Suspension of Examination Of
Drafted Men.

The decsiion of the war depart
ment to be more liberal in the ac-
ceptance of registrants under the
draft law for military service on
examination. it is believed by mill
tary officials to be responsible for
the order which was transmitted to
draft boards within the state to
cease examining men. They believe
this order. which has generally been
complied with over the state. will be
followed up with the new rules and
regulations governing the examina
tions and that orders will then be
received to resume the examinations
under the new order.

Our State Council for Defense, and
others who have carefully studied
the situation, predict very serious
shortage of farm labor this summer.
1t Is but the part of wisdom to an
ticipate the condition and to take
immediate steps to meet it In the
most practical manner possible.
Two great factors enter into the
problem. First. the shortage Of sup
ply; second, the price to be paid.
II each farmer tries to solve these
problems for himself, Independent OF
his fellow farmers. the result can
only be a failure of everyone. 1t Is
q case where hearty cooperation of
every farmer in the county must be
secured, or great loss Will result to
all. Our county commissioners have
employed county agent to direct the
solution OF farm problems. He can
only act economically through an or
ganization and the county farm bu-
reau has been organized for that
purpose This farm bureau has an
ticipated the seriousness OF the stu
alton and has outlined plans for
meeting 1t. During the next two
weeks there will be mass meetings
held In various localities OF the coun-
ty at which every farmer is urged to
be present to assist in the discussion
and completion of these plans In or
der that united action may be had to
meet conditions.
The first meeting will be held at
Richfield, Saturday, Feb. 9. Other
meetings will follow at various other
centers.
II you have occasion to use hired
farm help this summer you can not
should know the plans OF the Farm
Bureau and Just how you can help II
as we'll as have 1t help you. 1t is a
case where mutual help and concen-
trated effort on the part OF Lincoln
County farmers must be secured OF
the labor situation will become &c
uncertain that even the help that
may be cesured will demand a price
beyond your power to pay. These
hings may be remedied only through
your hearty cooperation with the
farm bureau.
A meeting is to be held at Jerome
Wed, Feb. 18th. at Woodmen's hall
to start at 1880 p. m. and all are
urged to attend this meeting.

The Women's Part.

philadelphia Public Ledger
Gen. Pershing has sent a message
to DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, answer
ing the Christmas message OF Amer
lean women to his forces. He justly
says that "the patriotism of our in
comparable women" is to be a
constant inspiration, until the great
task which has been intrusted to US
shall be accomplished" 1t is no
longer true, as in Charles Kingsley's
famous song. that it is the monopoly
Of men to work and of women to
weep when arduous and perilous en-
terprises are afoot. The women who
remain at home are doing with thei,'
might whatsoever their hands find to
do; the women who go abroad are
in nearly every instance accepting
without complaint whatever onerous
service is assigned to them.
The spirit of the heroes is matched
bv that of the heroines, who find
much in their lives of service that is
far cry from the romantic, the
spectacular and the adventurous. The
constancy and conservation of their
toll in homes and hospitals behind
the firing line are not less admir-
able than the spirit that sends man
when the hour strikes. lover the top
into No Mans Land 1t is harder to
accept monotony of drudgery day
after day than sudden thrilling
ecstacy of the shell-swept field Of
battle The modern woman is moi
content to await the catafalque of
warrior fallen and then to bewai
him. She does her part as warrior
even though she does not wear thu
steel helmet and the gas mask. o.
WELD the bayonet. Her inspiration
is that of deeds that shine as well a
of words that comfort and encour
age.

Gen. Pershing Praises the American
Fighting Men In France.

In a recent communication to Sec
retary of War Baker. the commander
of the American expiditionary forces
said:
There has never been a similar
body of men to lead as clean lives as
our American soldiers In France
They have entered this war with the
highest devotion to duty and with no
ties in most efficient manner possi-
BILE. They fully realize their obliga-
tion to their own people, their friends
and the country. A rigid program OF
instruction is carried out daily with
traditional American enthusiasm
Engaged in healthy, interesting exer-
cises In the open air, with simple d.
cts. officers and men, like trained
athletes are ready for their tasks.
Forbidden the use of strong drink
and protected by stringent regula-
tion against sexual evils, and sup
ported by their own moral courage,
their good behavior is the subject OF
most favorable comments, especially
by our allies. American mothers may
rest assured that their sons are a
credit to them and to the nation, and
they may we'll look forward to the
proud day when on the battle field
these splendid men TIll shed new
luster on American manhood"
