SERGEANTCY
TO SHOULDER BARS
Startzman, at Sixty-Four, Holds
Age Record in Meade for
Enlisted Personnel.

"Startzman, do you realize that at the
end of the, year You are better off
financially than the major; that you
have more ready cash than hep
That was the statement made to
Sergt Startzman. sixty-four years old,
the oldest enlisted soldier in Meade,
by Mrs. Arthur Murray. the wife of the
present Maj. Gen. Murray, formerly
head of the artillery corps pf the
Army.
Mrs. Murray was sitting then in the
library of her home at Fort Totten,
while Sergt. Startzman, then much
younger, was serving as post painter.
The major had him come in his home
to touch up some furniture.
The reason for Mrs. Murray's re-
mark was that the major was receiv-
ing salary which didnot enable him
to put much money aside after paying
the expenses of his family. while the
sergeant's net profit at the end of the
year was considerable. The sergeant
never forgot the comparison. He re-
membered that a commissioned officer
had much entertaining to do and had
to pay for fine uniforms.
Turned Down Chance.
SO when the great war broke out
and the sergeant was stationed at the
big forts on the Panama canal he was
offered a commission. He turned down
the opportunity while number of his
friends in the regulars accepted the
chance and upbraided him for refus-
ing it..

that they cannot turn me out of my
present job as sergeant. so ! shall hold
on to it, After the war many of these
old-time sergeants will be sergeants
again. 1t isn't that we cannot make
good officers and get results in every
way. but we fall down on the mathe-
matics in the examination. They
make you qualify even after the coal
mission is given YOU"
The sergeant stated that in peace
times the sergeant or sergeant major
was well off at one of the coast ar
tillery posts. He declared that his pay
amounted to from SIS to $50 per
month, with house and fuel free, and
that many perquisites were attached
to the position.

because he is regarded as too old for
the line. He wanted to go across
with the heavy artillery, having filled
every position on the 12-inch gun, but
he was turned down for physical rea-
sons.
1t is interesting to note also that the
sergeant's old home was in Cumber-
land, Md.

Library Needs Help.

Mr. Baker is having great difficulty
in supplying the demand for voca-
tional books. Hundreds of soldiers are
calling every day to ask for some
kind of special reading which will
help them to obtain better jobs back
home.
The library is expending thousands
of dollars to fill this demand, just as
it spent much money on the military
works which are now almost useless
Those who have books of this char
acter that will help a soldier to a
more thorough knowledge of a given
subject, especially trades, would be
comforting a great favor on the Ii
brary and the men of the camp by
sending the books here for distribu-
tion.
The statement of Mr. Baker regard
ing interest in farming is borne out
also in the "Y" lecture halls. The
speakers from the agriculture col
lege and the government are attract
ing much attention and the audiences
are growing as the meetings con-
tinue.
Mr.. Baker spent several months at
camp Greene and was stationed also
at Camp Jackson. which was ar
ranged, he said, much on the same
plan is Meade.

Berlin, May 27.-Count Won Brock
dOrff Rantzau, In an interview, said he
went to Versailles with the firm In
tention Of defending what remained
for the welfare and happiness of the
German people, but that even this rem
nant had been destroyed by the peace
treaty.
The count said it was question,
therefore, whether it could not be bet
ter saved by refusing to sign than by
submitting, as was desired by the in
dependent Socialists.
The chairman of the German dele
cation said he certainly would fight
to the last In order to try to improve
the lot Of the working people by negO-
tiatiOn, but that the delegates would
be SHINING against the interests of the
working people if they signed condi-
tons which signified only perpetual
famine and unemployment"
"ShOuld /, under pressure from our
own misled cOuntrymen, sign this SEN
tence of death?" asked Count Won
BrOckdOrff- Rantzau.
Questioned as to whether he feared
that the demonstrations OF the indie
pendent Socialists would be success
full, he said they would be unsuccess-
full In the sense of moving him to aban-
don his resolve not to sign what he
believed would he tantamOunt to the
destruction of the nation.
Referring to Herr Haase's statement
that peace must be signed and that
the coming revolution would make 1t
scrap Of paper, he said:
"When l came to Versailles I had
the firm hope that the time Of scraps
Of paper had finally passed and that
new age would begin In which only
treaties would be signed which would
be respected by both sides. have
not abandoned the hope OF obtaining
healthy international morality. A mere
scrap Of paper will never bear my
signature"

farm to-day requires quite as much
knowledge on what and how much
of each crop to plant us on the are
of growing those crops.
In normal season many men can
raise 30 bushels of corn per acre but
to produce it rs at profit is another
question. And this will become even
more important as prices lower.
A good illustration isl found on
two Colorado farms growing corn.
AS cost per acre was S33, while BIS
cost was only $40. There may be
many reasons for this difference but
n few are especially notable. A
got Il yield of 80 bushels and b got
SO bushels per acre. A hauled his
crop to market and it cost him near
ly zoe per bushel to do it. This may
also explain the difference in yield,
because farm can easily run down
if everything is hauled off and moth
ing returned.
A proper combination of crops
and kind and amount of live stock
for maximum returns on each indi
vidual farm deserves careful attcn-
ton.
