ALL WILL GET JOBS
To Be No Slump in the Demand
for Labor.
Devastated Europe VIII Look to
United States to Help
Rebuild

New Y~ork.-Jo3s for all will be had
for the askin3 in the period Of the
worlds reconstruction. There's to be
no slump in the demand for labor.
1t has been estimated that no fewer
thar 100000 men have been killed
In europe. ThesUnited States, which
las not lost $4,000 men, must make
good this huge labor loss.
Devastated Europe will look to the
United States for help to rebuild. We
must finance this big job and supply
the materials and tools.
According to M. Tardieu, French
high commissioner, 1T will take two
years to get the French coal mines in
working order and ten years to put
them in prewar condition. To recon
struct private homes alone will re-
quire the work of 100000 men for 20
| years.
Prof. Van den Ven Of Louvain, now
in the United States, says the war
losses Of Belgium total approximately
$4,000,000,0 600. Before the drive more
than $4,000 buildings had been de-
stroyed. Practically all the important
factories have been robbed Of their
machinery, and, in many cases, not
only the walls RACED but the very foun-
dations destroyed.
The machinery was shipped to Ger
many. Towns and villages have been
wrecked. Farms have been robbed of
all live stock. Miles of interurban
railroads have been torn up and
shipped to Germany.
The problem Is first to keep alive
the population released by Germany
second, to reconstruct the industrial
machine so the people can make q
living.
England also will want food, manu-
featured goods, raw material and ma
chinery in great quantities. So will
Italy and the Scandinavian countries.
George e. Roberts of the National
City bank maintains that the United
States will pass out of the war period
with more wealth than she possessed
before the conflict began. There has
been much scientific development OF
industry. and agriculture has beer
stimulated as never before.
There Is no obstacle, he thinks
to a continuance of business activity
except the difficulty Of readjustint
business to a peace basis. This obsta
Gle Is great but surmountable.

because of it's superior tone. The Brunswick at
tains the utmost in reproduction. 1t regains all
the tones hitherto lost, for it embodies a new am
plifier, built entirely of wood.
Metal construction, we ascertained by test, can
not release and expand sound waves with the rare
fluency of wood.
SO the throat and the mouth" of the new
Brunswick are of rare holly wood, moulted to meet
acoustic requirements. We use no metal castings
here, no tin.
The result, as you will note instantly, is more
faithful reproduction, with complete avoidance of
the metallic, rasping noises.
We do not ask you to accept these statements
as evidences of our own enthusiasm nor that of
the thousands of satisfied Brunswick owners.
Prove to yourself that The Brunswick is your
personal choice. Acomparison is simple. Your
ear can decide. And we gladly urge you to make
these tests before you buy.

WHEN BUYING
MEAT SCRAPS

The cost of meat SCRAPS is at pres
ent from 81 to So per cwt., which at.
first sight looks high-priced to the
farmer, In reality it is cheap when
compared with grain feed. 1t will cost
5 cents per month per hen for the
scraps. One extra egg per month per
hen will pay for the expenditure.
In purchasing meat scraps look at
the analysis on the tag, and amount
of protein stated. The protein content
viii be from 35 to 60 per cent, and
the cost should be based on this. When
meat scraps containing go per cent
cost So per cwt., 90 per cent protein
scraps should, as far as feeding value
goes, cost only 81. 1t may not be
possible to purchase with this differ.
ence, but the buyer should always get
the scraps having the greatest protein
content.
Sour, skimmilk or buttermilk win
take the place of meat scraps, but in
order to do this the hens must be given
all they will drink at all times.

GEN. CROzIER
II DISCUSSES RAISING
OF the Age Limit in the Selectiye
Service Law.

Discussing enlargement OF the age
limit for selective military service
Provost Marshal General Crozier said
"a pronounced majority Of the
boards favor some enlargement, but
there is great diversity Of opinion as
to the proper age limit. Nineteen
and 35 are perhaps the limits most
frequently suggested; but some rec
ommend 40 to As years as the upper
limit. There, is a distinctly stronger
demand for raising the maximum age
than for lowering the minimum"
Gen. Crozier estimates that 1885,
1888 acceptable single men would be
made available by an increase of the
age limit to include men up to 40
years. The estimate places the num-
IS and q years at 1,546,283. The
number of probably acceptable single

is 1921 ,S45. According to these fig
ures, should the age limit be enlarg-
ed to include men of from 10 to As
years, inclusive, 4,257,516 physically
and otherwise qualified unmarried men
would be open to call for service.

GROW GOOD POTATOES

The Irish Cobler potato is good
early variety to plant. 1t is the earli-
est white variety usually planted.
Triumph is red potato that is some
what earlier than Cobbler. For an
eGrly crop. planting should be done in
March or April, if weather conditions
permit. For a late crop, Green Noun
tain and Cobbler potatoes may be US
ed. These are both excellent varie-
ties. Planting for the late crop should
be done in July. The Cobbler can be
planted successfully as late as the
first week in August. 1t is best to use
seed a year old, which have been held
in cold storage.
As the weather gets warm, there is
a tendency for potatoes to shrivel and
sprout. This materially reduces the
yield.
Fresh manure should not be used in
the rows at planting time. Manure
should be applied in the fall and win
ter and spaded into the ground before
planting time.
Treatment of scab consists of using
a liquid composed of one pint of for
maldehide to 80 gallons of water. The
potatoes should be placed in a sack,
dipped into the solution and allowed
to stand for two hours.

PREPARED WITH
FARM MACHINERY

Farm machinery manufacturers ars
having difficulties in securing steel
and other materials in sufficient ouan.
titles to meet demands. Contracts
must be made far ahead. Then there
is serious delay in freight shipments
to factories.
In addition to a serious shortage of
materials, there is also a scarcity Of
labor. Many skilled mechanics have
enlisted or been drafted into various
kinds of war work.
These conditions are likely to con-
tinue. There does not seem to be any
possibility of lower prices in the near
future. In fact, prices are likely to
advance.
Now is the time to overhaul all old
farm machinery and place orders for
repairs and new machines. To be
unprepared viii mean costly delays in
the field this spring.

Members OF the Paris association of
chocolate manufacturers because Of
the shortage of sugar now make only
tablet chocolate, having abandoned
entirely the manufacture Of various

France the manufacture of chocolate
candies be prohibited, and the impor-

LICENSE is REQUIRED To SHIP
GOODS ABROAD BY
PARCEL Post

The war trade board is. calling at
tention to the fact that license is re-
quired to ship abroad goods on the
conserved list, even when sent in small
quantities by parcel post In many
cases this has been done by persons ig-
norant of the presidents proclama-

not know of the many articles which
may be exported only under license.
For violation a fine of not more
than $4,000 or Imprisonment for not
