WANT BOYS TO QUIT
BOOKS FOR PLOWS
Plan Inaugurated to Utilize Vaca-

The practicability Of employing
high school boys OF Washington 10
work on truck farms in the vicinity
of the District during their summer
vacations. in order to help nearby
truckers produce sufficient vegetables
for the coming winter will be taken
up at a meeting to be held in the audi

The purpose of the meeting. TO
which a number of nearby garden
truckers have been invited and which
will be addressed by the District Com
missioners and a number of promt-
nent mark ketmen and business men Cf
Washington, will be TO encourage
men owning large tracts of land with
in a radius of ten or twenty miles
from the city to increase their Vege-
table acreage this summer.
Among the propositions being consid-
cred which will be placed before the
truckers will be the feasibility OF fixing
a minimum price for corn, potatoes. and
other staples.
In an effor ito guarantee the truckers
enough labor to work the land the
proposition OF using high school boys

SCRUPLES URGED AS
PACFSTS LOOPHOLE
Federation Wants All Who Object
to Service Exempted.

NEW YORK, May New York city
and the rest of America probably will;
develop a lot of hitherto unsuspected
scruples If the members OF the Emerg-
ency Peace Federation, we'll known
pacifist propagandists. succeed in
their latest endeayor. This has as its
object an amendment to the conscrip-
tion bill exempting not only those
who have scruples as conscientious
objectors but also those who have
scruples against serving in any mill
tary organization.
The federation has sent messages to
all its branches urging them to arouse
the citizens and get them to write or
telegraph members OF Congress to eX-
empt persons with scruples from mill
tary service and let them become food
producers or something under the
civil authorities. The statement OF
the federation declares that few peo-
pie, except those belonging to the fed
GRAFTON of course, realize how many
young men there are who will refuse
to be conscripted. These young men.
the federation says, are in the fac
tories, in the slums. in the churches.
and on the farms. It adds:
when such n large percentage OF
the men of the country are needed in
nonmilitary service 1t seems very un-
wise to endeavor to force men to
fight who after all will only waste
their energies in our jails; in extreme
cases be set up against a wall and
shot, and who IL forcibly held in the
ranks Will inevitably injure the
morale OF the troops by their attitude
of nonresistance."
