FARMERETTES
ARE REFUSING
TO DEMOBILIZE
DONDON, Nov. 24 (by Associated
Press).—England’s girl farm labor
ers, who enlisted in the government’s
land army during the war to take the
place of men who had gone to the
front, have come to stay—picturesque
slouch hats, corduroys, leggings,
white smocks and alh Government
control of the land army will be with
drawn after the potato harvest, about
November 30, but the new open-air
woman has learned to love her work
so much that she declines to be “de
mobilized.”
The farmers who have employed ef
ficient. Sfgirls are so anxious to retain
them that a voluntary organization is
certain to be set up, it is said, to keep
the army together. There are about
eight thousand girls in the army, and
most of them want to remain on the
land. The ultimate aim of many is a
farm of their own.
Everywhere the girls have won
friends, not only because of their good
work, but by their splendid bearing
in emergencies. Several instances of
devotion and bravery have recently
been rewarded with the Distinguished
Service bar, which is to the land army
what the coveted Victoria Cross is to
the regulars. Among the deeds cited
were the successful treatment of an
animal that had a contagious disease,
the extinguishing of a fire in a barn,
the saving of an old laborer from
death by burning, and the nursing of
a farmer’s child which was suffering
from an infectious illness.

NOME NUGGET FORCED
' TO CLOSE ITS DOORS
FOR WINNTER SEASON
Trappers, miners and others of the
far northwestern corner of the conti
nent who for years have looked to
Nome for their news of the outside
world will receive no regular news
report this winter, as the Nugget,
Nome’s only newspaper, has decided
to suspend publication.
For some time the Nugget has been
the only newspaper in that part of the
world, and for more than a year it
has been the only paper there receiv
inf a daily news report. Now Fair
banks, Alaska, nearly one thousand
miles away, will be the source of news
for this part of the country.
Nome, once one of the largest gold
camps of the North, at one time sup
ported several newspapers. This
year so many people left on the last
steamers that a newspaper would not
pay. George S. Maynard has been
publisher of the Nugget for several
years.
BRITISH PROFITEERS
BEING INVESTIGATED
T,ONDON, Nov. 24 (by Associated
Press).—According to Controller
Hands of the profiteering department _
of the government, every effort is to
be made to track the British profiteer
to his lair. He took as an illustra
tion a complaint that might be made
against a tailor for overcharging for
a suit of clothes.
“The tailor,” he said, “will be
obliged to produce his invoices and
show what he had to give for the ma
terial and for labor. He may contend
that he is not making an unreason
able profit, and it may be found that
he is paying too much for his cloth.
“In that case the central committee, f
which is able to tell almost to a frac
tion of a penny the cost through all
stages of manufacture, will see if the
cloth is too dear. It will be the duty
of the committee, in fact, to trace
every price to its source.”

buttermilk. City Dairy. Phone 187.
