dated from Somewhere at Sea-"
! have intended to thank you for
sending me TIE paper for some 6me,

l have neglected to do so. certain
ly have appreciated it for of all
things most welcome after long
time at sea are the letters from home

ships cooks mix it all together and
have named it stew.
Nearly every one has heard quite
a lot about the army, in fact nearly
every one is in it, so l want to tell
you a little of the navy. Judging
from some of the questions that have
been asked me by the civilian people,
sailors are to be studied. Here are a
few facts. We are men even though
we do our own cooking, sewing and
scrub our own clothes. We sleep in
hammocks and in heavy sea some
times get sea sick. We understand
English, although we get very little
opportunity to use it. We enjoy ham
and eggs, but generally eat beans.
We have more bosses than the Tam
many Ring in New York, but we al
ways have our work done. Our
sports are many. coaling ship, shoot
ing craps, working off extra duty and
lodging the boatswair's mate. We
have black cat for a mascot and the
land is the jinx. The main source
of enjoyment is equally divided be-
tween the mess tables and the player
piano an the starboard side of the
main deck. Indoor sports-gettirg

three years and never met navy

prove it for the benefit of the Kaiser
and the peace advocates. Every man

PRIZE THRIFT STAMP STORY

The pupils throughout the schools
from Grades four to twelve inclusive
have been writing short speeches
having to do with the Thrift Stamp.
Mrs. Rennie judged those written by
the seventh grade ard the one follow
ing written by Margaret Root, daugh-
ter of Commissioner and Mrs. f.. V.
Root, was awarded first place.
Some people ask what are Thrift
Stamps. Thrift Stamps are Little
Baby Bonds. They are a thing that
every one, child or man should have.
They help the Children to learn to save.
A Thrift Stamp costs twenty five
cents and when you have sixteen of
them, take them to a Post Office or
Bank and with fifteen cents exchange
for War Saving Stamp, which in
five years will yield you five dollars.
This price increases one cent each
month.
There are over thirty-ive million
children in the United States under
the age of sixteen and if each one
would buy just one stamp it would
amount to over eight million dollars.
Think what it would mean if each
one would buy w. S. S. Does this
not help a great deal and don't you
think it would be worth doing?
This would be a children's crusade
which would really help to win the
war.
1t is said that the United States is
the most wasteful country in the
world, and we are forced to believe it..
We are all very fond of luxuries.
We children eat candy until we
ruin our teeth and digestion and chew
gum until we ruin our teachers dis
position. We like expensive toys
and think that we must go to the
Movies two or three times a week.
If we do not buy luxuries we are
letting the men who are making
these things become soldiers or make
something useful for the government
which we are very much in need of
now.
We can hinder by eating luxuries
meat and white bread. Of course We
do not have to go without these en-
tirely, but we must save for the men
in the trenches need things to make
them strong, and to do this great
work. We do not need to say much
as no one is going to hinder, but
help.
There are a great many ways that
we can help as by saving, by work
ing in Surgical Dressing rooms, by
knitting at home, by buying U. S.
Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps.
Don't forget that this is your war,
and it's my war, and it takes your
money and my money to win it.

Thirty-seven health officers report that
the device is being made locally for
use by dairymen. Several dairy milk
inspectors stated positively that the
local milk supply has been improved
through the Introduction of this de-

steriliZer was demonstrated to more
than 5000 farmers and was made the
subject of a campaign in favor of
clean milk utensils that reached thou
sands of dairy farmers. Twenty-six
of the state agricultural colleges Sc
cured devices to demonstrate to their
short-course students. The device is
now being made commercially and can
be purchased complete with oil stove
for $3.50; or the sterilizer portion
alone, which provides apparatus for
sterilizing pans, pals, separator parts,

SUITABLE SHELTER FOR HENS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Every flock of hens needs a suitable
shelter-a coop or house of appropr1-
ate size, furnished with roosts, nests
and appliances for feeding and wateT~,
ing. A flock that is to be used for
breeding should also have yard where
the birds can exercise on the ground
and in the open air. Hens kept only
for eggs for the table may be confined
to their house continuously for as long
time as ordinary hens are profitable
layers. 1t is better to give them am
outdoor run, but when space is limited
it can be dispensed with.
Small focks need a little more floor
space per bird than large focks, and
birds confined constantly to the house
should have a little more floor space
per bird than others. A coop for six
hens should allow five or six square
feet of floor space for each house
for twenty to thirty hens, three or four
square feet to each. Yards are uSu-
ally planned to give not less than I'D
square feet of land per hen.
Small coops which can be cleaned
without entering them may be built
only three or four feet high. This
height is most comfortable for the
hens. Coops for 1ocks of more than
six or eight birds must be Of such
height that a grown person can move
about in them. In low coop the same
opening will answer for door and win
dow. In high coopS with larger wall
