HEALTHFUL CAMP GREENE.
Charlotte. N. C., Where New England
Guardsmen Win Train.

Charlotte, N. c., July l7.--Charlotte,
the southern city TO become the home of
the 10000 or more OF New England Ma.
tional Guard, is the largest city In North
Carolina, having population of $4,000.
IL is situated equi-distant from the sea
and from the mountain chain, giving IL
a climatic condition which in times past
has been one of its pre-eminent boasts.
Ii is 200 miles each from the Blue Ridge
and the Atlantic ocean and nearly 800
feet above sea level. II is noted for its
freedom from sudden temperature
changes, high winds and destructive
storms. The average annual tempera-
ture of the city is 80 degrees, having
January as its coolest month with an
average of 40 degrees, and July as its
hottest with TO- The average number of
freezing days during the winter is 45.
The climate of the community was one
of the strong points which impressed the
war department officials as to the ad.
visibility of putting one OF the l6 army
environments here.
1t has been the pride of Charlotte, too,
that in addition to its climatic conditions
its soil and its abundant water supply
were assets that led the war department
to select this city. The water is brought
from a river, IL miles from the city, the
plant costing the city few years ago
m;'lion dollars. IL has a daily capacity
of 100000 gallons and a reserve capa-
city of 60,000,000 gallons. The average
daily capacity used is 100000 and the
same capacity will be given to the can.
Torment, which will bring here male
population amounting to two-thirds of
the present total population of Charlotte.
The predominant soil is a sandy loan
regarded by Major General Wood as
ideal for cantonment. The site select +
ed for the camp is on an area of 1000
acres that is partly wooded but for the
most part open and Astounding in type
of soil that will not be materially affect
ed by continued rains.
In connection with the healthfulness
of the city, it is pointed out by an au
thority that with one exception, the
death rate here is lowest in the United
States. There are lacking the maIarial
conditions which prevail in so many To-
,alities. The fact that il is situated 200
miles inland precludes the possibility of
i superfuous humidity which is SO dead
Iy in the summer months in other parts
Of the South, and the further fact that
the Blue Ridge mountains standing at
he city's back door prevent the winds {

life. The municipal authorities main

ions and have provided complete net s

Washington, d. c., July l9.--Attacks
upon the war departments policy of
training national guardsmen in southern
camps and the method of compiling the
army draft quota estimates continued
yesterday in the Senate.
Senator Lodge said the estimate meth
cd was simply preposterous' and Great
ed the opinion that the rolls have been
padded" He wanted to know why IL
was that the National Guard from New
England is to be sent to southern train
ing camps while the army to be raised
by CONSUMPTION is to be trained at a
camp in central Massachusetts,.
Senators LaFollette and Watson also
voiced opposition to the sending of
northern troops to the southern camps.
Senator Watson expressed the belief that
there was something back of the plan
other than military reasons.

MAY ASK COCKTAILS
TO RESIGN
Denman Delivers Virtual Ultimatum in
Demanding Reply from Cor
poration Chief.

washington, July l0.-The shipbuild'
ing row yesterday reached the most crit
zeal stage of the long controversy be-
tween Chairman Denman of the shipping
board and General Manager Cocktails.
After the generals second reply TO
Denman's request for detailed informa.
ton on his ship construction program
proved incomplete Denman immedi-
ately dispatched third request for the
information and asked TO have a reply
before board meeting called for p. m.
If Goethals does not make satisfac.
tory statement to Denman, or fails TO
attend the meeting, TO which Denman
invited him, Goethals may be asked to
resign. Goethals' friends will appeal TO
President Wilson first, however.
The principal point of difference be.
tween Denman and Cocktails concerns
the latter's plans TO build the two gov
eminent steel shipyards on leased land,
Even the government piling will by law
revert to the owners of the land, it was
stated.
Another difficulty with an interna-
tional angle relates to Communicating
of alien shipping under construction in
this country. Goethals would turn back
British ships to Great Britain. Denman
favors adding such commandeered ships
to Americas merchant marine perma-
nently.
Denman asked for the contracts for
the two government shipyards Goethals
to award. Cocktails reply yes
terday gave merely the blank contracts
without the cost figures Denman wanted.
The secret shipping board meeting yes
terday afternoon was expected to be SEN
sational if Goethals attended. Denman
controls the board.
Friends of Goethals predict he will re.
'ign if he is not freed from Denman's
or unless President Wilson
yives Goethals complete authority in di-
Getting his ship construction program.

The latter, he said, was unable to obtain

the load at from % to 25 cents, but are

WHAT COUNTY AGENTS
HAVE DONE

Farm and home demonstration work
would be in every county in Tennessee
if the people thoughtthey could afford
it. In other words no one denies to-
day the value. of the work of the dem
onstration agents to a community.
Demonstration work began in the
South. The lead which the south es-
tablished is being held. Whether that
work will pay back to a county what
/ it spends is answered in part by a re-
cent report for all of the Southern
work, The report is for the past year
and says:
Demonstrations of various kinds
were carried on covering nearly a
million and a half acres of field crops,
and more than two million fruit trees.
Instruction was given to approximate
ly 10000 farmers in the care Of ma
nure, resulting in the saving of over
3,300,00O tons,
-Four thousand five hundred and
eighty-four silos. and 1879 dipping
watts were built.
"SiN hundred and seventy-eight co.
operative organizations were formed
to purchase fertilizers, ind effected
saving to the communities of more
than $l25,000. And more than LOO
community organizations of farmers
were brought into existence through
efforts of county agents.
Interest was arused in livestock
production and resulted in bringing
into the territory 1,776 purebred hor-
SEES and mares, 1853 purebred and
high grade dairy cattle, 1860 pure
bred and high grade beef cattle, 1879
purebred hogs, and 1868 purebred and
high grade sheep and goats.
More than 100000 head of live
stock were treated for various diseas-
es and pests. = So.
"Boy-club members made an average
production of 51373 bushels of corn
per acre.
Girl-club members put up 2,166,515j
cans of fruits and vegetables, estimat-
ed to be worth 100000, making an av-
erage net profit per member of $24.
Numerous labor saving devices
were introduced in farm homes, egg
circles and cooperative poultry asso-
Citations were organized, large num-
Der of women's country clubs were
formed, and many other lines of work
were carried on"

HOW ABOUT THE CALVES

On the average Tennessee farm the
calves from six to eighteen months
old that 90 through the winter are
objects of pity long before nature
comes to the rescue with the warm
sunshine and green grass of April.
Men who pride themselves upon the
breeding and quality of their cattle can
frequently be found permitting their
young animals to exist under the most
adverse conditions. Too frequently
the calves are in out-of- the-way pla-
ces, low ceilinged, poorly ventilated
and poorly lighted.
One also frequently finds calves that
have the entire freedom of thestraw
stacks. Here, for the sake of amuse-
ment and erstwhile protection, they
burrow great caverns in the heart OF
the stack, consuming the straw as
they remove it. In this way they get
exercise and warmth, but not much
bone and muscle.
Bone and muscle making material
is what calves need, not straw or corn
stover or grass hay. Give them clio.
yer and alfalfa, soy beans or COW peas
cottonseed meal or wheat bran. They
do not keep fat with a ration Of
starchy feeds like corn, but they
should be kept growing every day.. Il
is never economy to withhold feec
from young animals at the expense Of
their development.
Give the young things a chance anC
give them comfortable quarters.
Keep the lice off them? If you are
feeding well and they are looking bad
~ the chances are an examination
will show that the lice are eating then
Use any Of the cattle dips, kerosen,
emulsion or a mixture of kerosen,
and lard

THE ROADS OF 1917.

1t will be but a short time now un-
til the rigors and storms of winter
will be past and the problems of the
new year will be before us for solution.
One of the most important of these
problems will be; What of our coun-
try roads for 1912"
The year 1916 witnessed the great
est impetus to road building that has
ever been known in history, Govern
ment, state, county and municipality
all awoke and attacked the problem
with vigor, and the results in many in
stances were most gratifying.
But there was, the past year, anoth-
err element in the solution of the good
roads problem that had heretofore
been lacking-that of community co.
operation. In many parts of the coun-
try the opportunities Of the good
roads advocates had their effect, and
the people awoke to the live fact that
the roads were their roads, and that
they were individually responsible fol
their maintenance. And this was just
the adde force needed to give the
movement an impetus that nothing
could stop.
1t is this feature of community co.
operation that must be fostered if oul
roads are to be made what we woult
have them. Each and every either
must be fully aroused to his respon.
sibility-not merely to pay his take.
and give his few days of work each
year, but to shoulder his full share o.
responsibility and never let up unit
every road in his community is
good road.
Many communities have worked vi
a sentiment that each and every cit
izen should give one day out of eacl
month to voluntary labor on the roads
This is an auxiliary to all other roac
working facilities. And the plan a,
carried out in these communities ha.

THE COST OF HIGH LIVING.

The success attending the boy
colt on eggs and turkeys serves to re
mind US Of the remark of recent
writer who ventured the opinion that
lit was not so much the high cost OF
! living as it was the cost of high liv-
ing that was troubling the country at
this time.
That writer placed his finger on the
sorest spots in our domestic economy
We are the most extravagant peo-
Pile on earth.
Fifty years ago father would have
sworn mighty but righteous oaths had
any been guilty of our extravaganza.
They lived in a manner that we Of
this day would consider the extreme
of hardship.
Our grandmothers, could they come
back, would be thoroughly scandaliz-
ed at our profligate extravaganza, and
yet the strange thing to US is that
they manage to extract about as much
happiness from life as we do-if not
a little more.
1t has been said that the Injuries
Of one generation are the necessities
of the next.
If this be true the outlook in a few
generations is truly appalling. Given
all of our Injuries as their necessi-
ties, with proportionate Injuries of
their own of which we have not yet
dreamed, to what gigantic extent will
extravaganza have reached?
The picture is not a promising one.
In fact, it is by no means attractive.
1t has been said that an European
peasants family would live in COM
fort on what the average American
kitchen consigns to the swill barrel. !
And we haven't doubt of the truth |
of the assertion.
Here's the American pace Mr.. and |
Mrs. B, worth half a million, aspire
to live on the same scale as Mr.. and |
Mrs, A. worth a full million. Mr.. and
Mrs. c., worth only a quarter of a
million, would keep up with the BIS
who have half million, and SO on
down the line. \
Really, isn't it time for the sober,
citizenship of the country
to calfa halt on the useless, senseless
and even idiotic extravaganza of the
age?
There is an end to every string, and
the American people are a mighty
long way from the beginning.
