American Legion

Former service men OF the World
war and the members of the Ameri-
can Legion are deeply interested in
the maintenance and perpetuation of
the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans
Home, located near Knightstown, Ind.
Many children have become dependent
by reason of the war. and each year
the number Of those dependents will
increase.
Reports have been circulated during
the past few weeks to the effect that
a movement Is now being promoted by
certain individuals to the end that the
Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home
be made a general orphans home,
thereby depriving the service men of
a heritage which has been passed
down from the veterans Of the Civil
war.
Every effort should be made by the
American Legion to the end that this
home be maintained and perpetuated
as the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans
Home and that its identity should not
be changed or altered, and its aims
and purposes should not be modified
Laws should be enacted whereby serv,
ice men Of the late war may have
representation on the board of trus-
tees of this institution. To this end
all local posts should use their inf1u
ence and energy. 1t is our duty to
aid in the preservation of this spIen
did and magnificent home for the ben

Stanage Tells Tall Ones;
Back From Coast Hunting

Oscar Stanage, dean of the Tiger
catching staff, looks younger and acts
more like carefree boy than he has
for several seasons, according to re-
port from the Detroit camp at Macon
Ga. He says he is that way because
he spent such a good winter out on
the Pacific coast and had such good
luck hunting. He declares that he ran
into one flock that was estimated to
contain fifty million birds and that
when they all took wing together it
grew dark as the rays of the sun
couldn't penetrate the Opaque mass of
moving mallards, teal and red heads
He said all a hunter had to do was to
point his gun up in the air any place,
pull the trigger and dozen or more
ducks would fall at his feet.
While it is against the law in Cali
fornia to shoot after dark special per-
mits were issued so that hunters could
STAY them at any time. One reason
was that the sportsmen couldn't tell
whether it was daylight or not as the
darkness might merely be due to the
fact that flock of ducks was passing

Harvard Observatory
Searches for New Stars

BOSTON-The Harvard college OBJ
servatory is making a systematic
search for new stars such as have
hitherto been found only by accident.
Every two weeks Photographic
study of the milky way is made, the
plates being superimposed on earlier
plates Of the same region and the new
stars charted, says the Transcript.
I'm the 400 years preceding 1886"
says Prof. S. l. Bailey, acting director
of the observatory, "only nine new
stars were discovered. Since then %
have been discovered, of which Is
were detected at the Harvard obser-
vatory. To these should be added 16
faint objects found in nebulae by the
Mount Wilson observatory.
Among other undertakings, upon
which the observatory is engaged, is
the completion of the life work of the
late Prof. E. o. Pickering. Under his
direction Miss Annie J. Cannon made
survey and classification Of some
100000 stars. No such comprehensive
study had ever been made before. The
observations for this great survey are
now practically complete and the cata.
logue is in its final stages.
1--WE are also engaged upon a de.
tailed study Of the magnitudes of
stars. In certain special areas. in CO.
operation with Prof Kapteyn, of
Groningen, Holland, we also are max.
ing an especially intensive study of
both the magnitude and positions of all
stars down to the 18th or 10th mag
nitudes, or, in other words, down to
| stars about 10000 times too faint to be
seen with the naked eye. There are
something like 100,000,000 such stars
and by selecting certain typical areas
and accommodating all the facts posi-
BILE we get sufficient information tc
generalize pretty safely about the en-
tire number
1--WE are of course engaged in ali
sorts of special studies, particularly
| upon variable stars. There are scores
of observers in America, Europe and
Africa, many of them amateurs, who
send us the results of their observa
tions Of stars which vary in bright
ness from time to time But the bulk
| of the work of the Harvard observa
tory is upon the general surveys which
| have described. 1t is these facts
which we are accommodating and pub
lishing as fast as our limited funds
will permit

NO LOWER PRICES
ON COAL, VERDICT

There will be no lower spring or
summer price on coal in Richmond
this year. This is the unanimous opin-
ion of Richmond dealers, all OF
whom predict a possible increase dur
ing summer months. This is a con
dition never before known to Rich
mond.
The so cent increase per ton grant
ed by the government is partly res
ponsible. The chief reason. however
is the unprecedented shortage of cars
Miners Getting Discouraged
Coal jobbers in Cincinnati say that
mines are running but two days a
week and that miners are becoming
discouraged, all of which means that
when the car shortage is finally allie
waited, shortage of miners will exist
Jobbers will not take any new
orders for coal and in most cases
will only grudgingly deliver coal
ordered last fall This means that q
slight shortage exists in Richmond
not large enough to be alarming
Richmond is fortunate, however, a.
towns within a hundred mile radius
are experiencing acute shortages.

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

Numerous interviews with men who
buy feeders indicate that many Of
them will limit their perations this
year. Many of these men raise prac-
tically no hogs themselves, although
they market hundreds of them. This
does not apply to farmers in general,
who always winter a lot of brood sows
and who also often buy shoats at
sales to add to their market herds.
The short feed" idea seems to pre-
vail just now. This reduces the risk
Of heavy loss on a falling market,
leaving every chance open for profit
on turn. Many will buy feeders
which they can finish in about 60
days. Among those we note Arthur
Curme, who stated that he had re,
Gently bought So shoats that averaged
134 pounds" and can be fed to market
weight in about that time.
In addition to his feeding operations
Mr.. Curme says he wintered a nice
land brood sows, as usual. He reports
no important losses of spring pigs.
VIII Reduce Acreage.
1.-THE loss of spring pigs in this
section Of the country Is the heaviest
hoVO SNSi hho"ht Solu IIFC1StI ~
Little, of Liberty. II think conser
vative estimate of the loss would be
so per cent of the cold weather far
rowings. For myself, I shall feed
! more hogs this year than last. Have
bigger crop of fall pigs and a good
showing of spring youngsters, with
| more to come.
"No, all my friends will not follow
that lead, as some of them cut down
the number of their brood sows and
as I have said, many of them have
lost lot of spring pigs, while others
are hesitating on account of the mar
ket
while I aim to raise more hogs
will have to cut down my corn plant
ing by Is acres or more. Have 15C
acres and no one on the place to lend
hand, unless I can get help. There
are some others in the same fix; still
others who don't like conditions and
may take it a little easier. In the
main, however, it is likely that we
shall cultivate all the land we can
rightly handle"

Fertilizers Must Be Used
) For Home Garden; Learn
Holp to Pit Them On

Manure is scarce IN and around
cities. Commercial fertilizers must be
depended upon primarily for adding
fertility to garden soils. 1t pays to
use the best grade.
When the home gardener buys fer
tilizers he pays for nitrogen, phos-
phroic acid and potash, and If he can
elements in a small quantity of mater
ial, so much the better, as he will
avoid the handling of greater
weight. A fertilizer containing from
four to six per cent Of nitrogen, eight
to 10 per cent of available phosphoric
acid and three or four per cent potash
is generally recommended for use on
home gardens.
One pound to 80 feet Of row is equiv
alent to an application of 500 pounds
to the acre, an an application Of 1
pound to s feet of row is practically
equivalent to 1000 pounds Of fertilizer
to the acre.
Commercial fertilizers are high, and
no more than is absolutely necessary
should be used. Care must also be
taken in their application, as there is
constant danger of burning the roots
of the plants, especially where the
fertilizers are applied directly. The
DeSL TeSultS are Seueidlly SSCuIS GU
where the fertilizers are applied and
raked in few days before sowing the
seeds or setting the plants. In this
way they become more or less mixed
with the soil and there will be little
danger Of doing the plants an injury.
Nitrate of Soda Good.
In many sections Of the country
nitrate Of soda is used as stimulant
to force the growth of the plants after
they are started. Nitrate of soda is a
concentrated fertilizer furnishing nj
trogen, that element which makes the
green and vigorous growth in plants,
and should be used sparingly to avoid
injury. The usual custom is to scatter
a little q lib. to 100 IT, nitrate of soda
along the rows of plants and mix 1t
with the soil by means of hoe or
rake.
Another method Is to dissolve a
tablespoonful in a pailful Of water and
use this solution for watering the
plants, taking care that only small
quantity of the water is applied around
each plant 1t is vastly better to make
frequent light applications Of the nj
trate, rather than to apply too much
at one time.
