FIFTY CAMP MEADE MEN
TO GO TO FIGHTING ZONE
Fist Party Has Received Orders to
Remove to Place Not Far FrCm
Embarkation Point.

( Camp Meade, Oct. 29.-Fifty men
from this cantonment, including
eight Baltimoreans, packed up theil
belongings this morning and hoped
aboard a train on the first part OF
their long journey to France.
I The orders which the men received
said nothing about trip across The
sea, but nobody here doubts that in
the near future their destination viii
lie in the direction named. The sc
left here for place not far from al
embarkation point, so that if order
are issued for speedy departure for
the fighting zone there will be n
great delay.
No fuss or furry was made over
the giving of the orders. The meL
were called to the offices of Their
commanders. told that they were tc

were enjoh p maintain the strict
est secrecy.N news reached many
of the men a different compa-
MES, and they e up to wish the
departing ones luck. Most o.
the men frankly WED the lot O.
those selected I lie chosen so were
considered the lucky guys, and the!
felt the same way about it them
selves. In fact, there was a gooG
number of volunteers and many hac
to be disappointed. Certain require
ments which comparatively few O.
the men possessed were necessary to
be numbered among the elect.
The uneXpectedness of the order
and the impossibility on the part O.
the men to find time to say goodbye
to relatives will come as a shock tC
those at home, but that is war. The
actions and movements of the army
cannot be heralded far and wide
The same situation which surround
ed the departure OF the 1000 Mary
landers for Atlanta a week ago at
tended the departure of those TO-DAY.
1t is quite likely that from time to
time other men will be sent away il
the same quiet, almost stealthy,man
ner.
The people back home can rest as
sured that the men will go away
calmly and bravely, most of them
cheerfully. They are longing to gel
over there and see the show from
the first row. Certainly those who
said goodbye to camp this morning
were a jolly-loolling set of men, with
their blankets and mess kits and big
comfort bags filled with knickknacks
draped about them.
More and more the meaning OF
this war is being impressed upon the
men, and more and more they are
learning the rules of this terrible
game. But the learning Of this game
is bringing no depression. Indeed
some of the things that bring home
to the men the seriousness of the
work before them are hedged around
with a certain amount of cheerful
ness which stimulates and heartens
them and banishes worry from their
minds.

THE FIFTY. POUND COW.

A new worlds record for all breeds for butterfat production in the seven. day division was established by the pure. bred Holstein. .FriesiaD COW, Segis Payne Johanna 114658, in a test end. ing January 8, 1917. This remarka- ble COW produced 50 6e pounds of but. ter in seven consecutive days, and the official test was conducted by super visors from the New York State Agri. cultural College, Ithaca. N. Y.
 Segis Payne Johanna, by her won derful achievement, is now the most talked of COW in the world, and her sensational record marks a signal triumph in the forward march of the Holstein- -Friesisn breed.
 She was berd by A. A. Cortelyou, of Somerville, N. J, and her present owner is Oliver Cabana, Jr.. proprietor of Pine Grove Farms, Elma Center, N. Y., at which noted establishment four other worlds record holders have been developed during the past six months.
 The new worlds record holder fresh ened at the age of years, ? months and IT days. She IS four .fifths white, weighs about 145H pounds, and is sired by King Payne Segis 46767. Her dam is Vikina Johanna 64385. a daughter of Johanna Rue 3d's Lad and Vikina Clothilde.

WITHOUT AGITATORS
 INDUSTRY FLOURlSHEs
Figures Show Big Increase In Wages
 and Factories In Queens.

Wherever labor agitators are few, there industry fourishes and workers are prosperous. This is the lesson to be gleaned from the remarkable indus trial growth in the Borough of Queens. New York City, as shown by the fig ures recently compiled by the Bureau of Census for the year 1914.
 The figures record a decided gain not only in the number of new facto ries. capital invested in manufactur ing, and the value of manufactured products, but also in the sum total of salaries and wages and the number of salaried employees and wage earners since tie taking of the last census in 1909. from a percentage standpoint the increase over the several items was as follows:
 Salaried employees, 62.7 per cent; sal aries, sos per cent; wages, 35 per cent; wage earners. 30.7 per cent; capital in vested. % per cent; number of facto- ries, 266 per cent: value of products S.8 per cent.
 While complete figures have not Leen published as yet for all the cities and States, still from the figures that are now available it is evident that the Borough of Queens for the year 1914 exceeded in the value of its manufac- tured products many States of the Union, such as Vermont, Delaware. Oregon, Florida, and Wyoming; it ex- ceeded. also, in this respect every city in New York State. with the exception of Buffalo In fact, there were not more than fifteen or sixteen cities in the United States which produced man. ufactured products greater in value than those made in Queens for the the year 1914.- Nndustrial ConserVa- ton, W. Y.
