OWE DEBT ID WOMEN
British Government AcknoW-
 edges Aid of Fair Sex.
momentous Question at the Close of the War Will Concern the Dis position of Those Who Have
 Taken Places of Men.

In Great Britain there are two sub- Jects occupying the attention of wom- en just now. The first is how best 10 keep in touch and train the women who volunteered their services 10 the government al the beginning of the var and who have not yet been called into service. The second is whether or not the women who are holding positions formerly occupied by men shall spend their wages or hoard it. Considering this question the women point out that every body the whole nation. Is being urged to spend, to keep the money in circulation and to help ease the financial situation for the sake of the country
 On the other hand. the majority of these women are dependent on their exertions for living, and many of them had been out of work when taken on by the government in place Of men gone to war Now when the war ends and these men return they will lose their jobs. At club meet AAAS1f A4AAtEA dL Pd d1IiNGiIg dlt EdLI- erings Of women, even over the tea cups. this question is being seriously discussed
 Alons with it and of equal import anee is the question of keeping to- gether and rendering more efficient that part of the 45000 women volun- teers for whom the government has so far found no need The latest and so far the most practical solution to this problem is to establish a train- ing school for these women volun- teers. This school to be operated through tine war office, the women to be paid for their time and work, and be trained for the fields in which they will sooner or later be needed. To get the best results it is urged that there should be a board of voca. tional advisers in connection with the work
 In spite of the fact that these wom- en offered their services at the re quest of the government, men in various occupations have refused to serve with them. The most pro- nounced stand was taken by the tram drivers and conductors in Edinburgh When the first crowd of men left the company to go to the front the com pany tried to put women in their places as tram conductors. The men working on the lines refused to work with women conductors. so the com. pany was forced to hunt up other men war

Selling Hay in Local Markets.

Is elim- mated. and there is little heed to dis cuss grades or to sell hay on grade. because the consumer is present and can inspect the hay and form his own opinion as to its valre Production of market hay is treated in Farmers Bulletin No. sos, and may be had free upon application to the editor in chief of the division of publications, United States department of agriculture, Washington.

PROFITS AND PROPHETS

Take the profits out of war and
you will eliminate the prophets of
war. 1t is the men who make money
out of manufacturing armor plate,
guns, ammunition, uniforms, mill
tary equipment and battle ships who
are always urging the necessity of
a bigger army and navy and argu-
ing that the country must be pre-
pared for war. These gentlemen are
more interested in the development
of their business than in the well
fare of their country, and as long
as they can make money out of con-
tracts for war supplies, just so long
viii they constantly endeavor to in
crease the demand for their pro-
ducts by creating a sentiment In
favor of preparedness for war. They
mask their mercenary motives under
the guise of patriotism and pretend
that they are actuated by love OF
country instead of by love of money,
AM thereby exert a dangerous in
fluence.
If the government should build 1t;
II ships, manufacture its own
guns and ammunition and all the
equipment required for the army
and navy. thereby eliminating the
element of profit from war, there
would be a wonderful decrease in
tn number and enthusiasm of the
jingoes and the voice of the prophets
of war would not be raised so fire.
