NEWTON For This Issue ACCURACY The request has been made by the United States Civil Service Commis sion that women, especially college women, apply for positions as inspec tors and assistant inspectors of small arms in the munition plants filling contracts for the army.

Accuracy Is acquired only through if students become accus aji ctxsi.a'wi tomed to doing their school work thoroughly, they will become haDitu n offlriAiit and accurate. The rea son the majority of people who have attempted war relief and failed, Pro fessor Sarka Hrbkova said recently, is that they were inaccurate. . A war. It seoms almost like a stroke of an Ironical fate that, whereas it was tho Invention of a northerner, Ell Whitney, that made the civil war inevitable, it was the invention of a southerner, Cyrus McCormick a VIrgtnlan-that made it Inevitable that the north should win. From the civil war dates the uhb of American agricultural machinery in all parts of the world. Ex-President Loubet said, several years ago. that France would starve to death were it not for "the self binders made in Chicago." Is it too much to expert that this comparatively new device, the tractor, may do for our general food situation now what the reaper did in the civil war. World's Work.

I V VI til A In sending 1,500 farm tractors to France in charge of Mr. Henry wor started -a movement that may have the utmost inluence upon the course of the war. This number of ma Maa win not in themselves com- tuiuvu - pensate French agriculture for the j losses of the war. in me unmvaucu parts of France nearly 10 million acres have gone out of cultivation as a consequence of war. The simple fact is that the cultivators are in the armies. It is estimated that Mr. Morganthau's tractors will plow 500, 000 acres this spring and 1,000,000 In the fall thus putting back into cultivation about 15 per cent of the land that is now lying unused. This preliminary shipment, however, marks only the beginning; there is no rea son why. In the next year, or iu we cannot send to France enough farm machinery to make good the farm iaborers France has lost to the armies and to re-establish French agriculture as it was in 1914. In that year France was a self-supporting country. If we do this, we shall merely re peat history. Perhaps the element that chiefly contributed to the suc cess of the north in our civil war was the use of the harvesting ma chine. The northern armies took one out of every threemen from the farms. In many places the situation was not unlike that in France toaay; nnir women, children, and old men left tn work the fields. Yet ia e-reatlv reduced labor supply produced the food which fed our civil filiation and the armies, as well r. eiifnlua whlr.h. as an enunuvua cvinnort to Europe, provided the liquid capital which financed - our military operations. . Europeans looked on at a new spectacle that of a nation fighting the greatest and most expensive war In history and growing Infinitely richer in the proc ess. The explanation was found in an ungainly red chariot, which ran over fields of ripened grain and did the work of fifteen or twenty men. McCormick invented his reaper - in -urn tmt nvinr to the ulentlful supply of cheap labor, it did not Response From Entire Student Body come into general use until the civil house. The war savings campaign which was recently waged under the direc tion of Prof. R. D. Scott has proven to be a great success so far. About two weeks ago a big drive was made for the sale of war, saving stamps and thrift stamps. A com mittee of two hundred students was organized to canvass the whole stu dent body upon the campus. Pledge cards were signed by nearly every students. The payments upon the pledge were to be made by May 15th. The student activities' office, at u-hirh nlare the payments are being Mnnrto that during the fif- uiauci - teen days since the conclusion of the canvass, there has been nearly paid in. This is at the rate of about $75 per day. However, must more money has been received the past week than during me nrsi. The war savings stamps which pay $5.00 at maturity, sold much better than the thrift stamps wnicn are worth but 25c. Some of the stu dents have subscribed for a large number of the war savings siampa. A few of those upon tne sonciung mmttfao hnvA not vet turned in the pledges that they have secured.
