never painted the situation as over
optimistic, it has tried to counteract
the wildly exaggerated reports of
farm labor shortages.
1t has appreciated the fact that
there is a real shortage of regular
farm labor, especially marked in those
sections where war industries have
grown up at the expense of the farms.
1t believes that there is enough labor
available to harvest the greatest crop
ever produced in the country's history
if this labor can only be modified
and properly distributed to the places
and at the time where urgently need
ed. To this task of mobilization and
distribution of farm labor, the Farm
Service Division of the United States
Employment Service has set itself;
and the results being attained are
demonstrating the practical success
of the methods employed,

that the people may learn what it is
to starve. The moral lesson would be
great and the saving of food would
amount to millions OF dallars in value.

The Farm Service Division of the
Department of Labor serves the farm
ers of the country through the ma
chinery of the United States Employ
ment Service, United States Public
Service Reserve, the Department of
Agriculture Field Organization, the
various state labor and agricultural
authorities and through many official
channels and organizations.
When a weekly report from the dis
trict superintendent of Oklahoma re-
cords that 707 hands were called for
and 629 were furnished to reap the
bumper wheat crop; or, from Nebras-
ka, that on a call for 5,944, hands
SOFA were placed in the wheat fields
of that state during a single week,
the farmers and the public at large
catch a glimpse Of the very practical
service rendered by the United States
Farm Service Division of the Depart
ment of Labor.
The Farm Service Division keeps
its finger on the pulse of farm abor
needs of the country through many
organizations other than those Of the
United States Unemployment Service
and the state organizations.
THE POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT
has authorized rural carriers and
postmasters in rural communities to
give aid in the mobilization of farm
labor as labor agents.
COLLEGES OF AMERICA-Secre-
tary Wilson's letter to six hundred
mems colleges and universities of
this country met with immediate re-
Spouse and resulted in the placing of
thousands of young men on the farms
under the auspices Of the United
States Public Service Reserve. The
high schools of the nation through
the United States Boys Working Re
serve have contributed 100000 boys
under sixteen years and over to the
farmers. Under the reserve, which
is closely articulated with the Farm
Service Division, more than $4,000
boys were trained in the rudiments
of farming in schools and agricultur-
al colleges.

LEAVE IT TO FOCH"
By ]. NJ. Smither

A fact is a fact and this is no joke,
The kaiser has cracked, his head is in
soak.
Away he has backed and takes on the
yoke,
And fully decides to leave it to Foch'
He thought he was bold and firm as q
rock,
But then he got cold from helmet to
sock,
And when he was told, decided to dock
And turn loose his hold and "leave it
Foch."
Most humbly he came assuming 4
crouch,
Abandoning name, with never an ouch,
And all that he has, including his
crouch,
He throws in to boot, and "leaves It
to Foch."
or the job that he had, he's made a
big botch,
Forgetting the high and the right e'er
to watch,
And since from his throne he's fallen
n notch,
lie humbly submits and "leaves it TO
Foch."
Folk or Foch, whether Fouch
or Fatch,
Now from his towers the Allies shall
watch,
The British and Yanks, the French
and the Scotch,
The Belgians and Japs, and "leave it
to Foch."

FARMERS ARE URGED
: TO BUY MORE BONDS
The Grave Danger Now Threat
ening Is That Americans
viii Slacken Their
Effort

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. IA stir
ring appeal to the farmers of the 10th
Federal Reserve district to increase
their Liberty Loan subscriptions was
issued by a committee representing
the leading agricultural organizations
of the country. The appeal declares:
"The undersigned representatives
of the organized farmers of the ma
ton appeal to every farmer in the
country to make a record subscription
to our Fourth Liberty Loan worthy Of
the great foundation industry Of ag-
riculture. Whoever may fall short of
this great enterprise so vitally neces-
sary for the winning of the war for
democracy, let not the farmers Of a
single community fail to respond in
fullest measure to their country's call.
"The grave danger we now face is
that some of US may slacken our ef-
forts thinking there is no longer ur-
gent need because of the kaiser's over
ture for peace. Not till the enemy is
back on his own soil and has uncondi-
tionally accepted the terms laid down
by President Wilson and our Allies,
can any loyal American abate his or
her efforts. To let up for a single
minute would be to give the enemy
time to reorganize his forces and
prolong the war. The penalty we as
a nation would pay for such a mis-
take should it seriously affect sub
scriptions to the Fourth Liberty Loan
would be the unnecessary loss of lives
of thousands upon thousands more Of |
our brave boys.
Nothing will so convince the enc
my of the futility of continuing the
struggle and prove that the American
Republic is united in its determination
to force the war to complete victory
as an over-subscription of the Fourth
Liberty Loan, the greatest war loan
IN history. Nothing will so hearten
our allies and dishearten the enemy.
Let the farmer lead in the work."
Among those who signed the appeal
are: G. H. Gustafson, president Neb.
Farmers Union; Arthur Capper, pres
dent Farmers National Committee on
Var Finance; Maurice McAuliffe,
president National Wheat Growers
Union; C. H. Hyde, chairman legis-
ative committee National Wheat
Growers Association; John A. Simp-
on, president Oklahoma farmers
