The third liberty bond sale disclosed
several things 10 the american people.
among others the fact that while the

the middle west oversubscribed to the
bond while the east was tagging be
hind The east had called the west
indifferent, iukewarm. and even dis

production OF foodstuffs for the pupils
and for the stock.
Even Better Work In 1918
Last year by means of intensive
cultivation these school farms and
gardens largely augmented their pro-
ductivity and the year 1918 is to see
still further increase. Such lands as
are unfit for cultivation have been
used for grazing cattle to increase the
nations supply of food. and sheep TO
do their part for the wool as well as
the food supply.
The messages which the Commits
sioner has sent out from time to time
during the past nine months to the
superintendents and agents of Indian
reservations are as inspiring as they
are practical. Here is a part of one:

tive that every tillable acre of land be

that last seasons production and the
coming seasons promise have at

Commissioner Sells. anticipating
what war meant in ito relation TO the
food supply sent forth his Instructions
10 every agency under his control for
increased planting, and in less than
week after President Wilson'S war
message the Indians were actively at
work on their lands.
Twenty-folr States contain the $50
900 Indians in the United States, and
there are over one hundred Indian
reservations. Last year there were
more than three milliohs$acres in In.
dian reservations. varying in size from
a few thousand acres to several hun.
dred thousand acres put under cult.

this period OF war stress"
Wheat. corn. beans. potatoes and
meat were the commodities stressed
last season by the Commissioner in
his message to his agents in the field.
The responses were worth the appeal
Here is a. reply to one of many tele-
grams sent out:

To arouse the Indians to sense
OF the importance OF their activity in
food production meetings have been

to explain the meaning OF this war and
the reason for the personal effort Of
every man. woman and child. To see
that the work outlined is being con-
carried out in accordance
with his directions, the Commissioner

agriculturists in the service to drop
everything else and visit the different

Great tmprovemen have been
made in dealing with the recoils. In
the old days when guns were fred

considerable distance owing to the ra.
action from tho shot as IL left IN.
muzzie. and had TO be brought back
into position by the gunners. Toward
the close of the last century an Eng
llshman introduced spring spade ar
rangement whereby on discharge thu
spade was forced into the earth and
the spring was compr essed, its suhse-
quent extension running the gun back
Into position. The guns Of today slide
back in cradle on the carriage
which does not move. the recoil being
taken UP by hydraulic buffer con.
sisting OF cylinder filled with OIL or
glycerine in which moves a piston at.

brought gently 10 rest and Ia returned
TO the firing position. by springs or by
compressed air. To prevent the car.
rage from running backward the at
tached spade digs into the ground
when the first shot Is fred The gun
ners do not have 70 stand back as in
former years TO avoid the recoil, but
can remain in the shelter Of the steel
shield which protects them from
shrapnel and rifle bullets. Germany
paid special attention TO the develop
ment OF heavy ordnance evidently ex-
recting that she would have 70 batter
down the powerful forts which her
netghhors had erected on their Dor.

At a distance of eleven miles and tore

anna Canal. This gun carried a pro.
