RIGA REGION IS
NOW ABANDONED
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO
THAT EFFECT MADE FROM
PETRoeRAD.

Riga, Russia's principal Baltic port,
was abandoned today by the Rus
SLAMS, under the threat of combined
land and water offensive by the Ger
mans.
The fate of Riga was virtually
sealed when the Germans on Satur-
the city, and began pushing north
ward after making a good foothold
on the right bank of the river. Ger
man warships were lowering in the
Gulf of Riga.
The possible ultimate military con-
sequence is difficult to estimate. The
right flank of the entire Russian wes-
tern front was anchored on Riga.
With this gone, the possible strategi-
cal developments seem infinite. Much
depends on the purpose Of the Ger
mans and the size of the army they
can spare there.

WORK ON THE FARM.

The Lyons Progress says:
The joys of farm life and farm
work can be understood only by those
who have tried it. You often hear
the expression that farming is the
easiest and most Independent life in
existence" Many times have you
heard this expression from town
folks who are cooped I'D in house
from day to day and from year to
year
Yes, work on the farm is contin-
uous round of joy. The editor of this
paper was born and raised on Geor-
gia farm and knows whereof he
speaks.
The farmer has no bad accounts or
overdrafts to worry about. He has
nothing in the world to do but work.
Except an editor he has less to do
than anybody in existence.
The average farm hand wakes up
at 80 in the morning. All he has to
dc before breakfast is to feed a half
dozen mules, milk dozen cows,
drive up the calves, cut half cord
of wood and sharpen the teeth of the
cultivator so they will cut the land
smooth. Then he has breakfast
about six, after which his real work
officially begins, when at this time OF
/ the year he hikes himself to the hay
| field, where he toys with the hay,
pitching it onto wagons until his
lungs are full of dust, and the small
est bone in his body aches like an
liberated tooth. Fortunately, he has
only about 200 bones It would be
worse if he had 1000 bones like a
shad fish.
The hay having been finished, after
dinner he proceeds to- the cotton field
TO gather the first open bolls, That
is easy work. ell does not have to
stand up to do that. He only has to
stoop over until the hinges in the
middle Of his back squakes every
time he straightenes up to see if the
sun has gone down and to wonder
why it has not.
When he is not at actual work the
farm hand is allowed to take light
exercise to keep his muscles in trim,
by cutting wood or pitching fodder
into the loft. This is considered more

When the sun goes down the days
work on the farm is officially ended
with the ringing of the supper bell.
Supper over there are only a few
little things to do far past time be-
fore retiring, such as milking the
COWS, chasing the neighbors hogs
away from the feed place and feeding
the stock. After these things are fin
ished he is ready to turn in for the
night, or he may go to dance or to
a debate over at the school house and
help settle the question of who dis
covered America or if women should
be given the ballot. If he elects to go
to bed he is soon slumbering and

Yes, life on the farm is a contin-

AFTER DRAFT EvAOERS|
$50 Reward Offered For Each
Each One Apprehended.
Civilians Enlisted in Systematic Hunt
in Cooperation With Civil
Authorities.

Washington, Sept. 28.-The war de-
partment has authorized rewards OF
$50 to be paid civilians for the de-
livery of any person liable for mill
tary service to the nearest military
reservation or cantonment. This Is
the first step toward the apprehenslon
of national army evaders.
Results Expected.
The reward will be paid to any
person not in the military service OF
the United States, including all local,
county and state authorities. The war
department expects to see immediate
results from the offer, since hundreds
of men selected for service have not
answered the call.
This is the first move in a campaign
that is intended to become nationwide
in the search for the pink sheet
men," as the national army evaders
are called. They are termed pink
sheet men" for the reason that when
they fail to appear their names are
placed on pink sheet and certified
for service, tfsns becoming members of
the national army.
