Engineers Wanted.

The English Reserve Engineer
Regiment, now organizing on the
Pacific Coast, will mobolize at Am
erican Lake, near Tacoma, Wash,
about June 1, it was announced here
yesterday by Lieut.. Col. James P.
-avanaugh, its commander.
The Eighth Engineers will be one
of nine regiments of railroad ex-
perts and workers which will be
among the first American military
organizations to go to France. They
will aid in the operation and reha-
Dilitation of existing French roads
md the building of others.
Notification that American Lake
had been selected as the mobiliza-
ion camp came from Washington
Yesterday. Immediately afterward
Lieutent Colonel Cavnaugh anno-
lnced that he would call the men on
June list. If the regiment is not re-
cruited to its required strength by
then others will be enlistd later. Ii
is the only volunteer organization
now forming on this Coast.
The Eighth Regiment will consist
of two batallions of three companies
each. 1t will number more than
1000 men. One battalion is being
organized in the Northwest and an
other in San Francisco and Los An
geles. The Southern battalion lacks
about 800 men of being full now
Track and bridge foremen, bridge
carpenters and track laborers are
most needed now, it was said. A
few stenographers also are wanted.

Farmers Are Safe.

1t has been definitely decided that
there will be no CONSUMPTION for
farm laborerS. The council of nat
ional defense and the department of
agriculture and the department of
labor have thoroughly canvassed
the situation and decided that advo-
cacy of legislation which would per-
nit CONSUMPTION would seriously in
terfere with the operation of the
military law. In consequence any
plan that may be finally decided up
on by the federal government will
call for voluntary work.
The department of labor has been
advised by lador leaders throughout
The country that any effort to ex-
tend CONSUMPTION to industry will be
fought to the last ditch. In addition
it had pointed out that while the
officials of the various labor or
CARNATIONS have pledged themselves
0 assist the government in every
possible way and they have also de-
clared that in doing SO they intend
hat their services shall besin every
way volunteered. -
Appeals are being made from the
Southern states for farm labor of
every kind. The branches of the
departments Of labor and agricul-
ture throughout the country are
now being utilized in an effort to
get workers. 1t has been found that
many of the Southern negroes, who
went north during the last three
years to work in the munition
plants and the like, are virtually
stranded in the larger cities. These
men will be moved back if possible
and this will go a long way, Off
Gals say, in meeting the present sit
uation in the South.

The committee feels sure that the
results of the campaing will still be
felt in the weeks to come and that
the final count in the membership of
the society will exceed the $4,000
mark which they had set out to
make in the drive. They feel well
satisfied with the campaign as an
educational feature.
The membership headquarters
which had been maintained at Sec
ond Avenue and Marion Street were
closed last evening and hereafter

Better Buy 1t in the Home Town.
In the city, there looms forth tht
mammouth mail order house.
Cold in its relationship with EN-
ployees, ferreting into the highways

1t has thrived because its whole
working is based upon the princi.
pie of trading upon established stan
dards.

possible in return.

ial and most powerful home magaz.

houses.

merchants are Standard Advertised
Goods-the pick of those manufact-
ures produce.
{ Those that are little off-per-
haps few broken threads, slight
miscut, an off color, minor flaw
not quite up to the standard are
dumped.
Much Of the merchandise finds its
way into the mail order hands. And
the mail order house askes that we
compare it with the standard goods
Lack of technical information
things for which to watch out, pre-.
vents us from recognizing the diff.
ference between such merchandise
and the Standardized Advertised
kind.
This one advantage has placed the
mail order house in our eyes as a
benefactor-extracted good coin OF
the realm from us.
If there were some way to awake
folks to the real realization of con-
ditions-awake them throughout the
| width and breath of the land, the
mail order house wouldn't be able
to stand up for sixty days.
There would be no octopus to SAP

prosperity, the like of which they
never dreamed.
! Let us, as one community resign
our position as a feeder of the oct
opus. Let us develop-look to oul
own interests for change.
Money already sent from Coulet
City won't come back; we can't re
cover it; so there is no use to worry

ROLAND FIGURES YANKEES
HIS TOUGHEST ENEM,
B3 II. G. HAMILTON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. June 25-Clarence
Rowland. manager Of the White sox,
who already has been voted the
American league penHaut this year
By a majority OF the experts, declares
the New York Yankees appear to MIN
to be the most formidable team the
American league hoide-aside from
the White sox. lie believes that ii
his team gets away to a league chant
pionship this year it will be done
with the Yankees trailing them into

Strangely. Rowland does aot count
the Red sox formidable IN the least.
The early season ride they had at
the top of the American league, he
holds, was merely a flash. He shares
the opinion Of other managers in the
American league in declaring that
when double headers begin to tear
into the Red Soy the pitching staff Of
the Hub representatives viii begin
to falter.
The loss of Bill Carfisan is also
going to have an effect. Rowland
believes, and he declares a ehaase IN
ownership can't possibly have I'M
.nrovad tho team's chances. Carrig8n,
he maintains. while not the best
catcher in the world, was the enc
man who could get sterling results
out of Dutch L.eonard's work and do
il consistently. lie has plenty OF
praise for Jack Barry as a manageF'
hut inclines 10 the belief that a base
bah club at its best ALWAYS must have
associations with its manager for
several years as a manager before
things can ran exactly right.
