Food Campaign Organized.

The food campaign has been or
ganized in III of the 100 counties
of the State. County Chairmen
have been appointed in each of
these III counties of which Powell
is one. Mrs. Kate S. Bohannon, of
Stanton, is our County Chairman.
The idea is to establish a systemat-
ic and economical food consump-
ton in all parts of the State that
there may be a plenty to go round
and still have a plenty left. Good
idea but the success of its operation
is very dubious.

Young Men In Demand.

The Government needs thou
sands of young men for telegraph
operators and signal corps service.
1t is claimed that schools through
out the 0untry will be equipped to
teach the latter service and the
Courier-Joufnal Saturday say the
recruiting stations there are now en-
listing young men for the telegraph
service. 1t behooves capable young
men to prepare for this branch of
service rather than later be drafted
for trench fighting.

A BOOKKEEPER WITH
STEEL BRAINS.
Oets Voluntary Sentence for Life at
Powell County Deposit Bank.

The volume of business trans.
acted by the Powell County De-
posit Bank had grown to a point
where more clerical assistance
was absolutely necessary. Cash
ier q. G. Atkinson called the di-
rectors together and explained
the situation.
1--WE need more help on our
books" he stated. "Business
demands we speed up the hand.
ling of our accounts if for no
other reason than to give the
best service to depositors."
When the cry Help Wanted"
was sent out, one application re-
ceived in response compelled at
tention because of its originality
and evident merit. 1t reads as
follows:
"To the Officers and Directors
of the Powell County Deposit
Bank, Gentlemen: | desire to
present herewith my application
for employment as bOOkkeeper
in your institution, | am of ma
ture age and of steady habits. |
do not dring, smoke, chew or use
profane language and am not
given to running around nights.
My associates are always of the
highest character and | have the
best education that money can
buy. | am steady, unencumbered
and want only permanent posi-
tion. | was never known to make
an error and if anything goes
wrong with me you need not pay
me cent. Here is my propOsi.
tion: Buy me outright for less
money than it takes to pay an
ordinary bookkeeper's yearly sal.
ary and I'll get to work at once
in your accounting department
and remain there "A lifetime with
out further remuneration. Clerks
may come and clerks may go but
III keep on forever. Yours for
better service. A Burroughs. "
The reading of this application
resulted in bringing Mr.. A Bar
roughs before the directorate.
Burroughs came in arm in arm
with several close friends.
"Gentlemen," said the agent
representing Burroughs, "allow
me to make you acquainted with
the most remarkable accountant
in the business world today. It's
a machine whose life blood is an
electric current, but whose brains
warrant it to be assumed to have
human intelligence and to be
even more correct than the hu-
nun brain"
The directorate sat forward
with keen interest

Produces 11-Pound Turnip.

Turnip growers have had good season this year, and are vieing with one another for the honor of provid- ing the agricultural museum at the state capitol with the largest speci men. Unless someone produces a tur nip weighing more than II pounds and measuring more than 28 1-2 inches in circumference and three feet from the tip of its root to the top of It's foliage, the prize will go to E. K. Smith, farmer living near Crossett, whose contribution was received. To preserve this turnip glass jar three feet high and IS inches in diameter was required. The grower gathered a double wagon box full of these tur- nips from three short rows across his garden. He is diversified farmer, raising, besides turnips, hogs, cattle, corn and cotton.
