Big Cotton Deal

The largest cotton sale that has ever been made in Carlisle was made by Nichols & Hutson Wednesday, when they sold $25, S00.00 worth of that staple to Crump, Britton < West of Little Rock. The cotton was loaded on the railrod platform Wednesday morning at which time motor trucks could be seen hurrying the work of moving it from the cotton yard back of the firms store to the railroad. This old reliable firm has purchased about 1000 bales so far this season and will get a few more before the season closes. As the ginning of cotton was shut down during the extremely bad weather the clos ing of the season was made some late. This large consignment of cotton has been the means of putting much money in circula- tion among the cotton growers during the past few months,

Woman Labor

Tbere is no necessity for wom
 en entering industries hereto
 fore employing men exclusively, says Labor Com missioner Cor
 man of California. The only reason for such action is the de
 sire of the employers to make money. In many instances it has been found that men too old to enlist in the army have been laid off and women substituted Cases were cited where employees had been discharged for asking for higher wages, and women employed at about one half the wages paid the men. In other words, to put it plainly, the em
 ployers are using the war as an excl SC to get their work done cheap and make more for them selves by having women work CTS. The consumer pays the same price. The employer pro fits at the expense of the public

U. S. Army Recruiting Station

Iue LulUOIs
 Dear Sir:
 Will you please give the follow ing the widest possible publicity:
 Men of all ages and occupa tions are urgently requested to awake to the realization of the real conditions of the war and the needs of THEIR COUNTRY and then do what ALL MEN are doing, enlist in the service of their country. Every branch of the Army is now open for enlist ments of men between the ages of IS to 2l and 31 to fl years. The 20th Engineers, National Army, is open for registrants who are qualified to perform the work of this regiment, viz, for estry work of all kinds.
 The Aviation Section of the Signal Corps needs, at once, men with the following qualifications; clerks, stenographers, bookkeep CTS, photographers, painters and mechanics. Men who possess a slight knowledge of either of the above, can be accepted for this work, if they will apply to the nearest recruiting officer.
 We are accepting men for in fantry, cavalry, coast artillery, field artillery, quartermaster corps. signal corps. medical de- partment and ordinance corps. Men can now enter the Army and perform the same class of work that they have been doing in civil life. Spring time is near and the weather will be ideal for the training of men, so every eff fort is being put forth to obtain men for the service, in order that we will have fighting force that will rank with the best in Europe
 The Army is in need of pho tographers, and a man who is thus qualified will find real in teresting and useful work, inter- esting to himself and useful to the Army. Every man who can operate a camera and do finishing work could do no more patriotic duty than to offer his service to HIS GOVERNMENT. This will not only aid in the prosecution of the war, but will greatly in crease his knowledge for more successful career in civil life af- ter the war is over.
 It is requested that you gather from the above notes, news items that will reach the masses who are eligible to serve their coun- try in this, the greatest and most just war of history.
 Thanking you for any publicity ytu may render us in obtaining men for the Army
 Very Respectfully,
 N. M Cartmell
