THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1618. THE SPRINGFIELD NEW PAOK & WOMEN. CAN HELP GOVERNMENT WIN How to Assist In Solving the Farm-Labor, Problsm; . Many Ways to Rtfldsr'-iSsrvfcf. Wlillo women can do much la the olutlon of tbo complex nnd nUicr pressing farm-labor problem, It should bo understood that, the man power of the countrr la not yet exhausted and that, except for certain lighter taski, men aro better Adapted thun women for farm labor. On account of Uio domanda for la bor In nocoBBary Industrie, und be cAuno for many yoara pant tho cltlea with tholr attractions of high wages and ntnuaoinonu lmvo drawn muny men from tho farms, thcra' la not ntixi enough labor seeking employment to NUpply the domand of the farina for extra holp, 'especially during the periods of aeaBonnl strain for culti vating and harvesting. Whllo much la bohiR done by tho Departments of Agrlculturo and of Labor, to mobilize man power for farming operations, much yet remains to bo done If wo aro to make sura tho aavlng of the crops which aro now, being planted. vMutt Assume Responsibility. Tho primary responsibility must bo aisumod by tho regions and communi ties; most vitally affected, because no money of government can create la bor or compel men to purauo any par ticular vocation. In all towns and cltlea adjacent to agricultural reglonn thoro nro many men of farm experi ence who can bo spared for a day at a tlmo or n week at a time, na tho case may bo, to holp tho farmers with tholr most pressing tasks, jn many such towns and cities last year men wero spared from ordinary buslncsH anil Industry, from otllcoa and shops, und crops wero cultivated nnd har vested which oihurwlso might lmvo Buffered sorlouH losa. Such adjust ments must bu made thin year and un doubtedly will bo mado when tho communities affected come Into a full realization of tho neccHHltloH of tho case. in releasing tho mon of farm exper ience In tho cities for farm Inhor, many women can bo utilised to tnko their placoa for a fow dayH at u time or" Tor a whole BertUon. GonS'rally upoaklng, It will bocomu more and more necessary for womon to take tho places of men In nil occupations. How Women Can Help. in nddltnon to rellovlng Miion In towns and citlca, womon can actuully perforin many farm -ta8kft, such as dairying, vegetable cultivation, fruit gathorlng, etc. Tho precise mothod of utilizing women for furm labor can not Uo proscribed In any uniform plan, but it will dopond upon conditions In tho community, nnd upon tho farms. Of course, ateps must bo taken to seu that women laborers are properly housed and otherwise are safeguarded from unnecessary hardships. Wo men who nro not physically ablo to perform farm labor may bo of great service to farmors by nBcortalnlng Uiolr neoda for lnbor and endeavoring to supply such noeds. organized groups of women oagor to render pub lic sorvloo might well undertake by personal visitation to make Hur.voys ot tho farm-labor situation in tholr neighborhoods. Moro holpful oven than that In many places would bo for somo of tho womon of tho towns nnd cities to tako tho placoa of tholr country sisters during tho porlodB of labor stress and actually do tho house work In order that tho women of tho farms may holp thor husbands) Somo of tho finest of our Amorlcnn women nro cooking nnd washing dishes In tho hospitals of Franco. Tho women ot France are botwoon tho plow handles. No good woman would hesitate to keep house for her sick friend for a week. It would bo bonutlful sorvlco It city women would keep house for country women for a llttlo while. Of course, this la not as attractive or as romantic as binding up tho wounda ot soldiers, but It la ono of tho things that must bo dono It tho soldiers are to be fod. It docs not seems to bo possible td work out any uniform plan ot mobiliz ing farm labor or of directing tho em ployment ot womon on farmB. Tho Important thing, Ib to get thq. probletn fairly, beforo thq American people1 and especially . beforo tho community groupB. Whon a group; pf "Americans, whother of mon or womon undor- REMEMBER THE TUSCANIAJUYA BOND stand a problom or realize a necessi ty, they may bo doponded upon to yolvo the problem and to moot the necessity in the boat possible way.

Hart, of moving picture famo, is one of the enthusiastic ad vocates for a general response to the Govornmont'a appeal for subscrip tions to Its Liberty Loans. Here Is what Hart aajrs: "Every American who has accepted tbo great blessing that God bu given and has lived the, large and free llfo bought by the blood of many brave and devoted men, and passed on to us a priceless heritage, has a chance now to repay. "It Is for him at this instant to testify to the world what he knows he owoa.hls country. "Ho should at once, and cheerfully, givo a llttlo of his goods that his .country has secured to him. "Ho should promptly say1 to the world, which Is listening, and perhap cynically criticising: 'When my coun try asks mo for life or for money I cheerfully offer both.' "Ho should demonstrate that pa trlotUm is something greater and moro sacred than an idle sentiment "And In contributing according tc his means for the high purpose placed .before him by his President, ho should appreciate that in reality he is mak ing no gift, but Is Investing in the Greatest security In the world THE PLEDGE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA." A BADGE OF HONOR A Llborty Loan button Is a badge ot honor. Rightfully obtained It marki tho wearer as one who has performed a distinct, definite service to the country. Not all can fight, not all can work directly tor tho Government; but In buying a Liberty Loan Bond, or War Savings Stamps, every Amorlcan ren ders somo service to tho nation. It has boon put within the reach and power ot every clUzen to aid tho United States financially; It Is" a poor Amorlcan who withholds support from tho Government, from our soldiers and sailors fronting death on battlefields and oceans. Iron crosses to German soldiers, and diamond orders exchanged be tween Turkish and German sovereigns may be but tho honors of atrocity. Out n Liberty Loan button, simple as It is, signifies a patriotic duty dono and Ib an Insignia ot honor. ' HIGH SCHOOL rJOTEf' ' t . , j ' By Beatrice Helbroek. ...
