1t is the prettiest farming country ever saw We
burned great piles of wheat and corn. At night
the sky was red from the burning grain.

HIGHER WAGES ATTRACT u
5 SAILORS WHO FLOCK no
FOREIGN WATERS

New York, Dec 29--There are ap-
proximately two and one-half times
as many American sailors now ship
ping for foreign ports than at any
time previous to the war, according
to DR. George S Webster, secretary of
the American Seaman's Friend So
ciety. He attributes this increase to
the increased wages being given sea
men and partly to the improved con-
ditions under which they are work
ing
DR. Webster says. "The past three
years have marked an almost unbe-
lieveable increase in the number of
Americans who are shippine as sail
ors. At our sailors home on the
North River waterfront, the men We
had previously cared for were almost
entirely British, Swedish and Ger
man. II an American DOrn SallOl
should have mingled in with this CON
pany, he would have been more or
less conspicuous. Today we fref
quently lodge American sailors and
they are practically all men who had
not seen service in the merchant ma
rine prior to the outbreak of the war
1t is very fair estimate to say that
fully two and one half times as many
Americans are now seafaring men as
prior to the war We can no longer
say that the American is land lub

American Seamans Friend Society
that the proportion of the American
born sailors toNthose of other nation
alties will immensely increase after
the war. In case there is slight

tive to many who have not hereto

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment-cIoRged
liver and disordered bowels.

the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach trou-
bles.
II you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition
or energy, troubled with undigested
foods, you should take Olive Tablets,
the substitute for ca1omel.

GIVE j. 5. SERVICE
FOR. NOMINAL PAY
Army of Talent in Washington
Aiding to Win War at ST.
a Year Each.

For an expenditure of about 1925
year Uncle Sam is today commanding
an array of business and executive
talent in Washington that in the open
market would command several mil
lions of dollars, and much Of it could
not be purchased at any figure.
This money is paid to men and wom-
en- who are serving during the war
emergency for the sum of 81 per year,
or for some purely nominal sum that
represents only small fraction of their
income in the field they left to serve
the government. Many of them are the
foremost persons in the United States
in their particular field, and a great
personal sacrifice to their own interests
or the interests of their firms are here
to help win the war.
No list can be compiled which will
show the names of all those who are
now in Washington under such cir
cumstances. for the line between nomi-
nal and bona f1de compensation is hard
to draw. and differs with different in
dividuals. What would be a compe-
tence for a laborer would be but
pittance beside what a mining engineer
of Herbert Hoover's capacity could
make by attending to his private busi-
ness.
A fairly close canvass of the govern
ment departments and the several in:
dependent bureaus that have sprung
up since this country entered the war
shows that at least 325 men and women
Of wide prominence are now in Wash
ington in the service of the govern
ment. practically all of them at sal
ary that would bring them but Is
cents on a semi-monthly pay check
Some of them are allowed a small ex-
pense account, but this cannot under
many of those named can earn ten
times that amount in private life.
Volunteers in Some Departments.
BY far the largest list of volunteer
workers is that of the United States
food administration. where the latest
number so enrolled was 152. The Coun-
Gil of National Defense and the De-
partment of Labor have about forty
has at least 81, the United States fuel
administration %, the shipping board,
including the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ion, has 20: the war trade board 8, the
War Department 5. State Department
and Department of Agriculture /.
Among these most widely known
who come under this classification are
sninistrator; DR.. Harry A Garfield.
United States fuel administrator:
Frederick p. Keppel. assistant to the
Secretary of War; Frank A. Wander
ip. chairman of the war savings COM
mittee: Vance C. Mccormick. chairman
Of the war trade board; Daniel Will
lard. chairman of the advisory COM
mission of the Council of National De-
fense; Julius Rosenwald. a member of
The commission, and Ida Tarbell, in the
publicity division of the food admin
stration.
In addition to those who are work
ing for the government in civil ca
racities voluntarily there are many
men of wealth or note who are in the
commissioned or enlisted personnel of
.he fighting forces. Such a list would
include Henry L. Stinson of New York.
a former Secretary of War. who is now
q lieutenant colonel Of reserves and
Truman II. Newberry of Michigan.
former Secretary Of the Navy who is
a lieutenant commander in the Naval
Reserve Corps.
