MONEY LENDER PITIED POOR
Chinese Shylock In Manchuria Gave
Annual Sum for Relief Work to
Relieve Hlo Conscience.
A wealthy Chinese money lender In
Manchuria wns recently convicted of
making false declaration regarding
robberies of his caravans by Mongolian
bandits. His conscience troubled him
to such an extent thnt he offered to
contribute an annual sum of $750 for
the relief of tho poor, East and West
says. This money was made the basis
of a fund for feeding the helpless at
Kungchullng.
Manchuria Is terribly poor, despite
tho mineral and agricultural riches ex
tracted from its soil and rocks, all of
which products are shipped abroad.
There nre probably thousands of Indus
trious natives unable, by unremitting
toll, to earn moro than a meager liv
ing. When to their natural difficulties
are added tho ravages of bandits and
tho evils of mlsgovernment, such as
now prevails In many parts of China,
abject poverty and starvation must be
the lot of the people who, In the best
of times, are only half fed.
Worried.
"I don't know what I'll do If my boy
has to go to war."
"I wouldn't worry so much If I were
you. Perhaps ho won't be drafted."
"I know, but I Just can't bear the
thought of him ever having to go."
"That Is n fear that all mothers have
to face. Has you son registered?"
"Dear me, no, not yet. But I'm Just
worried trt death for fear that some
day he will be called away from me."
"How old Is your boy?"
"Just six months old yesterday, and
the loveliest boy that ever was born."
Lost In the Shuffle.
"I was Just wondering."
"About what?"
"Wondering what had become of tho
patriotic notion I had last April that
Td spend my vacation this summer
helping some fanner to hoe."

Washington. Reports from states to
tho council of natlonnl defense regard
ing tho organization of their resources
In accordance with the suggestion by
tho secretary of war show there has
been ready response and that there Is
a natlon-wldo Bplrlt for hearty co
operation between the stato authorities
and tho federal government.
Tho work that Is being carried for
ward is on a basis that is distinctly
nonpartisan. Every American, regard
less of political Ideals and sectional
feeling, Is working townrd one end
to give tho government complete back
ing that ho knows Is essential.
46 8tates Aid by Legislation.
Every phase of effort to co-ordinate
tho resources of tho nntlon Is being
furthered. Forty-six states have passed
legislation appointing bodies for super
vising tho work. The other two have
placed it In the hands of the governors,
who nre exerting their efforts toward
giving individual support to tho federal
government. Committees have been
formed In all stntes to devote particu
lar attention to special duties.
Four states Colorado, Massachu
setts, New Jersey and Wisconsin havo
made plans for tho harvesting this fall
of all crops. The council of defense
In Colorndo has submitted to business
houses In the smaller towns n request
that they remain closed during harvest
time till 0 p. m., thus allowing their
employees opportunity to work during
the day In tho harvest fields. The
other three states are perfecting plans
for the utilization of factory laborers
on farms. In Massachusetts there has
been devised a plan that Is considered
exceedingly valuable. It Is for a sur
vey by tho employers of lurge numbers
of men to find those who have had ex
perience In farming. Such men will be
encouraged to return to farm work.
The employers In many Instances are
offering to make up the difference In
wages.
Census Taken In Most States.
The organization of tho nation for
war purposes necessitates tho listing
of the man power before nnythlng else
has been decided, and work on that
line is being conducted with a com
pleteness that Is gratifying to federal
officials. Governors In most of tho
states have not been content with the
mere military enrollment of men be
tween the ages of twenty-one and
thirty thnt Is required by federal stat
ute. In addition, they have taken a
census within their states and nro re
cording the resources of every Indi
vidual, whether male or female, who
may "do his or her bit" for tho welfare
of the nntlon In war time.
Now York proved her claim to the
title of the Empire state by statistics
gathered In her stato military census.
Other states that are completing
their records of man power nro Con
necticut, Maryland, Vermont and West
Virginia. The Information being gath
ered will be of great value, It Is held,
particularly If events shape themselves
with startling rapidity something
which must be looked for, It Is con
tended, In war times. Other stntes,
Massachusetts and Rhode Island in
cluded, have lnld particular stress
upon the enrolling of men of engineer
ing nblllty, classifying them in such
manner thnt on short notice they can
be summoned to duty.
Women Give Their Aid.
The work being accomplished by
women Is particularly noticeable In
Illinois and Wisconsin. Tho advisory
committees of women's organizations
of tho state council of defense in both
statos havo prepared lists of the prin
cipal women's stnte patriotic societies
and assigned to each a definite field
of activity. They have also used the
statutory power of tho stnto council to
direct nil local organizations to co
opernto with these societies. Florida
Is also doing excellent work nlong
these lines. Committees of men and
women on farming nnd fruit raising
In that stato are being formed and In
tensive cultivation of tho furms Is bo
Ing encouraged.
Many of the stntes In taking up tho
work of organization for war purposes
nnd preparing for rollof work havo
found It necessary to consider the reg
ulating of all wjio solicit contributions.
At present thero is agitation In many
states for the passing of acts of legis
lature which will glvo tho council of
defenso the powor of supervision of
those who appeal for funds.
Systems of local defense nnd pre
paredness for relief work, which mean
tho roleaso for the fighting lino of
troops that otherwise would bo needed
for garrison duty, havo been perfected
In New York and In California. Greater
Now York has 20,000 drilled Homo De

KEEP FOOD FROM
Washington. In order to avoid
waste of surplus fruits and vegetables
nnd conserve tho food supply, Secre
tary of Agriculture nouston asks
"mothers" nnd "daughters" of very
state to organize and expend all avail
able energy In canning, preserving,
pickling, drying and storing these prod
ucts for local consumption.
Secretary Houston Is of the Arm be
lief that this problem may best bo
solved locally. No federal or state
government, he believes, can do nny
thlng unless women In ovory city and
town do what they can to help.
The woman who has no garden Is
asked to purchase full supplies for
her own tmmedlato and future use.
Telegraphic icports from 24 states
which are in distress were made public
by Secretary Houston, showing that
large surpluses of food will go to
waste unless women net Immediately.
The states particularly nffected are
Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho,
Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland,
Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
Now Jersey, New York, North Caro
lina, Pennsylvania, Rhodo Island, South
Dnkota, Tennessee Utah, Vermont,
Virginia, Wnshlngton, West Vlrglnln
and Wisconsin.
Direct Appeal to Women.
This Is the direct appeal to each
Individual woman, "mothers and
daughters," by President Wilson him
self, and here ore the localities af

New England Unusually largo sur
pluses of vegetables aro reported. Ex
ceptional yields of fruits and vege
tables are promised In Rhode Island,
and the state demonstration lender
there reports hundreds of requests for
demonstrations In canning nnd drying
which It cannot meet with its present
corps of workers. Vermont, Massa
chusetts and Connecticut all declaro
that help Is needed to carry out their
programs of instruction.
New York hns n large surplus of
vegetables, and, according to the stato
leader, extraordinary efforts to pro
mote homo nnd community food preser
vation in the next few weeks will bo
necessary to handlo tho situation. Tho
situation In Now Jersey Is reported ns
serious by rensbn of nn unusually high
acreage and consequent largo surplus.
Community outfits for canning and

generally concede. Military men who
have studied the problem Btato thnt ns
innny ns can be expected nro coming
forward. Too much emphasis cannot
be lnld upon this activity nt tho pres
ent time, It Is said, however. Reports
from some stntes nro meager nnd In
some Instnnces discouraging. Some of
the governors havo been very nctlvo In
bringing homo to young men tho rea
sons why they should respond to tho
call of the country and showing them,
by proclamations, by speeches nnd pic
tures, the necessity for responding to
n call to arms.
The full quota for the expanded reg
ular army has not been reached, nnd
many more recruits can be taken.
Therefore It is urged thnt all local
councils of defenso concentrato efforts
upon this work. Tho first-lino men of
tho regular army, tho navy and Na
tlonnl Guard should bo volunteers, it
Is snld. Therefore tho comparatively
few thousands still needed, as com
pared with tho Immense population of
tho nntlon f nnd tho great armies of
drafted men who will bo called into
training soon, should bo easily ob
tained. Thnt Is, If young men have it
properly explained to them why they
should enlist.
Merchant Seamen Sought.
Nnval classes nro being organized In
several states nnd encouragement giv
en young men to attend nautical
schools, so as to be tho hotter prepared
to tako their places on the fast grow
ing merchant fleet of the United States.
Illinois nnd Massachusetts report ex
cellent progress In such branches of
the national service. So popular Is tho
study In Chicago that a night school
has been opened. Classes arc organ
ized Into crews nnd given training In
navigation, gunnery, signaling, radio
marine engines nnd first nld. Tho Chi
cago Yacht club will provide means for
practical work on Lake MIchlgnn this
summer for hundreds of such crows.
Massachusetts and Rhodo Island
hnve gone further thnn some of tho
others and prcpnred for possible,
though very' Improbable, eventualities.
Those states nnd It Is reported others
are now falling In line have listed
and enrolled nutomoblles nnd auto
trucks that can bo called upon for Im
mediate sorvlco In rushing men from
one part of the state to another If
railroads should for any reason bo put
out of commission nnd It be found Im
perative to transport troops nnd sup
plies In record time.
Rhode Island has undertnken nlso
to keep its stnto and municipal employ
ees on the pay roll while In the mili
tary service. New Hampshire and
Michigan havo passed statutes to pro
vide for the dependents of soldiers and
sailors, and In New Hnmpshlre n plan
has been adopted for conserving tho
practice of physlclnns and dentists who
enter military service.
GOING TO WASTE
part of the state and a small surplus
of vegetables on tho farms.
Canning and drying In the homes
show a largo lncrenso In Ohio, where
n vigorous cnmpnlgn hns been carried
on. Illinois reports extraordinary ac
tivities In canning nnd preserving, but
thero tho fruit is well taken enre of.
Indiana has a large surplus In both
vegetables and fruit, and moro demon
stration help Is needed. Tho garden
surpluses In Michigan are largo and
much groatcr effort must bo mado to
tako caro of them, n report says. Wis
consin nnd Minnesota declare thnt help
Is needed in demonstration work. One
or moro food conservation meetings in
every township In Iowa will bo' held
to urge housewives to enro for a largo
surplus of vegetables and fruit.
Big Increase Reported.
A 100 per cent Incrense In garden
crops Is reportod from Nebraska and
a largo surplus is expected. Large
crops of vegetables also aro reported
from South Dakota, while In Kunsas
the nmount of fruits and vegetables
has been reduced somewhat by dry
weather.
In most of tho Southern states tho
height of the vegetable season hns
passed, but North Carolina, Tennessee
nnd Kentucky vegetables and fruits
nro plentiful and unusual efforts lire
being made by workers In each stato
to save tho surpluses.
Largo crops of fruits and vegetnbles
nro coming on In tho Western states,
but with tho exception of California,
Inadequate facilities and equipment
nre hindering cnnnlng nnd drying oper
ations. In Utah a big food-conservation
campaign Is on, backed by many
organizations. To meot tho shortage
of equipment, 270 steam canners nro
being distributed, ns Is nlso much dry
ing apparatus. Twelve field workers
nre demonstrating, but 15 more are
needed.
If canning and drying facilities
wero uvallablc, Washington could savo
10,000 additional cars of fruit. Tho
prospective large surplus of fruits and
vegotnbles in Oregon Is being reduced
by dry weather, making It Increasingly
Important to save all that Is produced.
Much of tho surplus of perlBhnbles In
Arizona Is In danger of being wnsted
on account of the Inadequate canning
nnd drying facilities. Demonstrators
nnd equipment are needed, the report
from that state says. Many others
of tho Western states declurc they
lack Hufllelent funds nnd help, and ash
for federal aid.

A couple of ChurlcHtown kiddles
were celebrating Hunker 11111 Day by
exploding n few torpedoed according
to the Hoston Transcript. Said Nellie:
"I don't see how the Germans can blow
up u big ship with one of these things."
"Oh, you girls can't expect to under

with n superior nlr. "Of course, the
