Saving and Serving

By economizing in consumption and
with the resultant saving purchasing
the Governments war securities the
American citizen performs double
duty. The citizen and the Government
can not use the same labor and material
and labor and transportation space is
left free for Government uses. And
when the saving effected is lent to the
Government more money is thus placed
at the disposal Of the Government.
The more the people save the more
money, labor, and materials are left for
the winning Of the war, the greater and
more complete the support given to our
fighting men.

HOW TO CLASSIFY
A SOLDIER
rs -
Hat Cord Designates Branch
Of Service

A military man can Immediately tell
to what division soldier belongs by
glancing at the cord on his hat, but
to the average citizen the color of the
hat cord denotes little or nothing. It
Is an interesting feature to be familiar
with, especially now when so many
soldiers are seen all over the country
and any one who takes the trouble to
learn the following list will be reward
ed by being able to satisfy his own
curiosity respecting any soldier he
happens to see without having to ask
questions:
A cord Of light blue signifies that
the wearer belongs to the infantry;
red denotes artillery; yellow, cavalry;
buff, quartermaster's corps; red and
white. engineers corps; orange and
white, signal corps; red and black,
ordnance; black and white, field clerk
maroon and white, medical corps /;
black and gold, officers; silver and

Raising of Rabbits Grows
In Popularity as Cost of
Beef and Pork Increases

Since the price Of meat has been
soaring, substitutes for beef and pork
have been In demand.
The most popular method Of filling
out the menu without patronizing the
butcher Is to raise rabbits, and hun
dreds of persons are now so engaged
with profit.
1t is the consensus of opinion among
breeders, writes a correspondent, that
the Flemish giant rabbit is the best, its
meat closely resembling the taste Of
chicken. Many persons who have
served Flemish rabbit have been COM
plimented over their 'lovely chicken
dinner"
The Belgian hare, which has many
followers, is not so toothsome by far.
The Flemish is bred for meat and
weight, while the Belgian is favored
for color, symmetry and small-sized
bones.
The weight of rabbits varies greatly.
The giant Flemish leads, specimens
being known to reach % pounds, al
though the average ranges from Is to
10. Belgian hares, when year DID,
weigh about II pounds. The other
species are somewhat lighter.
Rabbit hides bring IS to Is cents a
pound, although there are instances
where the white fur brings much high
er prices, according to quality and ap-
pearance.

He forgets his proud successes and the

Oh, there's not a man that liveth but
would give his all to be

And the splendors that surround him and

Great Soldier Democratic.

General Sir Douglas Haig. British
commander in chief, called at an Amer
lean headquarters, and around this
headquarters they still talk much Of
his visit. They like him.
The headquarters was in the edge Of
a wood. It had been raining. A ser
geant found the general trying to keep
his footing on slippery duckboards
while he endeavored to ascertain the
whereabouts of the American COM
mander's hut from the sign boards
The sergeant led him to the place he
sought, but the American commander
and most of his staff, following his
troops, had left for more advanced
p. @. Two second lieutenants and two
sergeants were holding down the re-
Gently vacated Office.
"Tm Haig," said the general In such
an "Tm Bill Jones" tone Of voice that
the Americans didn't realize who their
visitor was for a full half minute.
When they did they explained that
their commander had gone up ahead.
"Just wanted to wish him luck" said
the general. Then he shook hands
with the two lieutenants and the two
sergeants and left.--Stars and Stripes.

Thomas Jefferson Rodman
Said to Have Been Father
of Big Gun Used in Europe

Thomas Jefferson Rodman, the
American inventor and ordnance ex-
pert, who initiated the movement for
big guns which eliminated in the giant
cannon used in Europe. was born 103
years ago in Salem, Ind, and after
graduating from West Point entered
the ordnance department Of the army.
He early devoted himself to expert
ments with guns and gunpowder. Rod
mans greatest triumph, notes writer
in the Sacramento Union, was the in
vention of a method of casting guns
hollow and cooling them from the in
side, which worked a revolution in the
making of artillery.
The long and earnest study devoted
to the properties and manipulation Of
cast iron, then regarded as the best
material for heavy ordnance, by Rod
man and other officers, enabled the
United States to produce guns then
admittedly the best in the world. In
1860 cannon weighing IS tons, the
largest In the world, was cast, but the
exigencies Of the Civil war required
heavier and better artillery. In 1853
2O-inch smooth bore, weighing near
ly So tons and throwing a solid shot
of 1000 pounds, was cast. This great
gun attracted international attention,
and many years passed before it was
surpassed in size and effectiveness.
Rodman also introduced the use Of
mammoth" powder for the 15-inch
smooth-bore guns Of his invention. Dur.
ing the Civil war his guns were used
in both navy and army, and were Of
great assistance in deciding the out
come of the struggle. During the war
period Rodman had command Of the
Watertown arsenal.

As the Earth's Human Race

Man has been on the earth perhaps

that modern Englishman must nee

almost the same mistake as to argue
that Browning must be better poet
