HolO the Other Countries are
Meeting the Food Problem

The federal bureau of market is
taking an interest in the matter and
may devise some way of preserving
the surplus.
Seminole county: Twenty-Five cam
ming outfits and eleven thousand cans
were sold in this county in May up to
May 10.
Volusia county: The county COM
mlssionesrs have appropriated a hun
bred dollars to be used in an adver-
Using campaign for more food crops.
Lee county: The cold storage plant
is in operation and many of the farm
ers are storing their vegetables for
summer use. There will be a large
acreage planted to rice and sweet po-
tatoes.
Palm Beach county: The first
week in June was designated as
"Lime Week" in this county and it is
the hope of the agent that one hun
dred carloads of lime will be applied
to the soil to reduce its acidity.
Dade county: One farmer in this
county sold 1855 worth of sweet pota-
toes and 1925 worth of beans off two
acres of ground. The beans followed
the potatoes.
Clay county: One farmer who had
dug a five-acre field of potatoes went
over it with a potato rake and got
nine barrels more. The Southern Cat
tie Feeding Company has about $500
acres in corn and velvet beans, and
the crops are looking fine. They are
doing all the cultivating with two
horse Cultivators and are keeping
ahead of the grass
Citrus county: A carload of tin
cans has been received by the county
commissioners who are selling them
at cost to the farmers.
Marion county: The county agent
has received requests to inoculate
three thousand head of hogs in this
county. The ~S@ety first" policy has
been adopted in earnest.
Clay county; Farmers are calling
or writing for consultation and infor-
nation on their farm problems. In
this way much more can be done in
the limited time of the agent.

This is a mild form of indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating
too rapidly or too much, or of food
not suited to your digestive organs.
If you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more THAI likely avoid the sour stom-

In Memoriam.

A tribute to the memory OF Miss Ada

roll call April q, 1917. Someone has
said that no words OF euology can Soothe
the dull, cold ear OF death. ltmay. how
ever, be some consolation to her bereaved
family to know that others mourn her ul-
timely death, that those who knew her
as member of their family circle also
learned to love her, that others cherish
her memory, that other hearts bled, and
other eyes were filled with tears. when
they heard of her tragic though heroic
death. Surrounded by her youthful
friends, to whom she was so devotedy
attached. for whose advancement she so
earnestly labored and in whose service
she gave her life, we laid her TO rest just
like weary child pillowing its head on
the warm bosom OF its fond mother
passes TO repose So she rests beneath
the sod in the silent city, Elmwood. She
had lived an earnest. noble life, and she
still lives and will live while memory
lasts in the hearts of countless friends,
and when another chapter shall be added
to history on the page dedicated 10 our
heroes, her name will be found yes, i'm

memory green. H.

For v. M. e.. A. War Work.

Governor John J. Cornwell and the
Executive Committee oithe Young Mems
Christian Association War-Work Council
have issued strong appeal TO the people
OF West Virginia to help in the campaign
TO raise $4,000, 900 or more for the moral
welfare of the men who will be assembled
in the army training camps. The sum
named will be needed 10 effectively carry
out the plans that have been endorsed by
the President OF the United States, army
officers and Y. M. c. A. workers west
Vireinia's share will be $50, 600, and it is
hoped that this SUN may be raised by
June 10Th.
Ina letter heartily approving OF this
work Governor Cornwell says:
1.-THE Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton proposes to surround the men while
in training camps and at the front with
the most wholesome environment possible
provide them with clean entertainment
and recreation when idle, unite them for
religious service, and in other ways show
a real interest in the higher life OF man,
which must not be allowed to be lowered.
but even raised in these serious times.
The Association will build large buildings
establishment camps, equip them with facll-
tiles for writing letters home, for reading,
for playing checkers, chess and other
wholesome games, and by promoting
athletics, entertainments, concerts, lee
lures, ETC., the Association will lit the
lonesomenesS and the inconsistencies
which overtake the youth who goes into
the service of his country, and help hold
him up. II will require So. OOO, 900 to en-
able the Association TO meet this great
task. The people OF West Virginia are
asked to subscribe $50, 900 OF this amount.
The effort TO raise the West Virginia share,
along with other States, begins May 18th
with State wide canvass that is to con-
tinue TO June 10Th. SOME must fight
with war-ALL can give, and one OF the
most important funds TO which every cltl-
zen should give is the war fund OF the
Young Mems Christian Association"
Sunday. June 10th, has been set apart
as "Y. M. c. A. War-Work Day." and it
is urged that ministers preach special
sermons on this subject in the morning
and that in each community civic mass
meetings will be held. This day is TO be
marked as the closing OF the Statewide
campaign to raise the fund needed, and
everybody is exhorted to generosity. OF
the million men who are TO be modified.
about $1,000 will be from West Virginia.
1t is our bounden duty to give literally to
this great and good work.
Governor Cornwel has appointed as
the committee TO urge this movement
in Jefferson county Judge Frank Beckwith,
Col. Forrest w. Brown, H. L. Snyder
and Tracy L. JeifordS.

1T has been shown by an investigation
recently conducted by the government
that the outrageous prices OF vegetables
the past spring and winter has been
caused in large part by the wicked mach
nations OF spectators and cold storage
people. indictments have been found
against number OF firms, corporations
and individuals for unlawfully cornering
the onion crop and eliminating compe-
tition, then forcing the price to unreason-
able figures. 1t is estimated that the
annual crop OF onions is about 100000,
600 pounds, of which these manipulators
controlled ree-fourths. They bought
the onions at cents a pound last fall and
forced the price up 10 consumers to ten
10 fifteen cents pound.
II is not likely that the efforts TO punish
these raScals will be effective, but the
greedy cormorantS ought TO have their
il-gotten gains taken from them.

DURING the Spanish-American war
Lieutenant HooSon managed to steal
rather close to the enemy'S vessels in
Santiago harbor. Wonder if some daring
spirit might not find his way into the lair
OF the German submarines and blow a
few OF them to the lower regions, where
they belong. The British and French
navies have been helpless for almost
three years. Shall not some gallant Amer
lean cover himself with glory by accom-
plishing some daring and successful feat
on or under the waters?
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1917-05-31

THAT Our country is harboring many
German spies has been made painfully
apparent Some weeks ago flotilla Of
American warvesSels, principally torpedo
boat destroyers, was secretly despatched
10 Europe to aid the British and French
navies in fighting the German submarines.
II was presumed that a very limited num-
Der Of officials knew OF the departure of
this fleet. The captains OF the vessels
sailed under sealed orders, which were
not opened until they were far out atsea,
and not a word appeared in any news
paper in regard to the movement. Yet
four days before the vessels arrived in
foreign waters not only was their depar-
ture known 10 the German government,
but also their port OF arrival, and German
submarines had strewn the entrance to
the harbor with explosive mines. For
tunately the mines were discovered by
the British and removed, and there was
no disaster to our ships. The United
States government is bending every en-
ergy TO discover the spies who are oper-
ating in our country, but If is conceded
that it will be difficult matter TO detect
them.
With such dreadful enemies without and
within, the importance of united and pa
triotic effort becomes more and more ap-
parent.
In this connection news comes from
Washington 10 the effect that when the
German and Austrian Ambassadors were
sent home from the United States that a
number OF their trusted men were left in
Washington, being transferred TO the
SwiSSand Swedish legations. This hard
ly seems possible, and YET il would &C
count Tor good many things if il is eally
true. II is no secret that both the Swiss
ard Swedish governments are almost
entirely dominated by German influence,
and their legations in Washington have
long been known as headquarters for
p'olterS and secret agents for the Ger
mans. Our government viii not be doing
its duty unless it cleans out these foul
nests.
