THIRTY-Slx IN HIGH SCHOOL EN-
ROLL FOR EMPLOYMENT DUR.
ING THE SUMMER.
TWENTY-FIVE HAVE HAD
EXPERIENCE ON FARMS
Majority Of the Thirty-six Express
Preference For Work on Farms -
All High Schools Of County Are Ex-
peeted to Enroll Boys - Only City
School Has as Yet Reported.

Boys Of the local high school are re-
spending to the call of the nation to
enlist for work and offer their services
for employment on the farms and in
other labor during the late spring and
summer months. This movement,
designated as the United States boys
working reserve, is being pushed all
over the nation this week. Already
! thirty six boys of the high school have
enrolled. and furnished data regarding
! themselves, their working experience,
and the work they prefer.
These cards are now on file in the
office of County Agent Buchanan, but
the local high school is the only one
of the county that has so far reported.
All superintendent and principals of
high schools in the county are expect
ed to enroll their boys and forward the
cards to the county agent.
Many Have Had Farm Experience.
| OF the thirty-siX high school boys
who have enrolled already-and it is
expected that the number will later be
| increased-a very large percentage
| have had some experience on farms.
A number OF them have had one or
more summer vacations on the farm,
and several from the country or the
smaller towns have been reared or
spent most of their lives on the farm:
These more experienced boys could do
a full, or nearly a full mans work.
Most Of those with farm experience
express a preference for farm work,
but a few prefer something else. Three
did not care what kind of work they
got just so it was work. One frankly
wrote that he had had no farm ex-
perienCe but that he was willing to
learn"
Will Get Credits.
Several expressed a preference for
work as auto drivers, truck or delivery
car drivers, or work in a garage. One
wanted electrical work and another Il
Job in bakery, in which he had had
experience. Still another wanted a job
in the building trades, another pre-
ferred bridge work. one wanted to care
for live stock--he was farm boy-one
desired employment in Y. NJ. c. A.
work. in which ne had had experience
and one wanted job ship building"
The spirit in which the boys have
come forward and enlisted indicates
not only a willingness to do something
useful but to lend a hand in produc-
ing food and necessary Industrial la.
Dor.
Arrangements are being made by the
high school to allow those boys who
are up IN their studies to leave school
to go to work without suffering a
backset in their classes because Of
leaving before school ends In these
cases. wherever 1t is possible to give
additional credits for the rest Of the
term, that will be DONE and in those
,, studies where this is not possible, the
boy will be allowed additional time
during the next school term to make
up the studies he did not complete this
term.

The German decision to disregard

necessary loss Of lives and war ma

War Nurses viii Be Recruit
ed In Morgan City By
Woman's S Committee Coun-
Gil OF Defense

On Saturday afternoon recruit
ing booth will be established at Gath
right & &Soumeillian's corner for the
enlisting of women and young women
in the active service of Uncle Sam.
Those accepted will be given a course
of training at the expense of the gov
ernment, which will fit them as war
nurses in the army and navy. For
the first time in the history of the
country a call has gone out asking for
women volunteers for war work. High
officials of the army and navy assert
the service these women may render
is as essential to victory for our boys
over there on land and sea as that
given by the men themselves.
The recruiting campaign in Morgan
City has been entrusted to the Wo-
mems Committee, Council of National
Defense. A special committee COM
posed of Mrs. W. B. Reed, chairman !;
Mrs. Paul Kursweg and Miss Inez Will
liams has been appointed to have di-
rect supervision over the work. The
business hours of the recruiting booth
will be from 4 in the afternoon until
II at night. The work of the booth
will be continued throughout next
week. All applicants for enlistment
and those seeking information are re-
quested to apply at the booth, where
they will receive every attention.

Coming Election
Special Messengers Will Hold
Election Where More Than
100 Voters Are Stationed

Ia all camps and cantonments
where more than 100 soldiers are
stationed, the election will be held
under a special election messenger.
Any soldier who is qualified
voter, giving his residence, will be
permitted to vote.
s Where 100 or less soldiers are
stationed, ballots can be cast by mail
Soldiers in foreign service may be
allowed to vote under rules pre-
scribed by the Foreign Electors COM
mission.
Approximately 5000 Louisiana
v.ters are in military service.
Harry Gamble, assistant attorney
general, has issued directions as to
the manner whereby soldiers can
vote. The provisions Of the election
law passed by the special session of
1917 and known as Act "a, apply as
a whole.
Where 100 or less soldiers are sta
TONED, it will be necessary for each
soldier to notify the secrtary of state
that he wishes to vote. The secretary
Iof state in turn will mail to the sol
dier an election ballot which is to be
filled out by the soldier and returned
to the secretary.
Not less than 40 days nor more
than 80 days before an election, reg
istrars Of voters are required to fur

nish the adjutant general lists of all
qualified voters in military service.
The adjutant general will classify
these lists, placing the military ad-
dress of each soldier opposite his
name, and return the lists to the sec
retary of state not less than 80 day
before an election.
Within ten days Of an election, the
governor is to appoint as many elec-
ton messengers as are necessary, one

hundred or more Louisiana soldiers.
Within five days Of an election the
secretary Of state is to hand to each
election messenger twice as many
ballots as the number Of men at their
destination, and all other election
paraphernalia.
Upon arrival at military camp,
the messenger will notify the COM
manding officer of his mission, and
upon the day of election, will conduct
the same under usual military regula-
tions. All that is necessary in order
for soldier to vote, is that he shall
declare that he is a qualified voter
give his name and address and he
will be permitted to cast his ballot.
The messenger will return the ballot
boxes to the secretary of state, who
will tabulate the vote.

the defeat of Germany"
At the same time that this cam
paign is being carried on to recruit
girls and women for training in this
branch of the nursing corps, the ma.
tidnal organization of Public Health
Nurses is engaged in nationwide
effort to obtain more women for
nurses in public health work, a branch
about which little has been published
heretofore. This need was preached
in New ORLEANS by 113 Roman Catho-
lie priests, by At Protestant minis
ters,3 Jewish rabbis, and by 26 negro
preachers. 1t is estimated that more
than 10000 people heard the appeal
Sunday. Those who did not hear it
from the pulpit heard it later in the
day at the moving picture theaters
when four-minute speakers took it
up.
''No woman has ever been needed
.as the nurse is today" was the watch
word of all these speakers, even as it
was with General Gorgas.
The call for nurses is now, as al
ways, the loudest call to women who
want to serve the country in the time
of war. Surgeon General Gorgas Of
the United States army has added his
voice to those calling in the campaign
which is being carried on under the
Woman's Committee, Council of Ma
tional Defense.
81 want every young woman in the
country, every woman between 19
and 35 to read carefully what have
to say and give it earnest attention."
says General Gorgas. at is a mess
which every girl ought to welcome
because it tells of an opportunity to
help the nation" His statement fol-
lows:
t'The army and the country face a
shortage of nurses. The army alone
will require something like $4,000 by
January We have secured about 49,
900 of this number. We need $4,000
more. We have got to have them or

would be an outcome incredible and

Place. Must Be Filled.
"Our graduate nurses who have
beel through the full course of train
ing are available for this high serv-
ice. These purses have to be taken
out of the hospitals and from care of
the sick at home. This means that
when we recruit our full quota for
the army, their places in the civil
communities must be filed Hence,
this call for student nurses-to fill
he vacancies, perhaps for profes-
sionai service, and meanwhile to
make it possible for our hospitals,
both civil and military, to carry on,
and for the American people to hold
the health standards of the country
as high as they have ever been held
in times of peace.
