Hauskins of Eston Saskatchewan, holder of the world title for breaking new ground, has set himself to seed in ten days oi less most of the 50,00O acres com. prising the worlds greatest wheat farm which Chicago capitalists headed by Frederick s. Oliver. will operate in the rich Snipe Lake dis. trict of Saskatchewan. In line with this general offensive is the effort of the provincial and Dominion govern ments which are cooperating on the most gigantic scale in history in a plan by which more than 1.500 square miles will be seeded and worked this spring with tractors.
 "Back to the land that food may help win the war" is the cry up and down the land. and back to the land both the United States and Canada are sending thousands of newly drafted men. counting them patriots still who farm instead of fight.

artillery regiments are stationed. The negro division is as complete in all it's various departments as the white divisions. Originally these units were
 a negro regiment in the Eighty ninth division which was transferred last
 summer. to form the nucleus of new division composed of recruits from
 the Sunny South. The training of the
 division now is far in advancc-about
 on a par with that of the Eighty
 ninth division.
 The big attraction on the amuse-
 ment line among the negroes is the
 Knights of Columbus building devot-
 ed exclusively to the colored men. It
 is centrally located in the midst of the recreation and drill areas. Titus Alexander. a former Los Angeles ne- gro political leader. is the secretary and c. A. Guillot of Washington, D. C., is executive secretary. The secre- taries are especially active to extend the welcome sign to the recruit up- on arrival, greeting him at the receiv- ing station and later at the detention camp where he is supplied with read ing material and stationery and im- pressed with the idea that he is ''to make himself at home." Religious services are held Sunday and every night special entertainments are ar ranged for the negro soldiers-one day a moving picture show, the next an athletic exhibition, etc. Wednes- day, however, carries the stellar role of the week. It is known as "stunt" night. 1t is a real amateurs night at the "voodevil" when every man is given an opportunity to display his histronic ability. Occasionally real star performer blossoms out most un- expectedly. Last Wednesday night negro rookie from Georgia climbed on tho platform, took up broom and put on a combination of jig and a manual of arms that was character ized as scream" Already the dusky minstrel has been drafted" to put on his performance for the Eighty-ninth at the Funston theatre.
 Funston's Liberty Theatre for ne- groes is said to be the only one in the various cantonments exclusively for the use of colcred soldiers. This is made possible by the fact that the Zone" furnishes ample theatrical en- tertainments for the white men. The Liberty Theatre was opened last week and is showing first class vaudeville. lyceum attractions, dramas and musi- cal comedies. Talent is provided by the camp activities committee of the Fosdick commission, supplying the. same attractions given to the other divisions.
 An athletic director has arranged baseball and tennis tourna- ments, and fins ample material am ong the colored troops. Wrestling and boxing bouts are held each Tuesday. Athletics are encouraged and primary education is given to the illiteMte.

Seeding gangs have begun the spring drive on the Kaiser and his Huns with the battle fleets of huge tractors. In the fields, both in the United States and Canada, they are preparing for the greatest crop year in the history of the continent. Tractors and their crews are doing the work of many times as many men and teams, and the promise of the farmers that they will provide the food with which to win the war is to be put to the test this year.
 City men are looking to the land for their chance. Women, too, since tho advent of huge iron horses, will do as mach in the field as men. Women Of the United States are studying agriculture and field clothes; the women of Canada have risen with a plan for a national reg ksraticn of woman-power. Boys in

thls country, and also in Canada, too young to go to France as soldiers in the battle of men and guns, are rush ing to enlist in agricultural work. Their fathers and grandfathers, re- tired merchants and farmers, indi- viduals and corporations, are going afield with the same inspiration. Three retired farmers have volun- teered to farm 1,500 acres of un- plotted city subdivisions in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Camp Funston, May 25.-Thc bril- liant showing made by the cngro sol diers on San Juan hill nearly ten years ago can be looked upon as a criterion of what may be expected of the ninety-second division of the new American army when it gets "cver there." Remarkable" is the word used by army officers here in describing the developmnt of the ne- gro soldiers since they came into camp as raw recruits. The character istic makeup of the negro to adapt himself readily to environment is wit messed here with extreme satisfaction by the superior officers. Realizing the importance of surrounding the dusky soldiers with such environment that will bring out their best quail ties and maintain a high morale. the Ninety-second refiment is accorded all the privileges in their own division that the white soldiers are in theirs.
 "The negroes of the ninety second arc happy and contented bunch," de clared one of their number, a former college man. Among us are many we'll educated negroes-college grad uates and skilled laborers. These as rule have advanced quickly to eXe- cutlve position, more rapidly in fact, than such intelligence would have won among white troops. It is safe tc say that eighty per cent of the men as whole have more reason to be happy than they ever had before. Their standards of living are higher, thoir ntoti u1, and their amusements and entertain ments arc sc superior to what they had in civil life as not to be compar- able"
 The colored lads by no means are lacking in soldierly pride, and natur- ally are ambitious to outstrip if pos sible the military showing of their white co-patriots.
 "The white men of the Eighty-ninth division have nothing on us,' is the way negro corporal of the Ninety second division expressed himself. "Of course we think so, but we also have convinced the inspection off cers. They tell us we compare favor ably with the white soldiers in neat ness of appearance, military bearing, daily formation and in the various maneuvers. And when it comes to get ting lover tNcre'-none are more anX- ious than we are to get swat at the Germans. Just watch us once they turn us loose on the kaiser!'
 There is only portion of the Nine ty-second division at Camp Funston This consists of division headquarters, headquarters troop, two attached ma chine gun companies, machine gun battalion train and military and auto repair shops. The other portions of the division are stationed in six other cantonments in the south and east, the nearest of which is Camp Dodge which signal troops, engineers and

ITALIAN KIDDIES ARE GRATEFUL I'D AMERICANS
Pathetic Letters of Gratitude Come From Recipients of Aid Thru
 Red Cross

Anguillara, Sabazia, May 25.- Perhaps some little girl or little boy who has contributed pennies to the American Red Cross would like to know how the children of Italy have received the gift. Here is a letter which was composed by little children of soldiers in this small town in the country, not great many miles from Rome. The parents of these children have not enough to take care of them properly and so. thanks to the contri- buttons of their small brothers and sisters in America. they receive one meal each day at the American Red Cross kitchen and the rest of day they spend in the school of the Ameri- can Red Cross, while their mothers are at work. Some of the little ones are orphans whose fathers have been killed in the war; the fathers of the others are now fighting the great battles in which America is engaged with Italy, France and England.
 Here is the letter which these children have written, and if any lit tie child in America wishes to answer, he should simply address his letter to the children of the Anguillara Am erican Red Cross Kitchen (Cucina), !, Anguillara Sabazia, Italy.
 Anguillara Sabazia.
 Dearest American Brothers and Sis
 You are little same as we in age and also in stature; but great in mind and of heart oyu have thought and think of us and you have willing ly deprived yourselves of your little savings to come to our help, knowing that our fathers have long time been fighting at the front, and therefore cannot earn and provide as before in time of peace for all our little needs, and you have taken in part their places.
 Then you love us! And we love you, accepting with pleasure your gifts and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
 We that write to YOU are children of the town of Anguillara Sabazia, pro- vince of Rome, and in number we are 215, tasting every day your saluta- tion in the hot soup. Again we thank you, little generous ones, and your fathers. and the beneficient Ameri- can eRd Cross, and the officers, and the kind ladies that represent it.

 Naples, March 1O.-When the men and women of the northern district of Italy known as the Friuli, had to flee for their lives last fall before the ad- vancing enemy, many little children were lost, becoming separated in that rush from their parents; and since then have been many heartaches. |Ihe little children who were fortunate enough to remain with their families, could not always be cared for and therefore home have been established for them throughout Italy. One Of these homes is in Naples. 1t was or ganized by Princess Maria Colonna. This is one of the many homes of the

Princess Colonna, writing to the American Red Cross delegates at Naples, says: "These children are very grateful and would be happy to thank you personally. The eldest Doy | wrote letter and 1 am sending It,, certain that you will appreciate thelr gratitude
 The boy who wrote the letter is shown standing at the left of the accompanying photograph. His let ter follows:
 Posillipo. We little refugees who have been rescued at Posillipo by the Grey Friars, wish to thank the American Red Cross very much for all the beau tiful things which you have given us though the medium of our dear lad ies. Now we are clean again. We have underwear, dresses, caps, shoes, ap- rons and even umbrellas for the rain and also our Mammas have been pro- vided for.
 I am writing in the name of all be- cause among the little ones l am the oldest and therefore thank you for all.
 The little refugees of Italy will al ways remember with a grateful spir- it the American Red Cross.
 Respectfully yours,. Angelo Zecchini.
 If any American child who has contributed to the Red Cross and whose money has gone to supporting these little children who have no fathers and mothers who can support them now. wishes to write to the lit tie boy, the letter should be addressed to Angelo Zecchini, Comitato Autono- mo Posillipo, Ricovero Piccoli Profu- ghi, P:osillipi, Naples, Italy.

Hot Water Cast On Stove
Doesn't Touch &c

It is impossible to throw q few
drops of water on red-hot stove.
The water can never touch the stove
at all. What is seen is few drops
running rapidly over the surface, grad
ually getting smaller as they disap-
pear. # the drops are on perfectly
level place one can see under them to
the other side of the room, thus prov
ing that they are not in contact with
the stove itself. What actually hap
pens is that the bottom Of the drop
changes at once to steam or vapOr on
coming close to the hot surface, and
this vapor is supplied BY the drop as
1t gradually goes away. So the drop
rests or cushion of vapor until 1t is
entirely dissipated. This state of wa
ter Is known as the spherical stage,
and it is of interest simply on account
of It's peculiarly and seemingly para
doxical behavior. The reason why the
drop Is not Immediately evaporated or
changed to steam is also very inter-
estlng. The water vapor that, inter-
venes between the under surface and
the red!hot stove is very bad con-
ductor of heat, and consequently the
full intensity of heat cannot get into
the water itself, only the amount
transmitted through the vapor- being
available for that purpose.

BADGE OF SPLENDID SERVICE
How Red Cross Came to Be Adopted
by Those Whose Mission Is to
Aid the Unfortunate.

The Red Cross. as a badge of serv-
ice for suffering humanity dates back
more than three hundred years, writes
correspondent to the Evening Post,
and its origin must be Of interest at
this time when it has expanded as q
society into a multitude that ministers
to the physical needs of our army and
navy here and abroad. -.
Camillus de Lellis was born in the
kingdom of Naples in 1850. After
serving in the Venetian army he went
to the rhospitafyo of San zGiacomo in
Rome with..an affection Of the leg.
There he was SO much. impressed by
the horrors and filth of what was little
better than pesthouse that he re-
solved to devote his life to suffering
humanity, ''to care for the. plague
stricken and to nurse the sick In their
own homes" At thirty-two he was
ordained priest and set about: found
ing religious order ito serve the
sick" 81.
"They shall wear red cross upon
their breasts" said Camillus, ito re-
mind them Of the suffering of our
Lord Christ. This will give them
strength and encouragement" Pope

The next garment allotment will be

send out allotments until materials are
on hand for making the articles.
The American Red Cross has be-
come a very large manufac turing cor

limited only by the shortage Of raw
materials and the capacity Of factories
in making them up.
The situation should be carefully
explained to workers, so that working
