Ninth District Short

Splendid service has already been
rendered and we will try not to ask
you for needless effort. In justice to
our Government and ourselves, how
ever, we must call your attention to
the actual situation in the Ninth
District
To date only So counties have re-
ported complete subscriptions.
The total amount reported by the
COUNTIES in which the campaign. has
been completed is $6S,95O,O00. These
are the exact figures. We have .
long way to 60.
There are still 235 counties in which
the job is not finished.
The banks have only reported up to
noon Of the 3Oth $4,000, 900, $685.
OOO, 900 short of our allotment.
BY the time you get this letter there
will only be eight days more for tho
solicitation before the need Of the cam
paign. There will not be days exc
tension of the time given. The cam
paign closes May tenth.
We are naturally anxious about the
results If your county has not
reached it's allotmen, will you not give
it one final twist, put behind it your
old time vigor, stir up the county
workers, put the enthusiasm and pun
ch into the final squirt that is me-
cessary.
This is the last campaign. We
know your workers are tired. You
are probably tired yourself. Prior to
last November II, probably every
soldier was tired, but they could not
leave until their job was finished and
they were discharged, and as they
stayed until they completed their task
regardless of their feelings, so must
we.
We realize that the delay in the
farming communities up to the pre-
sent ime is due almost wholly to the
condition of the roads in the Begin
ing Of the campaign and also to the
very late spring and the desire of the
farmers to get their seed in the
ground. Surely it is of vital import
ance to finish seeding. At the same
time it is absolutely necessary that
the bills of the Government be paid
and that the securities be sold.
TO be perfectly frank with you, we
are uneasy. Will you clean up this job
and do it now ?-You will do it.

Captain Evans left here Septem-
ber 29, 1917, at the head Of Company
E. of Williston and after some mon
tbs of training at Camp Green, Char
lotte, N. c., he left for France with
the Company. On reaching France
the Company was split up and most Of
the Williston boys including the Cap
tain transferred to other companies.
During the most of his service i'm
France the Captain was in charge of
company which was used for the,
training of soldiers for the front.
We are glad to see the Captain
back and hope that sometime soon
he will be able to gather together
his original company for a reunions
and general welcome home meeting.

Discharged Soldiers Show
Interest In Farms

At Camps Upton, N. Y; Dix, N.
j.; Custer, Mich; Gordon, Ca;
Lee, Va; and Meade, Nd, the SOL
diers about to be discharged have
displayed great interest in buying
and renting farms as well as secur-
ing positions with reputable farm
ers. Many Of the discharged sol
diers have already obtained en-
ployment through the efforts of the
Office of Farm Management of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture in cooperation with the
Department of Labor. Farmers
the country over are hiring as
much labor as their spring work
justifes, and there is big demand
for farm labor in approximately
all agricultural sections. Oregon,
which recently had a large labor
surplus, now is in the market for
more farm help, while Nevada
stockmen are in need of more than
600 cowboys, sheep herders, and
farmers. Ohio farmers need half
a thousand helpers, according to
most recent reports. The first re-
fusal of these positions is given to
the soldiers at the various camps,
and if the Department Of Agricul-
ture is unable to obtain the neces-
sary men from the army camps the
requisite labor is secured through
other channels. All conditions
seem to indicate that there is plen.
ty of farm work for all who are
experienced and competent in agri.
cultural activities.

Arbor Day Re-made
AS A Soldiers Memorial

In spite of the efforts of forestry
associations and the support of
state and federal governments,
Arbor Day has been celebrated
heretofore in perfunctory man
ner or neglected altogether in some
localities. To be sure no one de-
MED the value of three planting,
or of encouraging scientific fores-
try, but the yearly proclamations
become stereotyped and only the
school children and a few who
were enthusiasts already, reacted
to the yearly stimulus.
This year, however, the appeal
strikes a new note, for the day is
to be given over to tree planting
in honor of our soldier dead. The
idea is heartily endorsed by the
governors of the states. Thus the
day will be re-made under inspir-
ing conditions that associates the
natural resources Of the state with
the undying memories of those who
for love of country made the su-
preme sacrifice for their fellow
men.

The Bluebird

The coming and going of the
birds is more or less a mystery and
a surprise. We go out in the morn
ing, and no thrush or finch is to
be heard; we go out again, and
every tree and grove is musical;
yet again, and all is silent. Who
saw them come? Who saw them
depart?
This pert little winter-wren, for
instance, darting in and out the
fence, diving under the rubbish
here and there, coming up yards
away,-how does he manage with
those little circular wings to COM
pass degrees and zones, and arrive
always in the nick Of time? Last
August / saw him in the remotest
wilds of the Adirondacks, i'm
patient and inquisitive as usual; a
few weeks later, on the Potomac,
l was greeted by the same hardy
little busybody. Does he travel by
easy stages from bush to bush and
from wood to wood? or has that
compact little body force and
courage to brave the night and the
upper air, and so achieve leagues
at ore pull?
And yonder bluebird with the
earth tinge on his breast and the
sky tinge on his back,-did he come
down out Of heaven on that bright
March morning when he told us so
softly and plaintively that, if we
pleased, spring had come? Indeed,
there is nothing in the return of
the birds more curious and sug-
gestive than in the first appear
ance, or rumors of the appearance,
of this little blue-coat..
The bird at first seems a mere
wandering voice in the air; one
hears it's call or carol on some
bright March morning, but is un-
certain Of it's source or direction
it falls like drop of rain when
no cloud is visible; one looks and
listens, but to no purpose. The
weather changes, perhaps cold
snap with snow comes on, and it
may be week before / hear the
note again, and this time or the
next perchance see the bird sitting
on stake in the fence lifting his
wing as he calls cheerily to his
mate. It's notes now become daily
more frequent; the birds multiply
and, fitting from point to point
call and warble more confidently
and gleefully.-John Burroughs.

Prospects For The
1919 Corn Crop

Unless all signs fail, corn ought
to be most profitable crop in the
coming year. This, of course, is
assuming that weather conditions
will be normal.
Prices ought to be good. The
corn market has been weak until
just recently, but now it is gaining
strength every day and the 1918
crop bids fair to exceed wartime
prices before the new crop comes
in. There is every reason to sup
pose that the market will become
frmer as time goes on.
The 1919 acreage must of neces-
sity be relatively small. The acre
age in 1918 was only 95 per cent
of 1917. Then, in addition, there
was fully a third over normal
wheat acreage sown last fall. This
spring will see big increase in
spring wheat acreage as we'll.
Naturally, the land sown to wheat
will not be available for corn-the
more wheat sown, the less land for
corn.
Probably the average corn grow
er will. make a special effort to
overcome the short acreage with
big yielding crop. This ought to
be good business. The price will
make it worth while, and the
lagrer, better crop will make best
use of labor, which is still short

an ill-advised counselor who wrote
in a household magazine that it is
foolish idea to put pictures in
the kitchen or the cooks room. The
woman in domestic service ought
to be able to get at more than arms
length from her work. She ought
to have place to entertain
friends. Fortunate is the house
holder who can provide sitting
room for the servants. They work
the better (cynics to the contrary
notwithstanding for any evidence
of personal concern in their social
welfare. If the cook plays the
mandolin or the saxophone, do not
discourage her. She will perform
her task the more acceptably for

Some Garden Suggestions

Sprouting the seed potatoes in
the light will give you new pota-
toes fully two weeks ahead of the
ordinary seed.
A tough, hard soil needs humus.
Spread manure, rotten straw or
leaves, over it and pillow or spade
under. There is little use trying to
garden on soil which lacks
humuS.
Manure is not sufficient fertilizer
for the garden. Used alone and in
excessive quantities it is apt to
produce heavy vines and tops at
the expense of fruit.
Plant diseases often result from
malnutrition. Well fed crops like
we'll fed animals are most resist
ant to disease.
An ammoniated fertilizer helps
to give quick start in the early
spring.
Sterile blossoms of squash
pumpkin, peppers, tomatoes, beans
peas, etc, are often due to lack of
sufficient phosphoric acid in the
fertilizer.
Potash is needed for root crops
and potatoes especially.

Old Letter Tells
How Pershing's Ancestors
Came To America

Rev. Justus N. Pershing of
Greensburg, Pa, cousin of General
John j. Pershing, has come into
possession of a letter written by
one of the ancestors of the Perish
ing family in America.
In 1744, in the village of Kehe,
Alsace Lorraine, the Pershing an
cestry fought under Emperor
Charles against the Magyars.
Frederick Pershing, whose eldest
son gave his life defending the
Emperor, determined that his
youngest son, Frederick, Jr.,
should not become an Imperial
sailor, but should go to America,
"Under the hearthstone, Freder-
ick Pershing had secreted bag of
gold coins" the letter received
here says. "This is not large sum
of money, my son, but perhaps it
will aid you to reach the American
colonies, and perhaps you or your
forbears will be able to come back
and redeem the fair fields of AL
SAGE Lorraine from oppression y
the father told the lad as he bade
him farewell.
In due time the youth reached
America. His father and~brothers
emigrated later. They settled in
Westmoreland county, where Gen
eral Pershing's grandparents were
born,

"Music For Maggie"

Il don't want to go into house
without a piano" A candidate for
domestic employment thus declared
herself to the local bureau of the
United States Department of
Labor. It sounds like a defiance,
but the words have deeper sig
nifcance. The applicant felt in
stinctively that a house without a
piano was likely to be a house
without the domestic sympony
of sweet concordance. Instead
of conatas and concertos there
would be voices raised in acrid
disputation. Instead Of songs
there might be tongs. The place of
music would probably be taken by
endless debates, by spiteful GEN.
sure, by gossip and backbiting and
Querulous fault-fnding.
Happy is that household where
jazz browns out the crying of the
baby, the rattle of the fire-irons,
the whir of the sewing machine
and the sound of the tussle with
the clinkers in the furnace. Let
the voices of Caruso or Gluck, the
violin Of Heifetz prevail above the
Calisthenics of the iceman, the ash
man and the curator of the gar
bage. The dream-world of Lucia"
or "Trovatore" displaces, per-
chance, hum-drum vista of the
cabbage-haunted range, the laun-
dry tubs and the signal flags ofrthe
clothesline.
It's more than joke. One can
certainly cook, scrub, dust, make
beds, answer the door and mind
the baby better to dulcet strains
Of music in the background. The
desire Of the eve for beautiful pic
lures round about is matched by
the desire of the ear to be the re-
cipient of delightful sounds. 1t was
