labor by plants employing over 100
men will be diverted, effective Aug.
l, to the United States employment
service, and there will be restrictions
upon private advertising for labor.
At the same time the project will be
conducted with the least possible in
jury to labor az a whole.
Under the methods adopted the
country has been divided into 8 Fed
eral districts, each district in charge
of a superintendent of the Federal
employment service. The States
within each district are in turn in
charge of a State director, who has
full control of the service within his
State.
In each community there has been
formed local community labor
board, which has jurisdiction over
recruiting and distributing labor in
| its locality. These boards will, if
necessary, ask employers of non-war
workers to give up labor to meet the
needed requirements for war pur-
poses.
In order that each community may
be fully protected, rulings have been
issued that no labor shall be trans
ported out of any community by
the United States employment ser
vice without the approval of the
State director, nor shall any labor
be removed by the service from one
State to another without the ap-
prevail of the United States employ
ment service at Washington
While the restrictions against the
private employment of labor apply
only to common labor at the present
time, these restrictions will, as soon
skilled labor. In the meantime, re-
|cruiting of skilled labor for war pro-
duction will be subject to Federal
regulations now being prepared
While non-essential industries will
be drawn upon to supply the neces
sary labor for war work, the with
drawal will be conducted on an equi-
table basis in order to protect the
individual employer as much as pos
sible.
Farm labor will be protected for
the industrial program includes spe-
cial efforts to keep the farmer sup
piled with labor
This Federal labor program does
not at present apply in the following
five cases:
1. Labor which is not directly or
indirectly solicited.
?. Labor for the railroads.
8 Farm labor, to be recruited in
accordance with existing arrange
ments with Department of Agricul-
ture
f. Labor for non-war work.
5. Labor for establishments
whose maximum force does not ex-
ceed 100.

Friends Of Captain Sugar
tBy Emily Rose Burt.

Captain Sugar, of the American
Food Army, was suddenly called to
service overseas Most OF his family
were prisoners of the enemy in Ger
many and Austria and couldn't get
out to help in the world war, and he
knew how badly he was needed
abroad by the Allies and the people
in the war countries.
But all the same he did worry a
bit about the way things would go
in America in his absence. You see,
in civil life before the war, he'd
been in the Sweets" business. His
chief line was candy, with cake and
pudding branches.
Whatever" said he to his COM
manding officer. will the folks do
without me? They depend on me so.
I'm a family pet"
"You are was the reply. but
your duty is plain. You must go to
the aid of the Allies. Meanwhile we
must try to find substitutes to carry
on your business. Well look out for
such as aren't DWELL fitted for over
seas service and they can do their
bit at home. So, Captain Sugar,
you're not to orry."
Il shan't worry" said Captain
Sugar, but l have a personal bust
ness, and l fear folks won't want to
give their confidence to strangers. I"
Leave it to me-" replied his chief,
reassuringly.
We'll, since you're SO sure, just as
a favor, save a little corner for me
when / come home again." joked
Captain Sugar.
So he sailed across the sea and his
commanding officer who had had his
wits working busily, set about round
ing up helpers to carry on Captain
Sugars business.
One of the first chaps he thought
of for the job was Mr.. Corn.
Seems as if the ones that are
doing the most already arc always
the first ones asked to do something
EXTRA" said Mr.. Corn, with a cheer
full grin reaching from ear to ear.
1--WE been doing a lot of Colonel
Wheat's work since he's been in the
service. However, you may count on
me. Certainly it's up to me to be
patriotic, for I'm an American to my
very roots"
and what's the special stunt I'm
to do?"
Your job said the chief, will
be to form the Corn Strip Associa-
ton and take charge of a portion of
the Cake Frosting business, with the
Pudding Sweetening branch"
Good said Mr.. Corn, "I'n en-

He telegraphed-
To Maple Brothers,
Sugar Hill, Vermont:
Can you lend your services in the

The answer came back at once
To General Food Resources.

1t seemed a good idea 10 let the
Maple Brothers and Mr.. Corn join

Cake Frosting and Pudding Sweeten-

same line of work.
With Nh Corn and the Maple Bro

been made, bat he knew that he

by postplane he communicated with
the Busy Bee Company. They en-

wrote from Cloverfield, Ohio. She's

to make her an assistant in the Des-

job. She was full of splendid ideas

some good suggestions which were
used in the Candy Department. Miss
Molasses' Scotch kisses were divine.
so everybody said, and she and Peter
Popcorn came tc some kind of an un
derstanding which was looked on
kindly by the General and was i'm
mensely enjoyed by the children.
Of course everybody co-operated
in the Candy Department. Mr.. Corn
through his Strip Association, the
Maple Brothers through their Sirup
and Sugar Association, and Miss
Honey in countless ingenious ways of
her own.
But still more aid was needed, so
the General called for volunteers.
Then came forward Mr.. Prune, Mr..
Date, Mr.. Fig, Mr.. Nut, and all his
family, the pretty Fruit girls and
even old lady Observation-Disclosures
Ginger" the rest called her. Madame
Chocolate was director, and Mr.. Nut
made himself useful everywhere. He
and Mr.. Prune, Mr.. Date and Mr..
Fig often got together for the bene-
fit of the business.
So we'll did these candy volunteers
succeed that the keepers of all the
candy shops begged them to take
front seats in show windows, and
little girls and boys going by would
pull at their mothers sleeves and
say, please buy us some stuffed
dates or peanut balls" And every
young lady shopper with sweet
tooth would run into the candy shop
and buy nut and fig caramels, stuff
ed prunes or chocolate almonds.
