WOMEN VOLUNTEER
TODD MEMS TASKS
Thousands Are Taking Places
of Male Workers Called
to C0I0rS.

Women by the thousands are re-
spending to the appeal of employers
to take the place of men entering the
Army and to fill new positions created
by industrial expansion, according to
the monthly review Of the Federal Re
serve Board.
From all parts of the country come
reports that women are helping-in
factories, offices, stores. warehouses,
street cars and on the farms, where
harvesting created an immense demand
for workers. The rate of increase of
womens employment now is much
greater than two months ago, and
some indications are that in a few
more months the number of women
entering industry will be greater than
the number of men Withdrawing for
military service.
How Money Is Expended.
The review as made public today
shows that women are spending more
of their new earnings for clothing.
Retail dealers in all cities where many
women recently have left their homes
to work elsewhere report booming
cies of economy and self-denial urged
by all government agencies as war
measure.
Owing to recent government super
vision of employment agencies. indus
tries now report much more stable Ia
Dor conditions, but continued de-
mand for more workers than can be
supplied. Many anticipated a short
age this month with the return to
school of thousands of teachers and
children who have. been working dur
ing the summer.
Tendency Among Manufacturers.
Eastern federal reserve banks re-
port a tendency is apparent among
manufacturers and distributors to
await full issuance of government
price regulations before determining
trade policies. Industries generally
are active and the less essential enter
prises are rapidly being curtailed or
converted into essential production.
Wholesalers now are beginning to
market materials for sale next spring,
at higher prices. and retailers show
some uncertainty as to how higher
prices will be taken by the public for
clothing and other articles. This
causes some hesitancy in certain lines.

cient transportation was provided.
Some started walking while others re-
manned awaiting the promised trans
portation. Those who walked were
the only ones who escaped"
Germans Uncertain.
The time fixed in the German gen.
eral orders for the retreat indicates
that It was not announced until after
the first attack at o'clock in the
morning. when a deep cash had al
ready been cut in the south side OF
the salient. 1t also indicates that the
German general staff was uncertain
where the first American offensive
would be launched and that after the
first hours success realized that 1t

the only things saved, and even q
large proportion Of these were left.
They attempted to burn everything
else, though immense quantities of
stores escaped destruction because
there was no time to set them on fire.
One entire company which started
retreating from st. Mihiel at o'clock
Thursday night, with orders to march
thirty kllometers eighteen miles),
found itself, after an all night hike, in
the hands of an American regiment
which had penetrated back Of them.
One of the artillery observers walked
all night and at daylight reached the
American lines nearer Germany than
he was when he started. One of our
cavalry troops entered a village and
captured two automobiles and three
ambulances, which had had no time

TAXED ON THEIR GIFTS.
Corporations Fail to Get Exemption
on War Work Contributions.

A provision intended for insertion
in the new war tax bill. which it was
expected would extend to corpora
lions the same status of exemption
from taxation on contributions to the
Red Cross. other war works and
charities as are now by law applied
to individuals, has not been included
in the draft Of the measure now be-
fore the House, because the ways
and means comkaiteee finally decided
not to do so.
Those in favor of such a provision
ycontended that the tax as 1t now
stands practically would make cor
poration contributions prohibitiVe.
There is a good deal of opinion in
favor of such a provision, and one
may be offered when the House takes
up the bill for amendment

Capture Plenty of Paint.

The most conspicuous relic of the
German sojourn is the abundance of
black and white paint with which the
nation supplies it's soldiers. The Ger
man army paints larger signs than
does any other army in the world.
There is not house, shed or post in
a village that is not disfgured by one
or more of these signs, the FREEDOM
| mating one being the word ''ver-
hoten" (forbidden). "F1iegen keller

was another sign frequently seen. 1t
usually indicated the number of men
which each house could accommo-

the largest letters showed the direc-

But wear soft white veil upon your head.
As fits sanity woman growing old.
Let me be carried from my cheerful home
Like sunshine out of sunshine. flowers from
Let maids in white and little children come
And cheer with tender songs your lonesome
So keep the light about you: death is light.
And life and power to pure and chastened
And death is only dark to doubt and sight
That has no vision from the world ABOVE.
There is death. it's but a sleep,
a quiet sleep to wake again,
From old conditions into new,
One step into higher plane.
A quiet journey from the old,
-, That transformation all pass through;
Thus life and death walk hand i'll hand,
From old conditions into new.

A Big Timber Deal

A big timber deal was closed
last week when Horace b. Paul
bought of Julian Newton the oak
trees on his farm, estimated to
cut 100000 feet. The deal was
made by Mr.. Paul personally and
he has contracted with A Il. Tar.
button to cut the same with his
saw mill, work commencing this
week. The cutting will probably
take about three months. The
timber will be sawed into car oak
dimensions, shipped to the Fris
co car department at Springfield
and sold through the Western
Tie 4 Timber Co. of st Louis,
repre- scented by Mr.. Paul. Other
tracts of timber may be pur
chased and handled in the same
way by Mr.. Paul, whose expert
ence in this line enables him to
big deals possible only
to a man who thoroughly under
stands the business
