WANT NEW SCHOOL FOR SPRING GROVE To consider razing Township school No. 6 known as the College Hill school north of Spring Grove, the township advisory board will hold a meeting Tuesday with Trustee Edgerton and County Superintendent Williams. ' The board will also go over a nlan to reduce the cost of tuition for coun try pupils going to Richmond high school. It is hoped that a township high school can be erected in the next three years east of northwest of Richmond where the township already owns school property. No plans or estimates have been made for a new No. 5 school house except that it shall have two rooms witn all modern school appliances and convenience if it is erected. The old school is in bad condition' and is not Dig enough for the increasing population.

(This is the first of series of four I articles on the spring garden published by the United States Department of Agriculture. The aeeond will appear In an early Issue.) "When is the proper time for jpreparing to plant one's garden?" The United States Department of Agriculture's specialist says that In the spring as soon as the soil has dried so that a handful when grasped in the
band and gripped by the fingers will slowly fall apart upon being released, it is in a fit mechanical condition to prepare for planting. Clay or heavy soils should never be worked while wet. More Jn Jury may be done by wet. More injury may be done by several years of careful culture. When the soil is found dry, as described above, the upper three inches should be made fine by the use of the hoe and steel-tooth rake; all rubbish, stones and clods should be removed and the surface made even, somewhat compact, and ai level as the contour of the area will permit. It may then be marked oft for planting in conform EAGER PERSONS SEARCH RECORD TO FIND FRIENDS list of Casualties Among English Soldiers Necessi tates Elaborate System of Cabinets and Card Indexes LONDON, March 27. "Please let me know what is the matter with Patrick; he was killed the last I heard," is but one instance of the thousands of pathetic queries for the answering of which a colossal index of casualties has been in process of formation dur ing the last lew months on a nign place in London, somewhere between Big Ben and the Nelson column. All day and all night continues the building this house of index cards. On the day of the new moon also, and on all Sabbath days, for no precept of any faith would forbid that work. From every British ambulance in the fighting area, from every hospital where men are received, at home or abroad, and from every batallion staff, come lists and lists and lists of the wounded, sick or missing, of captives or of slain. Solid looking oak cabinets which stand back to back in pairs, are constantly being supfeeiitttfa,1H3y more cabinets in each of the rooms allotted to this work. Collection Wonderful. Considered merely from the point, of view of English surnames, it is a wonderful collection, and if soldiers enlisting adopt fancy titles from current language, were not all names once nicknames before they were establishby long use? Here you find such as Homer, Shakespeare, Hathaway and Grace side by side with euch names as Hell, Bulldeath, Deadman and Corpse, John Pintard and Nicholas Romayne. And those who sit writing the entries on the index cards non-combatants? Perhaps; and yet most of them are also really among the casualthies of this far-reaching war, though unrecorded upon any roll of honor. These temporary clerks are men who bavo lost their professional posts men who, in the general disturbance of business enterprises have had to close their offices and grasp at any straw of paid service which would keep them and their families from bitter privation. Some of them have sons in the fighting line many would be there themselves but for grey hairs or physical infirmity. Serves In Africa. The head of one room served his gun in the South African war till one arm was smashed by a shell splinter, and not one of them but gleans at least some scrap of consolation from a belief that he runs more risk from hostile aircraft in the series of rooms that has come to be known as Zeppelin terrace, than in his house at Putney or Vand6wortb. Sitting on one of the thousand chairs that were made in a fortnight at the beginning of the war, he may be searching the drawer of the Leinsters for some elusive Sergeant O'Toole, or noting down on the card of Private Brown of the Royal West Surrey, that he is at Versailles with bronchial catarrh, or he may be reporting to the inquiries department that the husband of a woman in South Wales, believed to have been killed at Ypres, is now known to be a prisoner of war at Doberitz. CLASSES HOLD MEET AT K. OF P. HALL HAGERSTOWN, Ind.. March 27. A tournament was held in the K. of P. ball Friday evening in which four terms took part.

J. DINGELDIE ILL Word has been received here of the serious illness of Rev. J. Dingeldle at Cleveland, O. He was formerly superintendent of the Wernle Orphans' Home, and has many friends in Richmond. He has been somewhat stronger during the last week, but his friends entertain little hope for his recovery. REMAINS VERY LOW. There has been little change in the condition of Dr. S. R. Lyons during tbe last three weeks. Members , of the family who visited him tbis week, found him somewhat,; brighter but very weak.
ity to the general plan of the garden.1
Much of the soil In the average back yard la not only poor in plant food and deficient in decaying vegetable matter, but it is bard and unyielding. However, such la the basis X which' many a housewife or child has to use for the making of a garden. Teachers who plan school N gardens for their pupils also have similar conditions to meet. Therefore, in order to get good results, careful attention must be given to the preparation of the soil. Soils which are naturally moist are likely to be sour and so not in the best condition for the crop. Whether sour or not it will be well- to have the pupils test them, which can be done as follows: Secure from a drug store a piece of blue litmus paper, then take a handful of the soil slightly moistened and place the place on it. If sour the paper will turn red. To correct such a candition lime should be used. Cover the ground with a thin coat of air-slaked lime, which can probably be secured near by" at a small cost and work this in well. The use of lime, while not a plant food, will correct ROOSEVELT ATTACKS PRESIDENT'S MOTIVE WASHINGTON. March 27. The charge that President Wilson and Sec retary of State Bryan endeavored in the interest of foreign business firms to secure for the United States the power to purchase interned . ships of one of the belligerents in the European war, is made by Colonel Roosevelt In his reply to the invitation to testify before the ship purchase bill lobby in vestigating committee of the senate In presenting his reply.

the acidity and will Improve the
physical condition of the soil. If the soil la .clayey or a stiff clay loam and the location Is in a section where severe freezing occurs. It will be found a decided advantage to give the area a heavy dressing of decom posed manure in the autumn, and before freezing weather sets in spade the land so as to turn the manure under and leave the soil in a rough. lumpy condition so as to secure the benefit of the digestive action of the winter freeze In reducing the soils. This should be repeated annually at the north. If the soil is light and sandy a mulch of manure may be spread over It In the fall and the spad ing delayed until spring. In localities where the soil does not freeze, the manure may be applied In the autumn and the soil repeatedly spaded during the winter whenever it is dry enough to be worked. The value of freezing at the north can to an extent be attained by repeated spadlngs at tha south. ' The one gen' eral precaution which should always be observed is never stir the soli while It is wet. FRENCH CAPTUBE STRATEGIC FORT BERLIN (via wireless).
