1t Pays to Save the Manure.

Every ton of manure saved in good con-
dition is worth from So TO So. Some
thing more than half the value of manure
is in the liquid excrement, and in order to
save this he must see that his stalls are
well-bedded with some good absorbing
material Roberts has computed the value
OF the combined solid and liquid excreta
to be nearly one-half the cost of the feed.
In his calculation, the value is based en-
tirely upon its content of nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash. He did not take
into account the hurnus of which the ph.
sical and psychological effects upon the
soil are extremely important
The very best way to handle manure is
to apply it TO the field as fast as made.
This prevents fermentation and allows the
nitrogen and other elements leached from
the manure to pass directly into the soil
But on account of wet fields and other
difficulties this is not always practical dur
ing the winter season. Then comes the
question Of how best 10 preserve this valu-
able by-product of the farm. There are
at least two very good methods Of doing
this; ~ By leaving the manure packed air
tight in the stable, and (2) by means Of
covered manure pits.
The first, like the growing of black
berries, is done almost by the process Of
omission. 1t is only necessary TO keep the
moisture and bedding regulated and the
horse himself will do the rest There
should not be too much bedding and tho
moisture should be sufficient TO keep out
air and prevent fermentation. This is a
very good plan when the stalls are large
enough 10 hold the manure for consider.

Wheat Savings-They must have wheat 1t is the

alone can spare it to them BY saving just little
less than quarter of what we ate last year-we can
support those who are fighting our battles. And we
can do it without stnting ourselves We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of PIenty-Corn is that food There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour of need 1t has given us corn in such bounty
as was never known before. Tons of corn. Train
loads of corn. Five hundred million bushels and
above our regular needs All we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food-Cornl 1t is the true American
food. The Indians, hardest Of races, lived on it.

The manure pit is a necessity on any

RESTORING DISABLED SOLDIERS

Wonders are being worked in the recon-
struction of allied soldiers who have lost limbs
or have suffered loss of.function of muscles.
Thirty re-education courses have already been
approved and-others are being considered.
In specially constructed building of Toronto
hospital, limbs are being made in large numbers
for disabled Canadian soldiers.
This factory at the hospital is not only turning
out artificial limbs but training disabled soldiers
as limb makers One of these men has invented
a new type of artificial arm, little short of mir
aculous.
1t is controlled principally by the shoulder
muscles.
A small backward movement of the shoulder
closes the fingers and brings up the forearm;
forward movement lowers the arm and opens the
fingers. The new arm is equipped with Sun
day hand" that looks like hand, and, with
glove on it, cannot be distinguished as artificial;
for practical every day use, however, tool, or
tool holder is screwed on. In the hooks of which
this is composed anything from pin to a sledge
hammer can be firmly grasped and used.
Of course, only in the exceptional case are
such elaborate appliances necessary. The per-
centage of amputation cases to total injuries
is small and great many of these are leg am
putations.
Many times the stump of an arm is almost
as useful as whole arm.
Some of the men are being trained for indus
trial vocations, while others are instructed in
craftsmanship and Office work.
The organization which is being built up will
salvage more than 90 per cent of wars waste in
injured men, and put them back into industries
where they can compete equal terms with
men who have not suffered.

TO AID OUR CAPTIVE sEAMEN

To permit these non-combatants to suffer the

British and Canadian certfcated officers are
receiving from their Governments either 100
marks or SO marks per month according to rank
in order that they may pay the board and lodg-
ing and remain in the officers camps, while

came exhausted were dependent upon the Red

TO HELP SOLVE PROBLEM OF LABOR
SCARCITY


The Loyalty League to be formed here to-
morrow will constitute an important government
agency in meeting the acute situation which ex-
lists in many sections.
1t is stated that improper distribution of labor
is more responsible for conditions than actual
shortage Of men. The Loyalty League is inten-
ded TO solve some of the labor problems, operat-
ing as an arm of the United States employment
service.
The United States Government, through the
department of labor, has opened the United
States employment service for the purpose of
supplying skilled and unsked labor to essential
war Industries. Today it has 10000 labor re-
cruiting agents Of the United States public SER
vice reserve, end 500 branch offices--it covers
confronting the nation today is to create max
mum production Of ships food, munitions and
all materials necessary for our army at home
end overseas.
This means the right man for the right job
in every single unit Of activity or the part of the
industrial army Of the United States. The labor
turnover Stree our entry in the war has been en-
orrnous. 4 conservative estimate by authorities
shows t;i-t the entire production of the United
States ct.r 5@ increased Is per cent if this turn
ever is reduced TO a-mniraum Hence the nee
essity CT cn official government department to
operate with worllmen and employer alike to eff
feet nsaxiricm production.
The United States employment service is of
distinct benefit to the worker, no matter what
his particular work may be- 1t is his assurance
of being placed in the right work under stable
conditions. He does not have to gamble on lost
time and transportation and living costs as he
does under private employment systems.
Therefore this series of advertisements is the
best possible method by which an organization or
group of labor go publicly on record as an
evidence of protection to self and fitting record
of patriotism. Labor-the industrial army of
the nation--has gloriously done its part in the
war. 1t is making possible the success of our
military army, but as our army and navy are
being called upon for greater effort in this crisis,
so must the industrial army extend itself to
greater production in the support of the war.
BY reducing unnecessary labor shifting, i'm
proving living and working conditions, the Unit
ed States employment service will assist in bring
ing about this necessary maximum production.
1t is in immediate touch with labor conditions
in every part of the United States and is en-
deavoring to distribute labor intelligently and
sufficiently so that food and materials may be
had in sufficient quantity, and so that neither
farmer, manufacturer, nor worker need suffer
unnecessarily.
At the meeting tomorrow Hon. Cliff Williams
and Assistant Superintendent Jas. A. Metcalf
viii fully explain the object and purposes of the
employment service and will tell Pensacola en-
ployers and employees what cooperation is ex-
pected of them. The meeting is most important
and the attendance should be large.
