November's of the pendulum of history from peace, which reversed the east- of America's fighting mil- the greatest trans-oceanic troop ...venuiit ever known brought the rr.erk'an people face to face with the A-zedy of the casualty lists. General Pershing's announcement ;-t more than 5S.Q0O of the expedi onary force had given their lives in . : j a . i -t i n t n iihuimis cause aiiu Liia.1 li.uvu ciders, exclusive or prisoners, were missing:, created a profound impres- on. but the human touch of almost ISO.Ofli) wounded, 16,000 of whom al ready have been returned in various staces or neipiessness to tneir native shores, promises to give the country us first real appreciation of the sac iifites of its sons who followed the ?.ac on foreign soil. The method of their debarkation de nies to the home-coming wounded the iopular honors paid their comrades in fail health, But .the war department, perating along lines intended to give :ne lie to the proverbial "ingratitude :f government," has arranged for med cal. recreational and educational at tention whose aim is to restore these r aimed heroes, as fully as possible, to physical comfort and financial inde pendence. From .the day of their arrival at New Fork or Newport News, the ports of ueoarKaxion, to ineir re-en trance jmu viiian life, a host of Good Samari tans army doctors, nurses ana oraer- ie ?nd workers of the American Red 'ros will minister to these sufferers i-om a ruthless enemy's engines of j-.tr. Harbor hospital boats, debarka i"!i hospitals, hospital trains and gen era nospitais ior reconstruction or convalescence form a chain or service I nk ins? the westward bound fleets of transports with the homes of the wounded. And in this service the med ical debarkation corps, suddenly thrust to the foreground of publicity by the r .iiapse of the central powers, plays an important and picturesque part. The end of the war found the port medical authorities prepared to shoul der the heavy burden laid upon them, i-iiring 19 months of American partici ration in the conflict they had main tained an embarkation hospital ser vice, treating the comparatively rare cases of illness among troops ready to g: overseas. When American forces entered the trenches small groups of mounded, evacuated frpm hospitals in France, began to filter through the ser vice on this.side of the Atlantic. With : s experience accentuated by the les sons of the allied governments in re patriating their wounded, the debarka tion system the reception of injured men at ate of 10.000 to 15.000 a month. During the war and a five weeks period following the signing of the armistice, approximately 11,500 wound ed had been received at New York and 4.00 at Newport News. And the au thorities were prepared, on official ad vices from Washington, to handle 50, i 990 cases in the next four months. The army embarkation, service at 3ew York, which sent three-fourths of the nation's 2,000,000 men overseas, is erected to debark a majority of the returning forces, and the westward flow of wounded valso will be directed here, with some diversion to Newport N'evs and possibly? later on, to Bos 'on. To carry on the work at this port 'he medical department has a person nel of 7,306 greater than the entire army medical corps, when the United States entered the war. On this staff, leaded by Colonel J. M. Kennedy, vet eran of 25 years service as an army surgeon, 950 are medical officers, 983 nurses, men and -women, 5,184 enlisted "if-n and 189 civilian employes. The operating facilities include eight debarkation hospitals with an aggre sato. of capacity of 10,900 beds,' two lasC hospitals with 4,250 beds, a re construction hospital at Columbia uni versity for cases too serious to be mov ?3 to interior institutions, five harbor hospital boats with 300 beds each, 75 ambulances, with 50 additional held in reserve by the Red Cross, and four hospital trains each accommodating upwards of 200 patients. The base hospitals are , at Camps Mrritt and Mills, former embarkation, now debarkation cantonments lor the overseas army. The debarkation hos pitals are strategically located- on or Jear the harbor front. The port medical authorities, re sponsible for soldier patients from the time of their arrival from. Enrooe to hir delivery at - general hospitals Rarest their home communities, aim 0 clear their charges frojn the -de-rkation hospitals within a week. Ti e work begins at the4port quaran ir'e station. Here medical officers pOHrd incoming transports, and assist doctors aboard in preparing the men for landing. In practically' all the wounded are taken directly 'om the ship to the harbor hospital oat, which conveys themto a pief rf ?r one of the debarkation hospitals, here ambulances are ink.wahlng.. ii; . Avnile the men get their "short bear 1:iSi" their cases are - studied - and assignments made to reconstruction or convalescent hospitals. The next process is the attachment of a medical liasion officer fo tne group he is to conduct to an interior station. When he has become famil iar with his charges he applies for a hospital car or train, according to the size of his party, and for an escort of doctors, nurses and orderlies. If a train is assigned, the journey, even across the continent, is simple, but if the wounded fill only one car, which must be attached to regular trains, the feeding problem becomes acute. Here the Red Cross lends its aid, arranging by telegraph with its auxiliaries along the way for meals for the travelers at points where neither dinjng car service nor station restaurants are available. The hospital trains, equipped with specially constructed Pullman sleeping and ktchen cars, have accommodations both for "walking cases" and for men so severely injured that they must re main abed both day and night. In anticipation of their use on an exten sive scale, 50 officers and 200 men are in training here, and a smaller com pany at Newport News, as escort detachments.

"There .is a type of man," some one said, "who cannot assimilate a new idea. The impact would kill him." If such a type exists, it blooms in full flower in the farmer who persists In plowing from four to five inches deep. Man made his first steps toward civil ization when he took a crooked stick and began to till the soil, using first the force of his own muscles. Today, as always, plowing is man's severest toil. For man, as well as an imals on the farm, ; the dusty and monotonous work ' of plowing in the hardest drudgery but upon it rests the possible harvest. If it is done well': deep down into the earth, an abundant harvest is almost sure to follow. Shal low plowing indicates a shallow civili zation. No implement deylsed by man tells the story of civilization with greater clarity than does the plow. Money and" labor may build cities, but their permanent, prosperity rests upon the pow. It is the magic Influence of the plow that peoples the waste places and makes the deserts bloom and bear fruit. Where the plow occupies a place in every farm home of a nation, and it is intelligently used, that nation may be assailed, but never conquered. But a nation without a plow will crumble into decay. A nation cannot endure whose inhabitants are hungry. Wherever you find a powerful and enduring civilization, there you find deep plowing a universal custom of its people. Many sections of the nation's garden Spot are deficient in humus. Deep fall plowing is the only method by which humus can be restored. to these soils. Eugene Grubb, the western potato king, reaps a fortune every year from his fields. He has a high acre-yield and gets the highest production from the fields he plows the deepest. Grooves, one of the largest and most successful po tato growers of Kansas, a negro, by the way, has made an average per acre i of 298 bushels of marketable potatoes from 500 acres, and he states that he usually plows from 15 to 18 inches deep. Ten tons of sugar have been pro- THE A TR IC AL Additional interest attaches to the forthcoming production of the world famous spectacle, "Everywoman," by Henry W. Savage because of the great success the piece achieved in the Drury Lane theatre, London, where it had a long run. Through the vast playhouse seats over four thousand people It w&s packed to the rafters at every per formance until the play nad to give way to the annual Christmas panto mine under which the king's patent Is a fixture in. this theatre. The pit and gallery, lines during the run of "Everywoman" are said to have been the longest ever known there. The peculiar nature of "Everywo man" as a dramatic offering that it sincerely attempts to teach a less6n while providing amusement' serves to endow it with interest -for many who do not usually seek diversion within the walls of a playhouse. The story of the play is the adventures which befall a young and beautiful woman who sets out from her home in quest of love. The search leads her into strange experiences. To ilustrate "her career 100 people aer employed and a symphony orchestra and a trainload of scenery and electrical effects are transported from city tocity. Royal. For next week the Royal announces the presentation of that famous popu lar priced musical comedy organiza tion, A. and Gertrude Bernard, with their Bpys and Girls of Dixie Musical Comedy company, an organization that is known 'from coast to coast and comes to Wilmington after repeated efforts have been made to get a book ing in - the past.

It is the presentation of the woTld's most expert and beautilil ice skat er, "Charlotte," in a film revelation of ravishing beauty, "The Frozen Warn ing."

I could cite in stances innumerable to prove my con- ' tention that deep plowing contributes more toward large and better yields of crops than any other farm func tion. But to do this requires power, and j the average farmer doesn't possess it; also h'e thinks he hasn't, the money to ; secure it. It is a mighty poor farmer t that hasn't the money or the credit by which he can secure, a large draught mare. One large brood mare will do practically as much, work on a farm during the year as a horse or a mule, and will raise a bolt at the same time. One cold each year upon eaoh farm in the Nation's Garden Spot will more , than keep up the demand for farm power.
