Wild Hay

George w. Goethals, Acting Quar-
termaster General of the U. S. Army,
asks, Can anything be done to in
crease the cutting and shipping of
Wild Hay" The enormous require
ments of the army have forced the
price of tame hay so high that sub
stitutes will have to- be found. Wild
hay is considered splendid forage,
and if your Department can, through
its various agencies and papers, do
anything to advocate and encourage
the cutting, and shipping to markets
of wild hay, it will be of great as
sistance in securing the proper
amount of forage for the army.
Do you know of any waste land
that is growing up in wild hay of
any sort? If you do, the National
Government asks that you save it by
all means, as it is needed badly.
General Goethals also asks that
straw of all kinds be saved, as the
army requirements are getting great
er all the time. Save, and help your
Government and yourselves.
Any farmer who can help the army
in this matter will be aided in find
ing markets by the County Agent.

1000 projectiles have been 6s0pped in
the vicinity of the terrain cupied by
the Americans. many of them upon
towns The American casualties,
however, have been extremely light.
Sunday night the Americans contin-
ued to shell the enemy, and put down
two barrages on his positions. The
infantry activity was confined solely
to patrol parties The Americans
saz4e rehed,N mo Mans Land in the Snow

raiding.
None was found. but the body OF
one American was discovered in
American wire in front of listening
post. The man had on his gas mask.
A bullet had passed through his head.
Only two cartridges remained in his
rife. which was found under his body,

authorities to transferring them to
colder northern camps during the
winter are given as the principal rea-
sons for the delay.

Washington, d. c., March e
Notwithstanding the fact that he's
in the Marine Corps as a volunteer,
Jack Dots" Miller, former captain
and first baseman of the St Louis
Nationals, thought he stood a good
chance of being drafted.
The Marine Corps baseball team
in this city needs crack infeIders, ,and
Miller's name heads the list OF pros
poets.
Gee, l don't want to be drafted
and play ball" grumbled Dots, .
when informed that he may be chos-
en- to play on the crack Marine nine.
Il want to tight-that's why l join
ed this outfit. And now they want
ne to play ball. Can you beat such
luck" But when General Barnett
was informed that he would rather
fight than play ball, he declined to
order him to Washington.
Miller would probably have man
aged the Cardinals the coming sea-
son had he stuck to baseball instead
of Joining the Colors.
