CITY PEOPLE
SIGN PLEDGES

Nine hundred experienced men were
placed in regular farm work in one
month this spring in Ohio, largely
through the efforts of the farm-help
specialists of the u. S. Department of
Agriculture. Records of similar ma
ture are being made in other States
where special efforts have been made
to bring about Gloss cooperation be-
tween the town and country. For
this purpose pledges are being Sc
cured in each town, city and village
from men who have had previous farm
experience, to devote a few days or
weeks of their time to harvet work
during the coming season if their
services should be needed. Farm-help
specialists in Kansas have secured
pledges of this kind from $4,000 city
residents who. have promised to de-
vote two to fifteen days of their time
TO harvest work this summer. SINH
lar results have been obtained in Indi-
ana, Illinois, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Ken
tucqy. Campaigns are either in ac-
tive progress or are being planned in
every State.

A CALL TO MEN
WHO CAN LEAD
A Summer School Course In
Leadership To Direct Com
rnunitv Service

A school for Chamber of Commerce
secretaries will be held from July Sth
to 18th, 1918. at Eagles Mere Park. Pa.
not very far from Williamsport. This
school is an outcome of the cent rapid
growth of the Chamber of Commerce
field and of the consequently acute
need for competent Chamber of Com
merce secretaries. The modern Cham
Der of Commerce has become a funda-
mental factor in the development of
the nation. Just now it is proving an
important means of organizing the
human resources of communities to
meet the issues that have been. Gre
ated by the war. Now, as never be-
fore, it is necessary that cities should
have strongly organized and efficient
leadership to direct Liberty Loan, Red
Cross, Y. NJ. c. A, War Camp Com
munity Service, Food Conservation,
and other campaigns, to deal with
housing problems, to conduct Ameri-
caniZation work, to cooperate with
the various government departments.
Chambers of Commerce have provided
just the organized leadership needed
to bring all the forces of the nation to
bear on these issues.
Before the war started. Chambers of
Commerce had already become vitality
important factors in community de-
yelopment. The need had been demon
strated for organized effort by all of
the community leaders in city to
bring TO the city advantages that none
of them individually could secure. The
need for these peace-time activities
still exists, for the development of our
cities must continue. The scope of &C
tivity of a modern Chamber of Com
cerce is as broad as the life of the
community itself.
The right sort of men are needed
and badly needed-to direct the activi-
ties of such organizations. Men are
being recruited for this work from
many different fields of activity.
Among those who have made good as
Chamber of Commerce secretaries are
former ministers, teachers, editors, Y.
NJ. G. A. secretaries, lawyers and 9TH
ers. A peculiar combination of abili-
ties is needed. Breadth of vision and
the power to lead are, however, the
predominant requisites.
The American City Bureau Summer
School is being conducted for the pur-
pose of discovering and developing
men who have the necessary qualities
latent in them. 1t is not school for
youngsters, it is a school for mature
men-men who have the capacity to
grasp big ideas quickly The school
is not a money-making institution
The principal work of the American
City Bureau is organizing Chambers
of Commerce This Bureaus success
is dependent mainly upon its ability
to find men who can make good as
Chamber of Commerce secretaries
and as community organizers. The
school is conducted to help accom-
plish this result.
The American City Bureau has pub
lished a pamphlet entitled "A Call to
Men Who Can Lead" which tells more
about the school, copy of which will
be sent on request. The address is

This production deals with the most
dramatic and romantic incident in
American history the famous feud
between Aaron Burr, Senator from
New York and presidential candidate.
and Alexander Hamilton, Secretary
of the U. S. Treasury and one of the
most brilliant statesmen of early
American life 1t is all historically
true and that is one of the great rea-
sons for the tremendous interest
which has been aroused in the pro-
duction 1t is not only true, but 1t Is
human. romantic, intensely dramatic
and also entertaining and vitality in
teresting.
Carlyle Blackwell appears in the
role of Alexander Hamilton, whose
one discreticn-nis intimacy with
the beautiful Mrs. Reynolds-led TO
such tragic results. June Elvidge is
cast in the role of Mrs. Reynolds,
who no matter what else may be
said about her, loved Hamilton deep
ly and mourned his untimely death
sincerely Evelyn Greeley is cast in
the role of Margaret Moncrieffe. the
unwilling and innocent cause of it all,
and Arthur Ashley is seen in the
character OF Aaron Burr

ARE YOU GUARDING
YOUR CHILD'S EYES?
Bureau Warns Parents That De
fective Vision Is Often Due
To Ignorance

One of the good effects that is ex-
pected to result from the baby weigh
ing and measuring campaign that is
Harrington and Miss Sara V. Suther-
land, local chairman and Visiting
Nurse, respectively, of Children's We'll
fare, is that it will make parents real
ize how carefully they should guard
their children's eyes.
Wide publicity is being given by a
bulletin issued by the Children's Blu
reau in Washington and written by
Mrs. NJ West, entitled THE Nations
Eyes" Mrs West writes:
What of our children's eyes Re-
cent Investigations into condition OF
American school children reveal that
about one-fifth go per cent? are
Handicapped by defective vision, and
in a considerable number of cases the
defects are serious. How gravely this
affects national welfare is demonstrate
ed by the findings in the recent ex-
animation of recruits for the National
Army More than 100000 men called
in the first draft were rejected for
physical disqualification. OF the TO-
900 cases which were analysed in de-
tail, more than one-fifth have been
rejected for defects of the eye.
This simple cause was responsible
for twice as many reflections as the
next highest cause; that is, defects of
the teeth, and for three and four
times as many as most of the other
defects. 1t is, therefore, plain that
American parents should take much
more anxious thought as to the condi-
ton of their children's eyes during the
years when the harm is most likely to
be done and when trouble cannot
readily be corrected or cured.
1.-THE first essential is to insure the
soundest possible health at birth
This depends upon the health and diet
of the mother before the baby is born.
Proper food and care for the baby
throughout infancy and childhood,
when the structure of the body is
growing at rapid rate, are necessary.
Impure or insufficient food, neglect
or illness, are among the causes
which interfere with growth and
healthy development of the body in
every part, and effect the growing
eyes in the same way. But even when
