time these men go into the fields dur
ing the cool part of the day, when they
can render the greatest service. In
one evening alone 40 men were able to
shock more than 80 acres of wheat.
Women Cook for Hands.
In Indiana "a towns secured an en-
rollment of 1000 workers to assist in
the harvest of the wheat and oats crop.
Kansas City, as a result of campaign
during the week of June 3 to 8, en-
listed 10000 workers to assist Kansas
farmers. These workers not only Of
fered their services, but under the dl-
rection Of the athletic club and the
chamber Of commerce took a course of
training which fitted them and harden
ed them for the severe work they
would be called upon to do on the
farms. In addition to enrolling men,
women were enlisted from the towns
and cities to go to the country to as
sist the farmers wives in cooking and
caring for this large army Of harvest
hands. Forty thousand city people as
sisted Kansas farmers in handling the
wheat.
In the berry district south Of Port.
land, Ore, a large amount of help is
needed to harvest the crop. The farm
help specialist in Portland enlisted the
services of 1000 women and girls, who
were organized into units and taken
to the district, where they are now
working and aiding in harvesting the
crop in satisfactory way.
Emergency Labor Organization.
The farm labor administration of
the Illinois state council Of defense,
in cooperation with workers furnished
by the U. s. department Of agricul-
ture, has perfected an emergency farm
labor organization in practically every
county Of the state. Reports from 60
counties show more than $4,000 work.
ers registered to assist In the harvest.
In the sugar-beet districts of south
ern Michigan, Colorado and Utah many
thousands of workers have been Sc
cured to cultivate this crop and thus
insure large supply Of sugar.
In a similar way the other states
have organized and enlisted labor for
the farms and thus meet In a most
admirable way the emergency needs.

T0WNFoLK MUST HELP


Though townspeople have al
ready done much in aiding
farmers to harvest their crops
and to do other necessary work,
there is still much to be done
this fall If all the crops raised
by American farmers are to be
! saved to supply food and cloth
ing to soldiers and war workers.
Harvesting Of cotton, cane, rice,
late sweet potatoes, and other
crops in the South, and corn,
late Irish potatoes, fruit and
other crops in the North, is yet
to be done and will require the
cooperation Of men, women,
boys and girls from cities and
towns to help In the fields. and
orchards. Through the active
efforts Of many city and town
organizations In securing neces-
sary help for farmers, the labor
problem has been successfully
solved in many communities,
but there is even greater need
for emergency farm hands In the
future. With organizations well
started, with a better under
standing on the part of urban
people as to their responsible
ties, with public sentiment ia
voring the "work or fight" idea,
with the classification Of nom
essential industries, with anti
loaf1ng laws In many states fore
ing able-bodied idlers into pro-
ductive work, with women doing
much Of the work previously
done by men, with boys effec-
lively organized and volunteer
ing in large numbers to help
farmers, farm labor problems,
according to the q. S. depart
ment of agriculture, are being
solved in nearly every part of
the United States.

Anybody who has ever travelled
abroad and has gone into the wine
making countries will realize that
there Is no drunkenness there" This
statement was made by Julius Kahn,
representative in congress from CALI
fornia, at the hearing In the senate
committee on the prohibition amend
ment to the agricultural bill.
And United States Senator james d.

FIN wine-making countries there Is
conspicuous sobriety." Hear what
Vance Thompson, author and Journal
list and experienced traveller, Gays In
reply to the claim that there is no
drunkenness in southern Europe:
"He who makes that statement
speaks out Of deep ignorance. He
has never dwelt in the villages Of
Provence, or wandered over the wide
roads Of Italy. You do not, l admit,
see so wild and manifest a drunken
ness as In the harsh, northern, spirit
drinking lands; but the southern
drinker, making up in quantity what
was waEting In the alcoholic strength
Of his beverage, reaches the same
stage Of physical impairment, begets
the same poisoned offspring, dies in
the same kind of alcoholic dissolution
Ito use the technical phrase. His
moral corruption, az his physical de-
generation, is slower in its progress !;
but statistics must be piled hospital
high to show 1t reaches the same end.
1T was In my horoscope to watch
for 20 years the growth Of the alcohol
habit in France. / saw the nation
weary of the too feeble intoxicant of
wine and take to strong drink. During
those years the drinking of absInthe

ton Of 100000 gallops to over 5,000,-
600 gallons. The French race, with
dangerous deterioration, turned from
the slow poison Of wine to the fiercer
and more active Of alcohol poisons-to
the wilder alcohol of amers and alb.
