Each day now the stern realities OF
war are being brought home closer to
Richmond people. There are now sew
eral hundred homes in the city sad
dened by the absence. or the prospect
i've absence Of son. summoned to the
fighting forces OF the republic.
Over one hundred Richmond men
have enlisted in either the army or
the navy since the declaration Of war,
several have just departed for the In
dianapolis training camp to learn to
be officers. and in few days there
other Richmond men between the ages
Of II and 81 who will be listed for con-
scription.

These conscripts will not be called

never before in the county's history
has there been such great acreage
under cultivation.
Grow More Crops.
Realizing that the man with the hoe
is to be as important factor In win
ming the war as the man with the rifle,
prompt response has been given by
Wayne county people to the urgent
call Of greater food production.
One problem, and q mighty serious
one, which war is to bring to the far
mers of the county Is due to put in its
appearance very shortly now. 1t is a
problem which must be satisfactorily
solved or all the plans for war corps
will come TO naught.
Problem Of Labor 10 Serious.
1t is the problem OF field labor for
the farmers. Its solution cannot be
found unless the citizens Of Richmond
lend all possible aid to their -neighbOrs
in the country districts.
For several years there has been a
great scarcity Of farm labor. This year
there will be even greater shortage
Of field hands unless some practical
plan is hit upon, to secure volunteers
who can be depended upon to come to
the relief Of the farmers when they
send forth their call for help.
