serve Corps to Take Place
of Regular Officers.
MEN FOR VARIOUS TASKS

Colonel Daniel Mccarthy, formerly
OF this city, father Of the plan for a
quartermaster reserve corps, who
started the ball rolling two years ago
today, has begun a campaign to in
crease the reserve in the Central de-
partment, of which he is quartermas-
ter, to 5000 men.
1t was Colonel McCarthy's idea
that in time of war a man who had
been in the shoe business all his life
might we'll superintend the buying Of
army shoes, and thus release mill
tary officer for other service. The
nucleus of an organization was
formed and is now about to be ex-
banded to full strength.
Men from Is to IS years Of age are
eligible. and, while there are certain
examinations necessary, the main
qualification is that the applicant
shall be able to do a certain piece Of
work. Forty motor truck companies
are to be formed, eighty wagon COM
panies, eight pack train companies,
seven bakery companies, and so IN.

comes less than $4,000. They all pay
2 per cent. Under the proposed law
the surtax starts at the $1,000 income.
A married man, for instance, with an
income OF $4,000 would pay per cent
on the income in excess of his $1,000
exemption, which would be $l60, and
a surtax OF I per cent on the amount
in excess of the $4,000, which would
be an additional $40.
On incomes of $4,000 the proposed
bill makes surtax of 3 per cent. A
married man, for example, with a
$4,000 income pays only Sl2O year
income tax now. Under the new bill
he would pay $40.
The lone Nebraskan who has an in
come between 100000 and 100000
now pays about $4,000 income tax.
Under the proposed bill he would pay
about 100000 per year tax.

A Medical Mongoos

We can manufacture poisons within
our own bodies which are as deadly as
q snakes venom.
The liver acts as guard over our
well-being, sitting out the cinders and
ashes from the general circulation. A
blockade in the intestines piles a
heavy burden upon the liver. II the in
testines are choked or clogged up, the
circulation Of the blood becomes pois-
oned, the system becomes loaded with
toxic waste, and we suffer from auto
intoxication or ptomaine poisoning.
Something is wrong with the liver,
and we suffer from headache, yellow
coated tongue, bad taste in mouth,
nausea, or gas, acid dyspepsia, Ian
guor, debility, skin or eyes yellow, the
water is scant and high colored, con-
tanning "brick-dust" deposits and bile
pigments, at such times one should
drink plenty Of water between meals,
and a pint Of hot water before break

END OF SHIP
FIGHT NEAR

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20.
End of the Goethals-Denman
controversy with action toward
speeding up the governments
shipbuilding program, was in
sight today.
Chairman Denman held out the
olive branch with a statement that
the shipping board was receiving
every assistance and cooperation
from Gen. Goethals that his great
ability could give"
Denman won his contention
that the proposed two govern
ment shipyards should be on land
government-owned, not leased.
Goethals is still to furnish the
board with information on his
project to fabricate 400 steel
ships, and some serious differ
ences may arise over 100000
600 contracts for this work.
The state department will see
tie the Goethals-Denman argu-
ment over Communicating British
and other allied shipping under
construction in the country.
II may be several weeks before
the shipping board replies to the
senate's request for full informa-
ton on the shipping program.

Mayor Fawcett issued a procla-
nation Friday calling upon all
owners of automobiles in Tacoma
to turn their machines into jitney
buses, and promising immunity
from arrest so long as exorbitant
fares are not charged.
Fawcett also suggested that
drivers of these jitneys put signs
on their cars announcing the route
which they are operating along.
Altho the law prohibits opera

and mayor have agreed not to
make any arrests If the public
wishes to assist in handling trans
portation during the strike.

The Unions

Z EDITOR THE TINES:
The Times says, Stand by the
Unions"
History tells us that the rich
and power-holding classes have
slaughtered millions of the work
ers of the world in order to check
the rising tide of democracy rep
resented by the labor unions,
which have been. in existence for
thousands of years.
The attempt on the part of the
Protective association to destroy
the unions is the most foolish
proposition ever proposed by in
telligent men.
Long centuries of success on
the part of the unions in better
ing the condition of the workers
is evidence of the fact. They
have always shown a willingness
to sacrifice their time, their tai
tnts, their money and their lives
In order to free themselves from
the explorations of the power
holding classes.
We are told that the coal min
ers of Illinois only short time
ago gave 5000, 700 to their bro
theirs in virginia to help them In
their struggle for better eondi-
tiOns.
During q single decade, the
unions of this country have sac
rificed in loss OF time and money
epent to carry on their work,
$50. 900. 900.
Destroy organizations carried
on by such multitudes OF SELL
sacrificing people! Never. LABOR
unions and socialism are the hope
OF the world.
The general committee of the
carmen's union asks q very per
tinent question: Shall we allow
freedom to live in our fair land.

Associated Press American ambas7
sadors and Ministers abroad are send
ing in their designations to the State
Department today in order that the
President may not be embarrassed
at the beginning Of his new term Of
Office. Although it was reported a
few months ago that many changes
would be made in the diplomatic corps
it is hardly thought that there will be
great shift at present. The demands
Of the war have put American diplo-
mats to a strain never before dreamed
of and it is realized that in many in
stances it would be almost folly to
send new men to places occupied by
diplomats who have been handling
delicate situations in a mastery way.
A few members Of the corps are felt
by officials to have proved themselves
incapable Of the peculiar duties i'm
posed on them and as a result the
Inauguration of a second term is well
coined as an opportunity to strength
en- the service.

making the ceremony for delivering
his inaugural address. The usua!
special session of Congress will meet
Monday to consider nominations. This

friends of the President and men,
bers Of the national Legislature who
have been attracted by the prospect
of seeing and greeting Mr.. Wilson.
Although it is certain that many
women's organizations will take part
in the inaugural parade, it is believed
that the Inaugural committee has
succeeded in putting a quietus on
many of the sensational features
planned by some Of the suffragists.

the United States declared war he
was to offer the Mexican government

How the American government re-
ceived the information about the in
structions, which were sent by Sc

Mr.. l. Gelman Receives Card Through
the Lines from His Parents at
WalOzen.

A post card telling Of conditions
that exist in Russia and Poland, as q
result of the terrific warfare that has
been waged in that section has been
received by Mr.. l. Gelman, Of this
city, from his parents, who live at
Walozen, Russia, just seven miles
from the firing line. The card was
mailed on the 14th of November and
was received just week ago.
The card was in two parts. The
blank side Of the card was first writ
ten, telling the actual conditions that
existed, saying that the people Of that
country were literally starving. Over
this was pasted thin sheet Of white
paper upon which was written mes
sages Of good cheer, telling the son
that all was well with his parents
and even described the scenes Of his
childhood, speaking Of the domestic
life of the family and Of the good
conditions enjoyed.
Mr.. Gelman received the card last
Monday and after reading it threw it
aside. 1t became damp and the white
sheet paster on top Of the card be-
came loosened. Mr.. Gelman noticed
something strange about the looks Of
the card and recovered it. Upon ex-
animation he learned that the mes
sages of cheer and contentment were
only veil used to secure passage by
the authorities Of the true conditions.
Mr.. Gelman has been in the United
States seventeen years, many Of
which he has lived in Greenwood.

plants appear above ground, it should
be broken by the use Of harrow.
CULTIVATION: As soon as the
plants appear above ground, the sur
face soil should be well stirred with
harrow tooth cultivator. Good cul-
tivation should be maintained through
out the growing season with an occa-
sional hoeing if necessary to keep
down weeds. Toward the last the
soil should be worked up around the
plants to hold them erect and protect
the tubers from the sun. Cultiva-
tion should be shallow and always
performed when the soil is dry. z
HARVESTING: In the absence Of
a potato digger ,plow two burrows on
outside of row and run two morse
middle breaker directly under the CEN
ter of the row deep enough to prevent
cutting the tubers. Do not allow
them to stay in the sun. Always dig
when the ground is dry.
DISEASE AND INSECT PESTS:
Potato bugs, flea beetles, and blight
are the most serious enemies Of this
crop. PYROX is recommended for
these pests. Use l pound to gal
Ions of water, mix thoroughly, keep
well stirred and spray both sides Of
the leaves. The first application
should be made when the plants are
about six inches high or when the
STRIPED BACKS" appear second
application ten days later, and il nec-
essary make third application.
Pyrox may be obtained from your To-
cal seed man or from Chris Reuter-,
New Orleans, La.
FERTILIZER: Stable manure is
fine when applied to the preceding
crop, but should not be applied to the
crop when fresh. A good mixture
for Commercial Fertilizer is: cotton
seed meal, 400 lbs, acid phosphate
200 MS, kainit 200 ibs. This to be
applied to one acre.
