WORKMEN Tire
OF DRY TOWN
LEAVE DETROIT

The advent of warmer weather has
increased the amount of grumbling
among the workmen in Ohio and
Michigan, according to a dispatch
from Columbus to the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
The principal complaint at this time
is directed against the beer which is
being furnished. The percentage of
2 ga per cent. which was establish
ed by the presidential decree is not
satisfying to those who have long
consumed the product. There are
loud calls for the manufacture of 1917.
While the grumblings of the anti
prohibitionists oyer the 'kickless''
beer have been heard throughout the
land, rumors of another sort cdme to
Ohio from Michigan. If reports are
true, it is with genuine alarm that the
leaders in Michigan are watching de-
velopments. From Detroit comes the
word that the big automobile manu-
facturers, many of whom embrace
prohibition at long range, are not sat
isfied with present prospects.
They fear that an exodus of their
indispensable workmen in sufficient
number to cause them real trouble will
take place. Ohio will gain many OF
those who dislike the drastic rules OF
prohibition, it is stated. 1t is admit
ted that it is going to be difficult to
keep men in Detroit.

Chinese Rising
To Emergency

So quietly and unobtrusively have
the 100000 Chinese lover there" been
doing their bit with pick and shovel
back of the lines that many would be
surprised to know they are considered
by some high British officers a de-
Gliding factor in allied successes. Oc-
casionally we get a picture of a band
of Chinese digging trenches, building
roads, unloading and hauling guns
from the docks, replanting the devas-
tated forest lands, or in recreation
hours learning western games and en-
joying the movies. The Chinese are
known as indefatigable and cheerful
workers. They learn quickly and new
er forget; and without doubt the null
titude of impressions now being made
on the minds of Chinese in France
rill have an inca1culable influence on
the development of China. The pro-
ject of importing Chinese all the way
from China to Europe was regarded
by many as a doubtful experiment,
but the expectations of the most
hopeful seem to have been more than
justified. According to one observer,
who has watched the Chinese at work
and play behind the battle lines, the
Chinese has the thinnest of skulls and
the quickest of brains. He is a mag
nificent judge of character, his men
tai processes are profoundly logical,
and a lightning sense of humor per-
vades his being. Since they have been
in France the Chinese labor compan-
les have worked magnivcently."
The Chinese have so long been
known as a nation of peace lovers,
however, that the story of how they
checked the Germans in Picardy long
enough for the British forces to mend
their line, came as a surprise to many.
The Chinese are reported to have
been working under American eugin-
GERS on important construction just
back of the line when it was ANNOUNCE
ed that the Germans were coming.
The engineers mustered them in ,pla-
toons, distributed rifles and ordered
counter attack. You never saw
anyone so pleased at the opportunity
to fight as were those Chinese" said
one officer. "They had been under
fire for a long time and were delight
ed at the feel of a rifle. They fought
with surprising gallantry." Their line
held, and they enjoyed the experience
so much that they begged to be al
lowed to retain their rifles. They
have proved their worth as fighters
too, and we shall probably hear from
them again in that capacity.

MUST FILE THEIR
REQUIREMENTS IN
The NEAR FUTURE

Hartford, June 5-Every sugar
user in Connecticut is affected by
statement issued today by Federal
rood Administrator Robert ScoviIle
and those large users of sugar, who
require it in their business and have
failed to apply for the new sugar
certlhcates may find they have de-
fauIted their claims to future allot-
ments of sugar. 1t is known that
many large users of sugar are just
now comfortably supplied but IL As
should nevertheless register their fu-
ture requirements so that the food
administration may have accurate sta
tistics on which to base it's appor-
Torment for the hot months ap-
preaching. The applications should
be sent to the Federal Food Admin
istration, Sugar Division, So Pearl
street, Hartford, Conn. Mr.. SEQ
ville's official explanation of the sit
uation is as follows:
AS far as we can see at the pres
ent time, the certificate control Of
sugar manufacturers will be contin-
ued for the duration of the war. 1t
is, therefore, imperatively necessary
that all manufacturers of food pro
ducts using sugar file the required
statement before June 10. These
statements must cover sugar on hano
and show the present situation, as the
percentage of sugar to be allotted to
manufacturers will depend very large
ly upon the total requirements of the
industries. Therefore, unless these
reports are filed in time to include
the manufacturers requirements
within the total, the allotment will be
insufficient and it will be unfair to
the manufacturers who have com
piled, to furnish any sugar to those
who have failed to obey this warn
ing.
ANY manufacturer who has in
stock a large amount of sugar and
thinks thereby that he has no &C.
casion to apply to the food admin
istration is not only in danger of
losing his future supply but is likely
to be considered a hoarder."

NUMBER OF POTENTIAL SOLDIERS
TO Be ADDED THROUGH MEDIUM
OF new DRAFT PLACED AT 100000

National purpose to see that no in
dividuals evade service is expressed
in the regulations, wherein are voiced
the command of the government to
peace officers of all descriptions, Uni
ted States marshals, Secret Service
men, and city police, that they shall
assist exemption boards in scanning
lists and combing out attempted
evaders of the registration.
Figures available show that no 9TH
er country participating in the great
war has the actual resources in men
that the United States has. Against
the provost marshal generals esti-
mate of 100000 for the American
military class of 1918, which is added
to the almost 10000, 900 total of 1917.
can be placed the German annual in
crement of 100000, the French of
100000 and the Italian of $4,000.
And all these classes in other countries
have been called in advance.

The RATTLESNAKE

Contributed by Harold MacGrath
paign of aPtriotism Through Educa-
tion.)
We must win this war. There must
be no hesitance, no arguing pro and
con, no silly sentimentality. 1t is
our lives against the Germans, our
existence against theirs. And; as
things stand today, we have better
right to live than they have, dishon-
ored, as they are, hated as no white
race was ever hated before.
We must win this war because a
stalemate or German victory means
ultimate poverty for the White Peo-
pies. tt will mean that America must
live for ages under stupendous tax
alton. II will mean that from a
peaceful commercial nation we shall
of necessity become a military ma
armament, and more
armament 1t means that civilization
will drift back into barbarism-as
Germany has drifted back-the world
become brutalized.
We must win this war because Ger
many has put herself beyond the pale;
she has outlawed herself among ma
tons; and, realizing what she has
done, she will stop at nothing, no
horror, no trickery, to gain her base
ends.
eW must win this war because 1t
would not be worth while living under
the shadow of Teutonic domination.
1t will be far better to die in honor
in France than to die at home in
shame.
When a rattlesnake lifts its head,
we strike, with whatever we can Law
tn ehand to; and Germany is the rat
tlesnake among nations. She will un-
derstand nothing but blows, and more
blows. So let us set down our two
hundred million heels upon the head
OF this venomous thing. Strike with
all the power we have, strike until
this poisonous head lies mangled in
the dust! Strike!

INTERNATIONAL
EGG CONTEST

The hens in the laying trials at
Storrs have yielded a little ground,
but they are still in good order. Not
only this, but they seem to have suf-
ficient reserve; hence there is little
doubt as to the final outcome of the
competition. The total number of eggs
for the thirtieth week was 4,371, or
yield of 62 y per cent; they laid 4,57S
last week and AIS in the correspond
ing week last year. The Leghorn Di-
vision struck hard last week and are
still at it; they constitute 43 per cent.
of the birds entered in the contest, but
are LAYING close up to so per cent. of
the eggs.
E. A. Billiards. Leghorns from
Chestnut Hill, Pa, did the best work
for the week; these ten hens laid 60
eggs. Henry E. Heine's pen of the
same breed from Lakewood, n. j., got
second place just as they did last week
and with exactly the same yield,
namely 62 eggs. A pen of Buff Wy
andottes entered by H. P. Cloyes Of
East Hartford, Conn.,, and two pens
of White Leghorns owned by Exmoor
Farms, Lebanon, Pa, and Hollywood
Wash. all tied for third place with
Law of SO eggs each. Oak Hill Es-
tates Leghorns from Uniontown, Pa,
were in fourth position with yield
of So eggs for the week.
With the approach of summer
weather all fiocks everywhere are
likely to fall off a little in their pro-
duction and unfortunately this can
not be entirely obviated. Some hints
are so simple that when made the
uninitiated consider them of only
small Importance. For instance, it
is just as necessary that hens have
water, clean fresh water, as to have
feed. Add to this a bountiful supply
of tender tempting green food and
then make a careful periodical exam
nation for lice and mites and exter-
inmate them and in most cases more
eggs will result.
The three best pens in each of the
principal varieties are as follows:
