 The president has notified congress that before ad- ourment he should be given broader powers to protect American rights in of an emergency.

ARMY Y. Nj. @. A.
HELPS SOLDIERS

That the American soldier in the
new national army may improve his
opportunities, save his money and
come out of the war in far better
financial, intellectual and physical
condition, than when he went into
1t, is the promise held out to him
both by the United States govern
ment and the national war work
council of the Young Mems Christian
association of the United States.
The army Y. M. C. A. is giving
educational courses to men in any
subject that a group of them may
select. Already in many canton
ments large classes in French are
being held with some of the best
instructors in the country in charge.
These instructors in many cases
have volunteered for this service.
Glasses in Spanish and even in Rus
sian are held.
Every advantage is being placed
in the way of the American soldier
to improve his condition so that
when he goes back into private life
after the close of the war, he will
be able to command better position
and a higher salary than he did be-
fore.
Not only along educational lines
is the army Y M. C. A. striving to
help the enlisted man. 1t is making
it possible for him to save his
money, the Y. M. c. A. secretaries
at the camps accepting the deposits
from the soldiers. "Save your raise"
is already a slogan in the camps and
many of the enlisted men are doing
it against the day when they will
return to private life.
With these advantages before
them, with the splendid physical de-
velopment which army life makes
possible, with proper nOurishment,
entertainment and recreation, the
new American soldier has every in
ducement to raise the standard of
his mental, moral and financial
standing and assume finer and
higher position in life when he
leaves the service.

SUGGESTIONS TO FARMERS

The school will adjourn for Oc-
tober so you can get pupils to work
in the harvest of beets and potatoes.
Think this over and consider some
of the social advantages it will bring
If you can have guest or two from
town to mingle for a week or more
with your own family. Besides get
ting the work done, these young
folks will learn a great deal from
each other. The merchants child
ren do not know how hard the farm
ers work. The farmers children do
not practice as much of the nice lit
tie courtesies and pleasing table
manners as do most of their friends
from town. The boys and girls on
the farms are not so merry and
cheeky as some of their friends from
town, who have had too little to do.
1t might do them all good to be COM
rades at hard work for a week or
two. If
