Many causes have contributed to
create the necessity for a more in
tensive effort on the part OF our peo-
pie to save food in order that we
may supply our associates in the
war with the sustenance vitality nee
essary to them in these days Of pri-
walton and stress The reduced pro-
ductivity or Europe because of the
large diversion of man power to the
war, the partial failure of harvests
and the elimination of the more dis

the destruction of shipping, places
the burden of their subsistence very
largely on our shoulders.
The food administration has for
mulated suggestions which, il fol-

inconvenience on our part.
Reduction Necessary.
In order that we may reduce our
consumption OF wheat and wheat
products by 80 per cent-a reduc-
ton imperatively necessary to pro-
vide the supply for overseas-whole-
salers, jobbers and retailers should
purchase and resell to their custom
ers only 20 per cent of the amounts
used in 1917. All manufacturers
of alimentary pastes, bisuits, crack

should reduce their purchases and
consumption OF wheat and wheat
-four to 20 per cent of their 1917
requirements, and all bakers of bread

should purchase mixed cereal breads

LABOR PROTESTS AGAINST
CONSUMPTION IN IRELAND
British Committee Says En-
fOrcenent Would Bring
on Civil Warfare ~

LONDON, May "a joint committee
of the trades union congress and the
labor party has sent a strong appeal to
the government against enforcing con-
scription in Ireland. 1t says in part:
1T must be clearly evident to the
government that an attempt to enforce
conscription would mean not only the
shedding of blood of thousands of Irish
men, Englishmen and Scotchmen, but
also the maintenance of a huge perma-
nent army of occupation in Ireland. To-
day every soldier is needed on the west
ern front, yet the government is pro-
posing a course which will involve the
withdrawal of hundreds of thousands
of soldiers to engage in a civil war
which will outrage the conscience of the
civilized world.
Moreover, Irishmen are scattered all
over the wide world-in America and in
the dominions of Great Britain itself
besides large numbers on the western
front. The tragedy cannot be local or
confined TO Ireland. 1t may easily be
the beginning of a world tragedy in
which our last hopes of a fairer future
will be extinguished.
With all these facts and terrible an
ticipations in mind, we confidently APP
peal to the government to Immediately
take the necessary steps to avert the
appalling disaster which now therat-
ems"

Five million men, women and boys -
mostly from towns and cities-will be
needed for a few days each to reap the
fruits of the vastest acreage ever plant
ed in this country. These are in addi-
ton to the paid. regular all the year
round farm hands.
The wages to be paid this year are
the highest in history-in many cases
exceeding those of high-class shop work
ers. Connecticut farmers are offering
SIS a day for hands to get in hay. Stack
Colorado, Kansas and Montana. Both
these scales are in addition to board,
which is estimated at from SIT to $40
a month.
An army of $4,000 volunteer workers
has been organized in Kansas alone
whose members are to receive a max
imum of So a day with board.
The average wage for volunteer work
ers this summer, taking the country as
a whole, will be at least So with board

ers in the south will earn UP to 81
Fruit pickers in all parts of the coun-
try, mostly women and boys, will get
from 81 to $3.50. Corn huskers will
be paid about cents a bushel. enabling

American Soldiers in
France VIII Not Be
Permitted to Vote

WASHINGTON. May 9.-American
soldiers in France will not be permitted
to vote in the coming elections, the
war department has definitely decided
Men in training in this country will
be allowed to vote if their states wish
to collect the ballots
In letters TO Representative Rogers,
Massachusetts, Assistant Secretary OF
War Benedict Crowell and Adjutant Gen
eral Mccain said the vote in France
could not be taken without seriously
interfering with military efficiency.
THE matter has been thoroughly can
vassed, upon the ground in France, in
the light of the effort made to collect
the soldier vote in the fall of 1911,
Crowen wrote. These men are en-
titled to have a voice in affairs of the
country, of course. But l also believe
they would be the last ones TO insist
upon exercising the franchise because
l am certain they must clearly see
such a course constitutes an impedl-
ment to military efficiency"
Some opposition to the war depart
ment's decision has arisen in congress.
Representative Rogers today pointed
out that both Canada and Australia
collected their soldier vote in France.

Value Of Cotton Is
Up to Spot Holder

Hardly a month ago some Of the largest
operators in the market. who had been bullish
ssEce the war began. quietly sold out their

The sheepfold uuguaried and no guardian bull

must say they have made good use OF their

broken values badly.
The value Of cotton however is up TO the

It's the cheapest cotton in the world, and at
