Better Than JOB
IN Munitions Plant

Wartime jobs in munitions plants
at IS to 325 or $50 a day, were con-
sidercd soft" and workers In ship
yards were classed as exceptionally
well paid laborcrs. but Iowa, always
first affords even greater opportunities,
altho the corn-fed lowan knows the
munitions plants only from magazine
article descriptions and has but u
hazy idea Of the character OF ship
yard.
But even the most expert munition
makers or ship yards craftsman, ac-
customed as They were tc extravaganza
prices, ever dreamed Of knocking out
SlT6 a day.
A Marshall county farmer living
near Gilman, worked thirty minutes
on a job which required no special
training and no money investment, and
received for his labor $i4.
Technically. the line OF work in
which he was engaged might have
been classed Ss pole cat extermina-
ton, and so proficient was the laborer
in his peculiar line that he completed
one job, removing one entire family
from its hole, in half an hour lie
brought the eleven skins to this city
and received a check for $4i. The
check was turned over TO a local cloth
Ter in payment of a $3.50 fur coat
and not skunk hide either-and the
happy farmer went home with $3.50

actress, Clara Elizabeth Taylor.
Mrs. Stirling replied with n counter-suit,
accusing her husband of intimacy with the
fascinating Mrs. Atherton. The trial
brought an astonishing revelation of tho
habits Of Il class Of society that included
noblemen and chorus girls. Mrs Stirling
complained of finding her husband sitting
in Mrs. Athertons lap late at night, but

vided between July and November to

dreds of thousands OF dollars worth

QUESTION NO. 4.
Is it true that gift tobacco was sold
at Y. NJ. C. A. canteens overseas?
1t is true that in few cases gift
tobacco was sold by mistake at Y. NJ
c. A. eanteens, and the circumstances
are these. The New York Sun, the
Chicago Tribune, and possibly other
parties shipped tobacco to France, in
care of the quartermaster, with the
intention of having it distributed free
bacco, because cases were not proper
ly marked were sold to the Y. NJ. c. A.
by the quartermaster and retailed in
certain Y. NJ. C. A. canteens to soldiers
at the price paid the quartermaster.
Later when soldiers came to open
these parcels they foun din them evil
dence that they had been intended for
free distribution. In every case where
these were returned to the Y. M c. A,
it furnished an equivalent amount Of
tobacco from it's own supplies. The
New York Sun states that they have
investigated several stories of this
wind and found the facts to be as
stated above. The quartermaster con-
cerned has also investigated the mat
ter and fully eXonerates the Y. NJ. G..
A. Mr.. Sloane, the chairman of the
National War Work Council of the Y.
NJ C. A, who has recently returned
from overseas, was told while there
by the chief of staff, S. 0. S., that the
Y. M. c. A. was not tot blame in this
matter and that the quartermaster
himself had sold to the soldiers these
same packages of tobacco intended
for free distribution, being entirely ig-
norant of the fact that they had been
sent over for free distribution.
QUESTION NO. 5.
Is it true that ministers of religion
in the service of the Y NJ c. A. over
seas refused to attend to the material
wants of soldiers until these soldiers
had answered questions as to their
spiritual attitude or condition?

such a case. Moreover, have made

Mr.. McTyier has sent copies of the
pamphlet to several former acquaint,

DIR. Motifs reply to the critics of the
associations overseas work follows:
QUESTION NO. /.
Is it true that the Y. M. C. A. has
failed to keep in touch with the
wounded and ill? In this connection
it is charged by wounded and i'll men
that they saw no Y. M. c. A. workers
from the time they entered the hospi.
tai.
In order to prevent any duplication
of effort overseas, an agreement was
.Eeached between the American Red
Cross and the Y NJ C. A This pro-
vided that the American Red Cross
should concern itself primarily with
the care of the wounded and the i'll;
the Y. M. c. A. and kindred organiza-
tons, with the well 1t is perfectly
possible that a wounded or i'll man
might see no Y. NJ. c. A. worker from
the time he entered the hospital until
he left. This might lead to the sup
position that the Y. NJ. c. A. was cold
and unfeeling where, as a matter OF
fact, it was simply living up to an
agreement. At the invitation of the
Red Cross, for some hospitals over
seas, the Y. M. c. A. still provides its
activities for the patients.

where the young and physically fit
