YOUTHS BEING ENROLLED
FOR AGRICULTURAL LABOR
Young Men from IS to Fl Years Old
viii Be Given Chance to Show
Their Patriotism.

Helena.zBelieving the labor short
age on the farms will be more acute
in Montana this year than last, l.. r.
Foote, deputy state superintendent of
public instruction, who was appointed
last year by Governor Stewart as fed
eral director for Montana of the Unit
ed States boys working reserve, has
begun laying plans for the enrolment
of boys from 16 to 81. The depart
ment is under the supervision of the
federal department of labor
"The idea" said Mr.. Foote, sis to
prevent any labor waste and TO give
an outlet for the expression of pa
triotism by the boys from 16 to p
years of age It will also result in
farmers. A county director will be
appointed in each county who will con-
duct the local campaign He will keep
a record of the names and addresses
of the boys who are willing to devote
a specified number of weeks to certain
classes of work. When an employer
calls for help the director will refer
to his list and call on the boys who
have volunteered for that special work
for which the employer needs help.
1.-THE enrolling is patriotic duty,
but the plan provides that boys will
be paid by the employer for whom he
works. In addition to the farm work
the boys will be enrolled for various
industries which will aid in conduct
ing the war successfully. In fact, the
reserve is a part of the great war
for labor in sufficient amount
must be supplied steadily where it is
needed. The youth who enrolls in the
reserve and works Loyalty at some
activity that helps win the war, is
performing a service as patriotic as
hat of the soldier who fights in the |
renches.''

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm
nlediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Retribution.

r. D. Cooper, president of the Dairy
mems league, said at a banquet in
New York:
Farmers should marry. A bachelor
farmer is a solecism. No farmer,
though, should marry a wife as he
buys a tractor-for the work he can
get out of her."
Mr.. Cooper smiled.
1.-THE farmer who marries," he ended,
thinking he can do nothing without a
wife, is apt to discover afterward that
he can do nothing with her." -

Six DAYS Of School in Carbon.

Red Lodge.-The Schools at Silesia
Joliet, Bridger and Fromberg in Car

six days each week. The purpose of
the innovation is to make it possible
for the children needed on the farms
to be released from their studies as
early in the spring as possible. The
plan has been adopted only in the
lower attitudes in the county for in
the higher regions the season is suf-
ficiently late that the children will be
out of school anyway by the time their

This means that the labor resources of the
country are going to back up the fighting resources
in the most efficient and capable manner. It
means the end of wholesale labor stealing" and
"poaching" that has been largely responsible for

tempting workers in one part of the country to
leave their jobs and 60 to another section, often
far distant, under promises, many highly colored,
of higher wages.
Inadequate as the immediate supply of unskilled
labor is, from Is to 40 per cent of it has been
rendered idle because it has been rushed from

Farmers will be one of the essential producers
to benefit. In many sections, notably in the south
and east, farms have been swept bare Of labor by
private recruiting agents. This practice will be
ended and this year agents will be prevented from
going on farms and taking away harvest labor at
the time it is most needed. .sSS
There will be no CONSUMPTION of labor, nothing
compulsory upon the workers side other than as
the work or fight" order affects those of draft
age, and there will be no attempt made to prevent
any worker from changing his job or applying
for another one if he wants to. The restraint
will be all on side of the labor recruiting employ
err For instance, it will be impossible for street
car company which boycotts its own employees
because they wear union buttons to 60 out into
the rural districts and coax farm hands out of
the food fields. j. b.:
