Return Flag With
Battle Record

When a troop train passed
through Oxford some months ago
a number of school children were
gathered at the station to bid them
god-speed. Among these were
Marcia and Grace Kelly who
thrust into the hands of one OF
the soldiers little silk flag. Oliver
Baldwin of Parkesburg and a
friend, Charles Lawrence, also of
Parkesburg, adopted it as their
talisman. 1t brought them good
luck for although both took part
in the terrible battles in the Ar
gonne at Montraucon, Hill 304,
neither was injured. The flag was
priced highly for few could obtain
one in France at that time.

Pertinent Suggestions

Harry Lauder, the thrifty genius

pertinent suggestions: "VieW the
reckless SPEEDING of money as GRIM
inal, and shun the company of the
reckless spender."" DRESS neatly
but not lavishly; a bank pays
higher interest than your back"
Behave toward your purse as you
would toward your best friend"
Don't throw away the crusts; eat
them; they are as nourishing as
beef" at is more exhilarating to
feel money in your pocket than
beer in your stomach Take your
amusements judiciously, you will
enjoy them better" "a bank book
makes good reading,-better than
some novels"

Provide Dusting Place
For Chickens

Chickens never wash, as many
other birds do, but cleanse them
selves of insects by wallowing in
soil. Where board or cement floors
are used, some means of dusting
should be provided during the win
ter months. For flock of so to
60 fowls a dust box 8 by 5 feet or
a by a feet will be found large
enough in most instances, and
should be placed where it can be
reached by sunlight during as
much of the day as possible. Fine,
light, dry dust is the best, but
sandy loan is good. Road dust is
recommended by many, but it is
apt to be filthy. Coal or wooo
ashes may be mixed with the sol
if desired.

Keep The Hogs
In The "Cooler"

One use for the COOLER" has
passed with the passing of John
Barleycorn but another use is sug-
gested as part of the conservation
plan for keeping hogs cool in order
that they may make economical
gains during the summer months
instead of losing as they ordinar-
lily do in hot weather.
Home demonstration agents of
the United States Department of
Agriculture and the State colleges
have been demonstrating the ice
less refrigerator, and these handy
coolers are becoming very popular.
The swine-extension man in Mis-
sissippi, who is working in CO.
operation with the Federal depart
ment, is planning, to put into prac-
tice the same principle used in the
iceless refrigerator to keep hogs
cool in summer. The iceless re-
! friegerator is made by inclosing q
frame in canton flannel, iburlap, OF
duck. A pan of water is placed or
top and wicks are extended from
the water over the side of the par
mad down the sides of the frame
The evaporation of The moisture
in the wicks keeps the refrigera
tor cool. In applying this principl
in the hog lot a frame will be bull
to provide shade for the hogs ant
large burlap wicks will exten,
down the sides from container
which are placed on top and ar
filled with water. 1t is expecte
that the evaporation of the waite

A BIAS THE POOR HOUSE.
U. s. Governments Thrift Campaign Has Effect of Eliminating
 Aims houses

Poor houses are going out of stylc, it seems from the report Of the super intendent of hospital feF' the poor in Massachusetts.
 Until the past year. the inmates of poor houses had steadily increased from year to year. In almost every case of want among these forlorn old people 1t is ascertained that their present state could have been avsrteI if during their earning ysass they had learned the principle of thrift.
 But for several years, since the ad vsnt of the governments savings plan. there has been less and less demand on public institutions of charity. This can be traced directly to the bensh- cial results of campaign for thrift together with the easy accessibility of government securities bearing splen- did rates of interest. The savings hao- 1t may be acquired with hardly more effort than that of squanderins. If the right incentive Is supplied and an ef- fective means of investment provided. 1t Is proved.

How Spinal
Defects Occur

Many persons have asked how
the vertebra can press the nerves
and shut off the life-giving energy
and cause weakness and disease
in certain parts of the body. The
spine protects the spinal cord
through which energy passes
from the brain to the network of
nerves that supply every part of
the body. The spine is made up of
separate movable parts that are
easily displaced and are sensitive
to every strain and jar.

sary, all types Of trahsit lines.
The necessary legal steps to enable
the city to issue income bonds as a
first lien against the net revenues of
the lines which it may acquire.

Land Army Calls
For Help to Raise
Food for Europe
Governor Smith Urges All
Patriotic Citizens TO Aid
Women in Campaign to
Feed Starving Countries

The first annual convention of the
New York State Women's Land Army,
Inc, will be held on Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week at the Hotel
Astor. The chief problem to be solved
at the convention is now the land
army can best aid in fulfilling the
pledge made by this country to fur
nish twenty million tons of food to the
people in the Allied and liberated ma
tions during the coming year.
In sending out call for the con-
vention the officers point out that, i'm
portant as was the part played by the
organization last year, it is as nothing
compared to the tsk which now con-
fronts the land army and all others
concerned with the food production of
the country. The convention notice
states that the need Of the women
workers is infinitely greater now than
during the war.
The notice of the convention date is
signed by Mrs. Thomas F. Burgess,
president; Mrs Frank A. WANDERING,
first president; Mrs. Florence Fer
guson, second vice-president; Mrs.
Melvin 7. White, treasurer, and Mrs.
Otto r. Eichel, executive director. In
urging wide attendance at the conven-
ton, the meeting notice states that
since the signing of the armistce the
Federal Department of Labor has ap-
proved plan of affiliation with the
Women's Land Army, additional proof
that the government stiU~ believes
there is need for women to continue
at their tasks.
The notice concludes by quoting
from letter recently written by Gov
ernor Smith. 1t is said to be the first
given by the Governor to any organi-
zation or movement since he took Office
The letter follows:
Cali citizens of this state most high
ly appreciate the effective patriotic
worF ; covered ,s by 1,,s your association dur
food supply for our army and its
allies. The work, however, is not fin
ished, and you need and are entitled to
the cooperation Of all our patriotic
citizens to handle the task which has
been set before you. In this | am sure
you will not be disappointed" -"

Witnesses Testify Luechs Re-
fused to Buy War Saw

Fritz A. Z. Luechs, who before he
was drafted into the army was a
teacher in Morris High School, was
placed on trial by the Board of Eduuca-
ton yesterday. Charges Of disloyalty
were made against him by his fellow
teachers and he was suspended early

Reports Out Name
Of Miss Perkins
Opposition to Appointment

missioner Is Predicted;
''Trivial,'' Says Governor
Stdf Corrcspondence

Stdt Corrcspondence
ALBANY, Jan. "a. - The Senate
Finance Committee to-day reported out
the appointments CT Miss Frances Per-
kins, of New York, wife of Paul Will
son, as State Industrial Commissioner;
Lewis Nixon, of Staten Island, as Com
missioner of Public Works, and Charles
r. Rattigan, of Elmira, as State Super
lntendent of Prisons.
1T Is predicted there will be fight
on at least one of the appointments,
that of Miss Perkins, when the nomi-
nations come up Wednesday for con-
trmation by the Senate. There has
been considerable opposition to Miss
Perkins because she succeeds Louis H
Ward, a manufacturer. The basis of
the protests was that Miss Perkins was
not manufacturer and that her ap-
po1ntment would leave the business
men of the state without q representa-
tive on the commission.
Governor Smith said he expected Miss
Perkins would be confirmed by the
Senate. The objections to her, he said,
were too trivial for serious opposition
The Governor left for New York this
afternoon accompanied by his son and
nsmesake, who will be eighteen years
old tomorrow. He will hold another
public audience tomorrow in the Gov
ernor's room at the New York City Hall
On Monday, Alfred Smith, jr, on his
reurn to Albany, will join Company \
of the State Guard.

spcakers-Mss Pauline Goldmark, of
the Wcmen's Service Section, United
States Railroad Administration; Miss
nellie Swartz and Miss Mary Anderson,
of the Washington Bureau of Women in
lndustry-that women, having proved
themselves successful in industry, are
gong to continue an important factor,
and what is now necessary is legisla-
ton to regulate the conditions under
which they must work

time when legislation of this kind
was so much needed as at present.
