Finding Help for Harvest.

Kansas answered the call for in
creased food production. Kansas plant
ed more wheat. Kansas knew, OF
course. that a tremendous amount of
man power would be required to har-
vest that crop. But Kansas wasn't dis
mayed. Uncle Sam called for more
wheat. Kansas planted more wheat.
Kansas knew that wheat would be har-
vested and that people in the towns
and cities would go to the fields to
help do It'll
And that is precisely how it is being
harvested-by people from the towns
and cities of Kansas. A literal exc
dus of all the urban people hasn't been
necessary, of course. But all that were
needed went-and more were ready If
needed.
The statewide campaign for town
volunteers for farm labor service dur
ing the harvest was launched at Kan
sas City conference the latter part OF
May. Representatives of the United
States department of agriculture re-
minded all the cooperating agencies
at that conference of the policy that
department has been urging since the
beginning of the war-the use of town
man power for local farm labor needs
during seasonal emergencies

TRAIN FOR HARD WORK

Is there a physical training
class in your town?
If not, this is a good time to
start one-a physical training
class to harden the soft muscles
of town and city men, so they
can go to farms and do effective
work during emergency needs
for farm labor in their counties
and communities.
Kansas City started a s1oyal
physical fitness class" some
weeks before the time for the
wheat harvest The idea spread
ell over the state. In many
towns and cities similar classes
were organized; and men made
themselves fit for the hard work
they were to undertake in the
fields as volunteer harvest work
ers. The Kansas wheat crop
couldn't have been harvested If
thousands of patriotic men from
the towns and cities had not
volunteered to save this crop
that will help feed the fighters
at the front. And a great many
of these men couldn't have work
ed as effectively, and some of
them would have been forced to
drop out altogether, if they had
not been prepared for the physi-
cal strain by preliminary train
ing.
Uncle Sam needs the help of
every loyal American citizen.
Either work or f1ghtl You can't
do your best work, either at
your present job or at any other
job, or in the fields temporarily
as a farm volunteer, unless you
are physically fit.
A few weeks work in a physi-
cal training class will harden"
you surprisingly. Start a class
in your town. Be ready to go to
work effectively, be able really
to accomplish something in the
fields when the call comes for
patriotic town men to do emer-
gency farm work in your section.
An open Space-the courthouse
square or a vacant lot or a big
back yard-a leader who knows
the army setting up" or other
movements and exercises

men of your town-these are all

Smart millinery shops in London are
metal helmets for women,
presumably for wear during air raids !;
though it is a question whether the
fair wearer of protective helmet
would not flee to a bombproof refuge
just as swiftly as her sister whose
headgear was fashioned of straw and
silk The metal helmets for women
cost just about twice as much as those
designed for the masculine sex. They
are lined with dainty and soft mate
rial. and on top is a cunning knob
which gives rakish and distinctive
line to the stern headsear.

Logic. having lodged itself in the
mind of modern woman. makes it easy
to explain why she finds so many good
reasons for taking to trousers. She
still walks in skirts, but she rides,
swims, hunts, keeps bees, gardens
and farms in boomers or over
alls or breeches. But there is no
logic that explains her taking to pa
jamas for sleeping garments or to
replace other negligees, unless it is
that she has discovered them to be
most becoming.
Anyway, the fact stands that In
every representative collection of lin
gerie pajamas, in two-piece and one
piece styles, have as prominent repre-
sentation as night dresses and neglf-
gees Also there are about as many
garments made of wash satin. crepe

are of fine cotton. The heavier cotton

Producers Find Experiment So
Satisfactory That They Will
Extend Service.
QUICK DELIVERY IS RESULT
Fruits, Vegetables and Other Products
in Season to Be Carried-Mer-
chandise Is Hauled by Trucks
on Return Trips.

Last year producers of eggs near
Vineland and MillviIle, New Jersey,
had difficulties getting their eggs to
dealers in New York City. This year,
however, they travel direct by motor
truck to the dealers doors and arrive
in less tirne and with less loss from
breakage than in other seasons.
This community of producers has
found the results of their experiment
OF shipping eggs by motor truck SO
successful that they are planning to
extend their efforts to cover fruits and
vegetables, poultry, and other products
in season.
Eggs by Motor Truck.
Following a season in which trans
portation troubles made shipments to
New York City unsatisfactory the
farmers sought assistance from the
bureau of markets Of the United States
department of agriculture, and spe-
cialists on motor-truck marketing made
a survey of the situation. This was
followed by a group of producers agree
Ing to ship their eggs by motor truck
and to bring the cases to designated
places along the route the truck was
ito cover. A large commercial motor
truck company, operating fleet of
trucks between New York and Phila-
deiphia, was interested and agreed to
make a detour on their trips to New
York, to which city their trucks had
often travelled without being loaded,
to take In Vineland and Millville Lo-
cal farmers and merchants in these
two towns agreed to give their hauling
business from Philadelphia to the truck
company and thus insure a full load
for the trucks all the way from Phila-
deIphia to New York.
Capacity of Trucks.
The trucks have capacity of about
five tons, and can take 2G0 crates of
eggs. On the first trip only $50 cases
were ready at the roadside and the bal
ance of the load was made up of Grated
glass from Vineland and AIillville. This
first load went the 40 miles In the
record time of Is hours with not an
egg broken on the way. The truck
went across on the ferry boat from the
New Jersey shore, and the eggs were
delivered on the sidewalks in front
of the wholesale houses On the re-
turn trip the truck hauled merchandise
from New York direct to Philadelphia.
Some of the dealers in New York
City are offering premium of from
one-half to one and one-half cents a
dozen for eggs shipped by motor
truck from vineland and MiIlville, be-
cause the eggs arrive in better condi-
tion and in quicker time than when
shipped by rail This premium alone
more than covers the difference in cost
of shipping by motor truck and by rail.
and, in addition to the time saved. the
motor-truck service is more dependable
and gives better delivery. The eggs.
as yet, are not pooled, but consist of
individual shipments to a number of
dealers.
