This is more than three times the number of offices jn operation under the federal service when it was reorganized last January ar, a separate arm of the Department of Labor and the nation’s machine for recruiting and distributing labor for war production. The employment service is now placing workers in shipyards, munilion plants, on farms, and in other war industries at the rate of between 150.000 and 175.00 a month. This is about six times the number placed a month ast year. Each day more war manufacturers turn to the employment service to find them labor.

He enlisted when he was fourteen years old at Fort Wayne in the infantry,and served first on the Mexican border and last June he went to France. After training several months in France his company went to the trenches last December and that company has been under shell fire most of the time since last December. His company also took action in some sharp battles. So far they have not lost a man. —Bluffton, Banner. j The 'Department of Labor, through tho United States Employment Service, is seeking a standardization of wage scales for common and skilled labor in war industries. Such equalization, it is contended, is absolutely essential to the success of the government's efforts to more rapidly and equitably distribute the available supply or workers. The great discrep'-1 aflcies in wages in different industries an din different sections of the coun-| try make it impossible to stabilize employment conditions, facilitate labor| “stealing" by one essential industry atj tho expense of another, and, with poori housing conditions, contribute to the. enormous labor turnover, which, according to Secretary of Labor Wilson,) is as high as 100 per cent a week in some plants.

MOL ’ KWMIWiWm n wilw P > 1 ®f? E * Wwl ~ Poor Little Kiddies! • Motherlessl Fatherlessl Starving! Across the seas they call to us! The call comes from little children, orphaned, homeless, slowly starving day by day, by tens and tens of thousands. The call comes from mothers in the pillaged zones of the war. Their hearts and souls have been made numb with horror. From all these millions of suffering human beings there comes across the seas a call for help. And because the frightful burdens placed upon our Allies this help cannot be given unless it is provided by the American Red Cross. Another hundred million is needed. What will America s p answer be? What will your answer be? | Millions oi loyal Americans will pledge a part of their ■ earnings for June, July, August, and September. What Will You Do To Help? Red Cross 2nd War Fund May 20-27

Every cent given to Red Cross War Fund goes for War Relief. The American Red Cross is the largest and most efficient organization for the relief of suffering that the world has ever seen. It Is made up almost entirely of volunteer workers, 10,000,000 unselfish Americans. It Is today bringing relief to suffering humanity, both military and civil, ia every war-torn Allipd country. It la there to help our soldier boys Sa time of need.

Ail manufacturers of near beer or other fermented beverages containing less than one-half of one per cont of alcohol, are now under control of the United" States food administration. In order to continue bustnos.-, they must obtain federal license which subjects them to a large measure of supervision both as to the material they use and the distribution ’of their product. Reports of the I amount of cereal or other staples entering into their product will he required. They are given until June 1, 1918, to make application to hte lil conne division of the food administration, Washington, D. C., for tho neccsary permit to continue their business.

r I By helping the starving women and children in I the ruined districts of France and Italy it performs t a distinctly military service. A soldier who knows t I that Red Cross is helping his family fights with I renewed spirit. Thus does Red Cross help to win the war. Congress authorizes it. , , President Wilson heads it. The War Department audits its accounts. Your Army, your Navy, and your Allies enthusit astically endorse it. Twenty-two million Americans have joined it.
