I One Of your most pressing prob
lems and one to be acted upon without
delay, is the matter Of obtaining your
fertilizer.
In spite Of the best efforts of the
manufacturers and the Government,
materials for making fertilizers are
scarce and high in price. Therefore,
1t is all the more necessary that what
fertilizers are to be distributed, should
be used upon soil that has received the
very best preparations the farmer is
capable Of giving.
The mobilization of our army, re-
Quiring maximum movement Of
troop trains and supply trains, has ov-
er-taxed the capacity of our railroads
as never before. and in order for fer
tiliZers to be distributed this season,
the movement must Of necessity, be-
gin early and the unloading of cars

| despatch. Every car must be loaded
to capacity.

assure the performance of a patriotic
duty, with great profit to yourself. or

Satisfactory results are bound to fol-

Plans for General Con-
scriptiOn After War

Copenhagen, Dec. 15.-(Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press. )-Plans
for general conscription of women af-
ter the war, and there is general
feeling that girls, as we'll as boys,
will be compelled to undergo a regular
. period of training corresponding to
The German youths service in the ar
ny. The service proposed for girls is
not military, but civil. 1t is propos-
ed that all women should, prefer
ably at the age of II, be taken from
their homes and compulsory "train-
ed, either in a profession, trade, or
in household duties.
The characteristic German division
between rich and poor is maintained in
the project. Girls of the upper class
G are to be trained in special insti-
tutions, poor girls will go to factories
or be placed in private households,
where their employers will give them
4 trifle of pocket money and make a
contribution to the state.
The idea meets with wide commen-
6ation in the German newspapers but
che English critic notes that "there
IS some difference between male con-
scription which puts man into a
regiment run by and for the state, and
: a female conscription which makes a
: girl work without wage for the profit
Of private individuals. The latter can
! not with accuracy be called anything
! but slavery.
A short time ago Berlin sociologi-
Z. cal society offered series of prizes
for the best essay on compulsory ser
vice for women, and 145 essays were
submitted. The best two have just
been published. The magazine Sozi-
ale Praxis, in reviewing the essays
submitted, says:
There is a general agreement that
by thorough compulsory training,
the services of women to the country
will become much greater than here
