I n t-r m t i-ii :i I News S'-rvi-e SPItlN'IFIKLD. Ill, That there will he no farm labor nt ear.

drafting of thousands of the f;rm hands irto military s-rice, is the prediction here of William II. Young of Frbana, III. Mr. Your.?; is the federal farm lahor representative of the farm conure.-s bureau at Washington in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Missouri. He is on a. tour of Investigation f the four states, probing the needs of the agriculturists-. The object of the. bureau, primarily. Mr. Young says, is to provide farm labor of next year's crops. They are working in cooperation with every labor organization in the country. In this; connection, he .declares, splendid coordination prevails. Farmers Unding themselves handicapped for help next year, lie said, should appeal to the bureau, instead of the state labor and em

ployment agencies. It is hoped be- !

fore the season begins next year enough men will have been registered to provide the demand. The congress will work in conjunction with every' county agent in the Fnited States, whose party -duty is to secure farm labor in their respective communities. It is a patriotic movement, designated to help the government in its present emergency. Plan (iics Protection. "The farmer and the laborer alike will he protected in the matter of prices paid for heU" Mr. Young says. "While we have no direct power to establish a fixed wage scale, we hope to produet a feeling of harmony between both the employe and the employer in this respect. If possible, we do not propose to permit the workers being underpaid, nor allow the workers charging excessive rates for he'p. "An instance in this respect can be noted from our firsi efforts in working out the plan in Champaign county in Illinois. A number of farm hands, who had heard the farmers in that vicinity were paying unusually high prices for help, arrived In the county during the corn husking season. On de

manding from 10 to 1 5 cent a bush1 from the farmers, the services of the laborers were rejected. Forming a small clique, they stood firm, declaring the crops would go to waste before they would work for less. "Retaliating, the farmers themselves got together in an 'ostraeization' meeting. The county adviser was called on. He in turn notified our bureau. Within a short time an available number of men were sent to Champaign, who were more than glad and willing to accept the proffered price of from five to six cents a bushel offered by the land owners. "A geod farm hand working for five cents a bushel can easily make from five to six dollars a day. When it is considered board and lodging are furnished additional, it hardly seems reasonable to demand treble the amount. "The Champaign incident is the only report we have of l'linois farm workers attempting to force the price of labor almost beyond the reaeh of the average agriculturist. In Christian, Sangamon, Macoupin, Montgomery and many other central Illinois counties the live and sixcent figure is accepted without dispute." Plans for further outlining the work of the congress were formulated at a meeting recently held in St. Louis. Mo. F. V. Wilcox, head of the bureau, was in conference with all of his aides at the meeting, at which reports of progress in the work were made.

Niwji-Times Spe-ii; Service: INDIANAPOLIS, T)ec. i Under the direction of the war council of the Young Women's Christian association of America, an intensive campaign for the aid of women and girls in these war striken days, la to be waged in Indiana next week u.s well as all over the nation. The time set to gather a monster fund of $i,0Ou.0GO is Dec. 2 to 10. Indiana's quota, to be solicited much alter the plan o! the recent Y. M. C. 'A. drive, is $lU0.0u(. Leading women of club organizations, women noted for philanthropic work, and women of large means whether identified with the Y. W. C. A. or not have volumeered their time and influence in the week's campaign. Miss Flizabcth A. Snveets, general secretary at Indianapolis, has jeen appointed executive director for Indiana. "For the girl behind the man behind the gun." has been adopted as a happy and telling slogan by the war work council, it is to be carried into every city, town, township and hamlet in the Iloosier state. To meet the question on the lips of the many. '"What is this vast sum for?" loads of literature are to be distributed in every- part of the state. Campaign speakers will give the message everywhere. The Young Woman's Christian association will not assume the great responsibility alone but will work hand In hand with such powerful organizations as the Federation of Clubs, the Woman's Christian Temperance union, parent-Teachers associations. Daughters of the American Revolution. "Our war job is not for men in the uniform but for the girls everywhere, powerfully and subtly affected by war," is the apt appeal being sent out from state headquarters. From over the sea the cry for help has come from the women of Russia and France, under-fed and over-worked, and one of the great purposes of the Y. W. C. A. sisterhood in America is to answer this pitiful call. The association also has found vital need for its work bete at home. Under arms in tho United States are 1,500.000 men and their places In industrial life are being taken by women, many of them young" women who are entering the work-a-day world for the first time. At its very door the association is confronted with a fcirl problem by these changing' industrial conditions. Name Item in Iludgct. Here are some of the important items provided in the $4.000,000 budget: Kmergeney housing for girls employed in military and industrial centers, $o00.0ö0; for canteens, cafeterias, industrial centers for women of France and Russia, and to establish social centers for American nurses in France, $1,000,000; taking care of the girl problem in the war-touched communities, by experienced leaders of girls, $50,000; hostess houses already built or contracted for in military cantonments, $900,000; staff of women physician:; to work with the committee on social morality in giving mothers and girls instructions in sex education, thus enabling them to hohl to safe social standards in war times, .5100,000; applying all activities to colored girls, who problems are the same as other girls.

The war has revolutionized the country'.-, foreign trade in cheese, according to a statement issued by the bureau 'of foreign and domestic commerce. of the department of commerce. During the fiscal year, 1 1 1 4 . the last year before the war. the United States bought $00, 000 pounds of cheese from Kurope. 2fi.500.00O pounds from Italy. 22.r00.000 pounds from Switzerland, ."i.SOO.00O pounds from France. 3. TOO. 000 pounds from Holland, and smaller amounts from other countries. The a vera ire monthly imports from Europe were about f. COO. 000 pounds. In August of this year exactly 99 pounds of European cheese was imported. It came from Italy. In September only 1.222 pounds came from Europ . While Furope i wisely retaining this most valuable food for her own iressir.g needs. Argentina has turned to cheese making on a large scale and is new placing important quantities in the United States. In August this year she delivered 4 4 S .- 000 pounds in this country and in September 2T?.r."0 pounds. Thse tlsnires do not approach the imports from Furope before the war, but they are interesting in view of the fact that during the entire year 1310 not a sinsle poiinrl r.f cheese cam from A'.v ntina. More cheese is being exported than imported. In September L'.OOO.ooo pounds was sob! abroad and was distributed to more than countries. Ungland took the bulk of it. 1.700.0"0 pounds. Cuba 109.000 pounds, ami Mexico Cl.0 0O pounds.
