get il out on time, entailed hard work
and many extra hours. which were
given un%grudgingly and with the de-
termination to put it over the top"
on time. Without this willing labor
and sacrifice of personal privileges it
would have been impossible. We
want others as well as ourselves to
know of this patriotic action on the
part of the Register employees.
In the solicitation of the adyertis-
ing Geo. A. Starring Of the State Col

making the money advantage for the

His work was thorough and efficient
and helped make the financial success
possible.
In wedding out the matter submitted

Red Cross chapter, performed a task
of great Importance and involving
much work. She is entitled to the

WORTHY OF YOUR VOTE

AS next Tuesday is the day when
you can give a Eft TO a man that the
Register believes is the best man run
ming for the place. we suggest that
you remember to put a cross in front
OF the name of a. A. Coulson, Candi-
date for state superintendent of
schools. The other candidates are
good men, but not quite as good as
Mr.. Coulson. He has all their quail
fications and then some, so we believe
that he is able to give the service for
the people that we know he can give.
A public servant should be chosen be-
cause of his fitness, and when n man
is more eminently fitted thar another,
then he Is the man We should support.
This we believe is true in this case,
and therefore We insist that the best
service will come to the state from
the selection of Mr.. Coulson.

state educational association endorses

where, except in the columns of the
Elkton Record, has any criticism of
this splendid assistance to u educa-

Register has always supported every
phase OF progress in education and
this unjust cavil of Bro. Pratt leads
ma to believe that education is really

Emergency Labor Organization.

In cooperation with workers furnished
by the U. s. department Of agrlcul'

counties show more than $4,000 work

In the sugar-beet districts Of south.
ern Michigan, Colorado and Utah many
thousands Of workers have been Sc
cured to cultivate this crop and thus
insure large supply Of sugar.

have organized and enlisted labor for
the farms and thus meet In a most
admirable way the emergency needs.

T0WNF0LK MUST HELP

Though townspeople have al
ready done much In aiding
farmers to harvest their crops
and to do other necessary work,
there Is still much to be done
this fall If oil the crops raised
by American farmers are to be
saved to supply food and cloth
ing to soldiers and war workers.
Harvesting Of cotton, cane. rice,
late sweet potatoes. and other
crops In the South, and corn,
late Irish potatoes, fruit and
other crops In the North, is yet
to be done and will require the
cooperation Of men, women,
boys and girls from cities and
towns to help In the fields and
orchards. Through the active
efforts Of many city and town
organizations In securing neces-
sary help for farmers, the labor
problem has been successfully
solved In many communities,
but there Is even greater need
for emergency farm hands In the
future. With organizations well
started. with a better under

deep shades of pink or blue are used
in the shocking.

Doctors in all parts of the country have

which has visited SO many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in a rum

which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report q large sale on Dr.. Kilmer's

after attack of grip. Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
