WESTERN CANADA
 WILL AID FARMERS

Winnipeg, Canada, December 7-The financial resources of western Canada are being placed at the disposal of farm CTS in the prairie eyewitness of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta, where grain farming will more than ever be the chief industry when the S0,000 soldiers of tho three provinces return from overseas.
 Mortgage companies and chartered banks never were more able to finance stable industries in this stretch of coun- try about s100,000,00o being available for immediate use through streh institutions. Besides the federal and provincial gov- ernments are making extensive plans for extending financial aid.
 The immense possibilities of the prai- ries as a food growing country have been carefully considered by government off, ficfals. Not only will vast tracts be made available to the soldiers on a home- Nstead baxis, but the federal snd pro- vincial governments will give financial assistance in equipping the new farms with proper machinery. Long term loans will be provided through rural credits systems
 Extension of manufactures, as well as agriculture, in western Canada is antici- pated. One of the first questions taken up by the inter-provincial conference, which has been in progress at Ottawa was the transfer of control of natural resources of the prairie provinces from federal to provincial governments. It is urged that the transfer for years an unsettled matter, would make it possible for individual provinces to develop min ing and other industries on their own initiative.

trenches to work for the Red Cross
 The answer came back that Mississippi was out of the trenches and Alabama had better hurry.
 Val J. Nesbit, associate director of the Alabama four-minute men and state chairman of the Red Cross speakers bu- reau. has issued the following appeal to the people of Alabama: Shall we ever let 1t be said that Alabama who has the habit of always doing more than the most that is asked of her, was beat CT in any race? I hear No that re- sounds to the farthest corner of our great state.
 'In the coming Christmas roll call. the very least that we can promise ourselves Is to beat our sister states Mississippi and Louisiana, and teach them that when they challenge Alabama to any kind of a contest they are arraying themselves against a state that does not know de feat, and has acquired the habit of go- ing lover the top and leading all com petitors-and does not purpose getting out of the habit.
 Every man, old or young. black or white every woman of any age, race or creed, everyone you meet in fact, is d prospective Red Cross member The war may be overrthe war service of the Bed Cross has only just come to its big gest tasks. It's a question of individua responsibility, I'm counting on you tg help me make that wire acceptance mean something, and I know we are going to win that contest, and right here I thank you for the part you will take in t.'

Examiner in Charge Farm Labor of U. s. Employ ment Office Has Va

hf
 Get wife and move on farm" is the advice given discharged soldiers by B. nE Samuels exansiner in charge of farm labor at the local office of the Uni. ted States employment service. During the last two weeks I have found farm homes for between sOJand A soldiers said MT. Samuels yesterday. "and I have homes for 11s. families now awaiting tenants. They range all the way from 25 acres to 800 acres. scattered over the state from the Tennessee val ley to the black belt, and everything from alfalfa and peanuts to cotton and corn will grow on then.ri
 MT. .Samuels spent twoR or three days of the past week in the coGhties nearby Birmingham interesting, farmers in the soldier-farmer movement and reports that he met with the greatest encourage rnent everywhere he went.
 .'The farmers are more prosperous than ever before" he said yesterday on his return to the city "In the little city of Oneonta I saw 5000 or 4000 bales of cotton in the warehouses and on the streets which the farmers are holding for better prices They seem to be in no hurry to sell and was told they have money, are out of debt, and can hold the cotton as long as they want to or until offered prices that they feel will Justify them in selling"
 Of the 11s farms, comprising an aggre- gate of M,570 acres which have been added to his list during the last week or 10 days, married men are wanted for practically every one of them. The own CTS say they prefer married men as ten- ants because they wilI>have somebody to keep house for them and will not be so likely to pull up and leave would single men,
 "A great many of the soldiers who have called at the office tell me that they are engaged-got engageds since they joined the army-and expect to- be mar. ried in short time. I gather ffom what they tell me that there will be a perfect epidemic of marriages as soon as the sol diers begin returning in considerable numbers, but it is an epidemic that I am sure the authorities will make no attempt to coptrol or prevent

New York. December 7.-More than 1375o0 acres of wheat were recovered from German occupied territory iE France by the British and French armies in the great offensive that ended the war. says the New York fed eral food, board. This is believed by the food officials to have materially contributed to the food crisis which helped to bring Germany to her knees. This wheat was harvested chiefly by the French. The work of nearly 17,003 men was required in the harvesting. The binding machines and threshings machines were supplied by the French office of agricultural reconstruction and when the harvesting was complet-' ed. the machines were sold at reduced prices to farmers or groups of fram.rs who had been victims of thE-War

Graduate Nurse Is
 Badly Needed at the Children's Hospital
Hospital Crowded With Sick Children and Members of Nursing Staff
 Stricken With Influenza

A serious situation has arisen at the Children's hospital because of the shortage of nurses and 1t was stated last night that it is absolutely neces- sary to secure at once the services of at least one graduate nurse.
 Three of the hospitals nurses have been stricken with influenza. There are at present 51 children in the institu- tion. Of this number of children IS have the influenza and 1 4 of this num- Der are from the Mercy home. The in fluenza cases are all> isolated in the annex.
 The demands upon the hospital in re- cent months have been very great. The nurses at the institution have given up their upstairs rooms, which are now filled with children. The nurses live in two large tents in the yard which " ere loaned by the Tennessee company, installed by F. M. Joy, and heated by Moore & Handley.
 As stated, there were 51 children in the hospital yesterday and the aver age number per day during October was s3. The expense has been very heavy and the fadies in charge feel that 1t is absolutelv essential to get a graduate nurse at once.x

4OOO COAL MINERS MAY BE GIVEN
 DISCHARGE HERE
Plans Under Way for De- mobilization to Take Place in State,
 Says Aldrich

The 40oo Birmingham district coal .miners now in the army may be demo- bilized in Alabama at an early date. In a letter received by T. H. Aldrich yesterday, the chief of the mining di- vision of the department of labor states that he has taken the matter up with the Alabama Coal Operators associa- tion and that if it is found to be prac- ticable to do so, the demobilization will take place in the state.
 Immediately after the armistice was signed and the war department an- nounced that demobilization of the plans could be worked out, Mir. Aldrich in a, letter to the war department, in which he urged the necessity of return- ing the Alabama coal miners to the district at the earliest possible mo- ment to relieve the shortage here, sus- gested that they be brought back to the-state and here discharged. He also urged that in order to relieve the acute labor situation in the coal district it was essential that the miners be res leased from the army as quickly as possible.
 The mining division chief stated in his letter that the matter of their de- mobilization fin Alabama had been talk en up with the United States employ ment service of the department of la- Dor and through this and the Alabama Coal Operators association and the war department it was hoped to reach satisfactory agreement in the mat ter.
 Approximately 40oo coal miners have gone from the Birmingham district into the army, and with their return the production figures are expected to reach normal again.

LABOR DEFIes
GERMAN AUTHORITY
Workers In Belgium and the Ukraine
Reported to Be Unwilling to Toll
for Occupants Of Their Lands

Labor is showing its power against
Germany both in Belgium and in the
Ukraine, according to reports that
have reached the Department of La
Dor Not all of these have been veri-
fed, but it is pretty certain that large
numbers of Belgian workmen have
refused point-blank to do any work
for the occupants of their nation, and
now similar word comes from the
Ukraine, where apparently a condi-
ton approaching the general strike
is existing.
The railroad men, 1t is reported,
have walked out by thousands at the
instance of agitaors, who call upon
the men TO refuse to work in order
that Germany may not ship food and
other supplies away from their own
country The strike organizers have
spent, II is said 100000 roubles In
antl.German propaganda.
The peasants are no better pleased
than the railroad workers by the
German occupation, and are reported
only awaiting a favorable opportuni-
~ for revolt.

they who have known the glory-and
the grieving,
Consummate purpose, firing heart and
brain,
Consuming anguish, toll beyond be-
lieving;
When they come back, and look you
In the face,
Fresh from the telling of an epic
story,
Crowned with the battles sanctify-
ing grace,
Bearing within their eyes a con-
quering glory;
How will you greet them? With
averted gaze,
Knowing too well how little OF the
guerdon,-
Fruit of their toll through horror
haunted days.
Belongs to you, who never bore the
burden;
Knowing too well how you have
strove and persisted,
You went your way, safe from all
fret and strife,
Denying not one little thing you cher
ished,
One petty luxury of pampered life;
KNOWN gtoo well how you have
shirked your task,
Denied the little that you had to
aid them;
What will you say when they come
back, and ask
Account from you, who hampere
and betrayed them?
Yours is the choice-acceptance Or
denial;
Yours to acknowledge or refuse the
debt;
After it all, when you are put to trial
When they come back, think you
they will forget?
