TRAINING IN CAMPS
URGED BY HARDING
Hopes Every Young Man Who
Possibly Can viii Take
Military Course.

WASHINGTON. June IL - President
Harding urges every young man who can
possibly arrange to do so to attend one
of the citizens military training camps
to be conducted by the War Depart
ment this summer. In statement made
public to-day he said:
81 hope every young man who can
arrange II will attend one of the cit
izens' military training camps to be
conducted this summer by the War De-
partment in each of the nine army corps
areas.
'In this way ne will increase his
worth to the nation and obtain individ-
ual BENEFITS OF priceless value TO him
self and to the community in which he
lives.
II hope TO see esta blished during my
Administration a comprehensive system
of voluntary military training for at
least 100000 men each year. Every
young man who is willing 10 prepare
himself for the defence OF his country
should be given an opportunity TO do so.
"Our present national defence law es-
tablished an economical and democratic
military policy thoroughly consistent
with our national traditions. 1t pro-
vides for small regular army. to be
augmented by great citizen forces in
the event Of national emergency. This
is our traditional military policy. But
whereas IN the past these larger war
forces have been extemporiZed after the
occurrence OF an emergency the new
law wisely provides that the framework
of their organization shall be established
and developed in time of peace in so far
as this Is practicable through the volun-
tary service of our patriotic young nen.

defined in the new law. comprises the
regular army, the National Guard and
the organized reserves. Every patriotic
citizen should encourage the develop
ment of these forces. each within its
proper sphere"

IDLE AGITATOR FLAYED

Breeds Class Hatred, Says
Syracuse Educator.

SYRACUSE. June 12-Condemnation OF
class hatred featured the baccalaureate
sermon delivered to-day by DIR. James
Roscoe Day, who last week resigned the
chancellorship Of Syracuse University
There is no trouble with the people
until the Idle agitator comes among them
to teach them that the prosperous have
stolen what they have from the less
prosperous" Chancellor Day said The
logic OF which Is that the poor are poor
because they have not had square
chance to steal from their neighbors.
There Is nothing more flattering to
a man than to tell him his failures in
life are not due to himself but to others
or to wrong condition and economy
among his fellowmen. 1t is flatterlng,
but it is false and fatal. Wherever 1t
has been reduced to practice 1t has
strewn its path with mire."

DON'T CROWD GROWING CHICK
Where Space Is Limited Youngsters Become Overheated, Causing
 Outbreak of Colds.

Growing chicks must not be contine~' to crowded quarters at night. If ther are, they will become overhested anC this, in turn, will lead to the develop ment of colds of which 1t is very diff cult to rid the flock and which may be carried along through the summer and fall causing serious outbreak of colds in the laying locks the fol lowing winter.
 How can one tell whether or not the chickens have enough room? One of the best indications Is the condi ton of the plumage. If the plumagt Is bright and clean 1t Ia a good sign that the birds are doing well and have room enough. If the plumage Is soiled by droppings, It is an indication thHt there Is not room enough for all of them on the roosts with the result that some are compelled to rest OF the floor beneath the roosts and thus become sOlled
 A trip to the growing houses after dark will also determine whether enough room Is being provided, Ii there is not space enough so that all the chickens can find room on the roosts, the quarters are too crowded and some of the chickens must be taken out. If all can find room on the roosts comfortably and if the house is well ventilated, the quarters are not crowded and the youngsters should do well

 Under the terms of this order no skeleton regiments will be maintained in the regular army, but the 10000 men allowed by congress will he con centrated in fully manned, effective units, while surplus units will be placed "out of commission" and the surplus officers assigned to the organ ization and training of the National Guard and reserve corps.
 An examination of the statute" ." says the Weeks order shows that the new law is based on the idea that in the future. as in the past, great wars Are to be fought, in the main, by armies composed of citizen soldiers. We still have the conception of a small regular army in time of peace.

CLOSE APPROACH TO REASON
Observations Have Shown That Or dinary Varieties of Ants Are Real
 ly Highly Developed Mentally.

If ants do not reason, they have some mental process allied to reason ing remarks the Indianapolis News. A North side householder became in- tereSted in watching q colony of large ants foraging on his lawn for food. The ants were about quarter of an inch long, yet many of them were car rying insects much larger than them selves to their home in the ground. Up and down and oversthe grass stalks they travelled with their burdens.
 The spectator became interested in one ant in particular which was trans porting the body of green grasshop- per, at least twice the size of the ant The grasshoppers long hind legs, armed with hooks. were continually catching on Instructions. The ant would stop, reconnoiter, change it's grasp and go ahead.
 When the burden bearer reached the entrance to the ant domicile compli- cations arose. In astemoting to take the grasshopper dowrl sidewise the hind legs caught on the edges of the opening. After considerable worry on the part of the ant that had brought the food thus far, second ant came up out of the ground. It looked the situation over carefully. then 1t delib- erately set to work severing the of- lending legs, and the rest was easy. The grasshopper was soon resting in the ant larder, far below the surfaca of the ground.

It will be noted that the closets are unusual having been designed to accommodate space saving clothes hangers, which gives capacity for great number of gar ments in small space.
 Above the second floor there is large amount of attic space, the roof being high enough so that more rooms may be partitioned off by the use of Wallboard, The dormer projections and windows in the roof also help make this space available for sleep ing rooms, or for playrooms and stor- age.

 Farm families oftentimes are large for the reason that accommodations are not only needed for the members of the family of the owner, but for ;he hired help aS well, For that req son the average farmhouse is larger than the average town or city house.

HOW TO FIGURE
 COST OF CROPS
Farmer Enabled to Compute for Himself Expense of Produc-
 ing Various Crops.
REQUIREMENTS OF EACH CROP
if Precise Records Are Not Available on Labor and Material Expendi- lures Close Estimate Can Be
 Made of That Section.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Asriculture)
 Figures from which the farmer can compute for himself the cost of pro duction of corn, corn for silage, wheat, oats, and hay, under given conditions, are presented in preliminary report on labor and material requirements of those crops. recently issued by the United States Department of Agricui- ture These figures cover the normal hours of man labor and horse labor, and quantities of seed, fertilizers, etc, required per acre for each crop. as determined by surveys by the office or farm management and farm ecOnom- ics.
 Apply Basic Factors.
 The money cost is found by apply rates for labor, seed, etc. lnasmuch as 1t has been found that, in general, labor and material costs approximate so per cent of the total operating cost for these crops, it Is easy to find this total when the labor and material costs are known.
 The figures given represent average crop requirements for the regions where investigations have been made If the farmer does not have precise records of labor and material eXpendl- lures for his own farm. he can esti- mate them pretty closely by taking the average for his own region as basis and applying current rates for labor and materials. with due allowance Tor any unusual conditions that may exist in his own case. The method of com putatlon Is as follows:
 l. Determine the total cost of labor and material per acre by applying cur rent rates to the quantities of labor and materials obtained from the In Hvidual's own records, or, If such are not available, use those given in the table.
 ?. Determine the total operating ex pense per acre by dividing the cost of labor and material by the percentage figure giSen for each region.
 3. Determine the total acre cost of production by adding the interest charge or the cash rent paid for the use of land.
 4 To determine the cost per bushe or ton divide the total acre cost by the yield per acre

that the work of caring for a house of this size may be done with the least amount of effort.
 The materials necessary for the con struction of this house always are carried in stock by local lumber deal CTS. as the size of the house is such that lumber of standard dimensions may be used without waste. The siding that adds to the exterior ap- pearance of the house is of standard clapbOards.
 Building costs have been reduced materially during the last few months; also where there was short age of lumber a year ago, all dealers now have full stock. The cost of this house may be determined by con sultlng the local material dealer and the contractor.
