Greene Recognized as Coming Man.

Among the senators and representa-

Congressman Greene of the First con.
gressional district OF Vermont
There WIS no politics in this, but
the fact that a republican congress
man from n small state like Vermont
was asked to advise with the presi-
dent on a subject Of national import
naturally calls for some explanation.
Us minority member OF the house
committee on military affairs, il was
up to Greene, according to accepted
political rules, to play il safe ana
follow the majority OF his committee.
This was the comfortable and obvious
way, but he did not see it that way.
Evidently the occasion for raising a
( big army appealed to him as a nation,
( III matter, rather than as an affair OF
partisan or committee politics. Ac-
IcordingIv he and seven other members
/ Of his committee decided to make 4
minority report for 4 couscript army
and carry the fight to the floor of the
house.
What happened is history, and most

sidered it foregone conclusion from

ANOTHER GOOD COMMISSION

The commission named under the fish hatcheries bill-Senator J. R. Heckman B. NJ. Behrends and w, w. Casey-is guarantee of efficient and honest man to be valid. All of them are who vitally and intensely in the development of Southea Alaska and they exceptionally well qualified as business and citizens to administer capably any public duty they may be called upon to perform
 There is good deal of doubt as to the validity of the law will be remembered that the bill creat- ing the commission and carrying appropriation Of $50 e1e-feF-fish- hatcheres mslaid and not de-
 vered to the Governor until after the Legislature ad journed Gov Strong signed the bill, however within three days after the adjournment. Lawyers who have looked into the matter have held that the Governor within the law in signing the bill notwithstanding tke adjournment of the Legislature, but that the pro of the organic act that requires the Legislature transmit bill after it's passage by the two houses and the signatures of the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House have been attached cannot be complied with after the adjournment of the Legis lature They hold that eh power of the Legislature to perform duty ends when the Legislature adjourns delivered to the In other words if the bill had transmitted to the Governor before the ad journemnt and not signed until afterwards. it would be all right if signed within three days of the date of it's delivery; but the authority to make delivery terminated with the termination of the Legislative session.

GOVERNMENT HAS SYSTEM
 FOR LAB0RERS Will Supply Farmhands Throughout Country and Not Interfere
 with Soldiers. ASSISTANCE IS ASKED Community Boards Will Be Sought To Supply
 Sufficient Men
 for Farms.
ASSISTANCE IS ASKED

WASHINGTON, May 16 By maiD Reorganization of National government system of supplying la bor for the country's farms this summer probably will be completed by the Agriculture and Labor De- partments within two weeks, and in a short time thereafter the govern ment expects to be enrolling hun dreds of thousands of men, women and boys for farm work.
 The plan, outlined today by w. J. Spillman, Chief of the Agriculture Departments office of farm manage ment, calls for the cooperation of all State food organizations. In each state the governor will name a board to direct the work, the boards to name county agents, and they in turn community agents. Many governors already have named boards from their State Food Commissions.
 Community agents will register persons who can give part of their time this summer to farm labor, and will register also the ordinary surplus of farm labor. In addition they will ascertain their local farm labor needs, and where possible will place the labor in their own commun- ities.
 The community agents will report to county agents any surplus of la bor or labor needs, and county agents will report it in turn to State boards. If labor surplus or shortage exists in state, the boards will report to the Agriculture Department, and the Labor Department will assist in ob taining the proper distribution. Rail- roads will aid by giving low trans portation rates to laborers.
 Two hundred and fifty thousand posters will be sent throughout the country soon, calling on persons to enroll for farm labor. The depart ments behind the plan believe cities and villages can supply great deal of labor for short periods.

COTTAGE CHEESE NUTRITIOUS
 FOR FOOD Government Experts Say Milk Ingredient Is Important Meat
 Substitute. CONTAINS MUCH PROTEIN Pound of Cottage Cheese Will Supply Protein
 Sufficient for
 All Needs.
CONTAINS MUCH PROTEIN

WASHINGTON, May 16. (By maiD Cottage cheese is one of the important meat substitutes, say spec ialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. It contains a larger percentage of protein (the chief material for body building) than most meats and furnishes this material at a lower cost. In every pound of cottage cheese there is about one-fifth of a pound of protein, nearly all of which is digestible.
 Meats, on the other hand, usually contain less protein and besides have a certain waste, such as bone and other inedible material. A pound of cottage cheese daily would supply all the protein required by the or dinary adult engaged in a sedentary occupation.
 Cheaper Than Meat
 The following table shows that cottage cheese, obtainable at from 12 to IF cents pound, is much :heaper than most meats in furnish ng protein for the diet.
 For supplying prOteln, one pound ,f cottage cheese equals: 127 pounds sirloin steak; 1.09 pounds round steak; 1:27 pounds chuck rib beef; 1:52 pounds fowl; 1 :46 pounds fresh ham; LA pounds of smoked ham; 1.58 pounds loin pork chop; 1.31 pounds hind leg of lamb; 1.27 pounds breast of veal.
 In addition to protein, energy for performing body work must be fur nished by food. AS source of en- ergy also cottage cheese is cheaper than most meats at present prices. The following table shows the com parison when energy is considered.
 On the basis of energy supplied, one pound of cottage cheese equals SIS ounces sirloin steak; 11A ounces round steak; 11A ounces chuck rib beef; 1OA ounces fowl; 51a ounces fresh ham 5 ounces smoked ham; ounces loin pork chop; 7h ounces hind leg of lamb; 12A ounces of breast of veal.

VENIZELISTS IN SERBIA

The appearance of Venizest troops fighting with the French in Serbia will give the proGerman Greeks including the King something to think about
 Perhaps they hold that the Germans will win a complete victory and that the Venzeists by fighting the Allies foreign soil seal their own fate and assure firmer monarchy in Greece after the war
 It is more likely that they see the world lining up against the Central Powers their hope sinks and they perceive that followers of Venizeos will shape a new Greece, in winch Germany will have nc chance to reward the royaists turned their backs on Serbia and looked to the Kaiser as an overlord.
 venzelos has not been heard from often in re cent months, but it will be forgotten that he has stood as a rock for democracy in the Balkan country. He is of those who have made great records during times when only great can make them.
