To Train for
Army Officers

Messrs. Edward A. Rozier, Benz. H
Marbury and j. C. Watson have beer
appointed by the Military Training
Camps Association, to examine appli-
eants who wish to enter the training
camp for the officers reserve corps of
the United States army. Men of this
vicinity who may wish to enter upon
such training must apply to them by
May 9Th and not later than May 14th.
Now that conscript is a certainty
and will soon be enforced, it is up
to the people of this city to decide
whether their troops will be led by
their own citizens or by officers from
other cities or other States.
1t is planned now that troops from
different localities will be command
ed by officers from their own city. 1t
is up to the men of this city now to
see that there is a sufficient number
of officers trained to meet the demand.
Are we going to have someone from
another city or from another State
leading our troops?
A camp will be held near by to fit
these men toN be officers. All expense
incident to attendance will be borne
by the government.
A college education is valuable but
is not essential. Any man with ex-
perience in executive positions is
wanted, whether at the head of bus
mess or at the head of an important
department in business.
Such men are needed and are need
ed especially right now for the first
volunteer officers.
Applications are being received by
mail or in person at Room SOP, Mill
tary Training Camp Association, at
the War Department, Chicago.
Many applicants for officers re-
serve corps who have been prelimi-
narily accepted have been anxiously
awaiting notice of actual selection.
Some civilians appear to have mis-
understood the instructions, believ-
ing that the approval of their fitness
guaranteed final selection. Accord
ingly Col Heistand issued an order
containing various instructions, and
among them the following:
"The fact that you have been re-
ported as suitable by the board which
examined you and have been given
the duplicate copy of application card
does not authorize you to enter the
camp. AS noted under directions on
the back of the card which you were
instructed to read and follow, the
Camp Commander will select and no.
tify $500 men for each camp to at
tend. More than the fortunate $500
may be certified as suitable by the
boards which examine them; but Of
these only $500 may attend The
camp commander will send to each
one of these $500, except members of
the Engineer Company, a postal card
instructing him to report. Upon re-
ceipt of this postal card the candidate
will start for the camp"

An Important
Farmers Meeting

ing was held at the Court House We'd
nesday afternoon, the purpose OF
which was to impress the necessity
of organization and the cultivation OF
larger food crops to meet the demands
which war has made and continues to
make upon the food supply Of the
country, greater now than ever that
the United States has been drawn in
to the mighty struggle that is engag-
ing more than half of the world.
Thirty-one districts of the county
were represented at the meeting, and
interesting talks were made by q
number of persons along the lines of
more intenes farming and the great
necessity of putting in larger food
crops than heretofore. All that can
be raised will be needed, as not only
our own people and army must be
fed, but the Allied Powers of Europe,
of whom our declaration of war with
Germany makes us one, must depend
largely upon the farmer of the Unit
ed States to supply their peoples and
armies.
In this work the farmer is doing
service as patriotic, and even more
important than the soldier in the
trenches, for without sufficient food
the army would be weak and inetfec-
tive. County Farm Agent Foard i'm
pressed upon those present not only
the necessity of increasing in every
way possible their crops, but that
when they were harvested the strict
est economy chould be practiced so
that nothing would go to waste.
A number of places were named
where farm board meetings will be
held to organize and put in working
shape farm clubs, as follows: Liber-
tyville, Unity School House, Copenha-
gen, Desloge, Leadwood, French Viii
lage, Hazel Run, Bonne Terre, Esther,
Frankclay, Bismarck, Doe Run, Lough-
boro, Barton School House, Farming
ton and other points.
The following resolutions were pre-
sented and adopted by the meeting:
Resolutions.
Be it resolved:
1st, That we pledge our support to
the President, National and State
Governments in the present crisis;
End, That we pledge our support and
cooperation to our County Agent, our
County Superintendent of Schools,
and Agricultural College in their eff
forts to increase agricultural pro-
ducts;
3rd, That we consider the agricultu-
raj clubs of St. Francois county of
great service at the present time and
therefore we advise and encourage
every citizen Of the county to become
a member of some club; ,.''.,-
4th, That we heartily endorse and
pledge our support to the boys and
girls now organized clubs and desire
to advise the organization of other
clubs;
5th, That agricultural clubs should
consider and discuss the problem of
the character of products. The sta
pie products should be greatly in
creased;
9th, That each agricultural club
should appoint a committee to see
that all available land in its district
is cultivated;
7th, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to our State Agricul- |
tural College, to our State Superin- I
tendent of Schools, to the various
county papers for publication, and
copy spread on the minutes of this

October 31. The case was one in which Brock Little had been convicted of killing q negro, Mitchell Crawford, and had been sentenced to life imprisonment. The testimony showed that Little had become quarrelsome after drinking, and finally had shot Crawford with revolver In affirming the conviction the court of appeal. said
