Don't Worry About .
Your Boy in Campi

Washington, July 15.-When your.
boy, and Mrs. Neighob, chosen in the
first citizen army, goes to the canton.
ment~ city for his training as a soldier
YOU need not lie awake nights worry
ing about his safety.
Leave that to Secretary of War
Baker, trustworthy man who appre-
ciates boys, for he has taken the re-
sponsibility on his own shoulders.
The physical and moral health of
the forces soon to be selected must be
safeguarded in every way, scientifical.
ly and rigidly.
retary's order, and he will make It
his personal business to see that the
order becomes the fact.
In effect he has adopted the slogan
OF haste not, waste not" in caring
for that most precious national re-
sources, American manhood. That the
cantonment camps be right, rather
than that they be speedily available,
is his first concern.
No Physical vultures, no moral vul-
lures will prey on your sons.
There must be no, repetition of
Camp Alger typhoid or embalmed beef
scandals" said the secretary in giving
directions. I'm no case shall the men
be called until every detail affecting
| their comfort and health has been
! worked out"
The water is to be scientifically test
ed and guarded by experts Inspectors
are looking after the drainage and the
sewage. Several times the plans have
been changed under medical depart
! ment orders. Air, light and heat in the
winter, have been considered with
scientific accuracy. Commissary
stores, including clothing and food,
! will be on hand before the men are
called. v
The food will be subject to the most
rigid inspection, and if this army of
| 687, 1000 is not the healthiest body of
| men In the world, it will be because
the secretary of war is unable to car
ry out his present firm determination.
In protecting morals the efforts of
! beyond reach all red-light districts and
the government will be first to remove
questionable resorts; and, secondly, to
substitute for the wrong kind of
amusement plenty of healthy amuse-
ments. These are to include athletic
sports, theatrical attractions, moving
pictures, music, bands choral singing
and dancing.
One committee is in communication
with prominent women to provide a
sufficient number of nice girls with
chaperons for Dances 1t is recognized
that there can be none of the social
caste which makes the regular army
private an "unsuitab BILE person" to
dance with the daughter of the Ger.
Many of these citizen privates will be
men who have associated with the best
people in their community.
There will be lectures, supplement.
Ing the theatrical and moving picture
performances. The Y. NJ. C. A. has
already undertaken to provide librar-
:os.
Each of these cities is likely to be
the home of young soldiers as least a
year.

Farmers Are Against
Farm Hands Union

The second of the series of Non
partisan. league meetings of farmers
called to discuss the farm labor prob
lem, decided here today not to enter
into any agreement with the Agricul-
tural Workers union. The $50 farm
ers present, rejecting the sentiment
through this part of the state, went
against the plan in about the same pro-
portion as the meeting at Minot yes
terday decided in its favor. -
President Townley of the league, in
opening the meeting today, stated that
it was called for the purpose of get.
ting free expression of the sentiment
of the farmers of the locality in re-
! gard to the proposed agreement with
the A. W. o., which committees of
that organization and of the Nonpar-
tisan league have worked out
| President Townley summarized both
! the possible advantages and disadvan.
tages of the plan He explained that
! the negotiations had been carried on
with the Agricultural Workers. union
! in the hope that some way might be
found to lessen the trouble with labor
| at harvest time, which is a problem
constantly confronting the farmer.
/ If were to consult merely my own
comfort and peace of mind l should
advise you not to accept this agree
ment," he said, because it means, OF
course, added work and responsibility
for league officers"
; Mr. Townley told of statements made
by c. o. Swenson and others at the
meeting at Minot yesterday that they
had employed members of the A. W.
; q. exclusively for the last year or two
and had had no trouble with their
help.
| State Agricultural Commissioner
Hagan, member of the league com.
mittee that consulted with the A. w.
U. committee, explained that it was
going to be most difficult to get farm
labor this fall, and that he believed
a working agreement with the A. W.
u, instead of the usual efforts to fight
this organization, would go far toward
solving the problem.
| THE A. W. U. has responsible heads
and they convinced your committees
that they we're honest and meant bust
ness in this effort to get together with
the farmers said the commissioner.
! ~. T.. Wulpple also explained the
proposed agreement and detailed his
own experience with A. W. U. work
ers, stating that he found them fair
when treated fair and that he believed
that they would make good if the
! agreement was entered into. Mr..
Whipple was a member of the last
legislature elected by the league. He
farms near jamestown.
Other meetings to consider the plan
will be held at Bismarck and at Devils
Lake.
