Daniels said This opens more doors
of advancement, promotion, and op-
portunity to the enlisted personnel Of
the navy. The men who have already
entered the Naval Academy from the
ranks have demonstrated the wisdom
of appointing those who have had ac-
tual experience on battleships. Aspir-
ing young men will now, in great
members, enlist in the navy because of
the larger opportunity for realising
their hopes to become naval officers.
This incentive will powerfully attract
to the service many of the most am
bilious and capable youth of the coun-
try,"

APRIL A WAR MONTH

Superstitious people, and some who
are not superstitious but merely OBJ
serving, are pointing to the fact that
with the exception IF the war with
England in 1872 every foreign war on
which the United States has been in
volved started during the month of
April. The war of the Revolution be-
gan April 10, 1775 at Concord and
Lexington. The War with Mexico be-
gan April "a, 1916. War was declared
against Spain April 21, 1898. Now
in order to add force to this state
ment, let it be considered that the
Civil War began with the Fort Sump-
ter attack April IL, 1861, and the
Black Hawk War, the greatest conflict
with Indian forces, began April 21st
1881. The first of April is at hand.

Insomnia.

Indigestion nearly always disturbs
the sleep more or less, and is often
the cause insomnia. Eat light sup
per with little if any meat, and no
milk; also take one of Chamberlain s
Tablets Immediately after supper, and
see if you do not rest much better.
Obtainable everywhere.

AVERAGE PRICES

AS stated in previous reports,
wheat seeding was very late owing to
the continued drOuth and on the set
ting in of Winter it was found the
plant had not attained STRONG set and
sufficient growth to Withstand the
rigid Winter. However, the Winter
on the whole was quite favorable.
While there was much severe cold
weather, and no doubt some killing by
being frozen, there was no alternate
freezing and thawing to upheave the
wheat roots and there was a fair
amount of snow protection during the
needed periods. The wheat roots re-
mained in the ground, and while the
tops did not show early green and
strength, there may be sufficient root
vitality to bring out fields that now
are brown and seem winter killed.
On March 1, from general appear
ance, the wheat condition was esti-
mated at 72 per cent. of an average,
but it was believed then that under
fair weather conditions an improve
ment would be shown in the next two
months. Conditions have not been un-
favorable, and the plant has shown an
improvement of eight points, being
HOW T0pOrIeu dG ou per CeIlC. OL dH
average. Wheat that has not been
absolutely killed ought now to GO
rapidly forward and it can very soon
be determined that which it will be
profitable to plow up.
Corn in the crib is in good condi-
tion, with very little complaint OF
mold. Corn was generally cribbed il
excellent condition last Fall, being
well dried out. But small amount Of
corn remained in the fields over Win.
ter, as the open weather permitted
husking most of the crop.
The fruit buds winter killed apples
most wholly to peaches, plums anC
cherries, and on these the judgmen
of correspondents varies somewhat
No doubt there has been some kill
ing of the fruit buds, but the exten
cannot be fully determined at thi
time because conditions vary great,
even in immediate localities.
The labor problem is still a seriou
one with farmers, as most young me-
prefer the city shops and factories t
farm labor. Experienced farm labo
scarce and wages corresponding
] high.

PROFESSIONAL DYNAMITER

Got any use for professional
dynamiter was the startling query
addressed to Sergeant Enk Of a
United States Marine Corps recruit
ing station by Robert S. Phillips,
who applied for enlistment today.
81 am a human torpedo" he added,
81 can blow up anything from a tin
can to battleship."
Phillips explained that things had
been quiet in his line for some time,
as engineering operations have been
practically suspended during the war.
He said that he had heard that the
Soldiers of the sea" were always first
on the spot, and that they would pro-
badly offer the best field for his tai
ents.
He was accepted and sent to
Charleston, S. c., for training and de-
tail to a mine planting company.

MILITARY STYLES.
How Blue Serge and Khaki
Are In the Front Row.

The shops have blossomed forth with
military fashions.
Just where they got all the red, white
and blue bedecked garments nobody
knows. OF course 1t was a compare
lively easy matter for some energetic
manufacturer to have strips of the three
nations colors stitched to lot Of silk
gloves or for another to have red, white
and blue pipings added to an almost
flushed batch Of organdie neckwear
But where did all the military frocks
and capes come from?
They are here, anyway, and they are
very attractive. There are khaki shirts
thatNwould be admirable for the woman
Who intends to do her part in the farm
ing world this summer. They are deco
rated with shields and other insignia in
the national colors on the pockets.
There are all sorts OF capes with a mill
tary look. Some Of them are braided;
some are trimmed generously with brass
buttons. There are blue serge frocks
that almost set one cheering, they so
suggest military parade. And 80 it
goes.
We all remember that when the
world war began Paris launched a
few military styles. They were accept
ed at first with enthusiasm, but later
on other styles superseded them. Per-
haps with all the world at war Paris
can find permanent use for military In
spiration In women's fashions. Next
August, when the openings that Paris
has so punctiliously kept up ever since
that fateful August Of 1914 occur again,
we may know.
