BARS LET DOWN IN
NAVY ENLISTMENTS
Men Wanted to Man New Ships.-
Those Of Draft Age Are Accepted.

Joining the navy is easy sailing at
present for a man Of clean habits
and good physique, the Naval Re-
serve having been opened to all pa.
triots between the ages OF IL and
AZ years.
Enlistments in the regular navy
are still being made with certain lin
itations. The Reserve, however, Of
fers the same opportunities, the same
pay, and the time of active service is
for the period of the war only.
The Recruiting Officer for Missis-
sippi announces that men particular
ly qualified for certain branches of
service will be enlisted or enrolled
in that branch and their rating and
pay advanced as rapidly as their abil-
Iity justifies.
Those without trades will be taken
as apprentice seamen or firemen n
taught trades which will qualify them
for advancement in the navy and fur
nish them with a useful occupation
when they return to civil life.
Men of draft age may join the
navy if they are not needed to fill
the current quota of their local
boards.
Certificates Needed.
Selectmen must obtain a certificate
from their local boards to this eff
feet, presenting this at the Recruit
ing Station when they apply for en-
listment. Each local board in the
state has the authorized form of such
certificate on file.
Men who had not reached the age
of 81 before June 5, 1917, must
furnish the Recruiting Officer with
an age certificate, signed by parent
or guardian and witnessed by the
postmaster on some other official.
The hospital corps is still open for
men suited to this branch. Carpen-
tiers are needed, also mechanics of
all kinds.
During the coming weeks a drive
is to be put in motion for enroll
ments in the Naval Reserve, special
inducements being offered. 1t is pre-
sumed that the taking over of the
Dutch ships and the launching of
new vessels has created an immedi-
ate need for more men, and on this
account a great opportunity is of
fered young men to serve their coun-
try in the navy, the branch of mil
itary service which has always proved
SO popular with Americas sons.
Recruiting Stations are in Meridi-
an, Jackson, Hattiesburg, West Point
and Grenada. Temporary stations
will also be opened elsewhere, an
nouncement Of which will be made
through the press.

German Counterfeiting

Tales have been current about in
termed German prisoners being fed
five meals a day, about Red Cross
supplies being sold to shopkeepers
by dishonest officials, by criminal
waste of food at training camps and
many other like falsehoods either
designed to discourage volunteer
Red Cross work and the loyal efforts
of housekeepers to save food or cal
culated to create troublesome dis
trust of the Government.
The circulation of these stories is
often due to the folly of citizen
who wishes to appear to have in
side information" and who either in
innocently or Intentionally starts a
lie that rapidly grows worse as it
spreads. A collection of such lies
and their REPUTATION has been made
by tie st. Louis Republic. A hun
dred of them are included in The
Kaiserite in America"

(Staff Correspondent of the News
Scimitar)
WASHINGTON, April 4-Follow-
ing the insistence of members of
congress, Gen. March, acting chief Of
OF staff, has completed the rules for
granting furloughs to soldiers under
a recent act law in order that they
may work upon farms. The de-
partment emphasizes its desire to
minimize the granting Of furloughs
and leaves it largely with the com
manding officer of each camp to
pass upon the application.
Burroughs granted will be largely
for seeding and harvesting time.
Such furloughs will not be granted
to enlisted men of or above the
grade of first sergeant, nor will they
be granted in any organization that
has been ordered or is in transit from
points of mobilization or training
to a port OF embarkation. Furloughs
granted will be recalled and the men
ordered to their organization when
the latter have received preparatory
orders for duty over seas.
Burroughs will be without pay
and allowances except that enough
pay will be retained in each case to
meet allotments in force on the date
of this order, war risk insurance and
pledges on Liberty bonds.

HOW TO BE SURE ABOUT TOYS

HOW TO BE SURE ABOUT TOYS
At women's meeting the other
day speaker warned the assembly
against the purchase Of Hun toys,
which she said were coming to this
country by the ship load. She ad-
vised the audience to look for the
manufacturers stamp, and to buy
nothing made in Germany.
We doubt if many Hun toys will
pet here for Christmas, but doubtless
many Hun products will seek a mar
kept here when trade channels open.
And you won't find many of these
goods with the Made-i Germany
mark. The Hun is no fool, and he
knows about how beloved he is.
Watch out for the Hun goods that
come from Holland, from Switzer-
land, from Norway and Sweden. Ger
many has been getting ready for the
poSt-bellum trade war by securing
control of factories in these countries,
and she expects to, master the world
trade by sneaking' in through the
back doors of neutral countries.
If it is made in France or in Eng
land or in Italy it is probably anti
Hun.
But if yoQ are right particular you
look for the made in U. S. A. stamp,
and then you are sure that you are
not fattening the pocket Of a baby
butcherer.
The combination of Wilhelm's Gott
and Santa Claus doesn't somehow
appeal to civilized folks.
Williston graphic., 1918-12-19

Many a man puts on long white
whiskers and thinks he looks like
Santa Claus when he looks more like
goat-and perhops he is.
One thing they missed during the
Spanish 1nquisition- Christmas cigars!
Shopping done in time is the
noblest work of woman!
A Christmas gift by any other
name doesn't cost half as much. ,
A gift in the hand is worth two in
the postofice.
Many a man gets a girl under the
mistletoe only to find himself, lit.
tie later, under her thumb.
A pound of steak to a poor man is
worth ton of holiday greetings.
