MOLINE BOARD
SENDS 43 men
Eight Selected TO Go Fail to Show
Up and AIternates are Sub
stitutes for Quota.

Forty-three selectives living in
Moline. East Moline and the upper
end OF Rock Island county wer's
entrailed for the Jefferson bai-
racks at ST Louis this morning.
They LEFT on a special train owe,
the Burlington at $50 o'clock. The
men reported for roll call at the
Moline Commercial club at 4 30
yesterday afternoon. Those who
lived some distance from :ne city
we're kept in a hotel over night
but those who lived in Moline were
permitted to go to their home to
sleep.
Eight OF the selectives scheduled
to entrain failed to show up and
eight alternates were summoned i'll
their place. 1t Is interesting to
note that Robert +, McMonigle. one
OF the boys rejected at Fort Rose
Grams last month, was sent with
the contingent today. This shows
that the policy of the exemption
discharges to men rejected at the
western coast artillery training
camp because the men are not
work. On the other hand. the
physical requirements al Fort
Rosecrans having been so severe,
rejectment there is not cOnsid-
cred a bar from other branches of
national army service ana men
turned down at the western fort
are not to consider themselves eX-
empt from further military ser
vice.
Edwin o. Johnson was placed in
charge of the Moline contingent,
The Moline chapter Of the Red
Cross provided each man with ii
comfort kit and a box of candy.
Because of the early hour of the
departure. there was not a largo
crowd at the sta ion, those pres

A great many dealers from all over

The motor cultivator is new

the demonstration and many COM

THE UNITED STATES BOYS
WORKING RESERVE.

Attention is called to the articles IN
this issue of The Item relative to the
sU. S. Boys Working Reserve. This
organization is growing day by day in
importance and the people every
where are beginning more nearly TO
appreciate its plans and purposes
We especially wish to call attention
to the expression of appreciation by
General Pershing and the call by
President Wilson. General Pershins
says. 1.-The achievements Of the Boys
working Reserve during the past
svear are beyond praise. The Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces thank one
and all for the support which you
.re giving us. President Wilson has
issued this call:

The Bible admonishes all believers
to watch as we'll as pray, and the
closing Of churches clearly falls un-
der the admonition to watch, Tor
watching our actions and refrainins
from gathering in crowds, the cpl
demic may be stayed. 1t is not nee
essary for good people to crowd to-
gether in churches to pray, for we are
taught that the patriots and saints OF
OLD often retired solitary and alone TO
desert places to pray in days OF
great trial and tribulation. Criticism
of the wise precautions the health
authorities have taken to abate the
influenza epidemic is not IN good
taste and is founded upon nelther
every day common sense nor scrip
11re. We all should and can PRAY
sincerely and fervently for the re-
nnoval OF the affliction that rests up
on US. and we should not refuse q
pray because the Board Of Health
ordered the churches closed to PR
vent the assemblaSe of crowds ana
the further spread OF the disease.

no labor are lacking in this great
matter"
The United States Boys Working
Reserve does not in any way inter-
fere with a boys educational op
portunities; on the contrary, the Re-
serve makes the conservation of the
boy of far greater Importance than
the conservation of food; but in con-
serving food and in helping to solve
the labor problem there is no reason
why the boys education should be
curtailed in any way.
The United States Boys Working
Reserve does rot in any way con-
template the removal of boy from
his fathers farm, unless the father
himself expresses a desire for such
transfer.
The people generally interested in
the labor question which is growing
more acute every day are beginning
to recognize the fact that we must
depend upon a hiterto unusual labor
asset. If we are satisfactorily toI
solve this vexing question, the boy
power of our State and Country must
be employed All boys over sixteen
years of age must be used in farming
and in other essential industries.
The boys themselves are beginning
to catch a vision of what this work
means. They are beginning to see
that they are IN essential part of our
democratic government; that upon
their shoulders will rest largely the
solution of the labor problem; that:
if their big brothers abroad are to be
kept up to their highest efficiency,
the boys who are left behind must
work as they have never worked be-
fore. These boys, therefore, will be
urged forward by the great qualities
of loyalty and patriotism. While
their big brothers are SO true to the
demands that are being made upon
the fields of France, the boys will
rot be untrue to the call that has
come to them. They will enlist in
great numbers in this army of work
ers at home, in order that they may
sustain the great army of fighters
abroad
The headquarters of the United
States Boys Working Reserve for
South Carolina are located in Sumte-
and we confidently expect to hear
rom this Office of great results ac-
,omplished by these boys. We feel
perfectly sure that South Carolina is
lust as patriotic as any other State
md that her sons are not lacking in
oyalty and allegiance for their coun-
ry. The United States Boys Work
ng Reserve is a great organization
md we feel sure that the boys will
,e proud of the fact that to them has
,een given the opportunity Of per-
orming a work that is so essential
o the well-being of our people at
,ome and to the maiptenance of QUO
soldiers abroad.

LITTLE KIND FEELING.
Peace of Reconciliation Not Held il
High Favor in England Now.

London, Oct. 13.-The sinking OF
the steamer Leinster gave stunning
blow to whatever feeling existing IL
england for a peace Of reconcilia-
ton. The affair caused more indlg-
nation than any submarine exploit
since the sinking of the Lusitania.
The contrast of Prince Maxlm1ilan
benevolent utterances and Germany
day by day military and naval poll
cies is the text for most of the news
paper sermons on the situation. Not
only the slaughter of women and chill
lren on the Leinster and the Hiranc
Maru but the Germans refusal to ex-
change prisoners and the stories com
ing from the front of the needless
devastation in Belgium and northern
France are working together to put
a damper on any sentiment OF lem
iency towards the central powers.
It appears plain that the German
peace proposals are regarded with
more disfavor here today than they
were a week ago. Even some proml'
nent papers with pacifist leanings are
demanding punishment for the viola.
tions Of civilized warfare and as
necessary part of any peace terms
The words expressed by Arthur j
Balfour, secretary of State for foreigr
affains, were epitomic of the public
feeling. Mr.. Balfour is usually mos
scrupulous in his observance Of the
traditions of diplomacy for polite
phrases under all circumstances. The
public interprets his remarks as
sign that the government does no
carry any leanings toward compro
mise with Germany.

CAROLINA BOND DAY.

Whereas, national failure in
the Fourth Liberty Loan cam
paign would be of inestimable
comfort to the enemy and
might prolong the war;
Whereas, South Carolina, in
the prosecution of her duty
during this all important cam
paign, has been hampered by
the prevalence of a sickness
which has reduced the work
ing forces of the drive and i'm
paired it's efficiency;
And whereas, for the States
honor and her right to remain
a proud commonwealth, some
remedy must be found for this
critical situation:
Therefore now do I, Richard :
l. Manning, governor of South
Carolina, designate and pro- :
claim Wednesday, October 16, :
as Carolina Liberty Bond Day
and urge that the business of :
the entire State for that day be
the buying anu selling of Lib .
erty Bonds. I Furthermore :
urge that every place of busi-
ness in the State which can :
possibly do so close its doors :
on that date and release its
employees for the saving OF :
South Cardinals honor and the
fCrthe rance Of the country's :
fortunes in war
I ask that this proclamation
be given wide and thorough :
publicity by the press and the :
ministers of the State.

glng, the call by the government for
siz billion dollars is not being met by
the people OF the United States and
there seems to be some danger tina,
the minimum amount will not. be
Subscribed The government has not
asked for a dollar more than is abso-
sIute1H essential at this immediate
moment for the successful prosecu-
ton sof the war. The men who are
fghtihg In France in defense of the
freedom OF the world and the safety

their safety upon the support Of the

called on to give their servics pr
fer their lives on the battle nt
mist; if they do their duty, lend
their money to the government to the
limit Of their ability until the requests
OF the government have been fully
satisfied. No one has the right to
withhold from the government a
single dollar that he has in his pos
session, so long as Liberty Loan has
not been fully subscribed. The man
who can lend the government a thou
sand dollars and only buys one hun
dred dollar bond is Stacker and is
helping the Hun to kill our boys in
France. Sumter county has not yet
subscribed much over one-half the al
slotment, and many meg who have
money lying idle have not done their
duty. The issueIis one that cannot be
