Prosecutor Strayer Urges Staunch Support of the Boys on the Firing Line. Richmond Grove, Ancient Order of Druids, honored its thirty-two service men at a patriotic rally Monday night A service flag containing thirty-two stars was dedicated to the men who have answered their country's call.

Frank T. Strayer, prosecuting attorney, in an address, urged the "people at home" to stand firm behind the

men on the firing line. "The nerson who places a food card

in bis window, and does not practice the covernment's food regulations is

guilty of the worst, kind of pro-Ger-muninm." he said. "We should not

comDlaln about the food regulations

when we know that they are saving 122.000.000 worth of wheat a month

for the boys over there.

"Real patriotism will see that the families of the men in service are.

cared for. We should do something every day to repay the sacrifice of the mothers who have sent their sons

m the front.

"Richmond Is beginning to realize

the seriousness of the war. Every night an audience is gathered some

where to tledge support or tne war

"America will play her part In the war. We never yet engaged in a war la which we were not successful, for we have never entered a war, excepting for the interests of humanity. The United States is sacred to its traditions in tgbtiog this war. We are not fighting for land or money or control of the sea, but that all nations shall have equal rights, the little nations with the great ones, that the strong shall not oppress the weak, nor the rich oppress the poor." The speaker urged bis auditors to give unqualified support to the president and congress. "I have beard people complain of the president and the congressmen," he said; "Is there any man here who could perform their hard task any better? The majority rules in this country. We have elected them to head our government. Now let us stand by them." A feature of the program was the presentation of a service flag bearing thirty-two stars for the members of the lodge in service. The flag was carried by John Wallace, Frank McCoy, George Kllgus and Homer Miller. The men of the order who are in service are Carl Kllgus, William C. Berg, Walter Evans, Raymond Miller, James Reed, Henry Seiple. Howard Armstrong, Leonard Connor, Roy "Clark, Ruesell Cummins, Dr. Julius Grosvenor, Earl Graham, Chester Harris, Leslie Hornbeck.

MURRETTE D. W. Griffith's magnificent spectacle. "The Birth of a Nation," will open a limited engagement at the Murrette tomorrow with daily matinees thereafter. Everywhere that this sensational successful attraction has played the matinees have vied with the evening performance in attendance.

The arrangement whereby all seats are reserved and sold In advance Is a happy one Inasmuch as persons who would otherwise find It impossible or

difficult to buy In time to see the opening scene because of the crowds

at the box office for an hour or two

before each performance, are thereby

enabled to secure reservations rar

fib 6ft d The Battle of Petersburg, the assass

lnation of President Lincoln and the awe-inspiring rides of the Ku Klux Klan are but a few of the many tremendous incidents brought upon the

screen and the skill of the master

hand that intermingled the tragic elements of romance and comedy is sure

to command the highest respect and admiration.

WASHINGTON

Distinctive scenery serves as thej background for exterior scenes in "Headin South," Douglas Fairbanks latest Artcraft picture, which will be shown at the Washington theatre Wednesday and Thursday. Some of the scenes were staged In the forest ot giant cactus, twenty miles from Tucson. Aria., where the cactus ranges from ten to fifty feet in height and have been described as "sentinels of the desert." MURRAY The performance given by Alia Axiom, the Great Hindoo Seer, mind

reader and crystal gaser at the Mur

ray theatre last night was nowms less than phenomenal and the audience left the theatre completely mystified. This remarkable mystic will be at the Murray all of this week and will give performances every afternoon and evening. It was announced last night that a special performance for ladies only will be given on Friday morning at 10 o'clock.

SOLDIERS' BOOKS

ARE REQUESTED

GOOD VARIETIES OF SEED POTATOES FOR RICHMOND WAR GARDENERS

By E. F. MURPHY, Garden Supervisor

varieties for Richmond gar-

Good

1. Early Ohio An early, oval, plnkinsh or flesh-colored potato with numerous shallow, medium sized eyes. 2. Irish CobblerThis is also an early potato. It is a roundish potato with a white skin with eyes not so numerous as the Early Ohio. - 3. Carmen This Is a good potato for the main crop. The skin is white, and eyes are very few. This potato has a very smooth surface and is rath

er round and flattened on two sides. 4. Rural New Yorkers are late, round, white potatos and good yielders. They are similar to the Carmen excepting that the eyes are more numerous. 5. Burbank This js an oblong to elongated elliptical, cylindrical to slightly flattened potato, and is used for the main or late crop. Treatment of seed potatoes before cutting and planting: 1. For Scab Use one quarter of a pint of formalin to seven gallons of water. Immerse the potatoes in the

solution for two or three hours. Do

2. For "black scurf" use corrosive sublimate at the rate of one ounce of crystals to seven and one-half gallons

of water. Soak the seea in tnis solution no longer han one and one-half hours. The seed should be treated before sprouts appear. Corrosive sublimate Is a deadly poison and should be kept away from children and live stock. Treatment for "black scurf" Is not found necessary as often as it is found necessary to treat for scab. -All potato should be treated for scab with

the formalin solution whether scab Is apparent or not, for the spores may be on the tuber and later develop scab.

"Books-For-Soldiers week will be

observed in Richmond this week ac

cording to an announcement made Monday by Mrs. A. L. Bernhardt, li

brarian of the Morrisson-Reeves library. The week Is being observed

throughout the United States.

In order to save as much money as possible only technical, military and war books are bought and the government is depending on the people to contribute books ot fiction. "There seems to be a demand for the works of Conan Doyle, Kipling, Rex Beach, James Whitcomb Riley and Robert Louis Stevenson," said the librarian. Persons who have books of fiction which they have read are urged to leave them at the Palladium office. The books must be in condition to withstand the use to which they are put by the soldiers. Louis J. Bailey, supervisor of Camp Sheridan, Shelby and M. Clellan, Taylor Field and Fort Morgan libraries in a letter to Mrs. Bernhardt says: "It is an inspiration the way the men want our literature. We had faith last fallnow we have works.

We loan from two to five hundred' books per day in the central library besides those sent out from our branches in the Y. M. C. A. and K. ot. C. buildings. In addition we have j books in the base hospital, company

mess halls, officers quarters, etc. We j are allowed to give any man going to j France a book to take along with him.

One of the first results of that at Camp Shelby was a request by a chaplain for 1,400 books for his regiment. "These camps are a wonderful development and offer a splendid view

of the American democracy and spirit ! at its best. There is only one grumble in any camp, "Well, Why don't we Move?" Let's go" is the favorite I

phrase. So I say "Let's Go" for more i

books." I

diseases and other problems are dealt

with properly when they arise. Special Course at Purdue Plans have been perfected by the horticultural department of the Purdue College of Agriculture and the extension department for a five days' short course March 25 to 29, to train these supervisors. Scores of men and women have arranged to attend. They will be taught the necessary points for successful gardening. How various garden problems were solved by many cities will be brought out and leading horticulturists and agriculturists in Indiana will be on the program. Included In this list are Food Director Christie, C. G. Wood- ....... t ,. frPfiTlc w. E. Lommel, F. E. Wolfe and B. P. Stoneclfer. . -inijeut also has been undertaken to enlist the school boys and girls In the garden cause under the

direction of the bureau of education of the Department of the Interior at

Washington, D. C. Their work will be

supervised in many instances by

school teachers.

American Soldiers, Back from the Trenches, are

Sent to Savoy for Rest CHAMBERY. France. March 19. American soldiers on leave now are being sent to the department of Savoy, one of the most picturesque regions of France, to obtain rest and healthful recreation after their arduous work in the trenches and behind the lines. The department was selected by officers of the American army. It is beautifully situated about 350 miles from Paris in the Alps in southeastern France, having a mild and agreeable climate, fertile valleys, high and well-timbered mountains .and pretty mountain streams and lakes. Aix-les-Bains, Chambery and Challes-les-Eaux are the three towns in the department to which the first American soldiers are betng sent. The first contingent of soldiers was sent to Aix-lea-Bains. known to tourists the world over as "The Pearl of Savoy." This town with a normal population of less than 10,000 inhabitants is located but one mile from the Lake of Bourget on a small plain surrounded by mountains. Aix owes Its fame and importance to its warm mineral springs, known to the Romans. The baths are operated under government supervision. The water is supplied by two springs, yielding daily over a million gallons. The treatment, prescribed chiefly for rheumatism and skin diseases, is supplied to American soldiers at a very nominal cost. Chambery is a town of 22,000 inhabitants about nine miles from Alx-Ies-

Balns. It is the capital , of the De

partment of Savoy and an Important renter of learning and industry. The

Grand Dukes of Savoy made their

headquarters in Chambery and built there a great old castle, parts of which still stand. Old Roman ruins are also found in the 'neighborhood. Challes-les-Eaux is another wellknown hot springs station located a

couple of miles southeast of Chambery

and at the foot of the Bauge mountains. The baths there are said to

have virtually the same mineral prop

erties as those at AIx-les-Balns. A large casino and a theatre have been leased in Challes by the Young Men's

Christian Association for the benefit

of the American soldiers.

PROCURE GOOD FOWLS (By William A. Halbach) It is an admitted fact that the present war conditions will make very special demands upon every poultry producer, because now more than ever it is absolutely necessary that we "go the limit" in growing more good layers and producing more pounds of poultry meat To do this will naturally mean that many producers who have heretofore used scrub breeders must now turn to the "Standard Bred" breeders for their" salvation. There are. bred along the right lines for the special demands now facing the producer. The fact that there is a shortage of good "standard bred" fowls makes it a plain duty for the owner of such fowls to give them opportunity to reproduce. Any poultry raiser who is not provided with a good breed pen of standard-bred fowls should make a special effort to procure the birds right now, so that he can get the birds accustomed to their new quarters and put them in proper condition to produce the largest possible amount of chicks that have plenty of vigor and vitality. Perhaps some of the producers have good females but are lacking a suitable male bird to head their pens. If this is the case let him without further delay make provision to procure a good breeding male. Remember in no other branch of animal husbandry does the phrase "like begets like" apply with more truth than In the production of poultry. It can therefore be readily seen that for maximum results, such as we now must strive for, the producer should provide himself with the "proper seed," so to speak, and then give (in the case the standard-bred fowls every possible advantage, which would tend to their greater productive power. Mr. Poultry-man,

both farmer and baek-lotter, yon owe

it to your country and yourself to produce only such stock as will give the

best returns.

Red Cross Notes

The following appeal to the people

of the country has been issued by the American Red Cross:

Your spare clothing for the people

of Belgium and northern France under the occupation of the enemy.

These allies of ours behind the German lines, rich as well as poor, with their native stocks of raw materials

Jong 6ince exhausted, with no com

mercial Imports since the first occupation of the country need promptly this relief in their destitution. The quantity of raw material which we have been permitted to import for manufacture into these parts of France and Belgium has never been sufficient. We cannot purchase what is needed; we must put our spare garments to the service of the world, a measure of pure economics, conservation and patriotism. One third of every shipment will go to the people of northern France, down close behind the German lines; two thirds will go to Belgium. The Commission for Relief has the ships, and safe conduct passes for its ship; it has the absolute assurance through its own representatives in Brussels that the clothing will be delivered only to those for whom It Is intended. The Germans have never at any time seized the personal apparel Of the individuals. The Wayne county chapter of the Red Cross has opened quarters for the purpose of collecting clothing, at 14 North Ninth street and asks you to brink or send what you can spare. Units that have returned work to headquarters are: Greensf ork, one pair of socks: Fountain City, two sweaters; Dublin, 119 bandages, and Williamsburg, twelve pairs of pajama suits.

Preacher's Son Tells of Wearing Tin Derby ANDERSON, Ind., March 19. A letter received by Mrs. J. W. Potter, of Anderson, from her son, Russell R, Potter, a private In Battery F, 150th field artillery, indicates that be was in or near service in the trenches in France. Potter, whose father is pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church in Anderson, Was city editor of the Anderson Herald at the time he enlisted in Battery F, and went with the Rainbow division to France. In his letter Potter said, in part: "Put your 'darling son' in a slicker, a tin derby on his head and a gas mask on his face and you wouldn't know him from 1,800 'darling sons' in the 105th. The mask gives me all the appearance of" a frog. Seriously though, equipped with the French mask and the British respirator, we have little to fear from the bosche gas, of which the allied artillery sees all too much.' Potter is a lover of good books and while in newspaper work frequently critically reviewed books. "That much-dreaded bogey-man. Old Army Routine, has so far failed to spoil life for me. Stevenson taught me the philosoyhp of getting along Stevenson, Walt Whitman and Thoreau, to these I owe much," Potter said to his mother.

The schools of Hagerstown are 100 percent efficient in War-Savings Societies. They have sold $1,00 worth
