Council OF National Defense.

Under the Council of : National
Defense in Washington, consisting
of the Secretaries of War, Navy,
Interior, Agriculture, Commerce.
and Labor, and with Groesvenor b.
Clarkson as Director, there has been
built up under the governors OF the
forty-eight states complete defense
system now consisting in addition to
the state organization of 1000
counties, 10000 women's divisions,
and some 100000 community and
municipal units This great field
machinery has represented the peo-
pie of the United States in Washing
ton and has carried through to the
smallest community the problems
and measures of the national gov
eminent during the war.
In Washington the Council of Ma
tional Defense has created such vital
bodies as the War Industries Board,
the Aircraft Production Board, the
Commercial Economy Board, acting
in a sense as a great administrative
laboratory; and other similar gov
eminent war agencies. The Council
of National Defense has been content
to build these agencies and turn
over to them the specific problems
which come within their Jurisdiction.
1t had not originally been the in
tention to continue the state council
of defense system beyond the date
of the signing of the armistice.
However, many problems now re-
quire careful handling problems in
which the cooperation of the people
throughout the United States is not
only desirable but absolutely neces-
sary. There is the problem Of
Americanization, the problem of UNI
employment, the transference of the
$4,000, 100000 of war risk insur-
ance outstanding from war to a
peace basis,-in short it is no less
imperative to meet the problems OF
readjustment than it was to prepare
for war.
For that reason Mr.. Clarkson,
Director of the Council, at the per-
sonal request of the Secretary of
War, Chairman of the Council, has
agreed to continue in Office and has
written the states suggesting that a
special non-partisan, non-sectarian
bureau or commission be established
in each state which will draw from
the council of defense system al
ready created those dividends for
peace which the war effort of the
nation has entitled it to receive.

Visit BY Locusts Due This Yea

Visit BY LOcusts Due This Year.
Orchardists are being warned by
the chronological Department to
"go slow this year" in putting out
new plants which will receive in
juries at the hands of locusts, for
this is 17-year-locust year in Mary
land and adjoining states, while old
trees comparatively escape.
Official bulletins state that brood
No. 10, one of the largest on record,
will appear, and that no planting or
pruning should be done until after
they are gone. The insects, it is
stated, will appear in great swarms.
1t is feared many of the young or
chards in this territory will be
seriously damaged by the insects,
and just how to combat the pest is a
problem the orchard owners are
wrestling with, for the greater num-
Der of the trees here have never be-
fore been attacked by the 17-year-
locusts.
The brood is common this year in
Maryland, all over West Virginia,
most of Ohio and with sprinkling
in the counties of Pennsylvania and
Virginia. This is the Northern
variety of the 17-year-locust. There
is another variety known as the 13-
year-locust, but this is confined to
the extreme South, and never ex-
tends beyond the Potomac or farther
west than the southern part of
Illinois.

Gardens viii Be Profitable This
Year.

The home garden is likely to
prove a profitable investment of
effort this year as it has for the past
several seasons, in the opinion of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The experience of the past
few years has proved that persons
who have sufficient land and spare
time and who do their home garden
ing work intelligently and efficiently
find it profitable. The relatively
high prices of practically all food
stuffs tend to increase the saving
effected, but the home garden should
be planned with view to meeting
the family needs rather than of pro-
ducing crops for sale on the market.

B|G TIRE COMPANY
 OPENS BRANCH HERE


 Along with the announcement that the Boss Rubber. company of Fl Paso had taken over the local branch of the Savage Tire corporation, comes the report of wide expansion in the organization of the selling end of that company in Arizona.
 As announced several days ago, the deal whereby the Boss Rubber com pany takes over the Arizona territory, including the Phoenix headquarters, has been completed, and this gives the new firm exclusive selling rights for Savage tires in the state,'' said George o. Kimmick, the local manager.
 This means a great deal, as we will now be in a position to put forth our very best efforts insofar as a big sales campaign is concerneds and we pro- pose to make it nothing short of a record breaker from now on.'
 Kimmick said that the showing Saw age tires have made all through this country, with both users and dealers, warrants them the biggest kind of in creases in output.
 He said further that the Boss Rub Der company has bought fleet of Dodge cars for their sales force and also a truck with which to make local and suburban deliveries, as we'll as to take care of incoming and outgoing freight shipments.

ROPE IS HANDY ID PREVENT SKIDD|NC
 IN RAINY WEATHER

A summer shower occasionally makes it necessary for the driver of a truck equipped with solid tires to use some emergency device to prevent the skiddins and slipping of the wheels. At such time the tire chains are usually in the garage and some make shift has to be provided.
 The United States Tire company suggests that in such an emergency rope wrapped around the tire at inter vals will give the traction necessary and will do even less injury to the tires than chains. The rope, should be reeved through the spokes and tied secure ly. It will wear long enough, to meet the requirements.
 Trucks on solid tires are much less likely to skid than. passenger autos, because they are heavier and stick to the road better says the United States Tire company On slippery roads where passenger cars slew about wild ly, big trucks on solids will ride along steadily. But frequently the solids will not grip the road, and in such cases the use of rope will furnish plenty of traction.
 Many owners of trucks use ropes even in the winter instead of chains, because the ropes are less damaging to the tires. The ropes wear out ra- pidly and there is a considerable ex- pense, but the owners figure that the damage to tires is so much less than with steel chains that the cost of the ropes pays for itself.

method. Perhaps you have encount- cred Fords on the road at night with dazzling lights, and others which were extremely dim. In one instance the lights are apt to be burned out with in a very short time, while in the other case. the light is actually in sufficient for driving.
 At slow speeds, too, the Ford mag neto light is very dim. This is a de- cided disadvantage in driving over mountain roads at night, for it's cuts down the illumination just when it is needed most
 Tn making camp after dark, too, it is a great advantage to have the light from the lamps of the car to help out. All of these reasons make the battery form of lighting especially valuable to the Ford owner who is going camp ing.
 "Tne original charge in the battery will be ample for the average camping trip, and it is a matter of only a small sum to have the battery re- charged. For every day use as we'll the average Ford owrer will find a battery lighting system a very distinct advantage over the magneto type

Canadian Redskins Welcomed Home

HelT SOiOieFS
 (New York Tribune.)
 Prince Albert, Sask-Eight stalwart young red skinned warriors who fought in France with the Canadian army were welcomed home by their tribesmen on the Snake Plain Indian reserve by the first scalp dance held in Canada in 40 years. Captured German helmets. bayonets, buckles and cart ridge boxes were waved aloft by the dancers in lieu of scalps.
 When the returned heroes stepped off the trian on the.s .stranscontinental line of the National railway, they were greeted by several hundred Indians and escorted to the reserve. The young men ot the tribe, clad in buckskin, moccasins, feathers and war paint. started up the scalp dance on the prai- rie at the edge of the village As they chanted their war songs to the music of tomtoms and rattles, the eight heroes leaped into the circle in their khaki uniforms, and shaking their cap tured trophies, torn from dead Germans on battlefields, emitted shrill war wihoops and danced with the others.
