FIT. ETHAN ALLEN
To be Permanent and Up-to-Date
and the Equal of Any Post in
Country

Fort Ethan Allen is not only to be
a permanent military post, but it is
to be one of the most up-to-date mill
tary posts in the country. A short
time ago, Lieut.. w. d. Young, post
quartermaster, received a message
from headquarters saying "Make
your. post equal to any post in the
country in the vicinity of city of
$4,000 population" These orders
are now being carried out under ex-
pert supervision, and Fort Ethan AL
len is rapidly taking on a much inn
proved appearance
Among the more important i'm
provements which are now being
made, or which will soon be started
at the fort, are the putting in of
5000 square yards or more of rein
forced concrete road extending for
more than rsile and covering the
entire front of the post; rebuilding
the macadamizG roads within the
post; painting both the interior and
exterior of every building on the post
same; building new reinforced con-
crete loading platform where the old
wooden platform now stands; put
ting the rifle ranges and the fire APP
paratus into first-class shape, and
building cemetery.
Lieutenant Young has received the
assurance of the state engineer that
the State of Vermont will assist in
putting into condition the roads lead
ing up to the post, both from Win
ooski and from Essex Junction, and
it is also understood that the town
of Essex will help in this work, so
that first class roads between Bur-
T lington and Essex junction will be
the result
Among the repairs now being
made in the buildings are the install
lation OF furnaces, plumbing and
heating apparatus of various kinds,
.plastering, brickwork, cement work,
and everything which will make the
building the most up-to-date pos
sible
The rifle ranges are all being bank
ed up, new numbers put on and
everything in connection with them
put into tip-top condition. Addition
al MIGRANTS for fire protection are be-
ing installed, and an order was plac-
ed recently whereby the present hy-
drants will be fitted out so that the
hose connections of Burlington fire
department will fit them, something
which Las not been taxen care of in
The past.
All entirely new thing at the post
is the cemetery. There has been nc
cemetery in the past This one is
being prepared on plot OF ground,
400 by $50, at the end of the Post
nearest Burlington, on the tight side
of the road, going toward Essex
Driveways and walks are being laid
out, so that the cemetery will be an
artistic feature of the grounds. It
is expected that this work will be
completed about the middle of May
as will the rifle range.
At the Post at present ar, II new
Hurlburt trucks which have just been
added to the equipment and which
will be used in the work of rebuild
ing, being driven by men from the
motor transport division now station
ed at the Post. Three more ma-
chimes are soon to arrive for the use
of the officers.
There are now 100 civilians en-
ployed at the Post in connection with
this work, and the average weekly
pay roll is around $4,000. From 70

to prevent souring close to the bone
unless the curing solution is allowed
to come in contact with this part.
Most people would prefer to leave
the bone in the piece and not open it.
This can be done by injecting a sol
ution of weak brine and saltpeter
with hypodermic syringe deep into
the piece around the bone. A spec
tally strong needle will be necessary
to do this. These needles are made

DRY CURING MEAT

Hog killing time is with us again,
and the same old problems of curing
the meat are to be confronted. Prof.
A. p. Spencer, of the Extension Di-
vision of the College of Agriculture,
says if Florida farmers will follow
few general rules and precautions
in curing their meat, they will have
no trouble in keeping it.
Some prefer the brine cured hams,
while others like the dry-cured best.
That is matter of taste, and the
following method of dry-curing has
been found to be satisfactory.
After the meat has been thoroly
cooled and all the animal heat gone.
place each piece on a clean bleached
muslin or flour sack, covering the
cloth with newspapers. Place the
ham or shoulder, skin down, on top
of the newspapers and apply the
following:
To large 15-pound ham, take one
teacup of granulated sugar, 2 tea
spoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of black
pepper, one tablespoon cayenne pep
per place all in a vessel and mix
thoroly. Rub this into the meat
thoroly until every part of the meat
will have absorbed all it will. 1t is
necessary to do this very thoroly.
After the application, fold the cloth
entirely over the meat, being careful
that every piece is well covered.
Then hang the meat up in a cool
place.
The advantage of this system is
that it holds, to larger extent, the
original flavor. This method should
not be undertaken, however, unless
the weather is cool. When handling

THE CANE BoRER
How to Keep Him Out of the Cane
Field

The most destructive insect in
Florida cane fields is the borer, ac-
cording to ]. r. Watson, enomologist
at the Experiment Station. This is
more or less widely distributed thru
out the state from Gainesville and
Sanford south. However, it does
not occur in all localities within this
area even where cane has been raised
a long while.
In planting out new fields of cane
it is important to see that borers are
not taken along with the seed canes,
and especially important when one is
introducing cane into a region where
it has not been raised before.
The moths that lay the eggs for
the cane borer are not vigorous filters
and the cane borer is chiefly distrib-
uted by being carried from one place
to another in the seed cane. A little
precaution at the time of planting
will often save thousands of dollars
later on.
In planting a new region, one
should be very Careful 10 see tnat
the cane used FOR seed cane comes
from section where the borer does
not exist, or cane that is to be ship
ped into a territory which is not in
Tested should be soaked previous to
shipment for at least one hour in
Bordeaux mixture, or one part of nj
cotine sulphate to 500 parts of water.
In regions whore the borer has al
ready been introduced the following
recommendation are made by the .,
S. Bureau of Entomology:
Scraps of cane should be burned or
otherwise destroyed at the grinding
season. Seed cane should be planted
in the fall and buried as deeply as
practicable. The cane Should be kept
covered with several inches of soil as
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1919-12-18

even one-half inch of compact soil
is sufficient to keep the moths from
emerging. With loose sandy soil the
depth should be greater. If the
canes are uncovered by rain they
should at once be recovered.
Trash, leaves or shucks left in the
field after cutting should not be
burned, but should be lightly cover
ed with earth in the fall and plowed
out in the spring. Cutting out dead
hearts or dead canes during the grow
ing season and destroying them will
help to keep down the infestation,
but Ia expensive.

pieces can be prevented from sour
ing even If the weather is warm as
the salt solution can be inserted
near the bone.

as an average American doughboy,
from the time he enters the rookie"
squad until, as a finished product of
military training, he invades Hun
land and captures the Imperial Ger
man Staff with method typicaily
Yankee for novelty and surprise.
His feet get him into countless
troubles under the unsympathetic
eye of his drill sergeant, and even
after his advent into the front line
trenches he finds new complexities
in the management of rifle and
bayonet. Following numerous ex-
periences in his dugout he volun-
teers for a special spying mission.
Camouflaged as a tree. he invades
enemy territory. A Hun wood
chopping party attempts to add him,
disguised as tree stump. to its col
lection, with disastrous results.
Charlie is finally captured in a
shell-torn French house. He makes
his escape by turning the tables on
the Germans, and, accompanied by
the French girl who befriends him
he seeks refuge IN what proves tc
be the headquarters of the General
Staff. The Kaiser, Crown Prince
and Won Hindenburg surprise him
in an attack on German officer
but Charlie saves the day for him
self and the girl by wearing the UNI
form of his unconscious victim.
He rescues his drill sergeant. also
captured by Huns, and together they
conspire to escape. Their plan
brings complete confusion to head
quarters. and shakes the German
army to its foundation.

COURT OvERRULES BURLESON.

Postmaster General Burleson are

Judge Kunkle. of Harrisburg. who

neither the President nor the Post
master General was acting offici-
ally in changing the rates and tolls.
And they acted beyond the scope Of
their powers" Though he does not
deny the right of the President to
operate the telegraph for war pur-
poses. Judge Kunkel says: When
the President attempts to use the
defendants lines and 1t does not ap-
pear that it is for war purposes,
but on the contrary appears to be

This raised by taxes on the people,
would be applied to the payment of

A cumulative sinking fund provi-
sion of 2.32 per cent recommended
by Secretary Glass, would suffice for
the redemption of all the bonds in

SIX MONTHS TO PAY.

The Victory Liberty Loan is here.
1t is the best bargain Of all OF Am
ericas stupendous war security is
sues. That financiers and econo-
mists agree upon. 1t is also the last
of the Liberty Loans.
The loan is for $4,000, 100000
supported by notes carrying 4 "a
percent interest and liberal tax ex-
emption features. These are con-
vertable into notes bearing ga
per cent interest virtually free OF
taxation. The first will be more
valuable to the poor man. The rich
man will buy the second. Both SER
les mature in 1923 but the Govern
ment has the privilege OF calling
them in, in 1922. The early matur-
ity of these notes makes them
priced investment.
In order to get wide distribution
of the Victory Loan among the rank
and file of Americans-in order to
get these notes into the humblest
homes of America, the Government
will sell them on time. The man
who buys Victory Note will have
six months to pay for it. In other
words the Government does not
want the banks to take the Loan
even II the banks could.
Six months to pay! Think of the
years these boys of ours who have
come back without legs or arms or
eyes. are going to pay. Is there a
man among us who calls himself an
American who cannot take his share
Of this Loan under these terms?
Can that man face these armless and
legless fellows and tell them why he
Is not taking his share?
If the war has done one thing for
this community it has made it Am
erican, heart and soul. 1t is going
to stay American.
The test of that Americanism is
it's record in the Victory Loan.
Men and Women! This is the
last Liberty Loan. Let's stand
: shoulder to shoulder-Amerlcans all
and finish this war job that those
who died shall have died not in
vain.
