Red CrossNOtes

Mrs. Will Painter will have charge
OF the collecting of all old table linen,
white bed spreads and old white cotton
in the city and her committee will make
house to house canvass.
The Red Cross Benefit Dance given
at the Armory Tuesday night was a
great success. We wish to extend our
thanks to the committee in charge, the
decorating and refreshment committees,
also to the Metropole Orchestra for the
delightful music The "pinches" were
plentiful but everyone payed their fines
without murmur. The receipts for
the evening were:-Punch, $40; Sher-
bet, Ice Cream, Cake and Fines, 5000;
Tickets, $44.55; Total, $60.15.

crooks, il is advisable to cover the tor
with cloth soaked in melted paraffin
Put the cover in place before the paraf
fin hardens.
The second method, which may be
used with barrels or kegs is to pack the
container as full as possible and then
replace the head. In using this meth
cd for fermentation of beets, cucum-
bers, or string beans, add the board
and weights as described above and

ing. During this period most OF the
gas first formed escapes and the con-
tainer then may be headed up tight,
first removing the board and weights.
Then bore an inch hole in the head and
fill the barrel with brine, allowing no
air space. Allow bubbles to escape.
Add more brine if possible, and plug
the vent tight. If the barrel does not
leak, fermented products put up in this
manner will keep indefinitely.
After sealing with paraffin the con-
tainers should be set where they will
not be disturbed until the contents are
to be used. Any attempt to remove
them from one place to another may
break the paraffin seal and necessitate
resealing. If the containers are not
opened until cold winter weather, the
vegetables should keep without spoil
age until they are used up. If opened
in warm weather, they are likely to
spoil quite rapidly unless the paraffin
is reheated and the containers resealed
Immediately. In the case of cucumbers
and chayotes, it is preferable, if
enough material is available, to use the
method of packing in kegs or barrels,
as described above.
Only those vegetables which can not
be kept by storing or early ones that
are not available later in the season,
should be preserved. Late beets, for
example, can be better kept in the
cellar.
The method Of putting up cabbage
by fermentation has a number OF ad-
vantages over the present process of
making sauer-kraut and is described in
another article.
A circular describing the fermenta-
ton method is now available for dis
tribution from the States Relations Ser
vice OF the United States Department
OF Agriculture.

A SUPERSTITION
HARD TO COMBAT

Ann Arbor, July 2.--One of the hard
est superstitions the State Anti-tuber-
culosis Society has to combat in its fight
against Michigan's most universal
disease is the idea that night air is in
furious. Even at this time Of year the
society's visiting nurses find numerous
people who sleep with their bedroom
windows either closed or else opened
so slightly that 1t is hardly worth men,
tioning.
"Anything done for health usually
becomes valuable only as 1T becomes
more or less automatic, said one Of the
nurses, and that is why the habit of
sleeping with windows open is so i'm
portant. 1t should be Just that--a habit
not something that requires remember
ing at night. Opening the bedroom
window should be as automatic as
winding ones watch before going to
bed. Then the sleeper is always sure
of good supply of pure air during at
least third of his life.
"a still better habit to form is that Of
sleeping out Of doors. But compare
lively few people have as yet reached
that stage Of development. For the
mass of the people the main thing Is to
get all the night air possible. During
the day many cannot regulate the ven-
tilation of the rooms in which they
work, but all can control II at night"

RED CROSS RALLY AT IRON.
TON FRIDAY EVENING.

Last Friday evening large crowd
assembled at the Grange Hall al
Ironton for Red Cross Rally, planned
by the group recently organized there.
A fine surprise was given the Ironton
people when a dozen or more auto
loads from East Jordan arrived.
Among them was the band boys who
played a number of selections outside
the Hall.
Mr.. Price, chairman of the entertain
ment committee presided. The pro-
gram was opened by singing "Star
Spangled Banner" Miss Margaret
Hammond, draped in large flag, sang
the verses, and the audience joined
heartily in the chorus.
Rev. C. E. Taggart, of Charlevoix
offered prayer and then Mr.. Price an
nounced that Lieut.. Spring Of Co. 81, "
had been unavoidably detained in
Charlevoix, getting recruits for Co. l.
and therefore would not be one of the
speakers as expected. The other
speakers were from East Jordan.
Rev. Robt. Sidebotham and Miss May
Stewart each gave very able addresses,
making strong appeals for workers in
the Red Cross, and telling of the neces-
sity Of this work and the great amount
of good done blythe organization, both
in peace and war.
Miss Louise Loveday, reader, then
closed the program with short double
number, "Old Glory" by James Whit
comb Riley, and "Your Flag and My
Flag" by Wilbur d. Nesbitt. These
poems are full of patriotism and honor
to the flag and were beautifully rem
dered.
About thirty new members were
added to the group.
Ice cream and cake were served and
nice little sum realized for their Red
Cross fund.

East Lansing, Mich, July S+fsnement
conditions and overcrowding OF chick.
ems in unhealthy coopsare things which
poultrymen Of Michigan should abolish
il they seek profitable production at
this time of the year. the poultry de-
partment of the Michigan Agricultural
college announces.
In a primer for poultrymen, just
issued, the department says this:
This is the time of the year when
pullets which we counted on to become
winter layers are in greatest danger Of
receiving a setback. Better than the
ordinary care should therefore be
given them now.
"Look to the weter supply. Not only
should it be plentiful but it should as
well be kept in the shade. Diseases
which affect the pullets are transmitted
to many flock through the drinking
water. The supply should be pure and
be given in perfectly clean vessels. It
should never be given growing stock
when its temperature is below so de-
grees Fahrenheit.
"There must be plenty Of food and II
should be of the highest quality. Sound
and bright grain should be in it. A
good grain ration for July may be made
up OF two parts by weight of wheat and
one part of corn. II wheat is not avail
able, use barley. A mash may be COM
posed Of equal parts by weight ofwheat
bran and ground oats, to which has
been added is per cent by weight Of
good meat or fish scrap.
Provide plenty Of shade. The ideal
place to grow pullets is in the middle
of cornfield. Such a situation is
excellent for a colony house. The
pullets may destroy to large extent
the growing crop within rod Of the
building, but not more.
"A wheat field will raise pullets
which will lay most heavily.
"Do not overcrowd the pullets at
night. Allow s inches perch space for
each pullet. Overcrowding means
overheated birds, and this may lead to
their catching colds, which often de-
velop into roup.
keep the pullets healthy. Keep
them sharp for food. Keep them grow
ing A full crop now means full egg
basket next winter. Leghorns will pro-
duce eggs when they are 5 months old,
and Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, and
Rhode Island Reds will commence lay

"Sort the pullets when they are IL
weeks old. Remove the weak ones and
those which seem slow in maturing. A
well raised pullet will produce while
poorly raised one will be disappoint-

SUMMER HEAT
is DANGER in
TRANSPLANTING
Soil Should be left Attached to
Roots When Plants are Moved.

East Lansing, Mich, July 3-Gar-
deners who plan to do some trans
planting during the hot weather days
must bear in mind, if they expect sue
cess to attend their efforts, that plants
must be protected during the moving
process, say horticulturists of the
Michigan Agricultural College.
Especial precautions must be taken
to keep the plants from suffering a
lack of moisture when transplanting is
undertaken at this season of the year, F"
the garden men point out. "First, the
plants should be thoroughly watered in
the seed bed several hours before they
are to be transplanted. Lift the plants
with some soil attached to prevent in
jury and escape OF moisture from the
roots. Keep the plants covered while
moving them to the garden or field.
Transplant as quickly as possible after
removing from the seed bed. To pre-
vent the rapid Transportation of moisture
from the plant itself, remove at least
one-third to one-half of the leaf sur
face.
"If the soil is very dry and it is
necessary to apply moisture directly to
each plant as it is set, it is preferable
to place the water around the roots
rather than to apply il from the surface
after the plant is set. Be sure that the
soil is we'll firmed around the roots,
and finally draw small amount of
loose dry soil around the plant to pre-
vent the escape Of moisture. Cultivate
or hoe frequently to preserve this soil
much around the plants"

A series of powerful advertisements
is appearing in the papers of this Sec
ton to assist in recruiting for Company
OF the 33rd Michigan Infantry, the
Northwestern Michigan company which
is being recruited in this district. These
ads are likely to cause the young man
of military age to stop and think seri-
ously of his position.
One OF the displays discusses "Self-
respect" and after saying that self
respect is more precious than great
riches, puts it up squarely to the young
men. II asks them whether they can
stay out OF the ranks and retain their
self-respect, quite sure in their minds
that they do not deserve the hated term
'slacker."
What do your friends think of you?'
is one merciless query and what do
you think of yourself?" is another
equally as searching.
The men who read the advertise
ments may be honestly in doubt, and in
that event they are urged TO consult
the recruiting officer for Company /,
who will be at the armory, East Jordan
to receive visitors. No young man who
talks TO the officer commits himself to
any course of action by making in
quiries. The recruiting officer will
treat him courteously and fairly.
The War Preparedness Board is
working with Company |, 33rd Michi-
gan Infantry, to recruit the company to
war strength. Nearly 100 men are
needed. Until they are secured, North
western Michigan's company is at a
disadvantage in the performance Of its
duty. II is now in the. Federal service
Somewhere in Michigan" having
been kept on duty since it was called
out more than year ago.
Though the headquarters of this COM
pany are at East Jordan, the young
men who compose it come in large num-
bers from adjoining counties. Recruits
are being secured over this entire
district. Fourteen counties between
Lake Michigan and the northern GEN.
tral part OF the state have as much
interest in the company as has East
Jordan.
The editor OF this paper is interested
in seeing the company recruited in
record time to war strength, and will
be glad TO give information and advice
to any young men desiring to join it.
Arecruiting officer will be on duty at
the armory in East Jordan, and pros
pective recruits will be transported free
of charge from their homes to the COM
pany station and from there to the pres
ent location OF the company.
~ feel peculiar interest in Com.

II needs. While | was acting as adiutant

OF that act ever since, because the CON-
pany has always been very efficient"
Major M. j. Phillips OF Owosso, who
is acting as assistant to Major Roy e.
Vandercook, secretary of the War Pre-
paredness Board, made the above state
ment, in discussing the drive" which
is now being conducted to get 100 men
for Company |.
1.-THE Board has directed that con-
siderable time, effort and money be ex-
pended in bringing the company up to
war strength" said Major Phillips"
