eve must speed up the farm, max

productive" says Prof. Ten Eyck OF
Illinois. "To double the acre yield on
many fields now being titled" he says,
''is possible by giving the proper atten-
ton to the simple fundamentals Of
crop production, such as drainage, seed
selection, more timely and thorough
tillage, the proper rotation of crops
and the fertilization of the soil.
Fertilization Of the soil means the
use of any available plantfood such as
manure, legumes and commercial fer
tilizers. All of these forms should be
used this year. The same raw ma
terials used in making fertilizers such
as nitrate Of soda, potash and sui
phuric acid are used in war munitions.

Secretary Wilson Says
People Ought to Provide
Full Man Power for War

Is this a capitalists war? Do you
believe the pacifists and pro-Germans?
Read this extract from a speech by
Secretary of Labor Wilson at st.
Paul:
''If this is a capitalists war, then it
follows that congress and the presi-
dent have been dominated by capital
ism in declaring war, and it would fol-
low also that they would be dominated
by capitalism in pursuing the war. And
yet, instead Of permitting capital to
secure profits at will, one of the first
powers granted the war administration
was to fix prices at which capitalists
should sell their products of labor !;
the selling price Of coal at the mines
was fixed, the price of wheat, the price
of certain metal products and the price
of copper fixed.
'But in no instance has there been
any attempt on the part Of the admin
istration to fix the maximum price that
Should be paid for labor.

the two we'll dressed individuals left

The rest of the story is easily told.
The basket was carried home and

Ns.a4 hetuseQ
Pastor Offers to Provide
Women to Till the Farms

Speedy filling of the labor shortage
on the farms Of Luzerne county, Penn,
is indicated in the offer by Rev. Nicho-
las Chopey of the Wilkes-Barre Greek
Catholic church Of 100 women of his
congregation, who will gladly enter
service If proper housing quarters are
supplied. Farmers have said that next
years paintings depend entirely upon
labor; that it will be useless to extend
cultivation under present conditions,
and that the likelihood is, rather, to-
ward a cutting down Of the acres.
"Back of the 100 volunteers" said
Father Chopey, "stand regiment Of
women, who will follow the example Of
the pioneers, provided the farmers do
their part" The Wilkes-Barre branch
of the public service committee, has
accepted the volunteers, and a COM
mittee will canvass the country dis
tricts for support from the agricultur-
lists.

TO A SOLDIER IN FRANCE

Oh If today you dream of home,
Think of the road we know
Untangling blue skein of hills;
And how the birches grow
Against the light, and Of that day
Only year ago!
For here alone those hills again
Your little son and I
Are wishing the enchanted trail
Would lead us round the sky
And drop US in a Flanders field
To see you marching by.
And now the child is eager for
A wonder-tale of Greece;
I tell him how you sailed away
Like Jason for the Fleece,
To find a glory more than gold
Beside the winding Lys.
But while his deep eyes glow and glow
1t seems another tells
The tale and beauty to my heart
No world of meaning spells.
And the river on the valley-fioor
Flows over Flemish bells

Bible Stops Bullet.

When that American Sunday school
scholar gave his nickel for Tesla
ment for soldier in Europe he did
not know that the Testament would
stop a bullet within an inch of a
French soldiers heart and save his
life.
But Eugene Dufall, that gallant
French soldier whose life was saved
by that Testament, knows it, and he
will always be grateful to some I'M
known American Sunday school boy,
or It may be girl, who that Sunday
back in America did his bit toward the
100000 Testaments and Gospels
which have gone to Europe through
the cooperation Of the Worlds Sun
day School association and the Amer
lean and other Bible agencies.
This new Testament was given him
at Dieulefit, the first camp in Dau-
phine, by the French Bible society. On
January 10, 1917, he was carrying 1t
on his chest In the Schonholtz wood,
before Altkirch Tin Alsace), when
bullet from q machine gun glanced
from a tree or rock, struck him on the
breast and entered the Testament.

Grandma Says There Is Bound to
Come Time in Every Girls Life
When She Wants to Put on
Woman's Clothes.

81 am worried about Sue Charlotte"
observed Mrs. Bardunkle. "She wants
to be young lady and wear corsets
and q belt and high heels like Roberta
Cublets, and I want her to be a girl
for while yet, and wear loose clothes
and low heels, and be athletic and
childlike."
"Oh, let the girl wear anything she
wants to-" urged Roberta's grandma.
"She will get tired of being lady and
want to be girl again before long.
High heels and things look exciting
long way off, but as soon as sensible
girl like Charlotte finds out that they
hurt she will have nothing more to do
with them.
II remember how it was when was
girl. 1 wanted corsets and belts
and things that were ladylike and UNI
comfortable. But, of course, my moth
er wouldn't let me have any of them
and had to get them on the sly.
"Why, can remember when the de-
sire to wear those things was so
strong in me that 1 grabbed an old
pair that 1 found on a heap of dis
cards. They weren't all there, but l

more, put them on. 1t was a strug-
gle, for was rather stout girl and the

ed two stout girls to strap around me

zone day my mother saw me thus
arrayed, my ample waist transformed
into what 1 thought was something
waspish, and she almost tainted with
surprise besides exploding with amuse-
ment. / didn't mind the surprise, but
the amusement wasn't what l wished
to excite, so L took the things off and
was glad to be comfortable once more"
II went through the same thing" OBJ
served Bardunkle, with my first col
lar, long pants and socks. They didn't
have any boys size collars in my day,
and I looked the town over trying to
find one. I think size il was what l
wanted and 1 had to compromise on
size 16 and celluloid at that, and the
thing had q way Of parting from the
| tie in front. Stockings transformed In
to socks were hard to manage, too, and
they had way Of coming down and
dangling around my feet in spite OF
various ingenious devices which I en-
ployed to keep them up. Cuffs also
refused to be violetlike and protruded
some six or seven inches.
"My efforts to be man provided
very fair comedy, but persisted until
1 got collar I could not draw my head
down through. 1t was lady's collar
that I pinned to the inside Of my coat
collar. I was indeed proud and happy
on that day. Socks, however, are still
bugbear, and will be glad when a
sensible substitute is provided.

and have throw at the woman's game
If she thinks it will be fun. She will

Punish the SIackers Who
Gain Release Through Crime

Dishonorable discharges from the
army, which many officers believe have
been seized upon by slackers as the
vehicle Of escape from military serv-
ice, will no longer provide such oppor-
tunity, under an order issued by Sec
rotary Baker. For several weeks the
army has been losing men at the rate
of 100 to $50 a day. They chose to
commit offenses which led to their dis
honorable discharge. In the future,
Secretary Baker ordered, such men
will get terms Of Imprisonment with
their discharges, and whenever posi-
Bile some other form Of sentence will
be used.

to get water, took Ashton with him.
The young man helped fill the water
casks, but at the first opportunity
slipped into the bush. The pirates
searched for him in vain.
For five days the young American
sat at the edge of the woods ana
watched the island of the pirates. On
the fifth day their ship sailed away
and he felt safe, even though alone on
a desert island.
Clad only in IAN Osnaburg frock
and trousers a milled cap, but neither

else" the youth lived alone nine
months on this island. He found it to
be "yell-watered, with high hills ana

fruit trees. He lived on figs, COCO
nuts and IAN orange, oval-Shaped, OF

There were wild pigs on the island,
and turtles on the beach, but he had
no knife or weapon, and no means OF
making fire for cooking meat.

stepped out of it. He proved to be

But the youth now had knife and

the diet it afforded.
Three months passed. Then the
young sailor, wandering on the beach,
found the old mans canoe stranded.
In this he left the island, and reached
another: but being chased away by
buccaneers he kept on, finally reach

"Buddeized Milk" Can Be
Kept Twenty-0ne Days,
Two Physicians Declare

There is a way of preserving milk
for 81 days without spelling it in any
way. Health Commissioner John Dill
Robertson and DR.. w. A. Evans, for
mer commissioner, testified to this be-
fore the Chicago milk commission.
It's called ''Buddeized milk, and It's
treated to a 1 per cent solution OF
neroxide. and then heated to 12O de-
grees Fahrenheit.
The use of this milk would not only
bring down the price, Doctor ROBIN
son testified, but it would certainly
preyent any possibility of milk fam
Inc when the railroads are storm
bound.
The use of the "Buddeized' milk, the
two doctors said, permits wholesale
buying by the housewife, and permits
the bringing Of milk from greater dis
tances. 1t will permit a city to get a
nrice that is determined on a butter
fat and cheese factory basis-which IS
much less, they say, than the present
prices.

Children Operate Furnaces.

A certain element Of romance In steel
making is suggested in an account re-
ceived from England Of the operation
of a two-ton electric steel furnace at
Sheffield, says the Scientific American.
The furnace is entirely hand operated
through a control worked In conJunc-
tion with recording ammeters; but the
chief point Is the size of the operator.
A boy of fourteen or fifteen runs the
furnace constantly. and other furnaces
of this particular type are now OPP
Grated in the same manner by girls,
owing to the scarcity of male labor.
The whole is an object lesson in the
steadiness and simplicity of the new
tyne Of steel-making furnace. Such
results would have been ridiculed only
a few years ago.
