tell me a few things. Are our work

''Yes. Ginty said there were only

him. Most of the two shifts are stay

Good. 1 shan't need the colonel,

other question: you know Sheriff
Harding fairly well, don't you? What
sort of a man is he?"
Square as a die, and as nervy as

JUNE S REGISTRATION DAY.

June 5 has been designated by President Wilson as the
day when all male citizens between the ages of 81 and 81 in
elusive shall go to the polling places of their respective COM
munities and register, which registration will show date of birth
and sundry other things that will give the war department a line
on every citizen of those ages throughout the country.
1t is the duty of every citizen to aid in the registration.
1t Is incumbent on every man, woman and child throughout
the length and breadth of the land to talk Uncle Sans side of
this war-and there is but one right side and that is the side
Uncle Sam is on-and not only talk his side of the war, but
work to make sure and certain the high and noble purpose he
has set to accomplish in the war. 1t is the duty of every men,
Der of a family to stand shoulder to shoulder when the family
is assaled from the outside. The boy or girl that will not stand
by his father, whether that father be right or wrong. is not
worth a hurrah in the hottest regions ever written about. It
becomes more and more evident as the days roll by that Ger
many started out in this war to conquer the world. There is
little doubt in the mind of any reasoning person that had the
many trumphed over England and France and their allies, that
the German Kaiser would not have then turned his attention
to this country. 1t was just a question of whether we would
fight the devil when somebody else was fighting him or wait
until he was rested and could give his attention to us unmolested
by any one else. Selfrespect forbade taking any more insults
from the Kaiser. Outlaws are at our gates. Bricks and other
missiles are being hurled at our doors; then shall we play the
Liliputian or shall we, like our fathers, shoulder our guns and
take our places along the line where duty calls? Those who
are not called to the front are called to do something at home.
Therefore it is that we say Registration day is an epoch
making day in the history of our country. The head of our
government has sounded the danger signal; he has made the
call, he has pointed out our duty and we should acQuesce
heartily in what he asks us to do.
The voice of George Washington speaks to us today. JEFF
ferson is heard in asking us to stand by the Declaration of In
dependence. Franklin speaks out of the distant past; Jackson
tells us what he did at New Orleans; Jefferson Davis and Taylor
lure us to be true to our fathers and the wives, the sons and the
daughters of today ask us to protect them from what the women
and the children of Belgium and northern France have been
subjected to by the Germans.

THE WOMAN WHO WAITS.

The woman who waits for her mans
return
Is doing cher bit" for the flag;
Witch aching heart and fearful eyes
She is serving the Grand Old
Rag"
Through the long, long hours of
darkest night
She prays for the one who serves;
Through the daylight hours she
strains her sight
Scanning the list with tortured
nerves,
OF the wounded and killed in the
fight.
Oh, the woman who waits has the
hardest part
OF the struggle to down the Hun,
Hers be the glory. the honor! the
praise!
When the final victory's won!
The man can die with a free, glad
heart,
He can lay him down with a will;
But the woman who waits must do
her part
When all the world is still.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1917-05-25

Through the long, dark hours she
lies awake
Praying to God, for dear Christ's
sake:
Grant to the Land of the Brave and
Free
The final, enduring victory
And oh, dear God. send back to me
Ger the storm-tossed waves of the
angry sea,
To the m who waits send back to
Ny Man!

Tie Company, of Chicago, has raised
the salaries of all their white m

There is a measure now being considered by Congress

winds that have greatly minimized the effect of the rain. At
the present the crop outlook is by no means encouraging.
In 1916 Arkansas produced 6,31O, 900 bushels of rice on
$4,000 acres. During the last eight years the crop has in.
creased nearly. 1,4OO per cent. The crop of 1916 brought
~S6,10O,OOO. The total rice production of the United States
for 1916, was 4o.7O2, 900 bushels, against 2s,947 900 for 1918,
and 25,265,6oO bushels for the fveyear average of 1911 to
1915, inclusive. Of all the grain crops for 1916, rice is the
only one in which there was no shortage.
There is a great shortage in the supply of tin. 1t is au-
thorltatlvely stated that the demand for tin cans this summer
will be fully 40 per cent above the supply, hence the Depar-
ment OF Commerce at Washington has urged the greatest econ
omy in the use of cans and that substitutions be made wherever
possible. A very large per cent of the worlds tin is mined in
the Straits Settlements and in Bolivia and the output has here
tofore been handled by European firms which have sold the
refined product to American and to European manufacturers.
A smelling plant has been erected in New Jersey since the out
break of the war, which will buy direct from Bolivia. i
