In order to secure more extensive
cultivation OF soil in Nebraska a
movement has been started that is
worthy of national emulation. The
new plan is called "Acre Day." which
is designed to be worked out in small
towns and villages. Each man is
asked to lend an acre of ground and

be closed and each man will spend

1t is not believed that this plan will
work any hardship on business IN

The plan is valuable and worthy of
being followed for three reasons.
First-it will add materially to the

Every movement that has for its
object the more thorough cultivation
Of the vast acreage of this country,

ing the prodigious waste Of food and
other materials prior to the war, we
were probably more thriftless with
our land than in any other one re-
spect.
At this time of year, much atten-
ton should be given to the cultiva-
tion of the potato. 1t is a very good
form of patriotism. All over the
country movements are springing up
for total abstinence from wheat. The
spirit of patriotism in America is so
vital today that this movement easily
could be made universal and ii the
United States Food Administration
so desired, the country would elim-
mate wheat entirely from its diet.
The potato is an ideal substitute
for wheat and can be made large
part of the daily diet. There is p7ac-
tically no limit to the amount of po-
tatoes that can be grown in the
United States. They can be made
into flour and used as bread. They
can be used steadily three times day
without a thought of one growing
tired of them.
Even if one has only a few square
lfeet of ground space, it can be utilized
advantageously in potato raising
which is good example of patriotic
thrift.
Germany in the last year before the
war, produced almost two billion
bushels of potatoes. In this respect,

VOLUNTEER FIRE
 FIGHTING PERIOD
Memories Of Old Niagara Days
 Are Now Recalled

Alterations at No. 2 Fire station now in progress brought to light this week on old hat device that once des- ignated Niagara Hose Company No. and revived some pleasant memories of the old New Britain Volunteer fire department It was dust covered, but when that was removed it revealed some of the gaudy color that ap- pealed to the fire fighters of old.
 During the first year of New Brit aims history as a city New Britain's fire protection was obtained through the volunteer organization. Composed as it was of 145 members the fire de- partment was really more of a social organization. The volunteer depart ment was organized, as far as can be recalled by some of the older resi- dents, previous to the Civil war. A few of the veterans of the old volun- teer organization are Michael Me- Mahon and William HorsfalI. The former is perhaps the only living member of the old Niagara Hose company. MT. Horsfall was a mem- Der of Niagara Engine company.
 It was common practice in the early days of the fire companies to have such picturesque names as the Aetna, the Niagara and other signi- ticant names, such as the Alerts, the Phoenix and the like.
 Dress parades and tournaments were the big events in the volunteer firemans life. Inventories of com panies in the early days would reveal that if legend did not. For instance Niagara Hose No. 1 listed among it's equipment 25 fire shirts, 25 belts,. 25 old fire hats, etc. Niagara Hose No. 1 was a prosperous organization as it listed in it's inventory one coal stove and it was the only company in the departm so fortunate as late as 1870. It also had an oil can and one axe and saw.
 For business purposes it had 400 feet of good" fire hose and 300 feet

WILSON INTERESTED
 IN STACKER RAIDS
Asks Attorney General to Inquire Into and Report On New York
 Roundup,

Washington, Sept. 6.-President Quiry into the circumstances surround ing the stacker raids in New York city and the wholesale arrests made in con- nection with the dragnet tactics of the department of justice and government agents.
 Stirred by complaints from many sources, some of them from senators, the president sent a letter to Attorney General Gregory which he asked the latter to submit to him at once all the facts in connection with the raids and the reasons impelling the instigation of such procedure as the wholesale ar rest and detention of citizens.
 Not since the war began has any act of the authorities in connection thera with provoked such violent reaction as was seen hefe in many quarters. Not alone in the senate, where the storm broke immediately upon the as sembling of the senators but in off, cial quarters generally the action of the authorities in New York was criti- cized even to the point of denuncia- tiOn That a blunder had been made, which was to say the least unfOrtlIn- ate at this time seemed to be the gen eral conviction. The question at once heard everywhere was, ''WhQ was re- sponsible?"
 Apparently the president had no pre- viOus knowledge that any such tactics had been planned by any of his exeCu- tive officers. His action in requesting the attOrney-general to submit to him the facts at once is taken to mean that there will be no more raids of this wholesale description for the time be ing, or at least until the attorney gen eral shall have convinced the preSi- dent that such tactics were justified. It is the general impression here that if the facts are as repOrte& In the newspapers tho president will not give his approval to any resumption of the raids.

Giving LudendOrff No Rest.


 The addition by the Allies every two or three days of five ten or dozen miles to the active battle front ap pears to indicate that Marshal Foch S plans are steadily developing to ma turity. While no one not in the con- fdence of the Allied generalissimO or without the gift of infalible prophecy may say absolutely what those plans are, new developments daily suggest that the extension of the battle front is to force Ludendorff to throw in his reserve, to permit him to have no quiet sectors which he can denude of men in order to strengthen menaced sectors and build up and maintain an army of maneuver with which to launch a counter offensive. The draw ing into the great battle successively of new sectors with continuous pressure there and everywhere enforces upon the German command a wide distribu- tion of it's forces and effectively pre- vents the shifting of them from one to another Thus in large measure, if not wholly, the Germans are deprived of that advantage that heretofore has been with them continuously, of op- erating from interior lines. Foch is keeping active an extended front and maintaining continuous pressure upon the whole of it, is forcing the German command to keep engaged in most Or all of what would otherwise be it's re- serves, and so mauling and smashing the enemy armies that there is no op- pOrtunity for reorganization and no effective nucleus about which an army for striking purposes can be organized.

The Corporal knows what he is talking about in that re- spect, but we suspect that he is not as we'll informed about the effect a half a century of fashion for athletics, for outdoor life has had on older men since he was soldier. Said the Cor poral in the Man Power bill debate: ITO send a lot of these superannuated men, as call men over 30, to Europe and put them in the fighting line would be simply to have that many to carry back in the course of a year, SupCrannuated at thirty :?
