lar hands. Those who were inexper
fenced were placed with the exper.
fenced men and were thereby en-.
able to do acceptable work.
Farmers were at first inclined to
laugh at the idea Of using city men
for farm work, but as reports of
satisfactory service came in from
farmers the attitude Of skepticism
disappeared and by the end Of the
wheat thrashing not less than thirty
farmers in Faycttc County alone had
called upon the Reserve for help.
Moreover. they were glad to pay full
farm wages 10 the volunteers.
In less than half dozen oa,cs did
the unusual excriion and heat prove
too much for the volunteer workers
and the trouble IN these few cases
was only tmeporary. In the future,
volunteers will be encouraged to har-
den their muscles by work IN their
gardens and on other outdoor cx-
crcises. SO that they will be equal to
the most strenuous farm work. Plans
are being perfected by the College
Of Agriculture to increase the mem
bcrship Of the Emergency Reserve so
that IL win include all able-bodied
men in the villages. towns and cities
Of the State. Men who have had farm
experience will constitute Class Of
the Reserve. All others capable Of
doing farm work but lacking in ex-
perience will be enrolled in Class 2.

BOYs AND the WORKING RESERVE.


building up the Boys Working Reserve in this city
i and state, everyone should bear certain important
facts in mind.
One is that the matter is much important than
the manner.
Another is that the matter is much more important
than the man
The thing OF all things needed is for the boys to
roll and following their enrolment to do, faithfully and
we'll that part OF the work which has been assigned
to them for performance.
In the last analysis It matters little whether that
roment be made under Federal State direction so
long It be made and the boys receive good and
treatment in exchange for good work.
In the main they win be youthful patriots and not
youthful obhunters Due credit should be given them
FOR the patriotic impulse which underlies their enroll
ment.
When Joseph NJ Armstrong was Federal director Of
the work in this State gave to him. he doubtless
VIII attest loyal support because Of tho he
represented and the Official position he held. He is
Democratic politician This Is a Republican newspaper
But said at the outset looked upon the matter
being OF infinitely greater Importance than either the
or the man.
When an attack was made upon Mr. Armstrong be-
he had shifted his partisan allegiance from
Salisbury to Senator Wolcot condemned that
because felt that Democratic factiona fight should
not be prosecuted at the expense Of the repre-
scented by the Boys Working Reserve
When, finally, Mr. Armstrong retired because the work
was taken by the State Council and Charles Warner
a Republican, made State director to succeed him.
the thought still persisted that the matter is more inn
portsnt than the and that the matter more i'm
portant than the man.
So, support the Boys Working Reserve for what It
is and what IL means to world democracy and world
freedom. Give TO the state director the fun measure Of
support not because he is who he s but because he is
what he Isl and also because the which he repre-
sens is what It is and the hope and desire
Of the Federal Government.
