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 result of a 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 d.
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, q 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 a 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.

back. The coat is more accurately
described as a jacket. with high muir
fer collar and fronts much longer than
the sides or the back. The fabric Is
just the right background for very
handsome cut steel buttons, used with
just the right reserve, in two sizes. on
the front of the coat. There are four
of the smaller buttons at the back.
Coat and skirt are welded by the
most clever of wide girdles, which
loses itself in the novel back drapery.
The heightened skirt may not be &C
copied for practical cloth street suits,
but it is most appropriate for this af-
fair, with it's air of limousineS, con-
servatories, and grand opera.

in any way in accord with the DEM
ocratic strength of the state. 1t is
based solely on federal patronage
under the Wilson administration.
Few of the real Democrats who
held elective office from Democratic
sections are in any kind of harmony
with the Palmer MISUNDERSTANDING
leadership. 1t seems strange that any
political leadership should so persist
emily ignore and drive away such inn
portant party elements, but such is
the fact.
The holding of federal office is
the chief qualification for participa-
ton in the councils of the Palmer
Guffey- Mccormick coterie. The men,
bers are all appointed and few are
ever elected to anything. Hence the
Democratic party in Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania has been demoral-
lied. The slate arbitrarily set up by
the Guffey Palmer Mccormick out
fit was repudiated at the primary
election by the real Democratic Vot-
ers of the state.
This is the actual Democratic
situation which has resulted practic-
ally in the disbandonment for the
time being of a great party.
Refers to the President
President Wilson has ostentatious-
ly announced upon solemn occasion
in a speech to the Senate and House
that politics should be adjourned and
Mr.. McAdoo has recently called upon
the employees of the railways to get
out of politics. 1t would be befitting,
becoming and decent if Palmer
Mccormick and Guffey were called
off and ordered to attend strictly to
the supposed nonpartisan duties OF
their positions.
Palmer particularly holds a posi-.
ton of high financial and industrial
importance dealing with property
amounting to many millions, and he
could we'll abstain from partisanshiI
at this time and not permit his ac'
tivities to sink to the level of a village
postmaster holding office as the re-
suit of partisan service.

PENROSE RAPS
PALMER'S OFFICE
Says That He Has Given Fat
Jobs to Democrats in Han
ding Alien Property

Senator Boies Penrose took occa-
sion yesterday at Washington to not
only deny the charges made against
him by A. Mitchell Palmer, Demo-
cratic national committeeman, in his
speech here, but to show that Mr..
Palmer as alien property custodian
was taking care of Democrats.
The Senator denies the Palmer
charges saying:
L have had no connection or con-
cern with the frivolous revelations
A. Mitchell Palmer attempts to make
at Harrisburg, and only such knowl-
edge of it as is possessed by many
other citizens who have viewed with
amusement the downfall and humili-
alton OF Palmer and his fellowtield
marshals in Pennsylvania.
SO far as l am concerned, the
statements of Palmer are entirely
unfounded. Palmer has habit of
making reckless assertions and has
on several occasions made statements
which were without foundation, but
which were absurd, concerning polit-
ical matters in Pennsylvania.
An utter disregard of any pre-
tense for the truth and apparently
an obtuse failure to read how ridicu-
lous his statements are has fire.
quently characterized his utterances
In this instance, as on previous
occasions, his statements have failed
to impress any one and he has been
repudiated by his own party and by
the people.
His vituperative and fanciful in
dictments in the last senatorial cam
paign are only remembered now or
account of the humiliating defeat
which followed them, accompanied
by the loss of a very large part of hi:
