DISABLED YANKS
Men Are Being Taught to
Operate Modern
Tractors
Washington, Feb. 14. —Labor Is

FRIDAY EVENING,
foro injury wore farm boys. With
this background of agricultural
knowledge these men are -being
taught to operate mo'dern tractors
which do the work of many teams
and men. They are being taught
operation, care and up-keep of mo
tor trucks and other gas engines.
They are being given a general
course in looking after all machin
ery used on modern farms, and in
dications ate that the supply of these
specially trained men will not begin
to equal the demand. Farpi hands
who before the war, could not hope
to make more thau $25 or $3O a
month as laborers, can by becoming
proficient as farm mechanics, quali
fy-for positions paying from $lOO to
$125 peg month with steady employ
ment the year around.

l>y military police last night, when
they decided he had stayed in one
place long enough. He says he is
on his way to Denver, Col.
