Men's Shop-Woodward at Grand River ANNOUNCING THE NEW 1918 SPRING STYLES IN MEN'S CUSTOM SHIRTINGS Exclutive Importations in Madras, Silks, Silk Mixtures-Distinctive Designs and Colorings EARLY INSPECTION SOLICITED Washington, Feb. 18-The United States Boys' Working Reserve, which was organized last fall for the pur- pose of enabling boys who were too young to go into military service to help the country in other ways, is assuming a more and more important place in the carrying on of the war. Farmers Appeal for Labor The most important division of the reserve was that which was to help the farmer, if his own help was less- ened by the draft. It now appears that the farmers are in desperate straits for labor, a committee having come to Washington to ask govern- ment for assistance in reaping the harvests, and a general appeal being sent out to all cities to send their idlers' and non-working men to the farms. In order to meet the heavy demands of our allies, it is necessary to raise more than the average yearly crop, and this will be doubly difficult this year with so much of the labor un- available. The boys between the ages of 16 and 21 constitute the largest untapped labor supply, and they are being counted on to furnish the de- ficiency. Boys May Be Drafted, Under present indications, however, it seems that if our program of feed- ing our allies, our own fighting men, and our people at home, is to go through, the whole effort must be placed on something more than a voluntary basis, and it would not be surprising to see all boys of these ages drafted for farm service. Michigan Reserve Successful The reserve has been in force in Michigan for more tharr a year, and from all reports it is highly success- ful. The boys are enthusiastic about the work, and are eager to help their country in this way. C. A. Parcells, government expert, is in charge of the work for this state, and says that the coming year will exceed the pre-' ceeding one, which was largely ex- perimental. Many of the boys have already been placed on farms, and have worked there the past summer, and both the farmers and the boys have been pleased with the results.
