THE SAFE FARMING PROGRAM.

THE SAFE FARMING PROGRAM.
 1. A home garden for every fam
 fly on the farm. From one-tenth to
 one-fourth sacre, well located, well
 titled and tended as carefully as
 any other crop on the farm, plant
 ed in rotation to time the vege-
 table crops so as to have contin-
 uous supply for the family table as many days in the year as pos sible. To this should be added one fourth of an acre of potatoes, eith- CT Irish or sweet, or both, to be- of sorghum or sugar cane should be produced to supply the family with syrup if means can 'be found for grinding the cane and making the syrup. 2. Produce enough corn on each farm to last the family and the livestock with certainty for one year, with a little excess. for safety.
 8. Produce sufficient oats and other small grain to supplement the
 corn as food for one year with cer- tainty, remembering that these
 small grains conserve the soil in winter and provide some grazing | for livestocck.
 A. Produce the hay and forage crops necessary to supply the live stock on the farm for one year, l with little excess for safety, not | forgetting the legumes which add | fertility to the soil and produce the best hay.
 ,. Produce the necessary meat,
 eggs and milk for the family. The
 meat should be produced by in
 creased attention to poultry and hogs because of the rapidity with which these can be produced. Every family should have at least two cows so that one can be in milk all of the time. A sufficient num-
 Der of brood sows should be kept to produce the pork for the fam fly, with some excess for sale. The

 '. Plant to sell or exchange the surplus products of the garden, the orchard, the poultry, the livestock, the eggs and the feed crops, to cover the necessary running expenses or the farm and save the cotton as the real cash crop.

A LESSON IN PATRIOTISM.

J. D. Goldman of the Lesser Goldman Cotton Co.,, St. Louis has sent circular letters to employees of the company, urging that all abe-bodied men connected with the Company respond to President Wilson's appeal for army and navy recruits Mr. Gold man is brother of Mrs Joe Wolf and Mrs. s. L. Jo- seph of this city There were 21 members of the Gold ma, family, all having been born in Germany Mrs. Wolf is youngest of the twenty-one, and Mr. Goldman oldest the latter being now 72 years of age.
 Mr. Goldman's proposal with reference to navy and army enlistment embraces guarantee to pay onehaf the present salary of such empoye during the period ot absence gether with that the same posi- tion or O. onmanding equal salary, will be return ed at the e. ton of service
 splendid spirit of patriotism and devotion to the nation which has given him protection for many years is shown in MT. Goltlmans proposal It serves to com petey refue the otrepeaed assertion that in the event of war between the United States and Germany all peoples of German extraction should be looked upon with suspicion Mr. Goldman has proved his allegiance to the American Union During the Civil War he served with an Arkansas regiment and rendered distinguished service As an individual at the head of massive bs ness organization he has contributed to the material progress of his country and today an American cit gen. although born in Germany, he is found enthusiastic ally calling upon his employees to volunteer their services in defense of the land of the free and the home of the brave The patriotic enthusiasm displayed by Mr. Goldman should shame thousands of natve-born Americans who, although decryng anything which may partake of Germany not themselves willing to stand the test and throw portion of their into the common melting pot. We shall expect to see other Ger man-bom Americans follow the splendidy patriotic ex ample set by Mr. Goldman, who sees in the approaching struggle demands for united people, It is not fair to assume that American citizens of German extraction will deny this nation their support in it's trying hours It is not today matter of right wrong between the Central Powers and the Allies in Europe. We of the United States are involved to such extent that backdown is not only impossible, but undesirable. We have right to expect that the millions in wealth mulated between the waters of the Atlantic and the Pa cfic by men from Germany who for years have labored without moestaon under the Stars and Stripes of Freedoms Flag will be available for the protection of that same flag.

1t must not be supposed that an APP
prentice seaman continues long to draw
simply the amount Of his first pay. His
first raise comes in the seaman branch,
and If he Is in the fireroom he gets an
additional sum.
The navy needs men who are trained
or partly trained in the various trades.
Men who are proficient along certain
lines and who come within certain
limits of ages are enlisted for specific
purposes in the navy. They are given
pay in accordance with standards set
for the different lines Of endeavOr
which they must follow. Full informa-
ton concerning eniistments of this
kind can be had at any recruiting Of

Rate Of Pay in Navy.
The law increasing the pay Of the
men in the navy has just been enacted
and the pay tables under the new dis
pensatiOn have not yet been made out,
but 1t Is simple thing to determine
the rate Of pay of each seaman Of
whatever class by adding to the pay
given in the accompanying table the
amount Of increase in each case. The
increased pay allotment has Just gone
into effect. Below Is given the navy
wage table, with the pay as 1t stood
prior to the recent act Of congress. In
order to know what each mans pay
now Is, it is only necessary to know
that every man now drawing less than
sol month will receive an increase Of
SIS month; that every man drawing
ut present from $50 to 1924 month, in
elusive, will receive $12 a month addi-
tional; that every man drawing more
than $24 and less than $45, will receive
So month additional, and that every
man drawing at present $45 or more
month will receive So a month addi-
tional pay.
It should be borne In mind that the
apprentice seaman, the ordinary boy
recruit, who ordinarily gets $178O a
month. will be receiving ut the time
that this is read SIS additional, max
ing his pay $500.
Here Is the pay table as it stands
today regardless Of the increases which
congress has ordained.

MOTTO: ALWAYS FAITHFUL
The Recruit Entering Service Today Is
Paid $50 q Month and the Opportu-
mites for Advancement Are
Numerous.
BY EDWARD q. CLARK.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in the Fight" Is
the wartime slogan Of the United
States marines, while "Semper FL
delis," always Faithful" is their
motto In peace and war.
So it would seem that If good works,
coupled with faith, secure mans sal
walton, there must be some reason as
well as rhyme In the last four lines Of
the Marine corps hymn:
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heavens scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded by
The United States Marines.
Recently Uncle Sam has ordered an
increase in the number Of his marines
to war strength Of 10000 men,
which numerically means 1000 more
men than there are in a division Of
troops Of the United States army.
There Is room In the marines, there
fore, for any stalwart young Ameri-
can between the ages Of eighteen and
thirty-five who wishes to be q soldier
and sailor in one, to be first In the
fight. and to be able to prove that he
Is always faithful to the ideals Of hui
mainly and the ideals Of his country.
In the present war the American be-
lief is that the two are one.
When congress recently increased
the pay Of the army 1t also increased
the pay Of the navy and Of the Ma
rine corps. The recruit today who en-
tiers the Marine corps will receive $50
a month pay, an increase Of SIS over
the pay in the more or less piping
times of peace. More than this, If he
goes to sea. which unquestiOnably will
be his lot, he will receive 20 per cent
additional. and it Is generally account
ed that In this war time the 20 per
cent increase will be continued while
the marine Is on land in foreign
country holding up his end for the
United States.
What is the marine? This is one of
the questions in little catechism is
sued by the officials of the corps. The
answer Is that the marine is soldier
Of the sea.
The marine Is q soldier and q sailor,
and yet he Is neither. He Is sort Of
a two-fsted fighting rover. He goes
everywhere by land or by sea to the
last outpost Of civilization and beyond

MARINES ARE ALWAYS FIRST IN FIGHT

If 1t is necessary for the service Of
protection Of the American flag and Of
the upholdlng of the rights Of American
people.
The Marine corps is curious In way
In its formation. It has more men In
Its ranks than an army division, and
yet in way Its organization Is that
Of regiment, although 1t has a ma
jor general commandant and several
army, 1t has Its colonies, It's lieutenant
colonies, its majors, and Its captains.
The Marine corps, big as 1t is, with
It's 10000 men in war time, keeps a Pc
cullar organization, because Its fight
ers necessarily are divided into COM
paratively small detachments.
Under the command Of Colonel Doy-
en- Of the Marine corps 1000 soldiers
Of the sea soon will be in the trenches
In France. These men, 1t has been
announced, were added to the prelim-
mary force which 1t is intended to
send into France because the govern
ment recognized the right Of marines
to live up to the meaning of their war
time slogan, First in the Fight"
Mon Needed for Marines.
The United States government wants
men for Its Marine corps. 1t hopes that
it will not be necessary to draw from
the ranks Of the selectve service
army the men needed to complete the
complement Of the soldier-sailor organ
ization. It wants volunteers. The at
fractions Of service in the marines are
many. There are chances, and good
ones, for the enlisted men to be rec
commended for student course ut An
napOlIs, there to be educated and
trained and upon graduation to re-
ceive a commission either In the Ma
rine corps or In the navy. The law
also provides for the promotion Of
noncommissiOned officers to warrant
rank in the grades Of marine gunners
and quartermaster's clerk. Such Off
GERS receive from $1,125 to $500 a
year, and are entitled to the same
privileges of retirement as warrant
officers In the navy.
There is a chance for marines to
make money in addition to their pay.
Mess stewards, mess sergeants, mess
men, clerks, and men assigned to avia-
ton duty receive amounts varying
from $3.50 to SIS per month in addi-
ton to their base pay. There are pro-
visions for increased pay for men who
qualify as expert riflemen, as marks
men and as sharpshooters.
The Marine corps Is the oldest army
service of the United States, having
been organized before the army and
the navy. Every man who enters 1t Is
given his food, his clothing, bis lodg-
ing, and his medical attendance.
The country needs volunteer ma
rines for a service that Is First at
the Front and Always Faithful,

OF Americans citi7ens.
All stewards and cooks Of the mess

and hold certificates Of qualification,
receive $3.50 a month In addition to
the above rates Of pay.
Navy Needs Men.
The United States today Is at war.
The government officials are looking
to the young men Of the country to
come to the help Of that democracy
which means liberty. There are rear
admlrals and captains In the United
States navy today who rose to their
high rank Of command from the posi-
ton Of naval apprentice. Rear Ad-
miral William III. H. Switzerland once
was naval apprentice. Capt. John
Emil Roller was naval apprentice.
"There Is always room at the top" Is
a saying that Is credited originally to
the sea service. Uncle Sam needs re-
cruits to help sustain the honor Of his
flag. The sea and it's service have a
holding charm for men of red blood.

AERO OPROSPECTING
FOR GOLD IS IDEA
. OF WOMAN BROKER

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Prospecting
for gold by aeroplane is Job quite
out OF the ordinary, but that is what
Mrs. Frances X. Dyas is going to try.
Mrs. Dyas lives in Prescott, Ariz-,
and she holds the record OF having
been the first woman in the State
to obtain a license as a stock broker.
She was able to get the license be-
cause of her maxim that woman can
do anything she wants to, provided
she makes up her mind to do it
AZ came to New York." she said, ITO
interest folks in several propositions,
and after 1 had been here awhile
saw the first aeroplane 1 had ever
seen in my life. This caused me TO
wonder whether couldn't fly one and
whether It wouldn't be practicable to
use 1t in flying over the deserts In
Arizona to get to distant mountains
where I know ore is to be found.
THE mountains have particular
reference to are the Bradshaw range,
sixty miles across a big desert and
full of rich gold ore. II has, however,
never been gone over on account OF
its inaccessibility, and this 1 hope to
remedy by means OF an aeroplane.
Ore brought back by Indians from
this range has been assayed at 81 900
a ton.
"You see," Mrs. Dyas continued.
"the desert is of sand, in which you
sink to your knees. 1t has been al
most impossible to carry supplies
across II. But l am sure the aeroplane
idea will prove practicable"
