BY WAY OF ELUCIDATION
(lonoral March. ehb*f ot stall. e\
presses himself essentially tutor tin
it tinner ut the true soldier, lie is no
givit to extravagant utterances; li
is brief and blunt in speech Henci
his rec -ut remark, in commenting 01
tin' crisis tlint had arisen, that "wi
must strip for action." occasioned m
little speculation as to just what hi
really intended to say through tin
medium of that stereotyped critieisu
of the conduct of the war to date
while others are certain that he wai
merely concerning himself with thi
business of the moment without rc
g ird for the mistakes that may haw
been committed in the past. Mean
while the general persists in main
mining discreet silence.
In the absence of his assurance t'
the contrary, however, we are in
dined to endorse the view outline'
by the New York Sun, SayB thi
contemporary in commenting on Get:
oral Marchs observation: “He 1
righl We must strip from the fact
ol the situation the camouflage o
misstatement, unfounded assuranc
and baseless confidence that has beei
sedulously applied to them by person
more desirous of immediate applaus
lor themselves than concern over th
ltiu aie welfare of the country. *
\\ o must rid our minds of the noli :
that th»- pen v ith which the President
signed the declaration of war against
1 Germany was a magic wand that
transfarn ed notoriously inefficient
' ' jolt-holders, w hose only claim to place
1 was their political slickness, into high
ly trained, superbly equipped special
0 ists. capable of attacking successfully
0 intricate problems of industry, trails
j portation and strategy without further
si booling or preparation."
This to our way of thinking is the
3 most concise and complete survey of
y the situation yet put in print. it
^ states the case in a nut shell and does
P»
0 everything but mention names. Of
course even the most casual reader
could supply these without stopping
to think twice. Is it not possible
that vvhat General March really had
in mind was that, if we would really
i strip the decks for action, we must
i throw a lot of the dead wood over
| hoard?

restoration of Its old-time system of

Community Establishment Provides Simple and Convenient Method of
Conserving Perishables
===~— - -.. .-'—re—.—. ~Jj
1 Establishment I unit ipalities 1 r< >: 11 municipal fumls of drying plants,
for fruits mid vegi es wliere conditions are favorable Is a most m- j
portunt way of prev, waste of perishables, according to the United St. .
department of agricu.
In municipal plants .lie work should be supervised by the city council or'
other town authorities, ff the plant is not a municipal plant, it is best to
i place it tinder the guidance of some association already in existence, such as
• a civic Improvement club, commercial club, home-school garden club, or a
special community club organized for the purpose.
As mi example of a club that can lie formed for the purpose, a department
bulletin tells of one community that lias a drying plant and in which a special
com nuiiiiy eluli of approximately (it) funnels has been organized primarily

The Convenient Home-Made Fruit and Vegetable Dryer, Made of Lath and
Wire Netting.
to look after the operation of the drying plant. The officers—president, vice
president, secretary, and treasurer—constitute the executive committee and
are Intrusted with power to act. A simple form of constitution und by-laws
, has been adopted, and meetings of the club are held monthly or oftener, usu
ally at the drying plant, which In this Instance Is In a room of a church
building.
Municipal or government-owned drying plants have been In successful
1 operation lit European countries for years. Such plants provide village com
munities with u convenient und simple method of drying all sorts of pro
i dttee of the home garden und orchard, as well us the vegetables and fruits
, shipped to the community, which might he allowed to go to waste at the stores
r and market places. The drying plant described In the bulletin follows close
ly the specifications of a community plant at Lincoln, Neb., und 11 others In
that general section, all of which were operated successfully during the sunt*
' liter ami full of 1917.
* The advantage to the busy farmer's wife Ip the country community cannot
be overestimated, says the bulletin. Her work is heaviest In the summer
when vegetables anil fruits must be saved for winter use. The establishment
, of u community drying plant at a consolidated school, country church, or eon
trally-located farm home would offer a great relief from heavy kitchen duties.
