MEN WANTED FOR PANAMA

Do you want to go and see the
greatest achievement of modern engi-
neering and a monument to American
enterprise? You can.
Little did Phillip III. of Spain think,
when in 1867, sorely perplexed at his
inability to secure a favorable report
regarding a waterway to the Pacific,
that nearly three and half centuries
later completion of the big Ditch"
would be successfully accomplished by
the efforts and ingenuity of nation
then unborn.
Only five days sailing from New
Orleans to the canal zone. The soldier
will find this a delightful voyage thru
the Gulf of Mexico and the warm
waters of the Caribbean so unlike the
restless Atlantic, be he from Port
land, Oregon, Portland, Maine, New
York or San Francisco. will have the
opportunity of seeing one of the oldest
and most interesting cities in the
United States. Cherishing her French
traditions and ancestry, New Orleans
is remindful of many a city in France,
quaint narrow streets, shops exhibit
ing Partisan wares, her excellent
cuisine, picturesque homes with vine
covered walls. and beautiful flower
gardens with a peep thrugh the trel-
Used gate will disclose.
United States troops are stationed
a. Cristobal and Gatun at the Allan
tic end and at Corazal, within a few
miles of Panama City, the capital of
the republic, and Balboa-Ancon, the
headquarters of the Panama canal
government at the Pacific end.
The original towns are typically
Spanish. The veterans of the A. E. F
will find the "Oui" of France become
"Si" of the Latin countries, although
many of the Panamaians he will find
speak English.
The following branches of the serv-
ice are open for the canal zone: Infan-
try, cavalry, coast artillery. engineer
corps, signal corps. medical depart
ment, ordnance department, quarter
master corps.
All enlistments for Panama will be
sent by way of New Orleans, La.

AGRICULTURE
TOday's Attendance Rather Limited,
but it Will Probably be Greater
Tomorrow

The International Harvester Com
pany's demonstration train, which ar
rived here Saturday afternoon, began
its farmers short course in agricul-
ture at the fair grounds this morning.
The attendance this morning was
small and nothing like as large as it
should have been. but it is believed
that the crowd this afternoon and to-
night will be much larger. Tonight
nine reels of motion pictures of agri-
cultural subjects Will be shown.
The mornings program was devot-
eG to the making of a seed bed, and
to an explanation by Prof. H. S. Mob
ley, who heads the demonstration
train. This afternoon the program
consists of more field work and lee
tures by Prof. Mobley and Mrs. AIDA
Hcwie, who began with calf and now
has one of the finest herds of Jersey
cows in the world.
In his talk this morning, Prof.
Mobley laid stress on the Importance
of deep plowing. and proper discing
and packing, and the turning under
OF all vegetable matter to build the,
fertility of the soil. He said that it
was not possible to turn under too
much transforming vegetable mat
ter. In speaking of the methods of
doing this, Prof. Mobley called atten-
ton to the Importance of chopping up
tire vegetable growth with a disc be-
fore putting the plow to it. By cut
ting it up first, he said, the rankest
growth of corn stalks, velvet beans,
beggarweed, etc., can be turned under,
and there will be no clumps formed
underneath to keep out the moisture.
During his talk this morning, Prof,
Mobley told of having attended the
populist convention in Ocala years
ago, when the famous "Ocala Plat
form" was adopted. 1t was at this
convention, Prof. Mobley said. that
farm demonstration and extension
work, rural credits, rural delivery Of
mail, and other benefits to the farmer
really began. He said that when the
motion was made in the convention to
put in the platform a plank providing
for rural free delivery of mail, the
greatest uproar was caused. The cry
was raised that such a thing would
bring about the greatest burden Of
taxes, and the farmers couldn't stand
it. Prof. Mobley said that in the same
way, many farmers are opposing the
building of good roads today, over
looking entirely the benefits that re-
suit.
Prof Mobley is an advocate of the
use of lime on the soils. He says lime
must be used to get results in coun-
ty such as Marion. where the soils are
50 acid. Too many farmers make the
mistake of thinking there is lime
enough in the soil simply because the
sol. is underlaid with deposits of lime,
or has lime rocks scattered around
over it. Prof. Mobley says that there
can be no great success with livestock
where lime is not used, and successful
sol building and farming is based on
livestock.

RUMORS ARE WRONG

Berlin, Dec. 8.-Rubors abroad that
the committees investigating the war
guilt of German leaders in 1914 have
discontinued their meetings are
wrong, according to a leading news
agency. The agency says the COM
mittees intend to conduct the investi-
cations to conclusion. but new meth
ods will be adopted to make it impos-
sible for witnesses to misuse the oc-
casion for party political purposes.

Mail them early and avoid disap-

reduction of train service on some
railroads, and further curtailment will
doubtless be necessary as the strike
continues. This condition makes the

this year more than usually impor-
