Salvation Army to Put Them in Op.
Grafton From Coast to Coast.


The first hotel in the United States
for the exclusive use Of American SOL
diers sailors and marines, has been
opened by the Salvation Army at San
Diego, Cal, and is the forerunner Of a
string of such badly needed places to
be put in operation at once from coast
TO coast.
Accompanying the announcement
by Commissi oner Thomas Estill, OF
territorial headquarters, was the news
that six additional hotels and huts
have been ordered erected Immediately
at six southern training camps. The
locations are Camp Sheridan, Mont

The boys want us in the camps
and we are going to meet their re-
quest" Commissioner Estill said.
They asked the Salvation Army to
establish plain but useful hotels for
the use of themselves and their rela-
tiHes and friends who visit them. The
hotels. as are Dur nuts; will be ham

enced workers.
There are sleeping accommodations
provided for $50 men at the hostel and
other helpful features are being pro-
vided. Commissioner Estill also an

stretch from coast to coast for the en-

Smut Damaging the
County Wheat Crop

Smut a fungous disease, that has
will do serious damage to the crop, in
the opinion of County Agent w. A.
Buchanan, who has been investigating
the outbreak of the disease. In thirty,
or more fields in the western, north
western and northern parts of the
county that the county agent has
visited he found the smut in very
large percentage Of the fields. He esti-
mates that where ten days ago fields
gave promise of yielding twentS'fve
or thirty bushels of wheat to the acre,
the yield will be cut to eight or ten
bushels by the disease.
The smut attacks the developing
grains of the wheat, which are now
in the milk. In appearance the smut
is pinkish. and quite pronounced in
color where it has accumulated thick
est. If the kernels are examined they
will be found to be shrunken and
shriveled and will not develop. In many
samples Buchanan brought from the
fields only part of the grains of each
head were affected. The disease, which
has appeared in only the last ten days
or So evidently has spread rapidly thru
fields, attacking both winter and spring
wheat. Like all funguous diseases 1t
has spread rapidly and increased dur
ing the cool moist weather. There is no
help for the fields affected, and the
county agent thinks that the loss will
be very considerable indeed. He is al
ready planning to locate fields not al
fected in order that from them seed
that has not been affected can be pro-
cured for next year.
One farmer who has a field of wheat
that is badly infested told the county
agent that no noticed last year that
there was little of the smut in the
field, but not enough to do any harm
He used seed from the field for plant
ing this year.

MANY CAN APRICOTS.

If Peach Seed E!svcr Is Liked; Seeds
May Be Utilized With Preserves.
If one likes the peach seed flavor in
preserves, the seeds of apricots, which
are being canned in large quantities
lzed in preserves made of this delicious
fruit.
The seeds may be removed from the
pits and .blanched, then ground or
chopped fine and added to the pre-
serves. Too many should not be used,
or the flavor will be too strong. The
flavor is similar to the peach seed
flavor, as the apricot is d cross between
a peach and plum.
The California apricot never was
more popular locally than it is this sea-
son. Heretofore local wholesalers or
dered only thirty-five or fifty crates
at time, and probably handled not
more than 100 crates during the sea-
son. This summer two carloads of
apricots, containing 1000 crates, have
been sold in this CITY.
Besides being a delicious fruit the
apricot appeals to housewives from the
fact that it requires but very little
sugar either for canning or making
preserves. The apricots will take the
place of some oe the home grown small
fruits which were scarce this year. such
as strawberries. cherries, and plums.
Women who have canned apricots
claim that the cost per quart is 30
cents, which is chea per than full quarts
Of the best grade of commercially
canned fruits.
Another incentive to home canning
of fruits is that it is more than likely
commercially canned fruits are not go
ing to be as nice for the same COM
parativc grades as heretofore because
of the sugar shortage and the fact that
the syrups will be thinner than before.

the call for Murphys services comes
from Charles A. Comiskey.
Murphy generally was conceded to
be the premier outfielder Of the Gen.
trail association, and since joining the
Des Moines club has been popular In
that aggregation. Aside from being
wonderful fielder, Murphy has an
exceptional throwing arm and is a
hard hitter In the Western this year
he led the league in home run hitting.

WAR GARDENS AFFECT BEANS
Dealers Say That String Beans, Now
Plentiful. Are Druq on Market.

Dealers report that string beans,
which are now plentiful, are becoming
drug on the market. String beans
are one of the most satisfactory crops
for home canning, and the lack of de-
,nand probably may be explained from
the fact that SO many war gardens are
providing sufficient quantity for home
canning.

Thursday evening. Inspector Edward D.

today. Director General McAdoo was

employees"
Failure by congress to determine the
future OF the roads. it is held. threat
ems to demoralize the transportation

The spirit which officials said Is
growing among the employees may be
expressed in these words:
IF the government doesn't care
what becomes Of the roads or how
