I different states is authorized by the
[ department of labor, through Mrs.
Hilda Mulhauser Richards, chief of
the woman’s division, United States

“The department of agriculture ad
j vises us that their county agents re
port that women will be used in diff
erent occupations in the various
states as follows:
; “In Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minne
sota, Nebraska, Georgia, New York,
and Vermont indications are that
women will be needed in large num
bers to do farm work.
“California, Washington, and Ore
gon will use foreign or colored
“Kansas, New Jersey. New Hamp
shire, Connecticut, and Rhoad Island
wlil use women in fruit packing and
truck gardening as they have in the
past. Virginia will use women for
picking apples and fruit.
“Utah is going to make a drive
for women in their sugar-beet fields.
Kentucky will use women for berry

:
j There is a feeling on the part of
; the county agents of the department
j of agriculture that there ought to be
j no general move to put women on
: the land because the farmers were
j already expressing the opinion that !
there was a move to substitute '
: women for men to do farm work,
and they objected to it. The farm
ers will use men and boys as long
as they are available.
IMIN
SAVINGS STAMPS |
The war-savings fund now has
more than $100 000,000 to its credit j
on the books of the treasury, accord-J
ing to the National War Savings '
committee. The stream of small
savings is now pouring into Uncle !
Sam’s war chest at the rate of $700,- !
000,000 a year, with every indication
that the anticipated rate of $1,680,
000,00 will be attained soon after
the Liberty Loan drive.
The treasury war-savings figures J
| record only the actual cash received,
and not the pledged subscriptions for I
these securities, which it is estimated, ;
are bow in excess of $500,000,000,!
or about one-third of the total issue. ;
The $100,000,000 cash fund now i
in the treasury is the equivalent of!,
24.000,000 of the $5 “baby bonds,”!
or 400,000,000 of the “two-bit” I
thrift stamps. The Government is,
printing 400,000,000 of the “baby!]
bonds,” enough to fill 20,000,000
war-savings certificates.
Although figures are not yet avail- .
able as to the number who are carry- ,
ing thrift cards in their pockets,
and cutting down their own spend
ing, in order that the Government
may spend more, the National War- ,
Savings committee estimates that at j
least 5,000,000 Americans are now I j
enlisted in the war-savings army. J
The minimum goal is 40.000,000 war!
savers. It is expected that 10,000,
000 of these wilt be in the schools.

BELGIAN VILLAGE
10 BE BUILT IN
HAVRE, FRANCE
The newspapers of Havre, reports
Consul Osborne, from that city, have
recently announced that the Ameri
can Red Cross, through the inter
mediary of Maj. John von Schaick,
acting director of the American Red
I Cros for Belgium, has placed the
J sum of 2,000,000 francs at the dis
posal of the Belgian minister of
finance, and that from this fund
an allotment of 500,000 francs has
been made for the establishment of
a Belgian village at Sanvic, a suburb
of Havre.
Land Has Been Purchased.
! The land for this village has been
purchased, and in the near future
the first lot of 100 portable houses
| will be erected. Besides dwelling
houses, there will be a church and
j schools. The village will be con
i nected with the tramway system of
Havre.
i The establishment of this village
has been determined upon as one
important means of meeting the ser
ious shortage of accommodations for
the Belgian refugee population.
It is also anounced that from the
same fund the sum of 600,000 francs
will be devoted to the construction
and equipment of a school colony
in Flanders for the children evacu
ated from the zone of danger close
to the firing line.
HOLDS OUT FOOD
! IN NEW MEXICO;
LOSES ALL OF II
The United States Food Admini
stration announces that it has au
thorized the seizure of large stores
of wheat held in New Mexico by men
of German extraction. They have
consistently refused to sell at the
ruling price, which was fixed by the
Government, and have given no satis
factory explanation of their action,
although they have been urged to
release it in order that the United
States may maintain its program oi
exportation.
Held 350,000 Pounds.
An estimated report placed the
production of these two men—broth
ers trading as farmers and store
keepers under the name of Kem
penich Bros.—at about 100,000
pounds. In addition to this, the fed
eral food administrator for New
Mexico reported they had purchased
about 250,000 pounds, which they
also refused to release from storage.
The food administration has taken
the position that by withholding this
wheat from the trade Kempenich
Bros, are guilty of giving aid and
comfort to the enemy. On this
ground it has authorized the New
Mexican administrator to seize the
entire supply and place it in circu
lation.
Other Cates Reported.
Reports on several similar cases
have been received, but no definite
action has been taken except in this
one instance. The food administra
tion has announced, however, that
where investigation shows unpatriotic
intent the wheat will be seized. Al
lowance wil Ibe made for what is
needed for seeding purposes and per
sonal use.

ARMS THAN WILLARD

Wilalrd was 27 this month. He was

“Help your country”
Says Secretary McAdoo.
“I write to ask you to help your country.
“You can do so and also help yourself in
a very simple manner.
“Many of us can not fight, but every one
of us can help by saving. Every dollar
saved and not spent on unnecessary things
releases that amount of labor and material
to make articles for our Army and Navy.
When a dollar that is saved is loaned to the
Government it is doubly effective.
“To that end Congress has authorized the
sale of War Savings Stamps in denomina
tions of $5 and 25 cents, respectively. Each
War Savings Stamp you buy is a loan to
the United States Government, is a direct
help to every soldier and sailor who is risk
ing his life in the war, and is a safe and
simple way to invest your savings.
“The United States Government pledges
its entire resources and credit to repay this
loan on January 1, 1923, with 4 per cent in
terest.”
