DRIVE FOR SHIP WORKERS ON
Chairman Hurley States Vital Need
and Asks but Slight Sacrifices
From Men.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Because ships
are the primary factor in the winning
Of this war, and their construction de-
ponds upon labor, 100000 men are to
be enrolled during the present week in
the United States shipyard volunteers.
Registration week" has been set
aside by proclamation in each state,
and the organization for enrolment Is
complete. The board wants men will
ing to give q good days work for a
good days pay, and does not ask them
to sacrifice present positions until
called upon.
The need is great. The shipping
board has the money; the housing Of
men is being arranged for; the yards
are being completed, and the mate
rails are available. All that now Is
lacking is the spirit in the nation that
will send the best mechanics to the
Yards not to disrupt business.

farmers to represent the agricultural

ceive~my most careful and respectful
attention."

Plant Life Changes.

The life of plant varieties grown
from seed, in their pure and original
forms, is very short, notes botanist.
They soon pass in slightly different
forms and the process is constantly
taking place. So that in few years
a named variety is quite unlike the
original, even though a direct descend
ant. Everything grown from one orig
inal seed is soon broken up into many
divergent forms, and in some cases
this takes in the first generation.
