IIOOSIER CLUB ARMY TOTALLED 27,1 52MEMBERS 30,000 More Had School Gardens in Towns and Cities Helped Food Production. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 7. Twen-ty-seven thousand one hundred and fifty-two boys and girls enrolled In the Hoosier club army last spring; 17,923 completed the work and earned a profit of $227,909.56. an average of $12.71 for each youngster enrolled. Theae figures do not Include more than 30,000 club members who had school gardens In cities and towns. It was announced by Z. M. Smith, of the Purdue University extension staff, state club leader. The number com; pleting and reporting on the work was greatly lessened by many teachers and club supervisors entering military service. The proflt was merely incidental this year to the bigger task of food production, the boys and girls prorucing hundreds of tons of pork, beef, mutton and poultry, thousands of bushels of corn, potatoes, tomatoes, vast quantities of dairy products, besides large amounts grown and saved from war gardens. The value of the club products is placed at $15,000,000. Garden Club Led. The garden club led all others with an enrollment of 18,421, of whom 12,32 finished and reported. Value of their garden products was $102,130, and the proflt was $76,460. There were 1.818 In canning clubs and the 1,264 who reported showed they had canned 73,762 quarts of vegetables, 29,398 quarts of fruit and 632 quarts of meats and soups, besides 8,000 quarts of miscellaneous material. The value of this food was placed at $25, 779, and profit at $11,423. - Eight hundred and twenty-five of the 1.468 in the one acre corn growing contest finished and reported on their work. However, most of these boys grew from one to ten,, sometimes twenty acres of corn. In the special plots of the 825 boys, 2,180 acres were grown which made an average yield of 48.5 bushels, almost 13 bushels above the state average for the whole 1918 crop. The corn club boys earned a proflt of $82,418.30. Two hundred and ten corn club boys lost their crops by the frost of June 23. Thirty-six and four-tenths acres of potatoes were grown by 201 of the original 320 members of the potato clubs. Their average yield was 81 bushels to the acre and their proflt $3,571.80. Poultry products worth $23,814 were produced by 615 of the 1.126 poultry club members, bringing them a profit of $9,468. Pigs Brought Profit. Just half of the 2,155 boys and girls fn pig clubs reported on their projects. Their pigs were Worth a total of $46,217.49, but It cost $20,359.49 to produce this pork, leaving the young hog men and hog women a proflt of $25,679. One hundred and eighty-three boys and girls were engaged In baby beef production or fattening calves so they

would be ready to market about the time of their first birthday. The value of the products of 136 of these mem

bers was $9,638.26 and the profit was

$4,266.26. In sheep clubs there were 120 mem

bers. last year being the first for this phase of club work. Ninety-one girls

were engaged in bread baking clubs

and 425 in sewing. In the dairy calf

clubs, which also is a comparatively new phase of club work, there was an

enrollment of 193, and In various mis

cellaneous projects there were 832 boys and girls. In every line the club members showed a proflt and performed their duty by producing food to back up their older brothers over seas. Club work last year in Indiana was much wider in scope, than in any year . ince it was started and bids fair to go even higher next year as it becomes permanently established in more communities all the time and it is showing a steady growth.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS ' TO SHOW RESPECT

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 7. Both houses of congress adjourned Monday as a mark of respect after adopting resolutions of regret at the death of Col. Roosevelt and providing for the appointment of committees to attend the funeral. Orders were sent by Secretary of the Treasury Glass and Postmaster General Burleson to lower the flags of public buildings throughout the country.

Marion K. Clark, chief investigator of the New York state industrial commission, believes that Inability to understand English is responsible for many accidents.

John B. Staubach, son of George Staubach, police sergeant, has been promoted from corporal to sergeant, according to word received recently by his father. The letter was written In Metz. From Chieppy, France, N. Y. McCrea wrote recently telling of the extensive work they are doing bringing ammunition and other war material back from the front. This is the first letter received here explaining the great shipping problem which the Allies are now meeting. McCrea writes: "We are operating a narrow gauge railroad from this town and It Is keeping us busy enough. We are hauling ammunition, empty shells and other salvage from the front lines. Everything in the line of war material that one can imagine is being picked up. Carload after carload of empty brass shells and ammunition cases and a great many that are not empty are being brought in. Fritz certainly came to these parts expecting to stay. The amount of ammunition he brought with him is immense. But the trouble with him was he didn't reckon on thti fighting ability of the American soldiers for we ran him out of his fortification in seventeen days the same fortifications that he had held against the French and English for four years. "Yesterday I made a trip to Aubreyville. Took up two cars of ammunition and brought back a dead engine that turned over the night before. My brakeman had a narrow escape, but no one was injured. "This town is right in the heart of the Argonne Forest, where we drove Fritzie out of the woods, a feat he thought was a physical impossibility. "He was taught that nothing was impossible for the Yanks, for those Germans that didn't run when we started for them are there yet, but not ln,a position to know it. "The woods is full of them," is a common saying but it was never applied more appropriately than when referred to these woods. "Further evidence of their intention to remain on French soil can be found in the way they have fixed their dugouts. They are mostly five or six room affairs with all the comforts of a modern home. In some instances we find hot and cold water and electric lights. "But when they left they went in a hurry, not even taking their personal effects. Every camp is stocked with wine. Seemingly they were enjoying this game of war until the Yanks came in on the scene, and then the show changed to tragedy. "I must go in this morning and sign the pay roll. We are paid in French money designated as francs. Twentyseven francs are equivalent to $5. It ranges from one franc pieces and notes as high as 5s, 10s, 20s, 50s, 100s and 500s. In appearance it resembles dirty wall paper of a cheap variety, and semingly has no more value. You want to get rid of it. Most of the provinces here have their own money." President Wilson's arrival in France is spoken of in a letter from Willard R. Morgan, who is stationed in Paris with the A. R. C, M. H. 2. He writes: "When President Wilson arrived in Paris it did not rain. First day that it didn't for a long time. That was some day in old Paris. People started to crowd the streets before dawn. The hospital had a reserved plase. so I had a fairly good place to see. People even paid three francs (50 cents) to stand on ladders against buildings. "We were supposed to stand at atr tention when he passed but that was too much to expect of an all American crowd so we showed the French how to make real noise. President Wilson, Mrs. Wilson, General Pershing and General Foch and the whole bunch were there, even to the movie man on the truck behind. "The only thing I can't get along very well with is these French. I took some laundry over last week and when I went to get it about half of it was not there. When I told her about it she said she did not understand English. I then trusted to my useful hands but I guess she thought I was telling her how well it was done. I finally got so mad at her I told her what I thought of her in plain American which I shall not write because of the censor."

Constipation is one of the penalties of age that should never be neglected Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that relieves constipation in an easy, natural manner, without griping or strain, and is as positive in its effect as it is mild and gentle in its action.

They probably will be closed as soon as the present quotas are finished. Much yard is still out in the hands of the Wayne county chapter ,knitters and they are requested to get it in as soon as possible. The greatest demand for Red Cross work is in refugee garments. Only the past week a new quota for these garments has been received. Women who will sew are badly needed. These refugee garments must be made. The Red Cross headquarters has no other way of finding workers except, through the press and It is taking this opportunity to urge upon all workers the sense of their individual responslbile for the output of these sorely needed garments. Strange to say some people have the idea that the Red Cross headquarters is closed that workers are. not needed there this is not true. It is open and will continue to Issue work until orders are received to close. The quota of sewing now on hand includes .skirts for women and pinafores of two sizes for small children. The number is not large but must be finished promptly. Some of the garments will be turned over to the high school Junior Red Cross, but the greater part of the work must be done by the Senior Chapter.
