FRENCH SCHEME TO INDUCE
LABORERS TO TAKE SHARES
in BUSINESS CORPORATIONS

PARIS, April 6.-Another step to-
ward making the laborer a business
partner, participating in both the prof
its and management of enterprises in
which he is employed, is being taken
inFrance. The senate has adopted the
principle of bill amending corpora
ton laws so as to permit the allot-
ment of shares to workmen collectively
in any establishment to be held for all
employees of one years standing or
II ore, for the distribution of the divi-
bends among them.
In case OF dissolution the capital
stock will be shared between all the
shareholders, those holding labor
shares as we'll as capital shares. Wage
earners under this measure also may
participate in the management of the
corporation.
The law provides exemptions in IA
vor of corporations formed under this
law, which it is hoped may help selve
the problem of conflicts between capt.
tai and labor and reduce the number
of strikes which increased in France
from 261 in 1892 to 1913 in 1918.
This law, it is held, will make min
ing shares less risky. Capital now
hesitates at investment in these stocks
because of the frequency of strikes.
The bringing of capital and labor into
closer cooperation in this way has
been one of Premier Brands favorite
projects.
The law under discussion, of course,
cannot make it obligatory upon all
corporations to accept the participa>
ton of their employees; it only en-
courages it by offering advantages that
other corporations do not enjoy.

HOME PREPAREDNESS
NUMBER ONE-WOMEE
AND THE FORAGE LINE
BY CARL vROOMAN,

| BY CARL vROOMAN,
Assistant Secretary Of Agriculture,
Member OF the National Emergency
Food Garden Commission.
WASHINGTON, April 6.--National
preparedness for war has ceased to be
the theme for argument. Congress and
other agencies are now occupied with
questions of ways and means. How
ever, today we face the question OF in
diyidual preparedness. about which
little has yet been said, but which 10
as vital question as the other.
War is not only matter OF gum
powder and lead; it is just as much b
matter of food and forage. Compar-
atively few are In position to serve
their country in actual firing line but
there is holman, woman or half-grown
child, who can not serve on the forage
line, if only by tending bed OF green
vegetables. Such service may not be
exciting; may not seem glorious yet
in the long run it may me as useful as
the service of the men who dies for
his country on the field of battle 1t
is not uncomfortable that the time may
come when such humble service, 10y
ally performed by thousands OF patri-
OTIS thousand miles away from any
battle line, may turn the balance upon
which hangs our very existence as free
people. ? NGa ST.
We produce more than enough food
for ourselves, but in war there win be
danger that people may starve because
our food reserves are in remote ele-
vators and storage plants and our
railroads are too busy handling troops
and munitions to carry food to the civ
iIian population. Thus the Government
would be embarrassed by the problem
of meeting local shortages OF food at a
time when all its energies should be
focused npon national defence. Incl
dentally, from time to time prices OF
some necessaries of life may become
prohibitive, even though food is avail
able. Hence it is as important that
the individual meet the problem OF
home food supply as that Congress

CHINESE CAPITALISTS TO HAVE

Individual preparedness in cities
should take form this spring by the
planting of hundreds Of thousands OF
door-ward gardens, where before there
was only sod or bare earth. In the
country it should take the form OF
more intensive cultivation; even of q
measure of training on the part OF wo-
men and girls that they may be pre-
pared to ride the sulky pillow or the
binder if the worst comes. Everywhere
it should take the form of scruplous
care in the production, use and conser-
nation OF foods.

CURB MARKET IS
 FOR THE FARMERS
COMMITTEE OF THE CITY FepE. RATION IS ACCOMPLISHING MUCH, BUT DESIRES MORE
 CUSTOMERS.

Tine curb market, which is conduct ed from 730 to II q. m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. at the Arcade building, by the Curb Market Com mittee of the Federation of Clubs. k accomplishing a great deal. It has been well patronized. but with q greater patronage on the part of Lit. tie Rock customers. it can be made one of the great institutions of the city. Mrs. w. T. Roberts is chairman of the committee in active charge of the market. Mrs. 4. L. Alexander of Scott's has been most actively inter. ested in bringing the farmers with their produce to the market
 When the curb market first open. ed, we had plenty of patrons, but the farmers did not bring in their produce in as large numbers as we had hoped, said Mrs Roberts Now the farmers are bringing in large quantities of at. tractive produce and offering it at req sonable prices, but the number of housewives who have appeared has been small. The City Federation is anxious to bring the housewives an1 the farmers together.
 Now that Little Rock has secured a division camp, we believe that pro duction by the farmers will be greatly stimulated The establishment of the division camp here practically insures the farmers of a market for all the food stuffs they can produce The quartermaster's department at Fort Roots has promised to patronize the curb market. Through a misunder. standing, the officers did not appear at the market Tuesday morning, but we expect them Friday morning
 "The curb market is offering bar gains that no housewife can afford to miss Friday morning, we shall of fer special curb market butter for 40 cents pound We buy it in bulk which enables us to sell it at this low price and we shall have to request that customers bring dishes to carry away the butter, because we would suffef loss if we had to furnish packages.
 At the last curb market. here are some of the bargains that were of fered Strictly fresh eggs at 30 cents dozen, string beans and peas at 75 cents, potatoes at $1.50 a bushe1, a dozen punches of beets at 90 cents. and cabbages at three pounds for 10 cents"
