TEACHING SOLDIERS TO SING
Soldiers at Fort Shafter Learn Words
and Airs Of Americas War Songs
From Movie Screen.

There is one officer on Oahu, saws
the Sunday Advertiser of Honolulu, ac-
cording to the Army and Navy Journal,
who is q firm believer in the value of
song as military asset to the soldier.
Col. James A. Irons, commanding the
Second United States infantry, believes
so thoroughly in the importance of hav-
ing soldiers know the songs of the ma
tion-particularly the war songs-that
he has provided means Of teaching
the men Of his regiment just what the
war songs of America are.
The method which Colonel Irons has
started at Fort Shafter is one which
should be used throughout the army.
1t consists of having national and pa
triotic airs played by the orchestra
at the evening performances at the air
drome-Fort Skaters moving picture
theater-while the words are thrown
upon the screen where the men can
read them. In this way the soldiers
become acquainted with the words Of
the songs, and what is equally impor.
Ing together. The soldiers are enthusi-
astic over the new plan and the sing
ing is worth going far to hear. It is
not impossible that, sometime within
the service Of the men who are now
serving the second infantry, that regi-
ment may be called on to march from
Bordeaux to Berlin, and that the march
will be made easier and the spirit of
the men at the end of the hike will be
far better If it is made to the tune of
"Annfe Laurie"-the regimental an
them-sung by every man in the regi-
ment.
Cards have been issued from the
regimental press printing the words of
"Annie Laurie" and the "Star Spangled
Banner" and the list Of 80 battles,
engagements and skirmishes in which
the Second infantry took part. The
first was in November, 1901, at Mau-

BIRDS AID IN WAGINe WAR
Their Work In Increasing Crop Yields
by Destroying Insect Pests De.
clared Highly important.

Food is needed for our armies. Birds
help the farmers produce that food by
destroying insect pests, Therefore,
birds may he considered as one of the
allies. In the Farm and Fireside one
reads:
"Birtls are almost as busy as bees,
and their work in increasing crop
yields is highly important. One of the
cheapest and most effective ways to
fight insect pests that annually take
crop toll estimated at $S0O.O0O,OOO is
TO aid in the preservation of bird life.
Few people realize how many insects
are destroyed by birds. A teaspoonful
af chinch hugs has been taken from
the crop of one quail. and an adult
bird has been known to eat 5000 plant
lice in two hours. Such worms and
ougs as infest our gardens are favor
lite food for bluebirds, robins and many
other kinds of birds.
1T is true that some insect pests
may be fought with chemicals. Owing
to the great war, though, prices for
many materials commonly used in
sprays, washes and poison mashes are
pretty near prohibitive. But the birds
work at before the war wages.
Birds also eat thousands Of weed
seeds. A single quail. when killed, was
found to contain 10000 pigweed seeds.
With labor scarce and high. whatever
will aid the farmer in his crop against
weeds is worth WHILE"

MISTAKEN FOR GRAND DUKE

New Ideas in Graduation Frocks

If 1t were not for net, crepe geor-
gette might be said to hold first place
In the esteem of fashion for mid
summer dressy frocks, and If 1t were
not for crepe georgette, we would GER
talnly concede that distinction to net.
AS it is they flourish with equal sue
cess and appear side by side in the
most enchanting dresses.
But when it comes to choosing ma
terials for graduation frocks there is
nothing quite so we'll liked as net II
Is sprightly and youthful looking and
dresses made Of 1t are planned to visu-
alize the young summer. Plain, fine
meshed nets are exactly suited to the
youth Of those who are just about to
bid farewell to schooldays. In spite
of the lovely, interminable procession
Of Whitehead maids that have passed
along this same path, some new
touches have been found to distin-
guish the dresses Of this years gradu-
ates. Little, inconspicuous accessories
and novel decorations make them in
teresting and the daintiness and re-
finement of net and organdie make
them beautiful.

FIX HYPODERMIC FOR TREES
Trouble Experienced In Removing
Plants From One Place to Another
Overcome by New Device.

A very interesting method of water
ing newly transplanted trees has re-
Gently been brought to the attention
Of orchardists. All who have had ex-
perience in removing trees from one
place to another, know that a large
number die before the roots become
settled in the new location. This sim
pie device overcomes the difficulty.
Take an ordinary bucket, cut hole
in the bottom and solder in it short
piece of three-fourth-inch gas pipe. A
few feet of garden hose is then at
tached to the pipe and extended down
to the roots. Now choose root about
the same size as the pipe and cut 1t
off so as to fit tightly into, and form
tight plug for, the free end of the
hose. The bucket may then be filed
with water and hung from one Of the
lower limbs of the tree. The root will
take sufficient moisture from the sup
ply in the bucket to maintain life until
the other roots are ready for work.

CENSUS REPORT ON CHERRIES
Those of Bearing Age Distributed In
Every State in the Union-Com-
merciaI Interests Small.

(By II. p. GOULD, Pathologist United
States Department of Agriculture)
Probably no tree fruit is grown
more widely throughout the country
than the sour cherry, or ''pie" cherry,
as it is often called. The distribution
Of sweet cherries is more restricted.
The thirteenth census reports TOR the
entire country a total of 1882 44
cherry trees of bearing age, and about
one-half as many not of bearing age.
Those Of bearing age are distributed
in every state in the Union and range
in number in the different states from
100 in Florida TO more than 100000
in each of the states of Pennsylvania
and Ohio.
However, in most of the states In
which many cherries are grown the
commercial interests are relatively
small compared with several others in
which the number of trees is consid-
erably less. In the latter the industry
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1917-06-08

is largely centralized In certain loca-
tons or regions where the commercial
interests are extensive, while in the
former the trees are distributed quite
generally throughout the states, prin-
cipally as small orchards, the fruit of
which is rarely shipped, though in
many cases 1t may be sold In local
markets.
Climate Is the most potent limiting
influence in the distribution of. fruits
so far as the natural surroundings are
concerned. OF the various elements of
climate, temperature probably more
often governs in this respect than any
other single factor. This becomes evil
dent In the distribution Of cherries.

Anecdote Of the Autocrat.

A southern woman tells about din
ing in Boston once, when next to her
sat homely little old gentleman, who
wanted to know how she passed the
time in the country with her old ia
ther. "Well, we read" "What did
you read?" Chiefly The Autocrat of
the Breakfast Table," Don't you
get tired of it?" "Oh, no. When we
get to the end, we simply turn back to
the beginning" The old gentleman
chuckled, and made a remark implying
that the "Autocrat' was no great thing
among books, and the lady was rather
surprised at his disparaging air. After
dinner she demanded of her hostess
the name Of the unappreciative old
gentleman, and was told that it was
Doctor Holmes.
