Yesterday was a great day for the
Allies and today those divisions
which were engaged in the sanguin-
airy struggle received a message
commencing them for the magnifi-

claimed considerable ground which
the Germans had held since KENNEL

Plants and Insects.

Some plants are very accommodate
ing to the insects, but not voluntarily.
For instance, the oak and the willow
and other variety of trees, grow gals
that furnish homes for the young Of
the insects and store up supply of
food that lasts until maturity. A num-
Der of hymenopterous insects, or crea-
lures with membraneOus wing, lay
their eggs In the bark of trees. While
depositing the eggs they secret a tiny
drop of poison with the ova. This liq-
uid is the signal to the tree to hurry
up and construct gall. Several lay
ers of cells swell out Of the tree, max
ing a comfortable cabin for the larvae
that will soon be Matched. But the
tree does more than this. 1t stores up
in the inside of the gall a quantity Of
starch, and the larvae now have ample
food until the day arrives when they
will wing their way into the world.

When you buy one of the u. S.
government War Savings Stamps you
make the kind of investment capitalists
are anxious to get.
There's not doubt but that moneyed
men would soon take all the issue Of
War Saving stamps if they could,
With the payment Of the interest and
principal guaranteed by the honor and
resources of this nation, and an interest
rate of 4 per cent compounded four
times year, no other investment offer
is quite so attractive as this.
But the government wants it's War
Savings certificates to be owned by the
millions of Americans. That's why it
says that no person can hold more than
$1,000 worth (maturity value) of these
'.little baby bonds" That's why the
stamps are in small denominations.
You can buy War Savings stamp
in February for $413, in March for
81 IA, and so on until December of this
wear when the price will be 81 70. You
can buy government Thrift stamps for
25 cents each. They will help people
save many quarter and may be used
IN the purchase of the interest bearing
War Savings stamps. Both denomina-
rons are tax free.
Start today to be an investor, capt.
talist. We Americans need the saving
nabit. Uncle Sam is giving us right
now the best chance in the world to get
it The money we lend will help win
the war.
The stamps are on sale at banks,
postoffices and your store. Buy some
today.

and your voice is wonderful" She
lapsed into Inconsistencies but Reyn-
olds had heard enough She had
dreamed of him, too; that was more
than he had hoped for.
The boarding house mistress did not
object to having Violet moved to the
hospital. 1t was relief to be leSSened
Of her care. She would have sent her
long before, had not the girl, afraid
of mourning an expense she could not
meet, pleaded to stay.
1t required a skillful operation to
bring her back to health. The trouble
was in her throat and the thought
that her power of speech depended on
his skill nerved Doctor Reynolds to
keener effort. Careful care for days
rewarded him at length by signs of i'm
prOvement, and once on the right road,
ViOlet's recovery was a speedy one.
She was sitting in the sunroom, con-
valescent, when Doctor Reynolds one
day entered.
"Tell me, DOCTOR" she asked, "why
were you so kind to me? The nurses
tell me your operation saved my life"
He tried to smile his way out of an
explanation. "It would never have
done to have that voice of yours ru-
ined, would it? You can't realize what
comfort I got from it on many tired
night"
ooh :" she exclaimed. 81 was think
ing Of training for nurse and giving
up the telephone, but If my voice helps
you I'll go back to the telephone Office"
"YOu don't need TO do either to
please me most" he said, wheeling her
chair over among the palms. II am
going to tell you how your voice and
you can be with me all my life, God
willing"

This solution is held in tub, barrel
or other suitable container. When the
salt is well dissolved the rye is poured
slowly and stirred vigorously at the
same time. 1t is q job for two men.
The ergot and light seeds will rise to
the top and the sound kernels will sink
to the bottom. The ergot is skinned
off until the solution rises and runs
over the side of the tub, carrying with
it the ergot when assisted by hand or
skinner If the ergot does not float,
the solution is strengthened by adding
more salt and stirring until it dis
solves.
Ergot does not usually live over win
ter in dry grain in storage, so that old
seed is practically safe to sow without
treatment. If it is wanted for feed 81
milling, however, the ergot should be
removed.

Anything like q uniform schedule
Of wages is difficult or impossible.
Moreover, the other conditions are va
riable. The quality Of board and
lodging, the hours Of labor, special du-
ties such as milking and stock feeding,
are conditions as various as possible.
Little or nothing has been done to
standardize these conditions Some of
the men seeking employment refuse
to milk or to do chores, and some are
very strict concerning the hours Of
labor. Hence the man and the place
have to be matched
Without standards for wages and
conditions Of labor, the power of any
organization to place men satisfactor-
lily on farms is strictly limited. Add
ed to that is the fact that a large pro-
portion Of our farmers are not mem
bers Of any organization.
