TURN The BOYS THOUGHTS
HOMEWARD, SAYS F0SDIck,
ASKING COOPERATION

Washington. - (Special.) 49, Just BE-
fore leaving for France to superin-
tend the rehabilitation activities Of
those organizations which recently
took part in the United War Work
Campaign, Raymond B. Fosdick,
Chairman Of the Commission on Train
ing Camp Activities, was interviewed
with regard to the present situation Of
our overseas forces.
1.-THE problem presented by the
gradual rehabilitation Of more than
two million men three thousand miles
from home is one which will tax all
our social resources" said MI. Eos
dick. 1T is above all a morale prob
lem, and it must be faced as such, with
the full cooperation Of families and
friends here in this country, IL it is to
be solved successfully. Every n who
has q son, a brother, must help.
"While the war was on u boys
were fully occupied; they were still
filled with the spirit of adventure,
looking forward rather than back.
Now, however, the fighting is at an
end. They are going to remain, most
of them, many months doing work
which will be neither exciting nor
particularly interesting. They will get
lonesome, bored and terribly home
sick.
''The $17O,OOO,OOO raised in the re
cent United War Work drive is to be
used precisely to bridge over this Pc
Rod by providing recreation and
amusement. But no amount of mere
money expended in such q way will be
enough. What these boys really want
is not diversion, but human interest
and sympathy. These things express
ed In letters from home will warm
their hearts and create q home at
mosphere around them, even while
they are absent from the family circle.
"Such letters may be a very neces-
sary sheet anchor to windward in the
case Of some boys. The thought of
some one waiting for them, counting
on them, will mor than anything
else, make them hold back and think
twice before plunging into situations
which might mean harm and unhap-
piness for them.
1--WE have raised the cleanest army
In the world. We have kept it clean.
We hope to bring 1t back al clean and
strong as 1t was when 1t left us. But
while we believe our soldiers will
stand the present test-the hardest Of
all in some ways-as bravely and
successfully IS they have stood every
other test Of their manhood and en-
durance, 1t is u duty to give them
all the help we can.
"This, as I have said, a best be
rendered by mean Of letters which
will begin now, at once, not only to
satisfy their home longings, but to
turn their thoughts from tasks already
accomplished in the long years Of life
ahead Of them"

HOME FOLKS MUST HELP.

Washington.-(Specia War
Department Commission on Training
Camp Activities has hit upon an i'm
portant and entirely new idea in the
"Letters-from-home" plan just an
nOunced.
Pull the boys through the most try
ing period Of their service by writing
the right kind Of letters, letters full Of
the home feeling, the mother feeling.
This appeal Is made to mothers, ia
theirs, sisters and sweethearts by the
War Department. It is hoped that mil
lions Of Inspiring letters will be writ
ten the week Of December u. Aesig-
mated - "Letters-from-home" week.

with a natural supply of water. Geese

try. Grass makes up the bulk of their
food, and for this reason pasturage Is
essential. A body of water, while not
absolutely essential. is valuable where
geese n raised, and some breeders
consider It important during the breed
ing season. Geese are good foragers,
and for this reason many farmers in
the South keep them to kill the weeds

H. T. Gerken, the first patron of
New Farmer Owned Live Stock Sell
ing Agency.
Just recently the Equity Cooper
alive Exchange, which is one of the
largest farmer owned cooperative in.
stitutions in the United States, opened
on the Chicago market a selling agen.t
cy for live stock to be operated on
the cooperative plan. This selling
agency will receive live stock from any
farmer who wants to ship, whether
he is a member or not, and will sell
the same to the highest bidder.
It will be operated Independently of
the. ring of spectators on this market
and will be conducted along the same
lines as the farmer owned selling
agency on the South st. Paul market,
which, in the past, has made such a
wonderful success.
H. T: Gerken, of Miranda, Faux
County, South Dakota, was the first
farmer to patronize this new selling
agency. Mr. Gerken is a progressive,
wide-awake farmer, has the confidence
Of his friends and neighbors at Miriam
da, and the mere fact that he was
the first farmer in the United States
to patronize the only Independent sell.
ing agency on the Chicago market
that is owned and controlled by farm.
ers, is proof enough that he is pro-
gressive and willing to stick by the
farmers in their efforts to handle,thei
products comparatively.
The following letter received by the
Equity Cooperative Exchange from
MI. Gerken would indicate that he was
we'll pleased with this first sale made
by this new selling agency and that
he is now, counted among the boost
ers for this new farmer owned selling
agency for live stock:

Gentlemen: Received returns from
the two cars of. cattle I shipped you
and am we'll pleased with the prices
and the services rendered me.

stock to ship and you can depend OF
me to further your cause It is up

AS he polished his customers boots

at the youths expense, the customer
asked him if he always smoked cigars.
"Oh, yes, pretty Often" declared the
