have been advising farmers to SOW

IL more productive. There are great
many Woodworking. honest farmers
anxious TO improve their farms and
build up their soils. They know how TO
farm TO build up their land. but they
arc obliged to farm according to their
pocSetbooks. They are using fcrtiS.er
on poor land to grow corn 10 feed their
mules. purchasing fertilizer on Il
twelve months note, then cannot raise
sufficient corn to pay off their notes.
They get out on the roads hauling rail
road ties. lumber. etc. and this thing
keeps going on year after year. their
farms getting poorer all the time and
less productive. They seldom or ever
SOW grass and clover and when they
do they use about one fourth the guam
tity Of seed required with the result
they neither have hay nor grazing TO
raise and feed live stock. ANY man
trying to make success of farming
without live stock. | consider, is like
unto the man who built his house upon
the sand. il is doomed to failure. Now
il the time to assist farmers to set
seed TO SOW lceuminous crops in their
corn at the last working.

SO writes good man who farms and

and. therefore. employs good many
lahorers. The Southern Railway, and
perhaps some others. already have
adopted plans to discourage the COM

laborcrs.
The tobacco working companies are
completing their plans to reduce the
size Of packages of cigarettes, cigars
and smoking and chewing tobacco
about % per cent in order to meet
the forthcoming war taxes OH the to-
hacco industry. Packages of cigar
cites in which ten smokes arc now in
cluded will probably contain eight. and
the larger packages will be reduced
from twenty to sixteen. The ;, 10 and
l5-cent packages of smoking tobacco
will be reduced in weight about the
same per cent, and the lo-Ceut plug
of chewing tobacco. the popular size,
will have several less chews in it.
Thus the war tax on tobacco. a on
other things. will be passed on to the
ultimate consumer.
Down in Greenville. S. G, the sim
ricity graduation dress idea has taken
deeper root even than in Nirg mia. The
Greenvillc News says:
The girls who were graduated at
the high school this year made the
dresses which they wore when they
received their diplomas. No girl is
deemed to have completed her educa :
ton At that institution unless she can
fashion her own clothes. There is per-
feet unanimity of opinion TO the effect
that these sweet girl graduates were
very lovely and fetching in their crea :
tons. The idea commcnds itself to
us All as sensible and admirable. as
we'll as in accord with democratic
ideals"
1t is not too late for some high
schools in this region to catch on to
that hint.

WASHINGTON. June 12.-The war
department today called for seventy
thousand additional recruits in order
FIJI the regular army to war strength
before June 80.
The cavalry, engineers. coast ar
tillery, signal corps and puartermas-
ter corps OF the regular army nave

"Forty-five thousand recruits are
needed at once to complete the new

are desired at the earliest practicable
date to fiji vacancies in order that the
war streGgth of three hundred thou
sand men may be maintained.
Facilities are in readiness for
placing these seventy thousand men
under proper training. Any delay III
obtaining this number will necessarily
cause loss of valuable time.

BOULEVARD WORK MAY
BE STARTED IN JUNE.
Park Board Goes Over Part
of Route; Will Begin Con-
struction Very Soon.

Members of the municipal park
board yesterday inspected new route
for one section the around-the-city
boulevard Instead Of going along the
river edge from the county bridge TO
the foot of Cheyenne avenue, the new
scheme proposes that the boulevard
shoot off from the river dt sixteenth
and run up to Elwood. thence south
on Elwood back 10 the river again
and over to Cheyenne. by taking this
route n big expense would be saved.
That portion OF the river front that
would thus be omitted Is filled with
huge draws and gullies and IL would
require a large sum to grade 1t and
still larger sum to maintain II.
The park board let it be known yes
terday that 1t was willing to consider
propositions from property owners
who will donate right-of-way for the
boulevard Such men will naturally
be given the preference In laying out
the route over those whose property
has TO be condemned.
1T is planned by the board TO start
Park Superintendent John Nelson
bacher to work on the project within
the next ten days. Actual grading
may be started in that time. Much
of the park routine will be tcmporar-
lily taken off Of the superintendents
