It nay be doubtful In some cases
whether special poultry farm can

and equipment for production along
some other line that will be profitable
at this time. Indeed. In most cnses he
must so adapt his business to chnnged
conditions or sacrifice what he has in

Every farmer thet becomes Inter-

cHaIsI,AN TEMPERANCE WAR
WORK

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union Is carrying on Its war work. not
as a side Issue. as many outsiders
seem to think. but as an exigent and
intensive part Of Its regular program.
II never knew the WOman's Christian
Temperance Union did that kind of
work" said club woman at q con-
ference held for the purpose Of corre-
lating the governmental departments,
Industries and women's organizatio
which have been doing Americaniza-
tion work. She learned with out
spoken surprise that for many yenrs
the WOman's Christian Temperance
Union had been looking after the immi-
grant at ports of entry. in jails. hos
pitals and courts. had issued travelling
cards, published and distributed edu-
cational literature in many languages,
conducted temperance columns In for
eign language papers, and co-operated
In divers ways with the public schools
In the work of preparing the children
Of many nations for American citizen
ship. She learned further that the Ma
tional Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is cooperating with the won.
ans division Of the United States de-
partment Of labor In securing employ
ment for women and girls and with
other governmental agencies for the
welfare Of women workers.
These and other lines Of work so i'm
portant during and after the war have
been long time specialized in Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union de-
partments, so that no new machinery
has been required to carry on the i'm
mense amount Of war work being done
by the 10000 local units.
