GROWTH OF THE ARMY
ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Before the
war began the United States gov
eminent employed approximately
100000 persons in the civil branch.
Now that this country is actually en-
gagged in the conflict, the great army
of workers behind the fighting forces
is growing by tens of thousands. A
good example of this rapid addition
of employees is in the civilian force
of the ordnance department Of the
army. Seven large privately owned
office buildings in Washington are
required to house the officials and
clerks of this force, in addition to
the usual quarters in the state, war
and navy building, which were suf-
ficient before Uncle Sam began to
prepare for war. The gun division
alone, which did not exist as a sep
arate division before we entered the
war, now has more than 1000 civil
ian employees besides about 800
commissioned officers, and it is esti-
mated that this division will be three
times it's present size within year.
The great manufacturing plants of
the ordnance department in various
parts of the country employed about
10000 men last spring. Now 20,-
900 are at work in these establish
ments.
The task of supplying these thou
sands of workers in the face of the
greatest demand for labor the coun-
try has ever known is the problem
of the United tates civil service COM
mission. At this time great numbers

LEO GUSHWA TALKS SPUDS

Leo Gushwa of Rose has worked
out plan for beating the season in
his potato culture that is too good
to keep. He gets the potatoes and
he gets the dough, and we are glad
to tell you how he does it.
Plant the potatoes early in the
spring and begin killing them up as
they begin to come thru the ground
Keep on killing up and the stem will
keep on developing while the cold
weather wears away. When the
danger Of frost seems past, take a
light harrow and go over the field
with the teeth slanting back. This
tears the ridges down somewhat,
breaks a stem here and there and
kills about all the weeds. When
there is a stem broken it or some
branch of it, generally grows and the
root supports it. Water the pota-
toes early in summer to push them

NO NEWS OF SOLDIER
MEANS HE is ALL RIGHT

Altho the failure to receive letters
| from men in the service is not pleas
ant to relatives and friends at home
the adage mo news is good news
never was more true than at present.
The report of every casualty at home
or abroad is Immediately wired or
cabled to officials at Washington,
being relayed from there without
loss of time to the emergency ad-
dress of the soldier or sailor affected.
1t is also at once released for pub
LEGATION in the newspapers. No news
of casualties has or will be held up.
No man in the service has received
orders not to write home; he has
been urged, on the contrary, to keep
in touch with relatives and friends.
The forces in France have at their
disposal post cards giving general
information in regard to health and
the receipt of letters and parcels,
which may be dispatched without
payment of postage.
Care is also taken to see that mail
intended for soldiers and sailors
reaches them promptly. Where the
regimental and company designation
of a soldier is not known it may be
secured by application to the adult
ant generals office, Washington, D.
C. In one week 1,674 letter with
insufficient addresses were received
at this office. On 1882 the addresses
were completed and they were for
warded, 1913 were returned to send
ers, So went to the dead-letter office,
because senders' addresses were not
given, and the balance were held
with the view that the addresses
migth be completed later.

WHOSE SWEATER?

BY Betty Hansey Of The Vigilantes.
Are you knitting yourself q per-
fectly lovely sweater this fall? And
If you are, for mercy's sake, why are
you?
When you start in on that knitting
and the big ball of rose or emerald
or palest azure yarn begins to bob
around and grow smaller and small
er as the long white needles click,
and the sweater coat enlarges its
area of rainbow-tinted warmth, there
is boy over in the trench Of France
or in the cantonments back here
who is going to be shy garment
that he ought to have, that he needs
and has q right to, and that 1t is
your bounded duty to see that he
gets. That garment is a battleship
gray sweater that will go under his
regular army buds and keep his
body alive and warm for democracy
You see there are a great many
girls who have not grasped the idea
that we are at war. They have not
grasped single thing except every
dollar they could get from father
and. having done this, they trotted
gaily out to buy skeins and skeins
of bright woods.
And our soldier boys are cold!
The mills are going to turn out
the yarns that are called for by the
wholesalers. And the wholesalers
are going to ask for the yarns that
are requested by the retailers. And
what are the retailers going to or
der? Huh! They are going to or
der just exactly what the pink little
cute girls all over this broad land OF
ours are buying today and were buy
