PRESIDENT WILSON TAKES .
MUCH NEEDED REST

Magnolia, Mass, August 15.-Pres.
ident Wilson has arrived here, accom-
panied by his wife and Rear Admiral
Greyson- and will probably remain
over the weekend.
This unexpected visit by the presi-
dent is reported to be for the purpose
of resting from the burden of the
war labors, but while here the presi-
dent will visit Colonel House, as he
has brought several problems to dis
cuss with the colonel.
When the president left Washington
last night, there was distinct feel
ing there throughout official circles
that diplomatic events of the greatest
Importance were brewing.
President Wilson decided to visit
Colonel House suddenly after closed
conference with Secretary of State
Lansing.
Many delicate and serious interna-
tional problems now face the country.
Among them are: Mexico's threat to
double the tax on oil and enforce other
anti-foreign measures, in the face of
the objections offered by both the
English and American governments.
Second. The hostile attitude the
Bolsheviki has assumed toward the
Allies and the arrest of the Allied
consuls at Moscow, and the anti Czech
hostilities the Bolshevik are leading
in Siberia.
Third, The increasing gap between
Bulgaria and her teuton allies and the
growing possibility that an armistice
may be declared between Bulgaria and
the entente Allies.

we predict, will handle their portion
of the big crop this year.
In conversation with Mr.. Peppers,
we learned that this year promises to
be most excellent for the grower.
The outlook is bright for a steady and
brisk market for potatoes, while apples
especially Jonathans are short and will
be in great demand. Another thing,

A QUARTER IN A THRIFT
STAMP

All of us can help our govern

able way.
First of all, the government does
not want any of US to do without
things We need. II only asks that
we take the odd quarters that we
have from time to time that we
might spend foolishly and buy Thrift
Stamps with them. That's little
enough. isn't it? You can buy Thrift

The health of troops in the United
States continues very good, according
to recent report to the Surgeon Gen.
eral Of the Army by the Division Of
Field Sanitation. Admission, non
effective and death rates are somewhat
higher than in the last report, due
chiefly to precedence of influenza and
bronchitis with complicating pneumon-
ia, in many Of our northern camps.
National Guard camps, as a group,
continue with remarkably low rates.
Veryfew new cases of measles and
meningitis have occurred.
National Army camps continue to
have high sick rates as compared with
camps Of other groups, though the
rates are lower than last report. Scat
tering cases of measles are reported
from all camps.

WAR DEPARTMENT PLANS
FURLOUGHS TO HELP
FARM WORK

For the purpose OF augmenting agri:
cultural production it is the intention
of the War Department to grant fur
loughs to enlisted men to enable them
to engage in farming during the pres
ent season. Commanding officers may
grant such furloughs within prescribed
rules whenever it appears they will
contribute to increased farm produc-
tiOn.
Burroughs may be given by com!
manding officers of posts, camps, can
tonments, divisions and departments;
They will be for short periods, largely
for seeding and harvesting time They
will not be granted to enlisted men of
or above the grade Of first sergeant,
nor in all organization that has been
ordered to move or is in transit from
points of mobilization or training to a
port of embarkation. All furloughs
granted will be recalled and the men
ordered to their organizations when
they have received preparatory orders
for duty overseas.
Furloughs granted for farm work
will be without pay and allowances,
except that enough pay will be retain
ed in each case to meet allotments in
force on the day Of the order, war-risk

Orchard and Garden

Plant peas, Onions radishes and let
tuce now.
Don't let the hotbeds and cold
frames get too warm. Ventilate we'll
when the sun gets high.
Plant parsnips, carrots and Swiss
chard
Be sure the fruit trees are thorough
ly sprayed this spring. Wormy fruit is
not profitable.
1t is usually a safe plan not to be in
| a hurry to uncover fruits or perennial
plants in the spring until warm settled
weather.
A small kitchen garden near the
house is worth more than a large one
half-a-mile away and will be more
often used.
Children should be taught to care for
part of the garden. If properly di-
rected they may be interested in plant
life very early in life and really can do
much useful work.
Uncover Strawberries before the foli-
age becomes bleached white. Leave
the covering on as long as possible It
may prevent their blossoming in time
to be struck by late frost.
Where land for garden purposes is
scarce companion cropping may be. fol-

Society to better the treatment and
condition of dumb animals in addition
to it's work to prevent cruelty and
suffering among children, will be in
creased in the measure in which the

Warren pastors may find occasion
Sunday to allude to the humane move
ment, especially in view of the facts
that great clergymen have found ma
terial in the general subject for nota-
BILE sermons and that our animals are
helping our soldiers at the front just
now to win the great humane war for
democracy. Friends of animals may
contribute to the Red Star, Red

agriculture furloughs may be granted
by the Secretary Of War upon applica-
ton by the Secretary of Agriculture,

whom application is made.
Individual applicable for furloughs

out and presented to the local board,

ton he will give the name of the per-
son for whom he desires to work, from
whom will be ascertained the need for
farm service.
Furloughs may be granted en- bloc to
men who are willing to accept them,
upon requests of farmers, when time

Many enquiries as to what ito use
for hay this summer are being asked.
There is little of the clover seeded last
year that has made a stand and the
question of feed for another winter is
a serious one. Corn is no doubt the

As hay crop millet might be used but
