Female Labor Utilized Extensively IN

American Girls Drive PioWs. q

According to government reports,
the drawing off of large numbers OF
men for work in munition factories
and for the army and navy already
has created a serious labor shortage
for agricultural work which can only
be made up by the employment OF
women, observes a London CORE
spondent. That this is inevitable
is proved by the experience of Eng
land, where today tits mandatory to
employ at least 70 per cent of fe-
male labor in all industrial plants,
and where the need, for the use Of
women to work on farms and the
adaptability of tractors for use BY
women have been demonstrated.

all their might,
Long as Old Hay-Wire Jimmy was In
sight.
And among the regular old-time lum-
ber-jacks, i
What had used to swung the double
bit.ed axe;
There was shackers, talked about
their trapping,
Or the husky straw-push told of
scrapping,-
How no licked three strapping big
galoots,-
Put the pox-marks on them with his
driving boots.
If you joined crowd of river-pigs at
night,
You could mostly always get to see a
fight;
And the shanty boys would be a
singing,
Songs Of running logs, and peevies
swinging;
How they rode the rapids on the rolf
ing stuff
None the jams they pulled was ever
big enough.
And the guy who'd been sport and
bowed his stake, as.
He would simply run bill for good
times sake;
Or he'd slyly get his drinks by
spearing,
When he found his pull was disap-
pearing;
And he didn't always have to get mis-
feet,
Walking straight, before he slept
upon tho strcot.
Now when Floater comes to town to
have time, II
If he makes a bit of noise it is a
crime;
If he don't keep pretty nearly sober,
Like as not he's locked up till
October;
And the working man, who wears a
flannel blouse
Has to be as solemn as a meeting
house. -
Oh we lads have lost the only home
we had,
Where we just forgot our troubles
and was glad;
Course,-we've missed the laughter
of the lasses,-
Mingling with the tlnkling of the
glasses .d1I
Since they put the red-light houses all
to rout;
But we're homesick now,-they've got
saloons cut out.
Oh its such bloody shame nearly
wept, s.
When they closed the good old place
that Larson kept:
= And I've got sort of lonesome
feeling,
Longing just to see the lads a
reeling,-
Longing just to hear old Kelly's coy

And the long-haired stories, Charley
used to tell.

MORE THAN 100000
MOTORCYCLES IN WAR

From the arrival of the British Elk
peditionary Force in Belgium in the
late summer of 1914 down to the pres
-ent time the motorcycle has steadily
gained in Importance in different
branches Of the military service. It's
use has not been restricted to the
Allied armies. The best authorities
place the number of motorcycles en-
ployed by the armies of the Central
Powers at the time of the Battle of
the Marine at $4,000 The British had
at least 10000 in service in the spring
of 1915, while the French had about
1900. The Italian forces up to the
present have 10000. according to re-
cent estimates
1t has been figured that more than
100000 motorcycles have been in use
for military purposes by the bellig-
erent powers since July, 1914 This

from the same town. Sadly we must
confess the fact that Fremont men
cannot boast any common city, town
or state as their own. They hail from
all over the forty-eight states, includ-
ing New Jersey, and they all hail their
own state as the best in the bloom
ing Union. But when 1t comes to
actual representation, the star that
stands for Kentucky on our National
Emblem should be made into moon,
with all the other stars grouped
around it. Kentucky blue-blood flows

We have g. Remount Depot out here,
too. That's the same kind of a camp,
you know, only it's where they keep
horses and mules instead. Talk about
William Hart and Douglas Fairbanks,

see those old ex-cow-punchers break

Health conditions, did you say,
brother? Without the slightest exag-
geration, we can say that this is the
healthiest camp west Of the North Sea.
The Camp Hospital moved away be-
cause the nurses complained of having
nothing to do. There is big Base
Hospital located couple of miles
from the camp, which is built large
enough to accommodate thousands Of
patients. It's little used now, though,
except by men who were injured try
ing to learn to ride jitneys or the new
side-baggies. The hospital is there
mostly for men who get sick in other
camps.

Dear FOLKS:
Camp Fremont is the most ideally
ilocated cantonment in the world: we
admit that much. One reason for our
bold assertion is the fact that the
camp is in California, the paramount
state in the Union for climate and
few other things, including Native
Sons, of which, by the way, we have
a. few. We believe Camp Fremont far
surpasses al the other camps on the
Pacific shores, of which there are two,
by virtue of its ideal location in the
central portion of the Bear State.
While the eastern cantonments were
lost in snowdrifts this winter and the
inhabitants thereof suffered from the
effects of Cold Feet, and while our
neighbors to the north were waller
ing" about In sticky mud, and yet
again, while our southern friends were
sweating in the blasting sun where
marry drop of rain falls, Camp Ere
N ut enjoyed beautiful spring weather.
CE.t2g Fever is the only malady which

Everything Ideal
So much for the climate; now a
word, and just word, about the nat
ural surroundings No sun

they look out upon foothills and fer

ity, while San Jose and Palo Alto, two
of the towns the soldier boys love,
are close by.
Now that Honorable Public is thor
oughly introduced to the climate and
natural surroundings Of this City of
the Khaki Klad, we will say few
words about its people. This Regular
camp holds a bunch of Regular men,
for Uncle Sans Regulars are quar-
tered here. Here are no Rockies, no

/ but here are men who have, seen ser

FASHIONS

The Paris ruling in regard to the
seasons silhouette is Straight and
Narrow" American designers are also
following this rule. There is radical
difference of opinion, however, between
American and French fashion designers
in regard to the correct length of gar
ments to be worn during the winter
of 1888. Skirts have never been
worn shorter than those favored this
season by Paris. Even the evening
frocks brought over lately are ex-
tremely short, and when an evening
gown short enough to expose eight or
ten inches of ankle and calf is
equipped with a very narrow panel
train, as many are, the gown cannot
by any stretch of Imagination be re-
garded as graceful.
American designers adhere to the
belief that when a skirt is very mar

u. S. Agency TO START
RECRUITING TEACHERS
Country Needs $1,000 to Serve in
Various Positions; Education
Bureau to Meet Crisis.


President Wilson has authorized the
establishment by the United States
Bureau Of Education of teachers
agency, to be known as school board
service section, to meet the shortage
of instructors in schools and colleges,
estimated as reaching 10000.
The purpose of the section, an an
lnouncement today said. will be to as
[sist in finding teachers for colleges,
normal and technical schools. super
intendents and principals Of schools
and teachers and supervisors of spe-
cial subjects in secondary and ele-
mentary schools.
AS in other lines, the shortage in
the teaching profession due to calls
for military and Industrial service is
most marked in certain localities. The
bureau of education has received a
number of letters describing condi-
tons as serious. 1t will be the work
of the new section to, aid in redistrib-
uting the available teaching force of
the country.
The service Of the bureau will be
free and will be1argely in the nature
of a registration service to bring
teachers and school officials together.
Unlike teachers agency, the bureau
Will not undertake to recommend any
teacher for any position.
