JOBSON SYSTEM TO
REACH THIS COUNTRY
Well known Men Interested in
Bringing New Common Sense
Methods to Our Farms
Brings Crop Increase.

Something this county has been
needing for a good long time is go
ing to be brought here-thanks to
the efforts of Dillon Hardware Co.,
of Dillon, and c. McLaurin, of Min
turn. well known merchants and
good citizens who believe in helping
the "other fellow as we'll as selling
him goods.
The thli.S these gentlemen are
bringing to their section is nothing
more nor less than the Jobson Sys-
tem-something that will undoubt-
edly bring bigger crops to our farms
This System and Mr.. Jobson's re-
markable plow has created more talk
in the South than anything that's
happened since the big war began,
and the endorsements great Agricul-
turists, State Officials, leading farm
ers and practical men everywhere
have given it. puts it's merits and
benefits entirely beyond question.
AS matter of fact, the Jobson
System of deep plowing, less cost
and more crops, is nothing on earth
but good, common sense, and any
body can see the big benefits of it
as soon as they read the booklet now
being given out free by the above
named firms.
This book crtainly gives some
New Wrinkles in spring and sum-
mer plowing and no farmer can af-
ford 10 go head with his crop this
year without getting copy and
reading up on it.
The plOw holds out the benefits of
deep tilling which were practically
beyond the reach of small farmers
everywhere. 1t does this at ridi-
culously small price. 1t handles wet
land from one to three days earlier
than any other plow. 1t does two or
three plowing in one, and the fact
that it goes ten inches deep on the
same draft it takes to-pull any other
plow depth OF six inches is estab-
lished by the positive statement of
as great an Agriculturist as Hon. F.
J. Merriam, Editor and President of
oneof the great farm papers of the
Countrywide Southern Ruralist, of
Atlanta.
Our county dealers are much in
terested in getting a large number
of these plows on our farms this sea-
son, and they take this occasion to
invite every public spirited citizen in
the County to come in and investi-
gate this movement.

ing growing crops, which renders it

WILL MANAGE TO LIVE

When Uncle Sam fixed the profits
of the big meat packers at nine per-
cent there was mighty holler. The
packers at the time intimated that
they might have to go out of busi-
nss-the profit was too small to get
along on.
But Uncle Sam was not satisfied
with the way things looked in tina
big packing houses and so he started
an Investigation. Now the packers
admit that they have made a 80 per-
cent profit and we suppose Uncle
Sam is going to make them turn
over that extra FL percent
This looks like curtailment of
ones liberties-but it is not. We
have enjoyed almost unrestricted
liberty in this country so long that
we have come to look upon our liber-
ties as privileges. Large combina-
ttons Of capital operated on the the
ory that they had right to do as
they pleased with their earnings so
long as they staid within the law.
But the war has put a different COM
plexion on things. The meat pack
ers. along with other large corpor-
ations. have discovered that repub-
lican-made privileges they enjoyed
ed in times of peace cannot be exer-
cised under a democratic auministra-
ton in times of war

March, April and May are the great
months for building up the honey

Do not raise drones this spring.
Plan to use some type of standard

Babe Ruth Cleft) and George sisler.
BY JOE WILLIAMS.

The sizzling Mr.. Sisler came to
the Browns as pitcher, but he
proved such an adept at the gentle
art Of slugging that Manager Branch
Hickey wisely transformed him into
a regular so that his batting strength
would be available to the club ev-
cry day instead Of once q week. -
The ruthless Mr.. Ruth came to the
Red Sox as a pitcher and for sew
eral seasons Mr.. Ruth acquitted him
self quite nobly upon the mound, If
you must know. His submarine de-
livery made him one Of the most
feared and effective hurlers in the
majors. His grand average Of games
won and lost, exceed 500 by q flat
tering margin.
But Ruth-they cal him Babe for
some utterly unfathomable reason
can do more than pitch. Only three
men in the American league out
batted him in 1917 In other words,
next to Cobb, Speaker and Sisler
the Boston pitcher was the best bat
ter in the league. When Eddie Bar
row took over the management of
the club this spring he debated the
question of Ruth's effectiveness as a
pitcher as compared with his driv-
ing ability as batter, and seeing
that his team was more generously
endowed with curving skill than hit
ting strength he resolved to play
Ruth regIlarly-or as regularly as
conditions would permit.
What has been the result? To-
day Ruth is leading the league in
hitting with mark comfortably be-
yond the pretentious figure of 400.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1918-05-25

Besides he's playing a gee-whiz of
a game in the outfield, and perform
ing just as competently around the
first bag when given that corner to
guard. It begins to look as If Ruth,
like Sisler, has just naturally hatted
himself out of the box. Il Ia
Incidentally we seriously doubt if
there are two more versatile players
in the game than these two reformed
pitchers. Besides being a pitcher
Of class, Sisler is one of the best
first basemen in baseball. His play
ing in the field has won almost as
many games for the Browns as his
skill with the bat. The Michigan
collegian is also capable out
fielder, and can peg to the home
plate with the strength and accuracy
Of a Speaker. Ruth has shown that
he cannot only pitch, but play the
infield and outfield as well.
OF course the manager who plays
a pitcher day in and day out runs
the risk of destroying that players
art as boxman, because the strain
on the muscles Is quite different.
But apparently the manager is more
than willing to run this risk If he
thinks his prospect will continue to
smite the horsehide at a 800 gait.
Which presents another phase of the
much mooted controversy as to
which is more valuable to a club: a
smuggling batter or a winning pitcher.

Washington, D. C.-The United
States needs this year $4,000 nurses
to care for the two million Americana
who are under arms and the millions
who are preparing to take up arms
The country is face to face with
the knowledge that present methods
Of training and recruiting nurses is
Inadequate.
There are now 5000 Red Cross
nurses in the army and navy corps,
Of these 1000 are already in France
Others are in Italy, Greece, Pales-
tine. They are caring for TIE civil
ans who are war-hit as we'll as for
the men who come back bleeding
and dismembered from battle.
Surgeon General Gorgas Of the
army has issued a call to the New
York County chapter of the Red
Cross for 5000 nurses by the first of
June. Red Cross chapters all over
the country are calling for smaller
numbers of nurses and the restric-
tons have been lowered to permit
women over forty to enlist, and girls
as young as twenty-one.
What Is a Nurse?
What does it mean to be a Red
Cross nurse2 1t means to meet the

subject to call to any duty. The Red
Cross nursing service is the reserve
of the United States army and navy
corps. When a Red Cross nurse is
called into the army or navy corps
she receives the pay and mainten-
ance provided by that corps just as
a soldier. She wears on her collar
the brass letters ~. s." and ceases
to be under the Jurisdiction of the
Red Cross. She is entitled to the
same war risk insurance that en-

colors directly and shares the for
tunes and the risks of war.
The surgeon generals present
plans call for the setting up of 200,-
600 beds in France. In this country
there are already 100000 beds. If
the United States puts a million men
in the field in addition to the two
million now under arms another $780,
900 beds will be needed. This will
mean more beds than there are in the
established hospitals Of this country
for the care Of the civilian sick in
peace times.
A recent report issued on the
nursing situation by the public health
committee of the New York Acad-
envy Of Medicine says in part:
Shortage Already Apparent.
"a shortage or nurses has already
become apparent in the hospitals,
particularly in the smaller ones and
parts of the country tell the same
story. The flow Of nurses from civil
to military hospitals will continue
and should be encouraged, but try as
We may the stream will diminish and
the needs Of the army cannot be fill
ed in this way"
The maximum annual output of
nurses, as the schools are today, will
be 1900 graduates, according to
figures compiled by the Red Cross.
The army may succeed in getting
one-third Of these-a sadly made
quate number.
Some of the proposed cures for the
situation have been tried. One is
the general appeal to the girls Of the
nation to enroll in nursing schools.
This appeal has been made and re-
made, but the results have been IN
satisfactory.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1918-05-25

A suggestion which has been made
but not tried is the addition to the
army staffs of "practicaW nurses to
serve as attendants and thus free
trained nurses of the chores which
are burdensome and do not require
their experiences. The argument
against this plan is the demoralizing
effect it might have on nursing
standards after the war. These
practical" nurses who had served in
army hospitals would make claims
that they were as capable as the
trained nurses when they returned
to civil life, it is feared.
Army Training ImpracticabIe.
The suggestion has been made that
the army establish huge nurses
training schools similar to the can
tonments at which the army men are
trained. Here again arises the bug
aboo Of faulty training and a reduc-
ton Of nursing standards.
Another suggestion, which may be
the saving suggestion and the means
of getting women enough to join the
Jane A. Delanos and other American
women who are at the front, is the
suggestion Of DR.. S. S. Goldwater,
chairman Of the war service commit
tee IF the American Hospital asso-
ciation, and chairman Of the hos
pitfalls committee, general medical
board, Council Of National Defense.
He suggests an army of nursing
aids recruited from the ranks of the
leisure class women of America
women who will gratuitously serve.
where and how they can with no idea
of ever taking up nursing after the
war. DR.. Goldwater points out that
it is that class Of Englishwomen who
are solving the same problem for the
British.

Washington, May 25.-Another
love toward full utilization of the

In a letter to Speaker Clark asking

His Rise Meteoric.
Throckmorton's rise has been me-
teoric. He started his drive in 1915
when he acquired the national inter
scholastic title. They seldom come
any quicker than this.
Speed is the real secret Of HaroId's
success against such stars as Fred
Alexander, Watson Washburn, Bill
Clothier and many others. He had
adopted the fiery. slam bang Cali
fornia style Of game and thrown in
a few speed features of his own. This
is surprising, for Throckmorton has
not the robust build OF q McLaugh-
lin or a Williams, but is very thin
and frail
Just where "Throck' gets the
strength and endurance to play his
kind OF game is just as much of
mystery as the real discoverer of
tennis. He hits every kind of a shot
hard, not so much through great
muscular power, but by a wonderful
and accurate timing of the ball. His

like McLaughlin's at his best, and
Harold moves around the court with

Throckmorton is probably the first
fastener to adopt the spectacular

he lacked steadiness. This he has
acquired In tournament competition

Fred Alexander, who has been both
a tutor and adviser to the lad.

by this, but in her speeches and the

She has founded a magazine which
she calls by the same name and she

1t was the influence of western

She was graduated from a high
school headed by one Junko Take

"Other schools emphasized only.

While at school Nine. Kimura took
special course in literature and
thus came to know the theories Of
