Shippers of Perishable Goods
Should Use Great Care in Packing

Washington, June 2.-Shippers at
this time should exercise unusual care
in packing and loading their perish
able products. They should grade
their products carefully with refer
ence to the degree OF their maturity
and select a nearby market for the
ripper products and a distant market
for the products that will hold up the
necessary time in transit to reach the
distant market. Weather reports
should be utilized in a study of the
weather conditions that are prevail
ing in the different large markets, to
the end that foodstuffs that normally
are consumed in large quantities in
warm weather may not be sent to
markets where cool or cold weather
is prevailing.
There should be fuller recogni-
ton of the joint responsibility of the
shipper with the carrier for the safe
carriage of food products to destina-
ton, the specialists OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture point out. Ship
pers should cooperate closely with
carriers by giving ample instructions
with reference to refrigeration and
ventilation, to the end that food
products may be properly conserved
in transit and reach channels OF con-
sumption. Railroad agents could
render useful service if they were in
structed in some of the most funda-
mental things connected with the
Omaha daily bee., 1917-06-03

proper care OF perishable shipments
during the period OF loading carload
shipments at country stations.
Shippers too frequently through
carelessness and lack of knowledge
OF the proper methods of protecting
perishable shipments leave wagon
loads of them exposed to the hot sun
for hours at time instead of loading
them promptly into refrigerator car
and keeping the doors of the car
closed between loads. The carriers
representative or local agents usually
take notice of such condition only for
the purpose of recording the circum-
stances for consideration in connec-
ton with damage claims that may be
filed. The fact frequently is over
looked that the carrier may render
definite assistance in the conservation
of foodstuffs by cooperating with the
shippers and giving them all the in
formation which it has as to the
proper methods that should be used.
Shippers should invariably notify
consignees as soon as shipments are
forwarded from point of origin.
Where the distance to market is short
the notification should be given by
wire, so that the consignees may be
in position to take more prompt
delivery Of shipments on arrival and
thus eliminate deterioration that so
frequently takes place by the holding
of shipments long periods of time
after arrival at the market.

Nation. Wide Co. Operation for
Securing More Labor on Farms

handling of all labor problems that
can be adjusted locally. The funda-
mental unit of the organization is the
community man." who, with the as
sistance Of such committees as he may
appoint, canvasses his own neighbor-
hood, finds out wha. farmers need
help, and what men are available for
supplying the local need, and affects
such adjustments as can be made
locally. II, after all local adjustments
have been made, there remains either
a deficit or a surplus Of labor, he re-
ports to the county man." whose
business it is to effect adjustments
between the several communities in
his county. The county man, in turn,
reports any deficit or surplus to the
state man." who canvasses the situa-
ton for the state as whole and re-
ports to the Department OF Agricul-
ture, which, in close cooperation with
the Department of Labor, is charged
with the distribution of mobile labor
for the country as whole.
Thus each unit in the system acts
as a clearing house for its own terri
tory, reporting to the units higher
up only when Il needs help or has
help to offer. The plan provides that
supplemental reports shall be sub
mitted by each community man
whenever changes in the local labor
situation make desirable further ad-
justments that can not be met with
the material at hand. or when a sur
plus of labor develops which he can
not use. ..
A great, many retired farmers, OF
whom there are 100000 in the country,
may be available for emergency serv-
ice under this plan OF farm labor
mobilization. The plans contemplate
also the drawing Of emergency labor
from the cities under the immediate
direction of the Department of Labor,
the effective utilization of college stu
dents and school boys. and il neces-
sary, the assignment Of volunteer wo-
men and girls to rural tasks con-
nected particularly with the feeding
and caring for harvest hands or other
extra labor, or with farm canning OF
drying of surplus perishable products.
In other words, the plan contemplates
supplying assistance not merely for
field operations, but to farm women
during their season of heaviest do
nestle duties.
Omaha daily bee., 1917-06-03

Washington. June 2.-Under the
government plan for the organization
OF farm labor, the details Of which
were announced by the United States
Department Of Agriculture today,
provision is made for nationwide CO.
operation in the solution OF the farm
help problem. The work Of organiza-
ton already has been started in about
forty states, and it is expected that
eventually every community in the
United States will be reached, II is
believed that the resultant utilization
Of emergency labor will begin to have
an appreciable effect on the farm labor
situation before the season has far
advanced. Meanwhile, the immediate
and acute problem Of supplying labor
for the harvests, now beginning in the
southwest, is being handled. so far
as the United States governments
services are concerned, through the
existing employment service Of the
United States Department OF Labor,
which will continue to handle huch
problems of mass mobilization under
the new plan as it has in the past.
The plan is based on close CO.
operation on the part of the United
States Department of Agriculture and
the United States Department of La
Dor with state committees on ma
tional defense charged with labor
matters, with the state agricultural
colleges, with the county agents, and
with county and local or township la
Dor committees or representatives to
be established in every locality. The
Department of Agriculture will rep
resent the federal authorities in de-
termining farm labor needs and in as
sisting in organizing all available
farm labor in the rural districts. The
United States Department of Labor
will devote its attention to organizing
labor in urban communities and in
dustrial regions, and will Cooperate
with the farm labor forces where nee
essary by obtaining extra labor from
the populous centers. !,

American Ambulance Service in
France a Record of High Honor

In connection with the films to be
shown at Boyd's theater on June 9,
there will doubtless be an increase OF
the already marked interest in those
books of war letters, Friends OF
France and Ambulance No. TO-"
These letters, written by the college
boys of the American Ambulance
Service in France to friends at home,
have a wonderful grip; they are so
real, so simple, and so full of the hu-
man kindness and the splendid, un-
quenchable spirit that makes the work
of these fearless young fellows a
marvel and an inspiration.
Ambulance No. TO-" a collection OF
the letters of one young ambulance
man, is especially we'll written, with
a wistful vein of sentiment running
through the stern, often narrowing
record of his daily experiences, and
bringing before ones actual eyes the
terrors and the triumphs of that VOL
untary service. A particularly direct
approval by President Lowell of Har-
ward college is good comment on
these quite remarkable and thrilling
letters: ANY one who cares to know
whether our young volunteers in the
ambulance corps are doing, their de-
votion and courage the risks they
run, the suffering and the lives they
save, should read this book. 1t has inn
pressed me more than anything else
from the front that | have seen.
Every one who reads it will want to
help support the corps, and those who
feel so may be assured that there is
no better means of aiding French
wounded soldiers than the American
Ambulance Field Service" If their
Omaha daily bee., 1917-06-03

could be any question OF their enor-
nous success on this great errand OF
mercy, it would be answered by the
fact that the commonest request OF
French wounded is to be turned over
to "the Americans care. More de-
cisive yet, their hospital service has
been officially announced 10 be the
most efficient ever operated on a
battlefeld"-this judgment not only
from the allies, but from Germans
who have also received its ministra-
tions.
Friends OF France is a more COM
prehensive book, containing letters
from different men, with addenda OF
portraits, many Illustrations, "honora-
Bile mentions" from the French gov
ernment, etc. Both the books are in
tensely absorbing and must rouse a
lively desire in readers to share some
how in the merciful work they record.
This may be done in some degree
by patronizing the exhibit of films of
the ambulance service in France,
which will shortly be here. These
films were taken under supervision OF
the French government and given by
it as mark of gratitude to the serv-
ice. By request of the management,
they will be shown here under the
auspices af the Colonial Danes Of Ne
braska. They have met with great
success on their tour, and will with
out doubt give most exciting and
faithful realization of scenes and con-
ditions in the war zone, and of the
part that our brave young Americans
are taking in aid of the allies for
whom they have such warm sympa-
thy.
George Roeder, a young Harvard
man, who was lately driver of "Ameri-
can Sanitary Section No. O." Seventy
third division, and whose name fig
ures frequently in the war letters, is
accompanying and explaining the
films, which will add much to the in
terest of the occasion. Mr.. Roeder re-
ceived honorable mention" from the
French government and has been con-
spicuously faithful in the service from
the very first days of mobilization.

NEW GARAGE COSTS
HUNDRED THOUSAND
@. H. Strauser Has Contract
for Structure to Be Located
at Sixteenth and Leav-
enworth.

o. H. Strauser has the general con-
tract to construct the 100000 garage
for ]. F., Fitzgerald at, the southeast
corner OF Sixteenth and Leavenworth
streets. The building is to be but one
story high above the level of Six
teenth street, but there is to be full
basement and sub-basement. The
lay of the ground is we'll suited to
such a construction, Little excava-
tion was necessary since the garage is
being built on the brink Of the EN-
bankment on the east side Of Six
teenth street viaduct at the north end.
This handsome new garage will add
much to the appearance of this corner
in the business section Of the city.
Ever since Omaha has become a real
city, this corner has been one OF the
eyesores. 1t has been occupied by
old shacks or by delapidated sign
boards.
Large quantities of sand, brick.
crushed rock and other building ma
terial have been accumulating there
for some weeks preparatory to push
ing the work when once begun. The
cement footings are now being poured.

SHOULD NOT HINDER
BUILDING TRADES
R. E. Sunderland Says There
Should Be No Letup in 0rdi-
nary Trend Of Bust
ness.

"A persistent propaganda seems to
be well on foot to discourage normal
business operations and it may be OF
enemy origin for the purpose of'caus-
ing business paralysis, throwing many
out of employment and creating seri-
Gus civil unrest" said Ralph E. Sun
derland of the Sunderland Bros. COM
pany.
"One of our most important basic
activities-the building industry-is
threatened by mistaken and perhaps
misquoted advice supposed to come
from Washington.
"The suggestion is made that 'un-
necessary building and road construc-
ton should cease in order that men
and transportation facilities may be
released for the handling OF govern
. ment necessities.
Must Protect Business.
Everyone recognizes that in war
time the transportation of all COM
modities necessary for successful con-
duct of the war must take precedence
over all else, but the fact remains that
regular commerce and business
should not be unnecessarily interfered
with-and, if at all, with some degree
of intelligent distribution of the bur-
den among all lines of business.
"The business of producing and
marketing building materials such as
cement, brick, lime, sand, stone, lum-
Der, etc, is basic and sustaining. If
this prosperity is imperiled hundreds
of thousands of workmen directly EN-
ployed and those engaged in affected
building trades must suffer.
Should Push Road Building.
Now more than ever before road
building should be pushed to the limit
and there is no reason for abandoning
the construction of school houses,
churches, business buildings and resi-
dences.
1T is an economic mistake to sound
undue alarms in the realm OF con-
structive and necessary business oper-
ations which even in normal times are
all too sensitive to the i'll effects of
disturbing rumors and suggestions.
There is money enough and there
are men enough to do our successful
part in this war and there is no need
for curtailment of the ordinary and
necessary processes Of the building
business.
1T is exceedingly important to per-
NIT and encourage every man in
America to maintain at least his nor
NAL earning capacity"
