ker had charged him with stealing
some years ago.

The Herald this week prints a
lengthy article from the pen of Clar-
ence Poe. editor of the Progressive
Farmer, of Raleigh, u c. Mr.. Poe
presents the causes Of the war in a
most Illuminating manner, and we
feel sure that no one can read what
Mr.. Poe says without having clear
er conception of what the war with
Germany means to America. 1t may
be said that few people are more
capable of discussing this important
question than Mr.. Poe. He has trav-
eled extensively, and had given spe-
cial study to European conditions
for many years before the outbreak
of the present war.

Choosins q Camp Site.

In building Of summer house, or
camping under canvas, the choosina
OF a site Is the particular feature to
be carefully considered. One may
have the idea that to camp far from
civilization, to be free from intruders
Is the best method, but he finds after
experience that II Is quite more com.
Portable and agreeable to choose q
site not too far distant from the base
OF supplies and the nearest post Office.
Such sites are easily obtained IL sys-
tematic search Is made. At the same
time one may be away from intruders.
A cool retreat should be chosen and
SO situated that no trouble will result
from storms. In the cases Of the
house and tent trench should be built
about each to allow the running water
to travel along to lower ground. Such
q trench also acts rs prevention
against forest fires. In houses or cab
ins Of such nature sleeping rooms
should be upstairs.

the country may not be handicapped
by food shortage in its efforts to meet
the international crisis. Elimination
OF waste, conservation of surplus, and
attainment of maximum crop returns
were outlined as imperative for
strengthening resources.
Both for economic and patriotic
reasons" the secretary said, the
American farmer should strive this
year for the highest standard of eff
cheney in the production and conserva-

Under the conditions in which
this country now finds itself, it is
important that everything practicable
be done to increase the efficiency of
agricultural activities during the COM

Sweden.

Inefe Is IeeIlnS among the DuSl-
ness men Of Sweden, as well as among
those of other countries. that after
the great war there will be great
changes in the Industrial and CONNER
movement has been already started In
Sweden to take full advantage of this
fact. An evidence of this Is the for
nation by capitalists Of GOtenburg of a
stock company, capitalized ut 10000
600 crowns, which will carry on trade
with foreign nations when the war Is
over. The name of the new company
is Aktieselskapet Svenska Oceankom-
paniet (the Swedish Ocean Stock CON-
pany) and its director Is DR.. NJ. Mar
kus Of Gotenburg. The company will
have for It's special object the finding
of an advantageous market in foreign
countries for Swedish merchandise
and will establish agencies in vari-
Gus parts of the world.
As already stated In this column,
the government of Sweden has adopt
ed the card system Of distributing
bread among the people in order to
conserve the nations grain supply. At
first the new system was very unpOpu-
lar. the people Of means resenting the
restrictions thus placed upon their up
petites as well as their pocket books,
but Of late the resentment has given
place to humor, and in making appli.
cation for more bread the housewives
inject all sorts of ocular remarks
which find their way into the news
papers and add to the gayety Of the
people.
Tor Hedberg, director Of the ORA
matte theater of Stockholm, seems to
be having his share Of public criticism
because of his conduct of the lnsti-
tuition under his control. The cause
Of the latest attack upon him Is his
refusal to permit the presentation ut
the Dramatic theater of Captain
Munthe's play, "Magdalena Ruben
schold," which was presented at the
Svenska theater with marked popular
approval.

GUARDS PUBLIC HEALTH

"After the war, what?" is the Ques-
ton which thrusts itself before many.
What will flow from the maelstrom to
affect the health of the world?
DR.. William G. Rucker, one Of the
assistant surgeon generals In the Unit
ed States public health service, who
has just won a Welcome medal and
money prize offered for the discussion
Of this subject by military surgeons
Of the United States, has told why va
riOus diseases have flourished at the
lines of conflict; how the military san
atorium men met their tasks; the ef-
feet Of the changed conditions upon
the health of men and women, the SOL
diery and home workers; the weaken
ing Of the "vicious chain" Of intern
perance, vice and pauperism; the care
Of the human wreckage; the hope for
the future, and the need OF watch
against making this country q dumping
ground for the left-overs.
