PLAYING OF QUOITS
IS NOW PROHIBITED
General Pershing Has Put Ban
on Horseshoe Game.
Huskies Hive Not Hesitated to Back
Horses Into Quiet Corner and Rip
Shoes Off Innocent Animals
1 May Use Mule Shoes.
The American army In Franco, It Is
reported, hns been embarrassed ot va
tlous times by tlw sudden breaking
,oown of horses engaged In the trans
xrt service. Investigation showed
fcat the horses were unshod, their
teel shoes having been removed mys
teriously. Further Investigation
sliowed that the shoes had been tnk-
ra orr the animals by tho doughboys
la order to pitch quoits, nothing being
a good for the purpose as a horse-
atioe.
I Quoits always has been a great
American gume. If It wasn't for
jcolts and going to the "deepo" to see
th 2:36 come In, life would not be so
fascinating for prominent citizens of
(ssany bucolic burgs.
Over In France time hangs a bit
keavlly around the camps occasionally,
and there has been a great revival of
"pttehln'." The more the game has
spread tho more demand there has
keen for horseshoes. Now, there Is
ece thing you can say for the Amerl
ran doughmiy. When he wants any
thing he goes and gets It, whether It
bj a Hun or n horseshoe. Various
tl.rnsands of huskies, needing horse-
fhoes, huve backed transport horses,
crvnlry horses, all kinds of horses Into
a corner and with little more than a
"whon. hoy." of preparation, have
f"pM'd the shoes off the Innocent anl
inuls and then proceeded to get Into
the game.
Mr. John J. Pershing Is said to be
That Is called "peeved." He has Is
sued orders prohibiting the playing of
jmilts with horseshoes, on pnln of 30
A.ys In the guardhouse for the first
Tense and three months' Imprison
ment for' the second.
If the doughboys wish to pitch
jLolts, he says he has no objection,
I nt they must lay off the use of horse
rhoe. He gives full permission to
them to take all tl)9 mule shoes they
sire, that Is, If they take them off
lh hind or southern extremities of the
fer.tle creatures.
I. looks as If It will be a closed sea
on for quoits In France so long as the
Wfir lasts If Pershing persists In look
er at the grent American game of
"J.itcli" this way.
Whoa, Maud! From the Commerce

How Boys and Girls Can
Do Important War Work
By the U. 6. Dfpnrtmcnt of Agriculture.
The war department hns requested
tho boys' and girls' clubs of the coun
try to help collect fruit pits and nut
shells, the en r lion In which Is used in
making gns masks. Contests have been
suggested among the million cluli mem
bers by the United States department
of agrlculturo nnd -the state depart
ment colleges, which conduct tho club
work, to see which member, which
club, which district, and which state
can deliver tho largest umount of inn
terlul In the shortest time. Kach mem
ber should try to furnish at least l!0O
peach pits, or seven pounds of shells
enough muterlal for one musk.
Since more nnd better carbon Is
secured from the pits of penclies,
prunes and plums than from other
sources, boys ami girls should make It
their special business to see that every
homo In their communities saves the
pits of these fruits. They should also
visit community and commercial can
neries, hotels, restaurants nnd baker
ies. In addition, seeds should be col
lected from dates and olives, and shell
and whole nuts bo saved from hickory
nuts, butter nuts, English and native
walnuts und hazelnuts. The material
may be delivered to the local Ited

American Farmers Should
Follow Scotland's Plan to
Eliminate Food-Eating Rats
The canny Scots of West Perth
shire district are living up to their
reputation. They have organized In
an active campaign to exterminate
rnts and save the food and property
which they waste. They have demon
strated that It Is cheaper to kill than
to feed rnts. According to a report
from tho American consul nt Dundee,
which has Just been received by the
United States department of agricul
ture, n campaign to exterminate rats
In the district mentioned, for which
$1,470.41 was appropriated, resulted
liiHt year In the killing of 100,000 rats.
The board of agriculture appropriated
$4SU.(I5 for tho campaign. It Is said
that one rat In the course of 12 months
caused damage estimated ut $2.43, and
us there were approximately two rats
to the acre, the amount of damage
done was equivalent to tho average
amount of rent puld by the tenants of
West Perthshire. The cumpalgii has
been so successful nnd the people) so
pleased with tho results thut com
munity co-operation to exterminate
rats Is to be continued another year,
ueeordlng to tho report.
American farmers, who have long
suffered losses from these food raid
ers, should follow the exumple set by
tills district and organize community
campaigns to get rid of hits. In many
sections of this country where similar
campaigns have been conducted re
sults always have been gratifying.
Platinum Mines of Russia
Said to Afford the World's
Most Profitable Dredging
Tho most profitable dredging In the
world can be done on the platinum
placers of Itussla, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. Tho vulue of the
metal recovered Is often equivalent
for considerable periods of operation
to $5 a cubic yard. When one remem
bers that the gravels of the California
gold-dredging fields yielded only about
10 cents to 15 cents a cubic yard on
an uveruge, und nevertheless paid well,
the possible profits of plutlnum dredg
ing become uppureut.
Before the war there were about 25
dredges ut work In the Uruls, operat
ing two-thirds of the tlmo of each
after the end of the war, nnd, If de
sired by the employers, to accept them
as permanent factors In places here
tofore held exclusively by men.
The final outcome with reference to
the Industrlul status of women will,
however, depend prlmnrlly upon the
degree of efllclency they are ablo t)
develop. If there arc, as often alleged,
turge and Increuslng classes of women
who desire permanent Industrial op
portunity on the sume busts with men,
their time to 'tnukc good" Is now at
hnnd and will probably not soon come
again. That there are many who real
ize the situation no one cnn doubt. It
Is equally clear, however, that there
are many others who thus far are
showing traits which not only disquali
fy them from competition with men,
but will render them unacceptable In
any capacity as soon as men are again
avullablo ns employees. Of these traits
the most serious probably are the lack
of professional pride In work, the fail
ure to regard It as a permanent occu
pation, nnd as such to be studied and
perfected, nnd tho tendency to lack of
responsibility.

Three National Forests
Recently Added to the List
Complying With Weeks Law
The president has proclaimed the es
tablishment of three new forests, the
final step In carrying out the purpose
of the Weeks law.
The first, observes a writer In Out
look, Is the White Mountain National
forest. Its area of nearly 400.000
acres protects the watersheds of tha
Androscoggin, Saco, Connecticut and
Aramonoosuc rivers. This watershed
region has also long been famous as an
Important recreation ground.
As Its name Implies, the Shenandoah
National forest Is on the watershed of
the Shenandoah river, but It also pro
tects a portion of the Potomac nnd
James river watersheds. Its area Is
about 105,000 acres. On this urea, and
still Intact, are the trench systems
constructed during the Civil war under
Stonewall Jackson's supervision.
Tho White Mountain National forest
lies mostly In New Hompshlre, but laps
over Into Maine; the Shenandoah for
est lies mostly In Virginia, but lnps
over Into West Virginia. The Nutural
Bridge Nutlonal forest, however, Is
wholly In Virginia. Its urea Is about
100,000 ncres.
FOR POULTRY
GROWERS .
Don't forget that the hen Is under
unnatural conditions during the win
ter, nnd Unit summer Is Ideal wont her
for egg production. Try to Imitate
this condition as nearly as possible.
Do everything within your power to
make the bird comfortable. Don't
merely house her; give her a homo and
euro for her.
One reason why many poultry keep
ers full to get eggs Is because they
fall to Interest their birds. By that
is meant they fall to give them suffi
cient litter on the floor nnd to feed
them their grain In this, so as to keep
them working for it all day. Keep
their minds ns well as their bodies en
gaged, and the hens will be happy,
contented nnd will produce more vxifx
The Ideal method for feeding Is to give
them a little feed frequently In the
Utter, to keep them constantly alert
and active. The feeding of n little
stimulant, such ns onion tops or occa
sionally a feed of hot, wet mash, or a
change to some sprouted oats, fresh,
green-cut bone, or In fact anything
thnt the bird relishes, acts as an appe
tizer, and not only Is effective In pro
ducing more eggs, but also actually
develops tho Interest of the caretaker
or feeder to the point thnt he will give
his birds other care. Know the Indi
viduals In your flock and try to satisfy
their needs.

Man Who Is Constantly Changing Jobi
Is Not Usually an Employee of
Special Value.
A Kansas editor complains that no
body sticks" in the.se times of plenty of
Jobs for all. The statement Is too sweeps
ing, says the I'ortlnnd Oregonhin, hut
there Is truth In It. A good ninny du not
"stick" who ought to do so. Thojf
ought, In the first pi nee, to cultivate
the habit of sticking. Some day Jobs
may not be so common, nnd It will sur
prise some of the wandering one t
find that they hnve not learned vwaA
about any one trade to make theai val
uable to any employer. The young mnn
who Is doing one thing today and An
other the day after tomorrow Is over
looking the chnnce to establish himself
In a career, and he Is breeding In him
self the spirit of dissatisfaction will
will make It hard for him to be hupp?
In all the yeurs to come. Nothing cun
be suld against quitting one Job for
better one; ambition ought to lie en
couraged ; but the worker ought to b
sure himself thnt the change is for the
better und not merely for the sake of
change. Employers nowadays know
how great Is the loss to Industry re
sulting from mere altnlessness.
A man never realizes the worth of
his wife until be has to cook his own
meals.
