WATTLES SUGGESTS
ttmi-i n n nAnnrnunnrt
Says Chinese and Japs Em
ployed for War Period Would
Ti bor Scarcity.
To meet the labor shortage on the
farms of Nebraska and to insure pro
per planting and harvesting of crops
next year, Gurdon W. Wattles, fed
eral food administrator for Nebraska,
suggests the importation of foreign
labor. Mr. Wattles would have this
labor brought in for the period of the
war, when it could be returned to the
foreign countries, if deemed advis
able. 1
Mr. Wattles points out the advis
ability of bringing in Chinese and
Japanese by saying the United States
must meet the problems of feeding
the allies.
"If we are to be looked upon as the
granary ot the ,world, and asked to
supply tne aines wmi tooastuns, it is
evident we must be properly equipped
to .fulfill this all important mission,"
said Mr. Wattles.
"We are seriously handicapped in
our efforts through so many men hav
ing been taken from the field of agri
cultural pursuits. 'c must fill the
places of these men and we must fill
them with men who are able to fur
nish 'the necessary labor.
"Experience has shown that we
cannot depend upon men in other
walks of life for many reasons. Many
will not go to the farni; others are
whnllv 'iiiranahlA whpn thev An trrt
"With millions of Chinese, Ja
panese, and other foreign laborers
available, under certain conditions, I
am of the opinion that some method
should be devised whereby to secure
their services during the war or as
i long as necessary. They can be re
journed -afterwards, if advisable, but
. the immediate question is to get them
and keep production normal and also
to meet increased production now de
manded. "One hundred thousand or more
can be used advantageously in agri
cultural pursuits, and I am decidedly
in favor of concerted action to this
end."
Colorado is facing the same prob
lems, according to T. B. Stearns, food
administrator of the state. He is urg
ing congressional action permitting
the importation of Mexicans, Chinese,
Japanese, and others to supply the
common labor market.
Mr. Wattles is inclined to the belief
that the Chinese and Japanese will
better fit into the general scheme of
agricultural activity than the Mexi
cans, while the Colorado official lays
emphasis on the availability of the
men from the south.
Soldiers From Both Forts
Make Use of the Khaki Klub
The Khaki Klub, which opened its
doors to the soldiers of Forts Omaha
and Crook a 'week ago, has shown
"old southern hospitality" to 1,902 sol
dier boys so far.
Charles H. English was elected gen
eral superintendent of the club house
by the members of the Rotary club
of this city, who launched the good
friendship movement for the soldiers.
He reports that 751 soldiers have
registered thejr names on the rosters.
Twenty-five per cent of the soldiers
who are stationed at Forts Omaha
and Crook have already made avail
able use of the accommodations af
forded them. '
President W. II. Clarke of the
Rotary club says that the newly or
ganized Khaki Kluk has fostered a
brotherly attitude and feeling of hos
pitality among the soldier visitors.

SAY YOU WANT TO
JOIN ARMY: UNCLE
WILL DO THE REST
Prospective Recruit Wanders
Down Where the Officers Are
Making Tests and Relates
His Experiences.
By ROBERT R. D. WEIGEL.
"There is a good story down at the
go down and en-
recruitrng station,
list!"
I thought the city edkor was ex
acting a pretty high price for a jgood
yarn, but I realized the great metro
politan daily could easily exist with
yours truly in the army.
It was Thanksgiving day, too, but a
reporter doesn't have an awful lot to
be thankful for so what were the
odds?
I decided at any rate, if join the
army I must, I would find out some
thing about the troubles of other fel
lows, who are signing up to make the
kaiser wiser.
As I trudged to Fifteenth and
Dodge, I had mental pictures of Fort
Logan, Fort Sam Houston and the
battle-torn fields of Alsace-Lorraine
roon, poon, tney nau no terrors ior
me.
I had heard fellows say how good it
makes one feel to wear a khaki uni
form these days from personal ex
penence I know they attord every
freedom of movement, and people
have lots of respect for them. When
a fellow decides to join the army, he is
nursing a sort or devilmay-carc spirit
anyway, and a supreme confidence
that everything will come out all right
in the wash.
Get Cold Chills.
Another thing, conditions are un
doubtedly upset for young men these
days, and it sort of relieves your
mind to "get your feet wet" and let
Uncle Sam do your worrying for you.
Anyway, that's how I felt and my or
ders were to get all the thrills.
I wasn t Koinir to enlist without
getting in on the ground floor. I walk
ed around to the Fifteenth street en
trance of the federal building, and
spied Corporal Lane and he spied me
I wanted to appear sort of hors de
combat" so he would select me as
possible timber, but he looked the
other way and I passed him and the
army but not forever.
All the way around the block I
went and sure enough, there he was
agin. He saw me and I saw him.
(First feeling chills.)
Inside the federal building corridor,
I quickly noted that lonesomeness
would not be one of the attacking
feelings. About 100 fellows were sit
ting or standing waiting their turn
at the little desk where the enlisted
men take your bertillon, and put you
at ease.
Coon and Chickens.
Looking in, I turned around and
sought an empty chair. Next to me
sat R. B. Ward, a farmer boy, who
had just been in, and when I asked
him what they wanted to know, he
said : r
"Oh, your age, your name, your oc
cupation, what branch you want to
get into and when you want to leave."
Well, I replied, the cavalry or quar
termaster's department seem to give
you the longest lease on life, so I
guess that's were I will head in. No
chance. Ward informed me that these
two branches were already full and
no more recruits for them would be
accepted.
The red-faced young man on the
other side of me had been leaning
over listening to our conversation, so
I asked him how it happened he was
enlisting the day after Thanksgiving.
I started something, for he was very
talkative.
Goes to Dance.
'I went to a Thanksgiving dance
at Bennington Thursday night and
some-of those drafted boys were there
in their uniforms and they copped the
whole parade. Even my girl sort of
neglected me for them, so thinks I,
my corn is about picked and there's
no one "depending a whole lot on me,
so I guess I'll enlist. When I told
my girl about it, she promised some
thing that I had been arguing with
her about for six months guess you
know what I mean so now I'm go
ing to end this business as quick -as
I can."
My seat was getting warm, so I
moved to the seat near two other
fanner boys. Incidentally a few
statistics I compiled showed about 20
per cent of those waiting were mar
ried, and about SO per cent farmers.
"Are you going to enlist?" I in
quired of out of them.
"That depends," declared a pink
cheeked son of the soil. "What I
want to do is to be examined now
and then come in for active training
about December 14."'
"What luck did you have?" I per
sisted. "Well, the sergeant wanted to
know why I was waiting until the
last minute, so 1 tqld him my tale.
You see I have bten farming tor my
self and have a lot of tattle and
grain, and I don't wnt to sell out if
I can't pass the physical examination.
Looked at-His Feet.
He just took a look at my teeth
and feet, and said 'you'll do,' so I guess
I'll go home and hold one grand auc
tion. I was just sitting here think
ing how much I might raise on the
cutfit. The sergeant said everybody
that came in December 12 would be
examined and shipped out the same
day, and after that they expected to
shut up shop."
Sergeant Hanson s;t peacefully in
his office and looked full of vital in
formation, so I braced him with:
"How does it come the government is
accepting marred men now?"
"We put them on the staff," he
said.
"Oh, is that so? A married man
can get on the commanding officer's
staff ! Fine. I always did like staff
work," I beamed encouragingly.
The broad grin on the seigeant's
face fort of tjck the joy out of life.
Marri-d Men Protected.
"By that I wen they are generally
assigned to hoftital wo:k, field con
struction" an i otiier more or less non
combatant I ranches."
"Oh, that's it. Well, sergeant, it
sounds like some of these-other re
cruiting tales I have heard, you
know, $99.99 per month, etc. See you
later, Sarg."
Out in the corridor a newcomer
was sitting in "Recruit row." Major
Frith, boss of the bureau, was headed
his way, so I breezed along to eaves
drop on the conversation. 4
Abe Lincoln's Cook
Dies at Age of 106
Oakland, Cal., Dec. 2. Mrs.
Daffy Summers, said to be the old
est colored woman in California
and a former cook in the employ
ment of Abraham Lincoln, died
here, today, tged 106 years. She is
survived by two great-great-great-grandchildren
and three other gen
erations. She . was born in Ala
bama.
"That's a mighty fine young Amer
ican, saitl the major.
"He is that," declared the recruit.
"and you can have htm in about 18
years trom now. In the meantime I
am going to take his place." He was
accepted. His little wife turned away
and sobbed softly while the father
promised to sacrifice her new-born
for the cause of democracy when his
time comes.
Downstairs I rambled and discov
ered about a dozen men stripped and
ready for business. It didn't take the
doctor long, so I watched the performance.
Stand on One Leg.
The first thinsr vou do is swiwr a
100-pound sack of dirt over one shoul
der and stand on one leg this de
termines the size shoe you will need
when in training and whether you are
flat-footed. Then the candidate says
"ninety-nine" a few times, to test his
lungs; he stands up against the wall
while the doctor throws a weird whis
per thither to test your ears, and
gives you the 20-20 eye test.
"We don't enlist you here, we just
sign you up as a prospective soldier
and send you to Fort Logan, where
they take you for the emergency," de
clared the doctor. "But if we pass
you there is no doubt but what vou
will be lugging a breech-loader soon."
That's about all that enters into the
life' of any American desirous of en
tering Uncle Sam's army. All one has
to do is signify his willingness they
do the rest.
DON'T SEND ANY MEAT
TO SOLDIERS IN CAMP
Uncle Sam Feeds Them Well
With Substantiate, and Un
necessary Food Wasted,
' Says Balder.
Stop sending substantial food
stuffs, such as meat and other like
commodities, to the soldiers in the
camps is the request made through
The Nebraska Food administration
by Secretary of War Newton Baker
and Food Administrator Hoover.
The soldiers are getting ample sup
plies of substantial foods, continues
the secretary, but delicacies will be
quite welcome.
lhey also touch on the waste in
camps, saying it ts being eliminated
fast, but affirm that some waste ex
ists because of over zealous relatives
and friends who think the soldiers
are not getting enough to eat.
However send on the delicacies
and other choice bits, for the boys
welcome them. '
Mr. Hoover further says no at
tempt by the food administration has
been made toward getting observ
ance of meatless or wheatless days
in the camps.
"We feel it is necessary for
civilians to reduce the consumption
of foodstuffs, but we know that
everyone wishes the American sol

Government Is Preparing
To Chase Grasshoppers
The general drouth of the past year
has been favorable to an outbreak
of grasshopper pests. next spring un
less unfavorable conditions to the
hatching are leveloped.
Anticipating such a condition, the
government, through a proclamation
by President Wilson, has placed the
arsenic industry under the control
of the federal food administration.
The purpose of this act was to con
serve the crops from possible depreda
tions og "biting insects." Arsenic
is the base of many insecticides,
which are unusually effective in meet
ing these outbreaks.
"The placing of the industry will
also tend to stabilize the price,' says
Gurdon W. Wattles, federal food ad
ministrator for Nebraska. "With the
cessation of importations of arsenic,
much of which came from Germany,
the price has fluctuated markedly."
Judge Redick Clears
Docket of Dead Cases
Judge Redick dismissed 93 cases on
call Saturday in the district court.
These cases had been on the district
court dockets for more than two years
and as no action had been taken with
in that period toward bringing them
to hearing before the court, they were
stricken from the docket under the
recent rule passed by the judges.
There are 800 of these dead cases
still encumbering the records and
the court will dispose of them as
quickly as possible. A call will be
held every Saturday and on failure of
the attorneys for the parties to ap
pear the cases will be dismissed until
the dockets are up to date.

Sounding their shrill barnyard notes
and scratching about in their straw
laden pens as if eager to get out of
sight of the curious spectators, hun
dreds of prize winning fowls sent
forth venting farewell cock-a-doodle-doos
in gratification of the success
of the Omaha Poultry show, which
closed Saturday.
The show was pronounced a big
success by 1 resident b. E. Munson
and Secretary A. L. Edson in the sale
of birds and from an educational
standpoint.
Intense interest was shown in the
rabbit and pet stock division of the
exhibition.
Prof. Peters, who was sent from
Washington in the interest of the
national food conservation commit
tee to attend the poultry show, spoke
at a meeting of poultry breeders yes
terday afternoon.
Double Poultry Output.
He said:
"The government expects poultry
raisers to double their poultry output
at any means during the coming
years. More people are urged to
raise chickens. Unless we co-operate
with the government in its
wishes, we may one day find our
selves confronted with eatless days
in place of meatless or wheatless
days.
"It may come to a stage when the
government will compel people to
raise poultry in order to supply the
increasing demand of meats.'
Following the meeting, a commit
tee of five men, authorized by the
food, conservation committee at
Washington, was appointed who will
work in co-operation with Prof.
Peters to foster the raising of poul
try. They are L. P. Reger, Harry
