America Gifts
to Europe

If the products OF American in
ventiOns could be taken from the
armies and navies now confronting
each other in Europe. the combat
ants would stand naked, unshod,
unfed and powerless.
The grain that feeds them was
sown, reaped. threshed, and ground
by American inventions. The cloth
ing for their vast armies was put
together by American sowing ma
chimes. The cotton in il was sep
arated by an American cotton gin.
Their shoes are made by American
machines.
AS 10 the weapons. the revolver
is an American invention, the
breechloading gun is an American
invention, the magazine gun is an
American invention. The iron-clad,
the revolving turret. the torpedo.
are American inventions. The sub
marine is an American invention.
The electric light in camp and
trench. the telephone that reports
and takes orders. the telegraph that
calls for supplies. the cable that
hooks up Ally and Ally are all
American.
The barbed wire that defends the
trenches. the tanks that override
them. the airplane that recOnnoiters
and fights above them are American
inventions. And when the wounded
accurate surgery possible is an
American discovery. And finally the
ambulances that carry the wounded
to the hospitals are motor cars from
Detroit.
America has given great gifts TO
Europe. But she has one more gift
her greatest-yet TO give. Her other
gifts have been material gifts and
they have been given indiscriminate-
ly TO the nations who are fighting

Americas greatest gift TO Europe
is the blood OF Americas youth. shed

Unless America gives men to Eu-

Popcorn growing can be made a
profitable fad for the home garden

national emergency food garden
commission of Washington. Children
take 10 popcorn culture. If they can
be induced TO plant popcorn this
year as a business, planning to mar
ket their crop after popping il next
winter. they can show a good cash
profit from a small plot of garden
ground.
A garden space 40 feet long and
20 feet wide will produce enough
popcorn to sell for $50 in fve-cent
packages after it is popped. Popcorn
is more than a confection-it is a
valuable food. better than mum rous
kinds of breakfast food.
About the time the oak trees be-
gin 20 show leaves is the time to
plant popcorn. Rice corn, with un-
even kernels is probably the best
general purpose popcorn. Warm,
well-drained soil spaded eight inches
or more deep, and we'll titled on the
surface is best for popcorn Do not
plant too thickly. eight or ten inches
apart in the row being close enough
for the stalks. If the soil is a little
moist the seeds will sprout sooner

that give frequent wedding and Gull

The curing Of harvested popcorn
is important II too moist or too dry

well not to gather the ears until
the husks are white and the stalks
are beginning to dry. Then husk
from the standing stalk, and spread
out the ears for curing in n we'll

his danger they formed life line from
the shore to the center of the stream
where the man had gone down and were
able to bring his body ashore. He was

BIG FLAGS UNFURLED.
At Barclay Bros and c. w. Mcmillan
Sons Granite Plants.

A patriotic ceremony worthy Of emu
lation by other granite manufacturers OF
Barre was carried out at the plant OF
Barclay Bros. this morning when every
workingman on the company's payroll
joined in flag raising exercises that had
for their prime purpose the elevation OF
the colors on 40 foot staff recently
erected over the main building. The ex-
ercises took place a few minutes after
the o'clock whistles had sounded and
while the flag was being run up many
voices were lifted in "The Star Span
gled Banner" 1t was an inspiring spec
tacle and one well calculated to stimu-
late patriotic impulses. The men gath
cred in the yard and at given signal
Reid and Gordon Barclay, sons of Will
liam Barclay, hoisted old glory into posi-
ton. In the same moment Karl For
sell, the eornetist, began to play the
national anthem and good, healthy voices
joined in singing the words. Mr.. Bar
clay had spoken briefly to the men and
after the singing the working crew, led
by James Murray, lent their lungs to a
rousing salute of three cheers and a
tiger. Happily the sun shone as if to
offer a patriotic Precipitation for its de-
linquency of many days and in its warm
ing glow the flag rode the morning
breezes for the first time.
First among the manufacturers to pro-
vide a flagstaff and follow it with an
appropriate dtdication, Barclay Bros,
having taken the first step, secured at
their special order, an American flag
with dimensions Of 10 and Is feet. As
it flies to-day it is nearly 100 feet above
ground and may be discerned at
considerable distance.
Another large flag was thrown to the
breeze in the northern part of the city
shortly after quitting time in the stone
sheds this morning when a handsome EN-
blem of the United States was raised
over the granite plant of c. w. Mcmillan
& Son on Blackwell street. The flag
rides from perhaps the highest staff in
the city. To hoist Old Glory toward
the clouds, Charles Chapman and David
White placed the staff on top Of the der
rick mast. The derrick mast is so feet tall
and the addition placed on the top meas
ures 20 feet-making lofty perch for
the flag and making it possible for the
emblem to be seen for long distance.
The flag itself measures 10 by feet
and was thrown out this forenoon amid
a patriotic demonstration.
