SPANISH BARBER
CONCERNED over
HIS SON; LEAVES
Fernandez Gets Two Letters
Containing Nothing
FEARS SOME TROUBLE
Has Been Employed At The
Staunton Shop; Holds
Army Comm.
FEARS SOME TROUBLE

Two letters from his son which,
on being opened, contained neither a
scrap of paper nor single message,
sent Raymond Fernandez, a barber
who has been in the employ of James
A. Staunton, flying back to Spain. He
left Wednesday evening.
Fernandez, who has made numer-
GUS friends during his soiourn in this
city, arrived in the United States
about IS months ago from Spain. He
is a brilliant linguist, speaking
English, French, Spanish, German,
Greek and two African dialects. An
accomplished barber, he obtained en-
ployment at the Staunton shop.
Not long ago, Fernandez received a
letter from his son. 1t seemed very
light in weight Opening it, he found
that the message had been removed,
presumably by some sort of censor.
He thought little of this until recently
when another letter, directed to him,
came here. This misslve bore the
name of the publishing firm with
which his son has been employed. 1t
had met like fate at the hands of
some censor.
This succession of letters gave rise
to a thought that all was not well in
Spain with his son and Fernandez
started to make preparations to de-
part. He bade all OF his friends fare
well the early part of this week
some with tears in his eyes. He left
on the 1887 b. & o. train Wednesday
night for Washington, intending to
get his passports there, go thence to
Cuba and then sail for Madrid, Spain.
Fernandez holds a commission in
the Spanish army. 1t is said that
Spain, though professedly neutral,
has been torn for some time by two
factions. One of these, dwelling I'm
the northern part, is bitterly pro-ally
while the other favors the Teutonic
side of the world war. Rumor has 1t
that there have been rather serious
internal disorders in Spain. Whether
Fernandez received any inkling of
this and was requested TO return to
his army commission is not known.

FARM JOBS WANTED
FOR OHIO STUDENTS
How 10 Obtain Places For Thou
sands Of Youths a Problem.

Columbus, April 19.-How to obtain
Jobs on farms for thousands of nigh
school and college young men, releas-
ed from their studies, is one OF the
phases Of the Ohio agricultural prob.
! lem. Farmers are requested to re-
quisition students through their coun.
ty food commissioners.
A statewide campaign to locate Jobs
for city youths mas been launched un-
der direction of Professor Harry G.
Ramsower OF the agricultural college,
Ohio State university.
Colleges In the state which follow
Ohio State university's lead in dis
missing students were asked to fur
nish him names Of students willing to
do farm work but unable to find Jobs.
High school superintendent were
asked to furnish similar information.
Farmers, in turn, are requested TO
notify the food commissioner in their
county IL they need men. Professor
Ramsower, having a line on both de-
mand for and supply Ci labor, will be
able to get men placed without delay.
He said farmers are willing to pay
$3.50 to 81 day, or $25 TO $50 a
month for competent workers. This
includes room and board.
Ten thousand college and high
school students in Ohio must be al
lowed to drop their school work at
once and be put to work on farms II
the campaign to produce bumper
crops In this state Is to succeed. This
is the opinion OF Governor Cox and
members Of the agricultural division
OF the state council OF defense. The
latter sent letter to forty college
presidents and 1000 school superin-
tendents, urging them to release all
students over sixteen years OF age
who agree to work throughout the
summer on Ohio farms.
The fifty-five district food and crop
commissioners met with the state
agricultural council for defense. The
commissioners agreed to face the
huge task assigned them. Governor
Cox In his address said the state must
lend its moral support to the national
plan now advocated of insuring the
farmer minimum price for his prod
ucts.

morrow, more than 600 members OF
Women Stitchers' Local No. 81,

The closing Of the Lynn shoe fac
tories will throw nearly $4,000 work
ers out OF employment. The peace
agreement" between the manufacture
sers and the United Shoe Workers of
America expires tomorrow, but the
manufacturers insist that the closing
of their factories Is not induced by
labor troubles of any kind It Is I'M
derstood, however, that demands for
AN increased scale of wages have been
formulated by the shoe workers.

AS TO CONSUMPTION

1t is not to the credit of the house
committee on military affairs that it
has gone counter to President vii.
sons military plan for conscriptlon
and recommended the volunteer sys-
tenn. The United States has gone in
to the war and the most effective and
prompt means should be placed at the
governments disposal to guarantee
success. The voiunteer system wher-
ever tried has been failure, and
after much lost time and great dam
age had TO be abandoned and the
draft resorted to. Il was true in the
United States in the civil war and
it was true in England during the
present war. 1t is a beautiful and
patriotic sentiment that goes with the
volunteer plan and 1t would be all
right If it worked out satisfactorily,
1but unfortunately 1t does not.
AT this stage, when 1t is desired to
bring the war 10 an end as soon as
possible, 1t is certainly not moving
IN that direction when barrier is
thrown up, under the volunteer idea,
10 raising an army in short order. The
defeat of the conscription by con-
igress would certainly be giving laid
land comfort 10 the enemy and
would encourage IL TO proIong its eff
forts.
The entrance by the United States
into the worlds war is no child's play
nor matinee performance Vigor-
ons and prompt action must be taken
an every direction, and not the least
oI this Is providing the means, by CON
scription, of forming an army in the
least possible time
President Wilson exercised the
greatest patience and was slow to
recommend that the United States
enter the conflict, but now that the
step has been taken, there should be
no quibbllng in anything that will
promote the best interests OF this
country in the attitude it has as
sumed and every weapon that the
president calls for should be placed
fn his hands to make effective the
stand OF the United States BY doing
so the day of peace will be the sooner
reached

16 YEARS AGO

Sixteen years ago today-in 1901
there occurred a terrific snow-storm.
according to William A. Silcott who
was caught on railroad train be-
tween Massillon and Canton and
forced to spend the entire day in this
manner. Travelling was suspended all
over the state. 1t seems a far cry
from the "summery" weather of to-
day to the snow-storm OF 16 years
