Farms Need Men
BY HERBERT QUICK
Member Federal Farm Labor Board

There are numerous complaints of labor short
age from farmers almost everywhere. Tens of
thousands of excellent farmers have gone to war
and there is shortage. The amount of land under
cultivation will certainly be to some extent re-
lstricted IF the right sort of man were placed in
charge of the matter in every county and would go
diligently to work to organize the partially en-
ployed labor of the cities and towns and villages,
good deal of this shortage could be made up.

But l have been very i'll for a

Albert w. Featherly, who is a

agree with great many of the
American soldiers in their critic

the war for so long that il is a
wonder to me that they get along
at all.

and all but the larger of these
are made up of farmers, who
drive to and from their little plots
of ground. Some of them have
good teams, some use a horse and
others oxen, hut they work their
land for all that there is in it.
That is the main thing.

AJEAH MAKES SOAP
BAD FOR WASHING HAIR

Most soaps and prepared sham
poOs contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brit
tie.
The best thing to use is just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for
this is pure and entirely grease
less. It's very cheap, and beats
the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moistea the hair with
water and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance Of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thoroly,
and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wayy and easy to handle. Besides,
It loosens and takes out every par
ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff.-

Song in War Time


Speak low, speak little, who may

While yonder cannon thunders
boom
Watch, shuddering, what each
day may bring;
Nor pipe amid the creak OF
DOOM"
And yet-the pines sing overhead,
The robins by the alder pool,
The bees about the garden bed,
The children dancing home
from school.
And ever at the loom Of Birth
The mighty Mother weaves and
sings;
She weaves--fresh robes for man
gled earth;
She sings-fresh hopes for des-
perate things.
And thou, too; IL thru Nature s
calm
Some strain Of music touch
thine ears,
Accept and share that soothing
balm,
And sing, tho choked, with
plying tears.
