JAPAE'S SMALL RICE GARDENS
In Comparison With Americas Miles
Of Farms They Might Almost Be
Termed Laughable.

Almost one-half of the land capable
of cultivation in Japan Is planted ia
rice. Handkerchief gardens would
perhaps best describe the little rice
fields, many Of which are no larger
than n tennis court, are equally flat
and are surrounded by rims of earth
to hold the water when the fields
are flooded.
The average rice field In Japan Is
about one acre and u half in size; but
large or small, each field must be lev
eled and each must have its rim or
dixie. There must be II system Of
canals to bring water to the fields and
another system of bitches to take 1t
away when 1t Is no longer needed.
1t is said that there are 12,OOO
square miles Of rice land in Japan, the
greater part of which has been pre-
pared with an almost infinite amount
of labor. That area of land cultivated
in rice virtually feeds a nation Of 5O,-
100000 people.

Remember.

When the war is over, no excuse will
so.
Either you were in it or you were
not.
Either you Shouldered your gun,
served in the trenches, or the Young
Mems Christian association, the Red
Cross or in some place where the door
was opened, or else you did nothing.
If you could not serve, you could
send your boys with Godspeed, as
they marched out to the front. To
hold them back stamped them as slack
ers.
Either you strained your resources
to buy Liberty bonds or you forgot
your obligation to those who fought
and died for your flag.
Disqualification for active service Is
no justification for forgetting the boys
behind the guns who sacrificed all
thought of gain and were willing to
sacrifice their lives at their country's
cull.-LeSlie'S.

POSTAL SYSTEM IN DISARRAY

qlfnntly than any other shipments. All
appeals to the patriotic spirit Of the
thieves were of no avail. The per-
ccntage of thefts increased steadily.
Finally the government was compelled
to take drastic and systematic meas
ures. The military branch was called
in and stations of control manned by
nOn-cOmmisSiOned officers and soldiers
were planted at principal railroad
points in the empire. The employ
mcnt of mere youths is blamed for
the deterioration of the postal service.
Practically al the employees of mill
tary age had to Join the army and
their places were filled by boys and
girls. Besides, the scarcity of food
tempts many to steal.

IS AS FATAL AS WAR
tuberculosis Kills as Many as
Fall From Bullets.
Dr.. Livingstone Farrand Appeals to
People to Enter Battle Against
Disease.

New Y0rk.-Mortallty from tuber.
cuosis among the civilian population
and in the armies of all the countries
engaged in the war has ut least ap-
prOXimntcd the total number of sol.
ders killed in battle, according to Dr.
Livingstone rarrund, director OF tho
American commission for the proven.
ton of tuberculosis In France.
That the people of America throw
themselves into the winning of the
war against tuberculosis with the same
zeal with which they have hurled
themselves against the Hun is the bur
den of an appeal made by Doctor Far
rand on the eve Of his return to
France.
ITO make our country really safe
we must first make it healthy" is the
slogan Doctor Farrand suggests for
this war against disease,
OF the men taiied to the eOiOrs by
the first draft $4,000 were found to he
tubercuar. This is one of the striking
indications Of the prevalence Of the
disease.
while the war has thus effectually
disclosed conditions which existed be-
fore, rather than produced these conGi-
tions, it is also true that in indirect
ways it has substantially increased the
tuberculosis problem IN the European
countries involved says Doctor Far
rand,
Il refer not to the situation In the
armies, where the mode of life often
tends to reduce this disease, but to con-
dtions which affect the civilian popu-
lation."
Increased food clothing and housing
costs neceSsitating, among the lower
wage groups, diminished quantity and
quality and their resultant undernutri-
ton. are given as contributing causes.
A nationwide campaign against the
disease and for adequate provision for
rejected and discharged soldiers suf-
fcring from 1t Is planned through 1900
le.al societies of the National Tuber-
culusiS association.

How Neuroes Go to Camp,

Catoctin clarion., 1918-09-19

We should put out of our minds the
Idea that we have stores of accumulat-
ed wealth upon which to draw for war
supplies. England had such stores, but
we have not. When England went into
the war she had great stores of out
standing legal claims upon the work
ing organization of the outside world.
She had also an established credit that
enabled her to gear into her own work
ing system the industrial power OF the
United States and many other neutral
countries. We are devoid of any COM

nothing to throw but our current in

Selling Enqs by the Pound.

Canada has been making the expert
ment of selling eggs by the pound in
stead of by the dozen, according to
Consul Fred G, Slater, Sarnia, On
tario.
''rhe only obstacle in the way of
unanimous Endorsement of the plan is
seemingly that the public has not been
educated to buy that way" says Mr.
Slater. "As refuting this objection it
is pointed out that, in view of the wide
variation in the size Of eggs, the con-
sumner would quickly realize that the
