them from complete loss in the years when low price

CHILD LABORERS
NOT NECESSARY
WAR POLICIES BOARD SO
DECLARES.
Defense of Nation Must Not be As
sumed by Little Ones in the Indus
tries; They Are Potential Citizens
and Not Merely Producers.

The war labor policies board of the
department of labor affirms that. the
time has not arrived in Americas war
tion must be assumed by children in
1 industry. Felix Frankfurter, chair
man of the policies board, in a state
ment this week concerning the boards
attitude toward child labor, said:
"The imperative need for a maxi
mum production of the materials of
war requires that all available reser-
voirs of labor be drawn upon. The
exigencies of the national situation are
such that recurrent suggestions that
child labor be utilized have been heard.
In view of this fact and in view of
the probable increasing demands that
children be included in the industrial
mobilization for war, the policy of the
ernment should be clearly kept in
mind.
Define Labor Rules.
"The war labor policies board, which
is the voice of all the industrial agen-
cies of the government, has in part
defined this policy by anti-child labor
regulations contained in the contracts
made by the war administration.
81. No child under ID years of age
shall be employed on war work.
go. No child between ID and 16
years of age shall be employed more
than eight hours a day, nor before 6
a. m. nor after z p. M, nor more than
six days week on war materials.
"The prohibition of the employment
of children below certain ages does
not mean that the employment of
children above those ages is favored.
To recruit children of Ia or 16 years
of age for industry is ignoring their
future value as trained workers
Neither the patriotic desire to serve
Immediately nor the attraction of high
wages should draw children from
school to work.
Are Potential Citizens.
children above the minimum ages
of permitted employment must still
be considered as potential citizens and
not merely as present producers. The
sacrifice involved in the premature la
Dor of children is not yet necessary.
The curtailment of non-essential in
dustry and the employment of men
and women not now productivity en-
gagged will undoubtedly prove suffi-
cient to care for the requirements of
the conduct of the war
SIN order to satisfy the claims of
the future, the maintenance of pres
ent educational and child labor stand
ards is indispensable. The formative
years Of youth should be safeguarded
by purposeful training for developed
usefulness in the nation. The time
is not yet in sight when the defense
of the nation must be assumed by
children"

PLAN CONDITIONS
AFTER THE WAR ACTIVITIES
NOW RECEIVING ATTENTION.
Chairman Edward N. Hurley of U. S.
Shipping Board Tells What Must
Be Done to Utilize Vessels.

Within two years there will be 25,-
be employed, and Edward N. Hurley,
chairman of the United States ship
ping board, announces that it is not
too early to look around for cargoes,
not only in this country but abroad.
twenty-five million tons is a lot
of shipping" says Mr.. Hurley. 'In
one voyage these ships would carry
all the live stock, dressed meats, pack
ing house products, poultry, game,
fish, wool, hides and leather carried
on your railroads in one year. In
less than five trips they would carry
our whole railroad haul of grain, flour,
cotton, hay, fruit, vegetables and other
trips all our lumber; in seven trips all
farm products. In three and one-half
our manufactured goods; in sixteen
trips all our coal and coke. The total
tonnage hauled on our railroads is
about 1,200, 900 tons.
$50, amid all his splendid effort in
producing equipment to win the war,
the American manufacturer must be
asked to take thought for tomorrow
and think in terms of shipping and
foreign trade This might appear like
distraction now, something which
will take the attention from the su-
preme duty of winning the war. But
far from being a distraction, it fits in
with war production and war psychol-
ogy. While our factories and factory
employees are building war material
today, they are also building foreign
trade, if we can only see things as a
whole and make one factor work with
another.
"When the business man turns his
attention to export trade he looks
abroad and thinks of his foreign Gus
toner. But foreign trade actually be-
gins in his own factory. He looks
abroad and studies such factors as
ocean freights, foreign exchange, ex-
port packing, and foreign salesman
ship.
"If he would look into his own fac
tory first, and study factors close at
hand, such as labor turnover, wages,
manufacturing costs and efficiency, he
would be laying solid foundation for
export trade"
Many who think they will be chosen
are not even called.
Critics are misanthropes who throw
stones.
Some men remind one of a birds
eye view of the real thing.
There is nothing in name. No
river thief has ever stolen river.
The road to success is paved with
broken records.
A man never realizes how high a
fence he can jump until he is badly
scared.

"DEBOUT LES MORTS"-
STAND UP! YE DEAD!

Fort de Vaux was the very center
of the furnace" at Verdun. Seven
times the Germans took it and seven
times the French poilus won it back.
For three days French regiment held
the critical position. Cut off from sup
plies, unable to obtain reinforcements,
without food or water, and under mur-
derous fire every moment, these heroic
Frenchmen fought the overwhelming
force of the Hun.
The crucial minute arrived. The
fate of the Citadel of Verdun-the
fate of Paris-the fate of France, and
civilization was the issue. Humanity
and the future Of the world hung on
the issue Of that fight; a handful Of
perate German assault.
tain's message arrived at the Fort de
hausted poilus that they must not be
beaten. France depended on them and
they must hold.
At the moment when the assault
was launched by the Boche, a French
lieutenant leaped to the parapet in
full view of the remnant of the regi-
inent and shouted the words which
have won many hard fights since then:
"Debout les mort5" "Stand up, ye
dead, and fight with us for France and
victoryW
There was something in his voice,
in his manner, in his soul, that went
far beyond the ordinary. He was su-
pernatural. He performed a miracle.
The dead Of Vaux lay dead as before

YANKEE TRUCK DRIVER
sBUSTS' PRUSSIAN OFFICER.

A Yankee truck driver and Prus-
sian officer clashed back of the Cha
teau- -Thierry front, as runs the au-
thentic report of a returned American
officer, and when the clash was over
the Yankee truck driver had found a
way to remove from the Prussian Of
| ficer the arrogance for which all Prus-
sian officers are justly famous.
The tale was relayed from the front
to Camp Dix, N. j., and thence to the
New York Sun, which repeats it thus !:
After depositing supplies and am
munition at the front, the big army
! trucks were filled with German pris-
oners who were to be taken to the
rear. A German captain, member of
famous Prussian regiment, was
among the detail of prisoners assigned
to ride in the truck of which this
particular driver had charge. The
Boches had filled the body of the car
when the driver noticed that the cap
tain had not Joined them.
"Climb in there!" he ordered.
Look at my uniform! Don't you
recognize that Pm captain? You
don't expect me to ride with them ?"
he said in perfect English, indicating
his erstwhile soldiers, as if they were
so many Gagged dogs. Then he de-
manded place on the drivers seat,
where there were already two slightly
wounded American soldiers waiting to
get back to dressing stations.
Nothing doing! I'm particular
about my company! Get in with your
gang, and be quick about it!" said the
| Yankee.
Throw off those American swine
and make room for me on that front
seat!" ordered the Prussian. "T'm a
| caDtain and-O
He got no further. The driver slid
grimy fist into his pocket and
whipped out big penknife, while
the other hand shot down, gripped the
Prussian by the collar, and a power
full arm jerked him from the ground
as if he had been child.
Captain, eh? Well, we won't let
that worry you long! See here" And
as he spoke, the hand with the knife
deftly clipped the insignia from the Of
ficer's shoulders.
you're busted!" he said. you're
a private now! Get back in the ranks
with the rest of themI" And he
dropped the sputtering Prussian into
the back of the truck among the other
prisoners.

TWO TERRIBLE JOKES OF
THE FROLICSOME "DUD.'

A "dud," if you don't know it, is
an enemy shell that, thru some defect
in the fuse or the bursting charge,
fails to explode. Instead of scatter
ing death and destruction, it harms
only the object with which it comes in
contact.
A captain of artillery tells, in a re-
cent Y. NJ. C. A. Bulletin, of two
experiences that his men have had
with the frolicsome 'dud."
Not long ago." said the captain,
inhaling a puff from his first cigaret
in several days, lone of my men heard
'whiz-bang' coming. He darted
head first into dugout like jack
entered and lodged right alongside
him in the soft earth. For a fraction
of second the soldier thought that
he was going to be an unusually COM
plete casualty, but the shell just stayed
there, rested quietly and didn't ex-
plode. That soldier is now firmly con-
WINGED that he was born to be hanged.
another time, one of the men in
the battery was in deep dugout when
one of the big German shells came
thru the roof and lodged right at his
feet 1t was huge shell and it looked
as big around as a washtub to him.
He tainted dead away when he saw
it, for in flash he figured that it had
one of those delayed action-fuses and
was all ready to blow up. When he
came to, and they told him that he
had been scared into insensibility by
'dud,' he was the maddest man you
ever saw. He seemed to take it as a
personal insult that the shell hadn't
exploded and scattered him over five
acres of France"

WATCH OUT FOR
YOUR SEED CORN

G. w. Stone, than whom there is no
more careful nor better informed far
NOR in this vicinity, informs us that
farmers should be very particular to
test their seed corn, especially that
gathered after Oct. 18th, when we had
our first hard freeze. This freeze un-
doubtedly killed the corn germ, as Mr.
Stone has tested well matured corn
picked after that date, and grown on
the bottom land near Bagley, finding
that but two kernels out of forty ger
minated. Good seed corn is important
to both the farmers and the country
at large this year-perhaps more so
than ever before. Test your seed corn
now and if it is not good you have
plenty of time to get some that is all
right Bloomington Record
