SILVER THIMBLES HELP
~ ENGLAND WIN WAR

A writer in the September Woman's
Home Companion says:
"One day an English woman who
must understand her own sex very well
had beautiful, thrilling inspiration.
Perhaps in her strenuous sewing for
the soldiers, she had to discard a
punctured silver thimble for one of
brass or composition. Perhaps she
just stumbled upon a battered, for
gotten thimble which had served an
other generation of nimble fingers. At
any rate, she added that probably
every home in her town could boast
of thimbles in or out of service. Now,
if all these silver thimbles were gath
cred up, sent to a silversmith, melted
and refined, they would come forth
from the proccss-money! Money with
which to buy ambulances and equip
hospitals.
"She began by collecting thimbles
from friends and neighbors. Thimbles
came rolling in from every direction,
The richest and the humblest sent
them. Then there were women, hun
dreds of them, who had no silver thin
bles--and were sorry for it. They
wrote asking whether they might send
other bits of silver or gold--an old
silver spoon or two, a napkin ring, or
cuff link, a watch charm-old-fash-
toned, even bent or broken, but
wrought from the precious metal.
1.-THE answer to such queries was al
ways the same: Nothing too large.
Nothing too SMALL
"The heaps of discarded thimbles
and trinkets grew. The mint melted
them and then returned them, ingots
of silver and gold. In a year, The
Silver Thimble Fund was able to dis
pense the following splendid chart
ties:
~ motor ambulances.
"5 motor hospital boats for Mes
opotamia.
II disinfector.
$4,000 pounds of Navy Employment
Agency for Disabled Sailors.
"2,250 pounds of the Star and Gar
ter Fund.
10000 pounds for disabled soldiers
and sailors.
1922 pounds in small grants to hos
pitfalls and supply bureaus.
$4,000 pounds sterling, or seven
ty-five thousand dollars, had beer
raised by gifts from those who thought
they had nothing worth selling"

THE GOVERNMENT AND
PAID ADVERTISING

The question Of whether the United
States Government should engage in
a policy Of paying for advertisement
in the newspapers has been much ag-
itated Of late, especially in regard to
the selling Of Liberty Loan Bonds.
This being a strictly money matter
the question comes up more squarely
in connection with it than with regis
tration, food conservation or other
governmental matters given publicity.
Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury
has issued statement dealing with
this matter. After referring to the
great amount of advertising patriot
ically given to the Liberty Loan Bonds
in the first campaign by newspapers
and other advertising agencies, and
by banks and other concerns and by in
dividuals, the Secretary contradicts
the impression that the Government
in the first Liberty Loan campaign
asked for free advertising or paid for
eny advertising in the newspapers.
The great success of the loan he at
tributes in a very great degree to the
voluntary and patriotic work and adj
vertising space periodically given
free to the government.
While acknowledging the tremen-
dous value of advertising the Secre-
tary points out that the relation of the
government to the press and to the
public generally is such that the ques-
ton of paid advertising by it presents
problem very much more complex
than it would be to private enter
prise. The government cannot use
the same thorough discrimination as
to the mediums it should use, but
would be obliged to be thoroughly
democratic and impartial, and the cost
of such an undertaking would be very
great and would exceed the appropria-
ton available under the existing law
The Secretary, however, states that
the matter is being given very careful
consideration, but decision cannot be
arrived at until a better knowledge is
had as to the cost of the campaign
and until the appropriation available
for the purpose has been settled by
| Congress.

DIR. WOODS RESIGNS AS CHRIS
TIAN ADVOCATE EDITOR

Rev. DR.. C. C. Woods, editor of the
st. Louis Christian Advocate, has re-
signed his position after nineteen
years service, and will retire on Oc-
tober 1, taking the rank of editor
emeritus of the paper. 1t is probable
that his assistant, Rev. DR., Arthur
Mather, will succeed him. This re-
ligious journal was founded by the
late Rev. DR.. w. D. Palmore and un-
til DR.. Palmore's death, three years
ago, DIR. Woods was associate editor.
DR.. Woods is 70 years of age and
desires to rest at least part of the
year. He will spend his winters at
his Florida home on an island near
Sarasota, Fla, and will return to st.
Louis for his summers. He has been
in the Southern Methodist ministry
since 1860. DR.. Woods is prominent
as a Mason and has been Grand Mas
ter of the Masonic fraternity. He is
now grand correspondent and writes
the records of the organization each
wear.

WHAT ARMY SERVICE DOES

Peter B. Kyne, celebrated author,
has this to say about service in the
United States army:
~ think that, of all the experiences
and adventures l have had in my life
thus far, those l CLEANED during my
fourteen months in the regular army
to has had the most profound effect
in shaping my destiny.
"The recruiting posters will tell you
that a year in the army will teach
your boy courage. 1t will. Also it will
teach him how to die, and in teaching
him this will teach him how to live.
And he will learn how to obey, in Or
der that in the later battle of life he
may know how to command; it will
teach him democracy, and if, after he
has learned to defend his country and
himself, he is called upon to make
practical use of his education for bene-
fit of posterity, he will learn tender
ness and manliness and how to sac
rifice without thinking about it. Mil
itary service in the United States ar
my is real job with variegated de-
tails, many of them unpleasant to some
natures, but none of them degrading,
and the army is the finest school in
the world for teaching boy courage,
self-reliance, cleanliness and efficien-
CIV"

HOW TO PUT CHILDREN TO BED,

Not with reproof for any of that
days sins of ommission or commits
sion; take any other time but bedtime
for that. If you ever heard little
creature signing in it's sleep you could
never do this. Seal their closing eyes
with kiss and blessing. The time
will come, all too soon, when they will
lay their heads upon their pillows lack
ing both. Let them at least have the
sweet memory of childhood, of which
no future sorrow or trouble can rob
them. Give them their rosy youth.
Nor need this involve wild license. The
judicious parent will not mistake the
meaning. If you have ever met the
man, or woman, whose eyes have sud-
denly filled when little child has
crept trustingly to its mothers breast,
you may have seen one in whose child
hood home dignity and severity stood
where love anu pity should have been.

THE FIvE-CENT LOAF
is COMING BACK

The bread-baking concerns, and the
bakers generally, like the coal men,
the poultry men and the dairy men,
see the handwriting on the wall. $50
soumettre gu Sc demettre" is the
French of it-"Submit or resign"
Hence an agreement on plan to
restore the Scent loaf, and to make
it of standard size. We venture to
predict that this size will not differ
much from what used to be sold for
a nickel. No development of the pro-
fiteer business since war began has
so irritated the common people as the
exaction of cents or 8 cents for the
former nickel loaf. The percentage in
crease, Of course, became vastly more
than the rise in the price of -four JUS
titled. =
The wheat and flour men will have
to get back to earth. The United
States government will complete the
job begun by the exchanges them
selves in stopping the trade in wheat
futures. We must have decent prices
on the necessities Of life. Specula-
ton and extortior have been running
riot. The first duty Of any govern
nsnt Is to It's own people.-Brooklyn

THE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN

Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury
has issued statement that the cam
paign to sell the second issue of Lib
crty Loan Bonds will close on the first
of November, 1917, and the active cam
paign will begin net later than month
before that date.
The Secretary explains that details
of the second loan cannot be given out
until final action has been taken by
Congress upon the war bond bill now
pending but announces that as soon as
the new law has been passed the de-
tails will be given out.
The Secretary expresses hope that
all existing Liberty Loan Committees
will perfect their organizations and
new organizations be effected in read
mess for the next campaign.
As In the first campaign the cam
paign in each Federal Reserve Dis
triet will be under the supervision of
the Federal Reserve Bank, which will
act as the fiscal agent of the govern
ment.

FILLING THE sILo

Distributing and packing silage in
the silo is frequently neglected. I'm
less the blower has a distributor at
tachment there is a tendency for the
cut corn to fall in one place in the 81
10. If the silo is filled in this way, the
finer and lighter portions of the stalks
are frequently blown to the outside
and the heavier parts, ears and butts
of stalks, are deposited in the CEN
ter, thus causing an uneven distribu-
ton of grain and stalk and conse-
ouent uneven quality Of silage. I'm
even distribution is frequently the
cause of soft places and air pockets,
which later result in spoiled silage.
When the lighter portions are blown
to the outside they do not pack well
and the silage spoils near the wall.
Such spoilage, which really results
from careless filing, is often attribut-
ed to the silo.
Packing the silage is equally inn
portant as distribution, according to
S. T. Simpson of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture. Thor
ough packing requires plenty of men
and persistent work. Good silage can
be had only by uniform packing and
uniform distribution Of the corn. The
entire surface, especially the outer
edge, should be packed firmly. The
best help obtainable should be sta
toned in the silo. That is where the
silage is ultimately made, and sue
cess or failure depends on the ability
of the men to distribute and pack the
corn.
The large cutter with the CORE
spending large capacity frequently
saves money in filling the silo. If the
silo is filled rapidly the corn has lit
tie time to settle. Slow filling allows
the corn to settle as it is stored, with
the result that more corn can be plac-
ed in given space. To overcome this
advantage of rapid filling woven wire
may be extended above the top of the
silo, thus increasing it's capacity I'M
til it can settle. Patent roofs are
made which serve the same purpose
Reflling in two or three days will ac-
complish the same end. :,
Corn cut at tn proper stage should
require no additional water. Wher
the crop has become too dry, water
will add to the keeping qualities and
palatability of the silage. Water may
be run into the blower or directly in
to the silo. In the latter case it must
be well distributed. Silage mad
from fodder requires large quantities
of water.
More or less silage will decay a
the top unless the silo is sealed ovel
or unless feeding is begun soon aftel
filling. To prevent much of this loss
some farmers seal the silo with three
or four loads of green corn from which
the ears have been removed, some ust
other sorts of heavy green crops, while
still others use sawdust satisfactorily
In every case it is advisable to soal
this covering thoroughly with waite
and tramp it regularly for severa
days after it has been placed in thu
silo.

VOLUNTARY WHEAT
HARBORS HESSIAN FLY

Volunteer wheat must be destroyed
to control the hessian fly. The de-
struction of all wheat which has come
up in the stubble or plowed fields
since harvest and threshing time is
one of the most important steps in
controlling the insect. Enough flies
can breed in this volunteer wheat to
infest next years crop. The other
control measures will be greatly les
sened if destruction of this wheat is
neglected.
Careful observation and expert
ments for series of years at the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculture has shown that growth of
wheat in September and early in Oc-
tober is the most favorable breeding
place for the hessian fly, and its
greatest source of infestation in the
spring.
While the hessian fly is practically
under control in Missouri, there are
enough of the insects left to reinfest
the fields of the State. If volunteer
wheat is allowed to grow it may be-
come badly infested with the fly ir
September, and if it does it will be a
menace to the wheat crop next year
Narrowing and discing will prevent
the fly from emerging next spring t.
destroy or greatly reduce the yield OF
wheat. Cultivation of the ploweC
ground will not only starve the hes.
sian fly but it will conserve soil mois.
ture and will make a firmer and bet
ter seeded for wheat. Such cultiva.
ton must be done before the volunteer
wheat has become so large that the
disk or harrow will not destroy it.
