Finnish Commission
Enroute to United States

A trade commission sent by
the government of Finland to
create economic relations be-
tween that country and the
United States is expected to ar
rive here soon. The commission

|gest and foremost business men
of Finland,-representatives of
commerce and industry. The

tor in many of the largest indus
tries; DR.. F. M. Pitkaniemi, head
of the agricultural products ex-
port concern; DR.. Walter Wahl,
commercial specialist; Col. Cos
TIA Serlachius, owner Of large pa
per mills; DR.. K. A. Poloheimo,
owner Of extensive commercial
enterprise; and DR.. William Ro-
senlew, large manufacturer of
wood products.
The members Of the commits
sion desire to familiarize them
selves with the business life of
America, its industries, and the
import and export business. The
commission will ascertain the
possibilities for Finnish products
in America, and will make agree
ments for the sending of Amer

Germs.
The erection of a large num-
ber of new industrial plants is
contemplated in Finland, for

French Women Train
ing for Industry

Large numbers of women in
France are being trained to oc-
cupations formerly followed by
men. Two centers for training
them as machine designers have
been established-one at Paris
and the other at Lyon-and al
ready many of them have devel-
oped into expert toolmakers.
Through death or disablement
over 100000 men have been
withdrawn from French indus
trial life since the beginning Of
the great war. Realizing the
necessity which now confronts
women Of all classes, not only
to earn their own living, but al
so to help care for the thousands
|of orphans and other dependents
which have been left and know
ing that from now on a great
diversity Of work will be open
to them, the French labor d
partment is considering the ad-
visibility of giving young girls,
as well as boys, a pre-apprenti-
ceship training to enable them to
determine upon an occupation
for which their particular capa-
city may fit them. France be-
ing country of small shops ms
tead of large factories, many Of
her trades are learned by an ap-
premiership system, supplemen-
ted by a careful training in art
and design.
With the revision of the pro-
gram of vocational training for
women in view, and with the
purpose of fastening the resto-
ration of after-the-war trade,
the minister of labor recently
commissioned Mile. Marguerite
Bourat, inspectrice, du travail
dams Pindustrie, to visit the
United States and make a stu
dy of the industrial training
methods in use in this country.
While on this side, Mile, Bourat
presented a paper before the
American Academy of Political
Science in New York City.

State Council of Defense
Seeks Records Of Sol
diers, Sailors and
Marines
To Appoint Parish Canvassers
to Get Information of War
Service for States
Archives

Baton Rouge, March 2s.-The ser.
vice record of every soldier, sailor
and marine is desired by the Louis
lana State Council of Defense for
permanent preservation in the state
and parish archives. In order to Sc
cure accurate information regarding
every mans service a campaign is be-
ing undertaken which will give
friends and relatives of these men an
opportunity to furnish facts.
Parish War Record Directors are
being appointed by Governor Pleas
ant who will have charge of the par
ish organization. Canvassers are be-
ing furnished with blanks and will
visit every family to ascertain wheth-
er they had sons or relatives in any
branch of the service. In addition to
the mans personal and military rec
ord. an opportunity viii! be given to
each family to furnish interesting ex-
tracts from letters, photographs, or
anything that will have become valu-
able from a historical standpoint in
one hundred years or more. It is es-
pecially important that the record Of
men who fought under TIE Ca:iadIan
flag, or the flags of other Allied Ma
tions be secured. as we'll as all men
who volunteered, as the names of
these men are not in the possession
OF, the draft boards.
It is determined that there shall be
no repetition of the incomolete re-
cording Of war service which result
ed following the close of the Civil
War because no adequate steps were
taken to obtain 'he facts Tie pub
lie is requested to cooperate in MAX
ing Louisiana's honor roll complete.
When the canvassers have com.
pleted the work for any given parish,
the blanks will be forwarded to State
Council of Defense Headquarters
where they will be copied in dupli-
cate on special blanks, and placed in
handsome leather loose leaf binders.
One copy will be presented to the
parish as memorial to the men who
served and the other record will be
retained as the state file.
Relatives and friends of every man
who entered the service are urged to
ascertain the name of the War Rec
ord Director for the parish and CO.
operate in securing complete and ac..
curate information. Information re-
garding the parish organizations,
where to secure blanks, ETC., may be
obtained from State Council of De-
Tense Headquarters, Baton Rouge.

Huge Army to Serve After
Peace Comes in Con-
quering High Cost
Of Living
Country Wants 100000 Chill
dren to Continue Raising
Food in Home and
School Gardens

Washington, D.. c., March 26, 1910
No matter what the League of Ma
tions may decide upon, there is one
army which will not be demobilized,
and that is the army of nearly 3,OO0,-
600 American children who helped
raise the food which won the war
They are the members Of the United
States School Garden Army, and in
stead Of demobilizing they are now
conducting an active nationwide re-
cruiting campaign.
The Department of the Interior
through the Bureau of Education or
ganized the United States School
Garden Army last year. And now
the call is sent out by the same or
ganization for recruits to the number
of at least 100000 boys and girls
principally between the ages of nine
and fifteen. The General Federation
Of Women's Clubs has indorsed the
project and Mrs. John Dickinson
Sherman, Chairman of Conservation,
represents the Federation.
In every state Of the Union the
women's clubs will cooperate with
school teachers in furthering work.
"A Garden for Every Child Every
Child in a Garden" is the motto of
the army. Each boy or girl who joins
will sign pledge to raise one or
more food crops during the present
year. The motto and the pledge ex-
plain in full the whole purpose and
the whole working plan of the army.
Actual formation of the children in
to an army will be done, as it was
last year, by the school teachers.
They will enroll their pupils in COM
panies of from ten to .15O members
each. The official insignia o the ar
my is bar exhibiting a rake and a
hoe, the handles crossed with the let
tiers U. S. S. G. showing between the
angles. Every child will be given an
insignia by the teacher, who in turn
will be supplied from Washington.
The military idea is carried out in
every company organization, each
comapny having a captain and two
lieutenants The emblem of a cap
tain is the army insignia with an
eagle on thebar; the lieutenants will
wear the gold with stars.
While it is true that the activities
of the United States School Garden
Army will in no small measure aid
in redeeming Americas food pledge
to Europe. Twenty million tons of
food during l91o," this is not the main
purpose of the Organization. The
plan is to increase the nations food
resources, and at the same time to
inculcate economy and self help and
to provide the children with healthful
occupation which is as enjoyable as
games played only for pleasure.

A DisgracefuI Exhibition

In its swan song to the liquor
business in Brookfeld the Daily
Argus last Monday, said;
In the meantime, the editor
has not nor will not purchase one
drop of liquor for the future. He
takes no stock in the laying in OF
supply for the future use. In
deed, the closing days of the
month have afforded numerous
unanswerable arguments in favor
of prohibition in the disgraceful
eagerness of so many persons to
stock up" for the dry days
ahead. While of course only q
very small proportion of the
people participate in these rushes
of liqour buying, yet the scenes
presented constitute rather
discreditable commentary on the
soberness and good sense of a
people generally self-respecting
and restrained.
If the water works plant had
been destroyed, if all hope of
getting DEMONSTRATING water for
an indefinite period was gone, one
would not be surprised to see the
people filling every possible re-
ceptacle with water and hauling
them feverishly to their homes,
that every precious drop might be
kept as long as possible. But
that Americans should be so
enormously eager to store up as
many bottles of beer and whiskey
and wine as they can buy-not as
many as they can afford, for many
of them are buying far beyond the
limits of what they can afford is
q situation of which no one has
any great reason to be proud. It
is an exhibition, not of vicious
ness but of q weakness which
arrouses rather contempt than
any other sentiment.
