OBACCO, MATCHES AND ANDY HIS BIG NEED That the American boys in France are badly in need of irets, cigars, tobacco and matches is apparent from the fol ing .letter from Carl Shelley a member of the Ambulance ■ps in France to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kirk Shelley, of clton.

We iiud ery interesting trip coming over we all enjoyed it very much, 'he French people received us h a glad hand, but I think the son is that they know the Amer -1 people have lots of money and t they know they have to spend They certainly do know how to rge us. We are getting along tty well. Roarback and 1 are able ipeak enough French to get by. 'his morning a crowd of us are ng over to a bathing beach about miles from here and X have been y with a French grammar trying iope out how we will inquire our I cannot tell what town we [ located in, but I can say this is a y old and behind the times place, shall be able to talk for days IE KEEPERS TO ORGANIZE NOW dently Mean to Get Best lesults in Regard to State Inspection Work seal beekeepers' associations are g organized in various sections he State through the general in st that is being created in the istry through the campaign he made by the Bureau of Zoology he State Department of Agricul xty field meetings have been . in thirty-five counties and five 1 organizations have been formed e las£ May and many others arc ourse of organization.

THURSDAY EVENING, about it when he get home." We have gotten one mail from home. It takes about two weeks for pour letters to reach us. Our letters to you will take very much longer on account of cen sorship. Each of our letters is cen sored twice. Your letters are not opene<l by any person except us. so you can write anything to us. Before I forget, send me some matches. French matches are very poor and extremely expensive. Alao send some chocolate because the French chocolate is just as rank ns the matches. The French cigars and cigarets are pretty good but Amer ican "smokes" are very much bet ter. Another thing that may interest you is that the food is very much better than that which we got at Allentown. The barracks are warm and comfortable. Your loving son. CARL PACIFISTS PLAN TO START AGAIN Prof. Nearing Will Direct New Propaganda Instituted by People's Council New York, Sept. 19.—Undismayed by the reception accorded them in the Mic'dle Western States the paci fist People's Council of America is preparing a new campaign in the interests of peace. The propaganda is to be extended to every community in the country, and in the language of the council's backers, 2,600,000 persons who oppose the war are to be enrolled immediately. In every state, the pacifists threaten, organization are to be formed and New York City is to be the main headquarters of the coun cil. Unnoticed and unadvertised, sixty members of the People's Cbun cil continued in this city yesterday the work which was interrupted by the authorities in Illinois and other midwestern states. Professor Scott Nearing, whose pa pers were seized in his Toledo home last week by government agents, is to devote all his time to the work from headquarters in this city. He was not in the city to-day, but from his home in' Toledo he sent word that the peace agitation "would now be promoted with more zest than ever." Louis P. Lochner is to remain as the secretary of the People's Coun cil. Eleven of the fifteen members of the new executive committee of the council have been named as follows: Morris Hillquit, Professor Nearing, James H. Maurer, president of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Labor; Jacob Panken, Joseph Schlossberg, secretary of the Amal gamated Clothing Workers of Amer ica; Rebecca Shelley, Rabbi Judas L. Magnes, William C. Renfer, of South Dakota; George Roeweer, of Massa chusetts; William Short, of Califor nia, and Mrs. William I. Thomas, of Illinois. ARTISTS TAKE VITAL PART IN ACTIVITIES OF THE WAR European painters and sculptors are playing a most fascinating role in the world conflict. Through their efforts the art of 'camouflage", as the French call it, has been developed to such a remarkable degree that it now takes a highly important part ir military operations. The word is derived from the verb "camoufler," and, as an idiom, means to make up, disguise, or render unrecognizable. Many of France's younger artists be long to the "Bataillon de la Camoufle" and are literally the scenepainters who fashion the sham stage-settings and properties for the theater of war. The work of these fellows, which it not without its dangers, is fully described in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. Often it is necessary for them to ascend in aeroplanes and study from aloft the effect of their efforts. At other times they have to advance ahead of the first line under cover of darkness and take measure ments that will enable them to make a copy of some tree trunk or crum bled wall in "No Man's Eand", armor it and have it quickly substituted be fore dawn to serve as a bullet-proof shelter for observers. AH of the na tions at war are practicing camou flage, but so far the French seem to have the lead. FOUR-FOOTED TRACTOR STEPS MIGHT ALONG In plowing and cultivating, a well trained, intelligent team of horses means much to a farmer. Therefore H is not surprising that many agri culturists are slow in accepting the tractor, with its clumsy wheels and grinding motor, for such work. For these reluctant ruralists, however, a new kind of machine has been in vented. It is wheelless and comes as near being a four-legged steel horse as anything ever conceived outside the realm of cartoondom. The in goniousness of the contrivance makes It humorous. It has feet and legs as well as hips, knees and ankles, and is designed to amble along as steady a3 any sorrel team that ever pulled a disk. The chief difference in the arrangement of the pedal extremities of the machine and those of a flesh and-blood draft animal is that there are no forward and hind legs. In stead there are outside ad inside ones, as the two pairs are mounted on opposite sides, rather than ends of a rectangular frame. A picture of this odd machine is a feature ot the Popular Mechanics Magazine DEVICE USED FOR PI.ANTING GRAIN TO BE USED FOR SEED The absolutely uniform planting so necessary for the proper development of high-grade grain seed, is accom plished at the State Agricultural Ex periment Station of Wisconsin with the aid of a novel planter, a photo graph of which is shown In the Popu lar Mechanics Magazine. This ma chine runs on a track and is operated by two men. one of whom deposits the seeds in fourteen uniformly-spacel planting spouts that lead down Into the soil. The second man operates a "covering" lever, which in turn actu ates rods which thrust the grains into the ground to the proper depth. A second lever Is used to propel th planter forward the proper distance lr the case of barley, four Inches at a time. Beginning with a thousand, or more, selected kernels, beds are planted in this manner for several consecutive seasons, the seed each time being selected from a few of the finest plants of the previous year.
