Press Madame Iosiha SChwimnrer, Of
Ford peace party fame, who has &c
CGptcd the post of Hungarian ambas-
sador to switzerland, being the first
woman to receive such an appointment,
declares to correspondent that the food
needs Of Hungary are nowhere near
urgent"
However, she added, there is some
danger owing to the lack Of coal. Diff
culties In the northern and southern
| sections of the old Austro-Hungarian
empire have prevented Hungary from
getting It's fun amount Of coal.
The situation tn Hungary Is such,
Madame Schwlminer continued, that the
government would be willing to abide
by any decision of II peace conference,
mo matter how unfaVorable,' because
tho government Is helpless.

Lady Cowpunehers.-"Just as GER
tain as chooting'' says Bill Davis, May
or of Fort Worth and ranch owner Of
Jefferson County. Okla, well have
cowpunchers in skirts before next sum-
mer, II the war doesn't end before that
time. The government Is no respecter
of persons in the drsft these days. 1t
can't afford to be, in this emergency.
Hence the ranchers Of Oklahoma and
Texas have got to give up their cow
punchers, and they must be replaced
by women, just as women are replac-
ing men on railroad trains, street cars,
in barbershops. offices and stores"
Mayor Davis believes that women
may do practically as well as men Tor
the lighter duties Of the ranch. In
horsemanship, he says, many Of them
already have proved as efficient as
men.
So long as we have men at home
over the age Of forty-five years. the
ranchers need not seriously suffer
through the substitution Of women Tor
many duties" Mr.. Davis says. Nat
urally we would expect the men to do
the heavy work by branding cattle and
loading and unloading feed. But the
women should do excellentiy in the
saddle Oh the -ound-op and the tons
drive She could easily attend to the
dipping that Is required, for 1t Is
matter only Of driving the cattle one
at a time into the vat OF oil. Wild
West shows have proved that the aver
age horsewoman could easily cut cat
the on the range. She could do feed
ing and assist in loading cattle for
market"

BIG FARM AT SEWER
Government Planning to Raise Plenty
of Food for the Soldiers.

L
of Food for the Soldiers.
Prof. II. Findlay of the garden
branch service of the department OF
agriculture in Washington. Is at
Camp Sewer engaged in assisting In
organizing the truck farm that Is be-
ing operated by the conservation d.
vision of the office Of the camp quar-
termaster. Prof. Findlay. who Is
horticulturalist of national reputa-
ton, expects to spend the next sn
months III In visiting The truck fas =
that are being conducted at the Va
rious camps and cantonments over
the country
I'm operating these truck gardens at
the various camps. the government
has four-fold purpose: first to pro-
duce fresh vegetables for the soldiers;
second to utilize and make productive
all land belonging to the military re-
scrvations not in use; third to provide
work for those enlisted men who are
unfit for active military service. and
fourth, to improve the lands about
the camps which at some time In the
future will again be in the hands OF
the farmers.
The Camp Sewer truck garden or
farm which Is located about a mile
north of Locke station. includes 3S9
acres, which has been planted In peas,
snap beans. sweet potatoes. corn and
other vegetables. Some rs acres have
been planted in white potatoes and.
tomato plants. totaling several thou
sand have been set out.
About fifty enlisted men. most OF
whom had more or less experience
with farm work, have been assigned
to that work. They have their quar-
ters on the farm. and work under the
direction of an experienced non-com-
missioned officer.
The farm equipment includes some
forty or fifty animals and the very
latest farming machinery. 1t Is the
intention of the conservation division
to conduct this farm as a strictly
business proposition and to make It
pay it's own way. While II Is not the
idea of the government to try to make
any profit out Of its farming opera
tions. further than the profit which, OF
course would accrue by its paying its
own expenses, still with good seasons
and good luck, 1t would not be sur
prsing II the fall sees a big balance
on the right side of the ledger from
the farm.
In talking about the farm recently.
Prof. Findlay said that while the soil
Is naturally poor, still he could see
no reason why 1t should not be made
productive. and that in his opinion,
the hundreds of tons Of manure taken
from the camp stables will greatly
enrich the soil. He expects a big pro-
| driction OF vegetables and other truck
from the farm in the late summer and
early fall despite the fact that a late
start was had. Another year will see
the farm in splendid shape and pro-
ducing enough wholesome vegetables
to feed Camp Sewer with sufficient
surplus for perhaps another camp or
two as large as Sevier.

GUARDED BY CANNON
Prussian Capital Surrounded

Prussian Capital Surrounded by
Large Number Of Guns.
Berlin is defended by labyrinth OF
monster guns of diameter ranging
from 22 to ~ inches, hidden in pits IS
to 65 feet deep and 1875 to $50 feet
apart, and in three circles surrounding
the city.
These defenses were outlined by
John Erickson. native Of Sweden, en-
ployed by the Rice Lake Lumber COM
pany of Minnesota. Erickson worked
for five years on the outer defences OF
Berlin and before that time worked
for the Motala Gun Works in Sweden
turning out heavy ordnance for Ger
many, which was prepared at that
time to make good its dream Of world
domination.
Some Of the guns forming the de-
fence Of Berlin are 200 feet long. All
the guns are hidden In pits. Founda-
tions are set in seven feet Of granite
sunk in the bottom of the pits. or the
three circles Of these pits surrounding
the city, one is seven miles from the
city's outskirts, the next circle is eleven
miles from the city and the largest
ring circles the city fifteen miles dis
tant.
A screen roof now protects these
guns both from the elements and from
sight. A layer Of two feet of dirt COW
ers the top. Gardens. grass crops and
even trees are planted over the instru-
ments of death to prevent their being
detected. Electric motors are so ar
ranged that these coverings may he
thrown off like sheets Of paper at a
moments notice.
Electricity controls the huge guns
The heart of the city is connected with
every gun pit by electric railways run
ming through the subvays for carrying
ammunition and reinforcements.
A chart with O map and q dial to in
dicate Just where each shell Is to fall
hangs on the wall Of every gunpit
The guns throw shells twenty-five OF
:hirs.mllss. The desnIhetonr " r1eaha
shell is determined by the elevation at
which each gun is fred, and elevations
are obtained through the use Of elec-
trio motors to move the guns.
Prior to his employment on the de-
fences Of Berlin Erickson says he
worked for years for the Motala gun
works in Sweden. These works, as
we'll as every gun works Of Sweden,
worked day and night for years prior
to the war supplying munitions Tor
Germany.
Just before the war was declared
Erickson says the Motala gun works
turned out 100000 automatic rifles
for Germany. This was the culmina-
ton OF q huge order embracing every
sort Of gun and cannon. which for
years kept $500 men in this gun
works busy.
Plans for the defense Of Berlin,
Erickson said, were laid twenty years
ago. Militarists CT Germany. he said
had planned the fall Of Namur and
Liege years before the war was declar-
ed, and they also planned their own
capital must have defences stronger
than those Of the Belgian cities.
Numerous smaller German cities are
airniliarly protected he said,
