- That Old Guy
Mrs Carlco a middle-aged and talk-
ative rurallst was appearing In a suit
brought by her husband She Insisted
on londly commenting on each answer
given by the first witness Repeatedly
the judge requested her to keep quiet
but shg persisted In audibly disputing
the words of the witness Finally the
judge said:
“Mrs Carlco the court demands that
you remain quiet Unless you do so
you will be held In contempt”
Giving the judge a savage look the
woman turned to her attorney and ln-
’qulred :

German Call for Pearls
A particular appeal to German wom-
en owning pearls Is contained In the
following advertisement inserted in the
press by the jewel-hunting officials of
the Relchsbank:
"Bring in Tour Jewels ! Pearls mean
tears But pearls can also dry tears
If yon sacrifice them on the altar of
the Fatherland”
German papers recently received In
London show that no effort Is being
spared to Induce the German public to
turn over Its jewelry for sale abroad
to stiffen the mark exchange rate
which is running so heavily against
Germany

ing auto thieves to prison for limit

HOW WOMEN CAN HELP ON THE FARMS
In the Lighter Farm Work Such as Picking Sorting and Packing Fruits
Women Can Replace and Release Man Power - -
TOWN WOMEN MAY
AID FARM WIVES
May Also Release Men Employed
in Lighter Industries for Ag-
ricultural Work
ALSO AID IN TRUCK FARMING
Not the Policy of Agricultural Depart-
ment to Call Upon Gentler Sex
Until Nation’s Food Produc-
tion la Threatened
Only when the man and boy supply
Is exhausted and the failure of the
nation’s food production campaigns are
threatened should the United States
call upon women to do men’s work on
the farm
That briefly may be said to be the
policy of the United States depart-
ment of agriculture In the matter of
women as farm laborers Badly as la-
bor will be needed to carry through
programs of food production this year
the department does not believe the
situation yet demands the employment
of women for the heavier fanning op-
erations Rather It beUeves that ef-
forts now should be' directed toward
persuading able-bodied men in the cit-
ies to do farm work and that commu-
nity action should be directed to this
end
Work for Women
But there will be work to do for
the thousands of women who are of-
fering to help the farmers with their
big task Helping farm women with
their added duties and taking the place
of men In the lighter Industries thus
releasing male labor for the farms are
Important ways in which women may
tld agriculture’s program department
officials point out Furthermore wom-
en can be expected to help as they
have In the past with the lighter work
of truck fanning In picking and pack-
ing berries and fruit and with much
other light labor of food production
But If a serious labor shortage threat-
ens the harvest of the country’s food
crops the department of agriculture
In co-operation with the department
of labor and other federal and state
agencies will request women to help
meet the situation It has Instructed
Its field agents to aid farmers In ob-
taining women workers when such con-
ditions arise
Among the sources from which ad-
ditional labor may be obtained on the
farms are: (1) from among the wom-
en already on farms (2) from rela-
tives of fanners who are living In cit-
ies and who are willing to work on
farms during slack business or Indus-
trial periods (3) from the foreign
women who are accustomed to work
In the fields under a system of Inten-
sive agriculture before migrating to
this country and (4) from women In
near-by villages and towns who might
be employed on farms and still live at
home’
If In any community It becomes nec-
essary to employ women the princi-
ple problems to be met are to stimu-
late women to take up farm work and
to make farmers realize the necessity
Buttle la Paaae
The bustle influence has practically
subsided and Its only effects are seen
In a loop or wide sash end at the back
Its place haa been taken by the tunic
and aide tunic or very wide panels
front and back These panels should
not be confused with the stringy nar-
row panel floating loose at the bark
which was In wgue when panels were
last seen Panels when referred 4o
at present mean wide ones which real-
ly form the major part of the skirt and
are usually front and back showing
of using woman labor In order to main-
tain production
Wages for Women
The farmer desiring woman labor-
ers should indicate the kind of work
which he wants done the amount and
the probable dates nnd wages offered
and the woman offering herself should
Indicate the kinds of work she Is will-
ing to do and whether she Is willing
to work all day and every day In the
week It should be thoroughly under-
stood by all parties concerned that the
women are to receive a wage equal to
that given men for performing the
same amount of work Wherever pos-
sible this can be brought about by
putting the work on the piece basis --
The function of the home demonstra-
tion agent and the county agent Is to
see that the county exchunge lists all
women desiring work as well as the
farmers desiring women farm workers
If there were a sufficient demand In
certain communities for women one
of the local woman committeemen
might act as the medium of local ex-
change The home demonstration and
county agents will also keep in toneb
with the farm help specialist employ-
ed by the office of farm management
of the department She will be ready
to advise the various committees as
to whether the conditions under which
women work on farms are satisfactory
and not detrimental to their health
and morals
Ready for Spring Drive?
Have you ordered the necessary
farm Implements and machinery lime
fertilizers and the like? If not do
so at once Don't wait until the spring
rush is upon you It may be too late
then to get what you need The Unit-
ed States Department of Agriculture
has been urging farmers to make ar-
rangements early for these materials
this year because of transportation
problems It will soon be too late to
be early
EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN
As a rule the employment of
women in farming operations
should not be considered If the
agricultural production can be
maintained by the employment
of men and boys The depart-
ment of agriculture does not
wish to urge the use of women
laborers on the farms unless the
man supply becomes exhausted
The lively Interest now being
shown by women In all parts of
the country who are eager to
volunteer their services to help
the men and boys carry out the
nation's fod production program
this year has forced the atten-
tion of federal officials to the
fact that needed work can be
done by these willing bands
Women who can help farm wom-
en with their work and who can
release men in the lighter In-
dustries to do the heavier work
on the farms can give valuable
aid In the present labor emer-

The War Lord Salutes the Field
Marshall
Such is the striking title to a well-
timed cartoon in an agricultural pa-
per showing the War Lord in solute'
to the farmer The meaning of it Is-
that without the assistance that the
farmer renders in the matter of pro-
viding food for the army the fighting'
ability of that body would be propor-
tionally decreased While the army
Is fighting the farmer Is busy The-
promptness with which he sprang’
Into the breach was a patriotism equal
to that of the man who enlisted and
the farmer’s record in this particular
was' worthy of the high record that
has become his All over the United
States the appeal Is being met by more-
production Fields are enlarged inten-
sive agriculture has taken the place-
of slipshod methods more cattle are-
being fattened more hogs grown veal
and lamb have become scarce com-
modities This is all In keeping with
the food-controller’s demands and
with the heartiness that is now preva-
lent it would seem as If the require-
ments of the boys at the front and the-
allies in Europe would be fully met
Not only are the tilled acres of the
United States being brought into
requisition bat the wild pasture lands
are doing tribute with their cattle and
sheep Working in conjunction with
the United States Western Canada is
also doing its share and a pretty large
share It Is too By an arrangement
with the United States Government it
will now be possible through its em-
ployment bureau to secure for the
Western Canada fields such help as
can be spared It is thought In this
way Canada will have its help to seed
its millions of acres of wheat land
fairly well met The large number
of young men of the farms who have
enlisted and gone to the front has left
many of the Western Canada farms
weak in the matter of man power
This means that Canada can take ail
that the United States can spare The
wages will be good and the housing
comfortable -
In addition to this the free home-
stead lands of Western Canada offer
the greatest Inducement to the man
with limited means who is willing to
undergo some of the hardships natu-
rally accompanying this enterprise
There is also tbe large Area of uncul-
tivated lands that are waiting the-
man with sufficient means to purchase
and equip And this Is not expen-
sive Tbe lands are cheap and the
terms very reasonable Equipped with
tractor or horse power the cultivation
cost is slight when the return is con-
sidered Yields of wheat varying from
20 to 40 bushels per acre may be re-
lied upon and with a set price of over
$200 per bushel it is an easy matter
to arrive at the cost Production in-
cluding Interest on land has been esti-
mated at figures not exceeding ten
dollars an acre With a twenty bushel
yield at a two dollar price — forty dol-
lars Ten from forty and you hav
the profits many farmers made la
Western Canada tbe past year -
The Dominion and Provincial Gov-
ernments are working conjointly in an
Increased production propaganda
Among the Important steps that have
been taken to bring this about is the
recent order by which it is made pos-
sible to take Into Canada tractors that
cost fourteen hundred dollars and less
In tbe country of production This
will give those residing in the United
States owning lands in Canada the
opportunity to place them under cul-
tivation at much less cost than in the
past Another inducement is the privi-
lege of taking Bheep and cattle in
free of duty Automobiles form a
necessary part of tbe outfit of a good
many farmers that would like to move
to Canada These are now accorded
free duty Provision is also made that
those requiring seed and unnble to ob-
tain It in any other way may get It
from the Government So from this
It will be seen that it is not only the
fertile lands of Western Canada that
