be PREPARED NOW
TO HELP THE NEEDY
Generous Response Urged To
Appeal For BelgianS.

Already the ladies in charge of
this branch of Red Cross work have
received quite number of garments
for the stricken people in Northern
France and occupied Belgium. The
committee, Miss Lou Ella Seibert
chairman, will be at the police sta
ton every afternoon from to 6
o'clock to receive these articles of
clothing. Martinsburg and Berkeley
county's allotment is but 1000
pounds and it should be an easy
matter to secure it as the town and
county have been blessed the pres
ent season.
Every kind of garment, for all ages
and both sexes, is urgently needed.
In addition, piece goods-light, warm
canton flannel, and other kinds of
cloth from which to make them gar
ments for new born babies, ticking,
sheeting and blankets, wooden goods
of any kind-and shoes of every size
are asked for. Scrap leather is need
ed for repairing footwear.
Since the clothes will be subjected
TO the hardest kind of wear, only
garments made of strong and dur
able materials should be sent. 1t is
useless to offer to any afflicted popu-
lation garments of fiimsy material or
gaudy coloring. Make the gifts prac-
teal

condition. A hundred thousand desti-
tute women in the occupied regions
are eager to earn a small livelihood
by requiring grit clothing and MAX
ing new garments adapted to needs
with which they are familiar.

American Barley raisers are
,ressing great concern over the
tuation affecting the prices OF
.eir crop. Food Administrator re-
,'orts show that an over supply Of
barley is piling up in the country
elevators. Since experiments have
shown that the American people do
not take to barley bread, the state
ment is made that the great barley
crop which American farmers raise
may have comparatively little
value aside from its use in the max
ing Of beer.
Tie Allies, it is reported, have
almost quit buying barley. This has
resulted in low prices and q result

on good authority I am Ia that this

decide to take course in Journalism
at this time. Leave that aad architec-

more professions which hold great
possibilities, and in the present and
near future at that, for woMen. Really

surely, or intensively, as her circum-
stances permit.
lone of the most recent avenues
opened to women is that of optical
glass workers. Until the war started
this country obtained most of its opti-
cal instruments from Germany. But
the optical glass problem has been
solved, except for. skilled workers. To
meet this shortage the Ordnance De-
partment of the Army has established
in Rochester. N. Y. a training school
for operators on precision optics. A
living wage will be piad during the
six weeks course, on the completion
of which the students wilM6e able to
enter one of the optical mHniton fac

The woman who has longed to be
a welfare or social-service worker has
greater chance than ever before of
finding employment. Stores, factories
schools, colleges, corporations, com
munities, cities, counties, States, the
Nation, here in America and abroad
all have need for this kind of female
worker.

WAR Aims OF
THE WORKERS

The outstanding fact of world poll
tics at the present time, and when
peace comes this fact will be made
clear, is that great tide of revolu-
tionary sentiment is rising in every
country Everywhere the people are
becoming conscious of their power.
They are beginning to ask questions
about the policies that have brought
the world to the edge of ruin. In this
war the people have shown that they
are capable of the greatest sacrifice
and endurance because they love lib
erty and are DESTROYS of peace. But
the people will not choose to entrust
their destiny at the peace conference
to statesmen who are not prepared
to make a peace which will be re-
ceived with favor by the people. A
peace which will substitute right for
might, either by force of arms of the
power of the almighty dollar.
That unless the war has been
fought in vain. politics in the future
will be dominated by the common
people. They are getting more and
more organized imbued with the aim

SHALL PREJUDICE
BuLEP

There is some great force in Amer
lea that is working for the destruction
of all organiazed efforts that are aim
ing at Industrial Democracy. The l.
w. w, the Socialists, the A. F. of L.,
the Bolsheviki and the Non-Partisan
League are all slated for destruction.
Prejudice is the chief weapon that
is being used. Some one is putting
poison in the press dispatches about
every radical that is opening his
mouth or writing line to give utter
ance to any protest whateverj
The following news item went the
rounds of the capitalist press. 1t
was an inspired dispatch from Butte,
Montana. We think that the govern
ment might do well to investigate who
the guilty parties are that are send
ing out such misleading statements.
If papers lie in one thing, then we
should not be expected to believe any
thing they say and each individual
rust therefore be competed o draw
all of his own conclusions about all
things that are Happening in this and
other lands.
Here is the dispatch, which is
known to be a deliberate lie so far as
the paper mentioned is concerned. We
make a big guess that the other part
is equally faise.

MAKE FARMS PRODUCTIVE

WASHINGTON,-Farm-laborp prob
lens in France are being taken up
seriously by the American Committee
for Devastated France, which has COM
municated a plan of it's work to the
Department of Labor. The commit
tees aim is to increase the produc-
tivity of French farms as'much as pos
sible and to make France as nearly
self-supporting as it can, so that the
produce from American farms can be
supplemented by grain and other food
stuffs grown at home.
Because of the near approach of
winter the committee is not attempt
ing this season to deal with abandoned
farms, but is working with farms al
ready under cultivation.
The committee is particularly in
terested in two types of refugees-the
farm owners and the hired laborers.
Many farmers, driven fran their own
lands by the invaders, want to be
placed on land where they can earn
a livelihood for themselves and their
families. Many of them have been
able to take with them part of their
live stock, and the committee places
them, when possible, on its farm colo
MES.
The committee has, all told, about
1900 acres, but there are $4,000 refu-
gees in the Eure-et-Loir alone since
the last offensive. 1t is the practice
of the committee to pay men 5 francs
a day and women 9francs when it
hires them for farm work

fact that women are invariably COM

upon them?

GO. D

A lot of foolish rot is being written
these days about gold. Some facts
bring us down to brass tacks in con-
nection with it's function as a medium
of exchange and explode the notion
that credits will be sustained or re-
habilitated by any increase of produc-
ton under intensive substituting.
At the end of the yearf 1915, the
stock of gold in the world functioning
as money in gold bullion reached the
total sum of 700. This
$471, 100000 a year during normal
production periods. Compare these
facts with the facts as to bonds, war
debts and so forth and understand
that gold is not the basis of security
but the national wealth, hte product of
mines, mill, factory, field and farm.
Why since he United States mint
was established total gold coinage of

of gold is relatively small and bears
the proportion to the total production
as S5 S to so, very small proportion
indeed when one considers that gold
has been the main working metal of
manufacturing jewellers.
Security for payment of debt is
best devised upon the product of the
farm or factories, or upon the stored,
or present or future output of them,
as is guaranteed by the property law.
1t is upon property in these forms o
national wealth that the national cred
it is secured: the national wealth and
the national resources and not upon
the national gold supply which is to-
day little more if in excess three and
half billions, not equal to one single

secured by the natural wealth and
