GAVE LIFE FOR HIS MEN.

"He was game to the last" This is
what the men on RATS in an open
sea said of Lieut.. Stanton Frederick
Kalk when death claimed this brave
young officer of the United States
navy after he had fought to save his
ship and then gone to the rescue of
his men. Kalk was the officer of the
deck OF the Jacob Jones when the de-
stroyer was torpedoed. When the
submarine was sighted he at once
took prompt and efficient measures
to maneuver the ship clear of the
torpedo. The explosion, however,
could not be avoided, and the ship
began to sink eight minutes after be-
ing struck. Although in a weakened
condition, Lieutenant Kalk, with no
thought of self, swan from one raft
to another among the men afoat in
a turbulent sea, trying to equalize
the weight of each raft. He finally
succumbed to exposure, his life sac
rifce for his shipmates. Lieutenant
Kalk was born in Alabama October
ID, 1894. He was appointed to the
naval academy from Nebraska in
1912, his appointment as ensign dat
ing from June, 1916. Previous to
serving on the Jacob Jones he was
attached to the U. S. S. Florida.

DIG, PLANT AND HOE!

America has assumed the task Of

for food. Producing food is one of
Americas most important duties,
and it is duty that is not shirked.

VOLUNTEER ROAD WORK
ON OCTOBER 3O-3I
Roads Around Washington to
BE CIdyed on Those
Days.

Mayor T. Y. Williams has set
apart Wednesday and Thurs
day, October 30-31, as the days
for voluntary road working on
the roads and streets leading
out from Washington and all
patriots are called upon to do
nate their labor, wagons and
teams for these two days, which
will be spent in hauling clay to
the sandy places and otherwise
putting our roads in good con-
dition.
This badly needed road work
ing was put off during the sum-
mer because the clay was so
dry and hard that it was i'm
possible to plow it up. The re-
cent good rains have overcome
this difficulty and the Mayor is
ready to go after the job with
a vim. In order to make the
needed repairs it will take a
big force of laborers and many
wagons and teams.
Mr.. Jas. F. Dugger has vol
unteered to see to the plowing
up of the clay in advance, so
that the work may be dispatch
ed with greater rapidity, and in
addition to many wagons from
the country, several Hope COM
panies who operate trucks
through Washington, have vol
unteered the use of these in
hauling clay.
Besides the numerous volun-
teers, the street hands will be
warned out and used in loading
clay during the two days.

TO BE REPRE-
SENTED ON LOCAL AND
DISTRICT BOARDS

1t is probably we'll known
that the District Baoard, con-
vening at Fort Smith, Ark, has
exclusive jurisdiction on all aga
ricultural claims for deferred
classification. Recently it has
been ordered that an agricul-
tural representative of the Ad-
visory Board sit with the Dis
trict Board in passing upon all
agricultural claims made by
the state.
1t has also been recently or
dered that the county demon
stration agents of the various
counties meet with the various
Local Boards and, together with
them, consider the agricultural
claims made for deferred clas-
sification, the duty of the coun-
ty agent in this matter consist
ing of giving advise and infor-
nation as to the needs in the va
riuos localities in this county.
The county agent will have no
authority to make decisions,
but will, when needed, furnish
the Local Board with facts and
information in addition to that
set forth in each QUESTIONABLE.
The Local Board, after hav-
ing this information before it,
will then, in each case, make its
recommendation to the District
Board, who will make the de-
cision on the matter. The regu-
latiOn of the War Department
is that the mere fact that a reg
istrant is a farmer will not en-
title him to deferred classifica-
tion, but that it sis producing
an appreciable amount of agri-
cultural products over and a.
bove what is necessary for the
of those living in
the place" which will place him
in the class of a necessary farm
worker.
Our county agent, Mr.. j. H.
McCally, has already made ar
rangements with the Local
Board of Hampstead county to
carry out the instructions of
the War Department in regard
to these agricultural claims,
and no calls will be made upon
those who have made claims for
deferred classification on agri-
cultural grounds until these
claims have been considered
and passed upon by the District
Board, converting at Ft. Smith.

GERMANY'S PEACE TALK
AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE

Germany wants peace, or at
least says she does, but the
truth very likely is that she
wants a chance to pull herself
out of a bad fix and is ready to
take any advantage that she
possibly can get. She wants an
armistice or most any old thing
to get a chance to put her ar
mics in a position where they
can make a fight. The allied
commanders, however, are on
to Germany's tricks ahkare not
going to give her the (ntage
sought. Instead, tn ill ex-
plot their gains to- the utmost
.'sd Keep the GermaF armies on
the hike for the border. All the
allied commanders And all the
allied armies are anxious to
keep up the fight until the foe
has been placed in such position
that he cannot longer fight and
has to lay down his arms, and
that is the only logical way to
deal with such a foe.
