CUKBEU TELLS Of SHOCK IRK

Hour Business Men Are Helping' the s!:'. w-..JParmer Put By His Wheat Crop.

"Shock troops" are busy in American wheat fields, as well as on the western battle front. When the German war lords command an advance at any cost, shock troops are, sent forward to. buy yards of ground with thousands of lives, but the American agricultural "shock troops" advancc In a different manner. They are town men who have volunteered to help farmers cut and nhock their wheat, and thus are doing their Jart in making the battle lines firm.

Here are two Instates, reported Tv County Agent Clinehell, of how towns and cities are helping to meet the need for harvest workers on American farms.

A South Dakota county has organized all its towns. When labor is needed, ail business places close early and the town men go in automobiles to every quarter of the county. When they come to fields, but not shocked, they get out and shock, and then proceed to other fields needing them. They don't talk about pay, or wno is doing the work. "If the farmer wants to donate the money which he would spend for labor, to the Red Cross, that is his business," says a letter from South Dakota, "and I think that is where most of the money will go." "Shock troops" are cutting and shocking wheat In Warrick county, also Volunteer business men, clerks and laborers in the towns finish their town work and then are taken In automo!iles to help the farmers. In one eveMing forty men shocked more than 'ighty acres of wheat,

been filled by Mr. Mechling in a highly efficient manner, as is shown by his most recent promotion, in being selected as the man to succeed W. C^rp.

Rapid and numerous changes of position, and every change a promotion, mark the railroad history of Mr. Flinn, who in 16 years has risen from the "job" of messenger boy to the "position" of master mechanic. Mr. Flinn will have his headquarters in this city and will move his wife and family here from Toledo as soon as possible.

Mr. Flinn was bom. in Camden, N. J., March 8, 1887, and on July 1, 1901, he commenced his work as messenger boy in the Camden shops of the Pennsylvania. At this job he was paid 60 cents a day, and counting out four Sundays and one holiday his pay for his first month's work amounted to $13. He worked up, holding clerical positions and working as a draftsman', until 1905, when he left the employ of the Pennsylvania and entered Cornell university. While in the university he spent his summers working as a fireman on the West Erie and Sea Shore lines.

One of Smith's Boys.

In June, 1909, he took a position in the Panhandle shops at Columbus, O., working under P. F. Smith, Jr., who is now general superintendent of motive power of the Pennsylvania lines west of i Pittsburgh. In 1912 he became a machinist at the Conway engine house, near Pittsburgh, and from here he was sent back to Columbus, O., as motive power inspector and to do special work under the superintendent of this department. While there he also had charge of freight locomotive capacity, tests on the Ix»gansport division.

His next change came in 1913, when he was sent to Louisville, Ky., as general foreman at Bradford, 0,» where much of his time was devoted to special duty for R. K. Rochester. Mr. Rochester, who is well known in this city, is now serving as a major with the United States army in France. On June 16, 1916, he was made assistant master mechanic of thet eastern division of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh, with headquarters ai Allegheny, Pa. ,! #n October, 191?, he was orflerefl to Toledo as assistant engineer of motive power of the central system, and this position he held until the first of the present month, when he was transferred to Terre Haut*. ...

Mr. Arp's Leaving.

The railroad press all over the country has had interesting comment to make on the retirement of William Arp, connected with the TanduliaPennsylvania for over thirty years, and who is this month, retired on a pension roll. Mr. Arp concludes one of the most notable careers

the history of

the industiv. jHe has been an intimate friend to nearlv every big figure in the railroad world, and stood high in the esteem of the Pennsylvania system organisation.

The cooling darkness had relieved somewhat the glaring heat of the day, but the air was still close and sultry, and th "breeze," of which Mrs. Barclay boasted, had to be incessantly stirred by palm leaf fans. "Barclay, what time did you say that train went?*' Warren reached o\*er to knock the ashes from his cigar. "Well, tomorrow I've got to get the 7:40, but you don't have to go that earry. Why don't you take the 8:10?" "Oh, no, we'll go with you," suppressing a yawn as he glanced at his watch by the dim light from the dining room. "Wouldn't you like to see the cellar before you gk up?" suggested Mrs. Barclay. "You won't have time in the morning." "Oh, I'd love to," lied Helen, wonder

THEY DISCOVER THE REAL CAUSE OF THE

HOSPITALITY.

"Move your chair farther out, Mrs. Curtis, you'll gret more air." Helen dragged over the wicker chair until the rockers scraped the wire netting that screened is the long side porch. "We always get a breeze out here," declared Mrs. Barclay, who had spent most of the afternoon dilating on the advantages of their country home. "Now isn't this better than being cooped up in the hot city?" "Yes, this is very pleasant," murmured Helen, who had conscientiously played the part of an admiring, enthusiastic guest. "How about mosqrtfttoes?** Warren was scratching his ankle. "Oh, Howard will leave that screen door open! But they're no worse than they are in town. Mr. Phillips was out last Sunday—he said he'd been almost eaten up in his apartment.

BARCLAYS' EFFUSIVE

ing if she could marshal her overworked adjectives to a proper appreciation of the cellar.

Since their arrival on the noon train, Mrs. Barclay had dragged her through every room in the house, expatiating on the comforts and conveniences of her home, while Helen had kept up a continuous murmur of "How attractive!" **How very convenlentt!" "You reaTly have a charming house!" Oh, what a delightful view!" "Yes, this is such & pleasant room!** "What lovely big closets"Oh, what a cheerful maid's room!"

When she had gushed over the kitchen, pantry, back porch, and garden, she felt she had done her full duty, and here was the cellar still to be explored. "Howard, do you want to show Mr. Curtis the furnace?" "Sure," her husband arose with alacrity. "We've got about the best and simplest thing in furnaces. Kept the whole house warm last winter with only ten tons." "Why, that's

Nvery

little," ventured

Helen, who knew absolutely nothing about coal, but she was trying to cover Warren's unresponsive silence, as with evident relunctance he laid down his cigar. "Yes, the Petersons. Just below here, used over fifteen, and their house is much smaller—but it's poorly built. That's one thing about this house—it's exceptionally well built." "The walls are so thick." contributed Mrs. Barclay. "It's a very easy house to keep warm." Then she gathered up the porch cushions. "It may rain tonight—we'd botter take these iru"

While Mr. Barclay demonstrated! the admirable points of the now dead and rusty furnace, Mrs. Barclay showed Helen the storeroom. "You've no idea what It saves In Ice bills. We really don't need the ice-box at all. Most cellars are damp and mouldy—but this is always perfectly dry." v i

As the darkened streaks on the te-' ment wall wer eoozing- dampness, Helen refrained from commenting on this statement. "Here's my jelly closet^ drawing a curtain back from some rough shelves on which were a few glasses and jars. "And here's where we keep the potatoes and other vegetables. Last winter we had all these bins full."

In a nervous effort to conceal Warren's silent boredom, Helen admired everything in extravagant terms. She Was tired and sleepy, and her feet ache'l from the heat and a new pair of pumps, but there was no release until they had seen every corner and "convenience" tif the cellar.

WHY PAY MORE for inferior footwear when Becker will sell you all leather shoes for Less? Why allow your feet, the most important member of the body, to be tortured with poorly made, ill-fitting shoes? Why buy four pairs of shoes annually when one pair of Becker's will do, if necessary? Why not come to the store where the feet can be fitted by an expert? Why not buy from an exclusive store, that buys and sells more shoes than any other store in the State of Indiana and are naturally in a position to give better service and greater values? Consider these questions, and we feel confident that you will decide that no store i can give you better service, quality and prices than Becker's Stores.
