Progress Reported By Union Incentive System Committee

The Union Incentive System Committee, consisting of Peter O'Malley, chairman; Union presi- dent, Arthur c. Ward; business agent, Harold w. Cruise; Frank Scully, and Attorney Charles Suis- man, held several conferences with the management last week in an effort to arrive at changes in the bonus system.
 The system, which was used for January. February and March was on a three months trial basis, ac- cordfng to the Union contract. It was subject to changes which. if agreed upon and made, will be re- troactive to April 1.
 As a result of persistent pres sure by the Union Incentive Com- mittee, the management has al- ready agreed to several changes of great importance to all workers. The Company has already ex- pressed a willingness to use two new methods of figuring variable factors. These changes, based on January, February and March fig ures, should result in a monthly bonus increase of at least go.
 However, the Union Incentive Committee is not satisfied that this will adequately correct the system and is working on some new angles for its improvement and perfection. These changes have delayed announcement of results for April, and will result in delay in paying the April bonus. How ever, there are complete records being kept on whatever Is being earned, and whenever an agree ment is reached, the money Is sure to be paid.

AediterraDean war.


 The beachhead Is really like a little island. Everything has to come by water Without a steady Bow of food and ammunition, the Deachhead would perish. All this concentration of shelling and bombing against the Anzio- -Nettuno urea Is for the purpose of hinder ing our movement of supplies. They have hindered it some, I can't give you the percentage, but you'd be Surprised how low 1t Is. They cer- sa1nly haven't hindered us enough. The mechanics of supplying the Fifth Army forces on the Anzio 6eachhead are undeniably beauti- xu1 in execution.
 We have taken Q port full of ennken ships and jumbled streets and wrecked buildings and cleared enough paths through 1t for the movement of our ships and vehl- 0les.

Foresight

If you can wear your goggles when
 about you Shopmates are doffing theirs-and
 scOffing, too; If you can shield your sight
 though they deride you, And bring the right example into
 view, While they ignore the hazards with
 derision; If you can guide them so they "see the light" Yours is the gift of foresight and
 true vision, And-what is more - you guard
 your own eyesight.

Farm Notes

Starkville, AIiss.-The sharp in
crease in dairying in states like
Mississippi in the past ten years,
was the prime reason why Ameri-
can dairymen were able to reach
huge wartime production goals,
Wilbur G. Carlson of the Kraft
Cheese Company, Chicago, declared
here recently.
Speaking at the Fieldman's Short
Couhse held at Mississippi State
College. Carlson pointed to the fact
that Mississippi produced more
than 1850, 100000 pounds Of milk in
1913, and dairying contributed 500
100000 to Mississippi farm income.
Production goals Of 118 billion
pounds Of milk would have been
considered impossible few years
ago" Carlson declared. "But for
the increased Importance of this
greatest of all businesses in South
ern states in recent years, we might
have been sadly lacking in this
vital food"
Carlson stressed the need for in
creasings emphasis on quality work
on the farm. urging the feldmen to
cooperate closely in helping pro-
ducers to higher levels Of sanitation
and production efficiency. The ma
tons dairy farmers are asked for
even more milk in 1915 than in
1914, he pointed out, adding that
only by close attention to all de-
tails Of efficient production can this
goal be met.
The future holds good promise
for expanded markets for dairy
farmers, he said, with distributors
concentrating on new products, new
uses for all fractions of milk and
neW types and packages OF cheese.
Such things as powdered whole
milk, ice cream mixes and increas-
ed use of powdered non-fat dry milk
solids in bakery and other items
should assist in creating greater

Although the club has not been able
to receive any shipments of squirrel
this year for restocking purposes,
there is still some hope that the game
farms will be able to fill our needs.
The fact that great many squirrels
can now be seen within the limits of
the corporation indicates that it has
been a good year for these frisky
creatures and nimrods will find squir-
rel plentiful in the Bluffton hunting
territory. The campus game refuge
especially has produced a great num-
Der of squirrel this year and there is
no doubt that a good many of these
animals have moved out of the reserve
into the timber in the vicinity of
Bluffton The club now manages and
maintains game refugees in the Bluff
ton hunting territory. The refugees
were established for the protection of
squirrel and raccoon.
