Inc overseas service OF the Ameri-
can Library association is in opera
ton. Although space is extremely
valuable aboard transports, they have
been provided with bookcases holding
collections of books which are used
as circulating Libraries on the way
over. The cases are emptied at port
of debarkatfon and the books sent to
the men In the field.
AS means Of further increasing the
supply of books among the overseas
forces, the association plans to have
each soldier carry a book In his kit.
to be put in circulation when he
reaches the other side.
Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture has set forth the
policy which he thinks should be fol-
lowed in highway construction during
the war:
$50 far as 1t is practicable to do so,
this department will urge the main
tenance of the highways already con-
structed; the construction and COM
pletion of those highways which are
vitality important because Of their
bearing upon the war situation or for
the movement of commodities; the
postponement of all highway construc-
ton relatively less essential or not
based upon important military or
economic needs. The department Is
preparing to suggest to the state high
way departments the preparation of a
schedule of work for the federal aid
projects for 1918 in line with this pol
ICY"
Road construction and maintenance
in the United States involve an annual
expenditure of about S3OO,OOOOO0.
The department of labor Is arrang-
ing to bring into the United States
10000 laborers for railroad and farm
work, from Porto Rico and the Virgin
islands, according to Louis F. Post,
assistant secretary of the department
of labor.
Mr.. Post declares there is no neces-
sity for importing common labor from
Mexico or China. Porto Rico is an
agricultural territory and yet has a
density of population exceeded by only
three states. A considerable surplus
of workers exists on the island. 1t
can furnish 100000 laborers and the
Virgin islands can send 10000 more.
Arrangements are being made to
bring over $4,000 men as soon as tom
mage is available.

A recent report made by the United
States consul in Tasmania, an island
state of Australia, includes the follow
ing:
"The general scheme for the repatri-
alton of returned soldiers contemplates
placing them upon the land. AT re-
cent conference between the common
wealth and the state authorities, ii
was decided that each state would
have to find the land. while the COM
monwealth government would advance
up to 50, 433 to improve the holding of
each returned soldier and to procure
the necessary stock and implements.
In this state 1t was deemed that the
crown lands would prove too difficult
to improve to attract returned SOL
diers, and 1t was decided to purchase
large estates and divide them up into
small farms and to use the money ad-
vanced by the commonwealth govern
ment for buildings, fences and tools.
The money expended by the state In
purchasing the land, as well as the
money advanced by the commonwealth
for improvements, is lien upon the
property and must be repaid in small
annual payments. 1t was also decided
by the commonwealth to advance
money to returned soldiers who may
desire to rent land. Bills will be in
troduced into the various parliaments
at once so that this scheme can be
put into operation throughout Aus
tralia."

If You Haven't Little 'De-Hydrator" in Your Home Gardening and Food Conservation, Will Get You Sure

Our system of demonstration is very complete" Mr Mobley said. For in- stance, we are requested to visit sec- tion of the country which is interested in alfalfa We go to the alfalfa fields. we make chart of the growth, cultiva- tion and perfection of the alfalfa. This chart is presented to an audience when in reality means that we take the alta fa field literally to the audience and by the chart explain every stage of the growth and development of the product. This obtains in any other line we are asned to specialize in.
 "The only reason that de-hydration has never come into it's own IS because it has never had any publicity like can ming and preserving" Mir. Mobley said. Tt is not a war measure, but fits ad- mirably into the requirements of the hour when food preparedness is one sor the most essential topics of the hour Any vegetable-carrots, parsnips. cab bage, spinach, beets, tomatoes, onions anthing can be de-hydrated with good effect. I consider no subject today of more vital importance than food conser- vation We talk constantly of conditions now brought about by the war, but ite is nothing now to what it will be within the year. if the war continues, and so it IS necessary for every one of us to conserveA and to make the best of everything that we have.
 MT. Mobley is an expert in his line he is not theoretical, but practical and sane; he is not an aIarmist about food and war influences nor is he sensational but he speaks from wide and varied ex- perience as a farmer, z man to whom the .back-to-the-farm" movement means nothing, since he's always been there.

Mr. Mobley said, q have shown the peo- pie here just how to build their own de- hydrators It is an inexpensive and sim pie arrangement and there is no reason why there shouldn't be one in every home. The arrangement is placed over the stove and as it can be raised or low cred, according to the requirements. Any sort of vegetable may be put in the plant and the drying process is used to some extent The vegetable when completely de-hydrated retains it's vitamfne, all though 1t looks as if it were dried. Take a tomato for instance, when it has been de-hydrated 1t still looks just as it dtd originally, although 8 little shriveled. The yolk of an egg may be preserved by de-hydrating it, retaining all it's sub stance, it's appearance, and it's flavor.

By DOLLY DALRYNpLE

M EFORE proceeding with this story TX with Mir IT. s. Mobley, who is here ~ to teach us gardening and food economical things. definition should be given concerning de-hydration.
 4 vegetable or fruit is said to be de- hydrated when the water naturally con tained therein has been completely re- moved Mere removal of moisture, how ever, does not entitle the product to be classed as de-hydrated, for a de-hydrated food product must have had the water removed in such a manner as to leave it's natural appearance, taste and flavor largely if not wholly intact.
 MT. Mobley says that de-hydration is not new. There's nothing modern about it; it's purely and simply an old, old mode of preserving vegetables and fruits without canning them; without changing their appearance, and without cooking them.
 Mr. Mobley, who knows more about such things than all the rest of US put together-came here with corps of as- sistants short time ago by request to share with us some of the vast knowl- edge he has gained and relate some of his personal experiences.
 There are people In Birmingham who have visited me at my home in Arkan- sas,'' MT. Mobley told me, and they can testify to the fact that on my farm I raise practically everything that goes on my table. The average family can take one acre of ground and by Judicious management live as well as anybody in the land. I said. mind you, an average family, in size and in appetite Of course, this doesn't mean luxurious liv- ing, but it means good, comfortable liv- ing.
