The American Army is using 1885,
900 pounds Of butter and 100000
pounds Of oieomargarine every month.
A War Department statement today
shows that soldiers stationed in this
country have about five times more
butter than oelomargarine, while in
France the quantities of butter and
oleomargarine are about equal. owing
to the greater difficulty in obtaining
high-grade butter.

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

From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
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 - swarm 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.

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 a 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
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 its very
existence and which would be of great
aid to the enemy If captured, and the
troop leader naturally argues that it
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 it, as
it has to be when the whole thing has
not been deliberately arranged before
hand, confusion is almost inevitable"

For the reason, perhaps. that every

that the longer they put on purcnas-

Whether this be the true explana-

Cary and Thirteenth Streets had

large. the demand for everything in the

and the commission merchants and
Wholesale produce dealers had all the
business they could manage.
There were no changes in the char
acter of the receipts, except that better
grades of apples were coming In and
there was considerable improvement in
the quantity OF the oranges that were
shipped TO Richmond. The shipments
of peaches are, of course. beginning
to fall off. Other fruits were about
as they were the week previous.
Receipts of poultry were consider
ably larger the first half OF the week.
but the demand was also larger. and
there was no shrinkage in prices. Egg
receipts fell off some, fresh country
eggs being really scarce. In conse-
Quence, the figures on these wsre
slightly advanced. Storage eggs re-
main unchanged.
The poultry jobbers look for con-
tlnued large receipts this week. but
the extra demand from the camps and
the government works surrounding
will undoubtedly keep the prices up.
