TO DISCUSS FARM
LABOR QUESTION.
Agricultural Society Is Holding
Important Meeting In Balti-
more For This Purpose.

For the purpose of increas sing Mary
lands horticultural and agricultural
products and also in an effort TO re-
lieve the farm labor situation. q con-
ference of horticulturists and agricul-
turists is being held in Baltimore at
the Hotel Emerson today. There will
be representatives from all parts OF
the country. The Bureau OF Labor and
the Department Of Agriculture will
also send delegates.
Maryland will be represented by
the committee elected for this pur-
pose by the Maryland Agricultural
Society. The members are as follows:
Orlando Harrison. of Berlin. chair
man; Thomas b. Symington, of Col
lege Park; J. Andrew Cohill. of Han
cock; DR.. A. +. Woods, of College
Park; D. c. Harry, of Pylesville; DR..
John r. Abercrombie and T. Murray
Maynadier, of Baltimore.
The thing of most importance dis
cussed was the farm labor question.
According to DR.. c. J. Owens, director
of the Southern Commercial Con-
gress, unless a solution for this prob
shortage in the production of crops in
Maryland Some of the farms in the
State are reported to be almost de-
pleted of laborers.
Just what will follow in the wake
of the congress cannot be forecast.
The object, however, is to form
plan of action for the entire nation.
Among other suggestions it is
thought that the elimination of I'M
necessary industries now using up
man power will be urged
For instance" said Mr. Magma
der, who is a member of the commit
tee, there is a great deal of unneces-
sary road building being done at
present and l think that it should be
cut out. There are many sawmills
about the country employing men
that could be used to more advant-
age on the farms and there are other
industries that can be. dispensed with.
One of the principal factors in bring
ing about the farm labor shortage is
the advertisements of war industries
that attract the young men TO the city
by means of fancy wages.
Il know for a certainty" he con-
tinued. that there are many young
fellows that were exempted from the
first draft on the plea that they were
skilled farm hands, who are now
working for large salaries in NUM-
tions plants

the Corcoran Court Canteen for Army
and Navy officers and clerks in Wash
ingtOn. They included Mrs. Albert
Niblack. wife of Rear Admiral Nib
lack; Mrs. Richard Wainwright; Mrs
SeatOn Schroeder, wife of Rear Ad-
miral Schroeder; and Mrs. Reginald
F. Nicholson, Rear Admiral Charles
O'Neil and Capt. f. J. Dorm. T. S. N,
were interested spectators also.
The big room occupied by the can
ten was provided by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels. who also provided heat
and light The canteen undertaking
was launched by a committee com
posed of wives of the heads of the
Navy Department bureaus. and the
caterer is running the canteen with the
agreement that a certain percentage
of the earnings shall go to the Dis
trict auxiliary of the Navy Relief So
ciety for the aid of widows and or
phans of officers and enlisted men in
the Navy. The prices at which food
is served are extremely reasonable
and the portions large. So far only
luncheon service has been provided.
We think it is an excellent way of
combining philanthropy and brother
hood" said Mrs. Richard Wainwright.
we are enabled to reach the clerks
who need such a place to eat and at
the same time to help the Naval Re-
lief Society, and do both on a bust
ness basis. If the luncheon proves
success, tea will be served later.

CLERKS
ADOPT $50 CHILDREN.
Charwomen Also Helping To
Take Care Of Fatherless
French Children.

One hundred and fifty children have
been adopted by clerks in two of the
government departments in Washing
ton, D. c. One of these children is be-
ing cared for by the charwomen of
the Agriculture Department.
The adoption of these children is in
response TO an appeal of the organi-
cation known as The Fatherless Chill
dren of France
According to Miss Harriet Winslow.
local treasurer of the organization,
one hundred children have been
adopted by clerks in the Department
of Agriculture, and workers in the De
partment of Comerce have taken fifty
children. At the Library of Congress
a number of the Library's workers
meet every two weeks to translate and
discuss the letters received from their
small beneficiaries. Thirty charwo-
men in the Department of Agriculture
have united to adopt and educate one
orphan Many American officers, both
here and on French soil have adopted
children through this organization
and are educating them
Statistics show that through the
Fatherless Children of France, sixty
thousand people in the United States
are now in personal contact with as
many French children and their fami-
lies. The infiuene of this work in
strengthening the morale of French
civilians and in deepening the affec-
ton between the American and French
people is staid to be inestimable.
Some gifts to these numerous chill
dren would clog the transports. all
help is in the form of money cabled
to each child in the name of the Amer
lean donor who has adopted him.
Under the reorganization of the
French executive committe, Marshal
Joffre is president, and NJ Lucien
Poincare, vice-president. Brieux. the
famous French playwright, has made
many speeches in behalf of the fund
in Paris.

EYE KEPT OPEN
FOR Willy SUBMARINE,

Keeping an eye open for the willy
submarine is no reason why sea sol
diors shouldn't get ready for life in
The trenches, according to Sergeant j.
G Woolley of the T. s Marine. who
has been given a few days leave from
hattleship
Part Of our deck looks like a little
bit of Flanders" says Wooley. We
have strung up six tough. willow
Boches with long center poles pro-
truding from each and operated from
the rear. We use these dummies for
bayonet practice. and FIVE days week
we go over the top If the time
comes for us to do our bit in the
trenches, we'll be ready"
