HoU S. o. S. Helped to
Win the World War

The biggest business corporation of
all time was the Service of Supplies

expeditionary forces, in France, 1917
Is.
The S. o. S. built more than 1000
miles of railroad in France; br, ught
over 1,496 locomotives and 1888 rail-
road cars; brought 135,0OC miles of
telegraph and telephone W re, which
was hung on $500 miles of poles; put
up innumerable buildings, including a
refrigerator plant for $500 tons of
meat daily, built 10000 portable bar
racks, and two hospital cities, each
with 1000 beds.
The bakeries that were built turned
out 100000 pounds of bread daily. AS

entered the cabins and cold-bloodedly
women and children-an unexcusable
massacre and in many respects as re-
voting a crime as ever the most saw
age Indians perpetrated against the
whites.
From that time on the surviving
Moravian Indians were wanderers in
Canada ard Ohio. All that time Zeis-
berger continued his work among them
and when he died in 1908 at the age
Of eighty-seven he was buried, at his
among the people he had served so
long and so well. When the thrush of
settlers flooded Ohio after the last
Indian wars in the Old Northwest,
the early settlers of Tuscarawas coun-
ty completed the work of destruction
of the fowl of Schoenbrunn. The
land was farmed over and the site of
the village was indistinguishable from
the surrounding fields. 1t became a
"lost" city until the efforts of Rev.
]. E. Weinland of the Moravian church
at Dover, Ohio, who made many trips
to Bethlehem, Pa, where he pored
over the archives of the Moravian
church, resulted in finding the data
which led to the towns "rediScovery"
in 1923. Excavations made on the
church, the schoolhouse, Zeisberger's
house and the houses of a number Of
the Indians.
TheL a movement for the reStora-
ton of the town was started. The
Eighty-ffth general assembly of Ohio
appropriated $4,000 which enabled
the Tuscarawas Historical society to
purchase most of the land on which
the town stood. The next general
assembly added $500 for three ad-
joining tracts and the last general as
sembly provided a $4,000 appropria-
ton for the actual work of restora-
ton which is being carried on in the
165-acre Schoenbrunn Memorial park
by a committee appointed by the
Ohio State Archaeological and Histor-
ical society.
One of the log cabins, that of John
Joseph Schibosh, Zeisberger's assist
ant who married an Indian woman
and whose eldest son was the first
person killed in the Gnadenhutten
massacre, was rebuilt last year. The
rebuilt schoolhouse was dedicated
July 20 of this year and the dedica-
ton of the church has been announced
for October q of this year.

Treatment for Dewberry
Same as for Blackberry

Dewberries receive much the same
treatment as the common blackberry
excepting that they must have better
protection in the winter. The plants
should be set out four to seven feet
apart, depending somewhat on the va
riety and the soil. Prune them back
to about four or five feet to keep them
from sprawling out too much and cut
the old canes out after fruiting. AL
low from four to six canes to the
plant. In winter time the vines should
be laid on the ground and protected
with straw or other material.

Buying 2-Pound Package
Bees Is Proper Method

For the average farmer or small
beekeeper, who wants to keep a few
bees or increase his apiary, there is
no better way than buying package
bees, having them come about ten
days preceding fruit bloom. If proper
ly handled, they build up rapidly to
full colony size and produce a good
crop the same season.
The two-pound package of bees with
a young queen seems to be the most
popular package. This package seems
to ship little better than heavier
one.
Before the bees arrive, have the
hives ready; then, before taking the
bees from the express Office, see that
they are in good condition. Directions
for hiving usually accompany ship
ment or can be found in any bee mag
azine or book on bees. After hiving,
feed the bees strip of $3.50 white
sugar and water, until there Is plenty
Of honey coming in from outside
sources.
