WORKERS NEEDED TO HELP
IN THE WAR INDUSTRIES

Washington. June 4.--non-essen-
tial industries must sacrifice millions
of workers under a labor recruiting
plan being worked out by the labor
policies to speed war production.
War industries, including agricul,
ture, will need approximately $500
600 workers the next elk or eight
months. tentative figures show. No
labor, skilled or unskilled, is to be
had in the open market.
Means of withdrawing these work
ers from non-essential industries
with as little disturbance as possible
to the country's economic life has
been put up to committee which
will report to the board Friday.
Under the plan outlined 30 far by
the policies board. the government
win establish q corner on the conn-
try's labor market through a central
ICED recruiting and distributing
agency.
Private and public employers en-
gagged in war production will apply
TO this agency whenever men are
needed. A priority committee of the
board may be created to pass on such
demands and decide which shall be
supplied first.

money we save this way in War Saw
ings Stamps.
The government is asking us to
give up 'luxuries."
"Luxuries?"
Bless you there are mono these
days.
Luxuries these days are crimes.
Felonies of the most ferocious and
felonious form. Yes, at this moment
when the very soul of civilization Is
groaning and straining in mortal
combat with the incarnate spirits of
primitive, lustful, avagery-"ex trav-
agant indulgence in the pleasures of
the senses, dress, etc"-becomes an
outrageous offense, a brutal crime,
against humanity; against the bodies
that have been broken and torn and
mangled on the battleflelds OF Belgi-
UNI; against those of our own flesh
and blood who are at this instant
facing the agonies of hell in the she'll
holes, on the wire, under the deluge
of iron and steel and poison gas on
the No Mans Lands of Europe that
Liberty may live.
If these can pay such price-if
Marion and his devoted followers
could endure, as they did endure,
starvation and rags and shelterless
nights in the rain-drenched swamps
of the south, could uncomplainingly
sit down to o meal of baked potatoes
with little salt served ON pieces of
bark to win freedom for you and l.
for Gods sake, Is 1t asking too much
of US to ask that YOU and ! give up
some trivial pleasures, some useless,
senseless, fancies that we may keep
It?
That is all America is asking in
this War Savings Stamp effort.
That we stop spending money for
unnecessary things and with the
money help ourselves preserve our
own Liberty, our own independence.
There is only one answer:
''We'll remember Marion and the
baked potatoes, we'll forget luxuries
and darn fool things we do not need
we'll make it q War Savings Stamp

BAKED POTATOES, LUxURIES

(By Earl wayland Bowman)

(By Earl Wayland Bowman)
Do you remember this incident,
told in the old histories Of the Amer

Marion and his ragged heroes had
rounded up a bunch of British in one
of those lightning-like raids which
made them a terror to the soldiers OF
George the Third.
Among the prisoners was an ofhcer.
Dinner time came.
Marion courteously invited the
British commander to dine with him.
With out q word of apology the
brilliant American general sat his dis
tinguished guest down to the meal.
It consisted of one course only.
Baked potatoes with a little salt
served on pieces OF bark.
Do you remember the incident?
Curiosity, establishment, emhar-
rassment were registered by the To-
ry.

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.

People are. often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family ply
stefan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
pain in the stomach and bowels, collie
and diarrhoea require prompt treat
ment, an dhave in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could
be procured or a physician summon
ed. The right way is to keep at hand
a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie and
Liarahoea Remedy. No physician can
prescribe better medicine for these
diseases. By having it in the house
you escape much pain and suffering
and all risk. Buy it now; it may save
