The other day Kearny and I had a shaje and-s halrcat by.a lady barber. It was a: cletin Job and only cost a franc and j e n ' cents. Madamoselle âsked "Coupes voas^toul ccla?" and I said "Oul," so she cut It all off. Generally, "the people say tbat Americans have plenty of money and charge accordingly. Their,money system is peculiar. Each city, so It seems. issues-Its owiv cprrency and the government bicks them up. ^ ' "

The Uttle fellows have great, sport getting you to fish for minnows or shiners in the river. Two or three of tbem turn up the stones for little fish worms; another will' clap his hands and say "Monsieur, polssou." Then he wi l l g ive you a rod with a bob on It and ask,you to cast It for. him. As ôon as you have caught a.minnow, he wUl.take It and add It to tbe ten or flfteen others which he has dan|;llng (rom a stick. Altogether they are such a merry lot of kids and dressed so funny that you cannot help laughing at them and the more you' laugh the better they like you.

You should see the women washing their clothes. Each Tjrasher kneels In a little box 'at the water's edge. First she scrubs ithe garment with a brush, thed she soaks it in the w a t e r , and finishes by turning the d o t h around on the board and spanking It. with a -wooden paddled As soon as. this Is done shfe wrings out the garment and puts It In a Uttle tub on a_.wheelbar-row. - Towards night or early In thtf morning you can often see the washers trundling small barrows oyer the stones and hanging out the wash on the ballngs.

The villagers do not do much cooking, but buy all their bread at the shop. Here the baker has a strange

'S>-stem of bookkeeping. Each famliy has a separate stick hung on a rail behind the counter. After the purchaser presents his food check the baker takes the stick and cuts a new notch on the side. After so many marks are made the family credit is exhausted.

One thing we cannot buy and that Is hiilk, though we live near a place where they sell It. Yon can see the old women ot the neighborhood coming with their cans and pitchers, twice dally: The cattle are driven through the streets by, little girls or by the old womsn. They certainly are flne looking beasts, and look as though they might give rlifh mllk, but nbt miich of tt, - •

The stock in general is' superior. Most of the horses are percherons, flne handsome animals. The cows are mainly creamy white or red and white. O.xen are yoked by means of a beam tied to their heads.

England, iuly, 1918, Since my arrival have seen quite a

Httle of the country. Everything seems so small and compact that you mlss the breadth and openness of the states. All of the (arms and flats are k,ep^ In the neatest and trimmest condition. The. hills are dotted with small fields divided by low hedges or stone walls, as straight as a die, and the grround is cultivated to the wall. There are no bushy plots except on the ©states or "waste moorlaiids. Nearly everyone has some cattle—Devon, Hereford, Durham and Guernsey, Al-

-most all the pastures are free of stone. Nearly all farms grow two or three flelds to oats or barley. These are sown In drills and not scattered broadcast. The hay Is in ricks atid the best farms have sheds with galvanized or corrugated roof to protect it. The orchards are not like ours, but smaller. The trees are set closer together and the ground Is cultivated to the trunks. In most of the plum and pear blocks, potatoes and turnips are sown. The tfees look to be very old, but are carefully pruned. There' seems to be no dead or decaying wood and the cuts are thoroughly seamed over. So far I have seen but few apples and these are small. You may buy a few from a vendor in a two-wheeled gig tor a tuppence,

I have seen but few wooden buildings, all are of stone or brick. The factory houses are mainly brick cottages, alike,.'«rlth garden plots In the rear. Nearly all have some flowers add most of them are bowers of roses. The country houses are of stone, otten thatched or with stone roots. Poppies groiw wild over the countryside and along the roads. The moors are being reclaimed, but still there are acres of purple heather. Larkspur, cantaberry-bells, mallows, daffodils grow in abundance. The estates are wonderful places with manor houses set back in "oak or beech groves and herds ot sheep grrazlng on the lawns. So far I have seen two castles In the distance and numerous old towers that look likb ancient watch places,. Myrtle and I ^ grow over ruins and 'along road cuts. Canals run through all the low parts and frequently you can see little rounded or, egg-shaped boats going through the locks.

Some parts ot the land are mostly of limestone foundation. The kilns are net back In deep borings. The farms have pita In tbe pastures where men haul out material and burn It In sniall piles in the flelds.

Since leaving the "marmalade" ship I hav« seen much sadness, but every-

"7«ire waves to yoo'"Bnd wishes you Odd-speed. Old tads take lOff their hata and the kiddles press your hand and say good-bye. This morning some of us boughtT cake,s or gingerbread for a shilling. It ,,'was good but made ot black strap and coarse gronnd founda-ttoa. Rye or graham' biscuit sell readU ly and'a vendor Is soon stripped of his Mad, The currency Is a little dlfflcult to become accustomed to hut you,sbon gel used to It. '

The. entertainment for the beneflt of the Red Cross of Brookline on Friday evening, August 23, proved a success In many ways. The boys from Camp Devens.were greatly enjoyed tind gave au entertainment ot high class, .Private Feeney, the tenor singer, sang very flnely and one could teU by his voice that he had been connected with thc Savage Opera Co. Private Frankel at the piano gave some very fine selections. Private Wallens was surely all right and his witty songs and- acting was greatly enjoyed by all and kept the audience In peals ot laughter. The Camp Devens orchestra deserve much credit for their playing. The boys were under the charge ot F, M, Claytoii of the Y^ M, C, A„ who has much cause to be proud of them, "While it is Impossible to tell just how much was cleared b.v the committee it is somewhere between $30 and S40 dollars, but that vvill be announced next weak.

"He tnen imr; duced Miss Mary B. Lent, director jf public-health nursing, who talked ;",-nearly, au, hour In so interesting a manner-that all In the auJi-ace w-jiiid have beeu glad to have wr cor,;iiip,.-longer. j

She tofd ot contagion, 'it infe. ' . ij . and. how It is carried trom one pia-.-to another, how epidepiics a.-e started. how the health ol soldiers in tiu camps had been Jeopardized by con-tact with civilian population au! spoke particularly of the epidemics 0; measles at Camp Devensi many cases of which proved fatal, A great loss ot precious lives which we could ill atford to lose. She said there was too little attention given to Infantile diseases—cases not reported and proper tiuarantine not established. Soldiers visiting at these places wheVe there may be measles, mump^, chicken pox, etc , become Infected and thus carries the ,contagloti back to camp and an epidemic is started among the soldiers, often resulting In a tearful loss of life. She Illustrated by several stories of actual happenlags, where this had happened by.lack of quarantine and thoughtlessly Ignoring proper precaution and sane means ot prevention, -

Of course the meeting -tvas for the purpose ot awakening Interest in the procuring ot a health nurse for the town and it is quite likely something will be done about it at the next town meeting, it not before. At the close of MIss Lent's remarks the, meeting became informal and questions were" asked and answered"ln a manner highly instructive and pleasing to all.

DEMOCRACY BEING TESTED Victory Over Teuton Deipjtism a Mat.

By HERBERT QUICK. It has become a common saying that

democracy la Inefflcient, We have often read that It takes a despotism to do things.

The Germans believed that they could win this war and conquer tho world for two reasons; flrst. because, lp spite of some things which look democratic, the German empire Is a despotism; and, second, because It Is tbe first despotism In the history of w e world which has reached a very nlth point In general physical and IMntal development. They and many P«ople in tho democratic countries beUeved that they could win against the democracies of the world.

Democracy, they saldi would be tê aavll; despotism the hammer, •

Democracy would ' be the whale; despotism would be the swordfish. , Democracy would be the target; despotism the gun.

Democracy would be the doer: despotism the wolf.

Democracy the huge, unwieldy graz-' Ing animal; despotism the flesh eater "With fangs and claws.

gives to our boys In the field that magniflcent dash, and vim, and power whicil haa atruck the German soldlors w l l h i i jmi iy .

In ijthor words, -^/luniiix thin war Is a inatt...r ot money.

It is u matter ot nioney not only for the treasury or the L'nli-id States, but tor all our allies.

When you buy a Liberty bond or a War Saving.i Stamp It means money for th'.- United States treasury,

Whon you pay your Income taxes or any of your other contributions to the governinent it means money fgr tho United Suten ireaHury,

But money Is only a representative of value and a medium ot exchange. Do not look upon your dollar as a mere pieco ot currency. Do not look upon the United States treasury as a .-nere repository of your funds.

E,xtracts from Letter. When the Boston and .Maine rail

road 'A'ere guarding their bridges in 1917, the soldiers on guard here were from Worcester, and the Worcester Telegram of August 27th prints a letter from Private Francis A, Perry, (rom France, who w"as one ot the guards here, and it tells ot the death of Corp. Roy J. Ducharme. As tbese were both so well known hereabouts we copy (rom the paper: Under the date ot July 29, Private Perry writes: • Dear Old Sldeklcker—Just a couple ot lines. Bob, letting you know that I have been wounded and am now lying comfortable in a hospital. I was wounded In the back and my right leg; above the knee, "My leg wound is the worst, aa my cords are all torn up and I guess it will be sometime before I am all right again,

Charles Green is in the next bed to me. He was also wounded in the lett ankle, Bert Whitaker. Bates, Roy Ducharme and Harold Simmons were the ones that I know of as having been killed,

"Vou .know we went over the top on Saturday. July 20, at three o'clock, and maybe John Boche didn't catch hell for the length of time I was in the scrap, I only went 200 yards before I got hit, but stood up on my knees, hollering and yelling for them to give the devils hell until I was hit again in the leg.

You talk about going through h e l l -well It is exactiy what we did. Believe me, Bob. I hope I'll neverhave to go through such, a horrible affair again. What was worse than that was to see the guys falling all around'you, some dead, some with their bodies all blown to pieces, some groaning—It was an awtul sight. We just seemed to eat up the bullets frora the German machine guns and the shrapnel trom the artillery, I lay In a shell hole tor about seven hours after I w-as wounded before I was taken off the fleld on a stretcher, I wondered whether I was going to bleed to" death or not because I bled like a stuck pig. Maybe you think I wasn'-t glad when I reached the dressing station. I am lying on my back and getting tired, so must close,-

Corp. Ducharme was a flne fellow and made many friends while In Still River. Everyone liked him and his death brings the horrors ot the war home to us here in almost as sorrowful manner as If he was a Still River boy. ; •". ,

They aiso learned to manage the boat and canoe and fishing brought fairly good luck, one of the youngest of the boys landing a 22-inch pickerel.

Surprises for Despotism. The splendid reslstence of Belgium

and France, the magniflcent rallying ot Great Britain to the trumpet call, aad the Intrepid decision ot Italy to Join In resistance to the German attack, wera the greatest surprises which up to that time had ever been encountered by a despot. Before the war had beeii going on' for six months some of the wisest of the cold and cruel minds of Germany began to wonder whether after all the 'democracies of the world were not too strong to be overcome.

And then came tbef^lggest surprise of the war. The greatest democracy ot the world—the United States—slojv. Iy began to reallre that the whole cause of freedom for the common man, not only in Europe and In Asia, but here in America, were at stake In this war. Slowly the Idea began to penetrate" tha American mind that the machinations ot Germany constitute 6. greater peril to this country than did the Issue fought out In the American revolution or the decisive strife of our own war between the states,

America saw at last that It Gennany wins this war democracy -will have tailed; not only the democracy ot European countries, but the democracy ot the world. There would be nothing left for us through all the future but a losing flght against the most cruel and efficient despotism ot all time.

And flnally. In spite ot our own peaceful history, In spite ot our own love of peace, in spite ot -German lies and German propaganda, and the damnable plots ot German spies, the United States acted.

Thc nation reached slowly for the sword, drew it, and plunged with all her mighty power into thit dreadful fray,

.Ani so. on some of the bloodiest battleflelds that ever desolated the soli of any country, our sptendld American soldiers are bearing the Stars and Stripes to victory,

DE.MOCRACY IS PROVIXG ITSELF EFFICIENT,

They carry the Stars and Stripes to victory alongside the flags' ot Great Britain, France, Italy and a score of other nations, becauae fhey know that they are flghting the old battle of right against 'wrong, of democrapy against despotism, and that It they lose, the whole history ot the United States becomes at once as it it never had been.

Democracy is Proving Efficient. That ia the thing which musl strike

terror to the hearts of the poisoners, violators and baby killers ot Berlln,

We have met and vanquished the submarine. We are now placing in Uio fleld In Europe our second million at mea, and back of that second million there Is a third million, a fourth million, a fltth million and still other nllllons of men.

W9 have shown ourselves efllclent in production. We have more than made good our promise to send food to our allies. We have organized our Industries for war.

Wo have flrmly resoive-l that having drawn the sword w? w-ill throw away Che scabbard and n«ver sheath that sword except In rictor,T

Victory a Matter of Money. But this war Is 1 proBre^slve thing.

It cannot be »)n ihronph things we have done, b'jt v.-.xxit h" carried on to victory throuRh •hing'; -shlch wo must do In tho future On one side w» tee that splendii ixn- nf vouag men 6ar-rylng our hannor< in t!i" battleflfld* ot Prance and F:an.!ers On the other side we m'i>' re;-,i.T,',lier that war, and this war more than any other Irar which w»n «ver wa([»d, l« a matter Of food, of ahePler. >t clothing, ot manU tloas, ot wnapons, nf roads, of e a . gines, ot cars, of .«hip<. ot hospitals, ot medlclni^H, and of everything which

Optimistic Thought. Sound reason is given to few, but

tbose few exert influence.

Distinctly American Product. Indian corn, or maize, which Is nnl

versally called corn, is native to America, Colnmhus intrnduri-il It In Boi^pe.

Daily Thought ' To snpplunt wo. ivith Joy In n single heart Is to s-.verve creation nearer to the divine plan,—Vouth's Companion.

Our Treasury Upholding World. The United States treasury today

Is the god atUis who holds the world upon his shoulders.

It furnishes money to everyone ot our allies which needs money. It breathes hope and confldence Into any anied army which Is losing heart. It puts in the flelcf-the great gun which answers the German gun with shot tor shot. It keeps our armies going for-jvard Instead ot backward. It holds the line against the German onslaught.

The treasury of the United States is the Jiower behind our own army and all the armies of our allies.

During the coming year this nation must raise »24.000,OOOr.OOO. We have called tbese loans In the paat Liberty loans. It Is about time to begin calling them "Victory loans. "Whatever we call'them. however, J24.000.000,000 daring the next year the United Statea govemment must have to. carry out our great, magniflcent and world-saving program. About $16,000,000,000 ot this must be raised by'loans, and J8.000,-000,000 by taxation.

If we" do not raise this money the United States treasury will have failed, and -when the'Unlted States treasury falls the war Is lost. If the •war Is lost, democracy Is l o s t^ the world Is lost.

The raising of this $24,000,000,000 ia a tremendous task. It is the supreme test of the greatness of America. " Must Give Half Our Earnings.

The whole earning power ot thla country Is about $50,000,000,000 a year; so that- out of every $50 produced In this country during the next year the govemment must have $24. The division ot our wealth' during the next year must be practically on a 50-50 basis with the government,

N'ow. anyone can see that this thing must be done.

IT MUST BE DO.ME! Anyone^can see that If we give 50

per cent of all we produce to the government we cannot live as we always have lived.

During the past year or so we havo Jnst been scraping up the loose change and handing It to the government to linance the war. We must now go to the very heart ot our ability and give until this great piece of financial work Is accomplished.

He who pays taxes fn whatever form they may rest upon him, must pay. and pay cheerfully, to make up-that $8,000,000,000 which j?e must raise by taxation

He who has money must Invest It In Liberty bonds and War Savings stamps, so as to furnish his share of that $16,000,000,000 which the govern, ment must borrow.

He who has no money to invest must save, and Invest his savings.

Must Become Even Stingy, We must become a saving, an eco.

nomlcal, a thrifty, a stingy nation towards everything but war.

We must go ragged and shabby. We must turn and dye and renovate

our old clothes. We must postpone repairs and bet

terments. We must put ott the building ot tha

new house. We must do those things only which

are of productive value. We must economize In motor cars.

In gasoline and In all forms of fuel. We must burn wood where possible.

If we burn coal we must sift the ashes We must simplify and cheapen our

diet. We must cut out luxuries and things

wh,ch are unnecessary, We must have our shoes patched

and wear them as long as they will hanj together.

We muat buy nothing which must be shipped over the railroads, except where necessary.

We must draw otir supplies from the nearest point.

We must live like misers and work like horses.

We must regard the smallest economy as ot the most tremendous Importance, no matter -whether we are rich or poor.

We must save electricity. We must spend our vacations at

home. We must get alone '"ithout hired

help except In case of absolute necen-ilty or for tho promo:,on of producUon,

We must put nothins i,ivable In the tarbage barrel.

We must recover fr v • e.irhaKc er-srything savabie pu' ri- -

We must throw nve-- ,rl all the dead weight of life -lo -: c tlie ship may not sink

We must .Itrip Surselvoj ; , xiie si<|n ot everythinK which, hamp-irs our movements, -10 that we may win this flght. -:-Thls-nation during tho nexf year must become an athlete, abjuring ev . ery luxury, living on the plainest food, eating nothinK drinking nothing, wearing nothing except that which will make for vlcuiry.

On the complaints for iJ.sturbing the peace tbey were found m,; guilty and discharged. The coi:,i.:i;ir,ant was Herman McDowell, a .vn :;h employed by the town as a dri..,- of one of Its teams. He said that last week Friday he "Was working on Pieasant street with town laborers and was In charge of his team,. The defendants came along In an automobile and demanded that he give them more room in which to get by the team, Tracy brought his car to a stop after his demand, got out of thc automobile and st'ruck and, shook the youthful drive.-; Either of the defendants had little to say In contradiction to- the complainant's testimony.

Simon Harris, of Littleton, answered to a complaint for violation', ot the town by-laws regarding the procurement of a license to run a public automobile In Ayer.

W. C. C. S. Jiotes. As the work of War Camp Commu

nity Service has many varieties of activities, it "R"as found nepessary to devise a means whereby all these activities could t>e readily brought to the notice of the enlisted man. This has been accomplished by means of bulletins and joy-books. The bulletin is publlsbed weekly and posted where the soldier can easily read it. This gr.es him complete information of the activities for the week. By this means the soldier Is' able to select whateve.- most appeals to him.

The joy-book is published for the soldier and also for his friends. In the joy-book mention Is made of all activities connected 'With'War Camp Community Service, places of interest near the cantonment, how to obtain accommodations for a night, where good food may he had. information about trains, street cars, roads for jnotor travel; in a word, the jo.v-book is to furnish as much as possible a complete guide for the soldier and his friends 'when on leave from the cantonment.

The following, from New "i'ork city, well Illustrates how carefully information is given for men unacquainted with New York:

"New York's Village Green" "All roads lead to Rome" w-as true

once; nowadays all roads in New York lead to Times square after sunset.

Times siiuare is the heart ot our village, and everybody comes downtown ot an evenrng after supper to see W"hat is going on. There's really quite a bit doin', and the village green Is quite cheetful-Iikc of an evening.

The s.iuare fills the intersection of Broadway and Seventh avenue from 42nd to 47th streets, and has morc theatres, hotels, cabarets, and such sprinkled around it than any similar spot on earth, ?o they say, .It gets its name from the twenty-six-story Times buildinp 'Wher.' the "Times" was formerly p-jhlished.

"A tempest In a teapof'would be an appropriate title to court proceedings Monday morning In the cases of Byron J. Mllroy and John Wills of Pepperell, who were arraigned before Charles F. Worcester, associate justice, on complaints for mutual assault and bat-

.tery. The former was found guilty and fined five dollars. Wills was found not guilty and discharged.

The complainant against Mllroy. was David Belyea, who produced Wills as a witness. When Wills arrived at court Mllroy preferred a complaint against him for assaplt and battery. The trouble which resulted in their appearance In court occurred -at tbe mill of the Nashua River Paper Co., In Pepperell, where they are employeil.

Chief Smith testified to being called to the mill last Saturday after the fracas occurred. He then learned that Mllroy, who was engaged In putting on felt on a machine, had gone to an'other room, where Belyea and Wills were. to get some water. As the day was warm Mllroy suggested that the water be let run from the faucet in order to. have it cold. A dispute and the alleged assault follow-ed.

Belyea stated that Milroy came into the room where he was for a drink of water with which he found fault. After words between them the witness said that Milroy grabbed him. by the throat and choked him. Wills testified to about the same effect as Belyea.

Milroy, a bright, clean appearing man, said that following the dispute over the water he pushed Belyea aside after Belyea had called him a "damned tramp." He denied grabbing the defendant and choking him. Belyea came back with the retort that he did not call Mllroy a "damned tramp," but a "damned crank,"

. M»ry_ BriiSaoa,; of Fitchburg, and PrIvate'MllUr,'ot Camp Devens, w..re found guilty of a serious offense. Th.-woman was" conunltted to the Ka.st Cambridge Jsirfor'thr.;e months. The soldier was given ovtr lo the miiit.iry authorities at th,e ump, win-;.- •;,' case" will be attended t-,.

'work of many kinds, evening educational classes, smoking and reading rooms, camera clubs, debating dubs. 1014 classes In tbe physical culture department and various purely social organizations,

"With demands for "»"nr ,servioe In Boston this mammoth union on Boylston street was one ot the first to ofTcr Its co-operation to the War Camp Communitj Service, and Its co-operation

tlon that It suppiles and has been supplying for many years to men in civil life. There are dormitories* shower baths, reading and correspondence rooms. Information bureati and pool room, all aiding to make the club attractive and a favorite headquarters for the men In khaki and blue. One department in which the young women of the Y. W. C. A. co-operate provides for the convenience of women reia tlves and friends ot the soldiers and sailors.

A large general lounge hung with

tained, nnd tobacco and confectionery are always on sale. The great settles near the- fireplace aire most popular, and the men look with a gleam of satisfaction at the are Irons when thej: leam that tbey. -hall from Interned German ships. -Wso there Is. added satisfaction In sinking down In steamer chairs since they, too. come from the same .source.

is the big thing m New York. We slept in a hotel In the beart of the city with a bath, for 23 cents Saturday night, breakfast for 10 cents, or 30 cents for the best, including ham and eggs. At 9 a, m. the street In front was lined up at both sides with automobiles, some busses, and wa took seats, no crowding, and started out to see Uie city. Each of us had 5 guide book with the important places shown. Each car bnd plenty of cigarettes of the best kind, cigars, and one of the cars had a beautlriil young gin, who delighted In showing the boys the important places. The car was hers, and her chiiufreur was driving. . I cnnnot start to enumerate the different sights, but we saw all of Fifth Avenue, Riverside Drive. Central Park, Woolworth BuUdlng, where we went to the top, 58 stories, and took a view of the city; saw the Tombs. Bridge of Sighs, the East Side. Bowery. Chinatown and lota and lots of other Important places.

"On Riverside Drive we got off nnd had our pictures taken and visited Grant's Tomb. The visit to the tomb, which is a $650,000 one. was very Impressive, as everyone walked in on their toes, hats off. and Lf they spoke It was only in a whisper. No orders to be quiet, but it reininded me of some one Just passed away. The tomb seems to be built in the prettiest part of New York, overiooklng the Hudson, with I'ailsade Park, on the other side of the river. The park is on a hillside and at night Is very nicely illuminated.

"At l"2 ;.30 p. m. we got back to head-nunrters agalni with numerous invitations to Illnner, and It kept us gjess-Ing where to gb, as we had to be back for the matinee. ,Wo .finally had a gisiil chicken dinner, with lots of ice rri-ain and cake ^nd cigars, near the ilieiiter district, giveii by Catholic Woman's rlub. ^ i ~ ,

"For some reason a negro soldier can look lonesomer when he is lonesome than any one else in the world. For the love of he'aVen let's think of something we can do for him!" .The speaker was a War Camp Community organizer In one o t the western, train-lug camps months ago." Where 'h i s eyes then saw a biire stiretch of prairie, with disconsolate looking negroes scattered here and there, now standa a-^pe-einl club for them under the au-splces of tho War Camp Community Service.

Eariy m our present war hlstors the need tor special recreation c.enter»,lor the negro troops. In tca.lnlng'camps-ber came apparent all oyer Uie country. This need the War Camp Community Service saw, and as a result there are today ten clubs for these men in as many camp communities. There are ,seven more under way, while Newport News is planning her second. The interest of both white ahd colored elements In the cotnmnnltles near the camps has been aroused, and twenty-flve towns now have special committees to carrir on actlvIUes for Uie tie-gro in uniform. Co-operating with Uie War Camp Community Service colored churches in many camp cities have opened rest rooms for the negro soldiers when In town on leave.

When one considers thc tremendous number of negroes In service (the total called In the draft for flve days In June was 300,000) and that these men are leaving homes and families all over the United Stntes to go to ,stttinge camps tor their training .siiecial attention to their iieeds in Uie margin of time from camp duUes seems decidedly essentinl. There IS good reason for. the negro soldier or sailor to "iook lonesomer than any one In all the worid" if there Is no provision made for his romfort In hours off duty.

The largest of the negro War Camp Community Service clubs are located at Dea Moines, la . ; Battle Creek, Mich.; Louisville, Ky,; ChilUcothe, O.; Petersburg, Va„ and Newport Nows, Va. In each one facilities similar to those tound In clubs for enlisted white men are available. Also there is every encouragement for the negroes' native musical gifts, and community sings, with banjo accompanists, are featured In all the clubs.

Nowhere Is thc flner community spirit which wlll result from war wdrk In camp cities better.jlllustratcd than In the work now being done all over tho country for the negroes^. Much of It Is done by the co-operation of white and colored people Jointly Interested In the projects. And ns for the results with the negro soldiers them.selves a remark of ono guest at the Negro Army Club nt Dea Moines is eloquent He hnd Just had a refreshing shower following a game of pool and waa then Invited to t5ie club danco,

8on<i5 Reasons 'Why They Lead tn Scheme of Poultry Product ion-

Utilize Much Waste.

(Prepared by the .United States Dejiartment of Agriculture^)

Chickens, In ahy general scheme of poultry production, of course.mtist take , flrst placed They fire best adapted to general condlUons, taSe a wider range of feeds and convert them, perhaps, with the greatest margin of proflt Chickens, better than any other class of poultry, ntllize table scraps and the general rtm of "waste from the kitchen door, aU the way from apple aild potato parings to sour milk. (Jhlck-ens far surpass aU other kinds of poultry In" salvaging waste grain from the stables, from the shed or lt>t where the cattle are fed, and from t o g pens. During the "winter months on farms where any considerable number of live stock are kept, the hens would take their Uvlng from these sources with only slight addlUonal' feeding from time to time. Chickens are great destroyers of insects, including many injurious forms, in yard, pasture and orchard. They utUize also, many, grasses and weeds, and seeds from the same, that would otherwise be of no use. Except in isolated instances the part of wisdom would be, undoubtedly, to keep more chickens than all .other kinds ot poultry combined, but there should be, in a majority of cases, some of all the other common kinds of potiltry. ~

cotton makes It practlcaUy Impossibla to keep each farmer's seed from being mixed, "With 'the result that there Is a general adalxture of other varieties or strains, making It practlcaUy Impossible to maintain the (luaUty of tho cotton being, grown. Ginners can'return to the farmers tmmixed or tm-" contaminated seed by cleaning out all gin heads, bins, and troughs, thereby retaining the purity of the seed.

^/Attention to Saws. By giving more attention to the gin

ning of cott6n the ginner win again be able to Improve general marketing conditions for farmers. The adoption of 12-lnch saws ,ln the place of 10-inch saws will enable the ginner to reduce the speed of the saw shaft, thus reducing In a great measure: mechanical difficulties in connection with the operation of his gins. A spêd of 383 revor Iutions,per minute on the 12-lnch saw. or -400 revolutions per minute on the 10-inch saw is considered to be good practice. . However, some gins have been known to operate at over 600 rev-ointions per minute, and this results in a-positive damage to the fiber, especial-, ly It the seed, cotton Is not thoroughly dry before ginning; hence the need for carefnl attention to the speed of the "saws, as weU as the careful consideration of the quaUty and condition of the seed cotton being ginned.

Importance cf Compresalng. ,FlmilIy, the adoption of gin com

presses In certain particular communities WlU have the effect of Improving marketing conditions by eliminating •certnin mmecessary transportation and reducing th^ demand for freight cars, a n of which WiU result in reducing transportation charges. A direct saving would result by sampling the bales -at the press box and compressing at the gin. The bulky, poorly-bound ."flat" bale is perhaps one of the greatest sources of loss in marketing cotton, this bale being hard to handle, exposing the cotton to costly damage and general deterloratioiL In order that It may occupy less space In freight cars and ships. It mnst be shipped to a compress point to be compressed in spcclal cotton presses before helng shipped tp central or export markets. This Compressing Is done hnrrledly and indifferently. Additional bagging is used to cover sample holes, and the six tics placed on thc hale at the gin are now replaced b'y seven or eight ties. These new ties nre not always securely attached, with the result that they be< come detached, allowing the bale to expand Into an unsightly mass nnd break open; and the cotton reaches its destination In poor condition.

It will be ot a great advantage to American cotton growers if organization can be bronght to bear to improvo conditions,at the gin. "When planting seetl is unmixed, when Unt is carefuily ginned, and when Sales are properly pressed and bound, American cottpn win command greater consideration In both home and .foreign markets.
