Burgomaster Retorts.

The Prussian town of Altwasser has
!, developed humorous burgomaster.
The Schwaebische Taswacht says:
'The burgomaster of Altwasser, who
has been flooded with anonymous let
tiers accusing him of falling in his duty
as regards the food supplies, has
caused reply to his accusers to be
posted at the town hall. 1t reAds !:
"T am blamed in letters for the
scarcity Of potatoes, for the heavy
rains and the consequent muddy state
of the streets, and for the unlawful
appropriation of food cards on the
part of many Inhabitants. Besides,
the writer's of these missives attack me
for providing my household with more
than am entitled to and for pocket
ing public funds as salary.
at invite some of these. pettifog-
ging spirits, who have no other re-
course than to besmirch the reputation
of their public officials, to come and
dine with me any Sunday.
"'They would regret not having
stayed at home to partake of the meat
with which they are no doubt provid-
ed, instead of the cabbage and turnips
which they would find representing
the joint on my table"

Animal "ShreW."

The word "shrew," as applied to an
animal, will probably puzzle good
many persons. There are two distinct
species, one called the common shrew
and the other the lesser or the pigmy
shrew. The common shrew, especially
numerous in Europe, is about the size
of mouse, and closely resembles 1t
in shape of body, feet and tail, but Its
muzzle protrudes far beyond the lip
and it's eyes are so small that they
are scarcely discernible through the
fur. The ears are wide and short and
the tail is four-sided. with the edges
or the angles rounded off.

FARM LABOR men ADOPT
new PLANS TO solve
HARVESTING PROBLEM

Birmingham, Ala, July 23.-Farm
help specialists from the southern
States, in the Department Of Agricul-
ture's harvest labor conference held
in Birmingham, adopted the following
as an outline of the campaign to be
waged until all of the South's big cot
tom and food crops have been gather
ed:
| Cooperation between farmers and
city people, to be brought about thru
coordination of all agencies furnish.
ing points of contact, with crop and
other agricultural programs to be
worked out as the combined result OF
community effort
Use of all feasible labor saving de.
vices and improved farm machinery
Intelligent direction and conserva
tiOn of labor to eliminate waste and
maintain highest efficiency.
Encouragement, SO far as possible
of the system Of farm management
SO as to keep labor employed profit
ably the whole year.
Provision for better living condi-
tions on farms to make workers more
efficient and better satisfied.
Cooperation in exchange of labor
and implements between farmers.
Recognition that the work of the
farm labor specialist is primarily an
extension effort and should be organ
lcally and intimately connected with
the agricultural extension service in
each state, so that other branches of
the extension service may be brought
into closer cooperation with farm la
Dor work.
The farm help specialists also
adopted a resolution urging the i'm
portance of stabilizing farm labor by
providing better houses and more
privileges for tenants and laborers
