Miss Josephine I ang, of the Nib lick store, is confined to her bed today on account of illness. Some day peace will come. Thousands -millions of men will suddenly be thrown back again into civil life. Consider Iho vastness of the readjustment that will be necessary. Look back at the period of reconstruction after our own Civil War. Prepare f >r this new period of reconstruction. Bogin to save now. Thrift is the need or the present, the hope of the future. Liberty Loan bonds. War Savings, the safest securities in the world, are a wise provision for the day peace comes. I Th. I>i pari men* of I mo.' La:. a: ! >. "l | congress for an appropriation of $2009.<»00 for the maintenance and expa tsion of the United States employment service for the fiscal year ending Juno ' 30, 1919. This sum is requied for the ] execution of the programs of the ent- , ployment service for mobilizing and distributing the nation s labor power. AR of these programs are well under way, and daily more war industries come to rely entirely upon the service for their workers. The appropriation request now is before the house I committee on appropriations. It Is estimated that the Americans 3 of foreign birth or extraction purchased $350,000,000 of the Third LibI erty Loan; the number of such bond • buyers is estimated at over 5,000,000. r A consular telegram from Shanghai, | China, states that subscriptions to the r Third Liberty Loan in Shanghai -' amounted to over $600,000. The Amer- - lean embassy in Mexico City states | that the subscriptions in that city are t more than $384,000, more than double - the quota set for the Americans livt ing there. The Shah of Persia purt chased a SIOO,OOO Liberty bond. No matter what this war costs the ■’government and the people of the United States in the wav of money, it l! is going to be much cheaper to win ■ this war than to lose it. The commercial and financial losses that would 1' follow a German victory are not to he II calculated. All that we spent would eihe lost, indemnities beyond calculation r . would have to be paid, and along with i’■ these losses would come a continuing ’ loss in foreign commerce that would s: spell disaster. With these material | losses we would lose our national lihs | erty and independence, our iKtwer to | s cure our international rights, our k , { right to live in a world ruled by the dictates of humanity and civilization. I- All the dollars in the world can not t buy victory. Victory is not purehasr able it is wott. Dollars can work Tor , victory only in so far as they are con- ? verted into labor and materials. A •■dollar hoarded is a slacker; a dollar •! wasted is a traitor; a dollar saved is . ■ a ratriot, doubly so when loaned to the - government. A hoarded dollar repto- . ]scuts idle rower; a wasted dollar reptj resents wasted power; a dollar saved I represents t>ower saved, lavor saved, » materials saved. Loaned to your gov--1 ernment, it represents power, labor and materials in action, on the firing j line, over the top. Ami more—it repI i resents reserve power, energy stored. | 'purchasing power conserved for its l. owner. II Harry N. Morse, of New York City, ; who has been acting office manager ot j the I’ublie Service Reserve, last week i resigned that position to accept a call | from the Industrial Service section cf : the shipping board. He will have ; charge of the placing of the shipyard I volunteers, enrolled in the Public Serjvice Reserve, and will serve as the ; j point of contact between the employ- ■ meat service and its reserve and the i shipping hoard's industrial service seel ion. Mr. Morse came to Washington last fall to offer his services to the government in any capacity and jis one of the men responsible for the i rapid growth of the reserve. He is a graduate of Cornell University in the class of 1905. A brother was one cf the first American aviators to go overseas. When William Farnum pulls off his coat and rolls up» his belligerent sleeves, all the barometers in the neighborhood indicate an impending storm. They're not wrong. Big Bill is just about the stormiest person on the screen at present, and his spirited fisticuffs are always a delight to see. That is only one reason why “The Heart of a Lion,” Mr. Farnum’s latest William Fox production, is drawing capacity houses to the Crystal theatre, where it is playing tonight. In "The Heart of a Lion.” which is founded on Ralph Connor's widely read novel. “The Doctor." Mr. Farnum | plays the role of Barney Kemper, a farmer who is disappointed in love -aSd seeks the solace of the great, forests. There he meets his brother, who had once sinned against him. He meets also a rough forester who is doing his level best to see thitj Barney's brother is put out of th", way. The conflict between these three men, will: two women embroiled in its’ cnnpUcatloUS. makes one of the fastest moving pictures ever shown in this city. /

BACK TO FARM Will be the Pledge Asked of the Urban Residents FOR CERTAIN DAYS That Farm Labor May be Assured in Season. i Indianapolis, May 17 Agricultural ■ communities of the state arc being organized by the United Mates Public Service reserve In a manner to gunr- ’ antce against a shortage of farm labor ' (luring the months of June. July ami * August, when the greatest danger I from such shortage threatens. It is a voluntary farm labor reserve, upon ■ ' which each community may depend for i the partial solution, at least, of its ■ farm labor problem. The Indiana State Council of Defense and county i ■ councils are assisting in the enterprise. . I The plan involves the pledging. in ' writing, of as many days work on a .'farm, as can bo arranged by the urban I citizen, to be executed as circumstance requires. The pledge binds the volun teer to accept the prevailing wage, ’' scale and to do his work in an efficient | j ami : I’tisfaetory manner. The pledges will be filed at a central point and as! the calls for laborers come in. the agent of the public service reserve will make such assignments as will best conform to the reriuiremertts. | j The plan has the indorsement of th •> | United States department of Labor, j ■ It has been tried in Canada and th" measure of success resulting was sifli? cient to encourage its application gem * erally. Huntington county. Indiana, j ’ was the first community in this statej to undertake it. Huntington county 'jhas organized with Huntington, th" -jeounty scat as the central distributing I i point. Substations also have been es-l * published at Andrews, Bippus. Roanoke ’land the other smaller towns of the ’ | county, telephone exchanges forming ( Lthe limitations. In each community, ! agents of the Public Service reserve ■have canvassed the citizenship, asking 'jfor pledges of "days” for farm work. I ' The result has been a guarantee of ’ mere than 2,000 days. These will he called for as requirements are reportt ed into the reserve agents. Owners . of automobiles have offered the free i-1 use of their machines for the trans Jportation of the patriotic workers. I j Physicians and nurses have offer <1 ■ ■ free use of their professional services ; | ambulances, etc., in emergencies that , may result from exposure to the h >t .' sun. or from accidents incident to the ' 1 work. J The pledges will be solicited, by. agents of the reserve. It is under-' . stood that the signer is not to be call- . cd except there exists an actual need , of ids labor, to further the production] . of essential crops. He also is assure ! ( that he will not be expected to pro- . duce a measure of results equal to an experienced farm hand who has been! continuously at work in the fields. ' But he will also understand that ni ] signature of the pledge will bind him to such an extent that only sickness or] 1 unexpected and unforseen circttm ■ stances will be regarded as sufficiently] ' explanatory by the county council of 1 defense, to whose attention all delinquencies will be called. The plan has served in many com ] munities, it is said by N. K Squiub.| director of the Public Service reserve! in Indiana, to have brought to many] retired farmers a renewed s-ense of their ability and duty as tillers of Hu: soil. To many other men who have had farm experience it has served as a gratifying form of recreation, mak- 1 ing possible a vacation that, was actually refreshing. As a protection to the manufacturer, and especially the war contractor, the reserve is | ledg- v ed t > accept not more than two men front any one department of a factory, i on any one day. Tl: ■ details of the plan, with cards/ for r gistering pledges are being distribu ed to the county public service reserve enrolling agents, together with information that will assist them in inaugt rating the plan in their home communities. They will be encouraged t i mak a quick canvass for volunteers, I making it clear to ail that the enter-’ prise has great and important possibilities from a ; atriotic viewpoint, j which declares emphatically that "food will win the war’’ and the only source ( from which an increased food supply is available is from the soil. With a ' vastly increased acreage and a corrcs ( pondingly diminished supply of labor. ( especially of transient labor which has been attracted by the lure cf high . ’ | wage; into war industries, ft is clear, that some agency must be devised to < harvest the crops, without which Imli’ana* cannot be cosidered as having done her duty to the nation in support 1 of the war program, Mr. Squibb concludes.

SUGAR FOR PRESERVING We must have strict economy in the use of sugar If the fruits and vegetables which must be preserved be properly provided for. Conservation in every way must be practiced at this time so that sugar will not be scarce when the great demands come through the summer and early fall. In order that the consumer may obtain the necessary supply of sugar to care for home canning, I have distributed to all dealers in the county printed permits, as follows: U. S. Food Administration Permit for Sugar for Preserving Purposes (Limit—Not to Exceed Twenty-five Pounds) No. in Family 1918 I (Consumer) Address hereby certify that I have received from (Dealer) (Address) pounds of sugar, which I agree to use for fruit preserving only. I further agree that I will not sell, loan or otherwise dispose of any of this sugar to any other person.
