WOMEN WANTED TO PICK
SANDY SPRINGS APPLES
Maryland Company Says Draft Has
Taken Its Employees and Crop
Should Be Saved.

The draft has taken all the help Of
the auckland Orchard Company of
Sandy Spring, Md, which conducts
one of the largest apple businesses in
the country. The company, through
its president. William F. Thomas, has
appealed to the United States en-
ployment service for unit of the
Women's Land Army to save the ap-
pie crop of thousands of barrels which
is now ready to be picked.
A significant aspect of the appeal
is the recognizing of the inexperi-
enced women as a valuable labor
source. The letter of the president
for women follows:
after consultation with Mrs. F. L.
Ransome, chairman of the Women's
Land Army, District division, with re-
gard to placing unit of the Women's
Land Army to assist in harvesting our
apple crop. l have learned from her
that before any unit is started the
Labor Department determines the
need of such labor.
I'VE have 5000 apple bearing trees
which need to be picked during the
coming two months, and as the draft
has taken all of our help from the
farm our need for the services of
these women is imperative If we are
to save thousands of barrels of apples.
1--WE contemplate their efforts will
be so satisfactory that we can use
them next year not only for fruit
picking. but many other ways for
which they are adapted"
The Labor Department has o. KID
the request for a unit and Mrs. Ran
some is appealing to patriotic young
women to see her Immediately about
the land army.

Helping the Hun

You help the Hun if you are
prone to dodge food regulations,
if you put up a dismal groan
whene'er you view the rations.
The loyal fellow does not
swerve from rules laid down by
Hoover; he blithely follows
every curve and bylaw and
maneuver. You help the Hun
when you repeat dire stories of
disaster you pick up rumors Of
defeat, and make them travel
faster. 1t is the kaiser's stand
ard trick, to keep such rumors
brewin', to make our hearts and
spirits sick through tales Of
death and ruin. You would not
willfully assist this would-be
Alexander, but thoughtlessly
you help, visit, to spread his
propagander. You help the Hun
when you complain of what the
war is costing; the patriot who's
safe and sane will find no load
exhausting. What if demands
on you are big? What if you're
always busted? While you've a
penny still to dig, you shouldn't
be disguised. You're buying
freedom with the cash you shell
for bonds and taxes, and kill
tur's dome you help to smash,
as though with battle axes. It's
easy work to help the Hun, by
snarling and repining, by being
stingy with your mon, by beef
ing and by whining. And
legions do it every day whose
anger would be royal, if we
should point with scorn and say
they are not truly loyal.

The action of Bismarck diaries in
refusing to make deliveries OF milk
at the new prices recently enforced
by the Burleigh county fair price com.
mlttee OF the federal food administra-
ton has reculted in much criticism,
especially from those whose homes
are practically under quarantine be-
cause OF influenza and who have no
means Of sendingsdown town to pro-
cure milk on the cash and carry
basis Feeling that the Burleigh coun.s
ty fair price committee has come in
for some of this criticism, O. w. Rob-
erts chairman; H. j. .lDuemeland,
representing the wholesale interests;
J. A. McConkey Of the retailers, and
0. Lundquist, representing the con-
sumner, or Innocent bystander, today
issued this statement:
In order that the general public
may know the true state of affairs
relative to the local milk question:
The undersigned committee of the
federal food, administration placed the
retail price of dipped milk in bottles,
oyer the counter or in the place of
business, at ten cents per quart. This
price was based on the wholesale price
Of milk. the highest price paid to date
being 25, cents per gallon, or 6 IA
cents per quart. An additional cent
was allowed for spasteurization, or
eleven cents per quart over the coun-
ter. The maximum price allowed by
the government for either charge or
delivery or both is ten per cent Of
the amount of the purchase. which in
this case would be eleven cents per
quart for dipped milk, and - cents
for pasteurized milk, delivered. Some
inconvenience to the public no doubt
will be experienced at first but it is
matter which will work itself out,
and in the end be Of benefit to the
public. When this matter first came
to the attention of this committee, the
price Of 'pasteurized milk was Is
cents, or more than double the whole
sale price. Dipped milk in some in
stances was twelve cents or practical
sly double the wholesale price.
1.-The object of a democratic form
OF government is to see that the
greatest good is done to the majority
of the people, without~injury to the
minority. and this committee feels
. that it, has been, fair to all parties
concerned. - SIGNED. BURLEIGH
