WANTS KANSAS FARM
ERS TO STORE WHEAT

Changes in the system of handling
wheat by the United States food ad-
ministration grain corporation, which
he says are working a hardship on
millers, livestock growers and farm
ers, are urged in a letteEsfr from Sen.
Arthur Capper to- JuliuAA Hsn RaERss,
head Of the grain corporation.
: 7SenatOr Capper points out that a
rrQp of 100000, 900 ibualseH Ofsgha
Is expected from the piOik u
100000 acres that were sOwn isst Mn
. 'T have received repeated COM
plaints," says the Senator, frOm
wheat raisers, feeders, millers and
consumers alike against the inequali-
ties of the system which last year op-
Grated to deprive them Of the benefits
to which they feel they were entitled
in the growth and sale Of the wheat
crop. It is the general feeling that
the wheat ought not to be rushed at
threshing time to terminal market,
but that large share Of It should be
stored in Kansas, and it is urged that
notifications Of the regulations be
made which will admit of such action;
that action along this line will do
much to stabilize conditions here dur
ing the marketing season"

The Sewer System
Mr.. A. F. Erbacher, representing

ing the price per foot as long IS the
machine was in dirt, but when rock
was struck, the "plus" meant q differ
ent price because it would be blasting
and hand work with pick and shovel.

YALE AND THE ''TOWN BOYS

The old feeling that always exists fin college towns between the college men and the town boys" has cropped out in New Haven in a new form. It is claimed by ex-serviCe men who par aded in New Haven Saturday that they were hissed by Yale men stand ing on the curb. The students >coun- ter-charge that the soldiers referred to them as "slackers.' One of the developments of the unplea santness diers and sailors and Yale students early Sunday morning on the campus, the first fraCas of it's kind that has oc- cured in New Haven in more than twenty five years and last nights at tack on a larger scale.
 At this distance, it seems that both sides to the controversy are partly to blame. If the parading soldiers re- ferred to Yale men as "slackersr they disclosed an appalling ignorance of what Yale has done in the war and of it's contributions in rcd -blooded
 men, officers and buck privates If, on the other hand, the students retail iated by hissing the soldiers thev were in the wrong. No right minded per son believes that Yale men did not gladly do their bit and the students should have been satisfied to rest their case with public opinion. One of the purposes of education is to teach restraint and reserve and a grasp on oneself The Yale men, hay ing had the advantage of college

NACE'S STORY UNSHAkES.
Department of Justice Failed to Dis
 prove His Statements.

Camp Devens May 2S-E. K. Pond. an agent of the department of justice testified yesterday at the court-mar- tlal of Private Paul l.. Mace. for de- sertlon that representatives of the department operating in Pennsylvania had been unable to disprove any of his statements Mace has claimed that he was abducted from Camp Devens and kept on board a German submarine to compel him to divulge alrplane plans. One of the agents, Pond said, tried unnecessarily to obtain an admission from Nace's sis ter that she knew where her brother, was at least during a part of the tune that lie was absent without leave.
 The judge-advocate introduced as an exhibit an almanac that showed the tide was high at Cape Henry, Va, at 2:3S a. m. on October 15 last. On that day, according to Naces story, he was thrown off the German under k sea boat and swan two miles to shore. Sergeant Robert J. Magic of Fort Strong, Va, testified that if Mace landed at Cape Henry at a. m the tide would have been in his favor. He said there was a strong undertow at

WHO IS TO BLAME?

Stories of boy messengers being robbed in New York's financial dis trict are "breaking' with monotonous regularity, the latest coming this morning as the result of the disap- pearance of Liberty bonds valued at $25,00 which had been entrusted to B youth sixteen years of age. He is now under arrest and is believed to have had a part in the theft of the securi- ties.
 New York, it will be conceded, is New York, different from any other spot in the world. But human nature Is the same in New York or Kalama- zoo, and it is just a bit puzzling why men of affairs, whose business acumen has made them famous, will dispatch boys with fortunes in cash or nego- liable bonds. sixteen year old boy ts not the proper person to employ for such purposes. The temptation put before him is more than the aver age youth could resist. Even if he were honest, he would be no match physically for older and sturdier men bent upon robbing him. The tinan- ciers have been requested to dispense with the services of children and hire former soldiers. It is a sound plan.

training, could easily have overlooked an affront offered by few thoughtless individuals and could have borne their wounds with dignity.
 In the final analysis, it prooaoly would be found that the great body of town boys' who barred thell' breasts to enemy machine guns do HoC believe Yale men were "slackerS ana the great body of Yale students do not endorse the hissing which hand1ul of their number indulged in.
 A humorous feature of the rivalry between the town boys and the stu dents occurred during the clash last night when the Yale men dared the soldiers to enter the college buildings and were dared in turn to come out Neither side accepted the dare.

chief means of problem solving. Mo- body else in the army has to depend on his personal charm for obedience to orders. Everybody else who is en- titled to give an order is provided with rank to enforce his authority. The army nurse has functioned as an officer throughout the war, but she has had to do it absolutely without tools, without rank. She has been re- duced to vheedling and pleading When these arts have failed results have failed too.'
 From another point, Boston, comes a demand for equal sex recognition. 1t is proposed to award bonus of S1OO
 to every man who served in the army
 or navy Learning of this delega-
 ton of yoegirls, regularly enlisted,
 marched to the state capitol to ln- sist that they be included in the grant. In voicing their opinion they eXer- cised a right enjoyed by all Ameri- cans. In their demand that they re- ceive the bonus they will have the support of fair minded citizens. They couldn't go to sea, but their work on 1 land was necessary to the proseCu- 1 tion of the war.

REDUCING LABOR TURNOVER.

Tn support ot a, request by Secre- tary Wilson of the Department of La bor that an appropriation be made by Congress to further the work of the United States Training Service, pub licity notices are being received by newspapers explaining the purpose of the service and the progress already made. The service was instituted during the war to make up the def- ciency in skilled labor throughout the country in order that quantity pro- duction of munitions might be made possible. Courses in instruction are installed in factories, 300 manufactur- CTS already having adopted the pro- gram of the service.
 In order to determine the average labor shift, a census of 800 workers was recently taken in Baltimore. Since leaving school, three-fourths of this number had changed their occu- pations more than once; seven per cent. had changed four or more times. A bulletin issued by the service says that these figures are cited to show that the average worker, not having prepared himself for the work he is now engaged in, can profit immensely by industrial training such as the training service is prom oting.' Production experts are quoted to l prove that the majority of industrial l employees, having had no real chance 1 to be thoroughly trained, are scarcely 1 50 per cent. efficient. It is also 1 claimed that under the haphazard | method by which most workers are 1 introduced into factories and shops, 1 approximatcly twice as much time is 1 consumed by employees in acquainting 1 themselves with their new tasks as l would be required if they had the op- 1 portunity of attending training de- 1 partments.' Among the benefits to
 be derived, it is said, would be the l elimina tion of unnecessary overhead expenses, thereby safely maintaining the present high wage schedule. As |
 ice claims training of labor would be
 progressive step.
 There is no doubt that there is
 great economic waste annually in the l United States because of the labor
 turnover. Men drift from factory to
 factory and from city to city, accept | ing jobs that pay high money and in
 many cases making little return on the , investment their wages represent be- 1 cause they are not skilled. Training
 courses not only are helpful to indus | try as represented by capital but are
 also a boon to the young man whose 1 finances force him to leave school
 minus an academic education and
 without an elementary knowledge of
 a trade.

HER PROTEST.

 Upon her hand so small and white He very gladly laid his own She drew it back, as if in fright, And whispered in a. trembling tone:
 You mustn't" He sat a little nearer still. Whereat she moved her chair away; He gazed down in her eyes until He heard her rather feebly say:
 You mustn't" He bent above her where she sat And softly stroked her sill1en hair; She seemed so agitated that She could but faintly declare:
 You mustn t. Around her waist he slipped an arm And drew her closely to his side; She seemed possessed of wild alarm And in imploring accents cried:
 You mustn't Deciding to possess the bliss That Fate had put within his reach, He claimed sweet and fervent kiss, But did she then in horror screech:
 "You mustn't?'
 She didn't.
