EMPLOYMENT OFFICE
HAS ORDER FOR rs MEN

The Federal State Employment
Service, through the personal SOL
icitation of an employe of the Of
flee, received today an order for
twenty-five laborers. This is the first
effort on the part OF the office to
secure orders for local work and
every indication points 10 the fact
that people who are out of employ
ment in Ardmore will be provided
with work ii they report at the Of
flee.
For the last few days conditions
have been very slack at the office on
account OF having no orders and it
has had. numerous applicants for
work which they have been unable
to fill. Calls are now coming into
the office for help and it now finds
itself short of hands to I'll the places.
All persons who have made applca-
tion for work should report there at
the earliest possible moment as there
are jobs waiting for them.
In addition TO receiving the order
Tor Is laborers, the Office received
several orders from rehneries and
pipe line companies for expert men
in their lines. From all indications
it seems that even after all men out
OF employment in Ardmore are
placed there will still be vacancies.

IN WESTERN
CANADA LAND VALUES
But Forty and Fifty Bushels Of
Wheat tc the Acre.

During the past year there has been
a greater demand for farm lands in
Western Canada than for a number OF
years past. The demand is for good
farm lands improved or unimproved.
And at an increase of from ten to t1f-
teen dollars an acre more than the
same lands could be had for couple
of years ago.
The rise in the price of every kind
of produce grown on these Western
lands, In some cases to double and In
others to treble the price prevailing be-
fore 1914, have attracted and are at
tracing in ever-increasing proportions
their money, and apply their energies
in the production of wheat for which
the allied nations are calling with
voices which grow louder and more
anxious as the months roll on, and the
end of the war still seems distant.
Beef, and more especially bacon, are
required In ever greater quantities,
and the price of all these things has
scared, until 1t is not a question OF
what shall We produce, but how much
can we produce. Even should this
world calamity be brought TO a close
In six months from now, II will be
years before normal pre-war prices
prevail, and meantime self-lnterest IL
not patriotism is turning the minds of
thousands back to the land. The In.
evitRble consequence has been the rise
in values of land, especially wheat
land.
The Calgary Herald, commenting on
these conditions says;
''From inquiries made from leading
dealers In farming and 'ranching prop
critics. and from the information gath
cred in other ways, 1t is known that
the value of all land-wheat land,
mixed farming properties, and even
good grazing land-has risen in the
last two years 40 per cent. Wheat
lands i'm some districts have practical
ly doubled In price. One dealer In
farm lands recently sold three sections
for $40 an acre, one extra good quar-
ter went as high as 500, and another

eQualed or even surpassed in the near
future is beyond question. There is
feature about this rush to the land
from which the most solid hope can
be drawn for the success Of the move
ment. The proper tillage of land, to
produce large crops in climate like
ours is now understood and practiced
as 1t never was in the early days Of
The province. 1t would seem too that

organized and actively at work for
more than a year.
Elliott Dunlap Smith was lntroduc-
ed by Chairman Snellenburg as the
young old man" of the National De-
fense Council, who has received this
title because he was the first MEMBER
of the Council.
Building up the morale of the peo-
ple. Mr. Smith explained, is the first
task of a State Council of Defense.
The publicity committee, by educating
the people as to what their nation ex-
poets Of them, usually has charge OF
this part of the work.
Because Delaware 10 one of the last
states to come in with the work Of the
National Council of Defense, he point
ed out. it is all the more necessary
iat Delaware should get wn to
brass tacks as speedily as possible.
The Council may also work to i'm
prove civic conditions, which must be
kept up during the war times as well
as in normal times. He declared that
statistics show the death rate Of this
country 10 nave sT0WH rapidly in the
past six months and there are not
enough physicians in the country to
take care of all the needs.
Fraudulent collection for war char
tiles was another subject on which
the Council might get to work, the
speaker suggested. While the war
chest idea has been considered by the
National Council, it has not made any
formal recommendation and until II
does fraudulent collections for war
movements must be checked.
German propaganda must also be
checked and the State Council is the
proper body to check it, Mr.. Smith
said Another condition mentioned
which the State Council might help to
improve, he said in conclusion, is the
indease of juvenile delinquents.

AUGUST MAY FIND The
SUPPLY OF SUGAR GONE

That Date Unless Homes Con-
serve, Warns Mr.. Heinz.

Unless the people will bring them
selves down to the wartime ration OF
sugar in July, therell be no sugar Tor
them in August. The sugar situation
is now sQuarely up TO the household-
er; and, unless every householder
conserves sugar rigidly, and adheres
strictly to the rule OF not more than
three pounds a person each month,
there will absolutely not be enough
sugar to meet the demands for can
ming and preserving when the height
OF the season is reached. This is the
warning issued last week by Howard
Heinz, Food Administrator for PENN

The manor the woman-who
boards sugar at this time, or who re-
fuses to conserve it, is not only
Stacker but an open and devoted ald

despite warnings and suggestions are
still using sugar in normal quantities

"Householders who do not think
their small savings will count ought
to remember this Manufacturers us

cut away down, use only total OF Y
per cent. of the sugar consumed, ana
the remaining rs per cent. IS used Dy
household consumers.
Further hotels and restaurants are
limited in the services to approXlm-
ately one-half ounce per meal per
person, and if they exceed this ration
they will soon be without sugar.
There are substitutes for bread
and for beef. and for other necessi-
ties-but there are not any satisfact-
orv substitutes for sugar. Every

the result, we are short more tnah

that every person who uses sugar in
large or small quantities, give the

Keep fire away from straw stacks

is suggested that all straw be baled as

will tend to preserve it.
