many and many thousands of dollars
would wander away from the turn
stiles.
The "aces" are the biggest assets the
magnates can boast of, and if you will
lamp the rosters of the sixteen major
league clubs you will find at least one
player on nearly every roster who fig
ures as the real drawing card of the
team on the road.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb is the greatest
drawing card in the business. He is
worth more to Detroit on the road than
all the rest of her players put together,
for the fans in rival towns go out large
~ to see Cobb, unless the Tigers are
up there fighting for a pennant, and
the rabids in small towns within easy
riding distance Of the big league cities
never miss chance to be on the job
when Cobb is billed to cavort at the
ball park. So Cobb alone Is worth
thousands of dollars to Detroit at the
turnstiles in the course of a season.

Sudden Retreat of an Army
Is Often Reduced to Chaos
And the Resultant Disorder

Moving a great army is an affair
Of timetables. There is room for only
a certain amount Of men and mate
rial on the roads and railways at one
time, and every man and every
wagon above that maximum becomes
a factor Of confusion and retards the
movement Of the whole mass to a
dangerous degree" writes G. Ward
Price In the Century. 'The sudden
retreat of an army is often reduced
to chaos, first, because a thoroughly
worked out plan of general retirement
exists but rarely in the strong-boxes
Of any general staff, and, secondly,
because in the absence of timetable
drawn up in detail and strictly en-
forced, the elementary principle Of
self-preservation leads every unit Of
the army to put itself on the road
just as quickly as it can get trans
portation. This is not to say that
confusion is an invariable indication

Just how few pairs Of shoes can we
get along with this summer? That's
the question that women are called
upon to settle for themselves, now
that wartime economy calls for re-
trenchment on all sides. Secretary
McAdoo says he has his shoes half
soled when they need it--and appears
to be proud of 1t, recommending this
course to every one else. Leaving out
house slippers and evening slippers
that need not come in the reckoning at
all, three pairs of good shoes will see
one through. This will seem an I'M
possibly slim allowance to the woman
who usually buys from six to twelve
pairs, but three pairs will answer.
There is no economy in having only
one pair of street shoes, because they
wear much longer and look much bet
ter when two pairs are worn alter
nately. Shoe trees keep them in good
shape when they are not in use and
are as necessary to shoes as hangers
are to coats and frocks.
A wartime summer outfit in shoes
might follow the suggestion in the
group of three pairs shown in the pic-
ture. These do not include shoes
made solely for sportswear, which can
be considered beside the question of
shoes that are Indispensable. All the
shoes pictured are in the best mate
rails and workmanship, which are
matters of real economy in footwear.
They include pair of substantial
black kid street shoes, pair of smart
white canvas oxfords and kid pumps
for dress.
The high boots for street wear have
sensible Cuban heels and moderately
heavy soles. Perforations along all
the seams and at each side Of the fac

The smart woman of today improves
each shining hour of summer by TAX
ing her knitting everywhere she goes,
and by wearing frocks much like those
that help to make the three graces pic
tured above, look so 1ovable. These
frockS are Of sort to make even the
jaded millionairess grow interested,
and everyone else, who knows any
thing about clothes, to grow enthusi-
astic. They have everything that we
aspire to in our apparel--simplicity,
style, refinement, originality-all with
In the boundaries set by the seasons
modes, and they are not out Of the
reach of women Of ordinary means.
1t Is hard to point out just what
gives distinction to frock as simple
in design as that worn by the girl sit
ting at the left. 1t lies In the choice
Of material, in good hues and In the
wide band of embroidery about the
skirt with It's motif repeated to finish
the neck. khaki-kool, or similar fab
RIGS, would be a good choice for 1t,
or some Of the heavy weaves in silk or
satin that are supple like those made
for the handsomest sports skirts. The
embroidery is done in the color Of the
dress with touches Of black or dark
color introduced. Oyster-sheli white,
gray or sand color are good choices for
this dress.

Care of Young Horses.

Give the weanlings and immature
horses good care. The colts should
be given an ample supply of grain and
good roughage in order that they may
mature into useful work horses. The
saving of grain should be made with
the idle mature horse and not with
the colt. There are many economical
rations that can be fed to both young
and mature stock, depending on the
local feeds available. Write to your
state experiment station for informa-
ton regarding the most economical ra-
tions to be fed in your state. Also
write to the United States department
of agriculture for Farmers Bulletin
803, which gives information on the
feeding and management of young
horses.

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER

(By the United States Department of Agri-
culture.l

Owners of back yards in cities and
towns are asked to do everything in
their power to help the meat and egg
supply by raising small focks of poul-
try in back yards. Farmers are re-
quested greatly to increase their farm
flocks Of hens SO that 100 on every
farm will be the average for the ma
ton.
The following statement regarding
the poultry needs is taken from the
official agricultural program fer 1913
issued recently by the United States
department of agriculture:
Poultry production should be in
creased greatly, especially in back
yards and on farms, where waste ma
terial is available and the purchase of
expensive grains and other material is
not required.
Increased poultry production may
be attained most economically by early
Matching; by combining mother hens at
least ten days after the chicks are
Matched; by reducing losses on ac-
count Of rats, weasels and thieves, and
from cold, damp conditions; by thor
ough sanitation; by discouraging the
marketing of early-hatched pullets as
broilers; by eliminating non-producing
hens and keeping good layers through
at least two laying Seasons; and by
the poultryman raising his own feed
as far as possible"

Of personal panic; but it is very nat
ural, and even very proper, that every
battery commander, the director Of
every military store and depot, and
the leader of every body of troops
which is not definitely ordered to re-
main, should have the individual de
termination that his particular COM
mand shall not fall into the hands of
the enemy.
'"The artillery officer firmly resolves
that he will save his guns at all
costs; the heads Of the supply depart
ments are in charge of valuable stores
which their army needs for it's very
existence and which would be Of great
aid to the enemy if captured, and the
troop leader naturally argues that 1t
would be futile to allow his men to
be cut off when a general retreat has
been ordered. SO If the organization
Of withdrawal is left to the discre-
ton Of the people involved in 1t, as
it has to be when the whole thing has
not been deliberately arranged before
hand, confusion is almost inevitable"

The great sky Is a garden fair,
And in the velvet gloom,
At night, among the meadows there'
The starry flowers bloom.
Forget-me-not and violet.
Are stars so very small
That often one must look and look,
TO see them there at all.
The lovely rose-star blossoms near
The sunflower bold and bright;
The buttercup and daisy stars
Wink saucily all night.
The red moon is the gardener
Who tends the starry lawn,
And smiles benignly Ger 1T all
Until the break of dawn.
And so they blossom all night through.
And never, never ole;
These myriads of flowers
In the garden of the sky.

Foch's Name Not Teutonic;
Almost Rhymes With "Hush''

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived regarding the correct pronuncia-
ton Of the name Of the new generals
simo of the allied armies.
On paper Foch seems Teutonic, says
the Chicago Herald, and suggests
throaty gutturals Of the kind that are
no longer popular in the civilized
world. But the name is pronounced
as IL 1t were spelled Fosh, with short
"o," like "uh," and almost rhymes with
"hush." This is on the authority of
LIE Courier DIES Etats Unis, French
daily newspaper published in New
York.
General Foch is Basque from the
Pyrenees, not an Alsatian. All Basque
names terminating in "ch" have the
soft SSH sound instead Of the Ger
manic cultural.

Biz WAGES for Spare Time.

Factory workers in an Ohio town,
last year, earned money during spare
time at the rate of 90 cents an hour.
That would be $3.50 for an eight-hour
day, $220.S0 a month, $2,64960 a year.
That is a good deal more than a fair
profit on idle hours.
What were they doing? Working in
home gardens, growing vegetables
that they and their families ate. The
manufacturing concern for which they
worked during regular hours kept an
accurate record of the time the men
spent working in the gardens and the
value of the garden stuff grown.
This matter isn't news, particularly.
1t is nearly nine months old. But it
does seem worth mentioning just now
by way of calling the attention of the
industrial workers of the nation to
the fact that time spent working home
gardens is not time thrown away, that
the hour they spend morning or eve
ming working the garden yields better
returns than any hour they put in in
the factory.

Take Tip From Old Mother
Nature When in Doubt About
Time to Plant Your Garden

From the United States Department of
Agricultural
By watching the processes of moth
er nature and taking a tip from her,
the home gardener who is not certain
when he should plant his seeds may get
some valuable information. Garden
specialists divide vegetables into two
classes - ''warm temperature" and
"cold temperature" vegetables. When
peach and plum trees are in blossom,
they say, it is time to SOW in the open
ground such seeds as lettuce, radish,
parsley, beets, turnips, cabbage, car
rots, peas, and onions. The wrinkled
peas should not be planted until later,
as they are more likely to rot in cool
ground than are the smooth varieties.
When the apple blossoms fall 1t Is
time to plant the heat-loving vege-
tables, such as cucumbers, beans,
sweet corn, pumpkin, and squash.
This is said to be an old but excellent
rule.

Why Beekeepers Fail.

Failure to make a success of bee
keeping almost always results from
lack of study of the needs of the bees,
combined with the failure to do
things On time. Bookkeeping is essen
TALLY an industry which requires
studious care, and in consequence the
proper development of this branch OF
agriculture necessitates to an unusual
degree the dissemination of informa-
ton Of rather detailed nature. While
there are published bulletins and
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1918-06-13

books which contain the needed infOr-
nation, these have not proved ade-
quate.
1t is quite possible for the American
beekeeping industry to be developed
so that the honey crop will be ten
times what it is at present. Not only
would such a development be valuable
in an emergency such as the present
crisis, but in normal times the bee
keeping industry can provide con-
centrated, nutritious food, almost uni
versally liked, and assuredly an arti-
Gle of diet preferable to the inferior
sirups and jams so commonly used.

CANNED LAST YEAR

Girls canning clubs in the
United States put up a total Of
14,640,1S7 containers of fruits
and vegetables during 1917.
Counting in the canning done
by the organized women's
clubs and through the home
demonstration agents, the total
canned product is estimated at
S50,000,000 quarts, with value
of about $140,000,000, and this
does not include the products,
