Soldier carrying pigeons to front.
Pigeons, thought of mainly as
backyard pets for years, are proving
their worth in war as messengers.
They are carried te the front in
baskets and held for emergency
work. When all other lines of com
munication between an advanced de-
tachment and the main line are cut
off the pigeons are released with
messages on their legs. 1t is esti
mated that ninety-four per cent of
the birds deliver their messages in

HOTELS FOR SOLDIERS.
Salvation Army to Put Them in OPP
Grafton From Coast to Coast.

The first hotel in the United States
for the exclusive use of American SOL
ders, sailors and marines, has been
opened by the Salvation Army at San

string of such badly needed places to
be put in operation at once from coast

Accompanying the announcement
by Commissi oner Thomas Estill. OF

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 TWENTY-FIVE
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 it
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 af-
fected in order that from them seed
that has not been affected can be pro-
cured for next year.
One farmer who has field of wheat
that is badly infested told the county
agent that he 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 Flavor Is Liked, Seed
May Be Utilized With Preserves.

IT Peach Seed r lavor 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
now by local housewives. may be uti-
lized 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 favor will be too strong. The
flavor is similar to the peach seed
flavor as he apricot is a cross between
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 a 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 delicious fruit the
apricot appeals to housewives from the
fact that it requires but very little
sugar either for canning or making
pIcSSIScS. hc dPIiColS VIII tdhc tht
place of some OF 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 cheaper 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
parative grades as heretofore, because
of the sugar shortage and the fact that
the syrups will be thinner than before.

the call for Murphy's 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 Mones club has been popular in
that aggregation. Aside from being a
wonderful fielder, Murphy has an
exceptional throwing arm and Is
hard hitter. In the Western this year
he led the league in home run hitting.

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-

the fact that so many war gardens are
