WARNING ISSUED TOJLL FARMERS Must Place Orders for Machinery Early in Order to Be on Safe Side.

(By United Pras.) IXDIAXAPOLIS, . Ind., June $. Farmers of Indiana were today warned to place their orders for machinery which they will need lor harvesting the 1917 crop early enough so that they will be sure to have their implements when needed, in a bulletin issued by G. I. Christie, state food director. On account of shipments beinp irregular, labor scarce, transportation uncertain and the fact that some manufacturers are unable to jret the amount of steel they need, the food director advises that orders be placed for machinery as soon as it is known what will be needed. "As labor shortage this year will place an Increased burden on farm machinery and increased acreage is bound to make a greater demand for such implements, dealers should investigate their needs as early as possible so they may avoid losses to themselves and their patrons," says the bulletin. "Manufacturers must order their materials far in advance so that they may order raw materials in time." In order to relieve the lack of sufficient machinery, farmers were urged to make arrangements to selling or loaning: any implement which they cannot use themselves; make efforts to keoT necessary changes in the working hours and close co-operation and to overhaul all machinery as soon as possible in order neded repairs may be made at once. "Considerable inconvenience may fe expected and should be tolerated in the spirit of real patriotism which calls upon every true American farmer to produce every bushel within his power," the statement declares.

STATE GOVS WARNINGS

(Special to The Times.) TXDIAXAPOLl S. Ind., June S. Chairman Will H. Hays of the State Council cil of Defense said today; ""We must get away from the impression which obtains In a few places in this country, that the selective conscription implies a none too honorable "draft." such as obtained during the closing days of the Civil war. Where the liability to service is universal, there can be no such distinction. Rather let us make it clear that with this selective draft 'we have laid the foundation of ever-lasting justice and righteous equality in the obligation of citizenship.' "In everything let us preach patriotism. What we need in this country is a new baptism of old-time patriotism and we will have it."

In further conserving the resources of the state, the State Council of Defense for California has issued a manifesto against the itinerant beggar. Declaring there is plenty of work for every able-bodied citizen of the state, the California Council says further: "Housewives and every loyal American citizen can give immeasurable aid in eliminating this class of chronic, idling loafer, by using Keen, relentless Judgment and decision in giving food or alms. Every applicant for food or , alms should be required to give an honest return in work for what he receives. In almost every case wHere a man professes to be unable to secure work, he can readily find out where work is obtainable by application to the police or city marshal or public offi

cials. In cases where food is given in return for work, discretion also should be used in order to prevent a condition where ordinarily willing workers might be encouraged to live in s.mi-idleness." Vagrancjj laws should be enforced rigorouFly in Indiana during the continuance of the war, both for the sake t-f correctly applying food and human energy and for discouraging the practice when the war is over.

June 10-16 is Marine Corps week. The commandant. General George Barnett, hopes during the week to secure 4.000 recruits, which will bring this branch of the service up to its full quota, for immediate active service. The Marine Corps are the fighting sol

diers of the navy and they hold n proud I

place in the country's history. Indiana is expected to furnish her proportion as rhe did her army recruits, among the first of the states.

DYNAMITE TOO EXPENSIVE, BUT FRENCH HOMES MUST BE RUINED

Efficiency experts have been busy in Germany working out methods for the maximum destruction of French property at the minimum cost. Photo shows one of the destructive enpines the Germans have invented to crush peasants' cottages quickly and without using powder or bombs. It reminds one of the battering rams used by the barbarians of the middle ages. German soldiers express an eagerness to visit the United States in order that they may turn this country into a desert.

Cooking Utensils and New

Do you still cook in the old-fashioned earthen and enamel ware, or have you replaced these with the more modern cooking utensils aluminum? Have you ever stopped to think that the coating of earthen "ware is

lead-glazed and that there is always i the danger of its chipping and get-

ting into your tooar riave you ever stopped to think that enamel ware even the best cracks and chips? These are dangers perhaps that you have never thought of in all your housekeeping experience. Aluminum ware is light lidht as

you have never thought it possible j to make cooking utensils and yet!

i.ivt iucui suusumuai. i ou nave seen the iron pots that our grandmothers and great-grandmothers used and you have often wondered no doubt how they ever managed to lift them about. In those days cooking utensils were made with one thought in mind only that they had to last and last a life-time. Now, all this has changed. The heavy iron pot has gone with all the other incommodities of a generation or two ago, and today we are able to purchase aluminum utensils that not only combine strength with lightness, but that last a life-time. These aluminum cooking utensils heat quicker and stay hot longer than other ware. They cannot rust or chip, break or bend and most important to be considered, are pure and safe. The modern housewife delights in using aluminum ware. Its shining cleanliness and beauty appeals to her pride in her kitchen.

"Wool is very scarce in this country right now and is getting more so, as the increasing prices will testify. Everyone knows the necessity of conserving food and especially such excellent food a.s mutton. "Every man should make certain that his dog is not doing any damage. It's usually the dog that the owner believes harmless which does the damage. Thii dogs get out at night when the peoplft are asleep to kill and in the morning are back at home again, and to all appearances of the dog, nothing has happened. "An instance was had recently when I was in the northern part of Jhe state, where a great many sheep were being killed. I warned one man to be sure and tie his dog up. But he protested that his dog never left home and that it would be useless to tie hini up as he never did any damage. The next day I saw that dog near a flock of sheep, three miles from home, and shot him without further notice. "There's only one way to be sure, and that is to keep your dog tied."

(By Halted Press.) IXDIAXAPOLIS. In.d. June 6. "Be patriotic and tie up your dog!" This was the advice given today by Dr. L. E. Xorthrup, state veterinarian, as he. started a state canaign to eliminft the killing of sheep by dogs. Thousands of dollars worth of sheep are ,killed each year in Indiana by dogs, and it is Important that local authorities take immediate stringent steps to eliminate this leakage in food and wool supply, according to Dr. Xorthrup. Provision is made by counties to pay damage for sheep killed by dogs. The amount paid out each year is close to $50,000, Delaware, Rush and Montgomery counties have an exceptionally large number of sheep killed in this manner, according to officials. "Although a man ha; contributed a
