"SLACKER" WAS OFFICER
First "Slacker List Published in
Chicago Was Boomerang-Pub-
LEGATION Stopped Now.

Chicago, May 1.-THE discovery
that William Sutherland Bacon, the
first man named on the first Stacker
list" released at Fort Sheridan, had in
reality been a lieutenant colonel and
commander of the chemical warfare
service at Lake Hurst, n. j., has prac-
tica1ly stepped further publication of
the list in the local daily press.
Three Chicago newspapers an
nounced today that until greater ac-
curacy is attained in the lists, publica-
ton would not be made. Mr.. Bacon,
it has been ascertained was not only
guiltless of the Stacker charge, but
had a conspicuous record as a volun-
teer in the service, rising from the
rank of private to that of lieutenant
colonel. He is a member of the Amer
lean Legion with his residence given
as New York.

AN APPRECIATION
Contributed

W w
In Appreciation of Mrs. Nellie
Lusk:
1T was a sad yet very appreciative
throng that filled the Baptist church
last Sunday afternoon. There had
slipped out of life very quietly in
deed one who had sought .no public
ity, one who had made no effort TO
secure recognition of her work
among US. Yet at the last there came
the appreciation deep and strong of
the life that had gone its way into
the other world.
I'm an infinite number of ways she
had made her influence felt yet al.
ways urobtrusively. The apprecia.
ton of those in her own home, of
those who were fortunate to have
some acquaintance with that home,
and of the small circle of old time
friends were all of the reward asked
or expected. Beyond this was the
personal consciousness of giving
ones best in all of the duties OF the
daily living.
Modern living has loststo us some.
thing OF the worth of the old time
home, but all of that has been lost on
ly for the time. In so many ways we
need TO recover that old time home
life. 1t is in lives such as hers and
In messages such as that from the
pulpit and in song such as the singers
voiced that afternoon that comriuni-
ties find inspiration for whatever Of
the years await us personally"

FARM LABOR DISCUSSED.
THREE STATES REPRESENT
ED AT MEETING
Plan Cooperation In Seeking
Help To Seed and Harvest
Crops
IAssociated Press pispatchl

St. Paul February 23.-Three
northwest states will CO. operate in
seeking farm help to seed and har-
vest their crops prevent violent
fluctuations in the price of farm labor
and guarantee that terms offered b.
labor agencies conform exactly with
those made by farmers, it was de-
,eiinlned at conference 1t mhe.
on, Mimi. OF representatives Of
Farm Bureau declarations.
North and South Dakota and Min
nesota Farm Bureau declarations
were represented at the conference
which was called not only to stabil-
lie farm labor conditions, but TO pro-
vide a means Of getting more help
more eXpediently. The report Of the
conference received at the st. Paul
headquarters OF the Minnesota farm
bureau states the organization in no
way is fixing a price for farm labor,
but for the handling of the problem
more expeditiously.
The plan adopted and submitted to
the three states calls for use oil local
labor as much as possible, and for
CO. operation between The state Iea-
erations and the county farm bu
reaus.
Prevent Fluctuations
AS one means of preventing Yio-
lent fluctuations in wages. and offer
ing larger number Of men steady
employment with fair pay, the con-
ference proposed that various county
form bureaus, on the eighth day Of
each month, notify the state farm
bureau federation oil the wages being
paid and the supply and demand for
farm labor in the respective coun-
tries. In the busy seasons, weekly
reports of wage fluctuations were
recommended.
IT was also recommended that the
three states compile these records
received in their respective head
quarters to be supplied to neighbor
ing states, to serve as clearing house
in the matter for the entire northwest.
The conference also urged upon
labor agencies that they give all Ia
borers full information received from
farm bureau declarations, regarding
prevailing wages and the supply and
demand OF work, and to adveI Use
orders for farm help in accordance
with the terms of the order received
from the farmer. L. Z. Potter, presi-
dent of the Minnesota fedeI alton,
heartily approves the recommends
tions of the conference.
