CONTENTED TUMMIES'
 MAKE GOOD WORKERS IN DRIVE FOR FUND
TAUGHT LOCAL Wo- MEN HOW TO KEEP COMMIT TEES FOR WAR WORK DRIVE GOING AT TOP NOTCH AND LUNcHEoNs ARE FEATURE

Welfare lectures and writers talk and write of the psychology of the con tented workers and employees.
 Bisbee women know of the psychol- ogy of the contented workers. None of them have read or heard the lec- lures of the welfare experts Few of them have dug into psychological questions. But, experience has long since taught them the truth of the old maxim of the nearest road to the heart of the ordinary human being.
 Bisbee women have it on welfare writers and lecturers.
 Once upon a time there was a com mittee named to solicit funds for the Stonehatchet club. The workers started canvasing at o'clock in the morning and worked until dark. Dur ing the entire afternoon they felt something lacking. Now and then one or the other would run his hand over his vest From noon till dark each of them thought more of his vacant ''tummy" sthan of the subscriptions. The result was apparent in the re- turns
 A welfare expert in the town of Stonehatchet marked the incident and inscribed it on leaves of stone, pro- ducing the first document of the psychology of the worker. Since, simi- lar experts have been producing simi- lar documents without end.
 Bisbee committees have been. called on frequently to solicit funds for war work The latest call came for the united war work campaign, and when the executive committee met to lay the plan of work, one of the first things to be discussed was the daily luncheon period and report hour. None read from welfare books and technical psychological volumes. The women were agreed to a voice, and arrange ments were made at once for feed for every worker at the noon hour.
 Yesterday noon, the day before yes terday noon, this noon, and each noon until the end of the drive, workers will have their fill of good substantial luncheon. Then at the end of the cam paign all the workers and all others who have been connected with the campaign will meet for the final ban quet. Just plain reason and experience told the women that if the workers have contented dummies" their work will be more efficient. If the workers can meet, compare notes, hear others report, see what the other teams are doing, the women knew, the teams would bring in bigger totals, would see more people, and would produce better results. They knew nothing of the Town of Stonehatchet and its committee; but they had the Indian sign on the psychology cranks-they had common sense and most of them had husbands whose ''tummeys" they had persuaded and leased.

TWO DIE IN FIRE
 AND POWDER EXPLOSION

PEORIA, Nov. 13.-Two men were killed in several explosions in the plant of the Western Powder manu- featuring company. at Edwards, H., 16 miles northwest of here. Fire which broke out in the factory build ings and spread to adjoining timber sent hundreds of inhabitants of Ed wards fleeing from the village in the fear that the great powder magazine would explode and destroy the town. One man was reported missing. The danger was later declared over.
 The dead: Keech Schrader. Jack Stewart
 Missing. Chris Franks.
 The shock of the explosion was dis tinctly felt for many miles around and caused the belief in many localities of central Illinois that the tremors were those of an earthquake.

The members of the "contented tum- my" organization who are assisting Mrs. Thomas are: Mrs. E. A Put nam, Mrs. s. NJ. Halter. Mrs. T. l.. Houston, Mrs. E. E. Neyland, Mrs. A. Notman, Mrs. A. G.

Landis and Mrs. J, P. Williamson.
 These women serve luncheon to ap- proximately 100 men and women of the Warren district each noon at the Y. NJ. c. A. lounge rooms. They have assembled table ware and provisions for the luncheon, have prepared the food, and served it each day of the drive and will continue until the work is completed. 1t has been and is q gigantic task, we'll performed.
 And the greatest praise which could be given these women is the manner in which plates are licked plain and clean at each of these lunches. Not even Hoover could complain.

ALLIES PLANNING FOR CLOSER co OPERATION
 IN AGRICULTURE NOW
UNITED STATES, GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, ITALY AND BELGIUM WILL PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO RENEWAL OF EFFORTS FOR BIG CROPS
By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. - Meas ures to promote close agricultural CO., operation between the United States, England. France, Italy and Belgium. during peace reconstruction, are un- der consideration by these nations. To work out effective plans, an inter national congress of agricultural leaders, including belligerent and neutral nations, may be held with the peace conference.
 The general idea under discussion contemplates assigning to each coun- try or geographical district specializ- ing in a particular kind of food pro- duction in which it can do best, and to eliminate the theory that eaGh na- tion should be self-sufficient for pro- duction of all the food or other agri- cultural materials it needs. This would be similar to the international pooling of industrial facilities and raw materials supply. Regardless of the success of this proposed plan, it is certain that tremendous assistance will be needed from the United States impediately for agricultural reconstruction of Belgium and north ern France.
 President Wilson. Food Administra- tor Hoover and Secretary Houston now have these questions under con sideration.

NEW YORK, Nov. l3.-Peace and its attendant uncertainties loomed larger on the finacial horizon today, the stock market undergoing an- other period of liquidation which en- compassed nearly all parts of the ac- tive list
 The decline was accelerated by further restriction of credits and the attitude of conservative banking inter- ests who encouraged general curtail- ment of speculative accounts despite the more hopeful views of leaders in the steel industry. Speculative favor ties were at lowest prices in the later dealings, but rallied from fractions to IF points on the support then ae- corded rails and shippings and the further strength of Mexican Pc troleum.
 United States Steel was again the pivotal feature, its extreme decline of IF pints to 977s being quickly fol lowed, however, by rally in which two-thirds of the loss was regained.
 Rails yielded l to points at their worst, Canadian Pacific displaying actual weakness for a time, but in this division losses were half way repaired, Southern Pacific and Read ing receiving support at recessions- Coppers were heavy. oils and motors irregular and specialties, fertilizers excepted. mainly lower.

In the presidents statement lies the
kernel Of the war savings movement.
This line of work in behalf Of the gov

money out of circulation. hut upon the
saving Of expenditures for nOn-essen-

The national authorities felt that in
