TUBERCULOSIS IS Durable.

important thing about tuberculosis.
therefore, is to recognize the disease
early and to begin the cure at once.
early symptoms of tuberculosis:
L. Loss of weight without any other
apparent cause suggests tuberculosis.
z. Tring easily after ordinary ex-
ertion suggests tuberculosis.
3. A cought that lasts more than
three weeks certainly suggests tuber-
~cuOs1s, and should call for an exami-
nation by a competent physician.
4. A subnOrmal temperature (by
the thermOmeter), in the morning and
a rise of temperature in the afternoon
means tuberculosis SO time in 100, and
often the other time, too.
.. A low blood pressure, taken with
the proper instrument, is Indicative of
tuberculosis.
3. A hemorrhage of the lungs
means tuberculosis without exception.
OF course tubercule bacilli found in
the sputum is a positive sign of tuber-
culos1s, but the diagnosis should have
been made long before the bacillus can
be found and treatment begun. When
tubercle bacilli can be found in the
sputum it has alreay reached a rather
advanced stage.

Club Boy Purchases Farm.

Willie Johnston, a member Of sew
eral of the boys agricultural clubs in
Coal county, Oklahoma, has made
enough money for his mother, since
his fathers death, to buy a farm. AT
the same time he has been helping
other boys of his neighborhoOd to grow
better crops. Maybe there is a les
son in Willie Johnston's experience
for other bOys-whether on the farm
or in town-who would like to enroll
in club work. Ask your county agent,
the state agricultural college, or the
United States department of agrfcul-
ture to tell you how you a enlist in
such service and make money.
In the fall of 1915, when his father
died, Willie was left to support his
mother and five younger sisters. The
family was farming rented land and
had no money with which to buy a
home. Willie was fourteen years old.
Early in 1915, W. T. Yoakum, the coun-
ty agent had enrolled him. in the Corn
club, and that year he won a prize
at the county fair

Romance Was Behind Famous
Duel Between Alexander
Hamilton and Aaron Burr.

Most historians state that the fam
Gus duel in which Aaron Burr,
Vice President of the United States,
killed Alexander Hamilton, Secretary
of the Treasury in George Washing
tons cabinet was inspired by political
jealousy. This is the historians point
of view. Now m the nov
e~lists, with the startling statement
that the entire career of both Hamil-
ton and Burr was influenced by their
rivalry for the heart Of a woman
known in Philadelphia society as "The
Beautiful Mrs. Reynolds" In the
March Motion Picture Magazine ap-
pears a novelette, by Edwin M. La
Roche based upon a photOdram pro-
duced by the World Film Company in
which. the startling career of Maria
Reynolds is set forth. It's author
vouches for its historical accuracy. At
the period when Alexander Hamilton
was Secretary of the Treasury and
when Thomas Jefferson, as Secretary
of State, held the most important po-
sitiOn in George WashingtOn's cabinet
in the nations capital, which was
then Philadelphia, "The Beautiful Mrs,
Reynolds" who was descended from a
patrician family, married Jacob Cling
man. who was soon afterwards arrest
ed and imprisoned by Alexander Ham
ilton for defrauding the government
Living in comparative poverty, Maria
! agreed with her husband to cancel her
marriage. Although she believed the
proceedings entirely regular, Cling
man arranged that she should marry
James Reynolds, a clerk in one of the
government departments. The mar
riage was bigamous and Clingman
thus obtained a sinister hold upon his
wife. Whether her motives we're good
or evil has not been been decided. but

der Hamilton for financial assistance
and he fell under the spell of her IN

the work of the departments farm
labor work in single states or two or
more adjoining states. These farm
help specialists will cooperate directly
with state agencies, central and local
employment agencies of the United
States department Of labor, and with
the county agents and community farm
help committees which will be charged
directly with meeting labor needs in
their special localities.
The farm help specialists through
preliminary labor surveys will en-
deavof to ascertain in advance the
prospective needs for extra labor in
each community. They will work with
state and local agencies to supply la
Dor deficiencies from local supplies If
possible, or from the nearest point
where labor can be secured outside the
community in need Of assistance. All
local sources OF labor first will be
drawn upon and only when the fullest
possible utilization of local labor
proves inadequate, will labor be
brought in from outside. In S
Of necessity, however, through the de-
partment of agriculture and the depart
ment of labor, arrangements will be
made for interstate movement of help,
in which the department Of labor will
cooperate in obtaining extra labor for
farm purposes from the populOus com-
munities.
1t is pointed out that the farmer in
need of labor should proceed as fol-
lows: He should report his need to
his county agent Or to a member Of the
community farm help committee. If
possible, his need will be supplied from
lists of men available in the county.
If local labor is inadequate, the
ty agent or committee will report to
the state farm labor specialist, who,
in cooperation with the state officials,
will draw on the nearest available Ia
Dor within the state.

SOLVE FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Subject Which Agricultural Depart
ment Has Given More Thought to
Than Any Other, According
to Secretary Houston.

The farm labor problem has pre-
scented and continues to present many
difficulties, Secretary Houston said the
other day. 1t is one of the two or three
subjects to which the department has
given more thought than to any 9TH
ers, he said. not only since this oun
try entered the war, but for many
months prior to that time. There has
been before the farmers the question
of retaining q sufficient number of
year-rOund skilled labOrers and also
of meeting the urgent needs at the
planting and harvesting periods. Farm
ers in the neighborhoOd of cities,
where there has been great redirectiOn
of labor and capital, and also where
the environments and other special en-
terprises have been under way, have
been greatly embarrassed, Secretary
Houston said.
Labor Survey First.
Constructive effort, according to the
secretary, is needed along several
lines, which may be briefly stated as
follows: A systematic survey Of the
farm labor situation to ascertain the
possible needs Of farmers and to deter
mine ways Of meeting them, the pro-
motion Of fuller cooperation in the
utilization Of labor among farmers in
the same community, the further de-
velopment OF machinery for assisting
in the transfer Of labor, making avail
able labor which heretofore has not
been fully or regularly utilized, the
releasing of. men for agricultural pur-
poses as far as possible by replacing
them with women, the largest possible
production and the fullest use OF farm
labor-saving machinery.
To cooperate effectively In the farm
labor problem with the United States
department of labor, state councils
of defense, state commissioners OF ag-
riculture and labor, and other official
state and local agencies concerned
with supplying needed farm labor, the
department Of agriculture has dt-
vided the country into four farm labor

'LABoR!SAVING MACHINERY
~To<CONSERVE MAN POWER.

One sGf the important meas
ures urged by the department of
agriculture to help meet the la
Dor needs this year is the largest
possible production and fullest
use of farm la%bor-saving ma
chfnery. The department has
actively interested itself in Sc
curing priority for raw mate
rails used in the manufacture of
farm implements and also in Sc
curing favorable consideration
at the hands of transportation
committees to provide facilities
for moving the materials to the
manufacturers, and the COM
pleted products from the manu-
facturers to the distributors and
also to the farmers. Both those
dealing with priorities of mate
/. rails and those dealing with pri-
critics of transportation have
evinced a complete willingness .
to assist. This is indicated by
the fact that the priOrities COM
mittee of the war industries
board gave raw materials need
ed for farm implements a posi-
ton of preference over all ar
ticles except those urgently re-
quired for military and naval
purposes, and that the trans

EXPERTS TO AID
"WOOD INSTEAD OF
COAL" MOVEMENT.

Ten experts of the forest serv-
ice, United States department
of agriculture, have been assign
ed to cooperate with the
fuel administration to relieve
: the fuel shortage in the eastern
states. They will give their at
tentiOn to ways of increasing
the use of firewoOd, in order to
lessen the demand for coal.
They will demonstrate to farm
ers and other woodland owners
methods of cutting by which
firewoed can be obtained with
the best results to the timber
growth. Plans for securing and
distributing frewood will be
worked out. 1t is hoped to eS-
tablish municipal wood yards at
various places and to decide
upon satisfactory methods for
utilizing waste from sawmillS
and other woodworking plants.
A special appeal will be made
through directors of extension
work in the various states to the
farmers to cut wood this winter
while other work is slack.

M0ToRIzE ENGINES OF WAR
How Expert Automobile Men Are Aid
ing Uncle Sam.

In the ordnance department of the
United States war department, the
need for motorization of artillery and
the handling of ammunition by means
of motor-driven vehicles are fully ap-l
preciated, and rapid strides are being
made toward what will doubtless be-
the most completely motorized art1l-!
lery equipment OF any of the allied
powers. This motorization involves
not only the use of numerous trucks
most of which will be Of the four-
wheel-drive type, but also the use OF
numerous tractors. In this work the
Society of Automotive Engineers is
represented by its president. Closely
associated with this are the design
and construction Of any apparatus
like so-called tanks. A past press
dent of the society is commissioned
to work upon the development of these
special engines Of war. Another s. A.
E. engineer has just been assigned to
take charge of the design, operation,
and upkeep Of motor-driven ambulance
equipment.
No less than 80 S. A. T. members
are now located in Washington giving
active assistance and advice to the
government in the design Of the mill
tary trucks. In connection with the
aircraft program the standard q. S. A
aviation engine has been designed by
two well-known S. A. E. engineers.

day After two and half days tray
cling we arrived at Munster. We

so than the people crowded about US
and threatened to do all kinds of
things with US.
We were all very weak, and this
more than anything seemed to make
the people delighted. AS we walked
off the platform between the people
we were struck at and spat upon. Inc
latter appears to be a favorite pas
time with the Huns, especially the

iod were more savage than the men.
A wounded Canadian who was lying

by one of these women who struck
him on the head with a AottF.
Others crossed their Threats with
their hands, intimating that if they
could have got hold of US they would
have cut our threats.
All the way to No. 2 prison camp at

when we reached our destination.
