The battle was too strong and he bo.

Cook Marcia jumped overheard after
the man and after struggle with the

and they were both hauled aboard.

Loans To Farmers.

The War Finance Corporation of
the Treasury Department will make
loans, in exceptional cases, directly
and without the Intervention of
banks, to livestock raisers, whose
industry has been classified as one
necessary or contributory to- the
prosecution of the war.
These loans are to be made -lnder
section 9 of the War Finance Cor
poration act, and the loans will be
made to individuals, firms, and cor
porations whose principal business
is the raising of live stock, which in
Guides cattle, goats, sheep, and hogs.
For the present only the Federal
Reserve banks of Kansas City and
Dallas are designated as agencies to
execute these loans, which are to be
made to livestock raisers who are
experiencing great difficulty in their
operations owing to drought condi-
tons, though cattlemen from other
districts are not excluded from the
benefit of section 8.
The War Finance Corporation has
also effected an arrangement for ex-
tending financial assistance to the
Gamers of New York State.

The cooperation of people OF vii
lagos. towns, and cities in, harvest
ing the farm crops demonstrates in
a most forcible way the patriotism
of the American people and the
active way in which they are sup
porting the program of the Govern
ment.
Farmers planted this year the
largest acreage of crops in the his
tory of our agriculture. Every
where the farmers have responded
to the call from the Government for
greater food production and are do
ing everything within their power to
give to the country the large supply
that is so greatly needed.
While crop production has been
increased, the farmers have beel
confronted with labor difficulties in
many sections of the Union, and
have had to cope with the difficulty
of cultivating and harvesting an in
creased acreage of crops with re-
duced amount of regular labor to dc
the work.
In order that this question might
be clearly placed before the people
of the villages, towns, and cities OF
the various States, arrangements
were made by the Department OF
Agriculture, in cooperation with
State Councils of Defense, the agrl-
cultural colleges and the U. S. De-
partment of Labor and State de-
partments of labor, to hold meetings
with chambers of commerce, bust
ness mems associations, rotary
clubs, and other organizations of the
cities and towns, placing before
them the need for agricultural labor
and urging action which will give
adequate assistance. Everywhere the
response has been large and crafty
ing. The result of this campaign is
that many thousand of workers have
been enrolled and have done much
to meet the emergency.

Corn Binder To Save Labor.

One man with corn knife by
working hard can cut and shock an
average of ~ acres day. Two
men with a platform harvester can
harvest or acres in the same
time. and three men with corn
binder in a 10-hour day can cut and
shock from Z to 9 acres. These
figures are brought out in a Farm
ers' Bulletin issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture to
show advantages of using machinery
in cutting corn. This year when
farm help is so limited there is ur-
gent need for. the use of labor-saying
machinery wherever possible. Cut
ting corn by hand is hard, dis
agreeable task, the bulletin points
out, and the time when it should be
done is limited to few days if the
full feeding value of the corn is to
be retained. Fall blowing, seeding
for winter wheat and digging pota-
toes must be done on many farms at
about the same time. In such cases,
the timeliness and ease of accomp-
fishing the work are determining
factors in deciding the advisability
of using corn-cutting machinery.
When the binder is used for cut
ting corn for silage the labor of at
least two men will be saved as com
pared to cutting by hand. One bind
er will usually be able to cut the
corn as fast as IL or IA inch silage
cutter can handle it. A great deal
of time is saved in unloading at the
cutter, because the corn is in bun
dies which enables a further reduc-
ton in the size of the harvesting
crew.

After watching Congress higsle
over the various prohibition meas
ures for weeks without taking final
definite action the Food Administra-
ton has decreed that the brewing OF
beer must stop December 1, as after
that date no more materials will be
permitted to be used in the produc-
ton of the beverage.
The action by the food admins
tration against beer was taken as a
war measure after consultation with
the president and representatives OF
the fuel and railroad administra-
tions. Notice is also served upon
the manufacturers of all beverages
that there must be great curtailment
of fuel for use in the manufacture
of their products.
The action taken settles the ques-
ton of beer prohibition without
reference to the legislation now
pending in congress. 1t means that
with manufacture stopped, the sale
of beer will necessarily be discon-
tinued as soon as the accumulated
supply is exhausted.
The senate on Friday night, with
out a roll call, passed the $12,'
OOO,O 900 emergency agricultural bill
with it's rider for national prohibi-
ton after July /, 1919, until the
war ends and the armies are de-
modified.
Under national prohibition legis'
lation passed by the senate and Sent
to the house, which enacted similar
legislation last May, manufacture oil
beer and wine would be prohibited
after next May l.. The order of tde
Food Administration will move III
six months the time for discontinue
ance of the manufacture of beer
altho the breweries may be allowed
to resume operations between thai
date and the effective operation o.
the "dry" legislation, if finally
enacted, since the Food Administra
TONS order was until further
orders"

To Bring Back Our Dead.


It will be cheering news to our
people that the Government is to
bring back to this country the bodies
of it's heroes who fall in battle. So
perfect have been the arrangements
for preserving the records that it is
believed that only negligible num-
Der of bodies will not be restored to
their own soil, and this will be
through circumstances beyond con-
troll.
Every soldier wears. around his
neck two brass medals tied together
on which are his name and number.
When interment takes place one of
the medals is removed and the other
left. The grave is marked, where
ever possible, by corps of men
especially detailed for the purpose,
and, in any event, the body carries a
record which will last for many
years.
If this seems a gruesOme subject
to many it will not be thought such
by those who already have lost loved
ones, or who fear they must. With
oil our belief in Immortality, we
very properly cherish the earthly
tabernacle of the loved and lost, and
it is a solemn satisfaction to know
where they are laid. One can almost
tell the character of any nelghbor-
hood by looking at it's cemetery.

Boys and Girls Fall Gardens.

) The war garden should not be
neglected during the later part oil
the season. Keep every foot OF
ground producing vegetables until
frosts end the growing season.
In the Northern States there is
still time to plant turnips, spinach
kale. radishies, lettuce, and beets
while in the Middle South there is
still time to plant all these crops as
well as string beans and peas. In
the Lower South now is the time to
plan for a good fall garden. In
many sections of the South spinach
kale, lettuce, beets, and similar
crops may be planted at any time
during the fall for use during the
winter, as the climate is such that
they will continue to grow through
out the winter. Potato-onion sets
may be put out in the fall in almost
all sections of the country.

Y. w. G. A. work.

Many prominent women are serv-
ing in the various hostess houses
conducted by the Young Womcn's
Christian Association in the military
camps throughout the country, and
among the humber can be counted
the wife of at least one Governor.
Among the women who have been
most faithful in service at the
Hostess House cafeteria at Camp
Meade, Md, is Mrs. Emerson Har-
rington, the beautiful wife of the
Governor of Maryland. Once week
from the little historic town OF
Annapolis, committee of women go
to Camp Meade to wait upon the
soldiers who patronize the Hostess
House there, and Mrs. Harrington is
often a member of this committee.
She dons the pretty blue and white
uniform that is worn by these volun-
teers and industriously looks after
the important task of seeing that the
boys wishes in the way of food are
gratified. Mrs. Harrington has a
son in the service--Lieutenant Elmer
son Harrington, Jr., who is at pres
ent at Spartansburg, and conse-
quently she takes more than usual
interest in the boys in kahki.
This is only one of Mrs. Harring-
toms many interests. She is a dill
gent worker in the War Camp Com
munity Service and recently has
been very busy measuring and
weighing babies in the Child We'll
fare campaign. Red Cross work al
so claims much of her attention, and
last but not least the charming wife
of the Governor of Maryland is
never seen without her knitting.
