CANNING FACTORY GETS
READY ACREAGE WANTED.

Mr. Schorer OF the Canning Com
pany announces that 800 acres have
been secured to date but that at least
400 are wanted. The reason for this
is that sweet corn is very high and
contracts can be secured for 5000
cases at $1.25 per dozen if the acre
age can be found to back the con-
tracts up. Already nearly 5000 cases
have been sold at 81 and $1.10 per
dozen. Last week Chas. Block and
Ed. Olson, farmers living west of the
city, each contracted for ten acres.
Others wanting to put in a profit
able crop should get in touch with
Mr.. Schorer at once as the time is
now short.

RUNS WITHOUT SPARK
CHICAGO MEN NOW MAKING MO-
TOR THAT RUNS ON ALMOST
ANYTHING-NO IGNITION.

While in Chicago last week, the
Mr.. E. B. Blakely, combustion en-
CINE engineer, who described new
"Thermol" engine now being market
ed. This engine according to Mr..
Blakely will revolutionize the COM
bustion engine business and go a
long way to solve the power problem.
The "Thermol' engine is the inven-
ton of r. M. Hvid, naturalized AM
erican but a native Of Denmark. Mr..
Hvid pronounced Veed) lives in Chi
cago and has offices there. His ma
chine is made to run commercially
on kerosene or solar oil (this last is
unrefined kerosene) but it will also
operate on any oil that contains heat
units. Experiments have been sue
cessfully made with lard oil, olive. oil,
gas tar, and even butter! 1t has &C
tually operated on all these substanc-
es It has thermal efficiency of 38
per cent or in other words extracts
38 per cent of the heat units for &C
tual use out of each 100 put in. This
is considered high as a steam engine
for instance has but about ID per
cent.
Mr.. Blakley says that the new en-
CINE has an efficiency of twice the or
binary kerosene engine and four times
that of a gasoline engine. In other
words it will run four times as long
for tho camn exnnnSa for fuel An
other thing is that it has no magnetic
or sparkling arrangement of any sort
The combustion is derived through
the fact that air becomes intensely

400 Of the engines have been solo
and are now in use in various parts
of the country They are giving gooC
satisfaction but will be CAREFUL,

Blakely says that all the farmer ha
to do is put in his oil and crank hi

VAST CITIZEN ARMY NEEDED FOR
H. THIS IMPORTANT WORK.-A
WOMAN'SI CHANCE.
This war means real business.

his war means real business.
The WOman's Patriotic League, I'M
der directions of the State Council OF
Defense, is setting about organizing
Red Cross branch here, and soon
the work will be in full swing.
Presently Lancaster boys will be
marching away and everyone will be
asking, What can | do?" The one
thing that every man woman and
child in Grant county can do to help
in this struggle of democracy against
autocracy, is to join the American
Red Cross.
The American Red Cross is par
tlcularly for American soldiers and
their families. 1t is in no wise a char
1ty, but should be considered a priv
llege as we'll as an obligation.
The President of the United States
is head of the Red Cross, and it's &C
counts are audited by the war depart
ment. It's flag is recognized on every
battlefield. Wherever there is human
need, the Red Cross flag goes to the
front and stays there.
The impression prevails in some
quarters that joining the Red Cross
means deep obligation like laying
oneself liable to being bundled off to
the front for field duty without warn
ing. Nothing could be farther from
the truth. Merely joining the Red
Cross does not obligate one to lift so
much as a finger personally What
it does do is to holm IN raise tho Pod
Cross membership to the desired war
strength. Those who can, will then
enroll for service, which does not
mean active field service, though in
cidentally the Red Cross is the only
body recognized as competent by the
government in supplying nurses for
active service in war times. Women
in their homes can be Of invaluable
assistance in knitting, preparing surg
ical dressings, etc.
AS soon as the work is inaugural
ed IN Lancaster, definite outlines o.
activities expected will be forthcom-
ing. In the meantime, be one of the
first 500 in Lancaster to pledge Red
Cross membership. Memberships NAV
be had all the way from 81 to 800
The best membership, if you don't
feel able to subscribe for a higher
amount, is the two dollar one, for
with that you get the Red Cross mag
azine, and by it are kept advised Of

OBSERVE BABY WEEK
EVENT CREATED INTEREST ALL
OVER THE CITY AND EXCEL
LENT PROGRAMS RENDERED.

Much interest was created last week
by the observance Of Baby Welfare
week, under the auspices of the Wo-
mans Club. Many of the store win
doWs featured baby goods and Baby
Welfare posters were everywhere in
evidence
Thursday evening a number of films
from the university extension diyi-
sion on baby welfare and home by
giene were viewed by a good sized
crowd. Several excellent musical
numbers added to the pleasure of
this meeting.
I The principal observance of the
week came on Saturday afternoon.
The assembly room of the north school
was crowded with women, many of
them from the country, accompanied
by; small children.
DR. j. III. Fowler gave an instruct
i've talk on Child Welfare, in which he
urged regular habits for the baby
and clothing suited to the weather.
Among other pertinent suggestions
offered by DR.. Fowler were:-The
baby is not plaything.
Learn to distinguish between the
cry of distress and the wilful cry.
Let the baby sleep in the fresh air
being particular as to screens in SUM
mer.
Let the baby creep-in a baby pen
or on the foor-if it is Clean
Don't force him to walk before he
is ready.
Talk English to the baby-not baby.
talk.
Mrs. Fowler gave a demonstration
of the proper way to dress a baby,
and the proper clothing. Mrs. Fowler
demonstrated on large baby doll,
using a perfect layette sent out by
the Presbyterian hospital in Chicago,
where Mrs. Fowler formerly was
nurse.
Mrs. Fowler gave many practical
suggestions which were listened to
with intense interest by the many
mothers present. She had layettes of
fifty years ago or more, loaned by
Lancaster women, by means of which
she demonstrated the changes that
baby clothes have undergone in a,
half century
DR.. J. c. Doolittle was unable to be
present and his subject Child Feed
ing" was given by Mrs. Doolittle.
Mrs. DoOlittle spoke Of the import
ance Of proper feeding, and the bear
ing it has on the child's future de-
velopment. Natures method Of feed
ing was declared best. When artif-
cial means are employed, greatest
care should be exercised in the ster-
ilizatiOn Of bottles and nipples.
Mrs Ira Murphy read paper,
Shall the Child Ruler" which was
full of sound sense, and gave the mo-
theirs present food for thought
One Of the most delightful features
of the afternoon was a patriotic song
and flag drill by Miss Glubkas pri-
mary pupils, followed by a May day ex-
ercise that won enthusiastic applause.
