URGES MORE SNAIL FARMS
Department of Agriculture Points Out
Possibilities In Their Cultivation
In This Country.

One form Of shell food with definite
possibilities for development in this
country is the snail-the savory es-
cargot of France, long an interna'
ponal Joke, like frog legs, but seldom
failing to make Its way with the cpl
cure when fresh and properly pre-
pared. The department Of agriculture
considers snails important enough to
issue bulletin on snail farming There
is already a great demand from our
foreign-born population, which would
undoubtedly be increased If snails
were cultivated here. Any back yard
is big enough for a snail farm. A plot
25 to 30 feet square will accommodate
10000 snails, fed on leaves, cabbages,
lettuce, endive, chopped kohlrabi, dan
dellon leaves or potatoes. On larger
plots snails will thrive on wild plants.
Snalls viii not leave their farm If they
have sufficient food and reasonable
range, and do not need to be fenced
in. A female will lay from 30 to 60
eggs In June and July, and In 20 days
the baby snalls will be Matched out
and attain marble size by the cold
weather. They spend the winter bur-
led in the ground, coming out in the
spring and feeding all summer, be-
Ing ready for market by the fol-
lowing autumn.-Food Administration

la ,diCraft of the Blind

The Maryland Workshop for the
Blind stands for the betterment OF
the condition Of those deprived OF
sight, along all lines. 1t aims to make
this unfortunate class self-reliant, self
respecting and as far as possible, self
supporting; to help them to help them
selves through work, and above all,
not to pauperize them. At the corner
Of Fayette and Paca streets, Balti-
more. Maryland. may be found this ex-
cellent institution. Here daily, like
self-respecting citizens of the world,
come one hundred and fifty blind men
and women, who toll cheerfully and
efficiently Many OF them are from
the counties. To all are given equal
opportunities, and the same handicap
during instruction.
Here too, may be found competent
and willing instructors, for the most
part blind, who having mastered the
difficulties which beset the blind, by
example and precept help others to
overcome. Chair-caning. broom-mak-
Ing, Misunderstanding, piano tuning
weaving, basketry, and switchboard
operating are some Of the crafts
taught.
We have one hundred men on our
waiting list To these will be added
those. blinded In battle. who will come
to us from "over there" The Gov
eminent has decided to make Balti-
more. the first station, and to send
soldiers, after convalescence, to we'll
established, existing institutions.
Much may be said Of the aptitude,
infinite patience. and efficiency, OF the
blind.
Many Of these men are heroes, who
play their quiet part well, in these
epoch making days. For them, no
blare OF trumpets, nor the lure OF the
battlefield, but, as surely, will they re-
ceive their cross OF war" their need
of praise. good and faithful soldier,

Used In Mines.

At one Of the large mines of the
Northwestern Mining and Exchange
company, In Clearfleld county, Pa, re-
ports a writer in Coal Age, is rather
interesting underground motor room in
which all repairs are made to the
haulage locomotives. The small gath
ering locomotives are sent to the sur
face to undergo repair work, but the
large ones, which cannot be run onto
the cage and hoisted to the surface,
are repaired in the mine when 1t is
possible. The motor room, says the
magazine quoted-"ls about Is to 10
feet wide. The walls are of brick and
the roof of steel I-beams. A track
runs through the room at one side. A
large pit permits the mechanics to
work under locomotive. At the left
Of the room Is the workbench,
which is equipped with all the various
vises and tools needed for repair work.
The crane can handle a weight Of 10

Africa No LONGER Isolated.

The war has from the first been
brought right home to Africa. The
four German colonies, over which the
var extended, have an area Of more
than four times as great as Germany
and there has been long and hard
fghtipg In all Of them except in Togo.
Outside and within these areas of
aetual warfare live thousands Of
whites who are intensely interested in
the European struggle. Many Of these
whites, even in the depths Of Africa,
are receiving the essence of the news
every day. Even the Sahara desert
is now partly belted by telegraphlc
line, q French enterprise, with wire
less extension In Timbuctoo. Thus this
once mysterious city of the Sudan Is
now In touch with the great events
of the day. The Belgian Congo is eff
ficiently served by the French cable
to Libreville and the land line to
Stanley Pool, where navigation of the
upper Congo begins. The news is
then wired up the Congo to the mouth
Of the Congo, and then by wireless to

Lister, of the State of Washington, conducting him to the front of the hall through the double ranks of the salaming Shrin- CTS. Here he was introduced to the assemblage in short speech by Fo- tentate King, who had in turn been introduced and welcomed by Mir. Her. derson.

This fairly brought down the house and the ap plause continued for several minutes.
 The Governor impressed upon his hearers the fact that nothing else counted at the present time save that which would help towards wifi ming the present war. He declared that it did not matter whether a man was a Democrat or Republican, that the important thing was to he an American citizen first of all, and that if the Prussian hordes succeed ed in putting their stamp of auto cracy on the American contineEt there would be no such thing as 3 political party in the United States The Governor declared that he wOuiC rather be a poor man and an Amer ican citizen enjoying democracy an" the privileges of our form of gov ernment than have great share oi worldly wealth under Hun autocracy He emphasized the fact that the present war must be fought to fin ish in order that each Nation should enjoy National freedom and in or der that lasting peace and worlds democracy might prevail He drew {; graphic picture of the high character of American young manhood whicl were sacrificing their all for the cause of democracy, and dwelt upor the importance of the people at homo backing them up in furnishing the food, supplies, munitions and neces sary finances.

Yesterday practically the entire day was spent by the visiting Shrin CTS in an excursion to Taku Glacier which it reported to have been most enjoyable affair in spite of the rather heavy rain which was falling The party left Juneau at S:30 oi the special ferry Amy, about 30 mak ing the trip.
 During the day luncheon was sery ed aboard the boat and the party was taken very close to the face o. the mass of flowing ice. An ex cellent view of the glacier was ob tained, considering weather condi tions, and they report millions oi floating bergs and smaller pieces of ice floating in the inlet. They re turned to the city at 6:30 last even ing for dinner, and in the evening attended the performance at the Pal ace Theatre in body.
 This morning fifteen of the visiting Shriners left for a specially conduct ed visit to the Thane mill, and the Perseverance mine. Manager G. T.

 The visit will conclude with the big ceremonial in Elks Hall this evening, while the ladies are being entertained by Mrs. John Rustgard at her home, assisted by the ladies of the Shrine members of Juneau and Gastineau Channel.

 Gov. Lister followed and reviewed what the Northwest was doing in making a record for the Government in furnishing ships and spruce timber for aeroplane manufacture. He said that enough spruce had been shipped already to manufacture 30,000 aero planes, and that despite criticisms, much was being accomplished ill that direction. He said that Seattle shipyards held the record for turn ing out vessels in the shortest time, and that the State of Washington, when the war was finally won, would have accomplished her bit in cen tributing towards the winning of the war
 As did the previous speaker, the Governor complimented Alaska on it's liberal support and pointed out that the interests of the great State of Washington and those of Alaska were closely intertwined, more so than was true of any other States
