quartered are two story frame struc-
lures, steam heated and supplied with
electric lights, water and sewer con-
nections. The streets are paved and
well lighted and there are sidewalks
Ample fire protection is afforded.
Two temporary reservoirs located on
the hills back of the camp furnish
high pressure for fire protection. A
large permanent reservoir is in the
course of construction. Each barrack
is equipped with large water barrels
for additional fire protection, and
there is a paid civilian fire depart
ment.
Keep State Units Together.
The men will be grouped according
to state and counties. according to the
plans of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, in

Safer cracked his ankle. Then Wort

box. It was necessary to send a
''cOld" pitcher to take Mikes place

Prendergast is capable of good
pitching and was being counted on

SIMPLE PRESS FOR PAPERS
Demand for Waste Paper Gives Eco.
non1icaI Housewife Chance to
Make Extra Money.

There is great demand just now
for materials from which to make pa
per, and the housewife will do well to
save all waste paper. 1t is surprising
how much accumulates in short time.
A fair price is paid for it, and the eco
nomical housewife should turn it into
money.
Many burn their waste paper be-
cause buyers demand that it be baled.
The baling process is simple. A home
made baling press may be easily con-
structed.
Obtain a good-sized storebox, and
make slot few inches wide length
wise on the bottom. Lay in the box
three or four stout pieces of twine,
!engthwise of bottom and parallel to
each other few inches apart, leaving
ends extend over the ends Of the box
long enough to tie over bale after box
Is filled with paper.
Having done this, provide lining
for the box. This may be an old piece
of cloth, carpet, or tough wrapping pa
per, which fit to sides Of box over
strings, leaving long ends extend over
ends Of box, as with strings. Each day
deposit waste paper in the box as it
accumulates, pounding it down to
make it compact. When the box is
full, draw the ends Of the lining over
the top and fasten the strings securely.
The slot in the bottom of. the box will
enable you to force the bale out. News
papers and magazines need not be
baled-1ust tied into bundles.-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

1t was a mistake ever to have allowed
religious views as to the propriety of war,

There is no more reason why Quakers

they have forgotten how. In times
past people of all ranks sang together
as matter of course. Sailors sang at
their work, peasants, shepherds. cow
boys-all had their favorite and ap-
propriate songs. The songs Of chill
dren at games, the lullabies Of moth
ers are in the collected ballads and
folklore Of many peoples, says the In
dianapolis News.
''The pastimes and the labors of the
husbandman and the shepherd" says
Andrew Lang, "were long ago a kind
Of natural opera. Each task had its
own song; blowing, seeding, harvest,
burial-all had their appropriate bal
lads or dirges. The whole soul Of the
peasant class breethes in their bur-
dens as the great sea resounds in the
shell cast up on the shore"
Nowadays the whirl Of machinery
makes all the noise. The workers In
mills might find it unsatisfying to sing
at their work, but it is doubtful if they
would sing even if their voices could
be heard; while singing in an office or
store would pretty surely be stopped

fined to the professional performer,
drunken men and gramophones.
