en by the War Department. An au- 

 thority on this subject has given the fol- 

 lowing definition : "A skilled farm !a- 

 borei- is one who has the strength, intelli- 

 gence and experience to perform, ac- 

 ceptably, the ordinary farm operations 

 of the district, community or farm con- 

 cerned, whether in fields, ranches, 

 orchards or barns." 



The requirements of farm w^orkers in 

 other deferred classes need no explana- 

 tion. The regulations state that "any 

 registrant found to be engaged in a 

 'necessary' agricultural enterprise, and 

 found to be 'necessary' to such enter- 

 prise in the capacity of an assistant, 

 associate, or hired manager of such par- 

 ticular enterprise oi- of a substantial and 

 integral part thereof" should be placed 

 in deferred Class III. 



In Class IV is placed "any registrant 

 found to be engaged in a 'necessary' 

 agricultural enterprise and found to be 

 'necessary' to such enterprise in the ca- 

 pacity of sole managing, controlling, and 

 directing head of the enterprise." 



The War Department desires to ac- 

 complish two objects — "to raise armies 

 and to maintain industry and agricul- 

 ture." It wants the right men in the 

 right places. Every effort should be 

 made to assist the Government in this 

 respect.

that is, I made the lower part go over 

 the rod and the upper part come down 

 low. In this way, the holes come up to 

 the top. From out-of-doors the holes 

 are shielded by the shades and from in- 

 doors, they are visible only upon close 

 scrutiny. Because of this utilization of 

 old curtains, my father saved about 

 fifteen dollars which he would have had 

 to pay out for new ones. These fifteen 

 dollars, along with money saved along 

 similar lines of conservation, we invest- 

 ed in a small Liberty Bond. 



More than the desire of gaining credit 

 for the economy, personally, meant the 

 spirit of the club that I grew into. It 

 has made me so desirous of helping 

 everyone with their war food problems, 

 that I have wished time and again that I 

 might go from one house to another and 

 help the house keepers as much as I 

 could, especially among the Polish 

 women, for they are the ones who need 

 the most help in that line. 



I have also tried to economize as 

 much as possible in the spending' of 

 money. Instead of buying a ready- 

 made graduation dress, I bought some 

 white voile and lace, with these, I made 

 a plain dress which only cose me $4.75. 

 Besides, I have made a great deal of my 

 under-wear, house clothes and mending. 

 So, as my father says, this club has done 

 me an unequalled amount of good.
