Boys Can Help Country by
Gardening, Raising Poultry,
Pigs, and Conserving Food

How every American boy, although
separated by the Atlantic ocean from
the actual theater of war against au-
tocracy, can play his part In upholding
American ideals, Ia pointed out by
Secretary of Agriculture Houston In
a message addressed to the Boy Scouts
Of America. The Secretary pledges to
the boys the hearty cooperation OF the
federal and state agricultural agencies
Secretary Houston's statement fol-
lows:
''The splendid army Of Boy Scouts
of America can be of very great help
to the nation In this time Of world
need. The war can be won only IL
we deliver the men, the ships, and the
food in sufficient number and quaint
ties to make our war program effec-
tive. You as q boy scouts can greatly
aid by growing home vegetable gar
dens, raising pigs and poultry. con-
serving food by canning and drying
for home use and In many other ways
open 10 you.
"Will you not help your c0uE--y

LABoR's REPRESENTATIVES
ARRIVE FOR CONFERENCE

London, Sept. 1.-THE last of the
delegates to the great labor confer
ence which is to open here next week
arrived today. Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, heads the American mis-
sion. Leaders of the movement con,
tinue to deny the report that social
ism will occupy any part in the de-
alterations of the delegates. Those
who have been looking into the un-
rest which exists in England among
the laboring classes declare that the
increased cost of living has much
to do with it. This increase amounts
to nearly 200 per cent over pre-war
prices. Rents, clothes, food, trans
portation, lighting and fuel have
jumped faster than wages and the
workers declare that they cannot live
as comfortably as they could before
the war, although they are working
longer hours for higher wages

fighters II needs men for the industrial
army. and it especially needs men for the
unskilled work in the shipyards, munition
plants and other war industries Today
the man who volunteers for pick-and-
shovel work in an essential industry is as
much patriot as the man who volunteers
for the army. Perhaps, in the last analysis,
he is more so, for he gets no public glory
and only hard work Among the thousands
of letters received by the employment

ample OF simon-pure patriotism, il de

Such a hero you'd be every German
would fee.
II you only were somewhere in France:
But il isn't exciting, affair from the fight

Some few bonds do you own in the

When the call comes for cash do
you pay?
Do you nurse wounded men tall they're

Plunging into the scrimmagc anew?
Have YOU canned up tomatoes, and
planted potatoes?
You're loyal-but what do you Do?
If you're too old to fight, you can still
