The Country Woman's Club held
most enjoyable and instructive
all-day meeting at the Rest Rooms
in this city last Wednesday. Miss
Mcclure lectured in the morning
and in the afternoon Mrs. HARRISON,
of the Agricultural Department of
the University of Kentucky was
present and delivered an extended
lecture on the Selection of the
Different Cuts of Meat and Their
Preparation" Her lecture was ac-
eompanied by actual cutting demon
strations by Mr.. Daniel Boone,
cutter from the Sanitary Meat Co.
Mr.. S. S. Pinney, local chairman
of the Food Administration was
present and spoke briefly of the
purposes and intents of the govern
ment in the conservation of food
stuffs. At the business meeting of
the club, it was decided to devote
all but two hours of the all7day
monthly meetings, in the future, to
war work, and to cooperate with
the local Red Cross in sewing,
knitting and the making of surgical
dressings. The club pledged them
selves to furnish ten complete sets
of knitted garments and appointed
Mrs. Frank P. Boyd, Chairman of
the Surgical Dressings Dept; Mrs.
Jas. Hutsell, Chairman of the Sew
ing Dept, and Miss Ada Henry,
Chairman of the Knitting Dept.
The club further federated with
the State Federation of Woman's
Clubs and will work in conjunction
with the State body.
Arrangements were also begun
for a full two days session, the
dates for which have not yet been
set, during which leading experts
from the various departments of
the Agricultural and Home Eco
Monies departments of the Univer-
sity of Kentucky will be present
and lecture on important topics.
1t has further been arranged to
have an expert and scientific vege-
table and market gardeners come
here for at least two weeks in
March to teach the women of the
county the most successful methods
of gardening in order to reap the
greatest benefit Members of the
club will donate quarter plots
to persons who will agree to plant
and care for gardens thereon. The
Country Woman's Club is doing
great work in this community and
deserves the encouragement and
hearty cooperation of all.

GEN. CROWDER DEFINES
FIGHT OR WORK LAW
Only Applies to Men of Draft
Age, He Explains: State Laws,
However, Differ.
D, Ass ,.attd Press to Every Evening

B4 Ass lated Press to Every Evening
Washington, July , Commenting on
the New York Work or fight regulations,
which went into effect yesterday. Provost
Marshal General Crowder emphasized
to-day that the order does not affect men
outside of draft ages Several COM
munities apparently have confused 1T
with anti-loafing laws in some states.
General Crowder explained that the
work or fight order is purely a military
step and that regulations regarding en-
plovlnent or military service for unregts-
tered men are not embraced IN his func-
tions The only effect the order has upon
persons not subject 20 draft, is that II
offers them more opportunities Of en-
plovment Places vacated by men liable
10 draft necessarily are left open for men
outside Of the draft ne explained OF the
service performed by men who leave non
essential pursuits to take up essential
work. General Crowder said;
The army and navy are taking the
men who are best able physically to do
the fighting. But that IS only one part
of the national task imposed by the war
The other part the part that falls on the
other men, is TO set free these men who are
70 do the fighting Every man who helps
TO set free lighting man II helping 10
fight and WIN the war
Vow manN OF the men OF draft age
IN deferred classes two, three and four
deferred that u. on grounds Of depend
ency are not engaged IN effective indus
rries
THE spectacle is not satisfactory
one of a contingent of drafted men from
class one. being marched down the street
10 camp, while other men of their own
age, watching them from the windows,
remain behind to sell cigarettes or dis
pense OF soda fountain drinks, solely be
cause they have received deferInent on
grounds Of dependency
''lf these men OF the same age are 10
stav behind, let them at least get into
work more effective 10 help the war
Their deferment takes them out OF mil
itary service, and vet serves no economic
war purpose whatsoever. They are of
military age and, therefore have the pri-
mary duty 10 do war work. If their de-
pendency gives them deferment from i'm
mediate military war work, let them al
least do something economically useful
TO maintain the nation 5 welfare while
at war. They should get into some
useful and effective occupations or else
forfeit their daerment from military
service The alternative is q fair one.
