more food than they really desire. Ii

IT is the order of the day and it is

AN ECONOMICAL WAY
TO CAN TOMATOES.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20
A good economical way to can toma-
tees, says the United States department
Of agriculture, is to pack firm, who;c
fruits in a jar and fill in the spaces
with concentrated tomato sauce.
Each quart jar will then provide whole
tomatoes for salads or baking and a
tomato PURGE for soups or sauces. The
departments recipe is as follows;
Select firml uniformly red, ripe
tomatoes of medium size. Put into
traps and lower into boiling water for
/ minute. Remove, plunge into cold
water drain, and cut out the core with
a slender-pointed knife without cutting
into the seed cells. Peel promptly and

Huntington

HUNTINGTON, Ca, July 26.-If
there is any interest connected with
farm operations demanding close and
constant attention it is that of the boil
weevil, and right now. The cotton
crop is virtually finished and daily
searches and examination should be
made in order to check the first APP
pearance of this dangerous and de-
structive pest. W. j. BOyett, county
demonstration, went over considerable
area of cotton lands last week, taking
in G. W. Nunn's, Lee Johnson's and
Walters Heys, and with as light infes-
tation on Walter Heys' place. not a
weevil or the sign of weevil, was
found. With these favorable oondl-
tions at this advanced stage of the crop
and for the next month a sharp look
out for the bugs appearance, scarce
w an excuse can be offered why fine
crop should not be gathered. Then
think a moment, neighbor; your hrst
bale is almost sure to pass into your
Jeans about $4,000. By golly that's
enough to make you get busy, step high
and feel good. Don't get scared OF
the boil weevil you can whip the lit"
tie rascal; so stop your complaints
wear a real bright smile, and the next
day all forebodings of evil Will be
gone. Can you do that?

RELATIONS OF CAPITAL
AND LABOR AFTER WAR

LONDON, July 26.-The vital ques-
ton of labor after the war and the
relationship between master and men
is receiving particular attention in of
fetal as well as trade circles. A be-
lated report issued by a subcommittee
o. the reconstruction committee for
the permanent improvement of rela J.
tons between employers and workmen
Las just been issued and sent out to
the leading employers associations and
trades unions.
In a covering letter, Sir D. Shackel-
ton says that the war cabinet is deeply
concerned that timely measures should
be taken before the end of the war for
the future of industry
The report recommends the estab-
liahment of an organization for each
industry representative of employers
ard employees to consider matters af-
fecting the trade from the point of
view of all those engaged in it.
One of the chief factors of the de
mobilization problem consists of the
guarantees given by the government
with parliamentary sanction, to re-
store trade union rules and customs
suspended during the war The re-
port considers that the definite coop
Grafton and acquiescence by both en-
ployers and employed must be a condi-
ton of any setting aside of these
guarantees and undertakings and that
If new arrangements, satisfactory to
all parties, but not in strict accord
ance with the guarantees, are to be
reached, they must be the joint work
o. employers and employed.
National industrial councils are adj
vocated in order to secure cooperation
by granting to working men and wo
men a greater share in the considera-
tion of matters affecting their industry.
The following questions are mention
ed as being specially suitable for con-
slderation
Better utilization of practical know
ledge and experience.
share in and responsibility for deter
mination and observance of conditions
of work
Settlement of general principles OF
employment including methods of fix
ing. paying and re-adjusting wages. Es-
tablishment of regular methods of ne
gotiation with view to preventing diff
ferences between master and man.
Means Of insuring to workers the
greatest possible security of earnings
and employment.
Technical education and training.
Industrial research.
Provision for full consideration of
inventions and Improvements designed
bv workers and for the adequate safe
harding of the rights of the design
ers
improvements of processes, machin-
ery and organization and full consider
alton Of workers point of view.
Proposed legislation affecting the in
| dustry.
No suggestions are offered in the
report on profit sharing, co-partnership
or particular systems of wages. we
are convinced" says the report, that
permanent improvement in the rela-
tions between employers and employed
must be founded upon something other
| than cash basis"

SPECULATE ON FATE
OF BRIG. GENERALS
Expect One of Four in Eighth Divi-
sion to Be Dropped.

Oficers of the Third Regiment and
other Guard organizations OF the Dis
trict are wondering what effect reor-
ganization of the United States army
along French lines will have on the
fortunes of brigadier generals in
Washington and nearby cities.
There are four brigadier generals iii
the Eighth National Guard division,
of which the District of Columbia is
a part. and there is only room for
three. One will have to be dropped
or at least that is the gossip among
officers OF the National Guard here.
The four brigadiers are Gen. Charles
w. Barber, OF New Jersey. who has
just been assigned to the command of
the Twenty-ninth Tactical division
which includes all District Guard
units except the First Separate Bat
TALON and the Coast Artillery COM
panies, Gen. William r. Harvey. of
Washington: Gen. Charles D. Gather.
Of Maryland, and Gen. Vaughn, OF
Virginia.
Gen. Barber, as the senior brigadier
general of the division, was given
command of approximately 5000
troops. The administrative affairs of
the division will be directed frcm Sea-
Girt, n. j.. until the division is mo-
bilized at its Southern training camp.
These are days OF great and sudden
changes at the War Department, and
1t is barely possible that some Of the
Southern training camps will have
four brigades. In that case it would
be possible to appoint all four brig
adiers in the division to a command

DANIELS NVOKES
HAND OF JUSTICE
Secretary Says Liquor Selling to
Men in Uniform Will Be
Unpro6table.

In q signed article to the National
War Council Of the Y. NJ. c. A.. Sec
retary Of the Navy Daniels yesterday
assured the mothers Of the boys who
are TO hsht the battles Of the nation
on the sea that the Navy Department
has taken upon itself the role Of
guardian for the protection Of the
moral and physical capacities Of the
men who enlist for service aboard the
men-of-war. OF the United States navy.
Mr.. Daniels declares that, although
the authorities OF prominent summer
resort were satisfied with the check
ing Of vice to a great extent and that
although there had been no open scan
dals at that resort, the Navy Depart
ment had stepped in and demanded Of
, the governor Of the state that It be
cleaned, absolutely, Of all the places
Of III fame which were being operated
within the precincts OF training sta
tions for the naval recruits.
Discusses Recent Crusade.
"ot all the sacrifices that have been
made" writes Secretary Daniels, that
are being made, or that will be made
for our country in this war, there 10
no sacrifice 30 heroic. 30 unselfish. so
terrible, as the sacrifice OF the mother
who sends her son. in his strong, clean
young manhood. from the protecting
influence OF his home, to live, to fight,
to die, II needs be, with no one near
to guide or advise him, save his MILL
tary superiors. No men can fully
realize what this sacrifice means;
| only q mothers heart can under
stand"
Boys who 60 into the service must
be more than cannon fodder" writes
the secretary, and continues:
Those who prate that interest In
this matter Is ''unmilitary." show a
sad ignorance Of what military"
means. There is nothing 30 important
from a military standpoint as the
morale Of the men. and morale and
morals in the long run are synono-
nous. Nature invariably Furnishes
the offender against her laws by dis
ease. A sailor or a soldier to be
eficient must be healthy, to be
healthy he must be clean-living. A
man in the military service. stricken
by any Of the diseases that follow
/ excess or unclean living, is as dead
! for military purposes as IL he was
stricken by the enemy's fire."
Regarding the effect Of his instruct
ed crusade against vice in Newport.
r. l., Secretary Daniels says: There
has been established a new order Of
things at Newport that will remain
so long as the navy remains there.
Either the naval establishment there
or the bawdy house will 90.
LAS for those who seek to make
profit by selling liquor against the
law to men in uniform. the hand of
| justice will fall so suddenly, and SO
heavily, as to make it the most un-
profitable trade in existence"

There is a large attendance at these

shooting gallery as a patriotic spur
to young men is said by army officers
TO be very great, but one disa agreeable
feature OF many of the resorts is the

Storage Space Urged
To Relieve Railroads

Development of the storage facili-

war needs. The creation of addi-
tional storage space so there will be
no added hindrance to the already
overburdened railroads Is urged upon
all shippers in a special bulletin issued
by the Chamber OF Commerce of the
United states, acting with the storage
committee of the Council of National
Defense.
The committee has been advocating
the use of motor trucks for short
hauls to release freight cars for long
er hauls. Attention is directed to the
fact that in Europe motor trucks are
Used for all hauls less than forty
miles.
Release the freight cars by imme-
diate unloading" says the bulletin,
'and contribute to the efficacy of the
railroads. This can be done by aug
menting storage space everywhere"

RESERVE OFFICERS
At TARGET RANGE
Three Companies of Student Off
GERS Practicing at Edsall.

The speeding up" process in the
training of the 200 student-officers at
Fort Myer began yesterday when
three companies-the Third, Sixth
and Ninth-laden with heavy march
ing outfits, hiked to the Edsall rifle
range for combat firing practice,
which will last three days. The firing
will be done at unknown ranges and
at disappearing targets. From now
until the camp ends, two weeks hence,
the companies will practice under
conditions which approximate those
in actual battle.
Although at the present time, in a
company of 800 men there are only
seventy rifles. the rest being special
ists-machine gunners. mortar men
and grenade thrOwers-the army Of
tiCers realize that the rife, in the
hands Of the man who can shoot
straight and shoot with rapidity, is
still a wicked weapon. Also, that the
bayOnet is just as important as it ever
was. Evidence that the stUdent-ofTi-
GERS are making progress in hitting
the mark at their practice shooting
Is shown by the fact that a large
number have already qualified as
marksmen, and wear the coveted in
signals. The student-officers now use
the Springfield army rife, but will
eventually be supplied with the new
Enfield. which rifle has been adopted
for use by American troops in France.
Expert riflemen claim that the En-
field rifle will shoot as accurately as
the Springfield rife in the hands of
the average marksman, while its
sights are better for modern condi-
tions of warfare, in that 1t enables
the soldier to shoot with greater
rapidity.
The new Enfield rife to be used by
American troops will be bored, rifed
and chambered for use with the high
powered United States cartridge and
.3O-Caliber bullet.
