He did not feel that his wife ‘.wag entlrely dependent on_him. She had some money, and "“her folks were willing to look after her. So were his, for that matter. He had just enough of the ingredients of an exemption claim to put it over, but he didn’t think he ought to. Smith worked with Jones on the same job. He had as good a_claim to exemption as Jones, and no better, but he was less Quixotic. He meant to use it. -/~ If Jones went to the front for three years Smith would ~stay on the job, and through the scarcity of hired help would “ get many promotions. When Jones came back to the job—if it was still open—Smith would be his boss. And Smith’s wife would take care that Jones wife didn’t forget it. So Jones stayed at home—and you can’t blame him. By the new arrangment the Government gets both Jones and Smith. It will probably get all the Smiths and Joneses pretty soon, unless they are under eighteen or over forty-five.

Confectioners were cut down Announcement R There is as much lack of co-ordination in the propaganda of -some of the various bureaus at Washington as there is in some other phases of their work. We are told that ‘“Food will win the war,” which leaves the necessary inference that the food producer is a direct war worker. But when plans are * made for awarding service badges to men engaged in war work, it is ruled that only those engaged on government con- tracts will be entitled to wear the medal. The farmer who pro- duces the food to feed the soldier cannot wear a war service medal but the tailor who cuts cloth to make a uniform will be presented with an insignia of patriotism. - A few days ago the Department of Labor issued a state- ment that it will protect the farmers against losses of help by the labor recruiting of other industries. Now comes the Food Administration with the announcement that “with men leaving our farms in ever increasing numbers to engage in direct war work, we probably see this year the height of our agricultural Ford | Ford « F orgi Prices Raised—Prices F.

It was the “he kept us out of war” slogan and “too proud to fight” slogan that elected him to the second term, but we got into the war two years late and the people will tell Senator Lewis that he is not their official spokesman. Maybe Lewis is also a follower of the slogan “Politics is adjourned.” By patronizing stores whioh dis- ;play the merchants’ pledge, by reporting unreasomable charges to her county or state Federal Food Administrator, who will take ag- tion under the law. What is the merchant's pledge? “We pledge ourselves to give our customers the benefit of fair and moderate prices, selling at no more than a reasenable profit above cost to us.” A « 0: ILLEGAL TO ASSAIL THE Y.
