lsLAcKER REWARD REDUCED

Policemene Must Give More to the Pa
trolmen's Relief Fund Hereafter.
By Special Correspondent.
TOTTENvILLE, Aug. e-Polics
Commissioner Enright has issued an
order that will cut down the reward
of siackers by members of the police
force. Heretofore they have been
getting $45 for each draft evader,
which was the fifty dollar reward
offered by the government, less the
per cent, which went to the police
relief fund. The commissioner or
dered that forty per cent additional
must be given to the fund, which was
established by former Commissioner
Woods for the benefit of families of
policemen killed in the line OF their
duty. The reason for the order, It
was stated, is that many of the men
had diverted too much to the search
for slackers, some having received
rs high as $1,000 since the awards
were offered. $4,000 has already
been paid members of the New York
police force by the government for
this work.

FOOD CARD FOR DOGS
French CANNES Are Likely to Be
"HOOverized."
Feeding Has Become Serious Problem
Great Shortage in Gasoline and
Tobacco.

Paris.-The dog population of the
republic has been living, fighting n
suffering with the human population
in resisting the German octopus, and
is now about to be restricted by
"cards" along with the humans.
The latest system to be announced
is that, following the demands of the
Agricultural Society of Moulins, the
government is considering the intro
duction of a bread card. for dogs, a
card that will entitle dogs doing use
full work for the country to their
proportionate share of dog biscuit.
Since the first of the month an
other discommoding scheme has taken
effect. No gasoline car be sold, even
for domestic uses, such as lighting,
heating or cooking. The government
stated energetic measures had to be
taken, in view of the fact that the
stocks of gasoline were almost ex-
hausted and it would be dangerous
to permit them to become further
depleted.
A ruder shock for the entire male
population of France, which smokes
almost to a man after reaching the
age of twelve, came with the publ
cation of the news hat there was no
more tobacco to be had. Imported
English tobaccos are still to be OBJ
tained in limited quantities, but the
price is prohibitive to the average
Frenchman.
The reasons given for the tobacco
shortage are the increased consump-
tion by the soldiers. in the trenches
and the decreased production and inn
portation, due to the lack of bottoms.
4 good deal has. been said about
the establishment of a tobacco card,
but the government has suggested
that a system Of voluntary %rationing
he first tried out. If this is u%nsuccess-
full nothing will remain but the addi-
ton of one more card to the rapidly
growing list.

URGES PATRIOTS TO
EAT MORE CLANS

Portland, Ore.-"Eat CLANS"
is the advice of DIR. G. H. Ed
mondson, assistant professor of
zoology at the University of
Oregon, to all patriotic Ameri-
cans who are trying to conserve
the nations meat supply. He de-
clares the clam is as palatable'
as the oyster and has a similar
food value.
Doctor Edmondson suggests
the use of the clam in place of
red meats, which the govern
ment is striving to conserve.
This suggestion comes as the re-
suit of a survey he made recent
ly under the direction of the
United States bureau of fisher
les. His object was to discover
the edible species of shellfsh, to
find where they may be obtained
in quantities and to perfect a
means of cooperating with those
engaged in marketing this sea
product.

FARMERS COMBINE HELP.

1t takes the Irish to beat the Dutch
and the Yankees to beat the Kaiser. The
most distinguishing Yankee trait is re-
| sourcefulness, 50 we must find some re-
| lief from the farm help situation By
| more methods than one. We will all
admit that slaclers should be set to
work, that towns should furnish as much
volunteer help as possible and that every
man who can be induced to go to work
on farm should be placed there. The
United States Department Of AgricuI.
ture is holding up the following illustra.
tion as an example Of one way that lies
within the power of every farmer to get
some relief from the shortage Of farm
help.
In a certain community there were
four farmers, one of whom had $50 acres
of haying to do, the other three Of whom
had 25 acres each to harvest. In form
er years the man on the large farm had
hired four extra hands during the hay
ing season, and one Of the other farm
ers had hired one hand. Two of the
men with a small acreage had done all
their own work with the help Of their
wives and children. Haying had always
been a heavy job for the small farmers
RSS%NISg AAlEg ulu llUl nave improved ma
chinery to do the heavy work; it had
always been a long job for all four men
often lasting for three weeks or more and
preventing work on all other crops. Last
year it was found practically impossible
by these farmers to get help so tina.
even the man with a large acreage OF
hay only had one extra man when hay
cutting time came. In this emergency
the four men got together and talked
the whole thing over with the result
that the following plan was adopted:
All four farmers pooled their help and
in one gang and considered
the haying on all four farms as one big
job. The result was that in four days
the haying had been done on all three
Of the small farms and the haylng force
was ready to tackle the big job The
arge improved machinery of the farmer
with a large acreage had proved a bless
ng to the other farrsArs and had taken
away lot Of the heavy work that had
always gone with haying before. In
light or nine days the haying had been
lone on the large farm and the four
armers had finished haying in a shorter
ime than ever before. There had been
ess back-breaking work and the farm
rs wives who had been in the habit OF
lelping out swore that they would never
20 back to the old way of haying.
OF course this same idea and plan can
'e applied to any other kind Of work
n the farms Of Delaware and Is not
necessarily limited to haying. It is an
ntirely voluntary plan and could not
e put to work in every community but
'here the situation is serious enough
nd where farmers are in the habit OF
working together, this plan would be
great help.
