ROOSEVELT HERE
TOMORROW NIGHT

Theodore Roosevelt will pass
through Richmond on a Pennsylvania
passenger train at about 1880 o'clock
Wednesday evening.
Whether or not the former president
will make short talk from the rear
platform of the train is not known as
yet, as a committee went to India
napolis Tuesday morning to make
the necessary arrangements. Roose-
welt has been i'll for the last few days
and this has served to change his
plans to some extent. 1t may serve to
prevent him from showing himself on
the platform of the train to receive
the greetings of the crowd that will
doubtless be there to see him.
Arrangements have been made with
the Pennsylvania Railroad company to
hold the train for few moments in
case Roosevelt is willing to make a
short talk.

A great many gardeners are plant
ing navy beans at the present time
Those who are doing so are taking
great chances on the entire crop be-
coming destroyed either by insects OF
plant diseases which may attack navy
beans that are planted early.
Navy beans in this locality should
not be planted earlier than June Is,
and may be planted from June Is to
July l.
This locality is we'll adapted to the
profitable growing of navy beans, and
all garden space which Is not now un-
der cultivation may be put into navy
beans. Navy beans. if planted next
week may be put between the rows
of early potatoes. They may be plant
ed any time from the 18th of June I'M
til the 1st of July after other crops
are removed, or between rows now
producing which will be removed by
the time the navy beans need the
space. Any vacant lot which is not
under cultivation ia now in good shape
for blowing since the rains and may
be broken up and navy beans sown.
The Depth of Planting.
The depth Of planting will depend
upon tuc sui. IL TIC Soll q may

one and one-half inches deep. II the
soil is sandy loan the beans may be
planted from two to three inches in
depth.
Distances for Planting.
Navy beans should be dropped three
or four inches apart in the row and
the rows may be as close as eighteen
or twenty inches.
Fertilization.
Beans respond readily to potash but
this is difficult to obtain at the pres

phosphate per acre gives good results.
Cultivation.

HEAVY APPLE CROP
PREDICTED FOR STATE

Indiana may expect an apple crop
Of 6,750,0O0 bushels this year, accord
ing to ]. C. Kline, Wayne county agri-
culture agent, who has been investi.
eating the general condition of the
promised fruit crops throughout the
state. This will be an increase OF
about million bushels over 1917, and
Mr.. Kline said that Wayne county
would be among the leaders of the
state in the 1918 production.
The peach crop, however, will
amount to practically nothing as the
long spell of cold weather last win
ter killed most Of the trees. It is es-
timated that the crop will amount to
about 3.3 per cent of the ordinary
yield.
There will be about half of the usual
crop of blackberries, and about three
fourths the crop of raspberries, and
pears have dropped to about 81 per
cent. These estimates are made by
H. H. Swain. secretary of the Indiana
Horticultural society.
Grapes, plums and cherries will al.
SO fall slightly below normal, but have
not suffered as much as the other
fruits mentioned.
On account OF the fact that some OF
the fruit crops will fall below the
normal yield there is all the more rea-
son why everything possible should be
done to save and preserve what fruit
there viii be on hand. A community
Gamer for Wayne county would do
much to accomplish this, would effect
big saving and eliminate consider
able waste, is the opinion Of Miss
Nina Short, home demonstration agent
for Wayne county.
1t is the plan to install and operate
one Gamer at first, and If the venture
proves a success, as there Is every
evidence now that it will, other can
ners would be installed in Wayne
county. The cost of such a communi-
ty Gamer is very small and the saving
that could be effected so great that
the initial cost becomes a matter of
slight consideration.

State Must Furnish 423
Registered Nurses for
Service With Red Cross
(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, June 11.-Indiana
must furnish 423 registered nurses to
the American Red Cross for military
duty. That number is the states
shar re of the $4,000 nurses the Surgeon
Generals department Of the Army ana
Navy has called for. Announcement
of Indiana's quota came heref rom the
Lake Division Red Cross headquarters
at Cleveland. Ohio's quota is 1,464
and Kentucky's PIT. Speaking of diff
ficulties in the past in getting regis
tered nurses for Red Cross work, Miss
Mary M. Roberts, division director OF
bureau of nursing said:
Individuals and institutions en-
ploying nurses have closeup view OF
their own problem only instead OF see
ing in its proper aspect the govern
ment's need for thousands Of regis
tered nurses. Some of the well-to-do
apparently wish to have exactly the
same luxurious care at home that
they have always had. This is not
reasonable. Many nurses have been
released from long and chronic cases
by patients who understand the need,
but there are still considerable num-
bers of such patients who can ade-
quately be cared for by less skilled
persons, and who fail to realize that
they are depriving our military forces
of just so much support.
Special nursing in the hospitals ex-
cept in serious cases is now luxury
that must be dispensed with. With
increasingly large groups Of student
nurses in our hospitals large number
of our patients can be admirably cared
for under the supervision of very few
graduate nurses"

Red Cross Notes

The Lake Division News contains
the following statement by Mary NJ.
Roberts, director OF the bureau of
nursing:
More than 10000 nurses enrolled
by the Red Cross. are now in service.
Fifteen thousand more must be ready
before January /, 1919.
The call for nurses is one that ap-
peals to their patriotism. 1t should
also appeal to the patriotism of the
medical profession and OF the organi-
cations and institutions employing
nurses. Unless they conserve nurses
as Mr.. Hoover urges us to conserve
food, our military obligations cannot
be met
'"The campaign should mark the be-
ginning only of community interest in
nursing and community response to this
need.
THE time has come when no ply
stefan is justified in keeping a nurse
with patient one day longer than Is
necessary to insure safe GONZALES
cence, and no patriotic patient would
wish to be condemned for selfishness
as he must be. II he SO retains Q
nurse.
For a single wounded American,
wounded soldie TO sailor, to lack
proper nursing woud be blot
forever on American womanhood.
with this thought in mind, it Is
hardly conceivable that our commune
ties will not give and again give OF
their nurses to met this vital need"
The report Of R. F. Grant, division
director OF the Lake Division shows
that the subscription of Lake Division
to the second war fund amounted to
S12,598,873, an oversubscription OF 1874
per cent. Kentucky subscribed $2,110,-
