Following Rccommondntions by Gov ernor Glynn of New York, Labor Bureau Sends' Jobless Men to Farm ere, Who Find Great Difficulty In Obtaining Laborers. .MAltwiuy. NT. Y. In Ills efforts to solvo the prohlein of providing labor for the vnst army (if unemployed men In Now York and In order to set nn example for oilier cities wlicre similar Indus trial conditions exist Governor Glynn nnd his investigators linvo lilt upon a novel scheme and one which. It Is hoped, will In n measure solve the vex ing question. Investigators for the state get Into communication with farmers who need farm hands. Their expenses nro pnld to the farms, and the men accept Jobs that pay from .$20 to $35 per month, In eluding hoard. This was the first practical applica tion qt Governor Glynn's plan of solv ing the problem of unemployment In the cities nnd meeting the unprece dented demand for labor In the rural districts. Two car loads were shipped first under the direction of C. V. Iarmon, deputy stale commissioner of Photo by American Prcsii Association. a W. liAUMON. agriculture, in chnrge of the stnto't labor bureau, and It Is expected that they will be followed by many more before the supply In Now York city la exhausted. The fnrmors round about Fonda, N. Y were on hand to offer the men Jobs as soon as they arrived. A part of the courthouse was Hot aside to ac commodate the Influx of farmers and Job hunters, and the local grangers made all the other arrangements for the bringing together of the men who want work and tho men who want workers. Two or three of thoso who started nro marrlod men, and they were per uiltted to take their wives with them, as there. Is opportunity for women to get work on the farm as bouse work ers. "I have every reason to believe that this plan will succeed," said Larraon. "Most of these men nro honest men very eager for work. Tho vngrnnts and tho perennial out-of-works don't care to go out Into tho country to work on n farm. Of course, 1 am not ego tistical enough to think that this Is go ing Immediately to remedy the whole unemployment question In New York, but even If we only send up state 4.000 or G,000 men It will help. "Just ns the supply of In borers Is greater In the city this year than ever before the demand for lalxirers In the country Is greater than in any year I can renit'inber. As soon ns the labor ers arrive In these places they will bo met by an agent from the department of ngrlcultuni and they will bo at work n few hours later. We nre scudlng, naturally, only such men ns we nro satisfied will nmko good on tho farm. "What we' are doing In the majority of cases Is simply correcting the fault tho men made when they drifted to tho city. Wo nre carrying them "back again from where tboy started and, contrary to n prevalent belief that they won't want to go. they are enthusiastic about It.

Under the now scheme I he n tmos of farmers and truck j-.rowe.s w.lllng to supply their produce In lutall quanti ties by parcel P'ist v til be obtained by the postodlce depart .ncnt. This nnnouncemei t followed closely the order of the postmaster general per mitting the use of crates and boxcj for parcel post shipments of butter. c:gs, poultry, vegetables and fruit. At first the now system will b" put Iny- eticct In ten cities of varying wn.n- tho workings will bo closely studied.. Later It will be extended to all towns In tho country. The scheme will be Inaugu rated first at Boston, Atlanta, St. Tiuls, San Francisco, Washington, Ihtltlmoro, Detroit, Lacrosse, Wis.; Lynn, Mnss., and Hock Island, III. Postmasters Will Receive Orders. The postmasters of these points have been directed to receive tho names of persons willing to supply farm produce In retail quantities by parcel post Printed lists of their names, showing In each case the kinds nnd quantities of commodities avnllnble. will be pre pared from tlmo to time for distribu tion to city nnd town patrons who wish to buy farm produce direct. Housewives need have no hesitancy In ordering their goods direct, from the producer, in tho eyes of tho postal of ttclals, who cite the fraud laws as n guarantee. Complnlnts of swindling would be Investigated immediately by the postotllce Inspectors, nnd the pro ducer, if guilty, would bo punished. This scheme will eliminate the mid dlemen, often two or three for n sin plo article, it Is said, and thus enable tho purchaser to buy much more cheaply. Government experts, after recent Investigations, held that tho middlemen nisj tho ones who nro keep ing the prices of foodstuffs so high. No More Going to Market. "By tho use of the printed lists of producers the city consumer will bo able to get in touch with a fnrmer who will fill hla weekly orders for but ter nnd eggs and other farm produce," snld Daniel C. Itoper, first nsslstnnt postmaster general, "The consumer will receive the produco fresh from the country, nnd the personnl relationship established will no doubt tend to Im prove the quality. Tho farmer will bo relieved of carrying his produco to market, ns the rural carrier will make daily collections at tho farmer's own door. "The point has been raised that dif ficulty will bo experienced In the re turn of hampers and other containers. This problem does not nppcar to me to bo dllllcult of solution. The fnrmer may use Inexpensive hampers whose value would not warrant their return, or ho may uso the higher grade ham pers., for which he may include nn ad ditional charge to bo credited to tho consumer upon tho return of the ham per by parcel tost. "Tho postmaster general has the firm conviction that this plan Is the one thing necessary to enable the people of thbi country to enjoy tho iwtentlal benefits of the parcel post No one tins ever questioned the possibility of reducing the cost of living by estab lishing direct relatlous between the ultimate consumer and the original producer." Gjntlemen of Leisure. One of the tipper ten thousand, once visiting America, accepted the hospi tality of n gentleman In New York. When taking farewell of his hot the latter nsked Iilm what he thought of the American people. "Well," answered the nobleman, -"I like them immensely, but I miss some thing." "Whnt is that?" asked tho Yankee. "I miss the aristocracy," replied the CiiKllxhmnu. "What nro they?" naively anted his uftsl. "The aristocracy!" snld tho noble man in il souiowlijit surprised tone of voice.

The Incident Took the Fright Out of the Raw Recruit. An old soldier, telling how nervous bo was before his llrst battle, said: "1 was Feared through nnd through, and 1 besides that 1 was scared for fear Somebody else would llnd It out I was nineteen, nnd I've often thought that if it hadn't been for n little thing that happened to dlftraet my mind while i we wero on the nvirch, my legs never would have carried me to the front "Wo were In camp and Just getting ready to hnvconr dinner, when orders Mime for us to hury forward and Join a brigade that w,is to engage tho enemy.

At first I was looking round for n haystack to scoot for nnd hldo In. but nfter a time 1 began to get In terested In the left hnnd overcoat pocket of Piper, tho man in front of mo. "It looked to mo as If there was something very much olive in thnt pocket Every now nnd then Piper would, clnsp ids baud over It nnd I could hear stifled noises from the depths of the pocket that made mo suspicious. Tho lieutenant heard them, too, for twice ,ho turned round nnd looked fierce enough to eat us. "By nnd by, when Piper was off his guard, the thing poked Its. bead out far enough to screech: 'Cut! Cu' riper he squelched the second cuf cut it in two. you might say, but the lieutenant henrd something and ho looked round'and shouted, 'Silence In tho ranks there!' "The men near Piper snickered, but nothing more happened till tho order came down the line to shift our guns to the right shoulder. Then, of course. Piper bad to use both hands, nnd tho minute he let go of his pocket out scrambled ns mad a pullet ns you ever saw, and when she'd flopped on to tho ground she scurried nway, screeching, 'Cut! cut! cah-dab-cutl' at the top of tocr lungs. Well, the captain couldn't help bearing that, and nnturally ho looked baclt to see what the row was, und when he saw what had happened ho sung out nt the top of his voice: " 'Corporal Davis, take three men nnd bring back that deserter!' "That made everybody feel middling cheerful, but those who knew whero the chicken had come from got n real good laugh when .Plpcr put bis hand. Into his pocket and pulled out a new laid egg. Honestly, I forgot all about being afraid after that"- Youth s Com panion. Helping tho Brldo. When .Mrs, Blank, who had alwnyf lived near the coast, was married' she went to live In n small Inland town. Shortly after her arrival she called on her butcher nnd ordered n qunr't of Fcalbips.
