General Wood, Governor
Smith and Commander
d'Olicr to Speak at
Convention i'm Albany
Committee, Planning Pur-
chase of Clubhouse for
Manhattan Veterans, Meet
Tom Orrow Night

A glance at tho program for the
American Legion's state convention at
Albany next month vindicates the
judgment Of State Commander Wade
H. Hayes In his selection Of a COM
mittee on arrangements.
It is unlikely that any department
organization Of the Legion in the United
States will have a moro imposing ar
ray OF notables as its guests during Its
convention than that gracing the pro-
gram for New York.
Addresses are to be made BY Major
General Leonard Wood, Governor Smith
and Franklin d'Olier, national COM
mander Of the Legion. The Governor
and Major James R. Watt, of Albany,
will welcome the delegates, and State
Commander Hayes Is scheduled to make
the response. The chaplains of the
convention will be Father William
Keane and the Rev. Albert C. Larned.
and additional addresses will be made
TO the delegates by National Adiutant
Lemuel Bolles, r. T. Fisher, district
vocstional officer of the Federal Board
for Vocational Training; r. Rexford
Shafer, of the War Risk Insurance Bu-
res, and representative of the pub
lie health service.
Five delegates -at-large and about
seventy-hve delegates are to be chosen
to attend the national convention at
Cleveland. and il Is probable that q
spirited contest will take place for
those Offices. New state officers also
must be elected, and thus far only two
candidates have appeared, as far as is
known. One is William F. Deegan,
Bronx County Chairman, who was in
dorsed by mis- county at its convention
early this month. A determined effort
will be made to install him as first
vice-commander of the state 1t is al
most certain that the new state COM
mander Will be an upstate Legionnaire.
and wild Bill Donovan, former COM
mander OF the Fighting seth, is likely
choice.
Apparently the convention is to be
one at which great deal of good work
will be accomplished. While some Of
the county organizations in the state
have differences Of their own, it is un-
likely that any group will have an ak
10 grind with the state executives. OF
course, there will be scores Of resolu-
tons offered, some of them possibly
exceedingly drastic, but the cooler
heads viii prevail and it is almost
certainty that the convention will &C
quit itself we'll.

NATURE PROVIDES 5l
 THE INGREDIENTS
Argo-Phosphate, the New Herbal Remedy, Now Endorsed by
 Local People


 If the digestive organs are not properly performing the work which nature has assigned to them, then nutrition, which is absolutely essen tial to the recovery of other diseased parts, will be lacking and there can be no permanent relief. When bodily nutrition is normal, the stomach di- gests the food, the blood absorbs and carries the neurishment to the different parts of the body, causing the various organs totproperly per- form their functions
 Nature has provided remedy in the ingredients of Argo-Phosphate, the new herbal stomach remedy, which is now being introduced here. It is purely vegetable and its vitaliz- ing, corrective and reconstructive qualities are so pronounced that beneficial results are noticed from the first day. That this is true, it is only necessary to listen to the state ments made daily by local people who have given Argo-Phosphate a fair trial and have been benefited there 5y. aoe

LOOK TO SARDINIA FOR CORK
World Turning to That Island for Pro duction of Material So Much
 In Demand.

Cork has probably passed olive oil as the leading export of Sardinia, and Commercial Attache A. P. Dennis states that recent production has been so stimulated that large factory at Temple is quadrupling its capacity. The bark Is stripped from the tree once in nine years. At the Temple oughly steamed and f1attened out by hydraulic pressure; 1t then remains in piles about 30 days. when 1t is taken out covered with blue mold. and is carefully scraped on both sides and cut into widths varying according to the. lengths of the cork shoppers de- sired. The strips are cut by hand into cubes, process requiring highly skill ed labor. with much care in picking out defective pieces. The corks have been rounded and tapered by high speed cutting machines, but a new abrasive process is claimed to reduce the waste of this finishing from 20 to 30 per cent. Before the war the fine dust sold in Germany for unknown use for about 800 ton. At Terranova the cork Is differently utilized, the best being baled in sheets for ship ment, while the inferior Is coarsely ground and used with a magnesium surface for walls and floor coverings. The war demand was for cork trench mattresses, which were both light and afforded protection from cold and moisture. .-..l

Curing Onion. in the Field

pOnions are sometimes allowed to cure in windrows in the field, and if the eVweather is clear, yellow and red varieties can be handled successfully i'm this manner. It is preferable, however, to place them in. slated crates soon after topping and pile in open sheds or in stacks in the field. Ihfthes latter case the piles should be covered with temporary roofs for protection from rain. Exposure of white varieties to damp weather in the field will almost invariably prove fatal, and they should be placed in a curing shed, where advantage can be taken of clear weather and protec- ton can be given during rainy peri eds,

One of the delicaciesl that our grandmothers served when company came was sweet curds pie. It sis just as good as it ever was, though served less often than in the olden days. The curd is obtained by adding rennet to warm milk and allowing the milk to stand until it hardens. The curd is then broken up and strained. To the icurd from 1 quart of milk add 1 level tablespoon of but ter, one-fourths of a cup of sugar, the yolks of 2 eggs, a few Zante cur rants or chopped raisins, and little nutmeg. stos4 a',.1-

Save Stable Manure


 Do you know that COW makes about $85 worth of manure year? ? That she is not worth keeping on many farms unless she is credited with this manure? If we do know this why do we waste so much of this valuable bi-product.
 The figures above are easily check ed-a 1000-pound COW excretes an nually A156 pounds of nitrogen worth $46.80, 38 pounds of phosphoric acid worth $3.80, and 127 pounds of pot ash1worth $38.10-total $88.70, ac- cording to W. L. Slate of the depart ment of agronomy at Connecticut Agricultural College, Storrs. That does not take into account the bed- ding, which in the case of straw or cheap hay is also valuable.
 To be sure, only about two-thirds of the annual amount is dropped in irresistible. The other third is drop ped on the pastures, where it is not wasted. On that basis, two-thirds of $8S.70 is $59.13. But you say that all of this plant food is not readily available. This is also true, but Of the two-thirds dropped in the stable, a considerable portion is urine-53 pounds of nitrogen and 72 pounds of potash--all readily available. Half of this is $10,71 or total produc- ton of $48.31 worth of active fer tilizer to be had for a little care.
 Note that three-quarters of this is in the urine-the lesson then is plain:
 hs Use enough bedding to absorb the urine.
 .2.s Don't let manure lie where it will leach and drain away. sp Our soldiers made much sport of the manure pits, they saw in France, and it is true that they were often in toofcentral location for sanitary and4other reasons, but the farmers of France have learned their lesson. When will we learn it?

Canning Clubs sueesed

During the past season there nave been in operation in the state three canning clubs, distinct from the other canning clubs of the state in that they were organized for the purpose of making money by canning for sale one thousand cans of product.
 The Nike Club, organized at Sails bury, planned to use tin cans. They purchased one thousand of these and a sealer costing $16.00. The mem bers met twice week for work at the Friendly Club which was fitted with running water and oil stoves. They began plans too late in the season for planting most vegetables. The members did plant the same varieties of the later vegetables to insure uniformity of product. An other year the girls hope to make arrangements early enough in the season to grow sufficient products of standard grade to fill their cans.
 The Nassahegan Club, organized at Est Windsor Hill, decided to can 1000 tins of tomatoes, using cap and hole tins, and purchasing the product The club met for work at the kitchen of their leader, Mrs. Grant.
 The Damascus Canning Tomato Club of Branford planned to raise can and sell 1000 quarts of toma, toes. The boys and girls in this club planted 1-2 acre of tomatoes fol which they had product enough fol something over 1900 quarts of to matoes, the members using 1000 o1 the cap and hole tins and over 200 glass quart jars. They used an oi stove for heating. They feel tha another year they would like an out door canner right on the tomato plot
 Although only one of these clubs reached the mark of 1000 cans, ant they have not yet sold all their pro duct, yet they have sold enough tc have fairly sound basis of reckon ing their profits. All of the club' have been financially successful.
