 AMERICAN FIGHTING MAN
(By United Press.)

Washington, Nov. S.-Uncle Sam is today planning for visit by Santa Claus to his fighting lads across the sea.
 The gifts which the United States will present to it's soldiers and sailors are being mobilized by the Red Cross in thirteen divisional warehouses. One third of the Christmas cheer" con- signment is already in.
 It will be jolly, old-fashioned Yule tide for Americas fighters-as jolly as grateful nation can make it and as old-fashioned as the modern Red Cross will allow.
 Each cantonment and army post in this country will have Christmas tree. Each soldier and sailor, whether in this country or abroad, will receive a Christmas package valued at $1.5O. It will contain chewing gum, tobacco, writing material, games, dried fruit, candies, puzzles, knives. mouth or gans, or other articles. No perishable or breakable articles will be included. Each package will me wrapped in a khaki-colored handkerchief and tied with red ribbon.
 Money for the purchase of these packages is being raised by the chap ters of the American Red Cross through contributions by individuals for this specific purpose. No part of the Red Cross War Fund will be used for Christmas gifts.

AMERICAN FOOD SENT
 TO KAISER'S COUNTRY

Washington, Nov S.-Enormous quantities of American food are on the way to the kaiser's country.
 The American government knows about it. Is, in fact, glad of it. Did, n fact, permit it to be sent and went to considerable trouble to arrange routing so it would be sure to get there.
 The shipment now en route, which sll De followed by others to the value Of at least $500,0OO, is 5000 sacks of perfectly good American flour. Other loOdstuffS and clothing will be sent on derman territory just as fast as the AMercan government can get it there. The food and clothing, however, is nO' gong to German subjects, but to Servlan prisoners of war in Austrian prison camps. Concerning the ship nents, the American Red Cross said today:

SMALL CHILDREN MAY
NOT Be EMPLOYED
Even Though Their Names Do Not
Appear On Payroll, as I'm Cases
Where They Aid Fathers
In Piecc-work.
AN IMPORTAN RULING.
Both Employing Corporation and Pa
rent Are Grilty--Onfy Exception Is
Where Parent Himself Is Owner of
Establishment.

1t is a violation of the child labor
law of this state for parents, or
others. to have children under four
teen years of age assist them In their
work in the manufacturing plants OF
the state, even though such children
are not on the payrolls OF the owners
OF such plants. but are merely assist
ing older people on piece work, there
by aiding their elders to add to their
income on the piece-work system
This opinion was rendered yester-
day by Attorney General John Gar
Ind Pollard in response TO a request
for a ruling from Commissioner of
Labor Doherty.
It seems that 1t is n practice in
some plants for the father to per-
nit his small children to assist him
on piece-work jobs, only the name
OF the father appearing on the en-
pfoyer's payroll. The only excep-
tions to the law are in cases where
a parent owns and operates 4 plant
himself. when he may have his own
children help him, and in fruit and
vegetable packing plants, in which
children under fourteen may be en-
ployed between July 1 and Novem-
Der I.
Under the ruling of the attorney
general in the cases covered by his
ruling both the parent and the en-
ployfng concern are violators of the
law.

DAYS ARE
SUCCESS IN WISCONSIN

Madison. Wis. Oct s.-JThe meat
less and wheatiess days have been
made a success and Wisconsin once
more has broken the lead In helping
Uncle Sam win the war
This was the conclusion reached by
Magnus. Swenson, state food admins
TRAITOR, today, after he had received
reports from nearly every county in
the state.
The second neatiess Tuesday was
observed by practically every hotel
and restaurant In the state and there
was the same observance OF the sec
ond wheatless Wednesday.
The patriotism of the state in be-
Ing the first to establish these days
has received the highest praise from
Washington. Copies OF Mr.. Swenson's
proclamation have been sent to Wash
ington in response to a hurried call
for them, and these xili be sent to
every state In the Union. Mr.. SVEN
son has been asked also to give the
other states the benefit of his expert
ence.
To the man who has given up prac-
tically all of his time to the purely
honorary position--so far as salary
goes--of state food administrator. the
response of Wisconsin to the national
appeal for food conservation is par
ticularly pleasing.

Harrisonburg, Va, Oct S.--The
Eighth senatorial district. composed OF
Rockingham county and the city OF
Harrisonburg, is on the eve of one OF
the most remarkable political cam
paiens in years. This district Will
elect two members of the next house
of delegates. The Deiuocrats have
nominated one candidate, the Repub-
leans one, and there are two inde-
pendents In the field.
DR. c. II. Rolston, Democrat, ana
Professor f. J. Wright, Republican,
ham, have each beeen renominated by
their respective parties The reason
for each party making only one noni-
nation was a tacit understanding that
Dr. Robson and Professor Wright
would be supported in the election
by voters OF both parties, thus avoid
ing a partisan contest.
Meanwhile, C. d. Harnsberger. a
Republican by utilization but several
times an independent candidate. en-
tered the race, and on Saturday. the
last day on which a. candidate could
enter and get his name on the official
ballot, Professor G. Fl. Hulvey. a
