Sweet Potato Syrup
Manufacture Urged

Wanted-some ono to start g. sweet
potato syrup plant.
It's your Uncle Sam who had
broadcast that classified ad." His
specialists, after much experimental
ton. have decided that a very good
syrup. for use on the table. for
cooking and in the manufacture of
such candles as taffy. kisses and
caramels. can be made prof1tably on
commercial scale from otherwise
unmarketable crops.
Because these sweet potatoes are
either overgrown or understood, or
because there Is, a larger crop than
the market can absorb there is an
nually great economic waste,
which Uncle Sam thinks ought to be
turned into good, palatable syrup.
His specialists have done all the
work to prove the scheme entirely
practicable and profitable. Plans for
a sweet potato syrup plant have been
worked up, and all you have to do Is
take advantage of the opportunity
Uncle Sam points out.
And. Uncle Sam shows you both
sides of the picture. He tells YOU
quite frankly that the use of sweet
potato syrup is limited by it's cost of
manufacture as compared with that
of other commonly used syrups, but
in any emergency. when the price of
sugar and syrup is greatly increased,
1t might be possible to manufacture
this syrup profitably and to the ben
eft of American agriculture. It has
one strong feature, that 1t Is suitable
for use in blending with other syrups
to prevent capitalization.
About a gallon and half Of syrup
can be made from flfty-pound bushel
OF sweet potaot surplus, according to
.wo years experim entS.

cepted and found satisfactory by
many employers. It has been tried
and discarded by still other employ
ers. 1t has been made effective as to
industries and given continent-wide
application by q number of interna-
tional trade unions. in some Instances
OF employers. and in still other cases
only after bitter industrial warfare
extending over long period of time
Federal. state and municipal laws
require not more than eight hours
day on work for the political division
or subdivision, and in many industries
Tor women and children. Some Of the
states prohibit more than eight hours
for men in certain work.
In many Industries unorganized
wage earners now work not more
than eight hours. and this has been
brought about by the general agita-
ton for the eight-hour day. and the
further fact that employers in these
industries have found that their bust
ness does not require more than eight
hours OF the time Of their employees.
Office help is to a great extent on an
eight-hour and In many instances
seven-hour basis.
In a review of the history of the
pressed by the steady advance in the
shortening of the workday from the
not unusual eighteen hours of one
hundred years ago to the standa rd
workday of the present. With the
trade unions 1t has been a long and
persistent agitation that has brought
eventual success. There was first the
education of the workers to the real
ization of the value of the, eight-hour
day from the standpoint of health and
education. There was the fear Of the
reduction OF wages. There were
other specters that had to be dissi-
pated. And then there was the op-
position of employers. overcome IN
some cases by research and expert
ment on the part of the individual
and in other cases by resort by the
wage earners to the strike.
The eight-hour day is here, and will
receive further impetus by its appli-
cation to the work Of making steel.
The agitation for the eight-hour
day has a history of centuries. 1t
came into effect because of the vision
and the sacrifice of millions who did
not live to enjoy it.

Packing Saves Costs
In Shipping Goods

How tremendous savings can be
effected by American manufacturers
and exporters through careful pack
ing-not only by assuring that the
goods will reach their destination In
better condition, but also In the ac-
tual cost of transportation-is shown
by E. S. Gregg, chief Of the trans
portation division of the United
States bureau Of foreign and domes-
tic commerce.
Ocean rates on both light and
bulky articles are based on cubic
measurement. Therefore. in packing
such articles economy Of space
should receive prime consideration.
AS an example of the saving result
ing from economical packing, during
the war $4,000 tons of shipping space
were saved on shipment of 5000
rolling kitchens by the use of spe-
cially designed crate. Likewise. by
adopting bales instead of boxes for
clothing, blankets. etc, the Army
saved approximately $49,0Q0,000 in
freight charges alone.

Cuba has been slow to put into ef-

vocated by Ambassador Crowder, and
when her congress passed the recent
lottery bill, designed to more heavily
burden a tree already well filled with
political plums for administration
favorites, there were many who saw
IN her action a direct affront to the
work of the American representative
at Havana.
When the lottery bill was followed
by passage of the Tarafa railroad
bill indications were that Cuba
wtshed 70 add insult to injury. The
Farafa bill, which became law after
certain notifications agreed upon by
