BOYS ASKED TO HELP
WITH THE HARVEST
Urged to Work on the Farms Until
All Crops Are Safely
Under Cover.

LYNDONVILLE, Sept. G.-R. G.
Reynolds, federal state director of the
{. s. Boys Working Reserve is dis
tributing letter addressed by the
national director, W f. Hall, to the
high school boys of the country and
their parents The letter follows
Ny dear Friends:
ssThe Il. s. Boys Working Reserve
is an organization that is endeayoring
to mobilize the high school youth of
this nation for productive work in this
time of national crisis, chiefly upon
the farms. Already the farms of the
country have been denuded of 80 per
cent of their hitherto available farm
hands They are about to be further
denuded. 1t is positively certain that
the farmers cannot harvest their crops
without the help of the members of the
Il. S Boys Working Reserve.
We are therefore apepaling to the
schools. to the boys, and to their par
ents to answer the government s call
and to permit the boys to 20 to the
farms in order that the harvests of tae
country may be garnered and saved
aud to feed our civilian population and
cur fighting men IN France
F'This release is thoroughly feasible
if the schools will awake, many OF
! them have awakened. TO the. neces
sity and will accommodate their organ
/ ization 10 it.
9 The IT, s. Boys Working Reserve
desires to assist III every possible way
in maintaining the education and train
ing of American youth. 1t is nsins
It's every cndeavor to protect Ameri
can youth. If the schools are alive t.
their opportunity in this crisis ii viii
be perfectly possible in the opinion
Of our highest authorities among tn
school men themselves. to do the worl
| that ii ordinarily done through nine
months period within the limits of /:
seven months period All that the Re
serve is asking of the boys and of thei
parents, and of the schools. is tina
they shall so adjust themselves TO tn
crisis that they will be able to accom-
plish within seven months what nov
they accomplish easily in nine months
ssIt is not necessary in this eountr
seriously to curtail the time ordinari
tly devoted to school work. 4ss j
Whatever call the Reserve make
upon, the school boys of the Unite
States has TO do with their vaeatio
periods 1t, asks the schools in som
instances to prolong a vacation periot
and in some instances it asks til
school work, TO waste no time i
order that work that is vitality nee
essarv to the winning of the war ma
be done. But it relies upon the pa
triotism of the boys TO return to sehot
with firm determination to devot
themselves eonseientiously to thei
school work, to waste no time
school hours and to make every m,
ment of their school session count
, accomplishing the course laid down fl
them by their teachers !"

but found that they had no definite pro-
gram. The object of the ministry of
food is to procure the cooperation of pri
vate hotels and restaurants which they
would like to have adopt their methods.
Although there has been some protest of
the entry of government into private
business, it does not appear likely that
this will amount to enough to check the
movement The other alternative Is that
the private establishments viii have to
meet the national restaurants in quality
of food and prices, and in this the food
ministry stands ready to lend them all
the encouragement and give them every
possible assistance. If this results, it
probably will be the greatest advantage
to be derived from this government nm
dertaking.
The food ministry. however, is going
ahead with the establishment of more
restaurants Immediately. The director
of national kitchens of the ministry OF

| definite arrangements to establish foul

impossible to say at present how far thi
undertaking viii extend. but it appear
TO have been inaugurated with very grea
success.
i This movement has resulted from tn
tendency of hotel and restaurant keeper
to fasten the burden of food regulation
on their customers. This has resulted j
a special emergency need for something
to be done to protect the interest of tn
