ORGANIZING THE NATION

"Conscription" is an unpleasant
word So is draft" Even the
phrase. "selective CONSUMPTION" has
failed to take the edge off the popu-
lar preiudice aginst the system fav-
cred by the president, the army and
navy authorities and most Of the men
in positions of public responsibility
throughout the country.
Perhaps we need a new phrase.
Certainly the thing itself is not so
Objectionable as the critics represent
il. No such draft" is proposed as
the only one of which our nation has
had experience-the civil war draft.
That was a system of partial and vic
ious application. which permitted the
rich or well-to-do citizen to buy i'm
munity from military service and
sent the poor man to the front. 1t
was not universal servie." and 1t
was not democratic.
Present plans have little in COM
mon with that system. They propose
a democratic standard of service ad-
hitting of no evasions among the
eligible. and yet making all proper
exceptions for physical incapacity,
support of dependents. etc. And
there is another vitally important dis
tinction.
The civil war draft took men only
for the army. No service was con-
sidered but military service. Today,
in accordance with the vastly differ
ent conditions of modern warfare. the
eligible citizen is to be enlisted for
national service. which is something
ncmparably bigger and broader.
European experience has shown
that II now requires five men behind
the lines for every soldier at the
front. That is TO say. only one man
out OF six is used for actual fighting.
But instead OF combining compul-
sorry service to that sixth man who
wears uniform. we are to apply 1t
TO the whole six. Under universal
service law. the entire able-bodied
and able-minded manhood Of the
country would be enlisted. and then
every man would be assigned to the
work for which he was most fitted.
There are four great classes OF SOL
diers in this war OF naotions. There
are the fighting men, the transporta-
ton men. the factory workers and the
agricultural workers. The last three
classes are every bit as important as
the first. Their ranks must be kept
filled. A proper proportion must be
maintained among the four classes. 1t
can only be done by thorough organi-
cation OF the nations male citizen
ship.
The so-called "conscription" plan
would simply register every man, and
then tell him to do what he can do
best. II he's potentially good fight
er, very well-he'll be soldier. There
are millions of Americans who would
like to be soldiers. But the chances
are at least five to one that he'll be
kept in civilian life, with credentials
to show he's no Stacker" And he'll
be working under intelligent Federal
direction. knowing that all the work
of his hand and brain win count to-

TOMNlIE TOMKINS TELLS
ABOUT THE SPIDER
(By l.. Roy Ferris.)

"Mr. Spider" says Tommy Tomp-
kins, ''is not such bad fellow after
all, tho he has a few relatives in
the southren climates that are really
bad, but the ones we know are only
bluffs"
Now there is the Funnel-web Spi-
der" says Tommy, that spins its
web from bush to bush and makes
the neatest little pocket in the web
where his highness lies in wait
dashing out when a nice fat fly blum
ders into the web. The first thing
he does is to tie Mr.. Fly hand and
foot, much like cowboy ties a
steer, and when he is ready for
dinner he sucks its blood like Slim
Weasel did Betsy, the hen. He
then throws overheard what is left
No washing dishes for Mr. Spider;
he Just repairs the holes Mr.. Fly
kicked in the net and lies down for
nap"
The Orb Spider, tho, is the best
architect. He doesn't have lot
of high-priced plans, but merely
starts to work by flying a silken
thread in the breeze, as Tommy does
his kite, and when the other end
anchors on limb he draws in the
slack making it taut. Now the
funniest thing happens. He walks
across the silken cord like the tight
rope walker in the circus and Tommie
imigines he would say, Now, Lady
Bug, Fidler Cricket, June Bug,
Grasshopper, with your undivided
attention will endeavor to show
you trick in tight rope walking
never before equsled in the world.

AUTO DEALERS.
They're Selling From 80 TO 05 Per
Cent to The Farmers-The Mail
Order House Deals.

Mexico has the following automo-
bile dealers: Mutton & Sands, Hox-
ey C Sunnen, ]. T. McCue, l. N. Bal
ley, Creigh Brothers, Pollock G.
Towls, and Franklin & Gamble.
The Message interviewed these
firms last week as to what per cent
of their sales are to farmers.
Mutton & Sands handle the Buick
and Overland; 95 per cent of their
sales are to the farming public.
Hoxsey and Sunnen handle the Ca
dillac, Dodge, Chevrolet, Hudson,
and Chalmers; 60 per cent sold to
the farmers.
l. N. Bailey sells rs per cent to
the farmers; Creigh Brothers, 60
per cent; Pollock & fowls and Frank
lin & Gamble sell near the figures
given above, to the farmers.
One Mexico auto dealer declared
that Mexico folks wall against the
mail order houses, but when one of
our citizenry wants an auto he goes
down to st. Louis and makes his pur-
chase, and the home dealer is left
holding the sack. Now what do you
think of that?

CALLED TO GEORGIA.
Former Audrain Man Accepts ImpOr-
tant PastOrate in The Southland
A Field of Unusual Opportunity.

Rev. Roswell P. Henderson, son of
Mr.. T. c. Henderson of Molino, has
accepted a call to the Presbyterian
Church of Douglass, Georgia. The
organization is a new one and had
only 10 members at the time Mr..
Henderson took charge, the first of
May. There have been 29 additions
since he began his work. Sunday,
the gath of June, the Presbytery of
Savannah ordained and installed Mr..
Henderson as pastor for all of his
time.
1t is interesting to know that this
brother received other calls at larger
salaries, but preferred to go where
he could render a more useful serv-
ice and where the need was greater.
Douglass is a town of some 5000
people with only three Protestant
churches Baptist, Methodist and
Presbyterian and presents unusual
opportunities for wide-awake
preacher.
Mr.. Henderson was born and rear
ed in the bounds of Bethel Presbyte-
rian Church, this county, and is the
third member of that congregation.
