Show CHANCE FOR HIGH SCHOOL BOYS The high school boys of Los Angeles have volunteered their services to save the sugar beet crop of the great fertile fer-tile valleys near that city. War has taken from the district dis-trict the Mexican and much of the Japanese labor formerly employed for thinning the beets which, by the way is a back-breaking job. The high school boys have responded to the need and young armies of them are busily at work at the task. It's a lot better for them too than loafing in pool hall, wasting their time on street and even in school room, for there is very little school work accomplished now, we are informed, among college and high school students stu-dents in any part of the country. Nearly entire classes have in some cases enlisted in army or navy arid scarcely ' a class in the land that has not had its ranks broken by enlistments. o |
