LET LABOR BE DISTRIBUTED.

There is merit in the suggestion OF
the Department of Labor and Print
ing relative to an equitable distribu-
ton of the States labor supply SO that
the farmers may secure a more liberal
share of the help needed in growing
food products. Around the cities and
towns there is generally to be found
unemployed labor which may be uti-
liked on the farm to advantage and
steps. should be taken at once with
this object in view. The plan to form
a citizens committee for the purpose
of listing the available supply Of labor
in each locality is entirely feasible
and worthy Of consideration. The
work of such a committee in co-opera-
ton with the local Food Commission
selected by the North Carolina Food
Conservation Congress would doubt
less dovetail nicely in the campaign
the State organization proposes for the
p of bringing about a larger food
production. $500
That there is grave danger of a Sc
rfous shortage in farm labor must be
admitted by everyone familiar with
conditions existing on the farms at the
present time and an earnest effort to
induce the unemployed to take up ag-
r%icultural pursuits forthwith should be
made by all interested citizens. The
demand for farm labor has long been
in excess of the supply and this con-
dition accounts, in a large measure,
for the present shortage in food pro-
ducts and the consequent high prices
dealers are demanding for necessities,
So long as the supply of any commod-
ity is limited the public may expect to
paw dearly for it's needs and the time
for united action looking to the pro
lection of tho people against specula-
tors and their allies is upon US. The
call for volunteers to the farm is
heard around the country. Will v~7
respond? The cal lis urgent. There
is danger indelay.

CITIZENS DO YOUR DUTY.

In a proclamation issued to the
American people on the 18th instant
President Wilson urges upon the far
mers of the country the Importance of
growing food crops. To the southern
agriculturallist, he suggests the grave
danger of raising cotton and neglecting
breadstuffs, meat and vegetables. In
a previous appeal the President en-
phasized the urgent need of a vast
army to protect u international
rights. upon he hig.. seas and no time
is being lost in the effort to provide for
the country's defense against the en-
c~roachments of a foreign foe. He furth-
ermore realizes that bread is just as
essential as bullets in carrying on a
war and now calls for an army of sUfi-
cient proportions to produce the bread.
The high price of cotton is likely to
influence many in cotton-producing
sections to increase the acreage~of
that staple crop and it behooves the
farmers of other localities to put forth
every effort to grow food-stufs of
every variety. AS the Commissioner
of Labor and. Printing suggests, we
should produce not only a suficiency
of food for home consumption, but
enugh to share with other countries
who are assisting in fighting our bat
ties on forein fields. The war depart
ment will, doubtless, provide all the
bullets needed. Eut the necessary sup
ply of bread must come from the farms
and a great army of toilerS are in de-
mand right now in the corn and wheat
fields of this fair and fertile land.
There has never been a time when the
call to the farm was more significant
or a period when the unemployed were
afforded a better opportunity to earn a
livelihood. The burrows are calling
for men as we'll as the trenches. Cit
liens do your duty!

Jass Music the Latest.

New York Correspondence of the

listened TO the weird Ecise made by
a jass band? Such an organization
Is now playing at one Of the uptown
cabarets. When the leader of the
band was asked to explain just what
lass music was, he said:
"a jass band is composed of oboes,
clarinets, comets. trombones, ban1os
and always a drum. 1t doesn't have
to have all these. But the music Is
a matter Of the ear and not of tech
niuue. None of US knows music.
One carries the melody and others do
what they please. Some play coun-
ter meloo.es, some play freak noises
and some Just play. l can't tells you
how. You got to feel jass. The time
is syncopated. Jass, l think, means
tumble. We came from New Or
leans by way of Chicago. In Chicago
professor told us 1t was the tune
full harmony of rhythm I don
know what he meant, but l guess he
makes one dance with every part of
ones body but the feet.

was right Anyhow, that's jass."

HOW follower
COST OF FOOD
Housewives VIII Have Chance t
Learn Of Best Methods
Next Week
Here.

Housewives know that canning and
other means of saving food for winter
days does lot towards lowering the
grocery bill. Just at present we are
feeling the high prices more than
ever before. If the vast quantity OF
food produced last year had all been
saved, the situation would now De
much different. This is true any
year. The food problem needs
attention now. Saving by canning,
drying and proper storing are means
of solving the situation.
Lee county is having campaign
that began June rs, to demonstrate
the "cold-pack" method of canning
and other ways of saving. A demon,
strator from the agricultural extern
sion department of Ames will be in
the county for two weeks and will
conduct about twenty demonstrations
in all parts of the county. Look for
the one nearest you. Miss Rachael
M. Roberts is the local leader, and
full information can be secured from
her.
