AMERICAN FlREMEN
Service on New Merchant Ships At.
tracts Fine Type of Men.

When the war began large number
| Of the firemen on American merchant
vessels were foreigners. Spaniards
and Portuguese especially favored this
branch of seafaring.
As national sentiment favoring a
| great merchant marine rose In volume,
the sentiment that the new ships
should have all-American crews rose
| with it. AS a result, great change
| Is taking place in the character of the
| men found In the firerooms of Ameri-
can ships.
It is now possible to find ships with
entire fireroom and engineroom forces,
from coal passer to chief engineer,
simOn-pure Americans.
The young American is now encour-
| aged to enter the coal bunker or fire.
room. He knows he will be well paid,
we'll treated, and have good chance
for promotion.
The coal passer soon gets to be q
| fireman. The fireman graduates into
the position of Oiler or water tender,

If he wants to take a special course
| of study I'm marine engineering before
going up for a license, he has the op-
portunity of entering a free engineer
ing school, at a technical college,
where he will receive special course
| of instruction, at the expense of the
United States shipping board, the gov
eminent department having in charge
| the manning OF the merchant marine.
On obtaining his license, the ma
rine engineer finds himself among a
class of highly-paid, clean-cut, intel
ligent men. who are proud of their
! profession.
These rewards of hard work and ap-
plication are attracting a fine class OF
young men to the firerooms of the new
ships being built for the merchant ma
| rine under the direction of Charles Nj.
Schwab.
| Not less than 100 young men are
wanted every month by the United
! States shipping board recruiting serv-
| ice, to be placed on training ships, to
be prepared for fireroom service.
Applicants may enroll for this serv-
Zee at any one of more than 5000 drug
store recruiting stations maintained by
the shipping board in the cities and
larger towns of the country.

HAS HIS OWN MESS
Marine Fireman Also Has High Pa,
and Reasonable Hours.

How does marine fireman live
aboard ship?
That question is asked as to the
merchant marine. which is now en-
rolling thousands Of young men for
service on the new cargo fleets OF
Uncle Sam.
There was once an accepted idea
that the fireman was the lowest type
OF marine worker, and the worst treat
ed. Modern conditions have exploded
that idea.
A modern fireman has good job
for these reasons: He has good quar-
ters-the law looks out for that, and
the builders of ships nowadays see
that the law is observed.
The modern fireman has good fare.
His food is rich, by comparison with
the salt horse" fare Of his seafaring
granddaddies. On modern ships re-
frigerating plants make possible the
serving of fresh meat and vegetables
throughout voyage.
The modern fireman has his own
mess-in other words, his private din
ing room aboard ship. Special mess
boys are assigned to act as walters
for the firemans mess.
The modern fireman has facilities
for bathing.

are regulated, and are moderate. He

similar size in the history of the
world was ever raised, equipped and
trained as quickly as the present

He pointed out the fact that in

He says the fact that this was ac-

HALF CROP
RUINED BY
SNOW FALL
Chances for Bumper Wheat Yield Bright
ened; Moisture Enable Flowing;
Put "SeasOn" in Ground

When Chickasha and Grady county
finished the hot coffee and FLAP
Jacks" this morning and set forth into
the cold cruel world, a blanket of
snow was waiting as a greeting.
1t was seen at about o'clock that
the snow would Just about ruin" the
chance for a half a wheat crop in
Grady county, and it was freely esti-
mated that if the snow continued
through the day, there would be even
betting on bumper crop. Farmers
and wheat growers seen on the
streets this morning were wearing
smiles, the broadness of which hove
not been seen in these parts in many
moons.
"This is exactly what the wheat
has been needing" said o. c. Cooper
county farm agent, this morning
"The wheat has been badly in need
of moisture In fact it was absolute
1y necessary that some rain or snow
be forthcoming if Grady county ex-
pected to raise a crop There is
about so per cent as much wheat in
the county this year as there was
last, and the growing condition was
about so per cent, UP to today,
"The late wheat showed trace of
yellow following the freeze. 1t look
ed pretty sick, but in the past few
days, a considerable part of it came
out in fair shape. In my opinion this
snow will bring it out nicely Some
of it may be too far gone. There
was a considerable acreage that had
been absolutely killed by the dry
weather
"Not only was the wheat needing
moisture, but the situation was get
ting pretty serious considering the
outlook for a spring crop, If Grady
county expected to raise corn crop
next spring and summer, 1t was inn
perative that we have some moisture.
The ground had become too dry to
plow. In the past two or three weeks
in my trips over the county, / saw
Cply two men plowing The dry con
dition of the ground was keeping
them out of the fields At this time
Of year, everyone should be plowing,
or should have their ground already
ploved.
'The moisture from the snow will
enable the farmers to get into the
fields and plow. OF course it is inn
possible to estimate the good that
will be done. 1t is entirely owing to
the extent of the snow. The more
the letter"
Mr.. Cooper stated that it was very
hard to estimate the wheat acreage
In the county at this time, but stated
that there were about 10000 acres of
wheat in the county, basing
mis- calculations on the 100000 acres
last year.
