Letters received here by friends of Carl Porter who is now with Pershing in France. do not bear out the state ment published few days ago rela- tive to his being shot in the arm. The reason given for the circulation of the report that he was wounded, is that Mir. Porter was in the hospital on ac- count of the condition of his arm which had been broken when he was a boy and after joining the colors it was found that when the bones were set, it was done in such manner that they grew crooked, thereby causing the arm to have to be reset.

The Pensacola Journal.

Washington, June 29.-An impor-
tant two-day conference will open
here tomorrow at the offices of the
council of national defense, when state
directors and other workers in the
United States Boys WORKING Reserve
gather to discuss plans for carving
forward rapidly the important move
ment of filling the farm labor short
age. Secretary of Labor Wilson, DR..
2. P. ClaXton, United States com
missioner of education, and w. S. Gift
ford, director of the council of ma
tlonal defense, are among the promi-
nent national speakers expected to
address the conference.
Representative from all parts of
the United States will be present to
discuss plans for mobilizing the boy
labor of the United States to help fill
the emergency labor shortage on the
farms and in industry. No attempt
is being made by the United States
Boys Working Reserve to disturb
the state or other local organizations
which are engaged in helping to solve
reserve is to coordinate the move
4AAC4AS GA44 WI 4AOLAL LIIC E44LlIE GO0ltlIAs
The encouraging results which al
ready have been accomplished by the
movement lead the federal officials to
believe that it will go forward mucn
more rapidly after the conference
here. The various state directors will
tell of what they have been doing
and of methods which they have found
most efficient; and resolutions will be
presented and adopted looking to the
establishment of the work on the
strongest basis. William E. Hall, ma
, tional director of the reserves, will ad-
dress the conference on the purpose
and aims of the organization. Other
speakers will take up various other
phases of the boy labor movement.
In most states where the reserve is
already organized, the state director
is also an officer of the state council
of defense. The policy of the reserve
is one of decentralization. 1t desires
the state organizations to accomplish
( their own purposes without interfer-
ence as to policy or form of organlza-
| ton, conforming, however, to certain
salient standards recommended by the

Plans to Mobilize Boys to
Supply Farm Labor Shortage

national body. In a statement issued
here tonight, Director Hall said:
"The work of enrolling and placing
boys on the farms is progressing
more rapidly than we had anticipated.
In New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, California and other states. thou
sands of city boys already are at
work on farms. But better than num-
bers is the fact that they are making
good. Almost without exception the
boys sent out are proving satisfactory
workers; in fact, the farmers in many
places are calling for boys faster than
they can be supplied.
The intensive training camps
which have been established by local
organizations for boys outside of New
York, Philadelphia. New Haven and
some other large cities have been
proving of excellent advantage in fit
ting the boys to make good from
the start on the farms. In most of
these places they have been unable to
hold the boys during the full training
period as farmers have come and
taken them away. The farmers, it
seems, are finding the boys more sat
isfaCtory than much of the stray help
on which they have been obliged to
depend during their busy season in
previous years. The farmers in most
cases are meeting the boys half way,
breaking them gradually into the
work and giving them every oppor-
tunity to show their worth"
Boys to be eligible for the certifi-
cate and badge of the United States
Boys Working Reserve, must be be-
tween is and q, secure the consent
of their parents or guardians, and, If
employed, of their present employer,
as there is no desire to take hem
away from occupations where key
are already usefully engaged. In ad-
dition they must have a doctor certify
that they are physically fit. 1t is
work, not play, which the boys Of
America are being called on 70 per-
form.
Wherever practicable the camp IS
established under the supervision of n
competent leader, such as the y. NJ.
c. A. officer, school teacher or other
person familiar with handling boys.
In the majority of cases, however, the
state organizations sent the boys out
to the farms, either singly or in small
groups.

Method of Trapping
Boil WseViI Being Tried


Mr.. Walker, of near McAlpin. has
devised some kind of a scheme for
catching boil weevils, the methods
of which he has not divulged, but
he is successful in bagging them just
the same.
He was in town Tuesday and We'd
nesday, and each day brought for ex-
hibit to the 'Doubting Th0mases"
his catch in the previous night. He
catches them in a small flour sack,
which he undoubtedly bats and sets
in his field at night. The patch of
cotton he is using as an experiment,
contains about one and one-half
acres. and in three nights Sunday.
Monday and Tuesday,, caught fully
one thousand full grown boil wee
wills. Tuesday night the number was
not nearly so large as it was
for Sunday and Monday nights.
Mr.. Walker is firmly of the opin-
ion he has SSSVed the problem of
successfully fighting the holl weevil
He believes with his method worked
out on a larger scale, cotton fields
can be entirely cleaned of the weevil
in a very few nights, and a tridlng
eXpenditures r.. money.
We understand that Mr.. Walker
has made application for patent on
his boil weevil catcher, and after
proving his methods and trap out
more fully, will place same on the
market.
If Mr.. Walker has found a success
ful method of eNterminating the wee
vii, his fortune is assured.-From

COLORED DOCTORS
UP FOR HEARING

Two colored doctors, named Cobb
and GIcGhee, are to be arraigned be-
fore the justice of the peace today
on a charge of manslaughter, it be-
ing charged that a boy whom they
had treated had died.
The boys death was investigated
by a jury empaneled by the coroner
and it resulted in a finding that, in
the opinion of the jury, the boys
death was in part attributable to al
legged work of the two defendants
named, The case was also reported
to have been considered by the grand
jury but no evidence on which a case
could be based, was found.
The evidence appears to be not
stable enough to warrant holding the
defendants, but the hearing will be
held to clear up the docket

Jos. Brown, who has been holding
the position as collector of personal
taxes for some time, has rendered
his resignation to Mayor johnson,
effective upon receipt. The commits
sioners will act upon said communi-
cation at the next regular meeting.
Mr.. Brown had no other reason for
resigning, he said, than that the
office was not paying enough money,
and it is understood he will enter
more lucrative work.
Collector of personal taxes works

collections are slim, the commission
is necessarily slim.
