desolate people in life once more.
 Even the terrible conditions prevail ing in Russia find the Red Cross un- dfsmayed. The sixth American Red Cross supply train of tweny.six cars, carrying clothing, blankets and medi- cines valued at $3S,O00, is even now moving across Siberia and arrange ments have been made to send large stores of clothing, medical and sur gical supplies and food as rapidly as possible. Twenty-Five hundred tons of supplies have already gone forward and more will follow as soon as they can be moved.
 Out from the reeking filth of prison camps men are struggling back to life. Food, clothing, medical attention and shelter are their crying need. These are furnished by the Red Cross in the form of sanitary trains for stretcher cases, canteens and mobile hospitals.

 In the comparative report by chap ters for 1917 and 1918 Christmas Roll call campaign, which has just been compiled by the northwestern divi- sion, Cordova had a decrease of 610. The membership for 1917 was 400; for 1918 was 79O.

 Over 100000 pounds of used cloth ing, in 2,10O bales, were started to Europe April 2, as the first shipment of over ten thousand tons of clothing collected by the Red Cross on it's re- cent countrywide drive. Two thou sand additional bales lie at the docks awaiting transportation.
 Two shipments will be sent out each week until the total of we'll over 10000 tons has been shipped. Clothing is sorted, packed and baled for ship ment in 15O pound bales. Fifty work CTS at the Brooklyn warehouse, where these garments are handled, keep them pouring through a funnel into the assortment chamber, where they are divided, made into bundles and enclosed in burlap. The electric press turns out a bale every five minutes
 The Cordova chapter did not re- spond to this call.

 Parisians are rubbing their eyes to make sure that the big hotel recently built by the salyxge section Of the American Red Cross for visiting doughboys is an honest and truly reality Although it can house 1,200 and 1,6OO enlisted men, only eight days were required to plant it on the Champs de Mars. This speed stunned the natives. They are shrugging their shoulders out of place in an effort to understand it. Many of them now re- fer to the Americans as magicians. A California man, Captain c. Ross Corbin, was in charge of the job.

 During chaotic days in Siberia, prior to the arrival of the allied forces and the Red Cross,- railway coaches were stripped of the plush linen on the chairs and this was used to orna- ment women's dresses. Peasant women today may be seen in plush adorned dresses, and the color of the plush tells whether it came from a first-class, second-clas or third-class coach.

 Writing to Henry P. Davison on the plan of the Cannes conference for a world-congress on Red Cross work following the conclusion of peace, Baron Sonnino, the Italian minister of foreign affairs, says:
 ''The work of the Red Cross has been so beneficial for suffering human ity in general that I am sure of the success of your plan of action. There is hardly any need for me to express my best wishes for the happy out come of the project"

 The American Red Cross commis- sion to the Balkans is taking care of wounded Czecho-Slovak soldiers who are being sent home by way of Trieste, the Jugoslav port on the Adriatic sea.
 The work is being done at the re- quest of the government at Prague which has asked the Red Cross to pro vide transportation, doctors and nurses for the sick and wounded. The first convoy handled came from Co., lombo, Ceylon, and was made up of 5OS wounded.
 Needs of Refugees Met Promptly
 Immediate needs are pressing through all the foreign countries and the Red Cross is meeting them with unfailing promptness. Nine hospitals with total staff of fifty Red Cross nurses have been established in northern Siebria. Twelve hundred convaIescent and young children are being fed daily in the Armenian re- fuge at Port Said from recently es- tablished diet kitchens and employ ment is being found for those who are ableto work. Huge warehouses have been established in the ravaged re- gions of France, stocked with tons of clothing and household utensils in order that the French government may call upon them for auxiliary sup plies in their efforts to start these

The Art Of Talking.

The art of talking is rare, but II
one has the least spark of talent II
may be improved. Time, thought, and
constant practice are necessary to de-
velop any faculty. We cannot hope
TO learn music, painting, or tennis
without practice, and so 1t is with con-
versation. We cannot expect to talk
well In society II we are dull, silent,
taciturn at home. We must read the
best books to learn the fluent use of
language; we must learn to think and
to remember, to observe carefully (;
we must keep In touch with the events
of the day, not merely within n mar
row circle but in the wide world. Gen,
eral knowledge is necessary. Books
magazines and newspapers are within
the reach of every one. An ideal con-
versatiOnalist Is conscientious lis.
tener, the first TO see merit. the last
to censure faults. A very earnest
talker is not always popular because
of heavlness; to be able to talk about
nothing In way TO make that airy
subject interesting Is talent. Small
talk Is valuable socially.

Latin Words In Use.

Many Latin words crept into our
language through Rome's military con-
quests. For instance, castra was tho
Latin word for camp, becoming ches-
ter In English. So Colchester, Dor
chester, Winchester, and similar names
indicate English cities which were
Onca Roman camps. When the PHI
grims came to America, they gave to
many new settlements the names of
English towns which they still loved.
You will find other equally interesting
words which have come into English
directly from Latin. And even now
you may like to know that there is a
real, though long-drawn-out connection
between our mother tongue and the
Latin language Of the old Rorans.-

HAY CROPS FOR LIVE STOCK
Many Farmers Unmindful Of Neees-
sity OF Providing for Fall and
Winter Feeding.

The high price of rough feed en-
phasizes the necessity of all farmers
planting a sufficient acreage of sum-
mer forage crops to enable them to
provide themselves with hay and
other roughages for their live stock
during the coming year. With the
abundance of pasture available in the
springtime farmers oftentimes are I'M
mindful Of the necessity of providing
for that period during the fall when
pasture will be dry, or during the win
ter when there will be no feed avail
able.
The county agents should be con-
suited with reference TO the available
ity of seed. Where outside purchases
have to be made the order should be
placed at once. so that the seed may
be on hand to SOW when the soil is in
good condition and the season Is not
too far advanced.

thing may be combined to make n
salad, yet we would avoid the foods
that do not harmonic rs we avoid
inviting to our tables those we know
are not congenial to our friends.
Carrots, potatoes, turnips and such
vegetables are usually cooked before
using I'm salad, yet most appetlS-
ing dish Is one with fresh grated car
rots mixed in an ordinary vegetable
salad and served with French dress
ing. If our stOmachs are able to dis
pose of the cellulOse in vegetables
which is unCOOked, we need not wor-
nv about uncOOked starch. for that Is
taken care of without trouble, our
dietitians tell us.
Where q salad is to provide the
main dish, food value should be the
first consideration.
The arrangement Of a salad is n
most important feature rs well as
gnrnlture. Who has not refused Il
good and wholesome salad because of
it's unattractive appearance? The per-
lection of combination and flavor
amount to little If the salad has been
carelessly prepared.
When such firm vegetables rs po-
tatoes are used in salad the dish Is
much better seasoned when marinated
for an hour or two with some simple
salad dressing which will penetrate
the food.
Green plants such rs lettuce, cress
and parsley whose charm lies in its
crispness should be kept well chilled
and served at once after the dress
ing has been added.

MANUFACTURERS ESTIMATED PRO-
DUCTION.

AS previously stated, there was esti-
mated to be between As and so firms
or individuals making or attempting
to make tractors in 1909. The office
OF farm management, United States
department Of agriculture, has always
kept In close touch with the tractor in
dustry, and the files show that in 1909
there were 1902 firms actively engaged
In manufacturing tractors and 162
firms and individuals planning to be-
gin In the near future.
Character Of Tractor CHANGED.
In the beginning the tractor was con.
structed to simulate the steam engine
in appearance. AS time passed and
prejudice disappeared many refine
ments took place until today it is a
compact, well-built machine capable
Of performing a multitude Of opera
lions. The first machines were heavy,
rough affairs, capable Of pulling eight,
ten, or more bottoms. 1t was soon rec
ognized that II the industry were to
prosper a machine would have to be
built which would be practical for or
dinary-siZed farms. The result was
that small machines came on the mar
ket, built to pull two and three plows.
This type Of tractor appealed to the
small farmer.
There are now more two and
three pillow machines built than of all
other sizes combined. There are, how
ever, number of companies still maxi
Ing Il large-size tractor, which is still
used on the big farms of the North
west and the Pacific coast.
How Tractor Was Transformed.
From the rough machines of 1908
and 1909 with single cylinders. chain
drive, cast gears excessive weight ex-
posed working parts, and poor ac-
feasibility have been developed ma
chimes of light weight with inclosed
working parts, friction and various
gear drives, electric fixtures, radiator
cooling systems, cut and hardened
gears, multiple cylinders, air cleaners,
kerosene carburetors, One-man control,
and an easy accessibility-all this at
price Of one-half to onR-fourth of the
early machines.
Owing to varying conditions, there
are two types of machine on the mar
ket at present-the crawler and the
wheeled type. The purpose of the
crawler is TO prevent mirlng down on
soft ground. The same principle was
employed by tanks In the late war.
The wheeled tractors are more numer-
Gus and employ various devices to
obtain traction. such as Tugs, grouters,
spikes, Cleats and extension rims.
Again, some wheels have device CIV
ing q stepping arrangement, as in the
PIT wheel, which was developed by
two Italian army engineers. A few
tractors employ both the crawler and
wheel.
AS yet the tractor industry Is com.
paratively young, and what Its ulti.
mate effect on farming will be 1t is i'm
possible to say. The trend seems to
be toward motorized farms and the
elimination of horse power. This II
best shown by the fact that motor
trucks are being purchased by farm.
ers in ever-increasing numbers and
that the motorized corn cultivator Is
coming into use In increasing num-
bers.
There are two important problems
the solution of which would no doubt
help the tractor Industry to a great
extent. These are the standardlza-
ton of parts and uniform method Of
rating. Manufacturers have not over
