Women in Britain Cut Logs.
A quarter of a million women In
England are now working more or
less regularly on the laud, says the
London Observer. The great major
ity are village women who go out
from their cottuges and work for the
fanners. Seven thousand are In the
new Land army, which employs wom
en who are recruited for a certain
term and sends them wherever they
are required.
The women in the Land army en
list either for twelve or six months.
In case of twelve months they receive
two complete outfits free, consisting
of a dress, corduroy breeches, strong
boots, leggings, overalls and hat.
They also get for the year one Jer
sey and one mackintosh. They are
given four or six weeks' free In
struction at u training center. Their
pay on the furm ranges from $2 to
$5 a week.
For a girl who Joins the army
for six months there is no training.
She goes straight away to the land
and begins on the work requiring
less skill. Sen-ices of women en
rolled in the Land army are avail
able for timber cutting and hay bal
ing.

A Canadian soldier, whilst serving

time It was returned to France, hav

soldier, writing home recently, said:
"I had a big surprise today . . .
for the parcel yon posted to me In
November last turned up In great
style, having performed the latter part
of the Journey on foot. When I sum
moned up enough courage to open It
the noble bird simply formed fours
and departed at the double. . . .
I should sar It had quite an exciting
Journey round Italy and France."

ed that in so far aa the Eight

partment of the Interior practically

ployer, and George A. Coleman, em
ployee, withi violating the general
eight hour law contained in Chap
ter 55 of the Session Laws of Al
aska, 1917; that separate demur
rers were filed, the chief ground be
ing that the Act viala,teai the four
teenth amendment of the Consti
tution of the United) States exten
sion of March 23, and the Court
sustained the demurrer.
Under date of May 9, 1918, the
Attorney General in reporting on
the above mentioned case, stated
that "on April 22 the United States
Attorney was directed to BUe out
a writ of error in this cause. Fur*
tner reflection has convinced the
Department that the writ of error
could' not be successfully proeecut
:d, and the U. S. Attorney haa
this day been directed to abandon
the same."
Under the circumstances above re
cited', no action, by this Department
is necessary upon the applications
abov mentioned.

"Found Money"
"It's Just as if I found 90c," said many people as they cashed
their Liberty Bond Interest Coupons. They've haid their first
demonstration of the rewards of saving, of THRIFT. UNCLE
SAM wants to help you get the Thrift Habit—a habtit that will
help you through life. He has issued the W. S.S. You can
start with a quarter. 25c buys a Thrift Stamp, 16 Thrift Stamps
plus 13c buys a W. S. S. In 1923 a W. S. S. is worth ${5.00 The
interest is at 4 per cent, compounded quarterly. One of the best
and safest investments possible.
