HELPING THE FARMER

r. Ketchum. made strong presenta-
ton of the farming situation with re-
gard to the necessity Of providing the
labor for increased acreage and larger
crops. He sketched with much vivid
ness the plight of the farmer who is
e1pected to do more without being sup
plied with the necessary help 10 per
form his task. Surely Wheeling and
every other community in the country
is fully acquainted with the exigencies
of the hour with all the publicity that
has been given it through the press
and other agencies engaged in i'm
pressing the food supply problem upon
the minds of the people.
Mr.. Ketchum was eminenty right IN
insisting that the most practical 'soia'
ton Of the difficulty OF securing lahc-
for the farm 10 be through the Tolun'
teer' farm army plan, and that the only
way to accomplish results is immedi-
ate organization Of men for such ser
vice. Such scheme is now being
promoted by the Wheeling CONNER
cial Association, and it is the duty OF
those who are disqualified from do

ways to rally to the farm colors. where

well as their own community, as
though they bore arms. Manning the

The object Of a minimum price to pro-

would have TO be done under proper

The shortage Of important crops in
this Nation, the greatly depleted rr-
sources abroad, and the waste and de-

continuance Of remuneratiye prices,
but as an additional assurance to far

U. S. STEEL PATRIOTISM

Perhaps there is no industrial organ
, izauon, with the exception Of the Stand
ard Oil Company. which has been so
much the! sport Of unreasoning dema-
gogues as the United States Steel Cor
poration. Nor is there any other ag-
gregauon Of invested capital that has
been so ruthlessly pursued and heck
lied by officious government agencies
who have acted under misguided mo-
itives. Even now 1t is under the NEIL
ace OF suspended suit for dissolu-
lion. Yet with all the endeayors to
prejudice it, it has been one of the
most beneficent agencies for the adj
jvancement and prosperity of labor and
to-day exists as the most potential
force back Of the government in the
!! industrial sense.
But this much abused corporation Is
more than that. 1t is practically as
well as spiritually patriotic. 1t has
made, it is true, unuual profits out OF
the industrial renaissance due to the
world war, but it now comes forward
with its bit" for the country by an
;rouncing through its chairman, Judge
Gary, that the corporation would sub
scribe to the extent Of s5000,000 for
the one-year certificates OF indebted
ness, and indicates when the govern
ment's war bonds were issued, the cor
poration's subscription would be even
larger. He announced also, the direc-
tors had voted to anticipate payment
to the government of $500, 900 income
tax not due until June Is and to SUD-
scribe $4,000 to the 100000 now be-
ing raised for the army and navy
branches Of the Young Mems Christian
Association. Notwithstanding this con-
crete demonstration of the collective
public spirit and loyalty of its direct
ling forces there will be some Of the
stiffnecked doubters who will fain dis
believe that any good can come out ue

r1oNA1 EDrroR1A1 SERVICE THE WHEE11Na INTELI1Gf
THE ARMY OF THE LAND
When the Farmer Works for Uncle Sam.
BY G. SCOTT DALGLEISH
Formerly General MANAGER of the Agricultural Bank
Formerly General Manager Of the Agricultural Bank
of Egypt.

There are signs everywhere that the
United States has taken up in all
seriousness the problem Of mobiliZing
field" army to develop to the full
est the agricultural resources Of the
country.
Not only is the federal government
giving the most careful consideration
10 the matter Of food supply but the
, several state administrations are tax
ing vigorous individual action. The
general conference at st. Louis pre-.
sided over by Secretary Houston has
been followed by various state con-
vsntions and informal meetings. Def
mite progress has been made in pro-
viding for credits, in examining into
the supply OF seed available. in
encouraging the tillage of vacant
lands. in arranging that school boys
be taught husbandry and in searching
for the means to provide extra labor
for the undermined farms of the
country.
This last feature is the most serious
problem TO be faced; TO find the rank
and file for the great army that is to
maintain the Qroductiveness of the
country. The situation recalls Lord
Fishers plan Of skeleton crews for
the British navy. This consisted in
maintaining in commission the mini
mum of highly trained seamen. gun
ners and petty officers and, in case Of
need, calling upon the merchat marine
and the fishing fleets for the men nee
essary to complete the crews of the
ships. The farmers Of this country
provide the skilled officers corps of
the skeleton system, what must be
supplied now is the material for the
rank and file.
1t is almost inevitable that slips

MARITAL L" SLACKERS

One OF the great life insurance conf
panies has deduced a significant state
of affairs that prevails in the country
from the statistics it has gathered, aud
which is a distinct menace to the fu-
ture welfare of the nation. 1t finds
that there are ten million unmarried
men in the United States between the
aces of is and a. which is nearly half
the total of twenty-five million men IN
this age period. To this disclosure is
coupled the statement; that there are
about nine million Of minated women
in the country. Of the men in this class
it is stated that a vast number are OF
sound health and financially able TO
marry. Why do they not do it? This
is no trifling question. It may soon
become one OF national importance
and concern, especially as the nation
today has a declining birth rate.
Clearly for the safety OF the state
and of the race We now need not only
more soldiers but more fathers and
mothers. Soon large number of meu
are to be sent to the battle front. In
der these conditions the significance
of the excessive number Of unmarried
people is obvious The development
OF expensive tastes by our young wom-
en- and the high cost Of living furnish
excuses for many young men to re-
main single But there are surely
three million out OF the ten million to
whom these excuses could not apply
and who, in the natural order OF
things, should be married. The wealth
OF our people has increased marre-
lousy in recent years and the proper
ton of married people should have III
creased accordingly. The insurance
Statement closes with these pertinent
reflections:

fittion. q vast number OF young women
