KILLING OF CALVES
CAUSE OF MEAT SHORTAGE
Daddy Glover Talks About Human
And Real Cattle

Men are but childreh of larger
growth" and cows were but calves
three years ago. Again comparing
human and real cattle we are re-
minded of the effect of war upon the
standards of the human race, physi-
cally, numerically and otherwise,
anent the war on heifer calves and
the inevitable beef and milk short
age.
Recent legislation making it un-
lawful to slaughter female cattle has
caused us to sit up and take notice.
If it is bad economy to slaughter
calves, and thus endanger the food
supply, in time of war, the question
arises whether or no the same eco
nomic principle does not obtain in
time of peace. Argentina has long
since made it felony to slaughter
calves it is only a question of time
before we will have no cows. Is it
not penny wise and pound fool
ish" policy to kill the future COW in
order to get the dirty dollar in our
hand right on the spot. The farmer
gets the dollar or two for the calf,
and sixteen cents a gallon for his
milk in thirty days and this knocks
him off his economic perch. Keep
ing the calf until it becomes a COW
means an investment with slow re-
turns, but with mighty satisfactory
returns considering the present
prices of good milch cows.
So, now behold the inevitable
drouth and famine from cutting off
Tie stream at it's source Yes, the
fact cannot be denied that we have
killed so many calves that both our
milk supply and our meat supply is
on the blink and good milch COW is
almost worth her weight in gold.
Here is the propositions: In the
long run, is cows milk too valu-
able to feed to a cows calf?-Geo.

COOKS AND BAKERS FOR ARMY

Bakers and cooks have been Sc
much in demand for the United Sta.
tes army that the war department
has sent out the following instruc
tions to the officers of the general
recruiting service:
BY direction of the adjutant-gen.
eral the following letter from the
quartermaster-general, dated June %,
IVY, is quoted for the information
and guidance of all concerned:
Il. In order that the training of
bakers and cooks for the increased
forces may be started at once it is
requested that 1,7OO privates to be
trained as bakers and 500 privates to
be trained as cooks be transferred
to the quartermaster corps at once.
"2 These should as far as possi.
Die be from men who have had ex.
perience as cooks and bakers in the
army, or in civil life. If not they
should be men of good physique.
strong and robust, who are willing
to be trained as bakers and cooks
"3. In the event that there are not
sufficient recruits possessing these
qualifications at the recruit depot and
depot posts, it is further recon.
mended that recruiting officers be
authorized to recruit the required
number. If possible, certain physic-
al defects should be waived. A man
might be physically able to perform
the duties of baker yet have GER
tain minor defects (such as fiat feet)
which would incapaciate him for
marching with infantry.
a 1t should be explained to the
men that the opportunity for pro-
motion is unusual in the bakery CON-
panies.
"5. The names of these men
should be reported to this office as
soon as possible, in order that they
may be assigned to bakery compan.
les and schools for instruction.
Enlistment of these cooks and .ba.
kers is deired at the earliest prac-
ticable date.

shown us during Cleo's recent sick

you come in and see him, and we feel
grateful. Before he died he spoke
Of Bro. Craig, who was $50 good to
come and see him and talk of the
great white city where he was going.
We will always have warm feeling
for the Cookeville Quartet, who came
the night he lay corpse and sang
three nice hymns. We want to
thank the ladies of the town and
country for the beautiful flowers
that they brought to the home and
cemetery both. When the casket was
lowered into the grave it was covered
with fine flowers and then when the
grave was filled and mounded up it
was covered with flowers, also. We
also thank Bro. Craig for his kind
ness in conducting the funeral at our
home and the burial at the cemetery
All was done that could have been
done. So may God bless you all is

THE WAR DRAFT

indications are now that the work
of actually drafting men for the army
will begin in Washington any day,
the delay being caused by a few
states that have not as yet sent in
their complete numbered registration
lists. The exact method to be used
in drawing the names has not been
made public. We understand that
all the numbers will be drawn, those
drawn first will have to appear first
before the exemption boards for ex-
animation and exemption or service.
In Putnam county the numbers run
from l to 1866 and by districts from
! to 20. The numbers by districts
are as follows:
First district, l to 316; Sc ond 317
to 369; Third $40 to 436: Fourth 437
to SIS; Fifth SIG to 54S; Sixth SAG
to 6O4; Seventh COS to $50; Eighth
6S4 to 76O; Ninth 761 to 7s1; Tenth
1872 to S4S; Eleventh $40 to 91S.
Twelfth 919 to 953 Thirteenth s54
to 1913; Fourteenth 1920 to J14s:
Fifteenth 1149 to 1924; Sixteenth 12-
25 to 1881; Seventeenth 1882 to 1912;
Eighteenth 1343 to 1896; Nineteenth
1897 to 1893; Twentieth 1899 to 15-
65. No. 1866 apparently belongs to
the 14th district.
The Herald of next week will con-
tain the names and number of every
registered man in Putnam county,
showing the district in which he
registerd. This list will make a page
of the paper and will be of perma.
nent value. We will print num-
Der of the list on cardboard thar
may be tackled up ON the wall fo~
handy reference and will furnish
them to anyone wanting one at 10c
