AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Published Every Evening .Except Sunday, by Palladium Printing Co, Palladium Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets, R. G. Leeds, Editor. E. H. Harris, Mgr. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond. Indiana, as Second Class Mail Matter. Advice to Farmer's Boys G." I. Christie, superintendent of agricultural extension of Purdue University, is not letting the shortage of farm labor caused by the selective draft blind his vision as to conditions that may exist in the United States ten years from now. Many farmers believe they must keep their boys Out of the agricultural schools this year to help them put in the crops. Christie believes that the place for most of these boys is in the university where they will learn scientific farming. Intellectual training enabling them to work to their maximum efficiency on the farms is the watchword of Christie. If the United States is to make progress as an agricultural nation it can only be through the training of her young men in methods that will enable them to make the soil in greater proportion. Christie's advice is worthy of our attention: "Uncle Sam is advising the young men in the country to attend school this year because trained men are wanted in larger numbers than can be found at the present time and will be needed more as the war progresses. In no industry is this need more felt than in the production of food. This year large numbers of farm hands have enlisted in the army making labor scarce and expensive. This condition along with the attempt for maxium crop production is causing many farmers to plan to keep their boys on the farm, thinking thus to best serve the country. But Uncle Sam is looking farther into the future than this year's crop or next year.'s crop and wants these boys trained so that throughout their lives they will approach their maximum efficiency. If the United States is to maintain her present standing as an agricultural nation, if she is to produce her share of the food for her al-

Preserving the Fighting Morale. The activity of the Red Cross society is strikingly set forth in a recent bulletin in which a description is given of the plan to establish canteens and rest stations for our soldiers and the French troops behind the firing line. The bulletin ought to dispel the notion that the Red Cross society is not keenly alert to anticipate emergencies and needs even if they do not pertain strictly to the relief of the wounded. The bulletin is appended : The War Council has been trying to find out just what the Red Cross could do most effectively to hearten the French Army and to give to French soldiers a token of the fact that America is with her Ally with all her Armv nffipftra have told tne Red

Cross that canteens and rest stations would do more for

the immediate welfare and contentment or ine than anything else that could be done. Therefore, the problem is going to be met thoroughly and at once. The poilus come out of the trenches, to go home on leave, mud-stained, vermin-covered, reeking with infection ' They are marched to the nearest rail-head in tbat condition, where, perhaps, they find a little station with scanty accommodations for a dozen passengers. The Red Cross is going to put shower-baths there, and laundries and mending and disinfecting rooms, which will remove the menace of dirt and disease which these men carry to their homes. Then there will be restrooms where they can read and write and play games, to make the transition to civilan life easier, and small stores where they can buy tinned delicacies, tobacco, and odds and ends. Similar canteens will be opened at the railroad junctions where the men must wait en route. At some of them now these men. still trench-stained, have to lie on station platforms all night. There will.be dormitories at such places, and lunch-rooms at all of them where hot meals can be bought at a price just above cost. Nearly fifty thousand soldiers are passing through eleven of these stations every day. They will have a convincing proof of American friendliness when they find American women the Women's Bureau is now recruiting fifty of them for such service ready to help them. Just behind the firing line the Red Cross will put field canteens. Extending the work already begun by the French Red Cross, we shall see that every corps of the French Army, and ultimately our own. has one pf these stations, which will supply hot and cold drinks to the men who are fighting. Many of them now have nothing to relieve their thirst except their day's ration which they carry in containers which may be smashed at anya minute. The canteen is placed in or near the second line, and refreshing drinks are carried right into the front trenches. Each station can keep about 125 gallons of hot drinks at the boiling point, and has several thermos containers holding six to twelve gallons apiece. Four thousand portions coffee, tea, cocoa, bouillon, lemonade, mint are sometimes served from one canteen in a single day.

German Soldier Who Fraternizes Is Spy, Captured Note Shows PETROGRAD, Sept. 3. (Correspondence of The Associated Press) The German soldier who is fond of fraternizing is more often a spy, according to a diary found on a captured Teuton sergeant, says a Petrograd Gazeta correspondent at the front. Only those .German, soldiers quali-

are allowed to fraternize with their

j Russian opponents, this diary shows.

The document disclosed that its writer had been supplied with several bottles of vodka, which with characteris

tic German thoroughness had been specially brewed for distribution

among the Russians. The diary contained a minute record of the fraternizers' acts and obser

vations, carefully headed, sub-headed and numbered. Among the headings

were: Questions and Answers About

an Armistice"; "Conditions of the Russian Army;" "Attitude Towards Peace

Talk;" "Invitations to Future Meet ings."

Among the entries were: "Russians warned us that their artillery was

about to fire"; "White peace poste

PICTURESQUE WINE CARTS OF

ROME, Sept 3. War efficiency has eliminated the gaily decorated and

multi-colored cart which since medi

brought to the city from the Alban mountains its portion of white and red

wines. These one-horse, two-wheeled

vehicles with jangling bells and sleepy

drivers hidden under a covering not

unlike a buggy top, long familiar to the strets of Rome, will be replaced en

tirely this fall by an automobile service.

TARS LIKE TO HAVE "STEADIES"

GREAT LAKES, 111., Sept 8. Sailors at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station do not take kindly to the proverbial saying that a "sailor has a girl in every port," if unofficial statistics assembled at the Station are to be believed. They want a permanent glrl-a wife In, most cases, according to Chaplains Thompson and Moore. Nor " Infrequently it is "the girl I left behind" that the future sea fighter desires to wed. A godly number of the bluejackets, however, run true to form and put in "bids" for "wedding furloughs," the week-end after meeting a girl on visitors' Wednesday. Not all of the requests are approved 3nd other jackies who obtain official consent to get married run into ob-

DAY OF CURB BROKER IS DONE

"Curb stone" real-estate agents, the men who stand in front of legitimate real estate offices and try to rob other men of their sales, are doomed, according to S. K. Morgan, real-estate man. The downfall of the "curb-stone" agent will be the result of the working of the Indiana Real Estate association, composed of more than 1,000 of the leading real-estate men of the state. The association was organized to promote fair dealings in real estate, and to put the crooked real estate agent whose chief business is to defraud others out of their business, entirely out of the real estate game. , Efforts made by the association along this line already are proving beneficial, not only to the real estate men, but to the public as well. Through the work of the association, the public has become familiar with the fact that the certificate of membership in the association, shown in the office of a real estate dealer is an insurance against fraud.

Japan is called "the land of blades" by its own people, some of the older scholars having declared that the first sword was invented by the same god who invented poetry. A maker of swords in Japan was highly honored among his fellow mechanics.

THOUGHTS TO4THINK ABOUT . The sigh of the saint may be tainted with sin and lead more men to ruin than the sinner who smiles to win. Your plans may be clear and your hopes may be dear, but all is defeat if you don't back up your wishing w,ith workAmbition when aimed at right is the main-spring to worthy work and is helpful when you want to be happy.

stacles occasionally in the refusal of the intended bride to play her role. "What do I have to do to get mar

ried?" inquired a tall seaman of Chap-

lain Thompson recently. "I can't find anything in the Bluejackets' Manual on the subject" The chaplain explained that the Navy had no objection to the sailors being married and gave the lad shore leave over Sunday. The following Monday he was surprised to see the same sailor enter tha chaplain's headquarters and ask for an interview. "I guess I'll have to get that furlough again later," he said ruefully. "You know I had forgotten to get her consent and she hasn't said 'yes' yet." Roy Mason, chief yeoman, of the Navy . Relief Society, who married more than 2,50 couples while a justice of the peace at Waukegan, has offered his services without cost to the sailors, as have also the chaplains at the station.

It was a patriotic parade. Veterans of the Civil War were in the line of march, trudging along with uncertain feet but bounding hearts. Every one of them was cast in that same courageous mold which made heroes out of the plow-boys of fifty years ago. Yet, every one of them was different. There was no difference in their spirit, no dofference in the glow of patriotism which illumed their faces, no difference in the message of idealism which gleamed from their eyes. But one was prosperous and the other poor. Because one was braver than the other? No. Because one was stronger or better educated when life's struggle began? No. Because one was "luckier" than the other? No. Then why should these two brave men who had fought and marched together fifty years ago and who were marching together today occupy such widely different positions?

The explanation is simple. The reason is that one of these brave men saved and invested, the other did not do so. It isn't what you earn that counts in the long run. It's what yon save. Start saving now for the future. Get ready for the unknown thing which is just around the corner. Build yourself a bulwark of a savings account, and the battle of life will be more than half won.
