Work About Farms
FARMERS ARE FACING SERIOUS PROB.
LENS IN SECURING ADEQUATE
LABOR.

The AmeriC an farmer faces a problem
today the like of which he has never
had to meet before. During the past
few months an insistent demand has
arisen in this country for increased
food production on the farm. The
president of the United States has call
ed upon the farmers to increase their
crops, and agricultural societies
throughout the country have made eV-
cry effort to respond.
The government has gone still far
Their and has adopted a food control
program. which includes the fixing of
prices for many food commodities,
thereby guaranteeing to the farmer a
fixed return for his industry.
However, with thousands of the
young men in the service Of the cOun-
try, and with the industries in the
cities drawing upon every known
source of labor, the supply Of farm
hands is far short of the number nee
essary to harvest the enormous crops
that have been grown.
There is only one way to meet this
shortage in the labor market, and that
is the introduction of power driven
machines to do many of the chores
about the farm that are now being
performed by hand thus allowing more
OF the man power to be applied in the
field to the growing Of crops and doing
such tasks as cannot be done by ma
chinery.
For many years engineers the world
over have been trying to apply cleo
tricity to our modern farms. their
chief aim being to bring the cOnven-
fence of this useful servant to the
farmer and his family.
The best engineering brains and abil-
ity of the country have for many years
been devOting time to bring or to make
electricity available for the country,
and now the shortage of labor tOgeth-
er with the lettering of living condi-
tons in the country have made devel-
opments along this line a necessity

developed so that the benefits of cleo
tricity are now available for the cOun-
try as we'll - the city.
A complete electric light and power
plant helps to solve the farm labor
problem, for such plant is in reality
another servant on the farm, and
willing one at that, ready to give its
services tWenty-fOur hours per day
with no thought of long hours or

DIN AUTOMOBILES. Inc bearings are
of the roller and ball type, all OF
these parts operating in a closed
case in a bath of OIL making the
power unit almost understandable
with the hardest possible service.
The outfit has been designed
throughout, to make it practical
piece Of farm equipment, from which
all traces of complication must neces-
surily lie eliminated. When it be-
comes necessary to rechaTge the bat
teries. the engine is started by mere
ly pressing in on the starting switch
located on the switchboard. This
electrically crankS the engine just as
the automobile engine is cranked by
the electric self-Starter. The engine
starts running on its own power in a
few seconds. When the batteries are
completely charged, the engine stops
automatically and since the engine
is air-cooled there is no danger of its
freezing so that once started it may
be left to take care of itself
Delco-Light will run on either gas
oIine, kerosene or gas, the supply be-
ing regulated by simple lever-oper-
ated mixing valve and not by a COM
plicated carbureatOr. One gallon of 1Oc
coal Oil or kerosene in Delco-Light
will make more bright safe electric
current useful for light than can be
made by three times this much 15c

Military Training
Up To School Board

Military training in the public
schools will come before the school
board at the meeting to be held this
evening The matter has been brought
before the school board by the action
of the young men in the high school
who are desirous Of receiving military
training.
Should company be formed, Jnder
the direction Of an instructor selected
bv the board, service is NOT compulsory.
The law requires that only 20 or mole
of the students express wish to have
company formed. The:l Joining is
elective as in any study. Moreover, 10
military service is required, nor enlist-
ment for any time. A young man may
join the high school company and at
his request may receive his discharge
the next week, without prejudice.
The law requires three hours drill a
week and for eight months in the year
The school board is to furnish the place
for drill and the instructor The stGte
will furnish the equipment. But in Eo
respect does the young man make him
self liable for military duty and wnen
he joins the high school company, it is
for no definite time. 1T may he one
week or eight months, just as he pre-
fers.

Five Hundred Acres
Beans To Be Planted

Five hundred acres will be planted
in beans and the changes are good for
even a much larger acreage this spring
This assurance was given by the 40
farmers who attended the meeting held
Saturday afternoon at the Commercial
club. The meeting was called to deter
mine whether enough farmers were in
terested in the raising of beans to
Justify the erection in Salem of a
cleaning and grading plant. G. Il. Pat
terson of Portland, interested in the
Salem Fruit company, was willing to
give assurance that factory would
be erected here provided the farmers
would agree to plant at least 300
acres.
The crop will be handled by the Sa-
lem Fruit company, the local branch
of the Oregon Fruit company. The com
pany agrees to furnish the market and
grade and clean all seed on ten pc!
cent commission. 1t is figured that the
farmer will more than make this com.
mission in having his beans cleaned
and graded, as the local market can
then compete with California. The

planted more than any other bean, as

Governor Withycombe told a few
plain facts and expressed some pretty
positive opinions at the patriotic meet
ing held last evening at the First Con-

The governor, when he talks about
our unprepared condition and general

tion of mind TO the false teachings of

he said. "Germany cannot war with
us as she is exhausted. There are mil

we will have to reckon with them.

ed into the Oregon legislature that af-

LISTEN TO THIS!
SAYS C0RNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW


You reckless men and women who
are pesteTed with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn, root and all,
lifts out with the fingers.
1t is a sticky ether compound which
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without inflam-
nation or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin. 1t is claimed that
a quarter Of an ounce of freezone will
cost very little at any OF the drug stores
but is sufficient to rid ones feet OF
every hard or soft corn or eallus.
You are further warned that cutting
at corn is a suicidal habit.
