ing signals OF a railroad watchman at

stopped at Nliddletown on their way
home. When the state Road railroad
crossing was reached, they noticed the
watchman waving 10 them and Splro
claims the wstchman signaled to come
ahead. 10 is contended by Antonio
Ricci, the watchmsn, however, that he
waved TO the automobile party to wait,
but that they evidently misunderstood
and drove directly in the path Of the
freight train

Of f. F. Tyre, conductor, and C. z.
Mills. engineer, was travelling at a rate

Magazine Writer'S Closeup
of Our General Pershing, as
a Man and American Soldier.

What Of General Pershing. who may
one day have as great an army as any?
The question is asked as often in Eu-
rope as in America. 1t is not, think,
known in America how deep a first i'm
preston his character as man and sol
der have made on the British and, in
deed, the French, writes w. Beach
Thomas in Harper's Magazine.
When he landed in England in June,
1916, one of the British newspapers,
whose correspondent had been for a
long while in his presence, compared
him with Moltke, who was silent in
seventeen languages" What General
PprShing, the master of several Philip
pine dialects, said was little and good.
When General Joffre shook his hand in
Paris a few weeks Iater-a scene wor-
thy Of d great historical memorabilia
said to one of his staff, General Per-
shing will think first and act after
wards" At all junctures the general
has been cool and prompt and deter
mined. His colonel in Cuba wrote OF
him. "He is the bravest and coolest
man under fire | ever saw in my life" "
His own recorded maxims are few; but
at the most worrying crisis in France
when news of the arrival Of American
troops was published while some of
those troops were still in the danger
zone at sea-he said, 81 do not worry,
and when the days work is over l go
to sleep"

immigration Promises to
Set New ReCord-SmaIIest
Since the Colonial Days

When the present fiscal year ends,
june 80. it is highly probable that Il
new immigration record will he set
The smallest since colonial days, says
the Washington Herald.
Immigration statistics Of the first
six months indicate that the years
total may be less than 100000 persons.
For the half-ycur ending January !,
1913, only 57,7II came 10 America, and
since then the monthly totals haV"
dwindled to few thousands.
The war. Of course, is responsible.
The real dwindiing began when the
United States entered the war. Since
that day only one country has sent
anything like the normal number of
immigrants. That is Japan, which
country now leads all nations in send
ing immigrants to America. japanese
immigration this year will reach 1000
as against 1929 in 1917, 8,711 in 1916
and 5000 in 1915. During the first
half Of this fiscal year COOS Japanese
arrived and they've been coming over
at the rate of more than thousand
4 month.
Italy, which before the war sent
over seven times as many immigrants
as Japan then did, this year will send
less than third as many.
Mexico, which sent 16,43S immi-
grants in 1917. will send less than
three thousand this year.

Find Markets for
Canned Goods
By he u. S. Department Of
Agriculture

Housewives and members Of can
ming clubs are urged to study their
market at the beginning Of the season
and pack according to the local de-
mands for different products. Ihey
are advised by the bureau of markets
Of the department to secure orders for
canned goods before putting them up.
Small lots of nOnstandardiZed prod
nets are difficult to sell except among
local buyers and are not purchased by
the army, navy, commercial dealers
or any department Of the government.
Many appeals to the department OF
agriculture to find market for home
canned goods have been made during
the past year and often the Gamers
believed that the government was in
the market for such goods. Subject
10 whatever regulations may be made
by the federal government, the mar
keting of food products will proceed
in the usual manner and the bureau of
markets points out that proper grad
ing, standardizing and careful prepa-
ration for market are especially nee
essary in handling canned goods. jams,
jellies and preserves.
Home-canned products can be kept
over from one season to the next and
those who have not sold their goods
have reserves to draw from for their
home table. 1t is good policy, say the
specialists, for the housewife to pro-
vide reasonable surplus beyond the
probable home consumption for tho
next crop year.
While the bureau of markets is Civ
ing aid to producers on marketing
problems it says that it is difficult TO
place producers of small quantities Of
different kinds of products in touci:
with buyers and urges home and club
cnnners to learn the marketing end Of
their business just the same as pro-
lucerS in other lines OF industry.
