8 UNION VETS
IN SWISS LAND

Basic, Dec. 26.-Here in Switzer-
land, $500 miles from the Gettysburg
and Bull Run Of half a century ago.
on the edge Of Germany. are three
Civil War veterans drawing pensions
from Uncle Sam.
One is 81 years old. He is Swiss
who went to the United States just
before the close Of the Civil War. He
enlisted on the Union side. The war
ended before he even smelled powder,
but he's pulling down $40 a month
from the United States treasury.
Another, of the same age, has been
bedridden for years. His descendants
keep him alive on milk and honey, for
that $40 goes long way when Swiss
peasants have 1t to spend.
The third fought on the Union side
and, after the war, went to live in
New Orleans, where he acquired a
modest fortune. He's been living hero
for years, and his most priced possess
sion is a picture of Jefferson Davis,
president of the Confederacy, which
he brought back from New Orleans.

red and the walls and roofs were hid
den behind masses Of flags. Club
windows were most monopolized by
men while the hotels and stores along
the way Were filled with pay parties
only less interesting than those on the
streets.
That such masses Of American flags
could be produced at such short no.
tice was a revelation of London's re-
sources and none appreciated them
more than the American soldiers and
biuejackets among the spectators.

(By Biddy Bye.)

When the thrifty and patriotic

substitutes with which to nso her
meatless family, though she may turn
sadly. away from the extravagant egg.
and YEARLY. away from the unexciting
vegetables, let her take fresh comfort

The United States Bureau of Fish
cries uses our present meatless condi-
ton. to bring to the attention of in
%telligent housewives our long and UNI
wise neglect of salt and smoked fish
as a food staple.
To freshen salt fish for cooking
"place them, flesh side down. in a
large volume of water and leave for

taste and size and thickness Of fish.
Change the water several times. Salt

the fish from the bottom of the on

sticks so that the whole surface is ex-
posed to the fresh water. Less fresh

In peace times the prce of the sulphate is about $50 to SOS per

The reason is that these things r largely used in the manufac-

TO REGISTER
WOMEN AVAILABLE
FOR FARM WORK

Washington. Jan. 3O.-National
of women available for
work on farms is planned by the de-
of labor as pne OF the adj
vance steps in a campaign to procure
a sufaciency Of farm labor for every
section Of the country during the
coming season.
A. L. Barkman. chief Of the divi-
sion OF farm service. announced last
night that every effort would be made
to meet the expected shortage OF
farm labor by a plan to mob lie the
available men and women in every
community in the country. Heavy
SHOWS in the middle west, he said,
should mean a large wheat crop and
if the favorable weather continued
one Of the biggest yields on record
may be expected.
A special farm service man will be
sta ioned in most of the ninety-four
federal employment agencies of the
country, Mr.. Barkman said, and. in
addition. %postofices in the small
farming communities will be used
as recruiting stations. the postmaster
or some other representative citizen
acting as community labor agent. -
1.-The most serious farm labor
shortage last year was in the east
said Mr.. 7Barkman. THE industries
there filing. war orders took men
who otherwise would have been avail
able for farm work. by the offer Of
attractive wages. The farmer will
have to increase wages much more
than they have to get men to come
from the cities. They have not raised
wages anywhere in proportion to
their increase in profits"
Women, Mr.. Barkman continued,
will be needed for truck gardening,
fruit gathering. dairying and other
light forms Of labor, but they will not
be called upon for the heavy work
so long as, men are available.
THE college girls and the: women
:of the leisure classes who are ready
to respond to a call tor workers as
a matter Of patriotic service" Mr..
Barkman said, must be depended
upon chiefly for the women labor that
will be needed"
