PULLMAN TO GET
200 U. S. MUSICIANS
Educational Director f. H. shepherd
Recommends Washington State
College as Training Point for
Soldier Musicians

recommendation that Washington
State College be assigned 200 band
men for training to fit them for
membership in military musical or
CARNATIONS was wired to Washington
Sunday afternoon by Frank II. Shep-
herd, educational director for the
western and northwestern part of the
United States from the committee on
education and special training, who
together with Captain Whitney, was
in conference with President K. o.
Holland and other college officials.
This contingent will be in addition to
the 600 men who will compose the
third training detachment, to open
October 10, making 500 or more men
who will be assigned to the State Col
lege for special training, aside from
the large number of high school
graduates who will become members
of the students army training corps.
To accommodate this larger CON
tingent revision of the plans for the
mammoth mess hall will probably be
necessary, the original plans being
for hall large enough for only 500
men. A large part of the lumber for
the mess hall is already on the
ground, and excavation work has
commenced. The structure will be
rushed to completion before the big
contingent arrives.
The school of music of the State
College, under the deanship of Pro-
lessor Herbert Kimbrough, offers ex-
ceptional opportunities for instru-
mental instruction and training for
the soldier musicians, Professor
Gottfried Herbst being recognized as
one OF the best band and orchestra
directors in the Northwest.

states within each district are in turn
in charge of a state director, who has
full control of the service within his
state
In each community there is being
formed a local community labor
board, consisting of representative
of the u. s. Employment Service, a
representative of employers and a
representative of the employed This
board will have Jurisdiction over re-
cruiting and distributing labor in it's
locality.
A survey of the labor requirements
is being made, and in order that each
community may be fully protected,
rulings have been issued that no labor
shall be transported out of any COM
munity by the U. S. Employment
Service without the approval of the
state director; nor shall any labor be
removed by the service from one state
to another without the approval of
the U. S. Employment Service at
Washington. Every effort will be
made to discourage any movements
from community to community or
state to state by any other service.
This labor program has the ap-
prevail of all producing departments
of the government, through the War
Labor Policies Board.
1t must be understood that farm
labor will be protected, for the in
dustrial program distinctly includes
special efforts to keep the farmer
supplied with labor
The requirement that unskilled la
Dor must be recruited through the
sole agency of the U. s. Employment
Service does not at present apply in
the following five cases:
/. Labor which is not directly or
indirectly solicited.
2. Labor for the railroads.
g. Farm labor-to be recruited
in accordance with existing arrange
ment with Department of Agricul-
ture
4. Labor for non-war work.
5. Labor for establishments
whose maximum force does not ex-
coed 100.
When the survey of labor require
ments has been made and the aggre-
gate demand for unskilled labor in
war work is found, each state will be
assigned quota, representing the
common labor to be drawn from
among men engaged in non-esental
industries in that state.
These state quotas will in turn be
distributed among localities. Within
each locality, employers in non-war
work, including those who are only
partially in war work, will be asked

GOVERNMENT WILL
DISTRIBUTE UNSKILLED LABOR

We beg to direct your attention to
the plans of the U. S. Employment
Service, and to the great effect which
this program will have upon the in
dustrial life of the nation.
On August l. the supplying of war
industries with common labor will be
centralized In the U. s. Employment
Service of the Department of Labor,
and all Independent recruiting Of
common labor by manufacturers hav-
ing pay roll Of more than 100 men
will be diverted to the U. s. Employ
ment Service. This is in accordance
with the decision of the War Labor
Policies Board and approved by the
President on June II. (The War
Labor Policies Board Is composed of
representatives of the War, Navy, and
Agricultural Departments, the Ship
ping Board and tho Emergency Fleet
Corporation, the War industries
Board, and the Food, Fuel, and Rail-
road Administrations. It's chairman
Is Felix Frankfurter, assistant to the
Secretary of Labor.)
The above action was found neces-
sary to overcome a perilous shortage
Of unskilled labor in war industries.
This shortage was aggravated by an
almost universal practice of labor
stealing and poaching.
While the restrictions against the
private employment of labor apply
only to common labor at the present
time, these restrictions will, as soon
as possible, be extended to include
skilled labor In the meantime, re-
cruiting Of skilled labor for war pro-
duction will be subject to federal
regulations now being prepared.
This drastic change in the nations
labor program has been found neces-
sary in order to protect the employer
and the employed, to conserve the la
Dor supply of the communities and to
cut down unnecessary and expensive
labor turnover (Which in some cases
is as high as 100 per cent a week.
and to increase the production of es-
sentials.
While essential industries will
be drawn upon to supply the neces-
sary labor for war work, the with
drawal will be conducted on an equit-
able basis in order to protect the in
dividual employer as much as pos
sible.
Under the operating methods
adopted, the country has been divid-
ed into 13 federal districts, each dis
trict in charge of superintendent of
the U. s. Employment Service. The

LARGE ENROLMENT
IN HIGH SCHOOL
Shows Gain of Nine Per Gent i'm At
tendance Over Last Year, but
Grades Lose Ten Per Cent

Last Monday the Pullman public
schools opened in all departments.
a surprising thing about the open
ing Is that the high school enrolled
nearly nine per cent more than upon
the opening day of last year and the
grades approximately 10 per cent
less. Many families have not yet
moved in from the ranches and the
slump in the grades will probably be
made up later.
The high school enrolled 14S on
the opening day against / SO last year
The grades totaled 4l6 in comparison
with 463 last year.
The largest enrolment in any one
course in the high school is in
French. Three sections are given to
beginning French under the instruc-
tion of Miss Kelso. This course is
open to juniors and all boys II or
over. No German is offered this year
in the high school
Over 20 students have enrolled in
the course in history of the great war
which is being given by Principal w.
A. Lacey OF the high school, This
promises to be one of the most at
tractiye of the advanced courses 1t
will be a one-semester course, earn
ing one credit.

ate of the Iowa State College, last

ton made vacant by Mr.. Kennedy's
resignation.

BAKER MOTOR COMPANY
HAS FINE QUARTERS

The Baker Motor company, after
many days of strenuous labor, is now
comfortably installed in the big room
formerly occupied by the general
merchandise department of the c. R.
Sanders company. The room has
been completely renovated and re-
modelled and with its large window
space on Main and Alder streets af-
fords a fine opportunity to display
the stock of Republic trucks, Chew
rolet automobiles and full line of
accessories for all cars.
In front of the store on Main street
a 600gallon gasoline tank is being
placed underground, and a five-gal-
Ion stroke pump of the most convent
ent model will be installed The
firm will carry large stock of the
Standard Oil company's oils and
greases, and equipment of various
kinds used by autoists. A service
station will be conducted, at which
careful attention will be given to cars
needing repairs of any kind.
Before taking the agency for the
Republic trucks, Mr. Baker made a
careful investigation and convinced
himself of their merits. He also is
prepared to show by figures that the
Chevrolet is the best car for the least
money on the market, when the cost
of upkeep is taken into considera-
ton. A full line of the latest models
is on display and their respective ad-
vantages will be demonstrated to any
persons interested.
The public will be given the same
cordial and genial welcome which
they learned to expect when Mr.. Bak-
er was in the farm implement bust
ness and made the Studebaker We
hicles famous in Whitman county
He and his son are justly proud OF
their store and of their stock and will
take pleasure in showing visitors as
we'll as customers through the estab-
lishment.

After making careful survey of the
world sugar situation the y. 8. Food
Administration has asked the Ameri-
can public to USE NO MORE THAN
TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER-
SON A MONTH until January /. 1919.
Increased sugar demands from the
Allied nations-where the present sug-
ar ration is already reduced to the
lowest possible level-and the need Of
keeping our army and navy supplied
are two of the leading causes OF the
curtailment Of Americas sugar ration.
Americans are requested to make
two pounds of sugar per person (half
a pound week. serve for all sugar
uses In the Notwithstanding cook
ing and all sugar served at the table.
Public eating places, as well as
housewives, will be required to limit
their use OF sugar to two pounds for
every ninety meals served. In the
U. 5. Food Administrations cafeteria
at Washington, where employees of the
Food Administration take their noon
meal, one pound Of sugar is used for
every 100 meals served.
The q. S. Food Administration is
confident that the American public Will
heartily agree to reduce household use
OF sugar here to a level more nearly
equal TO the present restrictions
among the Allied nations.
The situation which the United
States faces In Its efforts to maintain
a fair distribution of sugar to the AL
lied world is as follows:

MUST USE LESS SUGAR:
ALLIED NEEDS GROW
Americans Asked to Use No More Than
Two Pounds Per Person
Per Month.
Shortage May Last Until Beginning of 1919
When New Sugar Crop Arrives.

The sugar supplies throughout the
country, In homes, stores, factories and
bakeries, are at low ebb; the produce
ton from the American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been dlsap-
pointing; the Yield In Porto Rico has
likewise been smaller than antIolpat-
ed, and the Inability Of the United
States and the Allies to secure sugar
from Java and other distant sources
on account of the imperative call for
ships for the movement OF troops and
their supplies has materially reduced
the supply from such quarters. Added
to thla already difficult situation, the
quantity needed by the Army and
Navy greatly exceeds earlier estl-
mates; we must send q large amount

run and many factories destroyed; We
have 20 supply certain quantities to
neutral nations under agreements; and
finally over fifty million pounds were
lost recently through submarine sink
lngs OFF our Atlantic coast.
The Food Administration is conf.
dent that the American people, with
the record Of wheat savings behind It,
having by voluntary savings sent 140,-
100000 bushels of wheat to the Allies
after practically every bushel had been
exhausted from our normal surplus,
Will with the same spirit save the
sugar situation OF the world.
