Although stating he was more
interested in actual disarmament
than in control of private manu-
facture, Davis assured American

For Community
Fire Protection

A few years ago, the farmers liv-
ing near small Michigan town de-
cided to end the losses that they were
suffering from fire because Of lack OF
FIRE department protection. Although
a fire truck was maintained III the
nearby town, insurance regulations
prohibited it from leaving the town
limits.
In conjunction with the nearby town
these farmers formed an association
to purchase a modern fire truck. Part
of the cost was paid by the town be-
cause it received increased protection
The rest was raised by small individ-
ual subscriptions from farmers within
radius of five miles. The cost OF
furnishing firemen, and maintaining
and housing the truck, was borne by
the town.
The farmers who subscribed to the
fire protection fund became bona fide
members of the Fire Protection asso-
citation, and were entitled to protection
for the life of the truck with no fur
ther charges to pay. This plan was
based upon the recommendations OF
the Agricultural Committee of The
National Fire Waste Council for rura
fire protection, approved by local ant
national fire insurance companies.
Wherever fire broke out on the farm
OF any subscriber, the fire apparatus
was at once ready to go to his assist
ance. Within a few months the fir
truck had paid many times its cost il
property saved.
This community fire protection plai
! has been adopted by hundreds of
small communities and is more needed
today than ever before, when the farm
home represents the total usable as
sets of thousands of American famil
les. Efficient and powerful fire truck
capable of doing so miles an hour
/ have been designed and built especial
/ ly for farm fire protection. They ar
equipped with special water and chem
ical tanks for first aid and for u.s.
where a water supply is not available
I What blessing for rural communi
ties to know that when fire breaks out
a telephone call will bring firemen an
apparatus to save their property an
possibly the lives of their families.

STATES AND u. S. TRYING
TO
STOP BLACK BASS SALE

Washington, d. C. = Sportsmen,
conservationists, state and federal
governments, in trying to stamp out
commercial fishing Of the black bass,
one Of the principal game fishes of
this country, are attempting to get
a uniform provision inserted into the
laws of every state, prohibiting the
commercial taking, transportation and
sale Of these game fish, according to
bulletin of the American Game AS
sociation.
Fourteen states are to consider
adopting such regulations as are
needed, during the sessions of their
legislature this year. These are Ar
kansas, Delaware, Florida, Missouri,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Rhode
Island, West Virginia, Indiana, Ten
nessee, South Carolina, Utah, New
Mexico and Maryland.
The black bass, it has been con-
clusively proved, is worth approxim-
ately IS pound as a lure to anglers.
The usual commercial market price is
10 or Is cents a pound. The revenue
paid by anglers pursuing the bass is
distributed to a large number of in
terests ranging from railroad fare to
a small boy to paddle boat, and it
amounts to millions Of dollars annu-
ally. Some 100000 is spent ev-
cry year for sport fishing in this
country; the black bass carries q
major portion of this golden harvest
on his bronze back. The market val
ue Of the bass is so small in compar-
ison that it is insignificant; yet
through influence and strong lobbies
in state legislatures, handful OF
commercial fishermen have managed
in many states to defeat all attempt:
to stop commercial fishing of the
bass, according to officials of the as
sociation.

CHEAP FISHING LICENSES 4
LURE MORE TOURISTS
+ i + + + + + /. + + + + + 4

Washington, ID. C.-Holding out
hunting and fishing as lure to tour
lists and visitors, state governments,
sportsmen and chambers of commerce
are making efforts to put non-resi
dent hunting and fishing licenses up
on reasonable basis, according to a
bulletin Of the American Game Asso
citation. Nonresident hunting license
fees now run all the way from $40
to $50 in some states. The trend is
to reduce the amount for such sport
ing licenses, and also to issue a short
term license that will. accommodate
the tourist, fixing the fee at frac-
ton of the cost Of the full season
nonresident license, so as to at
tract more visitors.
In order to encourage the tourist
and visitor to come to their states,
at least eight states already have
adopted special short-term or tour
lists" licenses for fishermen, and one
state has provided a short-term IL
cense for hunters. The eight states
and their fees are: Arizona, combina.
ton nonresident hunting and fishing
license for. all season $40, or a b.
day license for $3.50; Arkansas, non
resident fishing license for all sea.

Kansas, nonresident fishing icens,

license for all season SIS, or four

fishing license for season $5.15, or 80
days for $3.15; Missouri, nonresident
I fishing license for So or Is days for
81; Oklahoma, nonresident fishing Ii
i cense $5, or ten-day license for SIPS;
Texas, nonresident fishing license $5
or five-day license for $1.10.
4 Maryland now has bill before its
legislative body to create non-res-
ident hunting license good for five
days for $3.50, one-third of the regu
lar all-season hunting license.
States would collect more money
and avoid many violations if theil
nonresident license fees were KEEP
within reason, say approximatel!
$40 for small game hunting and S;
for the average fishing; short-tern
license good for about five day
should not cost more than half tn,
full season fee, officials of the as
sociation point out.

How to(frOW
Head Lettuce

Head lettuce battles most amateur
gardeners. To grow it is a feat to
brag about. The usual cause of fail
ure is late start. 1t should be
sown in an indoor box A box for
starting seeds is called "flat," be-
cause it is shallow. Four inches of
soil is all that is required and a box
five inches high is about right. 1t
may be 18 by "a inches or larges,
but the smaller size is more easily
handled.
A light loan, sifted and contain
ing plenty of sand, should be used to
fill the box. The bottom of the box
must have holes bored in it for drain
age, or be made Of slate. Cover the
holes with pieces of broken pottery
or large pebbles. Put in four inches
of soil and firm it with brick.
Make the top smooth and mark off
straight drills or grooves in the soil
about three inches apart. Sow the
lettuce seed in the drills, not too
thickly. Firm the soil over the seed,
water the box by letting it down
into tub Of water so that the water
does not cover the top of the soil but
soaks thoroughly into the entire body
Of soil. Let the surplus water drain
away.
The box should be placed in dark,
fairly warm place and the soil kept
moist by sprinkling with fine spray
until the seeds sprout. Then it should
be given all the light possible. The
seeding plants of lettuce should have
cool place go to 70 degrees) and
plenty Of light to prevent them grow
ing too fast. The directions here
given apply generally to starting
seeds indoors, and most seedlings
need a fairly cool place, with all the
light possible If light is remote
they will stretch out in search of it,
and if the place is too warm, their
growth will be forced and weak.
Head lettuce plants do not need
transplanting indoors unless they
come along so fast that they are
crowding each other in the box be-
fore it is possible to set them in the
garden To transplant them indoors
lift the tiny seedlings with the blade
of knife, taking soil with the roots
and set them in another flat, allow
ing each plant two inches in the row
the rows about three inches apart.
Need of Rich Soil
The seedlings should be set out il
the garden as soon as the soil can be
prepared. The soil must be the rich
est you have, and ought to have {
liberal dose of fertilizer, preferabl!
, well rotted barnyard manure. Let
tuce is a gros feeder, and your tasl
is to make it grow fast, so that i
will come to tight head before the
hot weather arrives. The bed mus
be rich and there must be way o.
watering it when the rains are SLOW
in coming. The plant should be il
the ground outside as soon as lettuc'
seed can be sown in the outdoor gar
den; and reserve supply should b.
kept under protection because th'
!. first lot often perishes in a belatet

Citizens Military
Training Group
Quotas Completed

The exceedingly heavy advanced en-
rollment for the 1888 Citizens Mill
tary Training Camps, to be held in the
Fifth Corps Area, has made it advis-
able to cause publication of notice to
all county chairmen and other procure
ment agencies to discontinue accept
ance of applications.
Brigadier General Geo. H. Jamerson
in temporary command of the Fifth
Corps Area, directed that this action
be taken in order to curtail the num-
Der of boys who are due to be disap-
pointed in applying for enrolment.
All counties have exceeded their al
lotted quotas. Nine thousand applica-
tions have been received at Corps
Area headquarters to date and they
continue to come in at the rate of sew
eral hundreds per day. The camps
have combined capacity for accom-
mediation of only 1000 trainees.
The opening date for enrolment Of
new applicants, that is, those who have
not attended previous camp, IS
March first Anxiety to obtain prior
ity and the publicity given camps by
congressional debate on the question
of their discontinuance, are factors
contributing to the heavy premature
enrolment, according to General JAM
erson.
\ Prospective applicants throughout
the Corps Area will be advised after
today that it is useless to apply.
The normal G. M. T. Camps are a
separate and distinct activity from
the special camps for unemployed boys
proposed in the Senate by Senator
Couzens. Final action by Congress on
these latter camps has not been taken.
