SEND SMOKES TO SOLDIERS.
Barrel Of Tobacco Donated by Smokers
Turned over to Red Cross.


Turned over to Red Cross.
Marshalltown smokers, while enjoy
ing their own cigars and pipes, have
not been forgetful of the soldier boys,
especially those in France, who find 1t
difficult to secure tobacco. A barrel
Of smoking and chewing tobacco, do
mated by patrons of the Bliss Anderson
cigar store, has just been turned over
to A, A. Moore, chairman Of the Mar
shall county chapter Of the Red Gross,
for shipment to the Red Cross chapter
at Chicago to be added to christmas
kits for the boys at the front. In the
last donation, Mr.. Moore reports, were
fifty seven tins Of smoking tobacco,
1874 packages Of smoking tobacco, and
eleven plugs Of chewing tobacco. In
addition he received $1,000, donated at
the Anderson store, for forty-two kits
of tobacco and cigarets to be sent to
France. Tobacco donations have bee.i
made at other local cigar stores and
the total tobacco fund for the holidays
is expected to be very large.
The total effort Of the Marshalltown
smokers, however, may never be
known, as many have signed cards at
the cigar stores for the purchase of
cigars and tobacco to be sent direct
from the wholesale houses to the men
at the front. Many smokers have de-
creased their daily consumption Of to-
bocca to share their smoking fund with
the boys in service.

UNIQUE POTATO RAISING.

Manley Martin of Sheffield has been trying out the southern method of pos 10 raising and has found it quite applicable for this Berkshire climate. It is not the first instance of the kind that has been tried here successfully. Davis Bros. have thus experimented. But MT. Martin has raised potatoes suitable for table use within ten to twelve weeks from the time of plant. ing, and they have been free from ali attacks of potato hugs and other enemies to which the tuber is heir.
 MT. Martin has been carrying out his experiment. upon small patch of ground and began it first by laying upon the ground a quantity of straw upon which he placed potatoes as seed These he covered carefully with more straw. so that there is layer of-pota. toes and layer of straw, the upper layer being wieghted to some extent, sufficiently to keep it from blowing away.
 The ground gives sufficient moisture to keep the potatoes damp and the re. suit is quick sprouting and an abnor- mally forced growth, the upper layer of stray so conserving the heat that the seed is kept at an even temperature and as the cold air is kept out the tubers get good start and keep on growing until they are ready to use.
 There is no digging for the crop. All that is required is to remove the top layer of straw and pick up the potatoes as needed. The moisture is so tempered by the heat that the plants thrive re- markedly we'll and should there at any time be an excess of dryness it is speedily rectified by the straw retaining the moisture from the rain and con- serving it to those uses that have proved the best for plant life.
 Moisture produces deterioration of the lower strata of straw to that ex. tent that it serves to considerable degree as fertilizer to the growing plant, keeping the roots in good condi- tion and bringing about maximum of growth at a minimum of labor on part of the grower.
 The method is common in some parts of the South and has been facetiously termed "the lazy mans way of raising potatoes" but Manley does'Dt mind the imputation, as he gets practical re. suits from his unique experiment. Courier.

INSECTS HOME GUARD
Capt. Saunders Makes Official Visit
 to Canaan.

Friday night practically every mem. Der of the Canaan Home Guard was on band. The occasion was not cnly the regular drill night, but the company had been notified that H. H. Saunders of Norfolk, who had been detailed by Col. Geddes. commander of this divi. sion, would make an official inspection of the Company.
 The men made fine appearance as they marched from the town hall to the field with their guns, which they stacked in proper shape while the regu. lar drill was gone through with.
 The uniforms have made a great difference in the aspect of the men, as we'll as giving added dignity to the practice drills. With their guns they make really truly soldierly appear. ance and called forth favorable com. meut from Capt. Saunders.
 Many of the citizens had gathered to witness the drill automobile parties from out of town also stopped to ob. serve the maneuyers.
 Lieutenant Schmidt first put the Company through the regular drill and lilSh 0OOh up NllS uudluul OL dlulss llle boys did finely with the latter, con. sidering that the guns had only been used at drill hut three times.
 Capt. Saunders highly praised the work done, saying that the Canaan Company has put on the best exhibition of any Company he had yet inspected. He made several suggestions, particu. larly in regard to the manual of arms, urging that every man do his best to follow implicitly the orders given by the commanding officer
 He informed the members that they were equipped with better guns that some of the other Companies, theirs being new Springfield rifles.
 Captain Roraback has received from headquarters information that there will be issued to each company 1900 rounds of ball cartridges for target practice purposes, also certain "sealed ammunition" in cases to be stored with greab care and not to be opened except in great emergency.
 Because of the extra drills last week, there was none Tuesday night, but the usual drills will take place tomorrow night and also Tuesday and Friday night of next week.
