FRANCE TO DEFEND JEWISH
RIGHTS.

The Zionist Organization of Am
erica is in receipt Of official informa-
ton to the effect that NJ. Pichon,
the French Minister for Foreign
Affairs has sent letter to the Cen
trail Committee of the Alliance
Israelite Universelle assuring them
that the Republic desires the eman-
cipation of the Jews in Eastern
Europe, and is disposed to do every
thing in it's power to bring about
a just settlement of the Jewish ques-
ton in those countries. M. Pichon
adds that, regarding Roumania, the
French Government is convinced
that under German pressure, the
restricted emancipation promised to
the Jews is not in accord with the
declaration of M. Take Jonescu and
M. Bratiano in June, 1917, and he
has promised that at the opportune
moment the French Government
twill take steps to ensure that the
very wide views of these great Rou-
manian Statesmen shall prevail"
The declaration by M. Pichon being
the policy of the French Govern
ment regarding this question is in
line with that of the British Govern
ment as expressed by Mr.. Balfour

senting the Zionist Organization

TOO LONG ABSENT"
Governor Hunt of Arizona Wants
Jewish Nation In the Councils
of the World.

Governor George w. P. Hunt Of
Arizona is of the opinion that the
Jewish Nation has been too long
absent from the councils of the
world. He expresses this sentl-
ment in letter to the Zionist Or
ganization of America, in which he
says:
"While the Jewish population is
com paratively small, still there are
many here who are interested in this
wonderful move towards the re-
Mobilization of Nation too long
absent from. the Councils of the
world. I have noted with interest
and amazement the steps taken to-
ward the establishing of Unlver-
sity at Jerusalem and the magn1fl-
cent contribution made by Mr..
Schiff."
Governor Hunt refers to the con-
tribution of $4,000 in Jewish
Colonial Trust Shares recently made
by Mr.. Schiff to the Jewish Unlver-
sity.

BASEBALL PLAYEDBY
MANY SOLDIER BOYS
League Has Been Organized
Among Pershing's Men.
National Sport Also in Full Swing In
Training Camps on This Side of
Atlantic-Number of Athletic
Fields Increased.

While the soldiers Of Uncle Sam are
handing a solar plexus to the Germans.
the men in khaki back Of the front and
the thousands In training In camps on
this side Of the Atlantic are enjoying
the national sport to the limit. A
baseball league has been organized
among Pershing's men, and at each
cantonment In the United States, the
great sport so popular In America is
in full swing. Because Of the marked
interest In the game among the Ameri-
can soldiers, the commission on train
ing camp activities of the var depart-
ment, has decided to increase the num-
Der of athletic fields.
Camp Lewis, Wash, probably heads
the list for baseball fans. The SOL
diers in this large western cantonment
have 16 diamonds and are clearing
ground for more fields. Exhibition
games have been staged, with the CO.
operation Of the major leagues, which
have broeght in large gate receipts.
More than 10000 baseballs and 5000
bats have been sent to the American
camps. Large quantities Of gloves,
masks and chest protectors have been
given to the sport-loving soldiers. The
government is determined to keep the
fighters fit for war. The primary pur-
pose in keeping the men Systematically
engaged in athletic activity in the
training camps, is to educate the SOL
diers to be better fighters. Incidental
ly, of course, there Is q %recreational
value to athletics.
Men just out of the mud-soaked
trenches of France, after nerve-rack-
ing days amid flying bullets and burst
ing shells, instinctively turn to ath-
letics for much-needed diversion. 1t is
a big task to organize the vast army of
Uncle Sam, but the problem is being
solved, and at the rest periods between
strenuous days of fighting 'over there
and between training "over here" the
Sammies have an opportunity to par
ticipate in all kinds of sports.

United States Department OF AgricuI-
ture Recommends That Farmers
Cooperate In Purchase of Va
rlous Farm Outfits.

Work which is generally done In
some part Of the country with the aid
Of machines that greatly increase the
efficiency Of the man employed Is still
largely done by hand in other parts.
Machinery for the most of the work in
connection with preparing and tiling
the soil is available In many sizes, and
frequently two or more outfits, each
recurring the time of n man, are
seen working in the same field on OPP
erations for which implements OF two
or three times the size of those used
could be employed with just as salts
factory results. There are few farm
horses which a driver of ordinary In
~telligence cannot train to work In
large teams in q few days. time, and
most Of the larger implements are lit
tie If any more complicated or diff
cult to handle than the small ones for
the same work.
Machinery Profitable.
Where the farm is large, and 1t is
not possible to procure sufficient labor,
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture say it is more
profitable, as well as patriotic, to in
stall machinery which will enable the
operator to plant, cultivate, and har-
vest a full acreage Of the crops best
suited to his land and the needs OF
his country, than to let some Of the
land lie idle, or, at best, have 1t pre-
pared and worked poorly, and the
crops out Of season.
In Farmers Bulletin $50, "Better
Use Of Man Labor on the Farm" just
issued by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, photographs of
actual farm scenes are printed to
show that in many cases work can be
doubled by the use of larger imple-
ments and greater motive power, and
sometimes the gain is considerably
more than that. If the nature OF the
work and the machinery for doing it
are such that the best implements
will increase the efficiency Of the
worker by only 80 or rs per cent their
use may make possible an increase In
acreage by just that amount and at
least will enable the farmer to do
his work in less time and allow him to
take better advantage Of good wealth

Combining to Purchase Machinery.
Can all farmers afford to buy extra
horses and larger implements to save
man labor? OF course those whose
farms require but n or two horses
to do the ordinary work seldom can
afford to do so. But they can secure
this additional help by combining to
purchase larger machinery, and doub-
ling up their teams to operate it; or
one, usually more skilled In operating
machinery, or better able to purchase
it, may own the larger implements,
and do the work for several neighbor
farmers, besides his own, to the adj
vantage Of all concerned. Both these
methods have been tried out in many
localities with mowers, harvesters,
tractors, thrashing machines, and
other farm machinery.

"Nurses Are Needed for Immediate
Service"
The American Red Cross has issued
several flyers and booklets in a cam
paign to enlist trained nurses for an
increasing army and under the head
ing quoted above has this to say:
The enemy thinks he can win before
the United States mobilizes all its re-
sources for making war-and among
these resources nurses are vital. ASK
yourself this understanding question:
as our incomplete mobilization due in
part to my holding back?"
Trained nurses are needed today
needed in the training camps at home
and desperately needed in the hos
pitfalls in France, where there are hun
dreds of wounded daily.
The American Red Cross does not
pretend that you can serve your ceun-
try without sacrifice. You will receive
less compensation In war work, meas
ured in dollars; but you will receive
infinitely larger compensation, meas
ured in self-respect, patriotism and an
selfish devotion to your country in the
hour Of Its greatest need.
Longfellow said:
"Trust no future, howe'er pleasant
Let the dead past bury its dead;
Acti Act! in the living present,
Heart within and God O'erhead."
Nurses, If YOU fail, HE dies!
In a small booklet issued by the
Red Cross various questions are an
swered. For the benefit of trained
nurses who may wish to enlist some
of these questions r repeated here

who wish to be trained for nurses

Maple Sugar Value Grows.

~
The value Of the national produc-
ton Of maple sugar and maple strip
has grown from $2,e00,000 in 1899,
when the census first a~scertained 1t,
to $12, 100000 for 1918, according to
the bureau Of crop estimates, United
States department Of agriculture.
The maple sugar and strip of 1913
were worth five times the cranberry
crop Of 1917, one and one-third
times the hop crop, three-ffths Of
the sorghum strip made, one-half Of
the buckwheat or faxseed or onion
crop, one-third Of the oranges, and
o%ne-quarter Of the sugar beets.
The principal region of production
extends from northwestern Ohio
through New York to Vermont and in
cludes parts of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts and Pennsyl-
vania. Outside Of this region there Is

Nurses are needed now. Five thou
sand are wanted between now and
June 1, and approximately $4,000 will
be needed before the end of the year.
What Are the Requirements for the
Red Cross Nursing Service?
To be eligible for enrolment a nurse
must be a graduate of a recognized
school for nurses, giving at least two
years. course of training in a general
hospital. In states where registration
is provided for by law an applicant,
to be eligible for enrolment, must be
registered. She must be at least TWEEN
ty-one years of age.
What are the Physical Standards?
During the period of the war a phys
ical examination certificate should be
filed with other application papers at
the time of enrolment.
Where do Red Cross Nurses Serve?
Their service may be in this coun-
try or abroad. Service abroad is not
guaranteed.
What is the Length ~oflService?
Red Cross nurses appointed for
service in the military establishment
during war are expected to remain as
long as the emergency lasts, unless the
need Of their services cease to exist.
They may, however, be relieved from
duty at any time in case Of miscon-
duct, or should their services prove I'M
satisfactory. The same ruling con-
corning length of service and resigna-
ton applies also to nurses serving else
where with the Red Cross.
Must Nurses Pay Travelling Elk
penses?
Travelling expenses are paid for
nurses travelling under orders from the
wal and navy departments or the
American Red Cross.

come exceedingly abundant and de-
structive. Rats migrate from places
where food Is scarce to places where
1t Is plentiful. Abundant food In the
new locality causes abnormal repro
duction, the effect of which in a short
time is that Of a sudden invasion by
a vast horde Of rats. @''"~"~+s
Other movements Of rats are local
and seasonal in occurrence. An exo-
dus takes place every spring from
cities and villages to river banks and
farmsteads in the surrounding coun-
try, and is followed by q return mi

enon, which has been observed almost
everywhere, explains why rats are
more abundant in towns during the
cold season and in larger numbers In
the country during the summer.
That all rodent destruction is prop

INVESTING IN MACHINERY

If two men, driving one horse
each, can combine the two
horses into one team which one
man can drive, and this team
can do as much or more work
than the two did singly, isn't 1t
wise to combine them and save
one mans time? &.
And If the farm is large and
conditions warrant, isn't it wise
to combine two Of these two
horse teams into one, and save
another mans time?
But before making these extra
investments 1t is wise for the
farmer to consider well the cost
and the probable gain. If extra
horses and Implements cost
more than they will produce, Of
course it would be unwise to
make the investment.
