National War Savings Day Must be
Made Big Success.
The National War Savings
Committee, which is carrying on
through its State and local COM
mittees, a Nationwide campaign
to get all the people on or before
June % to pledge themselves to
save to the utmost of their ability
and to buy War Savings Stamps
with their savings, has given out
the following statement:
Those of us who remain at
home while others do the fight
have an ever-increasing number
Of opportunities to do definite
and highly important work for
oqr eolnt Y Nish fQdo this
work IS an expression OF the
gratitude we feel in being privi-
legged to continue at our usual
tasks. to enjoy the loving COM
partnership of our families, to
meet freely with our friends and
neighbors. to enjoy all the securi-
ty of life and most pleasures and
the economic privileges of peace
times while other men, who have
had to put aside all these things,
are fighting our battles for us on
the sacred soil of France and on
the high seas.
"Our new opportunity to serve
comes as a result of designating
June % as National War Savings
Day. a day on which all men and
women and all children Of suf-
ficient years to appreciate the
days significance are called upon
to pledge themselves to save the
utmost of their ability and to
conserve all possible labor ma
rerials for the Government, and
to buy War Savings Stamps with
their savings. Our part is to do
everything possible to make this
day stand out among the great
days of this period of the war.
Gould any one of US be asked
to do less than this? Could any
one of US refuse to do a little
thing to win q war for the worlds
freedom? Could anyone of US
put aside this plea for saving
while all Europe is crying out in
its agony to be released from
the clutches of the monster that
is befouling all it touches? Could
we refuse so simple a thing and
at the same time ask other men
to give their lives that our own
precious lives be spared and our
iresides be kept safe from the
torrors of the Hun?
''Our duty is clear, our privi-
lege is great, our sacrifice is
little. our work important.

The Grant parish local exemp-

instructions in regard to the re-
cent order issued by the provost
marshal general. giving local
boards the right and power to
re-classify any man within the
draft age, who may be engaged
in a non-productive occupation.
The new regulations, which
are amendments to the selective

Another section of the law
provides that whenever, after

lations: 4
In the present emergency it,
is not possible to extend the pro-
lection of deferred classification
to those registrants engaged in |
certain occupations or employ
ments which are non-productive.
There is a great demand for
labor in ali productive occupa-
tons and employments, and es-
peciall in agriculture and other
necessary industries. Therefore,
registrants who have been given
deferred classification and who
can engage in some productive
occupation or employment with
out substantial financial loss or |
hardship to themselves or others, |
should be willing to seek some
productive occupation or employ
ment, or enter the military SER
vice, rather than remain in an
occupation or employment in
which they are rendering no eff

IF a registrant is idle, he, of |
course, is not occupied or employ
ed at all, and his status of idle
ness furnishes ground for the

THREE-YEAR PROGRAM

The farm development bureau of the
Chamber OF Commerce will not only be
continued, but will be r~eorganized on
the basis of a three-year program.
Funds for this purpose will be raised
through the directors Of the Chamber

ties and scope Of tho bureau VIII be
outlined by a committee composed of
men thoroughly interested In seeing 1t
on the most effective basis possible,
This was decided at the meeting OF
the bureau Tuesday afternoon, attend
ed by the directors OF the Chamber Of
Commerce and the Tri-state fair, as
well as by nan other prominent busi-
ness men OF Memphis who are interest
ed in the work of this organization, and
who are anxious to see II continue oper-
atoms because of what 1t has done in
the way OF stimulating food production,
agricultural development and live stock
raising.
The report submitted by Charles ],
Haase. chairman Of the bureau, showed
n deficit of about $1,000 for the past
three years. Discussion and criticism OF
a constructive character followed this
report and resolutions were adopted
pledging the support OF every man pres
| cnt. Practically the only criticism was
that supporters OF the bureau had not
been quito as active and aggressive as
they should have been, thus handicap
ping the organization in Its work,
The committee which will plan for the
future OF the bureau is composed of the
following. A. r, Jennings, l., X. Sails

HIGHWAY COMMISSION
ON ROAD WORK PATROL

The State Highway Commission has
issued statement declaring that it
does not seem that any fair minded
man after thinking it over should wish
to put this matter of hiring a patrol
man for road work to the vote of the
town and make it political issue.
1--WE began shaping up the patrol
work late last fall knowing that there
was scarcity of labor, and we also
realized that it would be more so this
year so we felt as though we must
notify men early in the season in order
to obtain their services as patrolmen,
say the commissioners. I'VE began
hiring patrolmen by letter on the first
of February, and we have the places
nearly filled all over the State
THE patrol maintenance law states
that the expenditure Of the money shall
be directed and administered by the
State Highway Commission, and
therefore we feel that it is our duty to
provide ways and means for doing this
work. We fail to find any wording in
the patrol maintenance law whereby
the raising Of money, the hiring of
patromen or voting on the matter in
any way shall be taken up at the an
nual town meeting. The law states
that the amount due from the town
shall be taken from the towns appro-
priation for roads and bridges and paid
into the State treasury prior to the first

Wood and Coal

The fuel question has become seri-
Gus one for Supt. of Public Buildings
Charles S. Brown, but single half ton
being on hand last night in the State
House building.
Mr.. Brown has had an eye to the fu-
ture i4 this line and some of the results
were apparent Friday, when eight
teams began hauling green cord wood
to the State House grounds and piling
il on the large lot south of the building
and next to the tennis court. The haul
ing Of that day alone made a good
showing and it is handsome wood.
Superintendent Brown some time ago
decided that wood was a good thing to
have on hand and, having chance to
buy a quantity, closed the deal with
Henry s. Cummings Of Manchester for
from 300 to 500 cords of birch, maple,
ash and oak, cut from trees not less
than three inches at the top, split once
and piled bark up. 1t is a handsome
lot of wood.
