DO YOU WANT HELP ON THE FARM

1t looks as if there would be more
land seeded by the farmers and others
this year than ever before. On ac
count of the war, labor will be scarce.
1t is essential that every acre of
ground planted should bring forth to
its utmost in order to bring this about
much help is needed. If the farmers
of our county will organize and let it
be known what help is necessary, the
Pilot will do all it can to assist in Sc
curing this help. There are all kinds
of organizations in Wausau ready to
enlist in this kind of work-that is
to seeing that help is supplied; if
there is not, there should be. If the
farmers will make known their labor
needs, the Pilot will publish same
without cost. Let everybody coop
crate in this work of food production.

Poor Fighting Material
Military Officers Say"

Just at this time when everybody
is expecting war with Germany and
the question of who will be called
on to shoulder arms should Presi-
dent Wilson issue call for troops
the following is published in the Bal
timore Sun. The article in part says:
The man of 10 who is now having
more bad nights than he ever had
is not of much value to a fighting or
ganization, and army experts realize
it. For one thing, his age makes
him less amcnable to discipline that
the young man between the age of Is
and 26. For another thing, he is
usually soft physically, and while
he would 60 through a hardning pro-
cess in the course of his military
training, he runs more risk of collaps-
ing under the process than the young
er man. And for another thing, he
more often has family to support
and responsibilities to the State ol
the nation that he can serve better
by continuing to occupy the niche
he has carved for himself in the po-
litical and economical hall of fame.
So that the talk-the very earnest
talk-of enrolling every able bodied
man in the State between the ages of
Is and As, and then of drafting them
for service when service is required,
touches the man of 10 only in a re-
mote way. He will be enrolled, it is
true.
Not even the man of 40 can get
by the army examining surgeons
with pleas that he, of his own know
ledge, knows that he has Bright's
disease or rheumatism or flat feet.
And not even his own physicians
certificate will get him by The
army surgeon himself is the Judge of
that, and his decision is final. If
things come to such a pass that the
man of 10 is called upon to serve, de-
pend upon it, he will serve, if his
physique and his mentality permit
1t.
But he will not necessarily be put
on the firing line. Clerical work at
army headquarters has to be done.
Some of it is done now by men Of 10
but if the nations man power begins
to run short, the men of 10 who are
now doing the clerical work will fill
the gaps in the firing line, and the
civilian men of 40 will fill the gaps
they leave at the typewriters and the
telephones in headquarters.
They may drive teams of army
mules or they may run automobile
trucks. They may stir soup kettles
or cook salt horse in the commissary
kitchens. They may tlaunt signal
flags, or they may carry dispatches.
But as the matter stands now,
the man of 4O-the settled, satisfied
family raising American business man
can smoke his evening pipe or cigar
and read the war news in compara-
tive peace of mind. For the time be-
ing he can let George do it, both
for George and for himself. His
country's eye is on him, sure enough,
but its hand is on the shoulder of the
sort of man he was 20 years ago.
