time had ever seen him in such a
state Of plebian negligee, and I receiv-
ed more or less of shock. had been
so accustomed to seeing him in uni
form, both in pictures and in person,
that it had never occurred to me that
underneath that symbol of pomp the
kaiser probably dressed the same as
we lesser mortals. noticed incident
ally that when he put on his military
coat he put it on right over his under
shirt.
Homburg was much nearer the fir
ing line than Pless, although, Of course,
at very safe distance. I noticed,
however, that here anti-aircraft guns
had been planted, but apart from that
there was hardly any more activity
than there had been at Pless. r
While walking down the corridor I
was stopped by an officer and asked
who I was, but, as a rule, came and
went without molestation and seldom
had to show my pass, which one Of the
kaiser's adjutants had given me and
which permitted me to enter and leave
army headquarters for the whole year
1917.
When I was driven through the
streets of Homburg, both coming from
and going to the railroad station, in the
kaiser's motorcar, and the second-man,
or bugler, on the front seat, blew the
horn, people came running out of
stores and from afar to get view of
the important parsonage who occupied
the kaiser's own car! Many Of them
saluted me or raised their hats. and I
thought how angry they would have
been had they known they were put
ing themselves to so, much trouble to
salute an alien enemy!
The Righteousness of the whole
thing impressed me very much. For
the moment I was part Of the play
which was ever being made to i'm
press and awe those whom the kaiser
was pleased to refer to as "my peo-
ple," but whose appreciation means
everything, even to monarch who
rules "by divine right"

must have more ships to win
the war. We must have them
for tho great merchant marine
that will carry Americas com
merce, under the American flag
to all the worlds ports after the
war. Every vessel that is
turned out in the country counts
toward the defeat of Germany.
Every worker in shipyard can
feel that he is doing u part to
ward winning this struggle
only less important than that

who are not called for military

School Opens at Cadet.

a public school for children
of the First and Second Grades
was opened Monday morning
in the Holiness Church at Cadet
with Miss GLADYS Lyle in
charge. For some time the
question of locating public
school for the smaller children
of that end of town has been
agitated The opening of the
school at this time will serve
two purposes: first, it will give
an opportunity for the balance
OF this year To the children who
haye missed time in school To
get new start and learn as
much us possible before the end
of the session; in the second
place it will test out thoroughly
the demand for permanent
school at Cadet. If the attend
ance at this temporary school
this spring ID large and regular,
If the work done is satisfactory,
the School Board will feel en-
couraged to make every effort
to provide an adequate school
building for tho 1918 10 session.
That the enrollmant will DO
large is evidenced by the tact
that residents of Cadet circula-
ted petitions for school on
which they secured signatures
promising attendance by 81
children of the First and sec :
aud Grades if the school for
these two grades were opened

Buy Garden
Seed Early

Blatksburg, Va, Feb. 25.-
"Reports show that garden seed
of@ll kinds will be very scarce
this year X. T.. Marshall,
horticulturist of the extention
division, Virginia Polytechnic
Institute, says: "And all seed
houses are urging gardeners 10
place their orders rs early us
possible. While truckers have
already secured a supply, it is
probably that some of our home
gardeners are waiting 10 order
until week or so before they
intend plant ng." Mr.. Marshall
says further:
ga great deal of old seed will
be placed on market this year,
and since it is not apt to GERM
nate well. it is important that
every one give his seed ger
mination test'tliis spring. Thi,
can be done by placing the
seed between wet blotting pa
per and leaving in warm place
for few days. This will Civ,
the grower an idea of the va
rious kinds of seeds he SHOULD
plant. Most of the seed cata
logs urge people not to buy an,
more seed than they will actu
ally need.
"ln this year of seed shortage
any waste through reckless buy
ing and planting is as bad as
waste of food. An seed shoul,
be protected from rats and mice
as they can make large suppl

the seed in tight cans or jars o

Save Wood
And Conserve Coal is Fuel
. Request

State Fuel administrators H.
f. Byrd has sent out an S. O.lS.
call to the population OF the
rural sections of the State, sug-
gesting and questing that an
unusually large amount of wood
for fuel purposes, be harry ested
this year against the cold next
winter, and that wood be burn.
ed in all parts of the country
sections, as far as possible, in
order that the supply of coal
may not uselessly be diverted
from the largo urban centers
and from the important indus,
trial and manufacturing plants
of tile State. The imperative
Importance of this recommen-
dation is strongly stressed by
Administrator Byrd, who fears
the possibility OF n continuation
of the coal shortage.
w. b Barrow, of the United
States Forestry Department, at
Washington, has been assigned
to the office of Administrators
Byrd, in Richmond, and Will
travel over Virginia in an effort
to stimulate the cutting of fuel
wood. Mr. Barrow will offer
suggestions of value to the com
mnnities visited by him and
will work in hearty conjunc.
ton and co operation with local
fuel commissioners.
While not desiring to occa.
sion alarm, Administrators Byrd
yeI feels lmpelled To warn the
people of Virginia against toe
