GETTING DOWN TO ESSENTIALS

To a certain extent the problem OF
getting %able-bodied men out of non
essential into essential occupations is
adjusting itself automatically. The
adjustment is not on a large enough
scale to make the new draft regula-
tons unnecessary, but it is going on
nevertheless. The reason is simple.
Highly essential trades, such as ship
building and the making of munitions
of wal have bigger salaries to offer
than any other kind of calling. They
attract, consequently, men from all
manner Of other professions. Taking
them as green hands, the war indus
tries train these men and multiply
many times their usefulness to the
country.
The periodical published by the
emergency fleet corporation has col
lected a number of instances Of how
this process is going on with relation
to the profession of riveting. This,
the most highly paid job in the ship
yards, appeals to most of the promis-
ing recruits. Men, it is said, who a
few months ago had to all practical
purposes never heard Of ship riveting
have dropped their old lines of work,
gone to the shipyards, donned overalls
and are now handling the "airgun"
with some skill. In one yard are
found policemen, clerks, physicians,
wrestlers, recent university graduates
and representatives of many other
pursuits, all buckling down to the
task Of building ships.
To a smaller extent the same thing
is taking place in food production.
This summer and fall thousands of
men from the cities will be found in
the wheat and corn fields, the stock
farms and the orchards of the coun-
try, some of them. it is true, because
of pressure from the new regulations,
but most because nearly every mar
feels nowadays that he ought to be
doing something really productive.

FAIRS AND THE WAR.

When the United States entered the
war in 1917, the impression went out
that many, in fact most of the agri-
cultural fairs and live stock EXPOSE
tions would be discontinued. The re-
suit has been just the opposite. Not
only have all the established fairs and
expositions continued as in the past,
but the majority Of them have expand
ed and are now conducted on much
larger and more comprehensive lines
than heretofore.
Fairs and expositions have multi
piled so rapidly that it is not feasible
to attempt to chronicle the actual
number now in the United States.
More than 5000 fairs, including state,
district and county, were conducted in
1917 and there are strong indications
that this number will be greatly in
creased this year.
Inu the face of the great far, this
wide achievement is phenomenal.
However, it is explained by three facts.
First, increased food production and
food conservation, as conducted by the
government, must be continued if the
war is to be carried to a victorious
conclusion. Fairs play an important
part in encouraging and stimulating
interest in these vital war activities.
Second, There must be some educa-
tional basis for arousing, developing
and holding interest in agricultural
and live stock and for showing graph
ically that greater efficiency is being
promoted and created in these vital
branches of farm industry. The edu-
cational value Of fairs in this respect
is inestimable.
Third, Proper entertainment and So
clay intercourse are not only essential
phases in education in normal times,
but becomes even more so in abnor-
NAL times. In order to keep fit, those
of US, who are Excepting the home fires
