u. S. MUST ASSIST ALL
SOLDIERS ON FARMS
Government Must Legislate TO
Make Work Profitable.

You are no real friend of the SOL
der il you provide him with land
from which he cannot support HIM
self" said Charles A. Lyman, secre-
tary of the National Board of Farm
Organizations.
IF by juggling the market, by re-
establishment of speculation by legal
prosecution for those who organize
for the purpose Of getting cost of
production, you make it Improbable
for the trained farmer to live on the
farm. you cannot expect the soldier
to take the land you offer.
Land for the soldier is becoming
a watchword OF the politician said
Mr.. Lyman. Those who advocate
this policy should remember that the
returned soldier will not go on the
land to be a serf, a peasant or a
slave to the land. They must re-
member that the returned soldier
must make a living from the land.
ANY land program must have with
it a clear plan of organizing the in
dustrial industry of the country so
that the soldier can make a living
The soldier is no fool; he will go TO
the city If he cannot do So"

BY REDCROSS
29I, ,004, 900 Articles Pro-
duced by Women for
Soldiers Comfort.

How the women of America have
contributed toward making things
comfortable for Uncle Sans boys
overseas is told in report made
public by the War Council OF the
American Red Cross.
A total of 2s1.0o4.00o necessary
articles have been produced by
American women. These include
253,1s6,ooo surgical dressings. a.
0Ss.ooo knitted articles. 1,464ooo
refugee garments, and 2a,25b,0oo
hospital garments and supplies.
All of the articles produced were
made from raw materials valued at
$40, ,O00. 900 and when completed into
garments and neeessaries for the
soldiers and sailors the articlesswere
valued at s5s, 900. .00e.
These figures represent the work
done during the past year alone.
Every soldier Favored.
Practically every American soldier
those who were not so fortunate as
to get across have received some OF
these articles. sweaters, socks, muf-
fiers. helmets, wristlets, etc.
The work of the Red Cross is still
to go on. 1t Is the aim of the or
ganization to similarly supply allied
troops who will not be disba nded
for some time, soldiers who will re-
main in American training camps
during the coming winter. and thou
sands of impoverished refugees in
the war-stricken districts.

PEACE INCREASES USE
OF GASOLINE ABROAD
More Fuel Needed by U. S.
Motor Trucks.

The overseas demand for motor
transport grade of gasoline has in
crease rather than diminished since
the signing OF the armistice, II was
announced last night by the United
States Fuel Administration.
The motor transport grade and the
two aviation qualities are the chief
items in the overseas demands upon
American sources of supply. The avi-
stion demands are greatly decreased.
These overseas requirements, as well
as domestic needs, will have consid-
cradle bearing on any decision as to
whether il is desirable TO fix a stand
ard of quality for domestic motor
gasoline. The question of a domestic
standard has been under consideration
for some time.
The fixing of a domestic motor stan
dard will depend. it was stated. upon
the question Of ability to supply and
the consideration of price of all petro-
leum products, which would be direct
ly affected by an alteration of gaso-
line grades.
