BOYS URGED
TO ENROLL IN WORK.
ING RESERVE
Task of Rebuilding Belongs to
Youth of Nation

Secretary of Labor w. B. Will
son i'm letter recently received by
Governor John G. Townsend urges
upon boys of 16 years of age and
over, especially those not per-
manently employed, the necessity
of enlisting in the United States
Boys Working Reserve during Ma
tional Enrolment Week, begin
ming January goth. The Secretary
says:
''The Importance of setting aside
a special week in order to bring to
the attention of the young men of
the nation the all but overwh elm
ing needs of Impoverished Eu-
rope, is SO obvious as to require no
accentuation from me. A very
large part of the task of rebuild
ing the devastated world belongs
to the young men of this nation. 1t
is not enough that the whole ma
tion shall have been modified to
win the great war; hit is vital that
the whole nation shall be mobiliz-
ed to help broken Europe to its
feet and to set it once more into
the paths of a felicitious progress.
"The United States Food Admin
iIstrator has told us that in spite
of everything we can do, or of all
that the rest of the world can do,
starvation for millions of persons
in Russia is imminent. The dis
orders among the liberated peo-
piles of Europe, news of which
comes to us daily, multiply the diff
ficulties of the situation and in
crease the need.
Il trust that the young men of
the country of 16 years of age and
over, not permanently employed,
and especially tie boys in our high
schools, will respond to this new
appeal as they so finely responded
to that other appeal made to then
one year ago; that they will enter
heartily into the wor of bringing
relief to populations appalhngly
destitute; and that they will joir

NEW YEAR
OBSERVANCES
Many Customs Ossociated
with this Day

Numerous customs and tradi-
tions have grown up around the
entrance of the New Year. While
nature makes no difference be-
tween this and other days of the
year, it seems peculiarly fitting
that some ceremony should mark
the birth of each new year. Since
the beginning of our national life,
the change of date has been OBJ
served with appropriate celebra-
tions. The nature of the day-the
casting off of old account to the
hopeful beginning of all things
new-made the custom of ex-
changing friendly greetings pc
culiarly fitting.
This social observance lis said
to have originated with the Dutch
in New York state. In the South
the day was observed with much
social splendor. The old home,
steads were thrown open and the
whole social world met to ex
chang greetings and good cheer
This was formerly considered. the
proper time for coming out" anc
debutantes blossomed forth on this
day.
The custom of shooting in The
New Year seems to have original
ed in Phila delphia just after The
revolution, while the custom Of
parading in fantastic costume, still
adhered to with such elaborate
display in the Quaker City is sait
to have had it's beginnings in New
York about the time the Civil Wa.
came to a close.

Children Try Co.
operative Farming

School children of yellow Grass
have organized themselves for an
experiment in cooperative farm
ing. They recently formed a COM
pany which they named the Co.
operative School Association, all
the stock of which was purchased
by the boys and girls with their
pin-money and savings. Then they
purchased an acre and quarter
of land from the Canadian Pacific
Railway under it's long-term, easy
payment plan. The cost was $35,
10 per cent down and the remand
er in twenty years at 6 per cent
interest. This is the plan under
which the Canadian Pacific sells
farms to settlers, but the road of
ficials agreed to sell a baby farm
to the baby farmers. The land is
on the outskirts of town and nea,
the school.
The children propose to plant
their farm to potatoes next year
They will pillow the land, cultivate
it, harvest and market the crop and
share the profits. During the win.
ter, they will make a special study

and it was hoped that they could be
retained and worn without any re-
strictions.
Discharged soldiers also will be re-
quired to look carefully after their
personal appearance while they are
wearing the uniform. There will be
no relaxation of the rule that a SOL
der must be neat and clean in ap-
pearance, and as far as the applica-
ton of this rule is concerned the dis
charged man will be considered as a
soldier in the service as long as he
wears the uniform.

MUST WEAR
ENTIRE UNIFORM
Discharged Soldiers Can Not
Wear Favorite Articles
(From the Bayonet.)

(From the Bayonet.)
Enlisted men who are discharged
from the service will be allowed to
wear the regulation uniform of the
United States Army for three months
after their discharge. In this connec-
ton it has been pointed out that if, the
uniform is worn at all it must be worn
in its entirety. The dress require
ments of the discharged soldier during
the period that he wears the service
uniform will be the same as those now
in effect at Camp Lee and other can
tonments.
For instance, it was explained that
a man will not be allowed to wear
military coat and pants with civilian
overcoat, or vice versa; neither will he
be permitted to wear army shoes or
campaign hat in connection with civil
ian dress. The collar insignia buttons,
designating the arm of the service to
| which the soldier has been connected
must be worn in their proper places.
When a soldier is given his dis
charge, said an officer who is familiar
with the plans of rehabilitation, he
is released from military service, but
to a certain degree, he is held to be
| amenable to military discipline. Mill.
tary courtesies that have been de.
manded of him during his service
such as the saluting of superior Off
GERS, will be expected of him as long
as he wears the uniform, regardless Of
the discharge.
These disclosures, no doubt, viii
upset the plans of many soldiers wht
expect early divorce from the service
because certain parts of the uniform
have appealed to their fancy, and the!
intended making these articles Oh
wearing apparel part of their civil
ian dress. The fact that the men vii
not be allowed to wear an army over
coat with a civilian suit will caus,
general disappointment. The regula

methods of cultivating and fertil-
izing them.
"You can bet it won't take us
kids any twenty years to pay for
our farm" said Sandy Macdougal,
fifteen years old, one of the direct
ors in the association. "Plenty of
farmers in western Canada have
paid for their farms with ONE crop
of wheat and we propose to pay
for our farm with ONE bumper crop
of potatoes. When we begin to
make money, we will invest it in
more and in a few years we expect
to be running a regular man-size
farm. Watch u.s."

Y. w. G. A. OPENS
HOSTESS HOUSE AT
SAN JUAN
Pioneer Movement in Porto
Rico a Marked Success

1\tSo q lFldI hCd ouSSCSS
The pioneer advent of the Y. NJ.
| C. A. into Porto Rico has proved a
lbig success, according to Miss
Harriet A. Dunn, the Buffalo girl
and Blue Triangle secretary sent
there last August to open a Y. w.
C. A. Hostess House at San Juan,
the capital of the island.
Miss Dunn has just returned to
the States, preparatory to round
hing off a few odd jobs before sail
ling for France, where she will do
Blue Triangle work during the re-
construction period.
Soon after the government open
ed Camp Las Casas, five miles out
of San Juan, lit was decided that
Y. w. G.. A. was needed to care for
the mothers and relatives of the
boys in training there, and a re-
quest was sent to the National Y
W. c. A. headquarters. Miss
IDunn, who had lived in Porto
Rico at one time and had been
Hostess House director at Camp
| Oglethorpe, Georgia was sent to
San Juan to look into the situation
there.
She arrived in Porto Rico on
August 18th, 1918. On August
10th she had her plans made and
workmen starting the building of
the two Y. w. c. A. Hostess
| Houses now fourishing there, one
| for white troops, and one for color
ed. On the Goth of September she
moved in and opened house to the
boys and their visitors, thereby
establishing a record for speed and
efficiency and causing the natives
to marvel at Yankee energy.
The formal opening, ON Colum-
bus Day, was thronged with visit
ors and men, sitting about i'm cool,
attractive rooms or on the wide
porches which look out upon the
Atlantic. The houses were set in
grove of palms, and were painted
white, making a bit of homelike
cheer for the men who were under
going the monotonous drill at
camp.
From the first the houses were
success, and marked the coming
of the Y. w. G. A. to the island,
since there had been no Blue Tri-
angle work in Porto Rico hereto
fore. Volunteer workers from San
Juan and neighboring towns gave
their services to the House, and
cards were sent among the men,
stating that the Y. w. C. A. and
these workers would do mending
for the boys. An immediate and
deluging response came in, and
, needles flew piecing together rents
and even cutting down shirts
that were too large for the slim
and muscular Porto Ricans from
the hills. Many of these men had
never worn shoes, and they came
to the Hostess House with tales of
woe, after a camp hike, and were
cheered with tea and cakes and
American delicacies which made
an instant appeal to- the Porte
Rican palate.
AIT first, the cafeteria caused
