COAL FOR FARMERS.

Owing to drouth conditions in VAL
ley county this year many farmers
could not heed the call of the fuel
administration to "Buy your coal
early" and many did not get in their
supply during the summer months.
The Valley County Fuel administra-
tion is now making survey of the
county with a view to meeting the
emergency need and placing enough
coal in the dealers bins to meet the
needs of those who were forced to
buy coal during the winter months.

MUSIC AT HOSPITALS.

The Plymouth quartet from the Con-
gregational church sang again at
vesper service in the local hospitals
Sunday AFTERNOON. This music was so
appreciated that they were invited to
sing regularly and at Thanksgiving
service. It is probable that this will
be done, at least as long as no SER
vices are permitted in the churches.

Ground feeds are necessary for
most efficient digestion in poultry
Hopper feeding saves labor and fur

Limestone grit or oyster shell is
also necessary for laying hens. A

Of this must come from the grit

Chickens raised on range can be
produced much more economically
than those kept closely confined around
the farm buildings. Not only is less
feed required, but the danger from
disease is reduced. The edge Of the
cornfield makes an ideal poultry
range. Chickens grow best on plowed
ground and the corn furnishes shade,
which is essential during the summer.
Under such conditions, pound Of
chicken can be produced from three
to four pounds Of grain.

Hawks and Owls Useful;
Insects and Rodents Are
Their Principal Fooo

One Of the most active and valu-
able friends of man is the agile night
hawk, which may be seen darting
about in the dusk with incredible
swiftness in pursuit Of insects, de.
clares a writer in the Peoples Home
Journal. Yet this bird is almost ex.
tinct in some sections because hunt
ers like to display their craftsmanship
by showing they are able to bring
down such swiftly flying bird.
Nighthawks are so quick on the wing
that few insects escape them. Stom-
achs of night hawks have been found
to contain more than so varieties of
Injurious insects. Friends of birds
should give this hawk their especial
protection.
The rough-legged hawk is another
placed by scientists among the almost
wholly beneficial birds. This bird feeds
almost exclusively on the smaller ro-
dents, including meadow mice, which
do incalculable damage to crops and
young trees, which they gnaw in the
winter.
An incident that shows the injus-
tice Of the popular opinion regarding
hawks is reported from Ohio. When
the law putting a bounty on hawks
was in force in that state, township
clerk issued certificates for 46 spar
row hawks which had been killed.
The clerk examined the stomachs of
these hawks, and in As of them found
only grasshoppers and beetles. The
other stomach contained the fur and
bones of q meadow mouse. Thus the
state had been paying for the destruc-
ton of birds that were working to help
save it's crops.
Scientists say that the sparrow
hawk does occasionally attack chick
ems; but so seldom, that this offense is
as nothing compared with the good the
bird does. The real offender among
the hawks-the one that gives the
family it's bad name-is the Cooper's
hawk, which is a persistent hunter of
chickens and domesticated doves.
Compared with the long-eared OWL
the ordinary house cat is poor nous
err.
The little screech owl is diligent
mouser, too, but also has vOraciOus
appetite for insects. Fifty grasshOp-
pers have been found in the stomach
of one screech owl. About One-sev-
enth of the screech OWLS food consists
of other birds, but most Of these are
sparrOws.

Corona of Sun, Latin Word
And Its Meaning Is Crown

Corona is a Latin word meaning
crown, hence our English words corr
onet and coronation. Astronomers APP
ply the word to the browning circle OF
light visible during an eclipse of the
sun Notwithstanding it's partial obs
scuration by the moon. A distin-
guished astronomer says: During
total solar eclipse, when the sun is
obscured by the moons shadow, the
dark disk is seen to be surrounded
by a glory or fringe of radiant light,
which is called the corona" Another
authority says: "The corona is che
exterior envelope of the sun, being be-
yond the philosophers and chromO7
sphere, invisible in the telescope and
unrecognized by the spectrOscOpe, ex-
cept during total eclipse Of the sun.
To ascertain the character and COM
position Of the suns corona is the OBJ
ject of scientific observations made
during an eclipse"

0verSupply of Beans ana
Appeal Is Made to Public
To Help Eat the Old Crop

There are 10000 bushels of last
years beans in the New York market
which are in danger of going to waste
unless they are consumed before the
1918 crop comes in, says the New
York Sun. In the hope of saving them
the federal food board recently issued
a call for "bean drive"
"Just as the consuming public came
to the rescue during the spring and
early summer to save the surplus pota-
toes" the board said, $50 similar pa
triotic use of beans is requested. Pa
triotic housewives are urged to have
bean dinner or bean supper at least
one day a week as a means of using
up the present surplus. One reason
for the existing surplus is a falling off
in the consumption of beans during
the past few months.
cit is true. that the selling price Of
beans is above the prewar price, but
it should he borne in mind that the
cost of production last year was ex-
ceptionally high. Even at the prevail
ing prices, however, beans are cheap
when their food value is considered.
When combined with milk or eggs in
the same meal, they are one of the
best meat-saving foods. At 10 cents
pound, at which prices they can be
purchased in some localities they fur
nish three times as much protein as
round steak at SO cents a pound and
as lean veal at 80 cents a pound.
Beans in combination with Fruits or
seasonable vegetables serve very well
as the basis of meat-saving meals.S

Aerial Spying of Great
+ Value and Use to Troops
In Country of the Enemy

In Flanders an airplane goes over
the lines, and from 5000 to 5000 feet
photographs the enemy's country,
trench system, lines Of communication
or a battery area. These photographs
tell the truth accurately, asserts a
writer in Century Magazine. They
are the ultimate spies and are CORE
spondingly valuable. From such
photograph a lantern slide is made,
and the image, enlarged to any desired
scale, is projected upon a screen,
where 1t is painted in colors, thus
furnishing an exact picture of the area
as seen from the airplane. The pic
ture Is then stretched upon frame,
underneath which tiny electric bulbs
are placed. Around it, perched on
platform ten feet high, cadets are
seated with maps of the district, also
drawn from the actual photograph. Be
side each cadet is wireless dispatch
ing key. BY simple system of squares
and subdivisions, marked on the maps
and lettered and numbered, any point
on the picture may be designated ex-
Rctly in a very brief message. The
cadets Orientate their maps and keep
q sharp outlook on the picture below
Suddenly O flash appears among some
buildings, in q field or behind a wood
Immediately its location is noted on
the key-maps of the cadets, and the
corresponding code message is buzzed
down to the hypothetical British bat
terry below. In a few seconds this
battery is seen to fire in a succession
Of tiny flashes, and, after the time Of
the shells flight has passed, another
flash indicates it's burst near the hos
tile target. This target is the center
OF an imaginary clock dial, twelve
o'clock being considered due north,
and the other figures representing cor
responding directions. A series OF
concentric lettered circles indicate sue
ceSsive distances. Thus the ShelPS
burst is instantly located and buzzed
down to the battery, telling the gun
ners just how far wrong the shots are
falling. These make the proper cor
rectiOns, and shots continue to fall
closer about the target until the holy
task of Silencing another Hun battery
IS finished. The actual work at the
front toward which the training is di-
rected constitutes one of the prime
factors in the present warfare. One
has only to recall Hindenburg's Off
cial statements as to the number of
guns destroyed in single month on
the western front, to comprehend its
Importance.

A. {. F. Publication Tells
Soldiers "0ver There" What
Conservation Really Means

A private in a truck train, relates
the Stars and Stripes, France, went
to a reserve tank the other day, open
ed the faucet and drew liberal guam
tity Of gasoline in a bucket.
II guess" he remarked, "the old
man will raise h if he saw this, but
I've got to wash my pants"
Yes, the "old man" probably would
have raised h. If he is the right
kind Of "old man. he would have
raised seven or eight different kinds
of it.
Millions Of schoolboys are selling
War Savings stamps in the States to
keep us going over here and millions
are stinting to buy them. There were
three gallons of gasoline in that bucket
and, what with the money it cost to
make it and build and run the ships
to get it over here, we wouldn't be
surprised if it represented a whole
weeks work for some bright-eyed, en-
thusiastic, patriotic schoolbOy.
The private in question would prob
ably fight if you accused him Of be-
traying his friends in the trenches.
Yet gasoline means airplanes, and air.
planes mean dead Germans, and dead
Germans mean live Americans. It's
the same with every commodity we
handle. Conservation and care mean
lives and a shorter war.

BURIAL OF A SOLDIER
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeso

Beat softly, muff1ed drums, and slow,
To his last rest, we bear a soldier brave,
No wife or mothers tears today will
flow,
But only men, stern men, stand by his
grave.
Tread gently, men and brothers, slowly;
For you the dawn of peace is breaking
Look tenderly upon the dead, bend lowly.
sThe flag of freedom waves; the world
is waking.
Fold over him the flag with prayer,
His red blood given to keep it's purity:
The heavenly blue and stars his portion
are,
The sacrifice for all futurity.
He was but young to die, yet surely
No sacrifice has ever been in vain:
The soldier dies that men may dwell Sc
curely,
The Savior died that all might live
again.

Piazzas Modern; People

A friend of mine says that there
were no piazzas in the old days be-
cause people did not want them, OBJ
serves a writer in the House Beauti-
full. They sat out on the carefully
tended lawns or among the flower beds
or under the trees. He says further
that there were no mosquitoes in those
days and that people knew enough to
come in when it rained and were not
afraid to go out in the open when 1t
didn't.
There is another theory according
to which piazzas came in with leisure
Our ancestors didn't have time to use
them, and so the old houses are with

houses were for shelter, not for pleas

pleasure which associates itself with
idle moments.
Later life became easier and folks
worked shorter hours. Tt was then
perhaps that they began to think OF
sitting out Of doors and at the same
time within the house, for the roof
of a piazza is not like the foliage of
an apple tree. Nowadays some mem

A Day With Leftovers.

The leftover problem is always with
us and she is a good manager who
plans her meals so that there are few
leftovers to dispose of. A most dainty
first course may be prepared for a
dozen with small piece of ripe wa
termelon. Use a potato cutter and
make enough balls from the pink ripe
part of the melon to fill sherbet
glasses. Chill and serve as cocktail.
Add enough strip to make a sauce,
using a bit of mint to garnish each
cup. Muskmelon may be used in the
same way with a ginger sauce. 1t is
especially delicious. The Canton pre-
served ginger with bits of mint
chopped and added for garnish make
a most elegant dish.

SUGAR. SAVING
CANNING
r.
By the United States Department
of Agriculture

1. Cook the prepared fruits
with enough water to prevent
sticking.
2. Stir to keep from burn
ing.
8. Cook gently until the
mass begins to thicken.
4. Use less sugar than is
called for in the recipes and
cook longer. Very satisfactory
results can be obtained by the
use of sugar substitutes, corn
strip, honey, etc. The addition
also of small amounts Of mixed
ground .spices, vinegar, or
crystallized ginger improves the
flavor.
5. Continue cooking until the
desired consistency is reached.
6. Pour into hot glasses or
jars.
z. Put on sterilized covers.
8. Place in steamer for 10
minutes. This will avoid the
necessity Of using parafin.
8. Remove carefully, set
aside to cool, store.
Cook longer for jam than
fruit butter.
