RECRUIT
POLISH
LEGION

The magnificent work done by the
Polish recruiting agency IN Liberty Hall
IN Hammond brought about by the zeal
Of DR. r. o. Ostrowski. in which hum
drods Of foreign born have been enlisted
from Hammond. East Chicago and Gary
i'm the Polish legion has brought to
light some unusual facts regarding this
service.
An army Of 5000 Poles recruited in
the United States. is today hghting side
by side with our own soldiers on the
western front Of France.
Coming at apex of our struggle for
democracy. this announcement has pc
culiar interest. It recalls the memory
Of Kosciusko and Pulaski and the aid
which they gave to the American
colonies in the revolutionary war 1t
makes the iberty-loving Polish people
once more a factor in world politics 1t
arrays against the autocratic central
powers Vet another small nation and
makes more possible of realization the
dream Of freedom which they have
cherished for almost two centuries.
Pianist the Moving Spirit.
Ignace Jan Paderewski has been the
moving spirit behind this army of
American Poles Already known TO the
world a a great pianist and composer
he has now become a great leader Of
men. Last fall he Cancelled an i'm
portant concert tour and devoted his
time to gathering the elements OF
Polish army. On October 4 at the
hosciuszko centenary celebration in
Chicago a new Polish battle hymn was
sung both the words and music Of
which were written by Paderewski. Two
days later our government formally
authorized the recruiting of a Polish
army in the United States. TO be COM
posed of men who were not vet natur-

TREMENDOUS PROBLEM FACES
NEW CONGRESS-

One of the tasks before the new
congress will probably be the form
ulation and adoption of a new. ship
ping policy. .
Government building and operation
of ships as at present is admittedly
to meet the war. emergency. Under
our existing laws and rules of, ship
ping board operation. of ships under
the American flag will be much more
costly than under any other $ flag
where japanese, Chinese, ..Lascars,
Italians. or Europeans are employed
as part of the crews, using the more
highly educated men, such as Amer
lean seamen in the more important
positions of navigation and operating
the ships.
If these ships are to remain, under
the American flag and. carry traffic
in competition with those of other ma
tons, some plan must be. found to
eliminate this difference" in cost if
owners may compete under interna7
tional conditions.
1t has been suggested that the goyz
eminent pay difference in, cost, of OPP
Grafton by chartering vessels, to oper-
ating companies at rates which will
enable them to, meet competition.
This would virtually be subsidy and
lead to endless, political favoritism.
Other means would. be to change our
shipping laws ETC., making for more
economical operation. -so-
1t is not necessary, and no person
proposes to lower the labor standards,
either in food, wages or-accommoda-
tions for the American seaman, but
it is no help to American seamen to
force regulations onto American ship
owners which kill the merchant ma
rine in peace times and force ,Ameri-
can seamen to / seek service under
foreign flags,
The shipping question will undoubt-
eddy become national political issue.
The war has been made the, excuse
by socialistically enclined politicians
to fasten upon the nation the, policy
of government ownership which was
not originally contemplated -
1t will deyolve on the new congress
to review the whole subject and de-
eide on a policy which accords with
American ideas of individual initia-
tive as the future, of private industry
in America lis. at stake.

KILLING THE WOOL. INDUSTRY
WOULD HELP COTTON

The Fort Wayne News comments on
the fact that the factories in England
are making $4,000 uniforms for the
United States army, stating, 1--WE were
not aware, before the imparting of
this information, that the factories of
the United States were too busy to
take on q contract of this sort. In
deed, we doubt very seriously whether
the managers of our factories knew
it." A correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce, imparting the
information that government reqire-
ments have assumed such proportions
that there seems little, If any, likeli-
hood of the war industries board re-
leasing wool for civilian use, says:
From present indications, when the

ufacture are exhausted, the mills will
either have to take government con-
tracts to maintain operation or close
down, but it is not believed that gov
eminent orders can keep all mills oc-
cupied." Meanwhile, with this sitna-
ton staring America in the face, our
war junta goes ahead and unloads
contracts in Great Britain for mill
lions of dollars worth of "a uniforms,
which if let here would insure a
lengthy period of productive industry
to our own mills and mill operatives.

under a continuing free trade policy,
England will have a grasp on, our
market firmer than she had in the
years before the civil war; the board
is certainly showing its ability. to put
the plan into the; most effective exc
cution. An extension. of such a policy
as this, and with the free trade of
tomorrow standing guard over the ,in-
dustriai wreckage of today, the south
would at length .lealize its long de-
sire to sell its raw materials to Eng
land, taking payment in British man
ufactures produced at s. per cent of
the American wage and absolutely
dominating the, American market.
This is! removal of economic, bar
riers with vengeance

And who else could swallow all the
sorrows and trials and discomforts of
war and still remain smiling on the
surface? No other than France.
Much, indeed does civilization owe to
this country of countries. Think of
the frightful conditions, conditions
that would make one give up and de-
spair, but these people merely smile
and prosecute their plans, as near
normal as possible.
As War Continues Wool is Scarcer
Less and less fabrics of wool are
seen in the new models. This is the
inevitable outcome of the usage by
the armies of all the wool supply
available. The prices are enormous
and at the present time smart lux
urious coat is quite as expensive as
a fur one. Owing to this fact many
women will possess a fur coat this
winter, for the reason that cloth one
is almost as expensive, and fur always
looks so much more elegant. Indeed,
the acme of smartness and exclusive
ness looks as though it might be
combination of cloth and fur.
As a rusult of the extreme demand
for fur, designers in that trade have
offered many new and attractive de-
SIGNS in odd and different combina-
tons. The most popular combination
is of seal, dyed muskrat and squirrel.
These pelts seem to lend to each
other all their individual qualities of
softness and charm. Nutria is in big
demand because of its excellent wear
ing qualities. Mole, of course, is

be expended that she look graceful in

with the consciousness of being well
dressed. This model illustrated is de-
veloped in heavy tweed material and

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
THE MAN ON THE LAND
Farmers Should Fill the Home Pork
Barrel

Too many farmers buy a part or
all of their supply of meat from local
stores or hucksters. Meat, especially
pork, can be grown and cured at home
for much less than the cost of the
purchased meat, to say nothing of
ready market for good country-cured
hams, shoulders and sides. In spite
of this the custom of farmers pur-
chasing cured meats is increasing.
1t may not be practicable for every
farmer to butcher and cure his own
meat, but in nearly every community
few farmers could do this make
good profits. Farmers who sell coun-
try cured meats have experienced
very little difficulty in establishing
permanent trade. To accomplish
this one must understand the kind of
cured meat his trade demands, and
also how it is made. Country cured
meat often carries too much fat and
undesirable odors, and it is generally
too salty. A well marbled, juicy, saw
DRY piece of meat showing the proper
admixture of fat and lean and pos
sessing a good flavor is the kind the
consumer desires.
The Poultry Flock's Bit
A good sized flock of laying hens
is one of the most valuable assets the
farmer can have. Always there is
demand for strictly fresh" eggs; al
ways there is a top price for the COM
modify.
The unusual conditions now prevail
ing and which inevitably must pre-
vail for an indefinite period should
stimulate the farmer materially to
increase egg production, thereby not
only adding to his income, but also
supplying another important cog to
the big sustainance machine with
which America is to food-wallop the
Hun.
+ Prepares Dwelling and Storage
+ s. Models
l. Working drawings for farm houses
and bunk houses, designed to meet
conditions in various sections of the
country and assist in obtaining addi-
tional labor for farms, have been pre-
pared by the Bureau of Public Roads
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. Working drawings have been
prepared also for storage houses for
small grains, corn, combined grain
and corn, and other crops. Copies
of these plans will be sent free on ap-
plication to the Division of Rural En-
gineering of the bureau.
Corn a Champion Crop
Corn, on a given area, will produce
more human food than any other crop
commonly grown on American farms.
This crop heads the list in units of
energy produced per acre, and is
ahead of all other crops except navy
beans and soy beans in tissue-build-
| ing material. In the latter element
soy beans far outclass all other crops,
showing nearly twice as much pro-
tein per acre as navy beans, which
rank second in this regard.
The dairy COW is the most efficient
of farm animals in the production of
human food milk and the hog is the
most efficient in the conversion of
grain into meat, producing five times
as much per acre as does any other
animal.
These facts and others are told in
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture's Farmers Bulletin 877,
Human Food from an Acre of Sta
Pile Farm Products" which gives an
acre-for-acre comparison of the food
value of various crops and animal

Housekeepers Are Asked to
Report Any Excessive
Charges in Stores.

Potatoes have been put back on the
weekly fair price list Of the District food
administration. and. according to the
advance announcement made in The
Star yesterday. the retail price on this
commodity has been materially reduced.
The best potatoes. or the No. 1 grade.
as referred to on the price list, are
quoted at from 65 to 10 cents peck.
The next best grade, referred to as No.
grade, is listed at 40 to As cents. The
administration was emphatic today in
stating that housekeepers who are
charged more than these prices should
report the fact, with the name of the
dealer to the local administration.
In quoting what it considers a fair
price on potatoes the administration
based the retail prices of No. l grade
upon the present wholesale price. which
ranges from SIS to 6s cents peck.
1t is intimated that fresh meats will
soon be quoted on the fair price list.
The local administration is simply wait
Ing for the final report from the special
committee appointed nearly two months
ago to investigate the meat situation
here with a view to bringing about
reduction in prices.
Complaints from housekeepers re-
garding high food prices continued to
flood the local administration. One OF
the protestants, a woman whose hus-
band is a war worker. characterized the
food situation here as intolerable.
