THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1918. AGE LIMITS TO REMAIN SAME IN BOYS' RESERVE Minimum Age of 16 Years; Boys to Be Given Insig nia to Mark Their , , Membership. Definite information has been re ceived from Washington in regard to eligibility in the United States Boyi' reserve. It states that the age limits will remain 16 to 20 years. a minimum age of 16 years must .have been attained before a boy can go to work under the supervision of the Boys' reserve, and while it is thought, that all boys from 6 to 20 years' of age, inclusive, are in cluded in the membership of the reserve, the reason for not requir ing boys between 18 and 20 years to register on November 14, is that they have already registered under ' the selective service in the draft. 4 . It is .emphasized, however, that boys up to 20 years of age, who , have registered in the selective draft may volunteer and enroll in the U. S. B. W. R., and it is hoped that - a great many boys will be on farms , or ift the shops by next summer All Boys Get Insignia. All boys who are registered will be given some sort of insignia tj .mark their membership; probably a chevron to be worp on the sleeve or breast of the shirt, also the use of military hat. Beside the insignia designating , membership, there will be other in signia, having to do with the length and, efficiency of service, as follows: 1. Boys who have already worked ion farms as members of the U. S. B. V. R. will be allowed to wear the "plow share" at pnce. 2. Boys who are now employed in an industry and who are shown to . be qualified workers, will be allow ed to wear the "anvil" upon join ing the reserve. 3. Boys now working upon their father's farms and show themsrlves to be qualified workers will be al lowed to wear the plow share upon joining the reserve. 4. Each boy in school or who is not now employeds who enter the reserve as a new member wul be quired to wear a hat band and green .-rlifVfAn u'ithniif ritfir insionfa un til he is qualified to enter agricul tural or industrial service when he may wear the maroon hat band and the chevron. Award Service Badge. : Every boyx should feel that the chevron and hat band is a symbol of pledged service; and that the in signia symbolizes qualification to enter a specific form of service. After a boy has entered service - and has served for a year, two badges are offered; one a minimum service badge showing that he has done the minimum service and an honor service badge indicating 4hat be has given full service through out the year. : The "plow share" is designed with the engraving U. S. B. W. R. en graved upon it and surmounted by an American eagle with outstretch ed wings; The anvil is similarly designed and has the same engrav ing and surmounting. All buttons, insignia, hat bands ahdthevrons are officially authoriz ed by the government and it is un lawful for other than members of the reserve to wear them, and may 1e temporarily or permanently with drawn from members 'for disobe dience or discharge.

F. of L. belongs the glory of discovering the platform of John H. Morehead, who is running for senator against that champion of the people, George W. Norris. ' According to the Grace letter of October 26, 1918, addressed to Railway Employees;-(Mr. McAdoo's instructions to the contrary) Morehead 'favors government operation of railroads. It is there fore to your interests to vote for him, if you are of the same opin ion." That is all he has1' to say for him. Apparently the platform consists of a single plank. By the same token, the railroad men should also vote for Norris, as he is not only for government owner ship of railroads, but for every progressive measure which is in the interest of the people. ' x In a letter dated October 21. 1918, to Joe Harga, Secretary of the Federated Trades Council, Plattsmouth, Neb., Senator Norris said: "I voted for the law under which the government took over the railroads. I am in favor of government ownership in peace as well as in war. "I regretted very much that when the president took over the railroads he did not also take over the stock yards at the various packing centers. They are as much a part of the" railroad systems as are the shops at Plattsmouth. "When, after the war, a law is passed for permanent control of the railroads, in order to be successful and satisfactory, it must take the control and management entirely out of partisan politics by placing them under the jurisdiction of a non-partisan board or commission that will not be subject to ange with the changing of each administration.' - It is evident that Norris goes Morehead one better; he is not only for government ownership and operation of the railroads, but also of the stock yards at the various packing centers. Why has Morehead kept silent regarding his position on the stock yards when every live stock man in the state is vitally interested in the subject. There must be reason. $2.95 Girls' Coats made to sell at $3.50 to $5.00.
