The kind of floor which is best suit

ponds upon the soil on which it is To-
Gated, and the use of the house. On
light sandy, well-drained soils a dirt
floor is satisfactory, especially for
small or colony hen houses. Such
floors should be from two to six
inches higher than the outside ground
surface, and it is advisable to renew
them each year by removing the con-
terminated surface down to clean soil,
gravel and earth. A board floor is
generally used where the level of the
floor in the house is from one to three
feet above the ground surface and
in portable houses on land which is
not well drained. Board floors har-

so that Gals or dogs can get under

permanent houses where IN artificial

Wooden floors are usually made Of

PROVIDE FOR SOLDIERS AFTER
THE WAR

The people OF the United states
are 80 busily engaged In raising an
army OF proper proportions and In
equipping and transporting them to
the fighting zone that we seem to be
overlooking the vital question OF pro-
viding for those who will soon be re-
turned to their home land, disabled
from disease and wounds.
II seems to be habit In America
to wait for emergencies to arise be-
fore attempting to take care of them.
While we are raising and spending
billions OF dollars to kill the Hun
an operation which will necessarily
mean that thousands OF our own boys
will be wounded. disabled and MAIN
ed---we have not yet begun to pre-
pare for taking care OF them after
they are discharged from the hospit-
ais provided for their immediate care
am informed that there are nine
thousand wounded and disabled sold
iers In the province OF British Colum-
bia alone--men who short time ago
left their homes IN perfect physical
condition, but who are now unable
to perform military service or to re-
sumo their usual occupations. | am
also advised that In British Columbia,
all interned enemies have been put
to work In the clearing aud improve
ment of public lands which the Cana
dian Government will distribute to
It's discharged soldiers while those
unfit for military duty oil the front,
are put over them as guards who see
that the internes perform the neces-
sary- work In improving the land
ready for occupancy and use when
the soldiers are returned to It. In
this way, the enemies at home are
compelled to work. but they also
work under supervision OF those who
have direct interest In getting the
land In NJ shape for their subsequent
use.

entirely in the hands of the respec-

evident by the constantly increasing

county but those who are away are
frequently giving encouragement to
this great religious weekly for the
greater amount of home news to be

papers and thus keep In touch with
general news and the war.

EXHIBITION GOLF MATCH.

MANCHESTER, July 19.-The golf
ers competing in the exhibition golf
match which will be played at Ekwan-
ok Country club July 81 for the bene
fit of the Manchester branch of the
American Red Cross are: Miss Alexa
Stirling, Miss Elaine Rosenthal, for
mer western champion and national run
nerup "Bobby" Jones and Perry
Adair. These four golfers are very well
known in the golfng world and it is
safe to say that hundreds of golf en-
thusiasts will journey to Manchester
to see the match. The doings of the
Manchester branch of the Red Cross
is worthy of word, for one-third of
the entire population of Manchester,
men, women and children, are enrolled
as members and the number of work
ers among the women has become SO
great that thousands of dollars are re-
quired to purchase the materials which
they use in the great work. The local
chapter is ably assisted by the summer
visitors and large shipments go for
ward each month.

still Is president of the club. but he

CANT0NMENTS WILL
USE MANY BASEBALLS

II anyone doubts that base
ball Is the American national

commissions on training camp
activities Of the army and navy
departments. Every one of the
million and a half men under
training in this country will In
dulge in baseball practice at one
time or another during the pres
ent season.
II Is estimated that approx
mately 10000 balls viii be used
up Officially" In the camp
games In the course of the sea-
son. This figure is arrived at
by estimating that there are
over 400 companies In training
In the various camps, and multi

Is the number of baseballs
the training camp commission
Is planning to furnish each unit,
in addition TO gloves and bats.
Many more Of course will be
supplied the men themselves.
and these will bring the number
nearer 10000, it is believed.
