Women Should Share
War Duty.


there should be organized COM
pany of women in tho interest OF
food conservation declared
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary
of the Department of Agriculture
Wednesday night at the French
Opera House, to an audience
composed chiefly of members OF
the General Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs.
Mr., Vrooman explained the
need of the nation to safeguard
its food supply and pointed out
the duty Of the ciubwomen of
America, through their national
organization to take leadership in
movement for the prevention OF
waste, so that Americas allies,
the American army and navy,
and the peoples of Europe and
America may have food while
war is waged.
The speaker depicted the i'm
mediate future in America as
destined TO follow the recent his
tory of England in transforming
her peoples into a fighting ma
chine in defense of liberty. He
described the whipping of the
army into shape for combat, then
the great problem of munition
supplies and the labor producing
them and last of all the provis-
ioning Of the workers and the
fighters through food production
and conservation.
"America's first great problem
is food SUPPLY he said. "More
than all else she viii! need to
furnish food so that the allies may
fight. And the production and
safeguarding of food is the most
important and serious question in
the United States today.
Germany has 25,000,000 of
starving people. If the subma-
rine warfare had been successful
England would have been brought
to her knees in two months. AS
it is, every section of the United
States must be self-supporting
and in addition there must be
food enough to send to our allies.
In this great work the women ot
America, through such organi-
cations as the general federation,
must do their individual and col
lectiye shares"
Charles H. Brough, former
governor Of Arkansas, in which
state the next federation is to
meet, in 1918, referring to the
war situation declared.
"The women of this orguniza.
ton can personally see to it thai
the message of Mr.. Vrooman is
carried to the rural districts Of
their various states. They can
do wonderful work in this way
in assisting the nation and the
forces of the nation.''
He declared that as yet the
Z people OF the country could hardly
realize what war will mean. EN-.
phasizing this point be said thai
the present plan Of taxation uu-
der consideration by Congress
would mean every family in the
nation will be called on to pay
increased taxes amounting to ste
per annum, or, under the board
system OF averages, the sum Of
$34 for every man, woman and
child in the United States.
The meeting was presided oyel
by Mrs. Josiah Evens Cowles
president OF the federation. Dur
ing the earlier part of the even.
ing the secretaries of many state
organizations told of their work
in organizing clubs and Serving
the local and general organiza-
ton.

Sheep Shipped by Barge
To Mountain Ranges

Washington.-By the use of a
three-decker barge capable of carry
ing 2,700 sheep at time, hitherto
unused range for approximately 49,
600 sheep at the head of Lake Che
Ian, on the Chelan National Forest
Washington, has been made avail
able for use. This, according to
grazing experts of the Forest Serv-
ice. is an example of the way in
which new range on the national
forests is being opened up in an eff
fort to increase the country's meat
supply.
Lake Chelan, which, officers of the
Forest Service say, is one of the
most beautiful bodies of water in
the West, is fifty-two miles long.
While the head of the lake is acces-
sible only by boat and narrow noun
tain trails, the lower end is con-
venient to a railroad and also to the
bunchgrass. ranges of eastern Wash
ington upon which the sheep men of
that region have for many years
wintered large numbers of sheep.
They lacked summer range, how
ever. The summer range at the
head of Lake Chelan, 1t is explained,
is particularly good, but is cut off
from the nearest ranches by n long
stretch of exceedingly rough country
over which sheep can not be driven
without severe losses.
Officers of the Forest Service sug-
gested the construction of barge t.

counted in Child Labor in Warning

reports just issued by the National
Children's Bureau.
The. prospect for better industrial
education for England has lately been
strengthened by the bill introduced in
the British Parliament by Herbert
Fisher, president of the Board of Edu-
cation. The bill fixes compulsory
school attendance age at IA without
the present exemptions and requires
that all working children under is
spend at least $50 hours a year in
continuation schools.
In Italy, as well as in France and
England, standards of labor protec-
ton were relaxed at the beginning of
the war only to be restored and
strengthened as experience showed
that long hours, night and Sunday

and efficiency. did not pay.

Wider Use OF Motor
Trucks Now Practical

Extensive motorization of the de-
livery and haulage departments of
many business concerns. made more
necessary by the increasing scarcity
of horses, is now considered prac-
teal because of the wonderful de-
velopment OF the four-wheel drive
type of truck during the last few
years." says George Mcfarland, of
of Harrisburg Automobile Company.
Heavy loads, such as logs, &C.
ment, brick, COAL oil and minerals,
which heretofore it has been prac-
tically impossible to haul overland
on the almost impossible highways
In many sections of our country, are
now being transported long distances
by four-wheel drive trucks more
economically than by railroad trains.
The government has awakened to
the wonderful possibilities offered by
four-wheel drive trucks and thous-
ands of these motor vehicles Will
play important roles during the war.
George w. Dunham, president of
the Society of Automobile Engineers
and civilian member of the commit
tee having charge of motorizing the
field Artillery of the Army, says u

The feast is associated with a
charming legend: It is said that
when the Jewish heroes had re-
claimed the sanctuary from the un-
holy touch of the heather. n single
cruise of oil was found, insufficient
to supply. the large lamps of the
Temple. Yet is sufficed to fill all
the lamps of the Temple during
the eight days of the celebration of
the festival. Gods light never fails
those who look to Him for spiritual

Shell-Torn Cadillacs
Still Doing Service

Writing from France on the 10Th
of October to Hyslop Brothers, Tor
onto, Charles j. Feaver, Thirteenth
Canadian Field Ambulance, says that
the Cadillac Eight ambulances aiken
to France early in the war are still
in the field and rendering excellent
service.
"Om Cadillacs are still going fine,
he sa. "in spite of the fact that
some of them have had some rough
times recently. Every one of them
has been riddled with shrapnel, and
one was put out of commission al
together by a high explosive she'll"
Hyslop Brothers, as Cadillac dis
tributors in Toronto, supplied the
Canadian government with a large
number of cars, Which were shipped
to the battle front with the early
Canadian contingents. They were
especially fitted with bodies and
equipment for ambulance service,
and have been in continuous use,
under battlefield conditions, for
close to three years.
Feaver thanks Hyslop Brothers
for letter and a parcel. "It is
the main thing one has to look
forward to out here" he says, "a
letter or a parcel from those al
home.
"It will soon be three years since
I left and, believe me, Toronto
seems a long way off just now.
However, we are proud of the work
we are doing and confident that il

large number of four-wheel drive
trucks will be provided for the
handling of American ammunition.
I'm an address at Buffalo recently,
Mr.. Dunham said: The four-wheel
drive vehicles are comparatively
modern developments, suitable for
operation over rough grounds and
under conditions where the ordinary
vehicle of road type would find 1T
difficult to secure the necessary foot
hold
I'VE are finding that numerous in
dustries are now enabled to motor
ize for the first time with our four
wheel drive truck. This is especially
true in lumber and mining sections
without railroads, and where horse,
mule andA OK teams have been the
only practical means of transport
ing the various products to the
market centers. The four-wheel
drive truck is performing a great
service in various lines of industry,
more important perhaps than that
rendered by ordinary light delivery
trucks for retail merchants"

the railroads have shipped by freight
more cars to his company than to

would make it possible to transport
the sheep to the head of the lake.
The suggestion was carried out with
the aid of the railroad, and $4,000
sheep were put on this practically
new range the first season. Not only
was the national forest land utilized,
but the route up the lake offers a
satisfactory way to a large adjoin-
ing area in British Columbia, which,
though inaccessible from the Cana
dian side, may now be reached from
this side.
The plan was so successful that
