tanned the age of twenty-one since

This would entail a new registra-
ton and another draft, especially for
The twenty-one-yearo class. State
quotas would have to be apportioned
and all the machinery of the former
draft gone through.
There is little doubt that such a
move will be made, out the question
now before officials is when to make

Secretary Baker today discussed the
problem, but refused to indicate when
such request might be objected to

 HOME DEMONSTRATION AGENT

The world stands aside for the woman who knows where she is going" "
 Does the woman of the South know where she is going today She does. She is going to stand by her men and her country in the war. She is going to be the prop for the first line of defense.
 The women are waking up to the fact that food must be pro. duced and conserved; that the food supply is a national problem of defense as important as men and guns, ships and cannons.
 The people at heme have to eat, the army must eat.
 This is a self evident fact. unless we raise and save our food. we go hungry.
 Another truth just as plain is: Tho this should prove to be a nightmare of war and tho we wake up to find the sun beam ing on peaceful day, we will be richer because of this extra effort for food preparedness.
 The woman's part in this great movement is to see that gardens are planted, planted with plenty of vegetables to eat and to can. This means plant more than you have ever planted before. Have patches" of corn, beans, peas, tomatoes, with kaf- fir corn and sUnfower patches" for the chickens.
 Stop selling the hens and go to setting them. There must be more eggs and chickens than ever before.
