EASY MONEY

Hand County has Just marketed the
largest crop and at the highest prices
in her history OF ~thirty-Hve years. The
deposits in the county banks have
reached an unprecedented total. Near
ly every enc has money to invest.
When a prudent man has more money
than necessary for running his bust
ness, he looks for an investment.
What form OF investment is prefer
able to the average man? Many forms
Of easy money are being offered to the
public today. Promotion schemes Of
various kinds are received In nearly
every mail. Most OF them promise
immense returns upon little capital
invested and no work. Alluring stor-
les are cleverly recounted of how GER
tain men. always giving name and adj
dress, have become fabulously rich in
a few months by investing In this or
that particular stock.
Few OF MS are qualified by training
or experience to Investigate the merits
OF these various forms OF investment,
OF distinguish between the legitimate
business and the wildcat scheme.
The history of business shows that the
new concern must pass through a long
period of no profits before it becomes
a paying investment Where then can
we safely invest our surplus money?
Land is the answer. All Of US liv-
ing here in Hand county are qualified
to Judge upon an investment In farm
land. We know the business and can
become experts in judging values, II
we care to. No alluring prospectus
is needed to attract our eye. We need
take no mans promise for the future.
We know what it is. because we nave
seen II in every county and every state
east of us during the past twenty-five
years.
Farm land is the one and only true
form OF easy money. II the people Of
Hand county wish to be sure, let them
place their money where they can see
IL grow in value, where no man car
take 1t away from them, where 1t is
cartain IN return n larger average d.
vidend over a course Of years than
any other investment in the world.
II is within the power of every man
Of twenty-one years in this county to
own a farm during the next year. The
motto OF every prudent man should be
.Buy Land and Buy It Now Cali up
on or write US at Miller aud we will
show you how 1t can be done Your

have not been officially approved by
the Council of National Defense but
nevertheless are listed as having been
examined and approved as to their
objects and management by the Char
ity Organization of New York, to

tt is obvious that these organiza-
tons vary enormously in their value
and that the public has no means of
Judging this variation the councils
letter says. There have been local
plans for counteracting the present
unsatisfactory system of promiscuous
mination to hit upon some plan for d
reasonable, uniform, and scientific
method of managing war appeals.
The letter of the council ends:
This council believes that the sit
uation to be extremely serious and
suggests the following outline of
plan as q possible remedy thereof:
Il. There shall be a supervising
commission which shall prepare and
publish list of auxiliary war agen-
Cies entitled to national support. They
will state that the sums asked are
prOportionate to the work accom-
plished, guarantee against duplica-
ton of effort, and show administra-
tive reliabi This would involve a,
survey of the agencies and doubtless
the coordination of some and elm
ination of others. The commission
would also determine plan for APP
portionng quotas. such quotas to be
based upon itemized budgets, as
measure against over-subscription.
This council further believes that
the only body whose authority and in
fuence are sufficient to carry out the
foregoing or some similar scheme is
the Council of National Defense, and
respectfully urges upon that body the
earnest consideration of the situa~
ton herein outlined and of the sug~
gested remedy contained"

ENGLISH WOMEN WORK
FOR $40 PER WEEK
Thousand Employed in Shell Factories
Turn Out Messages of Death
For Germans.

Manchester England, June II.
Press. 1.-The women of England are
making the shells with which the
British army is beating back the
enemy, and are doing the work at
average pay equivalent to $40 week.
The managing director Of a big ma
val construction works here is unable
to employ domestic servants because
all the women formerly employed as
servants have gone to work in she'll
factories
When the factory men were called
to the cOlors, women quietly stepped
into their places. The vast majority of
the women had neither skill nor train
ing in munitions work, but the factory
engineers by installing what is known
as single process machines made it
possible for the women to do the
complicated work that previously only
skilled men had been able TO accom-
plish.
In a week or ten days a woman
learns how to operate a single process
machine. She does her work efficiently
and faithfully. Recently in one fac
tory the women made 81 900 4.5 inch
shells in eighteen weeks and not a
flaw could be found in any shell.
Many of the women workers before
the war were operatives in plants for
textile manufacture, the chief industry
in this region. In peace time their
wages averaged about the equivalent
OF five dollars a week. Now the aver
age is we'll over ten dollars and, in
exceptional cases, fifteen and more.
In some factories the women work
three shifts of eight hours each, TO
tating each week. Their employees
say that they are not affected by the
strain of nj g11t work. A large number
of the women are doing the hardest
kind Of manual work
Piece work is the system used in
most of the shell factories, and the
managers say that the introduction of
piece work increaed the output to an
amazing degree.
"Women," one of the managers
commented. ARE more competitive
than the men workers. Men will work
UP to a certain point and stop, either
because they are Indifferent and easily
satisfied with the amount of their
earnings or because their mates would
protest. On the other hand. women
do not seem to care what their mates
think or say. Each is out for her
self
He pointed TO a machine where a
gilr was working at a great rate of
speed THAT young woman" he went
on, doubtless wants a new ribbon for
her hair, and she is going to make the
shop pay for it."
The minimum wage paid to women
in shell factories where the piecework
system is in effect is about $3.50 a
week, but unless a girl proves herself
capable Of making at least 50 a week
she is not regarded as 8, good worker
i is not uncommon for q particularly
intelligent and energetic woman TO
draw each week from $t7 to $50.

CENTRAL CLUB FOR NURSES
CONSTANTLY OPEN TO THEM

The Central Club for Nurses in
New York city has filled a decidedly
happy place in the lives of those
nurses who are giving their services
to their country and mobilizing III
that city.
The club does everything in it's
power to provide q social center for
nurses, and wants head nurses of
units and everyone else in position
to do so to inform all nurses that
they are welcome at the club house.

worth to the Straits settlements and
the Dutch East Indies, from which we
drew most of the tin used in manufac-
turing the tinplate.
The growth in word production of
aluminium, which has been suggested
as a possible substitute for tin in Ger
tain lines, has been much more rapid
in recent years than that of tin. Tin
production of the world grew from
1920 tons in 1900 to 117,5O0 tons in
1915, while aluminium production grew
from 1900 tons in 1900 to $4,000
tons in 1916; and what is even more
important to us of the United States
is the fact that more than half Of the
worlds aluminium is produced in this
country, while, as above indicated, we
are entirely dependent upon foreign
countries for tin.

PLANNING To Merge
VARIOUS CAMPAIGNS
Government Supervision Of War
Fund Drives Is Recommended

Hartford, Aug. 2.-Strong recon-
mendations that all solicitation of
FUNDS for organizations engaged in
auxiliary war work to be put under
careful Government supervision, and
that as many of the drives and cam
paigns as possible be merged, have
= Been made to the Federal Govern
ment by the Connecticut State CouH-
ell of Defense. Letters containing the
state councils suggestions were
mailed some days ago, and since
then announcement has been made
public in Washington that the sew
eral organization under the Fosdick
Commission art consid ering the posi-
bility of q merger for the purpose of
solicitation of funds.
The letter of the State Council of
Defense points out the existence of
approximately 100 organizations en-
gagged in auxiliary war work, all de-
handing financial contributions, and
Says that the situation calls for Off
cial backing. With this statement is
the recommendation that a supervis-
ing commission be named. The
Council points out it's belief that the
only body whose authority and infiu-
ence are sufficient to carry out the
National Defense, of which the Sec
rotary of War is Chairman Copies
of the councils letter and suggestions
were sent to members of the cabinet,
to the Director of the Council of Ma
tional Defense and to the State Coun-
ellis of Defense of all other states in
the country.
The councils letter contains the
striking statement that the six or
carnations under the F'osdicl< Com
mission alone plan, between Septem-
Der and January, to ask the people or
this country for more than $500, 000,-
600. During this same period, anoth-
or Liberty Loan of perhaps $8,000,
100000 is expected and an intensive
Red Cross membership drive will be
held GAS q consequence of these
facts" says the councils letter, we
fear feeling of dissatisfaction is be-
ing engendered which may eventually
interfere with the success of future
endeavors to raise the funds neces-
sary for conducting most important
and essential activities The coun-.
Gil feels that there should be greater
frankness in announcing the needs
and plans of agencies soliciting sup
port, and that the public should have
some definite guide as to the relative
Importance of the appeals and
knowledge of the administration of
such enormous sums. The Council Of
National Defense, therefore, is urged
to appoint a commission to furnish
both so that this feeling will not
eventually interfere with the success
OF future endeavors Of great import
ance.

York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road, of Stockbridgc, has filed in the
Berkshire probate court a petition
asking for Il decree of separation on
the ground of desertion from his wife,
Katherine Lloyd Livingston Mellen,
now of New York.
This is the second chapter of revela-
tons in the domestic affairs of Mr..
and Mrs. Mellen, which became pub
lie Nov cmber %, 1917, when papers
were served on Mrs. Mellen, who was
dining in the Vanderbilt hotel, New
York, in action for 100000 dam
ages for the alleged alienation of the
affections of Harry Douglas Brown,
one of the assistant managers of the
Vanderbilt hotel, from his wife, Mar
garet &. Brown, by Mrs. MeIlen.
It was stated at that time that more
than a year ago MI and Mrs. Brown
signed a separation agreement in
which the wife promised not 10 "com-
muniCate with, modest, annoy or dis
turb him" in any manner.
Mrs Brown alleged in her complaint
that Mrs. Mellen was responsible for
the destruction of Mrs. Browns homo
life, the loss of her husbands affcc-
tons ard the separation that event
ually resulted. 1t was further set forth
in the complaint that Immediately af-
ter Mr.. and Mrs Brown We're married
