John Tilman Mitchell, Jr., was
given an ovation last night when he
gave splendid performance of ban

house between reels of the Marguerite
Clark picture "Bab's Diary Young
Mitchell is former Columbia boy
who has attained distinction in the
Northwest as a banjo player. He is
a son of John T. Mitchell, former
hardware merchant of this city, who
with his father and two brothers, is
visiting Mrs. Stuart Fleming and other
relatives in the county. While here
he was asked to give a performance
and the crowd that packed the opera
house last night was a manifestation
OF the esteem in which he is held in
his old home town. The applause after
each number was deafening, and the
happy manner in which Young Mitch
ell received the ovation was one of
the most pleasing features of the
evening. He was accompanied on the
piano by Miss Camille Herndon 1t
is probable that before returning to
his home at Spokane, Wash, he and
his brothers, who also are musicians,
will give a concert in Columbia.

PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM
EXERCISED BY TWO BOYS
PREFER TO WORK ON FARM FOR
HALF WHAT THEY COULD
GET ELSEWHERE.

Preferring to continue to help in
the production of foodstuffs on the
Middle Tennessee experiment station,
two Maury county boys have given a
practical demonstration of patriotism
by declining an offer at more than
twice the wages they are getting on
the farm to become clerks in COM
missary at Birmingham. Earl and
James Hayes, sons of Squire G. w.
Hays, secured jobs on the experiment
station during their school vacation
at $3.50 and board a month. A few
days ago they were offered positions
as clerks in Birmingham commits
sary at $50 and board. When a tele-
gram was received Tuesday urging
them to report at Birmingham immed-
lately, they replied that the farm need
ed them more than the commissary
and continued their blowing.

Where threshemen, or dealers or

U. S, OFFICE WON'T
DISTURB FARM LABOR
OBJECT Is TO KEEP MEN Salts
FLED WITH PRESENT JOBS
WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED.

Seven boys were secured as apple
pickers for |. c. Murphy by the local
u S. Employment office and they are
now helping to harvest the big crop
of fruit on the Murphy farm This is
but one example of what the office
will do for those who are seeking
labor.
James M. Dedman, manager of the
local, stated today that he wants it
thoroughly understood that the en-
ployment service is seeking only to
secure employment for men out of
employment or to find jobs for men
more adaptible than that in which
they may now be engaged. Under no
circumstances will laborers be taken
from one employer and turned over to
another in the same class of work.
The office will not, for instance, take
men from one farm and turn them
over to another farmer at higher
wages. Nor will men be taken from
essential industries either for non-es-
sential or other no more essential in
dustry. The main object of the SER
vice is to stabilize labor conditions
by finding employment for those out
of work and keep those who have
work satisfied with the jobs they
have Much is being done to stop the
continual flow of workmen from one
industry to another, thus causing
much loss of time congestion of traf-
fic and heavy expense.
The local office has several applica-
tons on file from young ladies who
desire employment as stenographers
and would be glad to find positions
for them.
Although every effort is being made
to find lsborers for mines and farms
the demand for them is so great that
it has been practically impossible to
find many of them.
