By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN MIIR World war (Icinonstrnteil the F ninn-powor of Amorlca and con- llnnod the traditional prowess of J the American soldier. Tho World wnf nlsn ilrninnilriitiil Amnrli'ii'a material unpreparedness and loft tills probloni for tho American peo ple to solve: In case of tmother wnr how shall wo arm and feed and clothe oar fighting men at the front without wrecking our Industrial life, bringing needless suffering upon the millions nt homo, and wasting billions? Consres-s, In passing tlio National Defense Act of IPL'U, sought to provide the broad foundation of authority for the solving of this material pre paredness problem. This act gae tho president emergency power, authorized tbo creation of a non-partisan "Hoard of Mobilization of Industries lsentlal to Military Preparedness," outlined the industrial mobilization task and turned The Job over to the assistant secretary of wnr. Col. J. Mayhow Walnwrlght, appointed Mnrch 23, 1021, labored at this titanic task until bis election to the Sixty-eighth congress from New York brought about his resignation. In a lecture before the Army War college January 20, 102a. Assistant- Secretary Walnwrlght said: "It is not In a spirit of egotism, but rather n report of my stewardship when I say thnt I nm certain that more has been accomplished In the past cU'litcen months looking to industrial prepared ness than lias ever been accomplished before In the history of the Wnr department." Dwight Fllley Davis of St. Louis succeeded Ilepresentattve-elect Walnwrlght as nsslstant necre tnry of war. Ho was born In St. Louis In 1870. He got Ills A. II. from Harvard In 1000 and his LL. D. from Washington university In 1003. Since then be hns been a mnn of many activities, both local and national. In St. Louis he was prominent In every movement for municipal betterment. In 1021 he became director of the War Finance cor poration. September 1, 1017, Mr. Davis was commissioned cnptnln of Compnny L, Fifth Missouri Infantry, by the governor of Missouri. March 20, 1018, bo was promoted to rank of major, Nntlonal Guard, Ho was nppolnted lieutenant colonel of Infantry Oc tober 10, 1018. Uo served ns assistant chief of staff in the Thirty-fifth Division nnd in tho Second Army, A. 13. F. He wns graduated from the Gen eral Staff college nt Lanqres. He served over seas from April 25, 1018, to April 20, 1010, when he wns honorably discharged. Ho wns cited In General Orders No. 81, Hend quarters, Thirty-fifth Division, dated October 11, 1018, and In Citation Orders No. 1, General Head quarter", Juno a, 1010, "for enrryng out the ofders of his brigade commnnder In a manner utterly de void of fear under tho most Intense artillery and mnchlne gun fire. At Ilaulny, on September 20 nnd .'10, he recklessly exposed himself to tho enemy lire In order to obtain Information of great valuo to lils brigade and division commnnders," which citation carries the nward of the silver star. Col. II. U. Ferguson Is director of procurement. Ho lias been much service In ninny lands. He was born In North Carolina In 1875 and Is a graduate of the U. S. Military academy (1807), Army Staff college (1005) and Army War college (1012). In 1S08 he was a second lieutenant of tho Corps of Engineers; first lieutenant In 1000; cap tain In 1001; major In 1011; lieutenant colonel In May of 1017; colonel of Engineers, N. A., In August of 1017; brigadier general, August 8, 1018. Ho was with the troops In Cuba and tho Philippines In the Spaiilsb-Anieiicnn war. Ho wns chief engineer of tho Chlnn Relief expedition during tho Iloxer uprising. He has served as Instructor In the Military academy and Army Staff college. Ho raised the battleship Malno In Havana Harbor (1010-12). Ho has had charge of river nnd har bor work In various districts. Ho organized and trained (August, 1017-Muy, 1018) the Otie-huu- ' . A Contagious Roup Cause 1 of Heavy Poultry Loss Prrparoil In Hip I'nltM Slnten lir imrlnif nt nf Acrlculturf ) , Willi the approach of fall and wet, I :old weather, contagious roup, say inenibers of Iowa State college, Is ono I of tho most dangerous diseases that . threaten Hocks. It causes a heavy loss I not only from a high death rate but also from the fact that It Interferes I .villi egg production and causes loss j af vitality in breeding. I Contagious roup Is easy to Identify, i It starts witli a thin watery dlschargo ! troiu the nose and eyes, which has an ' )lTenslvo odor, lullamuiatlon sets In, , the birds begin to cough and snee.e, hi entiling becomes noisy and they fre quently breathe through their mouths. The secretions from the nose and eyes .-liange to u yellowish chccse-llko aiass. j Hotip can easily bo prevented by ' avoiding damp, poorly ventilated, over j crowded quarters. To cure a sick bird, place it In a dry, well-ventilated placo nway from the other birds and give It plenty of fresh water and feed. Every morning and evening remove all the i cheesy matter from the eyes and nos trils and dip the bird's head Into n Milutlou of bichloride of mercury (1-1,000). This Is made by placing ono ".It mercury bichloride tablet In u pint of water. Hold the bird firmly and Immerse the head until the eyes are covered, keeping It there a few seconds or until It struggles.

He was tho division engineer of tho Thirtieth Division nnd corps engineer of tho Second Army Corps during the training and offen sive between Mt. Kommel and Ypres nnd the offen sive In the Ilclllncourt sector. He commanded the Port of Debarkation, Newport News (Novem ber, 1018-May, 1010). He was awarded the D. S. M. by General Pershing. "Wars are no longer fought by the nrmed forces nlone," said Assistant Secretary Davis. "Every man, woman and child, every resource nnd every dollar In the entire nation must throw Its weight toward victory In time of wnr. Industry alone can not win n wnr; but It can lose n war by falling to supply tho armies with munitions, vltul to their fighting tlllclency." And under tho National Defense Act, Assistant Secretnry Dnvls, under supervision of Secretary Weeks, Is charged with tho control of policies affect ing tho business administration of tho army. Ho has two distinct functions. First, ho is responsible for MtpcrvlMng the procurement of all military supplies by the War Department and other duties relating thereto. Second, he Is charged with "tho nssurunco of ndequato provision" for Industrial mobilization. In planning for procurement of supplies In time of war, It Is of course necessary to know wbnt kind of supplies will be required, nnd how much will bo needed. Tho general staff Indicates to the secretnry of war the military program which Is be lieved odequnte for any emergency nnd determines the types of equipment and tables of allowances. All questions nffectlng the procurement of supplies; that is, where they can be procured, who will pro cure them, the rate of production, and maintenance of an economical program, are determined under policies laid down by tho assistant secrelary of war, tho business hend of tho Wnr department. Tho cost of the supply program must bo cstlmnted, In order that congress may know tho extent of appropriations required, and the Treasury de partment may hnvo tho necessary data upon which to make plans for flnnnclng the wnr. "In tills connection the Wnr department Is giv ing most careful attention to the wnys and means whereby profiteering mny be controlled In time of wnr," said Mr. Davis. "The principle thnt the men at homo shall not profit from war, while their fellows are staking their lives and their health for their country, Is fundamental as a proposition of common Justice. Such n policy was affirmed in n nntlon-wlde referendum by tho Cham ber of Commcrco of tho United Stntes during the World wnr and was repeatedly commended as a principle of government by President Hnrdlng. "lleforo tho Wnr department could approach In dustry In order to discuss production, It wns first necessary to standardize specifications for supplies wherever practicable. This has been done by adopt ing, as far as possible, commercial standards. At the same time, It hns reduced tho largo number of contract forms, previously In use, to ono slnglo form which Is about to bo adopted for all war con tracts. "Plans for procurement do not stop with tho determination of tho finished nrtlcle, but tho War department must go further and plan for tho pro curement of machines for the making of Its nm- terlal, for securing tho necessary raw materials ' which might become critical In time of war, am for Insuring nn adequate supply of labor, of power, and of transportation facilities. "This phase of procurement plnnnlng goes be yond tho strictly military features and merges Into the broader Held, which for want of a better term has been cnlled "Industrial Mobilization." 15y this term we mean the conversion of the Industrial efTort of the nation from peace production to war production In an orderly manner, so that supplies can bo furnMied promptly, economic losses minimized, and the return to normal economic conditions nt the conclusion of the war facilitated. "In order that these plnns mny be complete, It Is uecessnry that tho war requirements of the nnvy, of shipping, of tho railroads, and civilian needs, be considered. Co-operation with tho navy will be accomplished by the recently created army and navy munitions board. It will be necessary, In time Poultry Manure Is Most Valuable as Fertilizer Poultry manure contains fertilizing constituents which would cost 20 to 25 cents ns commercial fertilizers. Tho overage night droppings of u hen nro 30 to -10 pounds annually. A flock of 100 hens at this rate would produco ?20 to ?25 worth per year. To pre vent loss of the fertilizing constltu puts, sifted coal ushes may bo used on (he dropping boards as an absorbent. Wood ashes or lime should not bo mixed with the manure. As poultry manure Is particularly adapted to gardening, poultry raisers can often dispose of It nt a good price. Such management will add a little to tho profits from the Hock. Feather-Pulling Harmful in Any Chicken Flock Feather-pulling destroys a flock. When a cock begins to look ns If he were picked on tho neck and breast you may then begin to wntch for the hen that Is doing the mischief; and she should bo removed at once, as she will teach the habit to others If she of war, to create an agency similar to tho war , mims Wth the Hock.

First, having determined what will be required, It became necessary t.o figure out how much would bo required. Second, having worked out In detail tho amount of supplies re quired, It then became necessary to determine where nnd how they could be procured. This has been done by the establishment of procurement districts by each branch of the War department, to each of which has been apportioned a proper bhare of the total requirements." The district hendquarters number 47 and are located In 21 cities In 11 states. The ofllcers In charge are engaged miring i no in wh-ih j m i ... num.

On the other hand, the problems facing the Ordnance department nnd the Air service tiro I peculiarly dlfllcult, since they deal with Items which nro either not produced commercially In , time of pence or In such limited quantities as tu have little effect upon war time procurement.

"During the World wnr tho unpreparedness o tho nation cost every citizen thousands of dollars, bj the Increased cost of living," points out Mr. Dnvls, "Some Industries found themselves svvnmped with orders ihey were unablo to perform, while other Industries wero ruined by a sudden ccsatlon o their normal business. In n well devised In dustrial mobilization scheme, much of this can b avoided. This Is n matter of vltnl Importance to tho taxpayers. Tho army will bo equipped for war months sooner than It was during tho World war. 'I ho war will bo shortened by Just that much, thereby saving thousands of lives nnd bil lions of dollurs. It will ulso mean a minimum dislocation of tho normal economic effort nuc fucllltuto u ruturu to peace conditions." Overcrowding of Fowls Cause of Many Failures Overcrowding of poultry Is ono of the most common rensons why success Is not hnd. The temptation to carry a few extrn fowls, over and above the capacity of the buildings and equip ment, nnd thereby "Increase" the profit, Is one of the commonest stum bling blocks to actual success. When this lesson Is learned (sometimes It Is n bitter lesson) then real profit la more likely to be hnd. ASI YOUi NEIGHBOR Wcioicn Tell Each Otficr How They Huvc Been Helped by Lydia E.
