Secretary of War Baker today, on
Americas second anniversary as a
party to the world conflict, paid a
high tribute to the spirit and sup
port Of the nation to insure justice
as q new basis of international re-
Iations.
General March added a promise
that men would be returned home
with greater speed than they were
rushed over.
"Two years ago today America
entered the world war and Joined
forces with the brave peoples who
had for nearly three years resisted
the armed tide of autocracy," Gee
retary Baker stated.
Future To Be Better.
America modified to its remotest
hamlet, and the affection and sup
port of our people surged around the
great army which we summoned,
trained, and dispatched to Europe as
the representative of American
strength and ideals. We find the
armed resistance of our adYersaries
broken. The future will be better
for men and women everywhere, if
the high spirit which achieved this
victory uses its fruits for the pro-
lection of peace and the encourage
ment Of justice among men as the
basis Of all International relations"
General March, looking back into
the stormy period of year ago. said:
"One year ago we were starting a
tremendous. drive to get troops to
France. When ] took charge OF the
office OF Chief of STAFF on March 4
OF last year ! found that February
rad touched bottom in the number of
troops shipped abroad, only $1,000
having sailed. On last April the
flood OF men across the seas had
definitely begun increasing in volume
until we reached our maximum OF
900 900 men in one month.

Now on our second anniversary the
great problem confronting US is to
get our men back to their homes from
across the seas. ] have set as a
mark to be reached $4,000 men in
one month. Demobilization has been
speeded up at home. One camp has
established a record Of demobolizing
over 1000 men in one day, and we

bed, Detective Morgan pulled out a
package containing the balance OF

All of the jewelry, and a breast
pin, which had not been reported as

Meanwhile tobacco growers are re-
ported to be planting greatly increased
acreage in Kentucky. Those in the
central part of the state, Commission
er Cohen declared, "are tobacco crazy"
He said some farmers had rented land
at $500 an acre to grow tobacco. with
the cost of production now $3.50 an
acre." he continued, "as compared with
$50 to $50 few years ago, this would
make the initial cost $3.50 an acre be-
fore furrow is turned. Growers cam
not hope to profit with tobacco at 20
cents pound, which we fully expect,
and the production 800 pounds an
acre."
On the other hand the university bull
letin expresses the belief that taking
into consideration the abnormal con-
ditions in the tobacco market, the out
look for next years crop appears very
favorable.

CURIOUS IDEAS ABOUT GOLF
Some of Them, That Have Been Pre-

Devotees of the Game.

Twenty years ago the majority Of
women knew nothing about golf, and
many good anecdotes are still told Of
some of the curious ideas they had
regarding the game. One lady, max
ing sympathetic conversation at din
her, said to an enthusiastic golfer:
II often see you in your red coat.
Do you need many dogs to play golf?"
A younger lady said she knew ex-
actly how the game was played.
"They get what they call caddies
to hunt about in the grass till they
find a round stone, and then they
hit it into a rabbit hole"
A third lady, who had evidently en-
joyed nearer view Of the game, said:

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Ritro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
TO Increase strength, VigoF
ard Nerve Forces

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fleshy, developing arms neck
and bust and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenIy 1eeI their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency SO well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro- phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. BY feeding the nerves dlrectly ana
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro- phoS-
phate quickly produces welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing,
This increase in weight also carries with
1t q general Improvement In the healtn:
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack OF
energy which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear, qun
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sIeepIessness and general weakness, 1t
should not owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.

GREAT LAKES
LEADS THEM ALL

Washington.-Nine and three-tenths
miles of clean-cut cargo ships. That
is the latest official report on the con-
tribution of the Great Lakes district
yards to the American merchant ma
rine. Held by canal restrictions to a
lighter type of vessel than that made
on the coasts, the district did not pro-
duce SO many net tons as certain other
sections. But it built more ships than
any other district in the United
States.
On September 1, 1917, the Great
Lakes started to build for the govern
ment. The first ship turned over to
the United States shipping board
came from q Great Lakes yard. She
was the Limoges, a 2,930-ton cargo
carrier, under construction for French
operators by the Toledo Shipbuilding
company. On August "a, 1917, the
Ninth district was created. 1t turned
the Limoges over. to the shipping
board on August 80.
They had not permitted the grass
to grow under their feet for some de-
'cades in that region of busy commerce.
Now they saw to it that the ice did
not grow under their ships. To beat
not only the Hun but also the winter
season was the first big task which
the Ninth district faced. By almost
superhuman effort the yards finished
81 vessels and got them to sea before
the canals froze in 1917.
When navigation opened In 1918
another fleet of 20 ships slipped newly
built from the yards and went through
the canals to the sea. From that date
the Great Lakes production rose
steadily until month after month the
district turned out half the steel ships
built in the United States, and some
times more than half. Efficiency and
energy combined in a veritable cru
Sade OF endeavOr, and in November,
1918, the district touched the high
point of it's capacity. In that one
month it built fleet of IS ships
nearly a ship day.
This astounding output brought the
total for the year up to 1853 cargo YES
sells, one of them wood and the rest
steel. In II months the Ninth dis
trict had produced just 125 more
ships than all the American yards de.
livered in the year before America
went to war.
Any narrative of the Great Lakes
work is a progress from one shining
triumph OF this sort to another.
Another yard built 3,5OO-ton ship

LOOT NO MAIL FOR MONTHS

Bunch to Army Officer in
France.

Junction City, Kan.-The army pos
tai service in France works some
queer tricks.
One commissioned officer who went
across from Camp Funston last sum-
mer received no mail at all until after
the armistice was signed.
Then the accumulated mail was de-
livered to him in one bunch-53 let
tiers and more than 100 pounds of
newspapers, books and magazines.
Even caplegrams had not reached him
previously.
During this long mailless period he
wrote unanimously, but for more
than a month no letters have come
from him, it apparently being the turn
of his correspondents not to receive
mail.
