FAIR
BOON TO FARMER

NO one factor does more to stimu-
late effort in the Improvement of farm
conditions than the agricultural fair,
Carl Russell, county farm demoEstratOr,
said yesterday. 1T is there that the
farmer has AN opportunity to see AMI
observe the progress being made in the
improvement of farm crops and animals
and to compare his own efforts with the
work of others His successes in com
peting with his neighbors stimulate him
to greater efforts, and his failures teach
him wherein. his work has been at
fault
"a properly conducted fair should
and does result in increased productions:
As increased production increases taxa
bic values, the agricultural fair may
very properly be supported in part at
least by taxation Recognizing this fact,
the Fifth legislature enacted law pro-
viding for the holding Of free township
and county fairs.

the disguise of lumber carrier according
to Captain Hadore Smith, master of the
American schooner r. G. Slade. one OF the
known victims Of the German craft.
After capture by the British and subsc-
quent escape the Seeader put into Bremen
haven, a German port, and in December,
1915, fitted out as motor schooner under
command of Lieutenant Won Luc<ner and
crew OF siXty-eight, half of whom, accord

Americas National Army will be an army

ment admitted this today as they saw their
dreams Of an army OF half million infan-

The United States is gradually learning
that the major part OF an army, under
present war conditions. is not the front line.
There are ten men behind the line for every
man I'm tho trenches. These are the men
that keep the trench fighters In the trenches.
IL Is understood that General Pershing
has strongly urged the War Department TO
make the National Army a specialized army.
with his forces already in Europe he has
seen the need for trained men behind the
lines. Pershng has made constant de-
mauds for men who can do mechanical
work. men who can care for stores and
other men In specialized lines of endeavor.
other pressure has been brought to bear
upon the General STAFF to use the trained
energy OF the National Army in other lines
than actual nGhting Members Of the Brit
ish mission to the United states and other
foreign officers have counseled constantly
against too heavy fighting forces without a
sufficient supporting force.
within a few days the vocational census
now being taken Of the National Army will
be completed with this laid before the
General staff there will be planned a general
reorganization. 1t is probable that some

Pennsylvania troops were formally wei

participated in the fag-raising and Column

O'Neil and Stillwell. The parade was three
quarters Of an hour in passing the review

Last night the officers Of the Twenty

the armory. Hundreds of citizens formed
the reception line and met the officers as
they arrived. Fully half the officers of the
division were in attendance.
More thanNsix hundred recruits are needed

With the preservation of the Eighteenth
Regiment, officers and enlisted men of the
Twenty-eighth Division are of the opinion
that the trouble is not yet begun The
Eighteenth Regiment made a fight to re-
tain it's identity
The Eighteenth was the only one of the
disbanded regiments under the old reorgani-
zation plan that made any great howl
about the matter, but the moral effect Of a
change i'm the order and the saving of the
Eighteenth and the dismembering Of the
Third regiment which had been preserved
in the first order, is generally considered
bad. and officers are of the opinion that
with the Eighteenth an example, other
dismembered regiments especially the
Third will start kicking and will bring
pressure to bear to retainS their identity.
