TRADE REGISTRATION
CARD FOR A UNIFORM
Once a Mans Number Is
Drawn He Can Net Vol
unteer, Says Welch.
BY SERGT. WIN. WEIGH
GU. S. Army Recruiting Office Stationed
in ammcnd

As there are only a few days leTt be-
fore the draft l wish to call the atten-
ton of the young men of the community
to the opportunities of volunteering in
the L. S. army. BY volunteering they
are doing something that one should be
Justly proud Of and it will be a great
deal of satisfaction 10 them in the
years to come 70 nave a discharge show
ing that they went in as a volunteer in
answer to the call Of duty.
The best recommendations for the
regular service are the plain statement
of fact by the men who have already
volunteered their services. There has
not been one case reported TO this office
where any man is not satisfied with
his treatment by his officers and with
food and surroundings. To know that
you will serve under experienced off
GERS, non-commissioned officers and
trained coks who have made a life long
study of taking care of men should make
the regular service an attraction if for
no other reason.
There is reason to believe that eevry
man who has registered will be drafted
but as to whether he will actually have
to serve is not known at this time.
Once a mans number has been drawn
he can no longer volunteer his service
and for that reason a young mar should
give the subject CT volunteering a seri-
Gus consideration at this time.
Young man, why not trade your
registration card for a uniform.

PAY RAISE At CARY

Reports are current in Gary that the
22,500 employees of the steel corporation
are to receive another raise in wages on
August 1. h last increase was on
May l..
Increase in the cost of living and a
disposition to let workmen share in the
prosperity the is having is said
to be the reason for the increases.
The only dark lining in the cloud is
that when the May increase was made
as soon as it got noised around town
rents went up and so did milk, groceries,

In Loving Remembrance of MIS-.
]. Hammond.

On August 2sth, the death Angel
visited the home of Mr.. J. Il. liam,
mond, who lives near Golfers, and
took from him his beloved compan,
ion and transplanted her into the
beautiful city of God, where she
will be with God and the Holy An
gels to await the home coming OF
her loved ones.
She was a sweet Christian WON
an, and all who knew her loved her
To the very last, she had such a
Christ-like spirit.
Fom the life she lived, we know
where this dear one is, and we who
loved her company here, should SO
live that when sickness and conflicts
are passed we can meet her where
there will be no sickness, no sor'
row, no more parting, nor tears.
No mere will her sweet voice be
heard at home, for she has lett a
vacant place there in our hearts
that never can be filled.
We will miss her coming foot
steps, We'll miss her everywhere,
home will not be what it used to be
since this dear mother and wife has
passed away.
''One precious to our hearts has
gone, a voice we loved is still"
But our hearts should be eased OF
pain when we think of what an In
spiration her life has been. WI
tenderest care she has guided her
little ones toddling feet from IN
fancy to manhood and womanhood.
Oh! how hard it is to realize that
she has passed into the spirit land.
Teach US, Heavenly Father to say,
"Thy Will Be Done,'' for we know
that into each life some rain must
fall. May God bless and comfort
the ones that mourn her death.
Dear Julia, our friend,
From this life of toll has gone;
And now is with the Angels
On yonder golden shore.
Our hearts are sad and lonely,
And our eyes dimmed with tears,
As we think of you, dear Julia,
And see your vacant chair.
Dear Julia, we will miss you;
Miss your coming footsteps,
And miss you in our Sunday School;
And we'll miss your smiling cheek.
We loved you dearly, Julia,
But the Angels loved you more;
And in that land of peace and rest,
Well think of you ever more
Farewell, then, dear Julia,
Our loss is Heavens gain;
And when our pilgrimage is ended,
We'll meet in Heaven again.

An Interesting Character

John B. Jobson, the inventor OF
the remarkable ploW which bears MS
name, and eXpounder Of progressive
theories of soil tillage, is one OF tine
most interesting characters in Geor.
gia. He is even more remarkable
than anything he has yet produced,
for his gritty struggle for over htty
years to realize the big dream OF ms
life marks him as man OF unuSua
tenacity of purpose and answering
faith in the soundness of his own
judgment.
Born in Houston county, Georgia,
siXty-six years ago, John B. Jopson
was brought up to know the value OF
honest toll. When nineteen years OF
age he hired out as regular farm
hand at $3.50 per month, and II was
his duty to get up at daybreak ana
blow the horn to start 46-ploW
plantation on its long summer-day
stretch of activity.
1t was just at this time anu on
this very plantation that young JoD-
son began to study the underlylng
principles of plant growth ana planl
culture, and then and there ne con-
ceived the idea of deep reacnlns
tiller that would be. practical for tne
average farmer. Even in those Gays
he worked and schemed to get an IN
strument that would prevent the clay
from being brought to the top 10
bake and clod.
His first ideas, he admits, were Hol
practical, and were laid aslde lot
many years, until he became an eH-
pert mechanically as we'll as agrlcul-
turally. When he did complete MS
oID hn
continued to conduct experiments
and further perfect it until now ne
believes his work is finished ana Inal
nothing further remains to be done
but to give the result OF his LABOR to
the people. 20
AS announced in a recent issue OF
this paper, the Jobson Common
Sense SYSTEM has been brought to
our county and is being lntroauce9
by some Of the most prominent anu
public spirited merchants and ieac'
ers Of the people. az
Copies of the official paper OF Tue
Jobson System, Common Sense
Farming" is being given out free OF
c charge "a r to all who call on these mer-
chants. The paper gives full par.
ticl1lars regarding Mr.. Jobson's ploW
and contains much valuable informaa'
tion on other topics. 1t is. spicy, read
able and extremely useful.
