HIGH SCHOOL
 BOYS REGISTER
 FOR SERVICE
An Account of Those Who Left Seattle to Work in the Canneries
 of the North.

Twenty boys of high school age left yesterday morning for Alaska on the steamship Aavalli for work in a fish cannery at Port Althrope sixty miles from Juneau in response to a call made on the United States Boys Working Reserve, under which boys of the Nation have registered for the purpose of helping the Ma ton in war work. The boys go north under Y. M. c. A. direction and in charge of Lloyd Henderson "a Princeton graduate with exper fence in boys work.
 Those in the group are Robert Berg, George Grotte, Alvin Mitchell, Merle Gregory, Ralph Benefiel, Ted Green, Harry Whitman, Leonard Downe, Paul Newton. Milton Ben son, William Ferguson, Albert Han jus, Max Freedman, Mark Schlosser, son, Harold Jensen, Roland Cornel Robert Pierce, Boyd Mclean, William McAdams, George Moore and Howard Bartell.
 Alaska Fisheries Need Help
 Other calls have come from Alas ka fisheries. asking for sixtyflTe more boys, thirty-five to go to Hoonah and thirty to Gambler Bay, in Southeastern Alaska, between Juneau and Ketchiakn.
 Boys Registered
 The United States Boys Working Reserve is registered army of pat riotic youths between the ages of IS and 21 years, organized under the United States Department of Labor to help the Nation where most needed in the winning of the war. Twenty thousand boys is this States apportionment. Enrolment is meet ing with ready response.
 A misunderstanding is apt to take place, says the State office, owing to the term working" being incor porated in the name, reserve. Any boy who maintains war garden, helps his father on the farm, gives his services to a patriotic organiza- ton like the Liberty Loan. Thrift Stamp, Red Cross, Food Administra- tion, or boy who applies himself to his school work in the spirit of pa triotic service by completing training so much earlier, is considered just as patriotic as the boy who works in industries, fruit lands, or il a wheat field at a stipulated salary The working" feature of the re- serve is to pledge every boy who enrolls to conscientiously plan with purpose all his time, Winter as well as Summer. to the end that there shall be no loafing, or lack of di- rection to the utilization of his ener- gy and power to help the Nation.
 Reserve Has Five Purposes
 The five purposes of the reserve responsibility in the face of the are: To present to the boys their present National and worldwide cris- is; to arouse a renewed. pure pa triotism and love for country; to fix the high ideals of youth for clean act. through inspiration and leader ship and thus set a moral stamnia for our youth for preparedness; to set before the boy in proper light, some of the social and industrial features facing the Nation; to har- ness the adolescent boy-power of the State for proper utilization of his energies and time, whether

THE HARVEST SEASON.

The HARVEST SEASON.
An ancient custom makes harvest a
festival occasion. Many peoples of
the Old World used to have celebra-
tons when the crops were safely gar
nered. They made offerings to the
heather gods, and had music. dancing
and games.
In these matter of fact days we have
not so much Imagination. About the
only harvest festival left is the coun-
ty cattle show. In theory at least
enterprise, rather than an expression
of popular joy.
To look at our phlegmatic faced
farmers, you would not know they
ever celebrated anything. Many of
them have acquired a certain pessi-
mistic turn of mind. Their barns
may be bursting. But if the crops
failed of their full fruition. they can
not Danish the feeling Of regret for
what might have been.
Yet the storing away in the gran
aries of a reasonably good crop is a
great triumph over all kinds of diff
,culties. The man who does it has
good cause for citation, and the COM
munity for feeling the festival spirit.
The husbandman has fixed his atten-
ton for many years on plant and seed
growth. He has acquired after long
effort a wealth of detail knowledge.
He has had to start from small begin
nings, acquire capital for buildings,
tools and machinery. He has strug-
gled with scarcity of labor, green, ig
norant and stupid help. He has had
to meet battling and uncertain wealth
er, and deal with horde of deadly in
sects.
Now after all this his seasons
work approaches completion. There
used to be an old dance jig called
1.-THE Jolly Farmer" Well may he
kick up his heels. These are times
of trial when it is hard to feel the fes-
tival spirit. Yet we may have many
things to be thankful for, among them
a good harvest. In a small way all
our people here in Trufant who have
worked so faithfully over their gar
dens, have reason to feel something
of this good cheer.

INCOME TAX DODGERS.

In spite of the great amounts col
lected under the income tax, il is
claimed by the commissioner of inter-
nal revenue that people who are dodg-
ing the law have cheated the govern
ment out of a billion dollars. That
this seems possible is suggested by
the small proportion of people who
made returns.
There are 100000 farmers in this
country, but only 1900 of them
made income tax returns under the
law of 1916. OF course the exemp-
tions were higher then, only $4,000
and $4,000. But with all the prosper
itt in the farming industry, it seems
inconceivable that only that small
number were liable to this tax.
Out of 235,00 manufacturers, only
$4,000 made returns. And so one can
are paying good money today and find
that the proportion who made state
ments was very small.
There are plenty of unprincipled
people who feel that they are safe in
ignoring the summons to come in and
show up their income. They may
keep no books of personal income and
they may think an internal revenue
officer would never get any definite
facts on which a court would convict
an offender for failure to make re-
turns. ~
The only way to get more COM
plete returns will be to impose severe
penalties on all who are caught dodg-
ing the law. When q man who is
liable to this tax fails to walk up and
pay it. he is doing low, mean, dis
honorable thing. He ought to be
made an example of. He is trying to
: sneak out Of debt which his more
patriotic neighbors have to pay and
the limit of the law is none too much
for him. When the slackers begin to
realize that this law has teeth, then
they will begin to walk up to the cap
tain's office and settle.

INCREASED CROP PRO-
DUCTION FOR 1919

David F. Huston, U. S. secretary
of agriculture, urges that steps be
taken to secure the better organiza-
ton of the agricultural forces of the
country, especially of the county and
community committees, in prepare
ton for the execution of the neces-
sary production program for 1919.
The fall planting program is com
pleted. Informal indications are that
the farmers planted this fall a consid-
erably larger acreage in winter wheat
than that of year ago, which was
42,170,000, the second largest planting
in the history of the Nation. A large
acreage of rye also has been planted.
1t is too early, the secretary said, to
forecast how these crops will come
thru the winter and what suggestion
should be made as to the spring wheat
rlg. 1t is also too ca
mulate and announce the details of
the general spring planting program.
Conditions are changing very rapid
ly and the necessary information is
not now at hand.

Food Administration ATangeS a New
Program, Which Is Brought About
By the Cessation Of Hos
tiIitieS In Europe.

Nashville-At the conferences OF
county food administrators and mem
bers of the staff of the federal food
administration of Tennessee, held II
Nashville last week, the new program
for the food administration areed upoI
with Mr.. Hoover at the Washington
conference was given out.
This program provides that during
the week beginning Nov. 20 the count!
food administrators will hold confer
ences with speakers and war workers
in their several counties for the puI-
pose of acquainting them with the new
program brought about as the result
of the cessation of hostilities. This
message, It is planned, will be COL
veyed to the general public during
world relief week to be universally OBJ
served in this country during the week
beginning Dec. l.
On Sunday, Dec. 1, a message from
Mr. Hoover will be read In every pull.
pit and Sunday school in the state.
These messages are being mailed out
direct from the federal food admins
tration to every Sunday school super
intendent and church pastor in the
the state. In addition large nun
Der of copies are going direct to the
county food administrators for distri
button.
During the following week this mes
sage will be read to every fraterna
organization, woman's club and com
mercial business club of the state.
In this same week it is also planned
to have public meetings under the di
rection of the county food administra
| tors so that the conservation message
can go directly to the people Of thu
homes. All of the women's clubs o
the state are asked to set apart Wed

servation service at which the obliga
ton of the United States to feed tn

will be set forth.

The school program will be under
the direction Of Prof Albert 8. VIII.
liaf1s, state high school inspector, who
is also the school representative of the
food administration of Tennessee. Prof.
williams has sent a letter to every
county and city superintendent In the
state asking cooperation in this impor.
tame work
At the conference here DR.. Morgan,
the federal food administrator Of Ten
nessee, stated that in view of changed
conditions brought about by the cessa-
ton OF hostilities there would neces-
sarily be some alterations in the food
program, but he made it plain that
there would be great suffering among
the liberated peoples of Europe unless
the people of America continued to
supply ever Increasing amounts OF es-
sential foodstuffs. Due to the increased
tonnage available for its tran3pOrta-
ton the sugar situation is greatly i'm.
proved and if the European nations
continue on their present meagre SUI
gar rations 1t will not be long before
the people of this country will be able
to obtain nearly their normal ration Of
sugar. In any event it. is not expected
to be less than four pounds per capita
per month, which will be the allow
ance beginning on December l.
Southern Hemisphere will again be
available, there will now be sufficient
wheat, IL used in moderation, for the
people of this country and Of Europe,
and hence there is no longer any ne
cessity for continuing the wheat sab
stitute program But there is a real
shortage OF animal and vegetable fats,
and the utmost economy must be prac-
ticed in the use of pork and fats. Thera
is likewise a scarcity Of protein stock
feeds and this in turn has caused a
tremendous shortage of dairy pro
ducts. The people will, therefore, haVe
to continue to economic in the use Of
all dairy products, butter, cheese and
milk. In Europe the herds have beer
sadly depleted and there is not suffi
cient fat for the little children. Only
by practicing economy will there be
sufficient supply of beef General con
servation along all lines, the elimina
ton Of waste and the practice of the
clean plate was earnestly urged by DR.
Morgan. He warned the members o
the conference that their tasks were
not yet complete, and that it would
probably be found that other changes
would have to be made in the program
during the course of the next two OF
three months. DR.. Morgan spoke o
the sacrifices made by the food admin
istrators, thanking them for what theI
had done to win the war,
This was the first conference OF al
