Y.M. CA. NEEDS
OVERSEE WORKERS

A W. Honeycutt state recruiting
secretary for Y. NJ c. A. war work.
is IN receipt of an urgent appeal for
specially qualified volunteers from w.
W. Alexander, general personnel sec
rotary for the southeastern district.
Mr.. Alexander, who has just re-
turned from New York, where he con-
ferred with the war personnel board,
says:
There should be no slowing UP on
recruiting. The peace talk is only
talk and affects in no way the need
of men. Should peace come in the
immediate future, it would require
from one to two years for our SOL
diers to be brought back from over
seas. We must continue the work
we are now doing until the boys come
home.
In view of the fast that we VIII
put large number of women in our
camps within the coming weeks, it
is not desirable that we recruit men
who can be only assistant secretaries.
We will need a number of first class
accountants and bookkeeperS, and a
few stenographerS. The other men
should be able to be religious direc-
tors. physical directors, educational
directors, building secretaries, that is,
men Of tact and culture who have
had experience in handling men, who
will be able to take charge of our
buildings and successfully handle the
staff. We viii need social directors,
men who have musical or dramatic
ability, who can organize such activi-
ties among the soldiers. The color
less young men who sell stamps and
hand out writing paper can no long
err be used.
The time has come when men will
have to be drafted for our work. The
men we need most will perhaps not
volunteer. The soldiers must be
served till the boys come home We
have before us yet long way to go.
I believe Florida will respond nobly
as she has been doing in the past.
J. H. Sheriff., who is in charge of
local recruiting, states that there is
great need in 'Y'' work overseas
for men possessed of the proper
qualifications ond that he is very de-
sirous of communicating with men
out of the draft classiffcatoinS who
are interested in this necessary and
helpful service.

VICTIM OF HIS OWN JOKE
Senator Had Not Intended Joeose Re-
mark to Be Taken as Seriously
as II Was.

An official Of the house Of repre-
sentatives met a distinguished United
States senator in the halls Of the cap
itol. They were old friends, and both
were born in Kentucky. 1t was at
time when there was not much stirring
about the big Building. and the two sat
down to talk. The conversation turned
on what the doctors Of America were
doing, and discussion of specialists.
The official suggested that he had a
relative who was distinguished alien

There would seem to be a good field
for work along his line right here in

senate whom he might examine"

very shortly" returned the official. In
all innocence, "and want him to meet
you"
II was not until several seconds later
when the senator laughed that the Of
fetal realized that an explanation was

BIG HERDS Gone
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock Raisers Cooperate
With Food administration In Con-
sefyatlon Measures.

1t is probable that Europe FIR many
years after the war will look to q
great extent to America for It's meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
Of cattle were appropriated. This adj
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres OF
grass lands have by compulsory meas
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England, as follows: For September.
S17.76 per hundred pounds; October.
SIPS; November and December,
S16.0S, and for january, S1440 The
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According TO official French figures,
the cattle of France have decreased to
a total Of 1924, 800 as compared with
IA, S07, 900 in 1913. Today, Due to lack
Of forage principally, France is pro-
ducing only one gallon of milk where
before tie war two and one-haIf gal
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-
ministration has taken steps to con-
serve our focks and herds and to in
crease their numbers. The stock breed
ers of this country show a disposition
TO cooperate with the government In
this.
For many years it has been a prac-
dee among many of the dairy people
Of this country to kill male calves at
birth and in many Instances the fe-
males if not needed 10 replenish their
herds rather than go to the expense of
maturing them into veal. The high
prices of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance of this killing. Another
encouraging fact is rs per cent Of
calves killed for veal this year were
males.
Somebody has very aptIy said that
he wars of the world have been won
with grease, meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential TO success
in war as powder, which is true.
The hogs of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.
This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes doubly es-
sential an increased pork production
in this nation. In Italy grain is now
forbidden to be fed TO hogs. In Den
mark under a recent order one-fourth
of the hogs were ordered TO be killed.
1t is estimated that one-half have now
been killed

AGRICULTURAL ANT OF TEXAS
Creatures Are Regular Farmers and
Their Homes Are Maryels OF
Skill and Strength.

Texas has many varieties of the ant
family. Out on the "LlanO Estacado,"
or Staked Plain, they are so numerous
that their hills look like the pillows
Of rolling sea.
One of the most powerful and for
midabIe insects in the Southwest is the
agricultural ant of Texas, observes a
naturalist. These busy creatures are
regular farmers, and their homes are
marvels of architectural skill and
strength.
Think of house from u to 10 feet
high. built by little ant, and which
is so strong and well supported that
cattle and buffaloeS can walk over it
and yet not crush in this wonderful
dome.
1t is said that if a horse, in pro-
portion to his size, could leap as far
as a flea, that in one jump he would
go clear around the world. Now, if
man constructed house according
TO the same proportions of an ants
domicils, it would be more than mile
high.
These agricultural ants, next to q
bee, are the most industrious crea-
lures on earth. TAey sow, reap and
garner just like farmers, and during
the warm season lay by sufficient store
for winters use.

OPERATED BY "HAY-BURNERS"
Motive Power Of One Of the Civil War
Railroads Was Primitive In
the Extreme.

The history Of railway operation IN
this country offers many curious and
| interesting details. Among them none
are stranger than those that concern
| the Memphis, Ell Paso & Pacific rail-
road, 40-mile line operated between
| Marshall, Tex, and Shreveport, La,
during the Civil war.
The owner was John Higgtnson. He
had many titles: chairman of the
board, president, vice president, SUI
perintendent, -trainmaster, roadmaster,
freight and passenger agent, fireman.
conductor and master mechanic. The
motive power was of the best in those
days, and consisted of several yoke Of
oxen, commonly known as Hhay-burn-
ers." The oxen were, IL Is said, gen.
orally on time.
Mr.. Higginson ran his train on tn
weekly schedule. When he had gath
cred up a cargo" and everything was
ready for the trip he loaded the oxen
into the first box car in the train. In
the next car he had put the freight and
the passengers, and in the third he
himself rode. The cars started down
the steep grade out of Marshall and,
after they had rolled as far as they
would Mr.. Higginson set the brakes
and proceeded to unload the oxen and
hitch them to the coupling Of the car.
Then he released the brakes and start
ed the train up the grade. At the top
the oxen were again loaded into their
car and another start was made down.
hill. By repeating this operation sew
eral times Mr.. Higginson and his train
would finally reach Shreveport.
The passenger rate was 25 cents q
person. Freight charges were any
thing the owner of the line could get.
Since there was no competition, Mr..
Higginson made money. All freight
was marked "red ball" and handled
as soon as received.
This, however, was not the first
"hay-burning" railway in the United
States. Most of the early lines made
use of animals. The Baltimore & Ohio
at one time employed horses to haul
freight and passenger trains over the
first 10 miles of track constructed

That the great Lord Nelson urged

rhe Opium Habit.

There are three different forms Of
taking opium. Some people, for exam
pie the Turks, eat it; others, like the
Chinese, smoke it. while the inhabi-
tants Of more civilized countries usual
ly drink It as laudanum. The drug is
obtained from the unripe fruit of the
common white poppy. Incisions are
made in the h IDS of the plant, from
which a creamy juice e1udes, harden
ing on Its exposure to the air. This is
scraped of and made up into small
cakes, In which form 1t is sold. The
confirmed opium eater or smoker re-
duces himself to an indescribably
wretched state of mind and body, and
very seldom lives to be forty If the
practice has been acquired at an early
period In life.
