Will Be REGULAR Training Post.

Camp Meade will be a training head
quarters henceforth, not only for the
regular army, but for the National Guard
of Maryland and adjoining States as well
Gen. Penton c. March, Chief of Staff.
Every summer the War Department
plans to have the National Guard units
throughout the country assemble at the
various army environments which will be
permanently maintained and engage in
divisional maneuvers At Camp Meade
the National Guard of Maryland, Virgin
ia, New Jersey, and the District of Col
umbia will be assembled and they will
be drilled as single division precisely
under the same kind of organization as
they have had during the war.
At other times Camp Meade will be
operated as headquarters and maneu-
yer center for division of regulars, and
General March also stated that if Con-
gress adopts plan of universal military
training, each of the cantonments will
also be used as training centers.

Seeds OF Fortune.

Thoughtless spending is like eating
so much of this years crop that there
is insufficient seed left for next year.
Wise spending and sane saving are
like eating enough of this years crop
to promote the highest degree of eff
cheney and saving enough for even a
better crop next year.
1t is good business to think of the
next crop. The farmer who did not
plan ahead might find, at the time
to plant corn, that he had neither
saved the seed nor prepared the land.
Are you saving the seed that makes
fortunes? A small amount of money
invested in Thrift Stamps each week
will soon grow into War Saving
Stamps-and you will not only have
saved the seed for success but plant
ed it. After that it doesn't need
cultivation, but grows in good sea-
son and bad. And in 1924 your crop
comes in.

Three Auto Racers Killed.

indianapolis, Ind, May 31.-Be-
fore 275 miles of the 500 mile auto
mobile race had been run at the Speed
way here today, three participants
had been killed, one injured severely
and two less seriously hurt.
LIE Cocque and his mechanician,
both of Los Angeles, CAL, were burn
ed to death on the ninety sixth lap
when their car caught fire as it made
the southeast curve, turned over and
they were covered with flaming gaso-
line. They burned for five minutes
before the guards and spectators could
put out the blaze. The flaming gaso-
line covered the track and while the
blaze was being fought other racing
cars dashed through the fire.
Arthur Thurman, of Newark, N. j.
in his first race on brick track was
killed when his machine turned over
on the north turn soon after he had
driven 100 miles. His mechanician
was injured seriously.
J. Chassagne, relief driver for Bah
lot, and his mechanician, were in
jured but not seriously, when their
machine went over on the north turn.
The speed maintained up to the
275-mile point was the greatest in
the history of the speedway. 1t aver
aged to that point 81. "a miles an
hour.

Appalling conditions in the coun-
tries of Eastern Europe, imposing on
the American Red Cross obligations
additional to those assumed during
the period of the world war, and the
continuance of activities in connection
with the already outlined domestic
program of the Red Cross, make nee
essary an appeal to the people OF
America for further funds to carry
on the work for the relief of human
ity.
1T has been decided to make this
appeal in the Autumn, in period
two weeks eliminating on the eleventh
of November, the anniversary of the
armistice-a season when the Ameri-
can people may properly give mani
festation, through contributions to
their Red Cross, of their thankful
ness for deliverance from added hor-
rors of war which have fallen upon
nations less fortunate.
