(United Press Service) American Field Headquarters, , France, August 17 (By mail)—Ameri- : can soldiers have so much money and ' 1 so little to spend it for that General Sibert is trying to find some law to make the boys save part of their pay. i The khaki-clad boy from home has just three thing to pay for—tobacco, 1 hair-cuts, and laundry services. He may cut out the laundry bill by doing his own washing. | General Sibert is trying to interest the soldiers in the American bond isj sues or the loans of the French govern ment. Uncle Sam’s troops are second only to the Australian and New Zealand troops in the amount of money they earn. The Anzacs get about $1.50 a day and are the hightest paid army in the world. But both the Anzacs and the Canadians, who get sl.lO a day—the same pay as the Americans or foreign service—are compelled to reserve part of their pay for their dependents or to form a nest-egg against the possible rainy-day following demobilization when the war has been won. An occasional bottle of light wine or a daily I , ration of milk chocolate are practically the only dissipations open to the' American troops. | Gambling is prohibited in the army. ! That closes the avenue of speculation. A small number of fore-sighted fighters made a good-sized cleanup on tobacco when the tobacco famine hit the camp a couple of weeks ago. They had laid in reserve stocks of makings and tailor-mades and found quick sales at ridiculous prices—twenty francs for a sack of alfalfa and as high as a dollar a piece for cigarettes. |

RED CROSS TO HELP RUSSIA. Washington. D. C.. Sept. 10—As a part of its program for rendering effective assistance to Rnssln. the American Red Cross is to ship nt I once to the Red Cross commission in Russia, bonded by Dr. Frank Billings, 125 motor ambulances and automobiles. This is the third Red Cross shipment to be dispatched to Russia since the arrival of the commission th»ro less than two months ago. Drugs, medical supplies and surgical apparatus with a total value of nearly $41)0,600, have already been sent. Ambulances are needed with the Russian armies almost more than any other form of relief. On the eastern front there are now only 6,000 vehicles for the transportation of the wounded, while on the French front, only a third in length, there are 75,000 ambulances. The automobiles now being shipped by the Red Cross will equip one Russian army corps with five complete ambulance sections. Each section will include fifteen motor ambulances, one auto bus for transporting slightly wounded, one kitchen trailer, and one dressing station car. In addition, each section will have two touring cars for the use of officers; three light delivery trucks, one repair car carrying necesary tools and extra parts, and one extra car for gasoline fuel. For the present, personnel for ambulance sections will not be sent to Russia, but the machines will be operated by Russian drivers under the direction of the Red Cross. Should it be necessary later to send American drivers, they will be recruited from volunteers in the United States.

It is the pig’s business during this time to develop a good frame, to grow bone, muscle, and vital organs, and to lay on fat. Plenty of pasture, some grain, exercise, and good sanitary quarters are all verynecessary if the pig is to be both thrifty and profitable. | "Give the pigs an abundance of good pasteurage. They should be kept on pasture as long as possible and gain the benefit of its cheap nutrients, especially mineral and protein, and Its tonic and digestive qualities. But pl.?s on pasturage alone, even alfalfa, need some grain supplement. The amount of grain or other concentrated feed used would depend on how- much pasturage is available, on the cost factor of grain or other feeds, on the age and ' condition of the pigs, and the time at .which the farmer expects to market them.” MOOSE DANCE ON FRIDAYS.
