and laborers to shoes for ordinary
street use, and children's shoes. Pri-
ces range from $2.OS to s6.3S a pair.
The shoes are made entirely Of leath-
er and the retailers price is stamped
on the sole.
Italian shoe factories are manufac-
turing standardized shoes, using
leather furnished by the Government.
which controls the system Of sales to
the public.
In. England the manufacture Of

OF the 3,082,949 persons called un-
der the selective-service act, 252,294,
or S.1S per cent, failed to appear for
examination, according to a state
ment issued by the Provost Marshal

!sted or been commissioned and had
| allied to notify their boards, some
'ho had died, and many who were
transferred to other boards but by
mistake had been carried on the

Many of the remaining 10000
we're aliens, a number of whom left

National War-Savings Committee.
Frank Il. Anderson the SAN Fran
cisco tanker. says:
when Congress appropriated So
OOO.OOOOOO for the first year of the
war it, consciously or unconsciously,
appropriated the labor and services OF
all Of the people of the United States
not x2O.cOO.OO.GO but raw material
and the labor to turn that raw mate
rial into the finished product needed
in the prosecution of the war.
1.-The production Of the country be-
fore it entered into the war was APP
prOximately $4O.OOO.QOO.OOO. the con-
sumption approximately $35.OW,OOO,-
600. the excess approximately 5000
100000. Consequently the ability to
make good the appropriations of Con-
gress requires increased production or
decreased consumption, or both, that
would raise the surplus from the nor
NAL $5,OONOOO.OOO to $4,000, 100000.
The plans and activities of the adj
ministratiOn will fail or be delayed to
the extent that the population fails to
bring the surplus of production over
consumption to the basis demanded by
Congress: and neither Liberty Bond
issues. War-Savings Stamps, nor taxa
ton can solve the problem, for the rea-
son that money is of no avail if the
population consumes what the Govern
ment needs to carry on the war. We
must teach the people that every act
and every expenditure of each indi-
vidual has good or bad effect on the
winning Of the war; that to the extent
that each individual fails to deliver as
full days work as he is capable Of
he IL working against the Army in the
field and aiding the Kaiser. and to the
extent that he fails to respond to the
Governments demand for conservation
of those things that are needed for the
Army he is giving aid and comfort to
the enemy and is creating tile condi-
lions and causing the delays for which
he is criticizing the administration.
The great purchasing power Of the
country is not in the hands of the conn
lmratively few rich men. but in the
hands of the great mass of workers"

PROFITABLE Hens
SHO0LD BE RETAINED
Indications Point To Good Poultry
Prices Next Fall and Winter.

A large number of Louisiana far
mers were unable to commence their
Matching early enough to procure the
desired number of chicks within the
regular Matching period, according to
John L. Prehn, Extension Poultry
Husbandman, U. S. Department of AZ
riculture, cooperating with L. S. o..
It is therefore advisable, says Mr..
Prehn, to make up for this shortage
by retaining all profitable hens under
two years old. 1t is essential to Gull
out the drones or slackers among the
layers Records show that the plans
for the 1918 Matching season would
use about - per cent less eggs for
that purpose than in 1917. Added to
this we have the fact that most of the
commercial hatcheries of the country
were unable to carry out their plans
through inability to make shipments
because Of express congestion, etc. II
IS therefore evident that this years
production will be considerably below
anu llllS Tie ldCc VI SCpdttT
requirements assures a good price for
poultry during the fall and winter
months.
On March Is there was in this coun.
try about 20 per cent less poultry
than at the same time last year. The
Government is urging that every farm
in the country carry as many hens as
can be conveniently handled, so those
farmers who must dispose of profitable
hens during the coming summer
should sell to other farmers who can
care for them. The only poultry thar
patriotic and thrifty farmer would
sell for market during the next six
months are old ROSTERS, no longer ls-
quired for breeding purposes; surpIu.;
| young ROSTERS, as fryers and sot.

sibly be made to do their bit in the
