NAVY WILL SOON BE
AT FULL STRENGTH
Large Number of Vessels Will Soon
Be Sent To See

Washington, Nov. 6.-Recruiting
for the navy is progressing so salts
factorily that naval officials believe
it will soon be possible to send to sea
a large number of vessels of all
classes number of vessels entirely
out of fleets, but actually tied up at
navy yards for lack of crews.
Recruits are entering the services
at a rate exceeding $500 week
and the training stations are daily
sending large number of men to the
fleets after the usual four months of
training. On November /, the navy
was only $4,000 men short Of the
authorized strength of approximate
ly 143,OO0 and it is believed at the
department that the full strength
will be reached before March 1.
AS a result of the shortages of ex-
perienced men it became necessary
last winter and spring to place a
large number of vessels entirely out
out of commission or to lay them up
with greatly reduced crews. Eigh-
teen battleships are now with the
Atlantic and Pacific fleets on
cruising duty, however, while four
others have reduced crews. Thirteen
of the oldest types are out Of COM
mission entirely.
1t is explained at the navy de-
partment that there is no expecta-
ion Of ever placing full crews aboard
all the destroyers in time of peace as
the navy now has a superabundance
of this type of vessel. About SO per
cent of the destroyers eventually
will be kept fully manned and on
duty with the fleets and others CIV
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-11-08

en- only large enough crews to keep
them ready for duty in time of en-
ergency.
The naval reserve force, naval Off
cials say, can always be depended
upon to provide trained crews for
both destroyers and battlehips in
reserve when occasion demands.
No modern submarines are out of
commission, according to naval Off
cials, but SO of these vessels of the
older types are without full crews.
Difficulty has been experienced In
training men for the submersibles
due to the peculiar technical nature
of the duty.
Of the 55 eagleboats on the naval
list, 81 are fully manned and "a are
in reserve or loaned to the naval
reserve force for training purposes,
it is stated, with 26 cruisers and
gun boats in full commission and "a
in reduced commission or laid up.
The substantial increase in pay
granted the navy at the last session
of congress, together with the re-
cent announcement Of an extended
cruise by the Atlantic and Pacific
fleets this winter to ports in South
America, Africa, Australia and New
Zealand have served to greatly
stimulate enlistments, officials at the
department say.

HIGH SCHOOL LITERARY
SOCIETIES.
(Proper Gander.)

Many are the benefits derived from
even a small amount of time devoted
to literary societies in high school. ]
choose high school because we are
chiefly interested in high school, be-
ing high school pupils; but the re-
suits of literary societies are exen
more gratifying in this stage of a
pupils work than even in after years,
or in college work.
Naturally, the pupils sense of in
terest as a fine are is keener at this
stage than any other, for it is just
awakening to the wonderful progress
that mankind has made along all
lines, and especially literature.
Besides the pupils interest being
keener for literature at this stage,
the high school offers the only chance
a great majority have to take part in
a literary society, as the number who
attend college are by far in the min
ority. So the benefit of high school
literary society to the community at
large is greater.
But pupils who are fortunate
enough to attend college consider
themselves lucky indeed, for their
ease and ppoise before the public is
due to high school literary society
training, to say nothing of the de-
.velopment that it gives in literature.
Then last, but not least, is the spir-
it of interest developed by literary
society in high school. If there hap
pens to be two societies, the greater
the results, as a spirit of rivalry is
melted in the pupil to make his soci-
ETY. the best. Thus both societies make
greater strides in development for
where there is pride and interest,
things can not lag. Emphatically, a
we'll developed literary society is
the greatest antidote for tagging in
terest in high school work with bene-
fits sufficient to justify the time de-
voted to the work.

PREVENT sTINKING

SMUT IN WHEAT.
"Don't delay in treating spring wheat
seed for sinking smut!
This is the message of cereal special.
lists in the United States Department o
Agriculture to spring wheat growers IL
the Northwest, where sinking smut OF
bunt Of wheat is prevalent and annually
causes great losses.
Sinking smut of wheat may be pre-.
vented readily by treating the seed with
formaldehyde or with bluestone. For,
maldenyde is very generally used in the
region east of the Rocky Mountains. In
the Pacific Coast States bluestone is more
commonly employed, because it usually
gives very much better results; this ID
doubtless because soil infestation occurs
in that region.
The best method Of applying the for
maldehyde solution is by the so-called
dipping method, which is as follows
Prepare a solution of formaldehyde, US
ing pound to 40 gallons ofwater. Place
some of the solution in a tub or barrel
pour the grain to be treated slowly into
the solution, stirring thoroughly, so that
the smut balls aud trash may float to the
surface and be skinned off Drain the
solution off from the seed and pour il
out in pile and cover with sacks or can.
vass for to Il hours DO not allow the
seed TO remain in the solution more than
10 minutes. Forty gallons of the solu
ton is sufficient to treat 40 bushels oil
grain. After removing the covers from
the grain spread it out to dry.
1t is necessary to avoid communicating
the seed again. 1t must not be placed
in smutty sacks, nor sown with smutty
drill. Sacks, bins, drill, ETC., may be
disinfected by washing thoroughly with
solution of formaldehyde of l pound tc
10 gallons of water.

IOWA EXPERT GIVES OUT A
GOOD MEAT BRINE FORMULA.

Custer county people who wish brine
that will keep meat in good condition
but which will not leave the salty taste
usually expected in meats preserved in
this way are urged by Professor NJ. d.
Helser, of Ames, Iowa, TO give the fol.
lowing formula trial:
For each 100 pounds of meat use:
~ pounds of salt.
3 pounds of sugar.
2 ounces of saltpeter.
6 gallons of water.
1t is important that the salt, sugar and
saltpeter be thoroughly mixed. Then
rub each piece with the salt mixture
and pack in barrel, placing the skin
side down, except on the top layer.
Care should be taken to have pure water
and usually it is safer to boil it. After
the water has cooled, dissolve the salt
left from rubbing the meat, pour into
the barrel, making sure that all the meal
is covered. After seven days repack the
meat and scald the brine or add fresh
which need not be so strong as the first
On the twenty-fourth day repack the
meat again and remove hams and bacor
that are to be smoked.
Oak barrels or large jars are the bes
for packing; never use pine barrels oi
covers as it gives bad flavor to the
meat. All meat must be thoroughly
cooled before packing but never allowed
to freeze,

SAVE MONEY ON MEAT WEEK
APRIL 1917 IN DAKOTl

Brookings, s. D., April S-South Da-

the national government TO buy the
cheaper cuts of meat the week beginning

campaign to show consumers the adyan-
tages of using inexpensive meat cuts.
During the campaign, dealers have
agreed to carry the less expensive cuts

maud
The present discrimination in favor
Of the very choice meat cuts, which con-
stitute only about one-quarter of the
meat animal, is uniustfiabe, either in
an economic or culinary sense. This
discrimination has driven high the
prices of the very cuts which are 10

meat are very nutritious and can be

The saving which can be effected to
the consumer by using more of the in

WAR RISK INSURANCE
Not Policy of War Risk Bureau to Dissu-
ade Ex-Service Men Purchasing
ANY Particular Policy.

Announcement is made by Director
| Il. q. Cholmeley-JOne of the Bureau OF
| War Risk Insurance that it is not the
| policy of the bureau to attempt TO dis.
suade ex-seryice men and women from
purchasing any particular form of Gov.
ernmeut Converted Policy for which
they show a preference.
Since all forms of insurance contracts,
especially those which will be issued by
the government, are based on actuarial
principles, they are designated accord
ing to the amount of premium charged
to get the full value of the money re-
ceived
For instance, while the endowment
policy is more expensive from an insur.
ance point Of view, if the insured lives
to the end of the endowment period, il
is one Of the cheapest forms OF insur.
ance, and stated preference for this
policy therefore should not be dscour,
aged.
1t is the position of the bureau that it
is perfectly all right to accompany an
explanation of the various policies with
all necessary information, but advice as
to selection should be given only where
it is specifically sought. Usually the
selection is dependent upon the indi-
vidual, who should be encouraged to
make his own choice and to follow his
own desires. All of the policies are
good.
In emphasizing the general recogni-
ton of their exceptional value to former
service men and women, President Fred
A. Rowland of the National Life Insur-
ance Company, of Montpelier, Vermont,
in the course of an address to the March
meeting Of Commanders of the Ameri.
can Legion Post of the state Of Yer
mont, made the following statement
from the viewpoint of an official of a life
insurance company:
'Can you imagine what would happen
if all the employees in the three hun
dred life insurance companies of Amer
ica were drawn into one department,
and were required to administer the
tremendous work that the Bureau OF
War Risk Insurance has had to do in
Washington Ia view Of the fact that
it wrote over forty billion dollars worth
Of insurance within few months, nee
essarily there were mistakes-the con-
trary would have been impossible. No
Executive Of any life insurance company
hesitates to recommend, in the most
emphatic terms, that the Government
Insurance is good thing. You cannot
expect the regular old line life insurance
companies to furnish insurance at the
same rate as the Government does.
The Government premium does not
carry administration expense. That is
borne by the taxpayer There is no
tax, there is no labor expense. All OF
this is borne by the tax payer So in
the last analysis there is every reason,
and every life insurance agent will tell
you there is every reason, why you
should hold on to your Government In-
surance. 1t is the cheapest, has the
most substantial backing, The Treasury
of the United States itself, and will be
made the most attractive"
