OF MEN
REJECTED FOR ARMY
FIT, DOCTOR ASSERTS

New York, Dec. 18.-How hundreds
of thousands of men, rejected for the
draft as physically unfit, could be re-
turned to health through "massed
psychology" and disciplinary methods
in session here today, at the annual
convention of Life Insurance Presi-
dents, in session here today, by John
H. Quayle, Of Cleveland. He predict
ed that under the plan Of the reclama-
ton camp commission the "results
would be astonishing than u
figures on rejection"
"Shortly after conscription," he
said, cit was estimated that there were
1000 900 men between the ages of 81
and 81 who had no visible means of
support and we've supported by their
father, mother OF some other woman.
Practically all of these men will be
physically unfit, as they are physical
and moral towards. But if they were
put in reclamation camps under army
discipline, outdoor life, simple food,
regular hours, and given such medical
and surgical attention as they need,
together with what I call 'massed psy-
chology,' or the association with real
men, the results would be more aston
lshing than u figures on rejection.

fR|GHTFuLNESS' BY
BR|TON N LAUSANNE
Ripe Tomato Bombardment
Routed a "Gott Strafe Eng
land" Couple.

The latest tale Of frlghtfulness
comes from Lausanne. In one Of the
most fashionable restaurants recently
all the tables were occupied except
two small ones not far from each
other, when a man and a woman, IN
mistakably German, entered. The
woman wore a light wrap, but when
she had seated herself at one Of the
tables she removed it and it was seen
that she wore on her expansive bosom
an enormous brooch with the inscrip-
ton in %brilliants, "Gott Strafe Eng.
land"
A few moments later an English
man, accompanied by a countrywom-
an, seated himself at the other table.
The inscription on the brooch imme-
diately attracted their attention, and
Indignation. Sending for a head wait
er, the Englishman said to him that
such a violation Of good taste in a neu-
trail country was an insult that could
not be borne. He told the waiter to
inform the German that the ordinary
civilities would suggest that the
brooch worn by his companion should
be taken off.
The head waiter had little stomach
for such a job, and feebly demurred,
whereupon the Englishman rose and
In excellent French addressed the Ger
mans. In a clear voice he repeated
what he had said to the head waiter,
but, except for a supercilious shrug Of
the shoulders, the Germans gave no
evidence that they had heard his re-
marks, although everyone else in the
restaurant understood what he had
said and looked their sympathy.
The Englishman, without showing
any signs Of anger, reseated himself,
picked up a menu and gave his order
to the waiter. When the soup was
served the waiter also brought on a
platter a dozen large ripe tomatoes,
which were placed on the table. The
Englishman and his companion, after
finishing their soup, deliberately pick
ed up the tomatoes and rained upon
the two Germans the ripe vegetables,
splatterlng their faces and breasts
with the soft, Juicy contents.
The applause and laughter Of the
other diners appraised the objects Of
this novel form Of reprisal that they
could find no support or sympathy and
they fled from the restaurant in great
precipitation. "Let them co." an
nounced the Englishman. II will pay
their bill"

CLEAN milk

Not many years ago everybody kept
a cow. Nowadays the city dweller's
milk may have been hauled across two
or three States before the milk bottles
finally comes to rest upon the door
step.
Dirty diaries and unclean handling
is far too common. In the majority Of
small communities there is little or no
supervision of dairy farms and deal
ers. As a result milk is often the ag-
ent by which disease is transmitted.
Typhoid fever, septic sore throat,
scarlet fever, diphtheria, and other
communicable diseases can readily be
spread along the milk mans route.
This is particularly true where the in
sanitary practice of filling the empty
bottles which have been set out by
customers, is followed. Delivering
these bottles at other houses, instead
of taking them back to the dairy for
proper cleansing and sterilization, is
criminal. There are many instances
on record where extensive typhoid cpl
denies have been traced to this prac-
tice.
Where city milk supplies are obtain
ed from a wide spread territory, COW
ering several states, inspection of the
Individual dairy farm becomes almost
impossible and pasteurization offers
the only effective method of protection
to insure milk reasonably free from
disease germs. This dose not nee
essarily mean clean milk. Milk pro-
duced in States where the dairy farms
are efficiently supervised by State In
spectors is to be preferred, # the
cleanliness of the raw milk is assured
Every act in the handling Of milk
and the care of the dairy stock is i'm
portant. If an absolutely clean sup
ply is to be assured we must nave
healthy cattle properly cared for
cleanliness in milking and in the hand.

INVENTION MAY REvOLU-
Tonne GAS DNGINE
PARK RIVER BOYS GASLESS MA
CHINE BEING BUILT BY II. s.
GOVERNMENT.

Park River, N. D., Dec. 15.-If the
motor invented by Henry Lohse, son
of John Lohse, proves to be the SUI.
cess it nov seem to promise, it will
revolutionize the entire gasoline en-
CINE, traction, automobile, submarine
and aviation business Of the world.
Henry Lohse, who is a recent graduate
of the Park River high school, has
invented a motor. which it is claimed,
derives it's power from the oxygen in
the air, the exact process being a Sc
cret.
Young Lohse constructed a small
motor, which successfully ran his
mothers washing machine, and kept
running without interruption for some
weeks. He applied for and received
a patent from the U. S. patent office.
His invention, as soon as patented,
created intense excitement among the
eastern manufacturers of motors, and
he Immediately received a number of
1attering offers for his patent, but he
declined them all. His invention will
do away with the necessity of carry
ing fuel in an automobile or airoplane
which especially in airoplanes, means
a complete revolution, as in aviation
the matters Of weight is the greatest
problem or factor inventors must deal
with.
A short time ago Mr.. Lohse reveiv-
ed al invitation from the United
States government to come to Wash
ington, D. c., and while there he de-
monstrated his machine before Secre-
tary Baker and a committee of ex-
perts. The trial tests proved entirely
satisfactory to the government officials
and the war department. has how un-
dertaken the construction of a large
model which will develop about 80
horse power to be used for further
tests. When this is completed Mr..
Lohse expects to make a second trip
to Washington, from which place he
returned on Friday.
While at the capital city he spent
about two hours with Thomas A. Ed.
son, who accompanied the young mar
very highly on his ingenuity. This
invention will make Park River ia
NOUS.

MARKET PRODUCTS OF
WOODLAND AT PROFIT
Situation Acute, Demand Strong And
Prices Increasing

Little has been said regarding the
profitable marketing of farm wood
land products, although market con
ditions for wood and other forest
products were never better. At a.
time when the Government is strain
ing every sinew in the production Of
a merchant marine, in the construc-
ton of which enormous quantities Of
wood are used, the demand for TIM
bers of the proper dimensions is grow
ing acute. Automobile, aeroplane and
vehicle manufacturers are finding it
impossible to secure adequate supplies
of desirable woods; hickory, oak, ash.
Prices are increasing and quality is
decreasing.
Nearly twothirds of the total area of
the State of Georgia is woodland, about
half of which is included under the
head of farm woodlands" The large
operators are rapidly cutting over
their holdings This means that an
eyer-increasing amount of timber
must come from the farm. Under pres
ent conditions the farm woodland
should yield as high profit in its
wood crop as does any other portion
of the farm, investment considered.
The fact that more farmers do not
realize this is due to ignorance of the
wood market. Along with other farm
products, wood has passed through the
hands of a number of "middlemen, =
each of whom secured his profit. Usu-
ally the local milIman secures the
stand of timber in farm woodland
for a lump sum. He manufactures
this in very rough way, markets the
lower grades locally and sorts out the
high grade oak, ash, hickory, walnut,
cherry, poplar, maple and dogwood to
ship to a lumber merchant in some
large marketing center. This firm
manufactures and regrades the prod
uct and distributes it to automobile
works, handle factories, furniture
manufacturers, vehicle factories, and
others. The farmer may have consid'
cred himself fortunate in securing five
dollars for large walnut tree that
the furniture factory pays the commits
sion merchant perhaps $500 when man
ufactured. There is no reason why
the farmer should not receive larger
share of the profit. It is not necessary
| that the middleman be eliminated, but
the farmer must have better knowl
edge Of the value of his product.
Where the farmer does not desire tc
manufacture his tin der but to sci
standing trees he should be very care
| full to make a contract that will bt
| entirely fair to both parties.

APPLY PRINCIPLES OF
BUSINESS TO FARMING
Assists Operator In Organizing Farm
For Future Operations

A simple system of accounts or farm
bookkeeping to determine the cost
of producing cotton, corn, hay, hogs,
cattle and other enterprises should be
helpful to any farmer that he may have
a more intimate knowledge of his bust
ness. Especially should it be desira-
BILE at this time because of reorganiz-
ing the farm to meet weevil conditions.
Enterprises that have heretofore occu-
pied major places in the business may
be decreased and others occupying
minor places increased.
When the operator has record of
the cost and the time spent On each
enterprise, he is in much better posi-
ton to bring about proper distribu-
ton of labor and correlation of en-
terprises that is profitable. 1t is not
enough that one crop or enterprise be
profitable. The success of the farmer
is measured by the returns from the
whole farm.
The Division of Agronomy of the
State College of Agriculture has pre-
pared a time book and ledger to take
care of all the costs of labor and ma
terials as well as the receipts from the
different enterprises. At the begin
ming of the year an inventory is taken
of the real estate, live stock, feed and
supplies, and machinery and tools. At
the end of the year a similar inven-
tory is taken. The days of man and
mule labor are recorded in the time
book for each enterprise and trans.
ferred to the ledger at the end of the
year. All other items of expenditures
and receipts for each crop, or enter
prise, are entered directly in the ledg-
err. 1t is a comparatively easy matter,
by the use of the inventories and the
accounts against the different crops, |
to determine the cost of growing cot |
ton, corn, oats, cowpeas, hogs, cattle (!
and other enterprises of the farm. |
These costs may. and generally do, !
vary for each individual form.
With this information at hand the |
business for the year may be summa- |
rized to show what returns the farm |
is making An analysis of the bust |
ness made possible in this way often
shows up the defects to be corrected |
and materially assists the operator in
formulating plans and better organic
ing the farm for future operations.-I
