MARS FIRST AID TO CUPID
Couple Parted by Parents Are Re-
united in Marriage When Man
Becomes Officer.

Gates Mills, O.-The whole world
loves a fighter-not lover. That's the
way the adage goes now. Second Lieut.
Charles S. Bailey of the Ohio Field ar.
tillery and Addie Schmunk, eighteen,
daughter of Robert ]. Schmunk, motor
car magnate, have found it out.
Two years ago the young folks, very
much in love with each other, defied
stern parents and were married in the
Office of a justice of the peace. The
parents, however, were not to be out
done. They had the marriage annulled
and broke a couple of hearts for the
time being.
But since that time Bailey has been
graduated from Ohio university and
has been made an officer in the artil-
lery and he's going away to France,
and that changes things. They have
been married again. The first affair
was rather lonely and only two wit
nesses besides the contracting parties
were present. The second event was
one of the social events of the season
In this little city.

Gloucester fishermen arriving at this
port say that enormous schools of
mackerel have been moving off Cape

the fish TO market.
According to Gloucester men the
great cold storage plant on the hsf
pier at Boston has been filed by the
mackerel pouring in and there is nc

WHERE SEASONS ARE MIXED
Caves Exist in United States in Which
Ice Freezes in Summer and
Thaws in Winter.

There are several caves in the Unit
ed States where nature seems to have
become confused as to the seasons, ac-
cordlng TO Popular Science Monthly.
During the late spring and sum-
mer ice forms and a freezing tempera-
ture prevails, but as winter comes on
the interior of the caves becomes mild
er, the ice gradually melts and kind
of subdued summer sets In under
ground.
One of these peculiar caves is TO be
found at Coudersport. Pa, and one at
DEBORAH, Ia. The superstitious among
the residents of those localities
give the caves a wide berth and look
with suspicion upon any one daring
enough to attend to investigate them.
Edwin S. Balcb of Philadelphia, who
has made a study of the subterranean
ice mines, as they are called, states
that according TO the theory evolved
by investigators the formation of the
caverns is such that the cold air of
winter does not penetrate and settle in
them until late in the spring at the
time when the water fOm spring
thaws is seeping through the walls
and roof. This water meeting the cold
air freezes and stays frozen all sum-
me until, as the fall season APP
proaches, the warm summer air at last
finds its way into the cave and melts

GrumbIlnas of the Farmers.

Farmers in Sussex county, Delaware,
report that the caterpillars are killing
the leaves on the apple trees, snails
are damaging the roots of the cucum-
bers, moles are killing off the potato
plants, wild garlic is spelling the milk
cool nights are retarding the growth OF
vegetables, the grape-berry worm is
boring into the grapes, cutworms are
killing the tomato vines, wet weather
has damaged the Strawberries, the cul-
tivation of the corn crop is being re-
tarded by the wet fields and the rust
is in the wheat. Outside of these few
things, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
Sussex county is all right and will
raise big crops.

or from other causes. Srch land held
for wheat should be disked frequently
during August and September. Where
wheat is to follow beans, potatoes or
corn, the lard should be disked as soon
as possible after the crop is removed.
From two to four bushels increase
can be expected in the wheat crop
after suitable application of lime.
Acid phosphate and other fertilizers
are much more effective on soils well
supplied with calcium carbonate. An
indirect benefit, but an important one,
nevertheless, is the great increase In
the stand of clover secured after linn
ing. Two tons of finely ground lime
stone or two cubic yards of mari or
1900 pounds of hydrated lime are the
amounts usually applied.
Manure for Wheat.
Manure is the most effective fertil-
izer used on the farm. In preparing
wheat land, an application of manure
at the rate of six or eight tons per
acre will greatly benefit the crop, for
not only is plant food supplied, but
the water-holding capacity of the soil
is greatly increased. 1t is not wise,
however, to manure land high in or
ganic matter previous to planting
wheat. Just before winter a light
top dressing of manure or straw will
prove very effective in preventing win
ter-killing and in giving the wheat a
good start in the spring. Manure,
however, is deficient in phosphorus,
and the benefits derived from its use
will be greatly increased if it is re-en-
forced with acid phosphate or rock
phosphate.

THE RUSH.

Consider the squad as one unit of
ployed for the sire attack" If it is i'm
practicable for the company to adj
vance as a whole against the enemy's
lines, it may advance in rushes. This
is done either by platoons or by squad.
The new line to be occupied is indi-
Gated by the platoon leader or the cap
tain of the company, who gives the
command "By squad, from the right
Qeft) RUSHw This means that the
squad on the extreme right of the
company is to move, or rush, to the
new line first.
The men Of the squad, who may be
lying fiat on the ground, or in kneel-
ing position, gather themselves in read
mess to spring forward. The corporal,
at the word "RUSHw cries "FollOw
mel" and, running at top speed, and
bent over to offer as small a target
as possible to the enemy, leads the
squad to the new line. Here the men
drop to the prone position at the cor
poral's command or the signal for
halt" made by thrusting the arm up
vertically from the shoulder, and at
his command reopen fire. Unless the
platoon or company commander has
designated the distance to be covered
in the rush, the corporal of the squad
selects the new line.
After the first squad has taken up
the new line, the other squads fol-
low in succession, each starting the
rush when its immediate predecessor
has gained the new line. The various
positions that the soldier takes In the
skirmish line for firing, such as lying
prone or kneellng, will be explained in
another article. 1t should also be
stated that a knowledge of the rifle
must be assumed in this and later
illustrations of extended-order work,
since the manual of arms, loadlngs and
firings cannot be adequately put down
on paper for young recruits. More so
than any other part of the drill regu-
lations, this must be taught by con-
crete example. In other words, the

with the rifle when he has a rifle in
hand, but he may otherwise school

ments which accompany or are predi-
Gated upon the use of the rifle, for he
can carry through the squad or COM
pany movements with broomstick.
For various reasons, depending upon
the immediate situation, II may be nee
essary for the squad to increase or d.
mlnish the interval at which the men
are deployed. For instance, the space
TO be covered may be wider or mar
rover than the ten PAGES which the
normal interval would give for the
squad front, or, he fire of the enemy
may at this point be so shot" that, In
order to advance against it, the
chances of casualties must be reduced
by widening the space between the
men.
previously stated, 1t is desirable to
cover a wider front, instead Of the
command. "As skirmishers, MARCH !"
(when the men deploy at half-pace in
tervals), the command may be, "As
skirmishers, at two PAGES, MARCH 7"
This would mean that, instead of the
half-pace, or Is inches, twice the full
pace, or 60 inches, would intervene be-
tween each two men. This would ex-
tend the squad front over n distance of
approximately 20 PAGES, or so feet, and
thus increasing the front of, or the ter
ritOry covered by, the squad, reduce
materially the chance OF each man be-
ing hit.
1t is essential for the new soldier to
pay the closest heed to extended-order
drill, for it symbollzes real fighting.
He must be so grounded in the details
of it that he will execute them auto
matically when in action, for, once I'M
der fire, he will have plenty of things
to think about besides how he is to
reach the designated point at the des-
ignated time. The use of his rifle viii

WOOD ASHES GIVE POTASH
Michigan Farmers Urged to Save
Them-Are Worth $25 to
$35 Ton.

East Lansing, Mich.-Wood ashes,
once heaved carelessly over the back
fence, have been made a product Of
great value as fertilizer as a result
of the price war has placed upon pot
ash, according to fertilizer experts OF
the Michigan Agricultural college.
Analyses have revealed the fact that
wood ashes contain enough available
potash to make them worth now from
S25 to $50 a ton.
Farmers should take every precau-
ton to conserve the supply produced
on the farm" Prof. A. ]. Patten Of
the experimental chemistry station
declares. wood ashes have a high
value on account of the potash they
contain. Ashes from hard wood con-
tain. when dry. from TO per cent
of potash and are worth from $25 to
$50 per ton. or in other words it would
require S25 to $50 TO purchase as much
potash in the form of commercial fer
tilizers as is contained in one ton of
average hard wood ashes. Soft wood
ashes usually contain less than 3 per
cent of potash, but enough to make IL
profitable to carefully preserve them.
AS the potash in ashes IS readily sol
uble in water, the ashes should be
stored under cover until used.
Besides potash, ashes contain 116
to per cent of phosphoric acid and
80 to 60 per cent of lime. Leached
ashes seldom contain more than i per
cent Of potash, and II used at all they
should be considered as a source of
lime rather than potash. and be pur-
chased on that basis. Ashes from corn
cobs contain more than 30 per cent of
potash, and where aVy quantity of
cobs can be obtained they should be
burned and the ASHES utilized as a
source of potash. Coax ashes contain
only traces of potash and they pos
sess very little II any value from the
fertilizer standpoint"
