OFFICE
FOR U. s. SERVICE
may Be OPENED HERE
City Is Required TO Maintain Suit.
able Building and the Govern
ment Will Pay Salary of
the Local Agent.

1t is probable that United States
service employment bureau may be
opened in Watertown within short
while if plans now under way come to
a head. The United States government
will pay the salary of the local agent
provided the city maintain a suitable
place in which to house the office The
latter it is said will require an ex-
penditure of $500 and the salary of
the local agent will be $1,000 per year
If this office is established it will
likely care for labor in both counties
and the manufacturers will be asked
to appoint committee for conference
on labor matters and the wOrkmen will
also be given representation, the To-
cal agent to be chairman of such COM
mittee.
Common Labor.
The supplying of war industries
with common labor will be centralized
in the United States Employment Ser
vice of the Department of Labor and
all independent recruiting of common
labor by manufacturers having 6 pay
roll of more than 100 men will be di-
verified to the U. S. Employment Ser
vice. This is in accordance with the
decision of the War Labor Policies
Board and approved by the President
on June II.
This is probably the most drastic
action the government has taken since
putting the national army draft into
effect. However, the move was found
necessary to overcome perilous
shortage Of unskilled labor in war in
dustries. While the restrictions against
the private employment of labor apply
only to common labor at the present
time, these restrictions WILL as soon
as possible, be extended to include
skilled labor.
The drastic change in the nations
labor program has been found neces-
sary in order to protect the employer
and employed, to conserve the labor
supply of communities, and to increase
the production of essentials. While
non-essential industries will be drawn
upon to supply the necessary labor for
war work the withdrawal will be con-
Quoted On an equitable basis in order
to protect the individual as much as
possible
1t must be understood that farm la
Dor will be protected, for the indus
trial program distinctly includes spe-
clal efforts to keep the farmer SUP
piled with labor.

A TRIBUTE

The funeral of Mrs. Fred Hollatz
took place from the family home in
Pipersville Thursday afternoon. The
little church nearby was unable to &C
cOmmOdate the relatives and neigh
bors who were present to testify by
their attendance the great esteem in
which the wife and mother was held
In the little cemetery on the hillside
across the river she reposes, her own
wish that she might be buried within
sight of the home she presided over
so many years and in whichs he took
the great mOtherly interest which a
true woman does. Her death followed
days ago who is now lingering on the
bOrderline between time and eternity.
Hers was a love of devotion to her hus-
band and children. She was a home
body, but the neighbors say, one of the
best women that ever graced a home
She and her husband lived in peace
and happiness, each happy in the
others love, and it is said that from
the day of their marriage until death
snapped aSunder the marriage VOW
not one cross word or complaint ever
passed between them
Her husband, who is in ST. Mary's
hospital in a critical condition, when
told of her passing, remarked: She
is in better world than this. She
must have her reward for to my
knowledge she never told falsehood
or fb in her life, not even to child
There is a moral in the passing OF
this good woman which might we'll be
emulated at this stage of the world A
well spent life has come to it's close.

Schumann; Mud Hens, Bublitz and
Keel; Mike Davys, Casey and Neither

INTEREST a. PER CENT
ON next LIBERTY LOAN

Secretary McAdoO, in speaking of
the next Liberty loan, said:
"The rate of interest will be Az per
cent. 1t would be ridiculous to raise
this interest. 1t would mean that the
American people were trying to lift
themselves up by their boot straps.
We must have stabilized interest
system in the loan so that business
will not feel it necessary to raise the
interest in it's transactions up and
down the line"

Keep Curb on Speech.

Most of us say Il great deal more
than we mean. We have a way of ex-
aggerating things just for the sake OF
the picturesque. There is no reason
why we should talk about our own af
fairs and less reason for talking about
our neighbors. It is a mighty safe rule
in business, as in life itself, to say
only the pleasant things and keep the
unpleasant things IN the background
or better still, not to recognize them
at all.

The mother who reads and remem-
bers stories that contain little lessons
OF honor, and truth, and kindness,
and love of God, and tells them to
her children is using an effective
method Of teaching. She will keep
her restless charges happy in their
home, and out of mischief, while at
the same time they are learning les
sons of inestimable value.
You may Gull such stories from
Bible history, from the lives of
saints, or from your own experiences, -
says Father Kuehnel. "Catholic pa
pers and magazines will furnish you
with material. And if you comply
conscientiously with this beautiful
duty, both God and your children will
bless you for it,

ers who are striving to adjust them
selves to their new duties. The Cath

Catholic school in Rio Piedras, under
the charge of the Franciscan Sisters.
Franciscan Sisters.
Half of the work has already been
accomplished, in as far as the Sisters
Of the Third Order of St. Francis of
Buffalo are already to go to Rio Pied
ras. These Sisters are already we'll
known in Porto Rico. Some years ago
Bishop William A. Jones of San Juan
found the means to establish a school
in Arecibo under their charge and
they have worked there with wonder
full success.
1t must be remembered in this con-
nection that previous to the American
occupation, schools in Porto Rico were
comparatively few and poorly at
tended. The first American bishop,
the late Archbishop Blenk, found
about seventy priests to care for
nearly a million population. Aside
from the difficulty arising from this
lack of priests, the erroneous idea
that to be an American one must be a
Protestant had to be combatted. New
ertheless, the Catholic faith has held
it's own.

GOVERNOR GOODRICH

country the things that belong to the
country.
And so, Colonel, a Church with
such a history would say to every
proposition OF the German Kaiser
What shall it profit the Church if it
gain the whole world, and lose its
own sOul?' We will say to him the
memorable words that were spoken
on the Mount, Ian does not live by
bread alone And the Catholic Church
regardless Of any promise to temporal
gain, will be true to the high ideals,
that have always marked it. And SO
it was to be expected that, when the
country called today in the battle be-
tween the forces of freedom and ALL
tocratic governments of the Central
Empires, your organization would be
true to its past history. We don't
wonder that 10000 Knights of Column
bus are today fighting in the National
Army and the whole spiritual force
and material resources of your organi-
cation are behind the cause CT civil
ization. And having dedicated your
selves to Freedoms cause, having put
your hand to the pillow, you will drive
the furrOw straight to the end, and
YOU will not stop until victory has
perched upon our banners"
The Governor was most heartily APP
plauded and the piece of propaganda
that had been handed to the Colonel
was effectively countered.

Pupils Of grade schools are not in

will be educated and led in mission
service by it's members.
The Crusade program includes edu-
cation of all students in mission facts
and ideals, by means of lectures, cor
respondence with missionaries, mis-
sion-booAs and pictures and a Crusade
periodical. The second aim is promo
ton of systematic prayer and self
denial among students for spiritual
support of the missions. The third is
mission giving. The Crusade will not
collect money for the missions, but
will organize national efforts, to con-
tribute quantities agreed upon before
hand and appOrtioned to each unit,
after the manner of the war drives
Each gfver is to send direct to the
home or foreign mission or mission
society of his choice Every cent
given is to be reported to the Execu-
tive Board which will inspire and
report progress and final success. The
convention agreed to raise one mil
lion dollars in this way during the
