GIRLS Division Notes.


Four ladies from the Home for the
Aged on High street are now working
on the garments for the Children OF
the Frontier" which the Girls Divt-
sion has taken for the summer. They.
are: Mrs. NJ. Taylor, Miss Sibbie Will
lis, Miss Hannah Eskesen, and Mrs.
Emmons. Miss Hazel Magesen, who
assists the matron there is also sew
ing. There ave been several sew
ing parties at the club rooms during
the week, including one by the Girls
Club, and one by Girl Scout Troop
No. 2, which have pushed the work
quite promisingly.
The housing canvas which was UNI
dertaken by the Girls Club and it's
units is to close the first of August.
1t is desired. that all those who have
been helping in this work hand in
their reports as soon as possible be-
tween now and that time to the office
of the Girls Division of the War Camp
Community Service. The Girls Club
feels that it can take a just pride in
having rendered this service to the
city through the Board Of Trade If
the work can be finished up in good
shape and on schedule time.
xA request has come through Miss
Helen Beohtel of the Woman's Motor
Corps, also a member of the Girls
Club, for copies of Life and Judge,
old or new, and current numbers of
any other magazines, for the boys at
Colonia Hospital. Any request from
Colonia certainly should meet with
a ready response. The magazines can
be left at the Girls Division rooms,
101 Smith st. Room 2, where they will
be called for by a member of the
Motor Corps.

ARIZONA DEMOCRATS ALL
FOR LEAGUE Of NATIONS
State Party Council Unani-
ously Approves Pro
posed Covenant

Washington, D. C.-Resolutions
approving a league of nations and
urging it's ratification by the United
States Senate were adopted by more
than 800 Democrats assembled in a
party council in Phoenix, Ariz. At
the gathering were represented all
the different wings of the party, but
the resolution in behalf of league
of nations was adopted unanimously.
The resolution expressed the view
of the party council that the presi-
dents plan was worthy of approval
by every democrat in the state and
of support by Arizona's representa-
tives in congress. The course OF
senators who have been opposed to
covenants of the league thus far was
condemned as an attempt to undo
the victory won at Chateau-Thierry
and St. Mihiel."

HELPING SELL PRODUCTS

How to obtain fair price for the
products they have to sell is always
a live problem with farm women.
Realizing it's Importance, the home
demonstration agent places it near
the top in the budget of conditions
she hopes to remedy. Many differ
ent ways to accomplish the same end
are being used. In Cheshire County,
New Hampshire, the home demon
stration agent is working with the
country women's organizations to
provide a market for all canned foods
eggs, butter, and cottage cheese.
Three big reasons for lack of market
ing success in the past have been
that the farmers wives did not know
where to sell, they needed salesman
ship knowledge, and they tried to sell
products which were not standard
lied. The home-demonstration agent
shows the farm women how to bring
her products up to the accepted stan
dards and help her to find a market
for the surplus.

Eckles, of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture, that no table
used for estimating the capacity of
silos and the weight of silage at the
time of filling is adapted for estimat-
ing the weight of settled silage. The
weight per cubic foot at the time of
filling varies widely with the depth
of silo, the percentage of moisture in
the silage, the proportion of grain,
the thoroughness of packing, the rate
of filling, and the diameter of the
silo. G account of the many COM
plications influencing the weight of
silage it is impossible to give any es-
innate of the weight that is more
than an approximation. Whenever
possible the weight of silage bought
or sold should be actually determined
rather than estimated A more ac-
curate table for estimating the weight
of silage with directions for correct
ing for conditions is published by the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station, in a circular called "Esti-
mating the Capacity of Silos and the
Weight of Silage," which will be sent
free on request.

COAL RICH IN OIL

For many years Ignite mined near
lone, Cal, has been used as a fuel,
though it contains large quantity of
moisture and therefore does not burn
very we'll. Recently, however, on ac-
count of it's resemblance to some oil
shales that are apparently similar to
camel Goals, this Ignite has been
tested by the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior,
to determine whether it would not
yield oil on destructive distillation.
The results of the tests show that
the best of the Ignite, when destruc-
lively distilled, will yield 62 gallons
of oil to the ton and, as a by-prod-
uct, at least 18 pounds of ammonium
sulphate, which is a valuable fertiliz-
er. This Ignite is remarkably "fat."
Although it contains 46 per cent of
moisture, analysis made by the Bu-
reau of Mines shows that it contains
also 81 per cent of volatile matter
and 16 per cent of fixed carbon The
ash amounts to only 7 per cent, and
the heating value is 5000 British
thermal units.
Although the bed containing this
Ignite does not appear to underlie a
large territory, it is doubtless des--
tined to receive attention sooner or
later as possible source of oil and
gasoline.

The Ground Water
Resources of u. S.

The United States Geological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior, has
just issued photography and index
of it's publications on ground water
and related subjects, such as wind
mills, pumps, and other lifting de-
vices, methods of water analysis, and
methods Of measuring the flow Of
water.
The Geological Surveys hydrologic
Investigations include work on both
surface and ground water, but this
photography, as it's title indicates,
covers only the surveys reports on
ground water. The photography lists
more than 900 papers, of which more
than 800 relate primarily to the sub
ject of ground water. 1t contains
brief abstracts of most of the reports
listed. A detailed index of over 100
pages constitutes the larger part Of
the pamphlet, which contains also a
map Of the United States showing the
area covered by each report.
A copy of the photography. which
is published as Water-Supply Paper
APT, may be obtained on application
to the Director of the Geological Sur
vey, Washington, D. G..

STORY OF LAND SCULPTURE

The report contains brief but
clearly written story of the origin Of
the physical features of this attract
i've mountain region. 1t tells why
the valleys are open parks here and
CONSTRUCTED canyons there; it explains
the forms of the drainageways; it
tells why the streams are at some
places gentle brooks, meandering,
willow-lined, through flower-dotted
meadows and are at others wild rap
ids dashing along over boulder beds
or through narrow canyons 1t ex-
plains the great terraces that extend
like railroad embankments along
some of the valleys and the curved
and hummocky ridges that cross
them.
This brief paper will also be OF
value to teachers of geology who
want a short summary of the glacial
history of the upper Rio Grande
basin, and it will be of interest to
summer tourists who desire to gain
some understanding of the orieln OF
the things they see.
The report can be obtained from

On Estimating the
Weight of .Silage

1t is often necessary to estimate
the capacity of silos or the weight OF
silage under various conditions. Such
estimates are usually made by the
use of tables published by silo manu-
facturers or by experiment stations.
These tables are based on table
published by King in 1893. Even
when the tables are used according
to the directions of the originator the
results are too high, and as they are
generally applied the tonnage is often
estimated 25 per cent above the &C
tual weight of the silage. From
. four-year experiment with 80 silos
it is apparent, according to G. II.

MAILS FROM FRANCE
COME ALMOST DAILY
Soldiers Letters by the Ton
Despatched in Fastest
Vessels

Washington, D. C.-Dispatches of
mail from doughboys in France and
Germany are now coming to this
country at the rate of twenty-five
month-one every day except Sun
day. Included in the hundreds of
tons of postal matter which soldiers
are sending home are all manner of
souvenirs.
German helmets, buttons, frag-
ments of airplanes, revolvers and
bayonets are the most common of
the mementos for the folks at
home" Four or five hundred thou
sand helmets have been forwarded to
this country since the signing of the
armistice.
In the single month of November
1853, 400 letters were dispatched
from Bordeaux, in addition to 2,61S
sacks Of papers, 5,419 sacks of pack
ages and 26,0S9 pieces of registered
mail. The weight of all this matter
was 27S tons.
The post offices at Bordeaux and
Brest have more extensive distrib-
ution service than any other in the
world. = From these points mail is
sent to every state in the Union, and
to every city, town, village and rural
route of each state. The building oc-
cupied by the United States post Of
flee in Bordet x is $50 feet long and
% feet wide. and is provided with
every appliance for the expeditions
handling of mail.
Before leaving Bordeaux and Brest
the mail collected by the army from
$50 military post offices is sorted and
prepared for direct dispatch to the
cities and railway routes in this
country. Letters for given state,
for example, go direct to it's princi-
pal cities without rehandling at New
York. The pouches and sacks are
placed aboard postal cars at New
York and go by fast mail trains from
there to the routes or cities for which
they are labeled
All liners plying between New
York and Bordeaux and Brest, and
| English steamers between New York
and Plymouth, stop at Brest for this
mail to the United States. Every
| piece of mail in Bordeaux and Brest
at the time of ships departure Is
put on board. In dispatching sol
diers mail preference is given to the
faster vessels to insure it's arrival in
this country at the earliest moment.
| Postal officials report that since
the signing of the armistite, and es-
pecially since the beginning OF de-
mobilization, men of the expedition
airy force are showing a greater de-
sire to write back home. One sol
dier is known to have written thirty
letters in single day. Frequently
tyelve to fifteen letters were sent by
each soldier during the months o1
December and January.

Sergt. Floyd Meade Tells
High School Pupils
of Work Done
a
PARADE GIVEN ON
MAIN STREETS
Seventy five per cent Of Men
In This Service on the
Casualty List

Hundreds of Miles City people
braved an unpleasant storm of snow
and wind Monday to watch the
whippet tank in action, and then to
listen to a few short remarks on the
subject of the Liberty loan which
were made by the Rev. Thomas Har-
dier. According to Sergt. Floyd
Meade, who was in charge of the
which might have been exepcted un-
der conditions which were common at
the battlefront in France and the
tank showed it's willingness to sur
mount any and all obstacles just as
though it were driving through
mass of Hun machine gun nests.
Following the exhibition at the
Chautauqua grounds the tank was
driven through the main streets of
Miles City and then gave the pupils
of the Custer County high school
special treat. At the request of
Meade drove the battle-scarred tank
to the school where he "hove it
to-" clambered out and went inside to
tell the students a few facts about
the tanks and their work.
II have been overseas for about
eight MONTHS said Sergeant Meade,
land have trained with the tanks in
both England and France. During
that time I will say that I came to-
know tanks pretty we'll. Their main
duty is to clean up machine gun nests
and obstacles which the artillery
| could not get to and which held up
the advance of the doughboys. M Amy
an infantryman's life has been spared
by the work of these tanks. It is
hard to put concrets pillbox, or a
machine gun nest out of action with
artillery, as a direct hit is hard to
secure and the Hun would merely
duck into his dugout until the bar
and resume his merry work which
spelled death to many an American.
'The small tank, such as we have
demonstrated here to day, was used
largely by the French, who were op-
Grating in rougher ground than that
.ldlehas1lswopd 7s9 7S 789 IL 121
which opposed the English. They
proved remarkably effective and un-
less the Hun secured direct hit
before the tank got started, its speed
made it almost a matter of luck if he
got the tank before it got the ma
chine gun which was checking the
infantry Towards the close of the
war the Germans got out rifle which
fired an explosive bullet which
could and did penetrate the armor.
This put many a man and tank out
of service.
The government figures on the
casualties in the tank service were
that rs per cent of the men and
tanks were put out of commission.
1t was a good service as far as ac-
tion was concerned and more than
paid for itself. We had plenty OF
tanks at concentration centers when
= the armistice was signed and could
9 have soon sent a whole fleet of them
: over every few minutes"
