Acting under the request of Presi-
dent Wilson and Herbert w. Hoover,
national food administrator, the food
pledge card signature week has been
postponed for one week This has
been made necessary because the
President thinks it would be unwise
to close both the liberty loan cam
paign and the food pledge card cam.
paign on the same date. Therefore
the food pledge signature campaign
week will begin on October % and
close on November 4.
The following telegram received yes
terday by J. l. Finney, chairman of
the publicity committee of the food
administration is self-explanatory:

OCTOBER rs, 1903, REGIS
TERED %.

Not since the establishing of the
voluntary weather observatory at Ash
wood by Mrs. Joe Fleming has there
been such a low register of the ther-
mometer this early in October. The
mercury registered "a during the night
and there was plenty of ice this morn
ing. A hoary frost covered the ground
and vegetation looked like hot scalding
water had been pouerd upon it after
Old Sol came up and began to shine.
In 1903 October 25 the thermometer
went down to % degrees, but that was
twelve days later in the month New
er before has it been so cold this early
in october so far as all records show,
as kept by Mrs. Fleming.
The farmers are of the opinion that
the freeze Friday night was great
blessing to the county and that there
il no doubt but that it finished up the

TWO HUNDRED.
Il. 2. FUlTtN MADE PRlSI.INT
Divided Into Three Bodies-BibIe
Study Personal Work and Civic
righteousness, or Law Enforce
ment.

With a membership of more than
two hundred enthusiastic Christian
men and the soliciting still going on,
the Mems Christian Workers League
OF Columbia, was organized Sunday
afternoon at the tabernacle at the con.
clusion Of strong sermon preached
by Evangelist Bob Jones, at which
time he took for his subject you
Can't do Wrong and Get Away With
It," Be sure your sins will find you
out, was really the theme of his sub.
ject.
Mr.. Jones preached a powerful ser.
mon and told the thousand or fifteen
hundred men present many things in
their lives that would hamper them
the balance of their existence and
would be visited upon the future gen.
erations. 1t was the most telling ar
gument against sin and vice that the
able evangelist had delivered in Co.
lumbia during his three weeks stay.
An offertory was taken for the
eyangelistic party, at which time a
handsome sum was realized.
The organization of the league was
perfected by the ushers passing cards
through the audience and getting sig
natures of the men willing to enlist
in this worthy cause, and when the
cards were taken up and counted it
was found that there were nearly two
hundred, and at the meeting Sunday
night several more cards were turned
in, running the number over two hun
bred.
The organization was then perfect
ed by the nomination of H. 0. Fulton
as president; W. B. Greenlaw, vice.
president and c. A. Sloan, secretary
and treasurer. These nominations
were unanimously made the choice of
the league.
The announcement was then made
that the departments would be headed
as follows First, the Bible J. H. Din
ming, superintendent, with Judge John
W. Fry and Judge Sam Holding as as
sistants. -r
Second, Personal Workers depart
ment-W. S. Fleming, superintendent,
with f. P. Turner and George Park
as assistants
Third, Civic Reform department..
F. Brownlow, superintendent, with R.
l.. Mckinney and Judge w. B. Turner,
assistants.
The first meeting OF the league will
be held Sunday afternoon at three
o'clock in the First Presbyterian
church. There are quite number of
men interested in this work that are
still soliciting membership and it is
hoped by next Sunday afternoon that
there will be an enrolment of three
hundred or more.

AUSTRALIAN WOMEN TO
ASSIST RECRUITING BY
OSTRACIZING "SLACKRRS.'

MELBOURNE, Australia, March 30,
Senator George F. Pearce, the Aus
traian Minister for Defense, has an
nounced that, in conformity with the
requirements of the British War Office,
$500 men a month were still required
to reinforce the Australian expedition
airy Force at the front The number
OF volunteers in January was not near
~ sufficient to enable achievements
to be maintained on the basis required
by the War Office, as only 5,348 men
enlisted in that month.
Notwithstanding this marked falling
off in enlistment compared with the
corresponding period last year. the
efforts of the Director-General of Re
cruiting, Donald Mackinnon, and other
persons, both men and women, were
gradually increasing the number OF
volunteers. But even this is not salts
factory to the government and every
means known to the voluntary system
is being employed toward augmenting
the Amzacs.
Under his scheme for fetching men
to the colors, Mr.. Mackinnon suggests
that women be persuaded to give up
the companiOnship of military eligible;
who have refrained from enlisting.
Hearts must be steeled." he says, so
that every woman can say firmly to
any eligible man no matter in what
relation he stands TO her: You ought
to 60" The director proceeds TO
point out that womens influence in
the present recruiting movement is
vital True it demands sacrifice and
the softer feelings of womanhood may
have to be suppressed, but, he says,
only the single aim must be kept n
sight-that men are necessary to win
the war. He goes on to say that it is
not necessary to use scorn OF contempt
toward men who may appear to be
slow to realize and perform their duty
toward their country. A slight pres
ure of feminine persuasion he conSid
ers worth a battering ram Of raillery
or indignation. When al else fails
then may arrive the moment, he de-
