Frank Bacon, '02, is now enrolling
students in the United States boys'
working reserve, at the Union.
Men from 16 to 21 years of age are
eligible to enlist for farm work during
the summer vacation. They will help
the farmer gather his crops and will
assist in general farm labor.
The purpose of enlisting boys for
this work is outlined in the following
statement issued recently by Hon.
Woodbridge N. Ferris, ex-governor of
Michigan:
"The United States boys' working
reserve can be made an exceedingly
valuable organization. The boys
should clearly understand that they
are enlisting to do war service. They
are to have the same regard for com-
mands that soldiers have. They must
entertain the notion that they are not
going out on the farms for a play
spell, but to enter actual service and to
endure some hardships.
Is Serious Undertaking
"The truth of the matter is that
work on a farm, like fighting i the
trenches, is a serious undertaking and
requires real backbone. A soldier can-
not expect to have the same pleasant
surroundings in war that he has in a
steam-heated house. Furthermore, he
cannot expect that his bill of fare is
going to consist of dainties. On the'
farm the boys will have plain whole-
some food.
Valuable Training
"Two or three months on a farm will
be worth a year of ordinary school
training,from the standpoint of devel-
oping manhood. The most important
influences in my education were gain-
ed on the farm. It was there that I
learned to get up in the morning
whether I wanted to or not. It was
there that I learned to do many kinds-
of work that I did not like. It was
there, too, that I learned to get joy
out of homely activities.
"The mysteries of the farm are com-
paratively few, and boys who have a
real inclination to work will, in a few
days, be able to render invaluable
service to the farmer.
"I consider this the greatest oppor-
tunity that has ever been offered to
the boys of this country."
Mr. Bacon, as enrolling officer for
Washtenaw county, will be glad to
give further information to students
interested in this project.

Paris is still a pretty gay city in
spite of the war, says Lieut. Rufus R.
Loveland, ex-'18E, in a recent letter
to Homer Heath, '07, general secre-
tary of the Union. Excerpts from the
communication, postmarked "Some-
where in France," follow:
"Sometime ago I was in Paris, so I
took the opportunity to go over to the
University Union and give it the once
over. It surely is a fine thing for
the boys over here who are lucky
enough to get a 'Paris leave.'
"I might say that, though Paris
leaves are few and far between, I
spent eight days there while await-
ing orders, and it is still a pretty
gay city. It's beyond may imagina-
tion to figure out just what kind of a
city it is in peace times.
"Just at present I'm attending an
engineer's school in which there are
two other Michigan men, Lieut. Earl
B. Miller, '15E, and Capt. Alex L.
Trout, '10E. Theron D. Weaver, '16E,
is located just a few miles from here.
I heard he has just returned from the
front.
"Have not seen the front yet, but
am living in hopes. We can, however,
hear the large guns about 5 o'clock in
the morning when everything is still."

U. S. AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT
WARNS AGAINST RUST SPREAD

Thirty students of the forestry de-
partment journeyed to the forestry
farm Friday afternoon for their annual
field day and camping trip. Four tents
and a complete camping outfit were
sent to the farm by motor truck.
Games, contests, and exhibitions were
held on Saturday according to cus-
tom. A baseball ganie, in which the
students' team defeated the faculty
nine, was substituted for one sched-
uled between, the upper and lower
classes. The wood-chopping contest
was won by a visiting alumnus, E. A.
Gallop, '15, who chopped an eight-inch
stick in half in eight minutes and 29
seconds. Gallop, assisted by J. A.
Marshall, the forestry farm attendant,
also carried off first honors in the saw-
ing contest. R. C. Ely, '19, and C. B.
Webster, '19, took second place. Web-
