IMPORTANCE OF TAKING
OUT WAR RISK.

The Importance of taking out War
Rick Insurance cannot be too strongly
impressed upon the minds of enlisted
men, say Marine Corps officials, who
cite the following death to substantiate
their statements:
Private Andrew Jensen, stationed
in Cuba, took out $4,000 worth of War
Risk Insurance on the morning of
February s, 1918, in favor Of his
mother, Mrs. Margaret Jensen. 2018
Grande avenue, Everett, Washington.
He died at 7.115 p. NJ, the same day.
His death was in the line of duty and
was caused by the accidental dis
charge of machine gun"
Time limits in which applications
for insurance may be made has been
extended to April II, inclusive, for
all officers and men in active service
on October 15 last, according to or
ders issued to officers of the Marines

OPPOSITION TO THE

\ fight has developed in the Senate
on Senator Duvalls bill which is de-
signed to protect the interests of the
crabbers of this county. The bill is

last year prohibiting crabbers from
placing any crabs in floats or she'd
ding boxes. As large proportion of
the soft crabs taken are gotten in this
way at the shedding season, the crab

$500. 900 In First Class.

Rough estimats made by members
of Congress who have received re-
ports from their districts on the num-
ber of men placed in Glass Al and
the number of those engaged in ag-
ricultural pursuits indicate that
around 100000 Will be enrolled in
the first draft class throughout the
country. and of this unmber 100000
will be farmers and farm laborers.
Had the plan to select these men
in Glass Al without regard to Occu-
pations been carried out, it is esti-
matetd that between 10000 and 200,-
600 agriculturists wuuld be included
in the next draft, but under the de-
ferred classification scheme this
number is expected to be reduced to
around $4,000.
Representative Linthicum, of Balti-
more. Joined Mr. Price, in his efforts
to conserve farm labor. He believed
the French system should be en-
forced in this country, under which
every man is compelled TO register
and state his occupation.

TO CONSERVE
FARM LABOR.
To Leave Men On Farm. Boards
Directed To Place Them At
Bottom Of Glass Al.
TEMPORARY RELIEF.
Congressman Price Is Not Salts
fed With Plan And Will
Offer An Amendment
To Dent Bill.

Local exemptions boards have been
directed to place all farm and farm
laborers in Glass Al, at the bottom
of the list in that class. The move
ment to conserve farm labor and
keep it on the farms cultivating food
crops.
The effect of this order will be that
all n-agriculturalists in Glass Al
will be called upon for military ser
vice under the draft before farmers
and farm laborers are called. Also
under the plan in which the next
groups at a time-it is estimated
that it will be late in the summer be-
fore any of the special classes of ag-
riculturists will be reached. This
will enable the farm labor in Glass
Al, according to War Department
Officials to plant and partly harvest
this years crops.
This plan of re-classification of
farm labor is not satisfactory to Rep
Tesentatve Price, of Maryland. who is
now studying the problem. He said
last night that it will only grant
temporary relief and what he be-
lives will become one of the most
acute problems in the United States
like it now is in Europe-the question
of producing enough food to prevent
the world from going on starvation
basis.
After talking to number of my
colleagues today" said Mr.. Price. Il
have decided TO put the question
squarely up to Congress as to wheth-
er bona fide farm labor shall not be
exempt from the draft Here's my
position. Men are needed for i'm
portant purposes to win this war
the army, shipyards. munition facto-
ries and the farm. / contend that
it is important to maintain our agri-
cultural forces intact as il is to mo-
billie a great army. If we can't feed
the army and if we can't fill the ships
with food for our Allies, it will be
useless, in my judgment, TO raise an
army and to build ships.
The War Department has taken
steps, in working out the draft reg
ulations, to protect the shipyard
workers and the munition factory
workers. 1t has done nothing to
preserve the force OF agricultural
forces in the country. Therefore,
when the Dent reclassification bill
comes up in the House / shall offer
an amendment which will exempt all
bona fide and experienced farmers
from the draft / believe if such
law is enacted we will have no
trouble to get all the men we want
on the farms. l believe the cruX of
the whole situation is the exemption
of farm labor as long as it stays on
the farm"

Archangel, Nov. 2.-Charges that

captured have been sworn out by cyl

Don't Forget the Boys
Overseas at Christmas

The time-honored advice to no
your Christmas shopping early is Of
especial moment in these days OF
sh0rt-help in stores and shops. A
little forethought on the part Of buy
ers in these last few weeks will re-
suit in the elimination Of the grand
rush which usually takes place in the
last few days preceding Christmas. 1t
will be great relief to the over
worked clerks, and there is really no
reason why it should not be done.
You have in mind already the per-
sons to whom you wish to send
greetings, and have probably been
considering the matter for months.
Why not provide yourself now while
you have plenty of time, and the
shops have full assortments Of the
things you want, and avoid the
rush and hurry and confusion Of the
last moments? 1t will be better for
| you and infinitely better for the
clerks who wait on you.
Another matter to be considered
at once is sending lofe tokens, to
the boys cover there" There are
more than 100000 of American boys
in Europes fighting for freedom, and
every last one of them has friends
and relatives here at home who
would be more than glad to send
some token Of love and remem
brance. But right here Uncle San
steps in and says: We need every
ship to transport men and munitions
the shiproom is limited, and mus

Clergyman Tells Story of the
Yankees Reckless Disre-
gard for Danger.

A new story Of the American fightis,g
mans reckless disregard for danger,
which it is one of the greatest prOa-
lens Of their officers to curb, was
brought to Paris by Wilbur NJ. Wilson,
a Baptist clergyman from Colorado,
who went all the way from Chateau
Thierry to Fismes with Pennsylvania
regiment in the drive which began In
July.
"With my own eyes," said Mr.. Will
son, 81 have seen American boys steal
out from the trenches to a frog pond
in No Mans Land, calmly remove their
uniforms and dive into the cool wa
tiers with German sniperS not a hum
dred yards away in their trenches.
The American boy appears to be abb
sOlutely unafraid. The greater the
number of casualties in his own unit
the greater is his resolve to make the
Germans pay the price. His morale
increases noticeably every time Il con-
rade falls with German bullets in his
body.
Mr.. Wilson was in the front lines for
two months, serving in the uniform OF
the Y. NJ. C. A. Many times, he says,
he drove his truck ahead of the field
kitchens and furnished hot drinks,
smokes and sweets to men who had
had nothing to eat for two days except
their iron ratiOns. Francis Il. Sayre,
President Wilson's sOn-in-law, was
with him for two days north OF
Chateau-Thierry. He is on his way
back to America to aid in the united
war work campaign in November,
when a drive for $17O. 100000 will be
made to carry on the work i'll which the
