WOMAN'SLAND ARMY
 PEACE TIME NEED
U. s, Employment Service Takes
 Over Farmerette

New York, March 25.-The Wom- ans Land Army of America, which, with 15,000 'farmerettes' stepped into the breach created in the farm labor situation last year by the na- tional draft has found q peace tim @ need for it's service and will hold it. self in readiness to meet any demands which may be made upon it.
 Af1iliation of the Woman's Land Army with the U. s. Department of Labor through Farm Service divi- sion of the employment service has been effected. The placing of women workers at the disposal of farmers throughout the country will be di- rected by the employment service, while the camps themselves, their policies and standards, will be con- trolled by the volunteer organization, the Woman's Land Army, through it's state divisions.
 The II states reporting q good op- portunity for women and an interest in immediate work are Oregon, Cali fornia, New Mexico, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland. District of Columbia, New Jersey New York. Pennsylvania, Vermont and New Hampshire. Tn 1918 the Woman's Land Army was organized in go states, of which 21 did active work. This year in several well-or- ganized states other than those emu merated the surplus of labor at the present time has made it seem ad- visablc to the Land Army organiza- ton to remain inactive for the pres cnt. holding itself in readiness to do whatever necessary when the surplus labor is absorbed in industry.
 Labor Camps to Help Farmer.
 The Land Army, under the direc- tion of the employment service, will place units of women workers in rural centers wherever there is a de- nand for them. It will be the aim of the Land Army to make its units self supporting to train workers as fully as possible, to standardize the work more thoroughly so as to as- sure to the worker both a sound eco- homie proposition and a very care- fully considered health program with a rigid physical examination both be- fore she enters the Land Army and at the close of her service and with living conditions prescribed according to the advice of experts.
 ''The Womans Land Army is going on for three main reasons" said Mrs. William H. Hubert national director of the organization at her office in New York city These three reasons are, first, to help, with woman labor, ! to overcome the annual seasonal ] shortage of farm labor in the United ! States which is said, by the farm serv- 1 ice division of the employment serv- 1 ice, to run from 100000 to 2,000,- ] 000 hands; second to give to women l the opportunities for agricultural ] work which hundreds are seeking, as evidenced by the applications for such l work which are coming into our Of fees and those of the departn ents ! of agriculture and abor at the aver age rate of 40 day, to say noth- ing of those which are coming into our state offices; third, and inci- ! dentally. to raise the standard of 1

 CAPTAINS SUICIDE
Brooklyn Officer Fires Bullet Into
 Own Body in Hotel

ChlcagO. March 23.--lWO girls and missing check are being considered as possible causes for the suicide of Capt William A. Murray. United States infantry, 29 years old. who shot himself yesterday in his room in the Fort Dearborn hotel with his army revolver and died at the County hos ptal half an hour later.
 "I have lost a check for a large surl of mcney." Capt. Murray said to a chambermaid at about 10:15 yester- day morning Look in the waste paper baskets ,rand sec if you can find it, please"
 When the maid returned to report she had not found the check Murray was lying across the bed. With a. bull let wound from his army. revolver in his temple.
 Home Was at Brooklyn.
 Murray registered at the hotel on March is. giving his address as Camp Grant. His home is at 430 1~2 Cla-s- son avenue. Brooklyn, N. 1. Ec was on his way from South Bond, Ind, to Camp Grant, pursuant to an order from Acting Chief of Staff Frank Mo Jntyre. He was formerly in charge of reserve officers training camps at the University of Pennsylvania and at Notre Dame university.
 The two women in the case an unnamed South Bend girl from whom Murray had just received q love let ter and a Chicago woman, said to be an employe of the hotel, whom Mur- ray twice tried to reach by telephone yesterday morning at her home. This second woman, the detectives say, is Mrs. Arthur W. Chanley.
 Sunday night at o'clock I was in Murray's room,'' she said. No, that was not my t1oor---I just happened to be there. He started to talk to me and asked me about my service pin. I said I wore it for my brother, who is overseas.
 T didn't tell him, either that I was married. But I wanted to talk to my little son and asked Capt. Murray to get my home number on the tele- phone. He called Oakland 5995. and in that way discovered my numbers don't know why he should have tried to call me up
 Mrs. CIanley Worried.
 Mrs. Helen Lorscheider, mother of Mrs. Chanley, came from her home in Springfield last Friday in response to a summons from her daughter in { which she referred to terrible wor- , ries here" These are as vet unex- ] plained,
 President Cavanagh of Notre Dame | university said Murray had been high 1 ly thought of in South Bend since he came here last October After the R. o. T.

 The captain was a regular army 1 officer and rose from the ranks He won his commission at Plattsburg.
 This is my last breath. l leave everything to mother, Mrs. John Murray That's all.'' Murray wrote in note left on his dresser.
 Family Knows No Reason.
 At Capt. Murray's home, 435 1-2 1 CIasson avenue, Brooklyn, last night, | a young man who said he was Capt. Murray's brother stated that all the family knew of the captains death was the notifcati ton from the war de- partment. What caused Capt.

 Unemployed Women Affected.
 Another labor problem which we are helping to solve and which hither to has been largely overlooked is that we shall be helping to supply work to the hundreds of girls and women who have been thrown out of em- ployment by the closing down of war industries and by the displacement of girls in other industries to give work to returning soldiers.
 Moreover, there are always hum dreds of girls in seasonal occupations. such as millinery and the garment trades, thrown out of endowment every year. just when hands are need ed on the farm. Hence we believe that the Woman's Land Army has permanent place and logical place to fill in our national scheme of life"

PAYRoLLs AND IRRIGATION.

A payroll is something every towr
should strive for. 1t gives life to q
place and makes better conditions
The possibility of payrolls should be
given serious consideration by all
public spirited citizens. II we don't
think about such things they are not
likely to materialize. II we don't
have some dreams we are going to be
just "dronelike" and the fellow who
does the dreaming will be getting
away with the "persimmon" some
day. At least that is the opinion of
some fellows and it is worthy of CON
sideration.
What would big sawmill of say
$4,000 feet capacity pey day do
toward making a worthwhile payroll

practical with the production OF
class of output that would stand the
transportation charges out and COM
pete with the world market? This
would invove an outlay of consider
able money to build trucking road

cry to equip an enterprise of that
