WILL TAKE
OVER THE LABOR
OF the Country For the Purpose
of Concentrating the En-
ergy for the
WINNING OF THE WAR

Mex York, Aug. 1.-The federal
government will today take over in
every State in the union the recruit
! ing of common labor for the further.
ance of the war. Labor requiments
for war industries have been appor-
| toned to the various States on ba-
sis of poulation, and as men are
needed they will move forward tu
meet the demand, wherever this may
be. The aim is to eliminated he
wasteful turnover of labor; stabilize
wages; increase the production of
essentials; and give efficient support
to the men in the trenches who nedes
from six to ten men to work for him
in this country every day he is in
France.
Announcement of this plan was
made at luncheon given in New
York yesterday to Secretary of Labor
Wilson by Grosvenor B. Clarkson,
Secretary Of the Council of National
Defense, to gathering of newspaper
publishers. Independent recruiting
of conmon labor by plants employ
ing over 100 men will be diverted,
effective August /, to the United
States employment service, and there
will be restrictions upon private ad-
yertising for labor At the same
time the project will be conducted
with the least possible injury to la
Dor as whole.
Under them ethods adapted the
country has been dividd into thirteen
federal districts, each district in
charge of superintendent of the
federal employment service. The
States within each district are in
turn in charge of State director,
who has full control of the service
within his state.
In each community there has been
formed local community labor
board which hasjurisdiction over re-
and distributing labor in It's
locality. These boards will, ifn &C.
essary, ask employers of non-war
workers to give up labor to meet the
needed requirements for war purpos-
es.
While the restrictions against the
private employment of labor apply
only to common labor at the present
time, these restrictions will, as soon
as possible, be extended to include
skilled labor In the meantime, re-
cruiting of skilled labor for war pro-
duction will be subject to federal
regulations now being prepared.
Farm labor will be protected for

cial efforts TO keep the farmer sup
piled with labor. This federal labor
program does not at present apply to
the following five cases:
Labor which is not directly or in
directly solicited.
Labor for railroads.
Farm labor, to be recruited in ac-
cordance with existing arrangements
with the Department of Agriculture.
Labor for non-war work.

must confess that most of us be-
lieved in this at the time, that we
would soon be in Paris. Other bodies
of troops arrived from all sides. We
had marched several hours when news
came to us that Vitry had been re-
taken by the French and that they had
seized tremendous amount of mill
tary stores. captured the hospitals, to-
gether with their medical units and pa
tents, and that the sanitary compa-
mics also had been made prisoners. At
about two o'clock in the afternoon we
arrived at the heights which had been
pointed out to us early in the march
by our captain
We now began to understand that
something had gone wrong. Streets
were filed with troops from all
branches of service, trying to use the
road along which we We're marching.
Being outnumbered, we. were crowded
backward. Empty munition columns
raced by us in no order whatever.
They were followed by canteen and
other supply wagons. The greatest
confusion reigned everywhere. Every
minute added to the congestion until
finally there was a dead halt. The
drivers of some wagons left the road
and tried to pass around the congested
portions by traversing the fields, which
bad been soaked by heavy rains. Sew

contained deep shell holes. which were
filed with water. In the heavy dark
ness men fell into these water holes
Thoroughly drenched, we continued
our march. No attention was paid to
obstacles in the way over which we
were constantly stumbling. Speed was
the only aim. Dead men and horses
lay in the middle Of the road, but no
one took pains to remove them.
At dawn we arrived at a little viii
lage, where we halted. We took pos
session and established as strong q
temporary defense as possible in the
time permitted. Our position was es-
tablished behind a cemetery wall. New
troops continued to arrive, but all were
badly disorganized. Cavalry, mounted
artillery and machine-gun detachments
followed. These had some sort of
formation and while there was some
disorder the panic, which character
lied the other units, was missing here.
They also showed evidences of having
suffered losses, but nothing In COM

From the results of many feeding
trials with hogs ten pounds of gain for
each bushe1 of corn fed, or one pound
of gain for every Sc pounds of corn,
is all that should be expected from
feeding corn alone in dry lot. A
mixture of one part tankage and nine
parts corn gives much better results,
usually producing one pound of gain
for every As pounds of the mixture
fed
The quantity of grain needed to pro-
duce a pound of gain is considerably
lessened If the hogs have access to
green forage. Corn fed to growing
shotes on rape should produce one
pound of gain for every 1857 pounds
OF grain fed. The addition of some
highly concentrated feed, such as tank
age. meat meal. shorts or Iinseed meal
should reduce by one-half to three
fourths of a pound the quantity of
grain necessary 70 produce pound Of

eral wagons turned over and others
became Embedded in the mud. The
horses were unhitched from these and
the wagons left behind. The wagoners
mounted these horses and drove on,
forgetting everything in one wild
panic-stricken race for safety.
An officer rode up and handed an or
der to our captain. We were halted
at a field close to the road. There we
were permitted to stack our guns and
rest. AS we lay at this point we
watched the passing columns, field
kitchens, munition trains, sanitary col
umns and field postal wagons racing
by in one grand carnival of confusion.
Every wagon carried wounded men.
Their faces indicated clearly what tor
lures they were enduring as they were
bumped along over the unspeakable
roads upon heavy trucks. Still they
were anxious to go ahead at whatever
cost. They feared the fate which
would befall them should they fall into
the hands of their mercilesS enemy,
which would show them the same con-
sideration which they themselves had
offered in previous encounters, in
which they took no French wounded
men prisoners.
Evening came on and with it tor
rental rain. We lay in the fields,
weary and chilled through, yet no one
of our unit moved, for we were ut
terly overcome by exhaustion. Artil-
lery detachments now began to arrive,
but few of them had their required
number of six guns. Many had only
three, others two, and few proceeded
with only one fieldpiece. At one time
a whole row of about fifty gun car
riages passed without any guns mount
ed upon them whatever. These bat
teries had managed to save their
horses, but were compelled to abandon
their guns to the French. Some car
riages were drawn by only two to four
horses instead of the required six.
There now passed before us some
fifteen magnificent automobiles, the ap-
pearance of which won the admiration
of everybody.

diers, "the general staff-Duke AL

HOME STORAGE is BEST

The storing of late vegetables
is an economy for those who
grow them in sufficient quantity
for the needs of the family.
To care for the surplus vege-
tables nothing more, in many
cases, is required than the use of
facilities existing in or near the
home.
Often the late vegetables from
a small garden can be stored
with no expense.
When considerable quantities
of vegetables are grown it is
frequently advisable to construct
permanent storage facilities in
the form of a storage room in
the basement of the dwelling or
under an outbuilding or to build
an outdoor cellar of wood or ma
sonry.
If permanent facilities are not
available late vegetables can be
kept in outdoor pits or banks,
requiring no cash outlay except
for labor.

rental rain had no tendency to tighten
our spirits. 'HThey have directed the
slaughter of thousands and now they

lay here in a morass in the rain. 1--WE
are not considered"
What we were to be assigned to do
had not yet been told us. We were left
lying in our swamp until ten O'Clock
that night. The troops continued to
flow back in great disorganized con-
tingents. Machine gun companies
passed with empty wagons. having lost
their guns The laundering of the
cannon gradually came nearer from the
west. The noise along the highways
became greater and a panic spread.
adding to the horrors of the night. Flu
gitives wandered around in the dark
ness through the streaming rain, trying
to lead their wives and children to
safety, only to find death under the
wheels of the wagons. The wounded
were also mangied by scores; piteous
cries for help were heard everywhere
Under the strain of the traffic the
roads became badly broken up and all
along their sides abandoned vehicles of
every description lay.
We started forward at about three
O'Clock in the morning and soon we
were with the rear guard Infantry
regiments, now merely fragments of
their former strength, arrived in a

mel burst over our heads, which re-

cape. In cold weather both the hinged
door and the damper in the air pipe
must be closed. The windows in the
storage room should be darkened in
order to protect the vegetables from
too much light.
Barrels, crates, boxes or bins may
be used as containers for the various
vegetables, but movable containers are
preferable to built-in bins, as it is pos
sible to remove them for cleaning.
Using Outside Cellars.
Outdoor storage cellars or caves are
particularly good for the storage of
many vegetables. They are especially
desirable on the farm, as they afford
convenient and inexpensive storage IA
cilities for surplus vegetables that 9TH
erwise might be lost. They possess all
the advantages of the basement stor-
age room and are superior in many re-
spects. 1t is possible to keep the cell
lar cool and to reduce temperature
quickly by opening the door during the
night, and closing it in the morning
before the air becomes warm.
AS the root cellar must be proof
against frost and moisture, it's types
and construction vary with the geo.
graphical location. In the southern
portion of this country the structure
usually is entirely above ground and
protected by only few inches of sod
and straw or leaves. In northern sec
tons outdoor cellars are made almost
entirely below ground and are covered
with a foot or two of earth.
Full directions for the construction
of storage rooms and cellars and for
the storage of vegetables are contained
In Farmers Bulletin S79, 'sHome Stor-
age of Vegetables" which will be sent
free on request to the U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture.

FACILITIES FOR
PROPER STORAGE
Many Cellars Are Suitable, but
Care Must Be Given to
Light and Heat.
AVOID FROST and MOISTURE
Attention Must Be Given in Fall to
Storing Surplus Vegetables So That
Grocery Bills May Be Ma
terially Reduced.

In the Call the wise home gardener,
whether in city or country, plans and
works for his garden next year, and
stores the surplus products of his sum-
mer work. He plOwS hard or stiff clay
soils, as the action of the frost during
the winter will break the soil into fine
particles and render it suitable for
planting. He clears away the weeds
and rubbish and gets ready for ar
early start in the spring. Plowed
ground dries out more quickly than
unplowed and by blowing in the fall
1t is possible to get such crops as peas,
beets and early potatoes planted much
earlier than otherwise would be the
case.
If the gardener has planned his crop
so that fall finds him with a large sur
plus of storable vegetables, much of
his attention will be given to placing
them away, safe from moisture and
heat, so that Through the winter they
will help to reduce grocery bills and
vary the diet without regard to market
conditions or winter temperature.
Home storage of vegetables, import
ant at times, is especially valuable
if canning or drying containers are
high in price. Furthermore, crops of
suitable sorts that mature at a season
when they can be preserved by storing
should be kept in their natural con-
dition Instead of being canned or dried.
Beets. late cabbage, carrots, celery,
onions, parsnips. potatoes, sweet pota-
toes satisfy and turnips may be stored
in their natural condition. Beans of
various kinds, including the limas, may
be stored dry. Successful storage is
not at all difficult In fact, good facili-
ties already exist in many hsmes, it
being necessary only to make use OF
the cellar, the attic, a large closet, or
other parts of the dwelling, depending
upon the character of the product to
be stored.
Storing in House Cellars.
A cool, differentiated cellar offers
good conditions for vegetable storage,
but many cellars are not well suited
because of poor insulation or lack of
ventilation. Cellars containing fur
naces are usually too warm or too dry
for storage of root crops. Often it Is
possible, however, to partition OF a
room, either in one corner or at one
end of the cellar, where the tempera-
ture may be controlled by means of
outside windows. At least one win
dow is necessary, and two or more are
desirable for light and ventilation
Natural earth makes better floor
than concrete or brick, as certain
amount of moisture is desirable. Walls
of the storage room should be parallel
to the walls of the cellar. Ventilation
may be secured by opening windows,
but an air duct, made of wood, metal
or terra Gotta, and permitting cool air
to enter near the floor level, is desir-
able. A piece of board with a hole

window in place of one of the panes
