Aiding the Labor Supply.

The departments Of agriculture and
labor through representatives of the
various states cooperating with the
agricultural colleges and other agen-
cies are doing the following things to
aid the farm labor supply, according
to recent statement of Secretary
Houston: (a) Making survey Of the
farm-labor situation in each COM
munity with view to discovering
possible surpluses of labor in order to
be ready to assist in furnishing labor
wherever it is needed; (b) assisting
again in shifting labor from COM
munity to community and from state
to state, as in past years; (c) pro-
noting fuller cooperation among
farmers in the same community; (d)
making available, so far as possible,
high school boys in rural districts who
have had experience in farming and
who are not normally regularly or
fully employed in farming operations;
(e) making every effort to see that
there is no obstacle in the way Of the
production of larger supply Of farm
machinery and its fuller use as
supplement to hand labor.

OLD LANDMARK is PRESERVED
Historic General Schuyler Mansion at
Albany, N. ", Associated With
Revolutionary Times.

By the dedication of the General
Schuyler mansion at Albany, N. Y,
another Interesting landmark of retO-
lutiOnary days was permanently pre-
served from the devastating hand of
modern Improvement, notes CORE
spondent. The house is 1856 years old,
having been built in 1862. Its recent
dedication by Governor Whitman,
marked the one hundred and fortieth
anniversary of the surrender of Bur-
goyne at Saratoga. General Schuyler
took an active part in the campaign
against the invading British army from
the North, and, at Saratoga, he suf-
fered serious loss in the burning Of
the British of his country home and
mills. Notwithstanding this, he acted
the part of the chivalrous conquerOr a
few days later, when he entertained
General Burgoyne and his staff, in
cluding the Hessian general, Baron
Riedesel, and his wife, at his Albany
home, when, as prisoners Of war, they
stopped there on the way to Boston.
With the single exception of the IA
nous Washington headquarters at
Newburg, purchased by the state In
1S49, the Schuyler mansion is more
closely associated with revolutionary
times than any other of the historic
memorials purchased from time to time
by the state for preservation.

To Induce SIeep.

When trying to induce sleep 1t Is
well, observes an authority, to pat
away all serious thoughts and try to
get the mind into a pleasant, elevated
state. Some people make habit Of
reading before retiring. but too often
one reads on until eyes and head ache,
AS a result the following morning the
eyes are blOodshot and bulging from
the Overstrain and the individual has
lost the necessary amount of rest be-
cause of this enforced strain. 1t Is
most important that the ventilation of
the sleeping apartment be attended to /;
that there Is clear, fresh air circulat.
ing. Windows should be raised from
the bottom and lowered from the top
also, so that the air may circulate free
ly. The question Of whether II Is
healthy to sleep with pillow or with.
out one has been debated many times,
but a happy medium is recommended
as the most comfortable one.

process 1t was Of necessity, but as
nearly as he could Judge the bone was
knitting together and would be straight
and strong again If he did not try to
hurry it too much. He tried to keep
count OF the weeks as they passed.
When the days slid behind him until
he feared he could not remember he cut
a little notch on the window sill each
morning with Bucks knife, with every
seventh day longer and deeper notch
than the others to mark the weeks The
first three days had been so hazy that
he thought them only two and marked
them SO, but that put him only one day
out of his reckoning.
He lay there and saw snow slither
past his window, driven by a whooping
wind. 1t worried him to know that his
calves were unsheltered and unfed
while his long stack of hay stood un-
touched-unless the cattle broke down
his fence and reached it. He hoped
they would, but he was thorough
workman, and in his heart he knew
that fence would stand.
He saw cold rains and sleet. Then
there were days when he shivered un
der his blankets and would have given
much for cup of hot coffee; days
when the water froze in the pals be-
side the bed-what little water was
left-and he Clipped off pieces Of ice
and sucked them to quench his thirst.
Days when the tomatoes and peaches
were frozen In the cans so that he
chewed jerked venisOn and ate crackers
rather than chill his stomach with the
Icy stuff.
Day by day the little notches and the
longer ones reached farther and farther
along the window sill until Ward be-
gan to foresee the time when he must
start new row. Day by day his
cheek bones grew more clearly defined.
his eyes bigger and more wistful Day
by day his knuckles stood up sharper
when he closed his hands, and day by
day nature worked upon his hurt, knit
ting the bones together.

swho Cares II Bones Ache?r

Thousands of women in all parts of
the country are volunteering to help
out on farms that will be short of
man power this season. The letter
which follows is typical Of many
which are coming to the United
States department Of agriculture. De-
partment officials do not believe that
women will be required in the heavier
farming operations, but In the lighter
labor on fruit and truck farms and in
helping farm women with their tasks
there will be work for women hands.
IT want to inquire where I can vol
unteer my services in the agricultural
labor for my country's service. I
know this work is just as important
as fighting, and as was raised in the
country and can drive a horse and am
familiar with all the rounds of farm
life. I feel 1 would soon qualify. My
husband is now doing his bit aboard
a transport.

man fights on his stomach SO would

I would even enjoy helping raise some
American fat pigs to defeat them in
their designs.

me where I can enlist my services. I
remain. Very sincerely,
