EARLY FLOWING
KILLS HESSIAN FLY

Early blowing buries the hessiar
fly, conserves moisture and makes q
good seeded for wheat. The ground
should be plowed or disced as soon as
possible after harvest. Discing and
then blowing is often advisable be-
cause then the blowing is much cas-
Ter. Discing also destroys the hes
sian fly and exposes the flaxseed stage
of the pest to the hot sun and the at
tack of insect enemies.
Volunteer wheat and weeds may be
kept down by cultivating the plowcd
ground after rains. The main food
supply of the hessian fly is wheat
and if the volunteer wheat is destroy
ed the fly will starve. A better seed
bed is also made by numerous cult
vations of the plowed ground.
The hessian fly is well under con-
troll now as a result of last years
fight against it, according to T. J.
Talbert of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture, and if the
farmers take special pains to pillow
early again this year the fly will be
unable to do any material damage to
next years wheat crop.

Allies Now Have Bombing Planes
Working SQuadrOns.

There were no aerial bombing or
CARNATIONS in the allied flying corp;
during the first year of the war
Practically all the work in the air was
in the nature of observation. NJ
pilots could be spared for anything
else. Today probably rs per cent Of
the aerial arms are bombing squad
rons of IL machines per squadron.
The first bombing was done by vol.
unteer pilots who flew over the Ger.
man lines and dropped three or -four
bombs made from artillery shells, on
concentration camps, and canton.
ments. Showers of small steel ar
rows were spilled sometimes on con-
voys, troop trains, and bodies OF
massed men. The Germans began
day bombing of cities in 1915, and the
Allies bombarded Karlsruhe in re.
prisal later in the same year. Since
then evolution in organized bombing
developed rapidly and the French be-
gan night bombing, but this was not
undertaken by the Germans until
August, 1916.
At the present time large groups,
including several squadrons of bomb
ing machines go over the lines from
time to time and completely destroy
their objective, be it a city or a camp,
a column of troops, or a trench sys-
TEN. Unfortunately, the Allies air
forces have to travel for many miles
over hostile territory defended by an
ti-aircraft guns to attack German
cities, while the enemy can attack
French cities by flying only a short
distance beyond the allied lines.
The Allies are developing large
bombing planes which carry sufficient
fuel for long excursions and arma-
ment to protect them when they are
attacked by fighting airplanes.
Bombing squadrons are escorted u.s.
ually over the lines by fast fighting
squadrons of Is planes to squadron,
and then left to their own devices, for
the fighters seldom carry sufficient
fuel to permit them to accompany the
bombers on the round trip.
The dropping of the bomb is SIM
liar to shooting a rife. First, you set
your sights and wind gauge, you hold
the rifle properly, and finally you pull
the trigger at the proper moment. If
your ammunition is standard, your
sights correct, you hit the target. So
with bombing. If you set your sights
correctly, fly your plane correctly ov-
er the objective and drop the bomb
at the proper time you will hit the
target. If the ammunition manufac-
turers gave you good bombs the OBJ
jective will be destroyed.

Students Warned Not to Burn Mid
nipht Oil

The supply of kerosene will run
short next winter and the Govern.
ment is urging every user to do his
part toward making every gallon to
do full war duty by giving forth its
full measure of light and heat. Saw
ing can be accomplished, it is said,
only if care is given lamps, lanterns,
heaters and stoves.
The director of oil conservation of
the United States Fuel Administra-
ton issues these rules for fuel-oil saw
ing:
Keep all lamps and lanterns clean.
Let the light out; don't confne it be-
hind smoked and dirty chimneys.
See that burners and wicks of all
oil-burning devices are clean. Clean
burners require less oil and give bet
ter lights.
Don't allow lamp, lantern, heater
or stove to burn a Minute longer than
is necessary. Don't light one you
can do without.
Don't use coal oil for cleaning pur-
poses. Hot water will do the work.

Navy Men Rescue Lighthouse
Keeper

Secretary Daniels has commended
H. E. Allen. chief machinist's mate,
and Harry Koppel and William H.
Kane. scamen, United States Naval
Reserve Forces, for rescuing from
drowning Assistant Lighthouse Keep
err Austin Foss on June 16.
Koppel and Kane saw an overturned
boat offshore with a man clinging tn
it. Fastening themselves together
with heavy line. they waded out to
ledge. A heavy surf was breaking
on them, but they swan to another
ledge farther out, which was partly
under water but closer to Foss. From
this point they hcaved line to Foss,
who had sufficient strength to make
it fast. By this means they dragged
him to the ledge, on which they had
footing, but the surf was too rough
for them to attempt the return trip
with Foss.
Help had been summoned in he
meantime, and the scout patrol boat
Pauline, commanded by Allen, went
to the rescue of the three men. The
heavy surf made it impossible for the
vessel to approach near the ledge, to
which the seainen were clinging with
the exhausted lighthouse keeper. AL

Ideals That Inspired Recent Fourth
of July Celebration


New ideals that inspired the recent
July Fourth celebration were outlined
clearly to the Division on Women's
War Work of the Committee on Pub
lie Information by Miss Josephine
Roche, director of work with the for
eign born. She said:
1--WE proclaim a new Declaration of
Independence for the whole world,
which all people will share. instead
of America alone. We have always
been proud of independence Day and
the ideals that brought it into being,
and on this particular Fourth, 1918,
if the women of 1776 could be here
they would realize that their de-
scendants have not drifted away
from these ideals and that the Amer
leans who have come more recently
to this land have been drawn by the
same vision of freedom which the
founders of the Republic had
These great groups of our foreign
born are the people who have been
fighting for centuries for democracy
and liberty in the Old World just as
our ancestors fought here. A won
derful faith in America, trust that
they will here realize their ideals and
find for their children better chance,
bring them to us. We are beginning
to understand we have as much to
learn from them as we have to teach
them, and that altogether we must
work for the realization of our ideal
America.
"Never has there been such an ALL
American Fourth or one which ex-
pressed so truly and fully the intent
of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence. From all quarters Of
the globe America has drawn to her
self loyal citizens bringing her the
best from the old land. New faith
and strength will leap in the hearts
of those peoples fighting in Europe
against autocracy and terrorism,
when they learn the tiding of this In
dependence day on which their form
er countrymen 50 overwhelmingly re-
affirm the pledge of America to the
oppressed Of the world"

Coolest Place in Refrigerator Not
Closest to Ice

coolest Place in Refrigerator Not
Closest to Ice
Many housewives have learned from
sad experiences in loss of perishable
foods that next to the ice is not the
coolest place in the home refriger-
ator. To the housewife who has not
had this experience the Food Admin
istration gives this advice:
Many put their butter and milk
right next to the ice because they
think this is the coolest place, but, as
matter of fact, the coolest place is
at the bottom of the refrigerator.
Hot air rises, and air that is not be-
ing constantly purified by circulation
around the blocks of ice soon are un-
fit to come into contact with the food.
When the warm air in the refrigerat-
or rises it carries with is impurities
and moisture which are absorbed
from the surface of the food, and
which if allowed to remain in the air
spoil the food. The air which is
warmed by passing over the food
comes i'll contact with the ice where
the moisture is condensed upon the
surface and the impurities are car
ried off by the melting ice. The air
is thus dried, cooled and purified. The
cooled cir Immediately descends to
gather up more moisture and impur-
tiles and thus the process is repeated
continually.
ut is advisable to allow heated
food to cool off before placing it in
the refrigerator. If put in when warm
it raises the temperature of the re-
frigerator higher than it should go
and melts the ice unnecessarily. The
trap door through which the meltage
passes out at the bottom of the re-
frigerator should be kept in place, be-
cause if it is broken or lost constant
stream of warm air is allowed to flow
into the refrigerator"
Girls Help in Production of Airplanes
Girls are helping in airplane pro-
duction by splicing cables and in other
ways, according to H. E. Miles, chair
man of the section for industrial train
ing for War Emergency of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense. Referring
to the training department Of big
manufacturing plant, he says:
each day there go from this de-
partment into the factory proper 80
new trained hands. The foremen were
not particularly interested at first in
this new work; now, however, they
want only operatives from the train.
ing school. In this training room
girls learn in four days to splice wire
cables for fusilage, doing the best
work the army inspectors ever saw.
Then they go into the shop and with
the advantage of the exact training
they have had can splice SIS daily
against a previous average of 40.
Men operatives are asking now for
night classes to enable them to take
more highly skilled work"

TEN Of allowing grain to be shipped
only after a permit to do so has been
secured was worked out to prevent
the congestion of cars loaded with
grains ut central markets. All the
railroads and grain shippers of this
city are now working under this sys-
tenn.
Before making a shipment of grains
the prospective shipper must first
make application to the local freight
agent of the railroad over which he
intends to ship, the application giving
the number Of cars of grain to be
shipped and the name of the con-
signee. The application is forwarded
by the railroad agent to the grain
control committee in the city to which
the grain is to be shipped. IL the
market there is not congested, and if
