REGULATIONS FOR
ALL IMPORTANT
KINDS OF CHEESE

The Food Administration has issued
special regulations governing manu-
facturers, dealers, brokers and COM
mission merchants in all of the i'm
portant kinds of cheese. They sup
plant the former rules on American
or Cheddar cheese and include also
such foreign types as Swiss, Brick,
Limburger and Munster.
The maximum margins over cost
which these dealers must not exceed
are definitely fixed, those for Aneri-
can being the same as in the earlier
regulations. The items that may
enter into the cost are stated explic-
lilly. All cheese must be sold with
out regard to the market or replace
| ment value and only on the basis of
the actual cost plus a reasonable
profit. The margins given are not
to be considered as reasonable" as
they were purposely made wide
enough to take care of cases in which
the cost of doing business is unusu-
ally high.
Full reports on costs and margins
or prices charged in any given period
must be furnished on demand of Fed
eral Food Administrator, Robert SEQ
vile.
There are certain kinds of cheese
that have not been specifically men
| toned in these rules, as they are not
of sufficient Importance on the mar
let, but dealings in these varieties
come under the general rules in re-
spect to excess profits.
| It is anticipated that certain pro-
visions in these rules will be of great
benefit in raising the standard of quail
| ity of some of these foreign types,
particularly Round Swiss which have
had such a large demand since the
war cut off imports of foreign cheese.
| Due to the keen competition amons
dealers to get the product of factori-
les, cheese was taken out of the fac
tory before being properly matured
and as a result the quality suffered
Hereafter a dealer who buys ungrad-
ed cheese cannot sell any portion OF
a lot at a higher price than the &C.
tual price paid per pound for the en-
tire lot plus the specified margins
The tendency now should be for deal
ers to delay buying cheese until it il
more mature and the quality can b
| more nearly determined. The i'm
| provement in quality should, in the
opinion of the Food Administration
help the industry meet the competi
ton that is sure to return with the
end of the war.

COL ORED TROOPS MAKE VERY Good
SHOWING ON The THE FIRING LINE

disassembled and cleaned under fire,
continuing in action throughout the
engagement.
One team fired fourteen clips when
the gun jammed. Reporting this to
Lieut.. Shaw they were ordered to
clear the jam. While under intense
fire of artillery and machine guns
they. coolly dismounted the gun, re-
mounted it and continued firing until
ordered to cease. The fire of this
machine-gun section was doubtless
wholly unexpected by the enemy, and
this fact coupled with the effective
fire laid down was chiefly instrument
tai in causing the withdrawal of the
enemy.
They were instances of individual
bravery during the action. Private
Howard Gaillard with smaE rapid
fire piece was unable from his posi-
ton to get a good fire to bear upon
the advancing enemy groups, SO he
coolly and with entire disregard of
danger, mounted the parapet, and
while enemy bullets were flying
around him, fired his rapid-fire piece
from the hip, first at one group and
then at the other. Privates Smith
field Jones and George Woods are
especially mentioned for their cool
| ness in the face of violent Smelling
when they dismounted the machine
guns and then re-assembled them and
continued firing until the close of the
action. Lieut.. R. G. Crane Vas in
command of the group which receiv-
ed the brunt of the enemy fire which
besides the barrage, added heavy
fire of large mfnenwerfers. There
was no flinching; the group always
worked under perfect control, keeping
all combat posts manned though three
men were knocked down by the ex.
plosion of shells. Others commend.

are Corporal Frank Harden, Private
H. D. Brown, Corporal Bean, Ser.
geant G. A. Morton and Private San.
ders.
From the elaborate artillery prepar.
alton, the size of the box barragt
and the extensive front occupied, the
coup de main attempted by the en-
envy was clearly intended to be on {
rather extensive scale.
Whatever may have been the OBJ
ject of the attack it as successful
frustrated. No enemy party succeed
ed in getting within assaulting dis
lance or any part of the line excep
at one point and here they wer,
quickly pressed back and then driv
en- off. The shell-torn conolt1on O
the ground tells of the fierceness o
the action. That the enemy suffere,
considerably in casualties is no
doubted, as some of their group
pushed close into the machine gun mr.
but as their men fell they were car
ried off. The casualties on our sid
were small and none of them serious
The chief Importance of the actio,
was in bring this American unit TO
the first time under fire and demon
strating the steadiness and fightin
ability of the men.

TRAIN MILLION
BOYS FOR WORK
TO AID THE WAR

Washington, Aug. 13.---Organization
Of 100000 youths to do industrial
work, take military training in prep
aration for later army service, and
at the same time attend specially ar
ranged vocational or technical schools
is planned by the government as a
means of dealing with the growing
shortage of labor without shortage
of labor, without drawing boys away
from their schooling.
The oorps will be developed through
extension of the United States Boys
Working Reserve, which already has
enrolled 100000 boys between the ages
of Is and 81, engaged mainly this
summer in farm work. Many of these
boys will go back to school in the fall,
but a large proportion, together with
others to be enrolled, will be directed
into industrial work to fill vacancies
left by men now being drafted for the
army.
These boys will be organized as
units in each community, serving I'M
der an adult training officer, taking
courses of study in night schools, or
by some other systematic program,
living either at home or in camps and
wearing the uniform of the reserve
corps, which will be of gray cloth
with a red collar Jacket
| Another feature of the program for
drawing on the great reservoir of
youth labor involves the postponing
of the opening of the schools to about
| Oct. Is for the boys now at work on
i farms throughout the country. This
will apply only to those boys and not
| Ito all 1o11ni1s Definite nIanS are now
! being worked out through the Fed
eral Bureau of Education.
| Without this plan for an industrial
army of youths, hundreds of thou
sands of boys would quit school, ac-
cording to w, E. Hall, Director of the
Boys Work-Reserve, to take big pay
ing jobs as helpers in industrial
plants, and their education would be
curtailed.
If the draft age minimum is re-
duced to IS, as is proposed by Secre-
tary Baker, youths above that age
would cease to be eligible to mem
bership in the Working Reserve. Con-
sequently, officials contemplate low
ering the ages from 16, the present
minimum, to Is or even IA years.
Boys who serve in the Working
Corps are to receive medals and SER
vice records representing official rec
IGNITION by the United States Gov
eminent of their value in the war
emergency. Development of the pro
iect is assigned mainly to the Depart
ment of Labor, under which the Boys
| Working Reserve now operates, and
enlistment in the corps will be en-
tirely voluntary.

HARD TO PAY TAXES.

Washington, Aug. 13-Dificulties Of
soldiers who formerly were successful
business men, in paying last years in
come tax on this years pay are illus
trated by story brought to Wash
ington by an officer serving at one of
the southern environments.
Last February, the officer said, he
explained to the men of his COM
mand that all married men would
nave to pay a tax on all their last
years earnings over $4,000 while all
unmarried men would have to pay on
all income over $1,000.
Coming to him later one of the
men, private, said:
II guess won't be able to pay that
income tax. I haven't any, money"
"Oh, that's all right" replied the
officer you have until June to pay it
and you can save it out of your pay
by that time"
IT am afraid couldn't" responded
the private. II made $4,000 last
year and I blew it all in when 1 was
called into the army"

SOLDIERS TO Be R EWARDED FOR WAR
SERVICE WITH IA RMS IN The WEST

Washington, Aug. 13-When the
soldier Of 1866 laid down his arms
to take up civil occupation, he turn
ed westward to a matchless public do
main which he helped to develop in
TO the worlds richest farms and cit
les. The government was able to
point the way to method by which
the returned soldiers was able to turn
his talents for a livelihood, and the
government now is laying the ground
work to have similar land available
when the great war ends and the
millions of American soldiers return
to civil life.
While the vast domain that await
ed the civil war veteran can not be
duplicated for those who return from
the European battle fields, there are
millions Of acres which can be made
available with proper legislation and
subsequent development, and which,
according to the present plans, will
be offered to the returning soldier
with ample time to pay for the cost
of development If he desires to &C
cept It.
Congress will be asked for legisla-
ton to make this land available, &C
cording to the present plans of Sec
rotary Lane and Congressional lead
ers.
Secretary Lane has announced that
It will be the policy of the depart
ment Of the interior to ask for legis-
lation by which arid lands of the
west, out over lands of the North
west, and swamp lands in the mid
die west and the south, can be re-
claimed and the soldier given a pre-
ferred status in it's allotment. Bills
are now before Congress on that sub
ject, and the plan now is to weld into
an administration bill measure en-
bracing Secretary Lanes ideas, the
legislation to be patterned after a
bill now before the House public
lands committee by Representative
Smith of Idaho.
The amount of swamp and cut
over lands is extensive. reports from
the Department of the Interior indi-
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer. (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1918-1924, 1918-08-13

cate but Just how extensive Is not
known. 1t Is estimated that approx
imately 100000 acres Of swamp
and overflow land can be made avail
able for farming. Some of 1t has
passed into private ownership. 1t
lies chiefly in Florida in the states
along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts,
in the Mississippi delta and in Mis-
souri,, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and California.
It is estimated that of the cut-over
and logged-off land there is approx
mateley 200, 000,0 900 acres suitable for
agricultural development. A larger
per centage of this land is now imp RI
vate ownership, and it is shown that
failure to develop it is due largely
to inadequate methods of approach,
says Secretary Lane. Unless a new
policy of development is worked out
in cooperation between the United
States, the states and the Individual
owners, a greater part of 1t will re-
main unsettled and uncultivated. The
land lies chiefly in Washington and
Oregon, Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, AL
ALBANIA, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas.
Other than the planning, the de-
velopment should be by the returned
soldier, according to Secretary Lanes
views.
1.-THE dam or the irrigation project
should be built by him." Mr.. Lane
says. THE canals, the bitches, the
breaking of the land and the build
ing of the houses. should, under prop
er direction, be his occupation. He
should be allowed to make his own
home, cared for while he Is doing
it, and given an interest in the land
for which he can pay through a long
period of years, perhaps thirty or for
ty years.
80 that the soldier on his return
would have an opportunity to make
a home for himself, to build a home
with money which we would ad-
vance and which he would repay, and
for the payment we would have an
abundant security"

According to the German official
reports, they win a glorious victory

RED CROSS WORK
IS NOT HALTED
BY HOT WEATHER

During this last week Of extremely
warm weather which we experience
ed in Bridgeport, and on account of
which we have been -"knicking off,
to go for swim, or going for nice
long cool ride in the country, leaving
the war work, which most of US all
are working on in some form or an
other, wait for another day, how many
of US realized what an exhibition of
gameness and patriotism was going
on quietly in the auxiliaries of the
Red Cross in the various churches
throughout the city.
Day after day. through the swelter-
ing heat these women having been
engaged in piling up bandages. sweat
ers, socks, helmets, preparing for
supplies for the coming winter and
without pay or thoughts of quitting
until the cooler weather set in.
To those whose selfishness still
has grip on their patriotism a sight
like this should create some little
desire to participate in something to
help this country win the war.
No praise has been heard of for
these wonderful women who are for
saking their vacations this summer
to assist the Red Cross and who are
piling up the storehouses of this or
ganization with the fruits Of their
labor to combat the damage and
frightfulness done by the brutal
Hun.
To those Of US who are left to re-
main at home to speed up the supplies
of war and are enjoying good wages
and freedom from the horrors of war,
| let the example set by the women of
the various Red Cross AuXiliaries in
this city be an inspiration to those
war workers when the thermometer
| makes another drive" that they will
tstry and exhibit in some measure the
| gameness of the women of the Red
| Cross,

These people who won't take off
their hats when the national anthem

GE \ WOOD URGES
100000 men

Washington, March 26.-Back from
visit to the western battle front,
Major General Leonard Wood, in
confidential statement before the SEN
ate military committee, declared that
military opinion is unanimous that
the German offensive will fall, and
urged great increase-to 100000
or 100000 men in Americas army.
It was General Woods opinion, ac-
cording to his auditors, that the Ger
mans on the western front now are
numerically superior, both on the
ground and in the air, but that the
allies are in better position. While
confident that the German offensive
will be halted before the enemy has
gained any material detectives, Gen.
eral Wood suggested that the offen-
sive may change the warfare into a
more open contest. Therefore he
r &c m mended training American
forces for open warfare as we'll as
for trench fighting.
The general discussed the situation
in Europe, and at home. Stating that
the French are disappointed in the
size of the American army thus far

WILLIAM BROWN VAN DYKE

WILLIAM BROWN VAN D1kE
On Sunday afternoon, from the
Norwegian Lutheran Church, was held
the funeral of William Brown Van
Dyke. Death had come as result
of paralytic stroke and was not al
together unexpected, he having suf-
fered several of these strokes during
the last year. Mr.. Van Dyke was
born in New York State on the 9th
of November, 1853. He came to Will
liston in December of 1914 where he
has made his home up to the time Of
his death. Mr.. Van Dyke was a
quiet, meditative man, respected and
beloved by all who knew him. Those
of his immediate family, who survive
him, are his wife and six children,
three sons and three daughters, all of
whom were present at the funeral
Rev. l. G.. Monson and Rev. Geo. S.
Natwick officiated.
The sympathy of all goes to the be-
reaved in their hour of sorrow.

in Europe, he recommended immedi.
ate steps to increase both the Am
erican expeditionary forces and the
army in training in this country.
Chairman Chamberlain said General
Wood recommended that any army
of 2,5OO,OOO men in France at the
earliest possible moment and $780,
900 more in training at home. Anoth-
er committee member placed General
Woods recommendation at 1000, 900,
one-half in France as soon as pos
sible. General Wood also recon-
mended compulsory universal mill
tary training.
In urging that the American war
program of men, ships and munitions
be speeded up and increased. General
Wood said no American artillery or
airplanes are yet available to Gen.
eral Pershing's men, and that a.
though 1000 American aviators are
ready, they are without planes. Use
of Liberty motors in bombing instead
of fighting machines also was recon-
mended by General Wood.
Commenting on the German often
sive. General Wood, according to
members of the committee said, al
though the initial success Of the
Germans probably had been greater
than expected either by allies or
enemy, judged by the British guns
reported captured, he and allied off,
GERS believe the drive will be short
lived. There is no possibility, he
said, of the Germans obtaining their
apparent objective, the channel ports,
or threatening Paris.
