HERE has been a gratifying response to the nation-wide call for farm labor, according to the Department of Agriculture, which reports that already 3,000,000 workers can be counted | on to help make this a record year for American crops. Railroad Ad two about the Three million farm workers amount to nearly one-fourth of the total number of persons in the United States estimated, from the, census of 1910, to be engaged in “agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry.” The number is large enough to encourage the hope that volunteer labor will prove sufficient to take care of even the 5 per cent. additional wheat acreage which will need ten days’ labor from, at least 300,000 workers at harvest time. Moreover, most of these farm hands will work near their own homes, which means a greater guarantee for steady increase of agri- eultural resources than could be the case if a mobilized army of drafted workers were sent out in battalions over the country. What the present urgent demand for farm labor should do is to better local conditions, put town Joafers to work, open to the farmer immediate sources of help upon which he can rely hereafter whon need arises, and convince a considerable portion of the popula- tion that “back to the farm” is one of the easiest and best paying} as well a3 at the present time one of the most patriotic movements | man or boy can make, If the average American worker knows good wages when tees them there ought not to have to be much drafting for farm labor this year. —_-4 Is there a health bureau {in the department that wouldnt weigh out beavier than a Hylan?

N a hot day in 1814 the muddy streets of Washingtoa, D. C,, were alive with scampering fugitives. Men and women and children were hurrying at top speed to get os of town, some of them were guiding wagons or pushcarte heaped high with houschold goods. Others were bent double under the load of boxes and bandies, Others were driving cattle and pigs and sheep to the woods beyond the city, In the distance sounded a continuous booming of cannon from the direction of Bladensburg, only a few miles away, where a disorganized handful of Ameri- can recrults and sailors were trying in vain to block the advance of an army of British veterans toward By J. H. Cassel | | Washington. Word had come that the British were sweeping aside this puny re sistance and that they would be marching into our capital city im another hour or so, to plunder and burn and kill, Everybody was panic stricken, and there was a wholesale pell-mell flight from the threatened capital. President Madison and his Cabinet had clready fled, but Presitont Madis son's pretty wife had not. This dainty, high-bred woman—the loved belle of the whole country— | kept her head while every one around her was in hysterics of terror. She knew what the enemy w likely to do to the captured city, par- } ticularly to the President's ma on, By sheer force of character she med m~ h cared servants into a semblance of obedience, and she set the to work under her pe nal di.
