Conference With District Board.

The members of the local board
motored to Greenwood Friday and
held conference Of more than an
hour with the district board concern
ing the "A cases in which the local
board was reversed. The district
board is composed of some of the
best men in South Carolina aud they
are discharging their very trying
and arduous duties in conscientious
and impartial manner. They have
the Herculean task of passing upon
the work of local boards in 20
counties, as we'll as passing upon the
applications for discharges in cases
where they have exclusive original
jurisdiction. Thew are endeav oring
as far as possible to make uniform
the application of the draft regula-
tions in all of the counties in the
Western District, and for that reason
a number of cases were reversed in
practically all of the counties, there
being IS reverses in Newberry
county and more than 100 each in
Greenville and Lancaster counties.
These cases were sent back to the
local boards for more complete In
formation. Those who were grant
ed discharges by the local boards
and had their discharges revoked by
the district board will be given an
other opportunity. These men can
take their cases up to the district
board again on an appeal, and with
the application for appeal they must
give additional information or facts
upon which to base their G lain for
discharge, if they have any. These
additional afidavlts must be filed
with the local board and it will for
ward all of the record in the case to
the district board. AS soon as
possible the district board will again
passed upon them and announce
their decision.

Family Re-Union.

Sunday was a day of great joy
and happiness for Mr.. and Mrs. c..
H. Key. All of their children were
under the parental roof for the day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hal Beman came up
from Augusta and Mrs. Charlie Key
brought his bonnie bride from
Columbia to see the home folk for
the first time. And Bachelor Julian
Key likewise came over from Co.
lumbia for the day. The family
circle has now considerably enlarged,
which added to the pleasure of the
occasion. MIR. and Mrs. Key are to
be congratulated upon rearing three
such splendid children, each one an
honor to their parents, and this
coming together for the first time
of ell of the enlarged family circle
must have given them Joy supreme.

Feeding Animals.

Feeders should not forget that
animals during cold weather re-
quire considerable heat-producing
feed, such as grain. Hay silage
and fodder give bulk and are valu-
able in the ration. They cannot
take the place of grain.
Corn is one of the best grains for
heat and fat production. For horses,
mules, hogs, COWS and sheep corn is
very important. However, COWS
giving milk should not be fed too
much corn as they need feed high
in protein for milk production. But
corn is good for dairy COWS when
fed in sufficient amounts to bal
ance the ration with e e d s
rich in protein and with hay ST.
lage.
Hogs are especially fond of corn.
Fattening hogs will consume an
enormous amount and will make
very rapid gains when also given
other concentrates with more pro-
tein than corn has.
The grain sorghums are not quite
as high in protein and fat as corn,
but they are good feeds neverthe-
less. Animals soon learn to like
these sorghum grains and will do as
we'll on them as corn, provided the
ration is balanced.
Just as people may require more
heat-producing foods such as meat
in winter than in summer SO may
animals need more grain than in
summer. But the kind of work
the animal does, or whether it is
on heavy work or no work, has
much to do with the feed of work.
Cows giving milk require more pro-
tein and carbohydrates than COWS
that are dry.
A good feeder should watch his
animals very closely and feed what
the animals will clean up and no
more. He should know the rela-
tive values of feeds and then learn
the requirements of his animals.
He can soon learn to raise feeds
economlcally.-Farm and Ranch.

Save While You Can.

War is time of financial ups and
downs. One day an industry is
riding on the crest of the wave; the
next day it may be almost ship
wrecked on a hostile shore. 1t is
not a time to take chances; it is a
time for unusual economy, thrift,
and foresight. Every farmer who
sells this years crops for good
prices shoul let nothing on earth
keep him from putting something
aside for times of adversity. Who
knows but that before this very
war ends we may have another dis
astrous year of panic and bankrupt

HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Practically All Crops Harvested
aid Sold. Services at Sweet.
water Church. Many
Augusta Shoppers.

We have had most beautiful
fall, especially for gathering the
crops. Corn crop was so small, ,
owing to the continued dry weather,
that it has not taken so long to get
through with, and the same with
the potatoes and hay. Cotton is
about all gathered, ginned and sold,
I think. The fields look dark and
bare, like real winter. Yet, we are
having nice pleasant weather.
We are needing rain very badly
on account of sowing grain, tits so
dry, and the ground so hard, that
the farmers can not get the plow
into the ground.
We wanted to have attended the
services at Sweetwater on Sunday,
but heard they did not have them
until half past four. and that would
have made US into the dark getting
home, then all oul night work to
do. So decided to make visit to
Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Barkers.
Found Mr.. and Mrs. George Bunch,
and son, Mr.. Ben Bunch. Mrs.
Eyin Barker, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Barker, Mrs. S. V. Bunch, Mr.. H.
L. and Miss l. L. Bunch. So we
were quite bunch of Bunches and
Barkers. DR.. and Mrs. Bunch and
son, were just on the eve of leaving
for Clark's Hill. We were glad to
hear they have slipped. up the hour
to half after three for the services,
audhope to be able to attend some
time, as we hear Mr.. Allen is a fine
speaker. He is pastor of the North
Augusta church. also.
We were glad to see Mrs. Julia
Townes out on Saturday, and her
cold so much better. Mrs. Townes
and Mrs. Harrison went to town
together Saturday.
Mrs. L. G. Baymon and Miss |,
i. Bunch, N essrs. George Henry
AID Alartln Med lock sDd rs: AIssss
tin Medlock, Messrs. Hugh Harri.
son, Will Briggs, Harry Bunch and
children, j. O. Scott and wife, all
were in the city, also Messrs. D. B.
Hammond, T. G. Hammond, Geo.
McKie and Tommie Humphres.
We were sorry to hear Miss &C.
ME Hammond is complaining and
hope she will soon be alright.
Hope Mrs. Theresa Adams will
soon recover from her fail, glad
there were no bones broken.
We hear our new neighbors MIR.
and Mrs. William Holmond are
soon to erect a new house for them
selves. and one for their brother,
just down below Mrs. Harrison's.
We are glad to have more new
neighbors.
We have been hoping to have a
bridge over Foxes creek before the
winter rains set in, but as usual 1t
is stalled. All talk and no bridge.
Talk is not going to help us over
the creek in time of high water.
Our roads too, need so many holes
and wash outs filled in. Not from
recent rains, for we have not had
those, but of long standing. | think
it is a shame that our roads have
not been worked this year, when it
has been such fine weather to put
them in good condition. Some
body please bump the Supervisor
over the roads down this way, each
and all all of them, so he will know
how badly they need working.
Ride him fast in an auto that hasn't
shock absorbers, and then he will
see how we fare. | hope then he
will get busy, and work them all.

Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1917-06-21

Thirty-five thousand kansans may
be called to the colors OF the ma
tional government before snow
flies. Information received from the
war department by Charles l. Mar
tin, adjutant general, indicated a
second army draft 1t will probably
be made Immediately following the
close of the second officers school.
Under the plan as now outlined,
the second army of men under the
selective draft will be sent to train
ing camps In November The first
draft men will report for service
probably not later than September
l. Kansas National Guardsmen will
be called to the service of the gov
ernment August s. The program will
mean that between 1000 and 35,-
900 Kansans will be enrolled in
government military service before
Thanksgiving.
Within a very short time all units
of the National Guard will be re-
cruited to full war strength, With
the exception of a few units, all
guard organizations are now on full
footing. When completed, the Kan
sas guard organizations will give to-
the government practically 1900
officers and men.
Estimates by army officials indi-
cate that between 10000 and $4,000
men will be called from Kansas
under the first army draft. The
first work under the army draft
will doubtless begin soon Army Of
ficers propose to complete this work
in time to send the conscripts to
army cantonments by late August

ABILENE BOY DIES AFTER
ONE WEEK AT LAWRENCE

Words are futile in expressing the
deep sympathy of University stu
dents and faculty to the family of
Earl Edwards. That the circum-
stances surrounding his death were
unavoidable does not minimize the
sadness which comes to Mount Dread
because of the tragedy. Earl Ed
wards was in Lawrence only a week.
in that time he made friends. His
character and personality we're
pleasing and good. That Earl Ed
wards was this type of young man,
after all, is the best comfort to be-
reaved relatives and friends.-Sum-
mer Kansan.
Mr.. Edwards lived in Abilene a
number of years and graduated
from Abilene high school in 1916.
He was well known in this COM
munity.
Edwards was drowned in Potter
lake on the University campus Fri
day evening. In company with Roy
Holland, Edwards was swimming in
Potter lake and after a few minutes
in the water diyed from the spring
board on the north bank. He sank
after the dive and did not rise. The
guards at the lake come to the res
cue and with difficulty rescued Roy
Holland. the other swimmer, and
vainly attempted to locate Edwards.
It was two hours before his body
was recovered. His home was Caney,
Kan.
