SAWS HIDDEN in
THEIR SHOES
Auto Thieves Fool, Officers, But
Are Caught Before Damage
Is DoRe-Brought Here to
Jail From New Jersey.

John A. Warner and Lucas Cox
the two thieves who stoled the car of
L. c. Bowen and committed 9th, i
thefts III Tazewell several weeks nro
are in Jail here. They were brought
here by Special officer l.. Rutherford
of the Baldwin-Fclts Agency. from
Elizabeth, N. j. Monday.
Mr.. Bowen returned with the crr
last Thursday night, coming by way
of Washington. The car was found
IN good shape, excepting that. all the
tools and accessories had been sold.
The spcedomcter showed thu the two
men had driven the IIup several hun
drcd miles more than was necessary
to reach the point where they were
captured.
The capture of the two men in
Elizabeth was purely accidental. A
policeman on his bent noticed the two
men in the lIup car and stopped them
and arrested them and charged them
with stealing the car, which they
promptly confessed to.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
men were thoroughly searched before
being placed in Jail, another search
was made Tuesday and two saws,
the kind usually used by robbers,
were found on them. Extra precnu-
tions will be taken to hold the men
until court.
The two men, Warner and Cox cx-
planned to commemorative Attorney
llnrman Wednesday how they manng.
cd to smugg!e the saws to Tazcwcll.
1t seems that in New Jersey prison
crs are required to wear prison
clothes. When they were being pre-
pared for the trip tn Tazewtl. one Of
the men managed To smugglc II saw
and hide it in his shoe. The Com
monwealth's Attorney decided to give
the men another examination We'd
ncsday and made the discovery Tint
the men had the saws. The men
have not yet confessed to the theft
of the car here, but il is believed that
they soon will make confession of
the whole affair.

SOW TURNIPS.
ccSsili'y.

Have you sowcd your patch of tur-
nps for winter? If not, do so at
once--not too late if sown in good,
well prepared ground. Last spring
and during the late winter turnips
brought $l.50 bushcl. The cows
will enjoy an occasional feed Of tur-
nps this winter along with their hay
and fodder. Some people say that
turnips fed to milk cows taint the
milk with flavor of turnips. If SO,
(Which is not perhaps the case), feed
the turnips after milking.
Pork and turnips make mighty fine
catin' for folks in tho winter time as
well. Don't neglect the turnip patch.
"Thc moon is just right" now, if you
still believe in the old superstition
that the moon has to do with growing
plants.

CAN ALL YOU CAN CAN.

May the housewife put up an un-
limited supply of canned goods and
not be accused of boarding?
This question will arise perhaps in
the mind of the housekccpcr whose
back door looks out on large and
fruitful war garden and whose pnn-
try shelves are lined with shining,
mpty glass jars.
In response to this question tn,
Food Administration urges every
housewife to can as much foodstuffs
as is possible for home consumption
during the Winter. Just how much
this will be is left for each housewife
to decide, but the maximum amount
for family of five is usually consi-
dered TO be three quarts of fruit and
five quarts of vegetables for every
week OF the canned goods season.
This amount would supply family
of five during the Winter without
the need Of buying single can of
foodstuffs from store, and this
must be the aim of all patriotic
housewives this year in order to save
all the factory canned goods for
soldiers and sailors.
Two out of the five quarts Of veg
etables for every weeks consumption
should be tomatoes, for no other veg
etables can be used in such variety
of ways.
If it seems advisable in individual
cases to put up more than year ),
supply, the Food Administration car
have no objection, but cautions the
Gamer that there may be spoilage
and loss if the preserved foods have
to be held for long period of time
In any case it would be very un-
wise to stint your summer consump.
tion of fresh garden produce in order
to save enough to can for a two
years supply.
The body should have fresh fruit
and vegetables in abundance in the
summer, for they furnish much
needed mineral salts, and some veg
cables give fuel and protein, too
But there is another reason VIII!
every one should eat freely of gardel
produce this season, more freely, il
fact, thean ever before, for the NOR
vegetables and fruit we eat the les
meat, bread, and sugar we need. |
is essentian as everybody knows, L
save as much as possible of thes
foods for our fighters fof liberty.
The best answer, then, to the ques
ton, GLOW much shall | can?" i
"Can enough garden produce for a
ample supply of vegetables and frui
kfor your family, but do not stin
your summer consumption of gar
den produce in order to can NOR
then one years. supply. Eat veg
etables and fruit this summer NOR
freely than ever before. Don't re
| gard them as side dishes. Make theI

PRAYER FOR OUR SOLDIERS
w. c. T. u. and Mayor Call on
People to ask Divine aid at II
o'clock Each Day.

Through the efforts of the Taze-
we'll Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, each day at twelve o'clock
one of the church bells will ring for
two minutes, calling the people to
prayer in behalf of our soldiers and
sailors and our nation, and that God
will guide them on to victory and
peace. 1t has been arranged for the
Boy Scouts to ring the bell each day
at twelve o'clock. 1t is hoped when
the bell sounds, every man, woman
and child will give moment of time
to lift their heart in prayer.
1t is expected that all business will
cease during the two minutes the
bell rings. The call is for every one
to stop these two minutes and breath
prayer for our soldiers and sail
ors, on land, on sea, in the trenches
and hospitals, for their welfare and
for victory and peace.
Would it not wonderfully inspire
and encourage our boys if they knew
that at stated hour the people at
home were lifting their hearts IN
prayer in their behalf?
1t is great and inspiring thought
and worthy of our most serious atten-
tion and encouragement.

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas, the cause for which
American men are today giving their
lives on the battlefield is a righteous
cause and has for its object the pre-
servation of all that is best in civil
ization and the triumph of the prin-
ciples of right and justice over unho-
ly greed and lawless ambition; and
Whereas, there is in the people of
this community an abiding faith in
the efficacy of prayer and sincere
conviction that we can with divine
approval invoke the blessing of God
upon American arms and ask his
guidance and help in the struggle
in which we are engaged,
Therefore, the people of this COM
munity should keep in mind the pres
ence in all things of Him withou,
whose aid victory cannot be achieved
and to this end, at twelve O'Clock
noon of each day a church bell will
be rung by the Boy Scouts and al
the sound of the bell every man, wo.
man and child is expected to pause
wherever he may be and in whatever
he may be engaged, and for one min
ute turn his heart to God and pray
that He will strengthen and protect
the men who bear aloft our flag ant
that He will grant to our arms vic
tory that will bring to the world a,
enduring peace.

Washington, July 31.-In accord
ance with the pre-arranged plan for
the navy to take over control of all

by the available facilities for hand
ling at the naval training stations.
+ After undergoing few weeks in
tensive training the men will be Or
ganized into crews which will be util-
lied to replace the civilian sailors
now manning the troop and supply
ships and for the vessels that are
constantly being turned over to the
navy under its own construction pro
gram.
To hasten the process of transfer
ing the military tonnage, heads of
the various departmental bureaus
have inaugurated strict canvass of
the men on shore duty in their or
ganizations to determine how many
can be spared for service with the
ships and troops.
AT marine corps headquarters or
ders have been issued to detach every
man whose place can be filed by n
woman. The men will be sent to one
of the crops stations for duty with
Il unit.
Similarly, Rear-Admiral MCGOWAN,

COUNTY NJ. DIS REGISTER
TaZeweil Physicians Met ycster-
day and offered service to
Uncle Sam.

With only three or four absentccs.
the physicians of the county met
here on yesterday to register for
army service.
The doctors from every county and
city have been called to register The
age maximum limit is 55 years.
So far as the age is concerned
nearly all the physicians of the
county are eligible. There are some
few exceptions. "Thc heulcrs of
bodily inirmities," like all other
registrants, have the privilege of
claiming exemption, and special
blank was furnished for the purpose.
AS we understand il, the physician
will be called TO some convenient
point for examination by an army
surgeon. Among those registering on
yesterday were three colorcd physi-
clans. Some OF the doctors expressed
themselves as anxious to enlist.
Others, entirely willing if Uncle
Sam wants me-"
DR.. IIaller, the well known ply
slcian of Pocahontas, raised the point
of frank" of physician in the army.
lie said, "the man who signs that
blank has no more standing than a
rabbit" He was reminded that the
blank was the same as was signed
by men entering the army, rank and
promotion depending upon circum-
stances entirely within the control
of the soldier himself. 1t was also
stated that physicians started with
the rank of Lieutenant DR.. j. Wal
ter Wittcn, North Tazewcll physician
now in the army, ranks Captain.
"What will become of my job ?" Was
another question which seemed to
weigh with somo Of the doctors. DR..
w. Il. Williams of Richlands, said "If
| am called and anybody wants my
job they can get it, and are welcome
to it," The impression is not sought
to be made here that the doctors
were Kicking" They are loyal
set of men, and will "obey orders
cheerfully, only, some of them, nota-
bly, DR.. j. p. Haller, of Pocahontas
did not like the conditions imposed by
the blank to be signed, and said so
and it is understood, refused to sign
Further explanation cannot be Civ
en- here, owing to latcness of the
: hour.
The doctors who registered for ser
vice are sa follows:

more loosely knit, as this sweater
measures only scant seventeen
inches across (not stretched) and it
should be from seventeen to twenty
inches. The neck was SO tight that
| ripped out the crochet to see where
the fault lay, as the stretched neck
only measured ten inches. The fault
was in the crocheting, although I do
think the binding off at the neck is
done rather too tightly. You will see
it is not as loose as on the casting
on side, not SO elastic, and binds
somewhat. Please be sure that the
crocheting is loosely done. The neck

lows:
Dear Miss Gillespie:
Your sweaters have arrived. Ono
is not right. The other one marked
No. 1, is nearly right; that is, the
method of construction is right, but
the dimensions are wrong.
The purling is correct, three inch
es; but the plain knitting should be
ten inches. Yours measures 8 inches
From the beginning of the armhole
to the place "knit across and back
eight times" should measure eight
inches; yours measures seven inches.
Consequently, from your center neck

and it should be twenty-five inches.
