From the County Council OF Defense.

The Iron County Council of Defense
is now working to secure alarge acre
age planted to food SUPPLIES in the
spring. All farmers are urged to plant
every acre possible. The labor prob.
lem will be acute, we know, but it can
be solved. In France and England
the old men and women, boys and
girls, work in the fields. The Ger
mans close the schools, two or three
days in the weeks, so that crops may
be grown. 1t may not be necessary
to do that here, perhaps, but we know
certainly that we MUST produce food
or die. The Council is interested also
in stamping out disloyalty. Let no
one speak or act against our govern
ment in this time of stress. Remem.
Der that we opposed preparedness for
all these years; that it takes time to
accomplish great results and to train
men; that large establishments are
necessary to turn out munitions, air.
planes, etc, and let us blame only our.
selves if we have not the proper
equipment on hand. All that we need
in that line is being made SO fast that
Europe is amazed at our progress, and
we may well trust our government at
this time. Therefore, the voice of the
critic should be low, and that OF the
pro-German not heard at all. Allow
no such vipers in your community.
He who is not with us Is against us,
and perforce a enemy. You know
how to treat such traitors. Loyalty is
the watchword now.

County has done very well, but not as

This is the greatest war activity out
side the actual bearing Of arms. Our
drive here will be continued. We
want every II in the county to wear
q Red Cross Button. II has come to
be considered the badge of loyalty,
and in many cities the absence of one
is likely to cause a person to be called
a Stacker.

THIS BIG BABY BOY
PUZZLE TO DOCTORS
Not Yet Three Years Old, He Weighs
100 Pounds.

Philadelphia. A 100 pound baby,
two years and nine months old, who
as a pastime moves furniture with the
ease of piano mover and who eats
as much as two adults ut each meal
Is bafiiing science.
Doctors from near and far have stud
led him. He has been Y rayed and
examined. They cannot find anything
abnormal about him except his weight
They cannot explain his growth. His
enormous weight is not due primarily
to fat, because his bones are as large
as those Of an adult FIVE feet eight
inches tall and weighing 154 pounds.
The baby is Billy Mccarthy, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. W. L. Mccarthy. When
he was born, Aug. %, 1914, in New
York city he weighed nine pounds and
twelve ounces.
He Immediately began to gain at
such phenomenal rate that when
he left the hospital with his mother
twenty-one days later he weighed thir-
ty-six pounds. A three weeks-old baby
weighing thirty-six pounds was an un.
heard OF thing even In New York city
He kept right on gaining until at nine
months he weighed eiglry-nine pounds
and now, although he will not be three
years old until Aug. %, he stands three
feet six inches In his stocking feet and
weighs 100 puonds.

TO RUSH FORESTRY
UNITS TO ENGLAND
Papermakers and Lumbermen Hurry
Their Equipment.

Washington.-Swift response to Great
Britaln's need for skilled lumbermen
and equipment for the British forces IN
France became known when il was an
nOunced at the headquarters of the
American Forestry association that ten
portable sawmlll and logging units
had been provided for early delivery 10
the English authorities. The units will
be fully equipped with skilled work
men and the machinery and general
outfits necessary TO conduct field log
ging and milling operations.
The plan has been worked out by a
committee of New England paper man
ufacturers. lumbermen and timber land
owners, headed by W. X. Brown, who
is member of the lumber committee
OF the Council OF National Defense aud
a director of the American Forestry
association.
This committee was appointed by the
Massachusetts Committee of Public
Safety, which short time ago re-
ceived information that England was
experiencing difficulty in securing suf-
ticient timber for its army operations.
Because of lack Of shipping facilities
for lumber 1t was proposed that New
England raise mill units to he sent over
sea. The offer was cabled and was
promptly accepted by the British war
office.
Coupled with the acceptance was an
offer of transport for the units. Armed
with this acceptance and with the IN
official approval Of Secretary of War
Baker, the Massachusetts committee
received the cooperation of the COVER
uors of ull the New England states and
placed the details Of raising the units
in the hands of the committee Of which
Mr. Brown is chairman. Nearly 400
men will be sent. They will serve as
civilian employees of the British gov.
eminent.
