FARM LABOR IS
TO Be SUPPLIED.
Farmers Will be Required to Report Shortage
in Labor to Rural Route Carriers.
Farmers to Get Aid.

Washington, March 14.-The APP
pointment Of Joseph t. Ware, with
headquarters at Memphis as direc-
tor of employment of Tennessee,
marks the inauguration of system
of federal aid to supply the farmers
of the state with the necessary farm
help.
The utilization Of the postoffice
department as clearing house to
furnish farm help is the plan Of the
department of labor to solve the
problem.
Under this plan a farmer who is
short of help can report his trouble
to the rural carrier who brings his
mail The rural carrier will be sup
piled with blanks for the farmer, on
which can be indicated the number
of laborerS required, the wages the
employer is willing to pay and other
information which can be presented
to applicants. These blanks will be
taken to the postmaster, who will
in turn transmit them to Mr. Ware,
the federal director of enjoyment.
If the federal agent has not suf-
ficient labor within the state from
which to draw to supply these requi-
sitions for labor, he will commune
cate with the United States depart
ment of labor, which will have data
to enable it to tap the labor reservoir
in another state to supply Tonnes
see.
Under this system the farmers of
the United States will be supplied
with labor for the coming season
through the largest and most COM
plete organization of public employ
ment offices in the world. The i'm
mediate establishment of chain of
approximately $4,000 branch Off
ces of the United States employ
ment service, covering every agri-
cultural and rural region and touch
ing the gate of every farm, has been
made possible by an agreement be-
tween the department of labor and
the postoffice department, whereby

DIES WHILE DRIV-
ING AUTOMOBILE

East Weakley, March 12.-Mr.
Jerome Mccain, aged SO years, died
last Friday of heart trouble. He had
started to McGee's store in his new
Ford and had only driven a short
distance, when he was suddenly Ia
ken with heart failure and was dead
when a neighbor came along and
found him still sitting in the car.
Mr.. McCain's death was a great
shock to the whole community. His
wife preceded him to the grave about
seven months ago. The remains
were inferred at the old Perry grave
ward, near New Bethel on Saturday.
The bereaved family have the sym
pathy of the entire community.
Mrs. Charlie Owen is reported
right sick of measles and pneumonia.
Pete Atkins, who has been en-
ployed by the Western Union Tele-
graph Co., has been at home for
about two months, recuperating from
the effects of measles. We hear
that he left last week to begin work
again.
Walter Adams has just installed
new telephone. Glad to have him
on the line.
William Gibson is at home from
the army camp. He will return the
last of the week.
The farmers have plowed little
since spring seems to have opened up.
We don't think there will be very
large acreage set to tobacco this
time. All will raise food crops to
Help Hoover in the food conserva-
ton. Nearly everybody is using
plenty of flour substitutes now.
1t is reported that we won't have
any peaches this year, as the buds
were killed back in that zero wealth
err in December and January. At
least this is what Sherman Carson
tells us. If this be the case the
housewives will have to fall back on
blackberries to fill their cans.
We are greatly in need of bridge
over by Buford Dinning's, as the old
one has fallen in the ditch and has
been propped up temporarily until
something better can be done. This
is an old repair job, put up out of
old lumber some four or five years
ago, and is entirely unsafe for trav-

SAVAGE RAIDS BY
PERSH|NG'S MEN
German Lines Penetrated to Depth Of 500
Yards. Foes Flee, Escaping Hand
tGHand Fight.

American initiative has asserted
itself on the Lorraine front in France.
Three savage raids on the German
lines have been made by the Ameri-
cans, who succeeded in reaching the
second line of enemy trenches be-
fore being ordered to deturn. Dur
ing their stay in the German-held
territory they destlI oyed carefully
built defenses and picked up much
war material.
The American artillery ably as
sisted the infantry in the operation
A heavy barrage fire was laid down
in front of the advancing Americans
and the Germans had fled before the
wave Of infantry reached the hos
tile positions. After the Americans
had been in the German trenches for
a few minutes the German barrage
fire was loosened on them, but the
American guns answered shot for
shot and silenced a number of bat
teries. The American artillerymen
used gas shells with good effect.
Near Toul the American heavy guns
have been in action.
Three raids on the British lines
have been attempted by the Germans
in the Armentieres sector, but the
British, in spite of heavy fire from
the enemy's heavy guns, repulsed
the Teutons. The fighting has spread
along the Flanders front, the Ypres
and Passehendaele sectors figuring
in the official reports. The activi-
ties Of the contending armies have
spread further south, encounters near
st. Quentin being mentioned for the
first time in recent weeks.

GOING AFTER A
MODERN ROAD

Road officials were here last week
purchasing two large ditchers for
use on the Discrimination road,
which will be put in Al shape to re-
ceive its proper quota Of auto tax
money for maintenance.
The plan is to build 10 miles OF
good road south from Dukedom,
which will be about to Dawson's
store, and when the road is complet-
ed and accepted it will receive money
for dragging from the auto tax fund
in this county.
The fund is growing by leaps and
bounds, nearly all car owners having
complied with the law by providing
their cars with numbers. However,
it is reported that some have not.
It is also reported that some are
splitting the number plates by attach
ing one each of the set to two differ
ent cars. Up to date there have
been 495 cars registered in this
county. During February the sum
paid here as auto tax was S1,3O6.68,
and in March it was $1,670.91.

PRESIDENTS MES
SAGE TO RUSSIA
Urges Russians to Reject Peace. United
States Pledged to Aid SIsT to De-
feat AutOCTaCY.

Washington, March 11.-On the
eve of the gathering at Moscow Of
the Russian congress of Soviets, that
is to pass judgment on the German
made peace accepted by the Bolshev-
Xxi at Brest- Litovsk, President Wilson
has sent message of sympathy to
the Russian people, through the con-
gress, with a pledge that the United
States will avail itself of every OPP
portunity to aid them in driving out
autocracy and restoring Russia to
her place in the world with complete
sovereignty and independence.
The United States now recognizes
no government in Russia, but the
President cables his message to the
American consul at Moscow for de-
livery tomorrow to the congress,
which is made up of soldiers and
working mems Representatives, and
speaks for at least considerable
part of the Russian people.
The message, made public tonight
by the State Department, was as fol
lows:
May / not take advantage of
the congress of the Soviets to
express the sincere sympathy
which the people Of the United
States feel for the Russian peo-
pie at this moment, when the
German power has been thrust
in to interrupt and turn back
the whole struggle for freedom
and substitute the wishes of Ger
many for the purpose of the peo-
pie of Russia? Although the
government of the United States
is, unhappily, not now in a po-
sition to render the direct and
effective aid it would wish to
render, l beg to assure the peo-
pie of Russia, through the con-
gress, that it will avail itself of
every opportunity to secure for,
Russia once more complete SOW
ereignty and independence in
her own affairs and full resto-
ration to her great role in the
life of Europe and the modern
world. The whole heart of the
people of the United States is
with the people of Russia in the
attempt to free themselves for
ever from autocratic govern
ment and become the masters
of their own life.

all third and fourth class postmas-
tiers and rural carriers are to be APP
pointed as labor agents of the United
States Employment Service.
Together with the 1000 agents of
the department Of agriculture, who
are available for similar use, these
new agents of the employment SER
vice comprise force of 100000 per-
sons, while the postoffices concerned,
numbering 54,997, are equivalent to
that many employment offices.
Postmaster General Burleson not
only has agreed to the use of postal
employees for the work of modifying
and supplying farm labor, but has
promised the fullest cooperation
with the department of labor and the
employment service.
The new system Of providing farm
help will be especially welcomed in
Tennessee, where the many large
government projects will make de-
mands of an unprecedented nature
on the labor markets Of the state.
In fact, it is only through the opera
ton Of a system Of this character
that Tennessee, and especially Mid
die Tennessee, can be saved from
the most serious labor shortage in
its history. Such a depletion Of the
farm labor would not only greatly
inconvenience and embarrass the
farmers Of the state, but would Sc
riously interfere with the material
of the commonwealth.
This new labor supplying machin-
cry win serve more than 50 per
cent of the population Of the United
States, and viii enable every Ameri-
can farmer to obtain sufficient la
Dor for the production Of the bump
er crops necessary, provided he uses
this machinery. He can either APP
ply directly at the nearest postoffice
for help or make his application
through the rural carrier whose route
begins with that office.

MOVEMENT Of
SELECTED MEN
Men viii be Supplied to Enable Gen. Per-
shing to Hold 100 Miles Of
Trenches. March e

Washington, March 13.-Eight
hundred thousand men are to be
called to the colors gradually during
the present year under the second
army draft, which begins ON March
20.
An announcement today by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder of the
number to be called was followed
closely by an order for the mobili-
cation of $4,000 men during the five
day period beginning March 20,
some $4,000 of them to be assembled
under the second draft. Eighty
thousand will be men of the first
drSft of $4,000 not yet summoned
into service.
Details Of how the second draft
will be applied will be made public
later, after congress has acted on
proposed legislation providing for the
registration of youths attaining the
age of 81 years and for basing state
and district quotas on the number
of registrants in Class l. In his
first official statement on the SUBJ
ject, however, General Crowder as
sures the country that no sweeping
withdrawal of large numbers of men
at one time is contemplated, and that.
care will be taken to avoid interior
ance with harvesting,
The95,000 men now called, it is
understood, are needed at once to
fill up divisions and other units
scheduled for early departure or to
take the place of men transferred
from other divisions to make up such
deficiencies. Newly organized reg
ular divisions are particularly short
of men and heavy drafts on National
army divisions to make these good
have been necessary, seriously inter
fering with the training work of the
national army divisions drawn upon.
The call for new men makes it prob
able that no further transfers will be
necessary.
Men in deferred classificatiOns,
the provost marshal general amour
ced, would be called in small numbers
as we'll as men in Class / for the pur-
pose of utilizing certain technical
qualifications or sending them to
schools to acquire such qualifica-
tons.
The provost marshal general makes
the definite statement, however, that
there will be no sudden withdrawal
of great numbers Of men from indus
try and agriculture during the com
ing summer, but that they will be
drawn in relatively small groups,
spread throughout the year. To
give the exact numbers, he says,
would be to give the enemy military
information.
Whenever a>y registrant, whose
call to the colors has been deferred
by reason of his engagement in ag-
ricuIture, is shown to have been idle
on the farm on which he has been
engaged or to have trifled with the
deferment that has been accorded
him, the boards will forthwith induct
him into military service if his order
number has been reached in the mean
time. The effect of this expedient
is to grant furloughs from service
prior to actual call to the colors to
the men so greatly needed in the pro-
duction of this years crop.
Tennessee will be asked to fur
nish $3.50 men for the second call.

DEPARTMENT OF FOOD CONSERVATION
Conducted By Mrs Bertha s Green Chairman Food Conservation
Committee, Womans Council of Defense

If you have lost food which you
canned by the cold-pack method read
the following taken from the last
bulletin of the State Director of
Home Economics:
Let me call your attention to a
caution to be remembered in canning
fruits and vegetables by the cold
pack method. The recipes in the
government bulletins are based upon
an altitude from sea lever to 1000
feet and upon the use of the quart
jar or container. If using smaller
jars reduce the time a trife; II using
larger jars increase the time. For
altitude above 1000 feet the time of
sterilization should be increased at
the rate of ten per cent for each 500
feet. wish you would give general
publicity to this matter"
