The extent to which Germany Is EN-.
plcying women in occupations hith.
ertomonopolized by men may be seen
from an official report Jus published
by the women workers in the metal
trades in the important districts Of
the Rhinelands and Westphalia. This
document is declared to afford the
frst reliable and complete testimony
regarding this subject.
Before the war here were In these
districts 227 factories employing al
together 10,150 women. On the list
OF August, 1915, there were $40 fac.
tories and 1920 women employees.
Out of SO factory districts there were
only two in which no women were
working.
In factories engaged in supplying
the needs OF the armies the number
of women employees increased from g.
800 TO $4,000. Women everywhere are
found performing the most severe
physical llabors, where they must prove
their proficiency or run the risk Of
terrible accidents. That they have be.
come proficient seems apparent from
the fact that only 81 cases OF women
being injured at work were recorded
throughout 1915.
Seventy.fve per cent. Of the women
work ten hours a day or more. and
their wages very from two and half
to eighteen cents an hour.
Most employers refuses to recog.
nize the principle Of equal pay for
equal work. The question was rails.
ed In 277s factories and only los of tho
employers yielded and agreed to pay
the women the same rates as the men.
In all the other works the women re.
cetye from forty to ninety per cent.
Of the rate OF pay given to the men.

GERMAN is ARRESTED
Alleged He Had Been Spying on Pam
anna Canal Forts.

New York April 27.-Conrad Will
helm Aufmaasser, reserve officer of
a German pioneer regiment, was ar
rested by secret service officers on his
arrival to-day aboard the steamship
Colon from Cristobal on suspicion
that he had been spying upon the
Panama Canal Notifications.
According to Chief Flynn, the sus-
picions proved unfounded. Neverless
Aufmaasses was sent to Ellis Island
and possession were confiscated.
Mr.. Flynn said he would undoubt-
eddy be released by the immigration
authorities provided he satisfied them
that he was entitled to enter this
country as an alien.
Aufmaasser had been employed IN
the canal zone since May, 1914, as
assistant superintendent for the en-
glneering firm of Neumeyer & Dia-
rond, which built the two huge
cranes employed in digging the canal.
The photographs proved to be. 1t is
said, ordinary views of the canal and
the documents written in German had
to do with technical matters written
for the use OF his employers.

HAY FEVER PREVENTION
BULLETIN MADE PUBLIC

In view of the approach of early
summer the American Hay Fever Pre-
vention Association, which aims to
eventually eradicate hay fever, is
calling attention to some of the
weeds which soon will begin to be In
flower and distribute their noxious
pollen. Among them are the yellow
dock, careless weed, cookie bur, etc.
The grasses also are noxious to a
certain class of hay fever sufferers
and should not be allowed to bloom
unless intended for seed. The daisy
fieabane also is beginning to bloom.
Its toxidity has recently been estab-
lished by this association. Children
collect these flowers and in one Whit
will inhale sufficient pollen to cause
a paroxysm of hay fever lasting three
to five days. Such attacks are almost
invariably attributed to "colds," the
real cause not being suspected. 1t
may, in addition, cause a "sensitza-
tion," which will make the child sus-
ceptible to hay fever in later years.
From an agricultural standpoint
weeds already cost the farmer mil
lions of dollars annually. When
added to this is the economic loss
due to hay fever caused by these
weeds several millions may easily be
added. a

Pig CLUBS FOR
BOYS and GIRLS
Movement on Foot by Big Dis
tilIing and Brewing Plants Of
the State to Organize Boys
and Girls Pig Raising Clubs
BIG PRIZES TO BE OFFERED

It is quite likely lot OF boys and
girls clubs will be formed throughout
the State and lot of big prizes offer
ed for the greatest results from the
feeding of distillers' and brewers prod
ucts, or, what is better known as, dis
tillers' concentrated liquid feed and
distillers dried grains.
This comes as a result of the great
success obtained by farmers in Davies
and adjoining counties in the fattening
of hogs from distillers' feed products
within the last three years. They say
that they can produce the finest of
pork at a cost of less than &c a Id.
when 1t generally costs about SC lb.
by the feeding of corn.
Right now large company is being
formed to market these products to
the farmer and stock raiser. It will be
shipped to switches along the various
lines in large tank cars, as the rail-
roads are to heartily cooperate with
low rates and prompt service and it is
likely that large prizes will be offered
in various districts to the boy or girl
who raises pig at the least cost fed
on raisings thereof of this concentrat-
ed liquid feed. The rules to be fur
nished by the Kentucky Agricultural
Experiment Station Of Lexington, Ky.
More than $4,000 head of hogs were
fattened by Davies county farmers
alone last year on this principal prod
uct of the distillers and brewers that
had heretofore gone to waste or been
shipped abroad to stock raisers.

THE STORY OF THE SUNDAY
SCHOOL DOLLAR.

The result of the Go-to-Sunday-
School Day has been manifest In a
large increase In permanent member
ship of Sunday School and Church.
As a direct result of the movement
last year fifty thousand visitors be-
came Sunday School members. Here
are three typical cases:
An Old Soldier.
On "Goto- Sunday-School Day" In one
OF our Sunday Schools an old man
said, II am over seventy years old. 1t

to obey. Now I am here, what are
you going to do with me?" A Mems
Bible Class was ready for him. Three
weeks later he became a member OF
the Church and has lived a consistent
Christian life ever since.
A Young Man.
AT another Sunday School. a young
man. who had been going with Wild
set, was among the visitors on "Go-to-
Sunday-School Day" He became re-
gular member OF the Young Mems
Bible Class. Soon after he declined
an invitation to go on Sunday ex-
cursion where he knew there would be
drinking and gambling, saying, mo.

something 80 much better"
A Junior Boy.
For more than a year none Of the
family had attended Church or Sunday
School. On "Go-to-Sunday School
Day" the children were permitted to
go and from that day became regular
members. In few weeks the twelve
year-old boy united with the Church.
The mother then sent to the old
Church home for her letter. And now
the father, too, often sits with them
at the Church service.

citation has been busy In many fields

Body of Fisherman Found.

The body of Louis Potvin, who was
drowned Sept. Z, was found Saturday
morning floating in the water off the
Stearns pier, Burlington, near the old
boom south of the drawbridge, by
Moses Parizo. After being reviewed by
the authorities the body was removed

Calvary cemetery.
Mr.. Potvin, who was 80 years old,
is survived by his father and three
brothers.
The body of James Francis, who,
