But the most interesting part of Miss Whitehead’s work is the young canning factory she is operating. A large steam canner has been installed in an outhouse in the rear of the home, and itj is here that the proprie tor with her corps of assistants works from early morn til dewy eve putting the fruits of her labor into cans.

GREAT DEMAND FOR BAKERS IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY There is a great demand for first- class bakers and bakers’ helpers In the United States Amy atthe pres- ' ent time. We are writtnrto ask you if you will not assist us in securing the en listment of tome of the bakers of your acquaintance. By so doing, you will not only be serving your country but will also bo doing a fav or to the men themselves. First, it is a real service to your country to assist in. putting the right men in the right placet. We do not want a baker making guns or a sharp shooter trying to make bread. The only way that we can put each man in the position best suited to him Is by the assistance of patriotic eltzen*. If you have any unmarried, able-bodied baken in your employ between the ages of 18 and 45, we appeal to you to show your patriotism by person ally urging them to enlist Wo real ize folly the inconvenience to which this may put you through temporary shortage of labor, but we think that the present crisis justifies us in ask ing each man to show his patriotism in a practical my. Second, there is right now a splen did chance for a competent baker to enter the Amy with the prospect for early promotion to the grade of ser geant. The lowest pay of a sergeant is $44 per month. It-muit bo remem bered that this is additional to his board, lodging, clothe* medical at tendance and in fact practically all necessary expenses. Here is a rare opportunity for a man to serve his country and at the same time serve himself. Men that come first will naturally have a great advantage ov er those that come later. * There is also a chance for promo tion to the grade of lint lieutenant in bakery companies for men who have high school education. Any man interested should call at the near est recruiting station or see local postmaster. G. V. nEIDT, Capt Inf., Recruiting Officer.
