Stockholm.-The Bakers Association
Of Sweden presented q memorial to
the state economic commission setting
forth the difficulties Of obtaining sufl-
Client rye and wheat -four and asking
the authorities to permit and to order
them to use a certain proportion Of oat
or barley -four In bread. The bakers
assert that the situation indicates with
certainty that such a measRe must be
eventually resorted to and point out the
advisability of doing 1t now instead of
delaying until the time when the pro-
portions OF barley and oats must neces-
sarily be greater than would be the
case now.
A body Of female factory workers es-
timated at 5000 marched recently in
an orderly manner through southern
and western Stockholm to the Office Of
the largest local milk company, where
they demanded better distribution Of
milk and lower prices.
Hunger demonstrations continue at
various places In the kingdom.

FARM HANDS GET s45
A MONTH, WITH BOARD
Thaps In South Dakota, Where Bump
or Crops Are Predicted.

Sioux Falls, 8. D.-Because Of q
shortage Of farm hands it has become
necessary In many parts Of South Da-
kota for the women and boys Of the
households and even the girls to work
In the fields So the farmers and their
wives and children are hard at work
putting In what Is believed to be the
greatest acreage OF spring wheat In the
history of the state.
With the prospect that prices for
foodstuffs will continue high during
the war the farmers have decided to in
crease their crop acreage. With a IA
vorable season South Dakota will pro-
duce this year the greatest crop of
foodstuffs in its history. The residents
Of towns are preparing to have larger
vegetable garuens than ever before, so
there is every indication that the state
will make a new record In crop pro-
duction this year.
Farm hands ready for work demand
from $35 to $45 a month and board,
and in many instances the farmers pay
these prices. Only a few years ago
good farm hands could be had from
S12 to $40 a month and board, and
those who received the higher figure
were the envied Of their fellows.

hEBRASKA'S CONVICTS
MAY GO To THE FRONT
They Are to Be Drilled In Tactics
by the Warden In the State
Penitentiary.

Lincoln, Neb.-The state penitentiary
Is to be turned into military garrison
for part of each day.. and the states
prisoners will become soldiers If nee
essary. Warden Fenton has decided
on military drill for practically all the
convicts as soon as sham wooden guns
can be made. Prison Secretary O'Con-
nell, a member of the First Nebraska
regiment in the Spanish-American war.
Will be drillmaster in chief.
Should the war with Germany reach
such stage as to become a drain on
the citizens of the country Warden
Fenton believes the younger prison in
mates may be called to the front. He
says he is adopting the military drill
as one Of preparedness.
The warden will himself take the
training with his charges, and If the
convicts are summoned to war he will
offer his services. He is popular with
the men, and they say they would want
no better leader. Many have expressed
their eagerness to enlist-three-quar-
tiers OF them-the prison authorities
say. There are about twenty former
soldiers and sailors In the prison, and
these are expected to act as aids to
Secretary O'Connen In teaching the
war game. The warden says he will
see to it that the men lack nothing I'm
knowledge.
He has issued a call to the three
cooks in the prison that they show
their patriotism by complying with the
request of President Wilson with re-
spect to wasting Of foods. The peni-
tertiary farm is to be enlarged mate

A RAILROAD ARMY
Will Build Up Lines of Traffic In
France.
Nine REGIMENTS CALLED

They viii Be Part of Regular Force,
and at Head of Each Regiment as
Colonel Will Be Engineer Officer OF
Army-construotion Will Be Main
Work.
New York.-Need for expert railroad
men to repair the lines In France Is so
pressing that an urgent call has been
sent out by the railroads war board to
the various roads Of the country for
assistance in organizing nine regiments
Of railroad men to go at once to France
They will be a part.of the regular
army, and at tie head Of each regiment
as colonel will be an engineer officer
Of the army.
The plans Of the board call for five
construction regiments, one shop or re-
pair regiment and three operating regi-
ments. Construction will be the main
work Of the men sent over, but the re-
pair and operating needs are hardly
less immediate A notice sent out by
the railroads war board says:
"The French railways are badly run
down. They need more or less complete
rehabilitation. France has no men who
can be spared for this work. She wants
all her men at the front Before we can
train men to go into the trenches we
can supply Frances railroad wants,
and we can do 1t practically immedi-
ately. Any men we send over must be
soldiers, so it will be necessary for the
railroad forces to enter the army.
1--WE propose to make up five con-
struction regiments Of six companies
each to do this rehabilitation. Each
regiment will have an engineer officer
Of the United States army as colonel
and another officer from the army as
an adjutant. The other officers will be
made up Of railroad men, except that
the commissary will be provided by
the United States army. Each lieuten-
ant colonel will be a chief engineer of
a railroad or some one else Of similar
experience. The captains will be taken
from the engineers Of maintenance Of
way, the lieutenants from supervisors
or road masters and the noncommis-
stoned officers from track and bridge
foremen. The privates will be track
laborers.
'The pressing need just now is for
officers for these. regiments. They will
require five chief engineers, thirty en-
ginee-s Of maintenance Of way, ninety
supervisors or road masters, sixty track
foremen and thirty bridge foremen.
Each company will have 100 track la
borers and fourteen bridge carpenters
as privates.
1.-THE next important requirement of
the French railways is for shop forces.
They are short Of men to repair their
locomotives. 1t is proposed to organize
a shop regiment, to be made up the
same way as the construction regi-
ments, except that the lieutenant colo
mel will be a superintendent of motive
power, the captains will be master me-
chanics, the neutenants will be shop
foremen and the noncommissioned Off
GERS gang foremen. The rest Of the
company will be made up of boiler
makers, machinists, blacksmiths and
their helpers"

Waterbury, Conn.-Fred Hemmings
has invented device to Offset the dan
ger Of the torpedo In its attack from

vice is an electric arrangement Of great
magnetic power attached to the side Of
the ship, which will attract the torpedo,
bring 1t to the side Of the ship attacked
and then lift 1t to the deck without ex-
ploding it.
Mr.. Hemmings believes 1t is destined

make vessels practically immune from

considering its adoption for service.
