Uncle Sam Great Advertiser.

The GdlrcsfDn NeTs speaks right
out in meetin'." without the fear of
contradiction. or anything else. as fol-
lows:
If Uncle Sam We're paying for all
the pictures Of his boys which the
newspapers are printing he would have
to dig down into his striped jeans as
far as the knee. Probably, however,
there are lots of folks who imagine the
newspapers are making money out of
the war. Well. they are not = dis
tinctly are not. Uncle Sam is paying
the printers practically nothing. but
they are nevertheless cheerfully giving
him and his multifarious business af-
fairs entire columns and pages of pull
licity. 1t is frequently remarked these
days that I. Sam is the biggest bust
ness man in the world, and so lie is.
He OWNS hundreds of ships. thousands
of miles of railroads, about all the tel
egraphs. grist mills and grocery stores.
If he doesn't own them outright, he at
least runs them to the extent that he
tells them where to get off and head in.
Naturally it would be assumed that a
person with such vast enterprises in
hand would be great advertiser. And
I. Sam is ii great advertiser He has
to make announcements almost hourly
through the press III order to get them
to the people-hut lie doesn't pay adj
vertiSing rates. He doesn't pay any
rate. OF anything. He gets what he
wants from the newspapers, he gets it
free. and he gets it p. do

of the Federal officer taking custody Of

Plan to Mobilize Labor.

1t is the Employment service which
is now seeking to obtain the cessation
of the activities Of private labor agents
in the South. Southern farmers. par
ticularly those in Tennessee, Georgia.
Florida. Alabama and Mississippi, have
feen severe sufferers at the hands of
these agents, and time and again the
Employment Service has interviewed.
1t is the Department of Labor which
is seeking from the Railroad Admins
tration half fares for farm workers re-
cruited and distributed through the
Employment Service.
Through the Employment Service the
multiplicity of efforts to aid farmers,
which often are highly confusing, are
being co-ordinated. so that any appli-
cation for help will reach the Govern
ment's entire labor recruiting and
placing machinery.
Through the efforts of commercial
organizations. many towns and cities
III the West are seeing to it that farm
erS of the surrounding country will be
given all the community labor availa-
bic during the harvest. Tens of thou
sands of such community workers this
year will supplement the mobile army
of harvest hands which the United
States Employment Service is organic
| ing. Many commercial organizations
| ascertain the approximate number OF
| days of work required for the harvest
and enroll part-time workers. whose
| pledges of service days equal the total
| School boys. store employees. bust
ness and professional men. and all
other potential emergency harvest
workers are being modified for work
as they are needed. The machinery OF
the United States Employment Service
frequently is invoked to facilitate ell
rolling and to bring the farmers and
the community workers together.
