AS PRUssIANs OBEY ORDERS
Sergeant Killed Soldier, According to
Story, to Have Enough Eggs to
Supply Each Man With One.

At cafe in New York which is
much frequented by actors they we're
talking of German methods as ex-
emplified in this war. Jack Hazard
felt moved to tell the following story,
according to the Saturday Evening
Post:
"Only the other day 1 heard a
very interesting case, which illus
trates how careful those fellows are
about obeying ORDERS" stated Haz-
ard. "It seems that during the in
vasion of Belgium captain in a
Prussian regiment got hold of hum
dred fresh eggs somewhere; and,
wishing to give his faithful soldiers
a treat-there were just exactly 100
men in his company as it happened
he turned the eggs over to the top
sergeant and told him to see that
every man in the command had an
egg for breakfast next morning.
'But the company cook smashed
one of the eggs, and next morning
there were only SO eggs to be dis
tributed among 100 hungry soldiers.
The sergeant was puzzled at first. He
knew he had to obey orders, and be-
ing true German, he meant to do
so.
"For a while he didn't know just
how to distribute those eggs. Final
ly he had wonderful inspiration
a typical Prussian inspiration. 1t
worked all right too"
Here Hazard paused.
"Well, what did the sergeant doP'
demanded one of the company.
''Killed one of the soldiers" said

GERMAN LABOR SITUATION
PERILOUS

Germany will have a serious labor
problem in the days to follow the
war, according to information which
has reached the United States De-
partment of Labor.
Latest reports indicate that the
number of unions has declined from
III to $50 since 1913, and that the
membership of the Berlin Central La
Dor Union has fallen from 302 900 to
100000 in the same time.
Hambeurg's 10000 trade-union
members in 1913 have been reduced
to $4,000 now, and Dresden's member
ship of $4,000 has been cut in half
The great wastage of German man
power in the war not only means a
future danger but has led to wide
spread troubles in Belgium which, &C
cording to Lieut.. Henry De Man, OF
the Belgian Army, who spoke before
the Boston Central Labor Union
caused the greatest labor strike in
the world. More than 100000 organ
lied laborers of Belgium, he said, re-
fused to 90 any work for the Ger
mans.

ORDERS FOR
FERTILIZER SHOULD
Be PLACED NOW
Food Administration Urges More Food
and Farmers Are Urged to
Buy Fertilizer.

The Food Administration through
the State Council of National Defense
is endeavoring to increase the wheat
acreage of Kentucky during the COM
ing year The likelihood of increas-
ing the wheat acreage more than 5 to
Z per cent. is uncertain and an in
crease of total production, therefore,
depends quite materially upon in
creased production per acre.
In this connection farmers will re-
quire immense quantities of fertilizer
of the phosphate variety suitable for
increasing the yield of wheat. The
fertilizer situation at the present time
is such that farmers should not delay
in placing their orders with manufac-
turers of manufacturers agents for
the earliest shipment of fall fertilizer
Available supplies of fertilizer car
ried over from last year are very
small and for that reason manufac-
turers will be dependent almost en-
tirely upon this years production for
the filling of fall orders. Those who
give in their orders early will have
the best chance to secure well cured
fertilizers and avoid the sunsatisfac-
tory handling qualities of newly man
ufactured goods. Orders for fertilizer
should be made up in carload lots
wherever possible, the minimum size
cars being 22.44 and &c tons.
Owing to the high price of material
for making cotton and burlap bags the
Department of Agriculture suggests
that fertilizer be shipped in 200 lb.
bags in order to conserve material.
Not only are burlap bags scarce but
is imported from India and the short
age of ships has materially inter
ferred with the supply. A great short
age of burlap would severely handicap
the movement of fertilizer to the farm
since the need of food containers
would receive first consideration.
Knowing these facts every patriotic
farmer will gladly cooperate by us
ing larger bags.
Some fertilizers not containine
acids such as basic phosphate can be
handled in bulk and this usually re-
suits in saving two to four dollars per
ton. This method can be followed
where farmers have cars shipped to a
club or group and can arrange to cal
for the fertilizer with their own con.
