erations. Rather, it believes that ef-
forts now should be directed toward
persuading able-bodied men in the
cities to do farm work and that COM
munity action should be directed to
this end.
But there will be work to do for
fering to help the farmers with their
big task. Helping farm women with
their added duties and taking the
place of men in the lighter industries,
thus releasing male labor for the
farms, are important ways in which
women may aid agriculture's war pro-
gram, department officials point out.
Furthermore, women can be expected
to help, as they have In the past, with
the lighter work of truck farming, in
picking and packing berries and fruit
and with much other light labor of
food production.
But il serious labor shortage
threatens the harvest of the country's
food crops the Department of Agricul-
ture, in cooperation with the Depart
ment of Labor and other Federal and
State agencies, will request women to
help meet the situation. It has in
structed it's field agents to aid farmers
in obtaining women workers when
such conditions arise.
Among the sources from which ad
ditional labor may be obtained. on the
farms are: "a from among the wo-
men already on farms; (2) from rela-
tives of farmers who are living in
cities and who are willing to work on
farms during slack business or indus
trial periods; (3) from the foreign wo-
men who are accustomed to work in
the fields under a system of intensive
agriculture before migrating to this
country; and "a from women in near
by villages and towns who might be
employed on farms and still live at
home.
The farmer desiring woman laborers
should indicate the kind of work
which he wants done. the amount. and
the probable dates and wages offered,
and the woman offering herself should
indicate the kinds of work she is will

fact that needed work can be done

the heavier work on the farms can
give valuable aid in the present

RATIFICATION AND THE FARMER

sugar that were used in the manufac-
ture OF beer. The farmer is against
this absolutely The government has
asked the American farmers to work
longer hours The only reason this
hall is not filled with farmers today is
because they are home tilling crops
that today promise to be the greatest
that this country has ever produced.
But they are not satisfied that they
are to do this extra work and that this
food product should be used for the
manufacture of beer that will not only
decrease the food product of this coun-
try but wonderfully and woefully de-
crease the efficiency of labor in the city
and the labor on the farms. You will
find the farmer on the side of right
and justice and when their ballots are
counted, you will find their vote to be
for a dry nation.
In the years to come let it be writ
ten that the state of Illinois, the great
center of the agricultural district,
stands almost as unit for clean ma
ton, dry nation, and ever looking
after the moral welfare of the boys
and girls.

WOULD PROTECT
The DRAFT MEN
Head of A. A. u. Thinks Breweries
Should Close During War

The only way to protect the men
being made into soldiers at canton
ments and camps in the United States
from all booze is to prohibit its manu-
facture and sale during the war. This
was the assertion made by Charles
Dean of Chicago, president of the Am
ateur Athletic Union of the United
States.
"The best friend of the kaiser in this
country is the brewing outfit" said
Dean. "What beer wastes in food,
fuel, money, labor, cars and boats
stacks up alongside what it wastes in
men. Unless the breweries are closed,
as were the distilleries, for the dura-
tion of the war, they will damage the
manpower OF the country and thus de-
lay victory to our arms"
Mr.. Dean denounced the policy that
protects the men already in uniform
and lets those soon to be called to the
colors run wild in saloons. That's
not what physical director would
do" he asserted. "His first order
would close the breweries and saloons.
"At no time was there ever greater
need for sound bodies, hard, springy
muscles and keen wits than now when
we are at war;" Dean continued. THE
way not to get these is the beer way,
the booze way. Every loyal man and
woman in the United States who tries
to build clean bodies and keep clean
minds should join the war Prohibition
The only way to push beer
aside and brains ahead. is to telegraph
the Senate at once that the brewcries
must be closed during the war. Chi

Bloomington Arrests

Figures Show Startling Decrease in
Drunkenness and Crime

Here's a choice morsel for the dry
forces OF the city, who scored such
an overwhelming victory at the polls
April and reaped the fruits OF their
harvest on the second Of this month,
when IS Bloomington bars closed their
doors for dry regime of at least two
years duration. Whether the advent
OF the drys is responsible for the show
ing on the police docket this month
may be matter of speculation, but it
affords a great opportunity for the op-
ponents of the liquor interests to point
with satisfaction to the results of their
first months regime The total num-
Der of arrests by the Bloomington po-
lice department this month is So.
During the month of April, the last
month Bloomington had saloons, there
were l63 arrests. In May. 1917, the
total number of arrests were 1886. while
the monthly average for the past two
years has been approximately ESQ

Throughout the convention the pa
triotic spirit was very strong. The
presence OF the Jacky Band from the
Great Lakes Naval Training Station
playing military airs marked the
gathering as Enthusiastically patriotic in
its personnel and purposes. The as
signment of this band to the rally was
a recognition of the fact that the pur-
poses of the rally were patriotic and
designed to aid in the prosecution of
the war. More than at any previous
dry convention the necessity OF work
ing for victory was impressed upon
those participating.

Farmers are going to ratify the
amendment. There is no doubt. 1t
seems to me that people OF the state
OF Illinois on this one question OF 10y
atty must tell the tale in the election
of members OF the Legislature to vote
on this amendment. ! cannot, and
have studied it from all points, can
not see how a loyal farmer, a loyal
American citizen, can cast his ballot
for a member OF the Legislature who
will vote to perpetuate the accursed
rum traffic in this country.
I would guarantee, ladies and gentle
men, If on that memorable day in No
vember when these legislators are go
ing to be elected that if you would
bar out the voters of our beautiful
city and allow the rural districts OF
Peoria county to cast the ballot, there
would be three dry men in the next
Legislature from Peoria county. The
farmer OF Illinois is loyal patriot and
so far as know in every rural section
of this state Prohibition or local option
has gained a strong foothold.
The farmer today is not satisfied ex-
actly with some things. The Honor
able William Jennings Bryan told us
that $60,000,000 worth of foodstuffs
was used for the manufacture OF beer.
He told us of the thousands and thou
sands of tons of coal and thousands
and tens OF thousands of pounds of
