Don't Get Tired So Easy.

In American Magazine an author
says:
'The thing that makes the tired
business man. tired is his belief that
he is tired. Believe the contrary.
There have been times when you work
ed all day and all night on a stretch.
It did not kill you.
''Work itself, as the modern busi-
ness world is organized, cannot pos
sibly tire out the man Of average nor
NAL health. If it could, Edison would
have been dead at the age Of thirty
five, Bell would never have produced
the telephone. Henry Ford would not
be now king Of the automobile bust
ness, Herbert G. Hoover would not be
controlling and directing the nations
food supply today, Woodrow Wilson
would be in a sanitarium, and Gen.
eral Pershing would be taking a rest
cure instead Of commanding Ameri-
can soldiers in France"

HAY CAPS RETURN THEIR COST
IN BETTERING CROPS VALUE

From the last issue of the Orleans
County Agricultural Association News
bulletin:
Hay caps, covers used in curing hay
in cocks, give protection from rain,
reduce the loss of leaves, improve the
color, and increase the feeding value
of the hay, according to Farmers
Bulletin GIT, recently published by
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture.
One of the strongest recommended
tions for the use Of hay caps is the
fact that the hay growers east of the
Mississippi river who have used them
are nearly always very enthusia site
regarding their advantages. The chief
reason that hay caps are not used
more extensively, both North and
South, according to the bulletin, is
that most hay growers are of the
opinion that they cost too much to
warrant their USE In many sections
the bulletin adds, the reduction in the
value of hay through discoloration by
sun and rain in a normal season
amounts to as much as, or perhaps
more than, the cost Of enough hay
caps to prevent this loss.
Two Kinds of Caps.
Hay caps are of two distinct types
those that are entirely impervious
to both air and rain, and those that
shed nearly all of the rain, and at the
same time allow most of the mois-
ture-laden air from the interior of
the stack to pass through and be
carried away. The caps are fastened
on the hay. cocks either by weight at
tached to each corner of the cap or
by heavy wire pins run through eye
lets in each corner of the cap and into
the hay, or by the use of strings tied
to each corner of the cap and fastened
together near the ground on opposite
sides of the cock. Caps should be
put in place as soon as the cock is
made, but when there is no indication
of rain this may be delayed until the
following forenoon. When the caps
are not in use they should be dried
thoroughly and stored. If properly
cared for they will last several sea-
sons, and can be used on three or four
cuttings each season.
Caps Value Shows.
At the New Jersey Experiment
station it was found that when some
cocks of alfalfa were covered with
SOCCoil oIecCHlS caps 10 lIlCIcS SQUARE
and exposed to a heavy rain lasting
"a hours the hay was damp only or
3 inches below the top. The cocks
that were not covered received thor
ough wetting and the hay was more
or less bleached, the stems brittle,
and the loss of leaves heavy.
Hay caps are especially valuable
in curing alfalfa and clover hay,
which do not dry out as readily as the
grasses. Alfalfa hay must be handled
carefully to prevent loss of leaves,
which constitute from 40 to 60 per
cent of it's weight, according to the
bulletin. Farmers making a special |
ty of producing choice hay for the
market, or feeders, such as dairymen,
desiring good, palatable hay, free
from dust, will find that under GER
tain conditions it will pay well to cure
hay in cocks, under caps, when ordin-
airy methods have been found to be

some USES OF THE PEOPLES
MONEY BY The WAR
DEPARTMENT

Since the United States entered the
war, little more than 10 months ago,
the War Department has raised,
equipped, trained and, with naval
help, sent across the sea upward of a
million and half of soldiers and has
practically as many more under train
ing at home. The number of Ameri-
can soldiers lost in transit as a re-
suit of U-boat attacks up to Septem-
Der 1 last was less than 500.
In this time more than 100000
lilies of the new 1917 model, consid
red by many experts the best army
rifle in the world have been made, in
spected, assembled and issued, and
the weekly production is growing
The total amount Of money directly
appropriated by Congress for the Ord
nance Program, or for which authori-
cation has been given to incur obi
cations, amounts to approximately
$4,000 100000, since the beginning of
the war.
From the beginning Of the war, to
June 80, 1913, the last day of the past
fiscal year, contracts were placed by
the Ordnance Department from ap-
preparations and authorizations exist
ing at that time amounting to $4,300,-
100000. 1t is estimated that during
the present fiscal year ending June 80,
1918, the actual cash expenditures for
ordnance will reach total Of $1,000
100000.
The major items for which cash ex-
penditures were made or for which
contracts were placed. up to June 80,
1918, were:
Artillery $1,000, 600 600
Automatic Rifles 800, 600 900
Small Arms 100, 900 600
Artillery Ammunition 1900, 600 900
Small Arms Ammunition APO 600, 900
Stores & Supplies 230, 600 900
Armored Motor Cars 100, 900 900
$4,1OO, OOO 900
Artillery Ammunition $2,e5O,OOO,OOO
and Small Arms Ammunition $685.
100000.
Expenditures in connection with
military engineering operations direct
ly relating to the war have exceeded
$375,000,00O the past year, the larger
part going for docks and railways in
France.
Since the beginning of our partici-
patton in the war, there have been
bought for Army use 625,461,392 lbs
Of flour at cost of $43,375,445; 1885,
582,316 lbs Of sugar at a cost of $14,-
452,512; 11O, $40 lbs. of bacon at a
cost of $43,375,445; 102,894,742 lbs of
dried beans, at cost Of s12.613,469;
72,274,529 cans Of tomatoes, at cost
of $9,278,121 and 38,421,25 lbs. of rice
at cost of $2,775,519. These are but
six standard articles Of food but they

to India at the time of the Sepoy
mutiny as a member of the 93rd
Highlanders, and was under Sir Colon
Campbell, at the relief Of Lucknow,
for which he received the medal and
clasps.

two countries for he was a soldier of
the civil war, enlisting in the 1st

dams raid.
He married Mary McFarlane and
lived in Greensboro for nearly 40

WILL Be 81: LOADS or WHEAT
IF We SAVE TILL HARVEST

BaItlmore.-Every indication is that
the wheat shortage will be over in
September. Meanwhile, the most ur-
gent duty of every civilian in these
United States is to minimize the risk
Of seeing the Allied Cause starved into
submission or this country subjected
to drastic and perhaps dishonoring
food laws. The Maryland Food Admin
lstration, therefore, asks every citizen
to practice in his own home, and see

A few sailing ships and neutral tramps
are carrying wheat from Australia to

out of such public eating places as,

they do their full duty in obeying the

The waste Of the few may easily
bring hardship upon all. Save and
