He said. that Germany's apparent success was due to her admirable system of food conserva tion. He said that regardless of the Blze of a country's - army or navy it could not hope to win a war without the necessary food supplies. S. B, Hall told of the appeal that the Presi dent has made to the American farmer as the only one who could help most to win the war. The serious part at the present time is the fact that this year's yield promises to be only 85 per cent of last year's. " He told of the scarcity of farm labor and said that since this was true a National boys' working reserve had been organized, with two divisions, one of the boys over 16 who had had some farm experi ence, and the other of 'boys over 16 that had had no farm experience. The farmers have offered to pay- experi enced boys $27.50 and board and the inexperienced $17.50 ;a month, with board, for the first month. 822.50 for the second month arfd $27.50 for the third month. Mr,1 Hall said that tbe farmers to whom the boys would be sent were .all men of good reputation in their own communities, and that the boys would be treated well. He said he considered three months spent on a farm was worth as much as a year spent in school.

He said that he hoped that many of the boys would respond to the call. , The Girls' League held its last meet ing of the term on Thursday of last week.
