Work or Fight

The work or fight" order of the
War Department, which became et-
fective July /, will assist very
materially in all labor problems,
including that of farm help. BY
ch.~ order all men registered under
the Selective Service Act must be
enoared in a useful occupation or
they will, at once, be put into the
Army. This does not mean tnat
soda ierkers, theater piolts, and
fortune tellers, for instance, Will
flock to farms in appreciate num-
bers. But it does mean that these
and other nonuseful workers Will
hunt useful Jobs and replace IN
town employment men who 90 nave
farm knowledge or aptitude and
who want to help on the farms in
this emergency. The ultimate et-
feet Of the work or fight order
vii. mean more help available for
hta farmers.
For many months the U. S. De-
parement of Agriculture has been
campaigning to create "Work OF
fight" public sentiment IN eaGh
community Of the country-a pup
lie ointment that will scorn' the
man who fritters away his time
and effort and doesn't do some
thing useful in such time as this
The War Department order nov,
applies that principle to men OF

man do something worth Wnile' uWo W
whatever he can best do to promo'e

ELECTRICAL DEVICES
USED BY RED CROSS
Greatly Increase Output

Using the most up-to-date cleo
trical equipment the Cutting De-
partment of the Red Cross is able
to cut the materials for hospital
and refugee garments at the rate of
10000 yards every FIVE and half
days. This includes not only the
cutting but the assembling Of parts
and the shipping of garments to
the Chapters. It is estimated that
Chapters save from three to secen
cents on each of the garments sup
piled through the Cutting Depart
ment.
Ninety-foot and siXty-foot tables
are used and on these the laying
up machines unroll the material
from the bolt in layers extending
the whole length Of the tables. The
design is marked on the top layer
bv hand, by stencil or by electric
machine which burns tiny holes
along the line of the pattern. This
machine accomplishes in fifteen
minutes the work Of one man work
ing four hours. Cutting machines
with ten-inch blades capable OF
penetrating 216 layers of heavy
fabric are operated around this
pattern. The assembling. is done
usually by three persons, one
collecting the smaller parts, an,
other the larger ones, and a third
inspecting and wrapping.
Each bolt Of goods is carefully
measured before cutting and an
exact estimate made Of how many
garments it contains. From a
ninety-foot strip of material eight
hospital shirts may be cut. TO md
piece of waste material larger
than a three-quarter inch triangle
Lis unusual. Even these scraps are
not wasted for they are sold to rag
dealers.

Miners Put Work
\ Before Pl


In nearly every coal mining field
the mine worers are making the
sacrifice of many of their holidays
and diversions in order to respond
to the demands Of the Government
for more coal. Wherever there
seems to be a danger Of taking men
away from the vital task of mining
more coal the miners are doing
their part by making the necessary
sacrifice.
At Barnesboro, Pa, the center of
an important mining district, one
of the annual events enjoyed by the
mine workers has been the annual
picnic Of the Northern Cambria
Scottish Club. Word has been re-
ceived by James B. Neale, director
of production, United States Fuel
Administration, that the Northern
Cambria Scottish Club has decided
to discontinue this annual picnic
during the period of the war so as
not to interfere in any way with
coal production.
In other producing districts
throughout the country there are
many public gatherings, county
fairs, fremen's picn.cs, and such
like diversions scheduled. Wher-
ever any Of these seem to threaten
to divert the mine workers from
their patriotic tasks it is desired
by the Fuel Administration that
! they be cancelled.

factories, and offices. DR.. E. V.
Wilcox, of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, told what
other towns and cities have done in
aiding farmers in harvesting wheat
and assisting in other pressing
farm work. Following this meet
ing a series Of conferences will be
held in smaller towns, where the
serious need Of farm help will be
presented.
