BAKERS AND BAKERS HELP
BADLY NEEDED BY ARMY

/. The following letter is bling mailed
out to bakers throughout the United
States by the. government in an effort
to get the required number of bakers
to feed our immense army:
There is great need for frst-class
bakers and bakers helpers in the u.
S, Army at the present time.
We are writing to ask if you will not
assist us in securing the enlistment of
some of the bakers of your acquaint-
ance. By SO doing, you will not only
be serving your country but will also
be doing favor to the men them
selves.
First, it is a real service to your
country to assist in putting the right
man in the right plcac. We do not
want baker making guns, or sharp
shooter to make bread. The only way
that we can put each man in the po-
sition best suited to him is by the as
have any unmarried, able-bodied
bakers in your employ between the
ages of Is and As, we appeal to you
to show your patriotism by personal
ly urging them to enlist. We realize
fully the inconvenience to which this
may put you through temporary
shortage of labor, but we think that
the present crisis justifes us in asking
each man to show his patriotism in
Ia practical way.
Second, there is right now a splen-
did chance for competent baker to
enter the army with the prospect for
carly promotion to the grade of SER
geant The lowest pay for a sergeant
is $1,000 per month. 1t must be re-
mcmbered that this is in addition to
his board, lodging, clothes, medical
attendance, and in fact, practically all
necessary expenses. Here is a rare
opportunity for a man to serve his
country and at the same time serve
himself. Men that come first will nat
urally have great advantage over
those that come later.
There is also chance for promo
ton to the grade of first lieutenant in
bakery companies for men who have
high school education Any man
interested should call at the nearest
recruiting station or see local post
master.

WAR TO NOT INTERFERE
WITH EDUCATION
THIS YEAR

Atlanta. Ga, July 25.-MatricIa-
ton figures OF Emory University show
that not only will the attendance this
fall be as large as usual but even
larger, thus contradicting the expecta-
ton and in some quarters the predict
ion that student enrollments would
fall off on account of the war.
Bishop Warren A. Gambler, chancel-
lor OF Ecory University, has received
from all parts of the South assurances
that foretell the return of the major
ity of undergraduates and the largest
number of new men in the history
Of every branch of Emory.
Notwithstanding war conditions,
states the Bishop, the progress OF
Emory University is steady and con-
sistent. We are extremely gratihed
over conditions in the law, medical
academic, theological and all other de-
partments."
The medical department will begin
the new term with four new modern
buildings. Professor Ralph S. Bauer
distinguished instructor and author oil
text books, has been added to the
faculty of the law department. Mel.
vile H. Stevenson, an alumnus of "
Nj. l.. will be in charge Of the military
work of the University.

A man plays a game, or runs race.

What is he to do? He strangled his
chance newborn. He exchanged his
Oirthright for pottage. 1t is Of no
avail to plead that he had bad advis-
