 While the exact totals had not been compiled Tuesday, 1t is almost certain that the subscriptions in the Putnam district are now in excess of s200,- 900, and the goal of $21S,000 is in sight. More hust1ing of the kind that has marked the past few days will give this district the very special hon. or of having met it's exceedingly heavy, all things considered, apportionment, and this testifies to the patriotism of the people of Putnam and the sur rounding towns.

AIR BATTLE BRIEF
American Flyers First Fire Killed
German Pilot, 5000 Feet Up.

Headquarters of the Lafayette Es-
cadrille on the French Front, Oct. 10.
Lieutenant Raoul Lufbery of Well
ingford, Conn, member of the Lafay-
cite escadrille, fought the latest fight
in which he brought down a German
machine (reported yesterday as his
thirteenth)- at an altitude of 5000
feet and directly over the trenches
When it was first seen by Lieuten-
ant Lufbery the German airplane was
several hundred yards above him, but
by making a wide detour and climb
ing at a sharp angle, the American
was able to make a near approach
to rthe German biplane. before being
discovered. The German pilot was
killed at the first burst of fire from
Lufbery's machine gun and the enemy
machine started falling. The plucky
German machine gunner returned the
fire despite the fact that his pilot had
been killed and that his own death
was imminent.
While on a low patrol protecting a
Photographic machine, Sergeant Wal
ter Towel of Boston was attacked
three times and his machine badly
shot UD.

DENY LABOR SHORTAGE
Farmers Not without Amy Promise of
ReHef-StilI Some Unemployed.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Alleged la
Dor shortage which has resulted in
discussion of labor transcription and
widespread demands for exemptions
from the draft was emphatically de-
MED today by j. W. Sullivan, head of
the consumers and labor division of
the food administration.
incidentally he disclosed in a letter
TO the California Fruit Exchange that
the departments of agriculture and
labor are engaged in a nation survey
of the farm labor situation. That the
farmers face a shortage of help with
out any promise of relief" as the ex-
change claims, was therefore declared
to be untrue. European war expert
ments to solve "maladjustments of
the labor supply are being studied.
Only Shortage in Special Lines.
''The munitions factories and other
industries have not yet absorbed the
unemployed" said Sullivan. Reports
to me warrant the conclusion that
there is in the United States no short
age of labor in the general sense.
What scarcity exists in places is in
specialized lines upon which the drafts
have been extraordinary"
The farming classes We're treated
generously in the first draft as re
CARDS exemption, stated Sullivan That
all farmers be exempted from forced
military service. as the exchange de-
manded, was regarded as "eXtraordi-
nary" by him. He pointed out that
California particularly had been com
paratively slightly affected owing to
the large number of Japanese and
other aliens there

HOOVER NAILS ONE
Story He Predicts SO Hogs Absolutely
Untrue, He Declares.

Louisville, KY, Oct. ia state
ment widely circulated that the fed
eral food administration intended to
fix the price of hogs at $40 per hun
bred as compared with former higher
prices. has brought a flood of hogs to
this market. forcing the price down
$1.05 to $16, within two days and
eliminated today in a denial by Her
bert Hoover that livestock price fixing
was contemplated.
Mr.. HoOver's denial, addressed to all
federal food administrators, asserts
the statement with reference to al
legged price fixing first appeared in
Chicago papers.
"They are a absolutely untrue" Mr..
Hoover declares And do not repre-
sent opinion or proposed action of
the food administration, which will
take no steps to jeopardize livestock
producers interests. All our power
will be used to keep prices at which
allied and governmental purchases are
made on a plane that gives an as
sured return of cost and profit to
producers of meat animals.
In our opinion, the best market
obtainable for hte present corn crop
of the country will be thru livestock.
We need increased production of beef
and pork, and the only way to secure
this increase will be by profit on pro
ductiOn.
