President Wilson whom he considers
his most dynamic. driving lieutenant

| that 1t would be an easy matter TO
PICK out the hardest working bundle
| of energy enlisted in the governments
war work. for there are dozens, even
hundreds. OF men in Washington VINO
can accomplish more in less time than
ninety-nine out Of every hundred men
in tho country. But Hurley not only
docs things-you know no Is doing
them.
AS chairman of the United States
Shipping Board Mr.. Hurley tackled one
of the biggest and hardest Jobs the
President had to bestow Before the
President put him In office he weighed
his qualities. then called him into con-
ference and told him just what u mig
job lay before him and that he would
be expected to go through without a
hitch. Mr.. Hurley said he would. a
few days later he took the rcins
When Hurley first took his place at
the head Of the Shipping Board about
the extent of his knowledge OF ships
was that they were hollow and noatcd
and carried caTgoes. The controversies
between his predecessor. william Den
man. and General Goethals. head Of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, had not
served TO leave the affairs Of the board
In We good shape for n novice to
handle. But Mr.. Hurley buckled down.
asked u lot Of questions and got fair
NJ st.l, .
Then he said something like this:
81 don't know darn thing about
building ships. but do know that the
United States has got to have them.
and 1 am going to see that she gets
them. There are plenty OF experts to
take care of the technical side. and
will see that the experts are on the job
and keep moving"
Then Mr.. Hurley held n long confer
ence with Admiral Capps. chief of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. The men
sized up each other, smiled in salts
fed way and shook hands. There waa
nothing said just then. but both men
understood that no clashes OF author
ity, no technicalities and no title mat
ters of etiquette would be allowed to
retard tho governments shipbuilding
plans.
With full understanding between
himself and Admiral Capps. the new
chairman, fairly bristling with energy.
began to make things hum. He sur.
rounded himself with men just Is force
fun and earnest as himself: he con-
ferrcd with all the big shipping men
In tho country: he nnnde new plans
for speeding UP work: smoothed out
wrinkles that had retarded the old
proEram--in short. he was there and
everywhere. giving n shoulder to the
wheel whenever and wherever occasion
seemed to demand He tackled every
problem fearlcssly and quickly. lot the
shipbuilders. shipowners. contractors
and labor unions know that he was
working for Uncle Sam. and would not
be bluffed or bullied by anybody. He
assured every one a square deal and
in return demanded that Uncle Sam be
given the same consideration. And he
mostly is getting what he demands
Mr. Hurley does not have much to
say. but when he says 1t he means it.

else you can use for shampooing. as

A few enterprising farmers in North
Dakota have found that the Canadian
field pea grown as a hog feed is an
immensely profitable crop in some parts
OF the state. Usually the Canadian
field pea does not make satisfactory
growth in the heavy soil of the Red
river valley but in most of the soils in
the central and western part of the
state the Canadian field pea will make
alone at the rate of two bushels per
acre and pastured by hogs when partly
grown or 1t may be allowed to mature
and be used as fattening ration either
by allowing the hogs to harvest the
crop themselves or by threshing the
crop and feeding the peas as part Of
the grain ration. Usually the crop
proves a trifle more successful when
one bushel of oats per acre is seeded
with the two bushels of peas. The oats
will help to support the pea vines and
the crop can then be harvested togeth-s
er. either by the hogs or with a binder.

the summer months, grain should be
