ssEverysvoman" in inc War
By CLARENCE DU BOSE. Special Writer of Department of Agriculture

This is tae story of q woman who converted food stacker into an ar dent missionary of food production and conservation; 1t is the story of woman who would not allow neigh Der, by indifference or laziness or greed. to hamper the food program of the nation and thus further irn- peril the life of her son who is fight ing in France. It is an example that can be followed by "eyeTywOman-- everywhere"
 The experience was told to Assfs- tant Secretary of Agriculture Clar- enee Ousley not long ago, when ne was touring the South to present the governments urgent message to the cotton country--a request, Of vital importance, that the south feed itself this year, and be not lured by hlgh- priced cotton into such increases or cotton acreage as will mean diHlnu- ton of food-crop acreage. Mr. Gus ley explained that tbe government is not asking the south reduce it's cotton acreage. is not attempting to suggest the amount to be planted but is only urging, with the earnest ness inspired by a conviction that this means much in winning the war: that the South insure its own feed supply first. and then plant such cot ton acreage as il chooses. Without food from US, he said. CUT allies must fail If they fail all the vast burden of the war falls upon us--and what that might mean no man dares predict
 And so,' added MT. Ousley, "the farmer who knows that. knows his failure to produce food ieopardizes our cause. and yet for greed and self sshness and in order to fatten ais own pocketbook. plants all cotton and expects the rest Of the nation to send him food-that men is profit ger in the blood of vour so,4e.'
 After that speech woman sought MT. Onslev In her voice there was a auiet deternination: in her face a supreme. sublime courage a subtle something of the soul--the same spirit shown so gIorinuslv hv tho women of France-bv the women of all the unPruSeanized and naver-to- he PrUesanize1 world In the Hun had the imaeination as we'll as the crueltv of the savage if he could lift his sordid eyes beyond 8 rigtd mental horizon of rules and nlormul- es he would see here sonefhinq he could not understand and therefore something he would feag. He would see the adamantine answer to his hope of world subiectior-that loal7 in the eyes of the women of this ]

pound?' So l did, and through it, I found relief from my suffering and | really believe it saved my life. 1t does not seem as though l can say enough in praise of this wonderful medicine for the health it has brought me. Miss CORA LEE. HALL, West Plains, Mo.
 Perhaps it may seem an extrava- gant statement to say that this great remedy saved life; but women like Mrs. Hall, to whom it has brought health, appreciate the danger and suffering they have escaped too well to doubt iti All who suffer should try it. Why risk life and health without it?

RECENT SELECTS MAY GO At
ONCE TO BATTLE LINES

There is great possibility that
all drafted men who recently re-
ported for military duty at Camp
Zachary Taylor on the last 80 per
cent, and those that are yet to 60
will see France ahead of the Eighty
fourth Division. This indication
became known when it was learned
that none of the men who recently
have reported to the camp win be
transferred to the Eighty-fourth
Division, but will continue in the
159th Depot Brigade until they are
ready for sailing, when they will
very likely be sent to some other
unit which is preparing for the
journey.

The u S. Boys Working Reserve is regis
tered army of patriotic youths between the ages
of sixteen and twenty-one, organized under the
u S. Department of Labor to help the nation
where most needed to win the war in field and
factory. Every boy physically fit, of proper age,
is eligible for this non-miitary civilian army. To
enroll the young fills out an enrolment
card obtains the consent of his parent, takes
the Oath of Service and receives a certiica-
cate bearing the Great Seal of the United States
and an Enrolment Badge. He can serve his coun-
try in three separate units of the Reserve. If he
goes into the AGRICULTURAL UNIT, he will
probably work on farm from camp or live
in the farmers family, and after six weeks of sat-
sfactory service he will receive Federal Badge
bearing the Great Seal of the United States If
he works in industry which is essential in help
ing to win the war, he enters the INDUSTRIAL
UNIT, and gains the Federal bronze badge when
he has served ten weeks subsequent to enrolment.
The Reserve recommends that all boys who are at
school remain there and use their spare time in
preparing themselves vocationally for some essen
tial occupation. The boy who thus trains him
self and goes into active service in a essential
occupation member of the VOCATIONAL
UNIT, is awarded the Federal Bronze Badge on
taking employment.

The United States Boys
Working Reserve

Uncle Sam has gone to war in self defense.
With his ships ordered from the free SEAS his
vessels destroyed, and his people wantonly muir
dered, he was compelled either to submit fight.
He has sprung to the side of his allies to take up
the gauge of battle. If Germany wins, eventually
she will impose her will the civilized world, and
the principles for which our forefathers fought
and bled will perish from the face of the earth.
For thirty years Germany has been organizing
every resource, human well material, for
Her men, women and youths have all been
trained, her factories her mines, her harbors, her
railroads, have all been planned so as to make
effective all her power in the conflict that in
tended to make her dictator of the world
Uncle Sam has assumed a sacred trust. The
entire civilized world looks to him not to fail in de-
Tending the principles with which to insure the
happiness of mankind for centuries to come
Labor must be drawn from sources that have
been utilized before Uncle Sam takes In
ventory and finds that the most promising supply
from which to draw is from the five million young
men of the nation between the ages of sixteen and
twenty one. About two million of these are either
idle engaged in nOn-productive activities
for substantial part Of the year. Uncle SAM
after considering how he could make most readily
available this source, brought into being the U. S.
Boys Working Reserve.

ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN

One Of the most inspiring things
which has happened in connection
with the Red Cross Tobacco Cam
paign occurred few days ago when
little Dick Montjoy, son Of Richard
Montjoy, made his contribution to
the fund.
Little Dick, who is six years Of
age, raised crop Of tobacco, hous-
ed il, stripped it, loaded il and
brought it in to the sales and then
gave the entire crop to the Red
Cross. His little wagon was as
painstakingly and properly loaded
as any crop sold on the breaks this
year and he was very justly the cen
ter Of attraction with his perform
ance; when the tarpaulin was re-
moved and the crop offered, it real
lied $3.50, truly princely sum for
him to contribute and truly pa
triotic and inspiring example to set.
In years to come, Little Dick viii
be denied the honor of claiming his
bit done in the trenches, but one
honor which will be his and which
in all probability viii not be equal
ed, will be that he raised crop of
tobacco and gave the entire pro-
ceeds to the Red Cross.

WILSON CALLS ON BOYS
TO ENLIST IN RESERVE

Washington, March 14.-Presi-
dent Wilson today called on all
American boys of 16 years and
above not employed permanently
to enroll in the United States
Boys Working Reserve. A ma
tional enrolment week, beginning
March IS, has been set aside by
the Department of Labor.
The Presidents open letter,
made public today, follows:
"The Department of Labor has
set aside the week beginning
March Is as National Enroll
ment Week for the United States
Boys Working Reserve. The
purpose of this National Enroll
ment Week is to call the atten-
ton of the young men Of the
nation to the Importance of in
creasing the food supply by
working on the farms and to urge
them to enroll in the reserve.
81 sincerely hope that young
men Of the country, of 16 years
of age and over, not now per-
manently employed, and espec-
tally the boys in our high schools,
will enter heartily into this work
and join the Boys Working Re-
serve in order that they may have
the privilege, for such l believe it
% be, of spending their spare
time in a productive enterprise,
which will certainly aid the ma
ton to win the war by increas-
ing the means of providing for
the forces at the front and for
the maintenance of those whose
services are so much needed at
home.

Further limitations of wheat con-
sumption in the United States is I'M
der consideration by the Food Ad-
ministration to make certain that
the sub-normal supply will tide over
the American people and their allies
until the next harvest. Plans for
accomplishing the additional saving
are being worked out carefully, and
the only bar to success feared by
officials is the senseless boarding
which may be practiced by unthink-
ing and selfish people.

To the Employers

The Reserve has proved conclusively that,
even though inexperienced, the strong, healthy
boy, inspired by patriotism, is a capable and
adaptable helper in field and factory. Every
ployer should remember however, the limitations
of youth and no employer should work members
of the Reserve long hours. The Reserve has been
firm in unfolding child labor laws and in contend
ing for reasonable hours of toll The Reserve
ommends supervision of boy laborers and frequent
inspection of working conditions. The boy OF
today is the man of tomorrow, and the future of
the nation depends upon the moral and physical
welfare of its boys.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1918-03-19
To the Parents

Fathers and mothers of the nation should see
to it that their sons are members of the Reserve.
The Reserve is entirely voluntary and boy may
be withdrawn from membership in the discretion of
the parent. If boy is in school, he will not be
taken from his studies, but win be encouraged to
utilize his vacation and spare time in training for
productive activities.

SENATOR COMBS RESIGNS

Senator Thomas A. Combs resign.
ed his seat in the Senate Saturday
and as president protein Of that
body, an office to which he has
twice been elected without opposi-
ton, and will retire as a legislator
with the close Of the session of the
Senate. Inquiry among the Sena-
tors developed the probability that
Senator Charles M. Harris, of
Woodford, probably will be his sue
cessor as president protein. Unless
there should be necessity for call
ing a special session Of the General
Assembly no election win be called
to fill the vacancy.
Every member of the Senate,
Democrat and Republican, wet and
dry, regrets Senator Combs decis-
ion to leave the Senate, which he
reached with great reluctance.
Senator Combs resigns because Of
a possible legal conflict of his
place as a State legislator and the
of his post as director
Of the Federal Reserve Bank at
Cleveland.

ming with people from all parts of
this and adjoining counties, to hear
Bells Famous Hawaiian Company

composed of both Hawaiian and
American music and the artists
seemed just as much at home with
the latter as their native tunes.
The appreciation of the people
was readily shown by their hearty

the company was very generous
with encores. Each member of the
company is an artist of exceptional
merit and Mr.. Small is to be con-
graduated on having secured this

A Trumpet Call
BY GEORGE ABE

This is to the fortunate who, ten years
from now, will be enjoying the benefits of what
all future histories will call the GREAT WAR.
You boys who are getting ready to vote viii
know more about this war when you are plump
this year.
When the dust has cleared away and the
large events of the war can be seen from a dis
tance then you viii understand that the United
States had to take part that the task we are now
undertaking had to be accomplished.
Let us hope that each of you can say, twenty
years from now ~ was young at the time, but l
knew what the meant, and helped"
Not all of the heroes are in the trenches.
Perhaps you have heard about the Working
Reserve.
1t has been carefully organized under gov
eminent supervision II has received the official
endorsement of the President. The whole plan is
working out successfully wherever it is under
stood.
The trouble is that some of the boys and
some of the parents still little doubtful re-
garding enlistment because they don't know how
much of obligation is assumed.
Here is the plan in a nut shell: Thousands
of enlisted and selected men have gone to the
training camps. 1t may be that thousands more
will go next year These men are being called
from factories and work shops and farms Every
factory and every farm must continue production
if we are to render full service to our faithful
allies during the war How can we fiji the places
of the young men who have gone away to fight?
We must rely upon the boys who are old enough
and husky enough to work, but who are still too
young for military service.
SO here is trumpet call for all city boys
and town boys between the ages of 16 and 81
Prove your patriotism and help your country
by jumping in and doing the work Of a soldier
who has gone TO the front
