EXECUTIVE EXPECTED
TO SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH
BOYS IN KHAKI.

Seldom has any king, emperor or
foreign dignitary been given great
er welcome than that accorded Presi-
France. When he reached Paris last
Saturday, he was met with a salvo of
artillery. AS he, Mrs. Wilson and Miss
Margaret Wilson were taken by Presi-
lent Poincaire to the Prince Murat
mansion, they passed between solid
ines of French troops, amid the rous-
ing and hearty cheers OF the crowds.
american patriotic airs, played by
oands, and the Stars and Stripes every
where have greeted the party.
Sweden Extends Welcome
Europe, in fact, is extending the
glad hand of welcome to the repre-
,entatives of the American people,
who helped to make "the world safe
for Democracy" Sweden has joined
in sending Mr. Wilson messages of
welcome and gratitude, one message
being May the noble principles Of
truth and justice impressing your
parsonage lead to a peace Of recon
ciliation between the peoples" An
other neutral country in the war,
Spain, praises him editorially.
The round, of receptions in Paris
began on the day of Mr. Wilson's ar
rival. He and Mrs. Wilson were given
luncheon by President and Mrs.
Poincaire, at which the American
president voiced appreciation of his
welcome. From the first the thought
Of the people of the United States
urned from merely winning the war;
it turned to the establishment of eter-
nal principles of right and Justice;
hat it must be won in such way, and
the question settled as to insure the
freedom and happiness of the world
md lay the foundation for the free
iom and happiness of the many peo-
pies of the world" declared Mr.. VIII
son.
Tribute To Lafayette
Sunday Mr. Wilson laid a wreath
on the tomb Of La Fayette, without
any ceremony. He attached his per-
sonal card to the wreath, on which he
had written: "In memory of the great
La Fayette from fellow servent of
liberty"
Monday afternoon, the American ex-
ecutive was conducted by President
Poincaire to the city hall, where i'm
pressive ceremonies were held. Said
Mr.. Wilson: You have been exceeding
ly generous in what you have been
gracious enough to say to me, far be-
yond my personal deserts, but you
have interpreted with real insight the
motives and resolutions of the people
Of the United States. Whatever influ-
ence l exercise, whatever authority l
speak with 1 derive from them"
Adrien Mithouard, president Of the
is with deep emotion that the capital
welcomes today the first President Of
the United States who has crossed
the ocean,"
President Wilson is expected to
visit the American troops Christmas
and celebrate the day with them at
Treves. Rome is making elaborate
to welcome him. King
Victor Emmanuel was scheduled to
pay Mr. Wilson a visit at the murat
palace yesterday.

JERSEY CLUBS FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS

If they can do this in Missouri, why
not in Haywood county? We suggest
that our farm demonstration and Miss
Corbett take this up.
In April, 1917, thrity-three bred
registered Jersey heifers, bred by Mr..
Jacob E. White, Greenfield, Ohio, were
distributed in Marion county, at an
average cost Of S127.27 each, or a to-
tai of $4,000. April q, 1918, these he'll
fers and their increase, totaling sew
enty-two head, sold for a total of
Sl0,7S0, or an average of $3.50 each,
making a total profit for the boys and
girls of $3.50. The cost of feed and
care was largely overcome by the
original thirty-three heifers, which
sold, with calves, at an average of 1927
each.
In the original purchase of these
calves, when the club was organized
the First National Bank of Palmyra
stood sponsor, as veil as bearing the
expense of the sale.
The profits from the sale by no
means represent the benefit derived.
Almost every animal offered was N
splendid cdndition, convincing in
most practical way the boy who cared
for his heifer that his efforts were
worth while, at the same time showing
the boy who had neglected his heifec
his shortcomings. 1t started many of
the boys and girls on their first bust
ness venture, enabling them to pay
their notes in most cases and having
enough money left to buy and pay for
their next heifer. Another club is be-
ing organized at Palmyra. Missouri
has successfully organized its six
tieth calf club.
The Jersey heifers are here and as
good as can be found and will be sold
to boys and girls who will take care
of them at reasonable prices and on
time.

NEXT WEDNESDAY is
REGISTRATION DATE

Wednesday Of next week is the date
fixed by President Wilson as the date
on which all men who have become p
years Of age since June 5, 1917, must
register for the selective service in the
United States Army.
Attention is called to the fact that
the call applies to all who have attain
ed their majority since the date of the
first registration, and that possible ex-
emptions have no bearing on the order
to register.
The thing to do is to register, and
after that comes the time for making
claims for exemption. The important
thing now is to register.
Local boards throughout the state
have been supplied with all the neces-
sary cards and papers bearing on the
registration, and all is in readiness for
the work. 1t is now up to the regis
trants.
Warning has been issued through
the office Of Major Rutledge Smith, ex-
executive officer, to certain students
in divinity and medical schools who had
been under the erroneous impression
that they were exempt from registra-
ton. 1t is impressed on these stu
dents that their duty is to register,
and to secure exemption through the
board afterwards, the law exemptine
them from service, but not from reg
istering.
Major Smith is nightly pleased with
the prompt manner in which the va
rious boards have made preparations

port to our allies. FromS250, 000, 00u
10 100000, 900 may be saved for in
vestment in War Savings Stamps and
Liberty Bonds.
The children and their families may
have fresh vegetables, fruits and eges
TO eat through spring, summer and fall
and wholesome canned and dried vege-
tables and jams and preserves through
the winter. Children may gain health
and strength, habits of industry, thrift
and economy, and an understanding of
the fundamental principle of moralisY
that everyone must find joy in help
ing to pay his own way by his own
efforts. They may gain invaluable
knowledge of soil and climate, plant
and animal life and household econom-
les. Many hundreds of thousands viii
gain a knowledge and love of garden
ing which will follow them through
life.
For all this children win not need to
ose any day or hour from school.
All this can be had, but it will not
come of itself; nor can it be had mere.
ly through offering prizes for best ex
hibits and other devices. There must
eb constant and intelligent teaching
and direction. In city, town, village
and suburban communities there should
be employed one teacher-director for
every one hundred and fifty children Of
between 8 and ii years old. This
teacher should know gardening thee
retically and practically, and should
have the help of a practical gardenc.
to help the children with such heavy
work as they cannot do themselves.
The teacher should be employed for
the whole year and gardening should
begin as early in the spring as mus
tard, lettuce, radishes, onions and peas
may be grown, and continue without
interruption through the summer and
until the last turnips, beets, carrots
and cabbages are harvested.
School boards, chambers of cont
merce, boards of trade, banks and pat
riotic citizens can well afford to fur
nish the money for these and other
incidental eXpenses.-Dr. P. P. Clax-
ton, U. S, Commissioner of Education.

In almost any community there q grand
ma who knows Mothers Friend. Not only
Is she reminiscent of her own experience,
but 1t was through her recommendation that
20 many expectant mothers derived the com
fort and blessing of this famous remedy.
Mothers Friend Is an external application
prepared especially for expcctant mothers
after the formula of a noted family physl-
clan. It certainly has a wonderful effect
In relieving tension brought about by ex-
banding muscles, and Is a most grateful en-
enlargement to the woman awaiting moth
erho0d.
The action of Mothers Friend makes the
muscles free, plant and responsive. When
baby arrives they expand easily, and pain
and danger at the crisis is naturally less.
Strain upon the nerves and ligaments Is
lessened and In place of a period Of discom-
Tort and consequent dread, 1t is season Of
calm repose and happy anticipation.
Mothers Friend enables the mother TO pre-
serve her health and natural grace and she
remains a pretty mother by having avoided
the pain and suffering which more often
than otherwise accompanies such an occasion
when nature Is unaided.
Write the Brad1eld Regulator Co.
Lamar Bldg, Atlanta, Ca, for their 'Moth
erhood Book" so valuable to expectant moth
ers, and In the meantime do not by any
chance fail to purchase a bottle of Mothers
Friend from the druggist and thus fortifv
yourself against pain and discomfort, Moth
ers FRIEND should be applied night and morn
