FARMER TO Be ONE
OF DRAFT ADVISERS
Provost Marshal General Gives As
surance Of Safeguard Of
Interest in Labor.

Following adoption Of a resolution
by the federal board of farm or
CARNATIONS, in convention here last
week, requesting the abolition Of non
essential industries for relieving the
labor situation, committees repre-
senting the farmers have been in con-
ference with officials of the various
government departments with view
to making plans to increase produce
ton.
The draft question, which the farm
ers claim is seriously handicapping
them, was discussed at length yes
terday at conference between
Provost Marshal General Crowder and a
draft committee appointed by the
farmers.
Representation on Draft Board.
The farmers declared that the draft
boards throughout the country were
Indifferent toward farm laborers.
Gen. Crowder informed them that in
the future an advisory committee
would sit with each draft board and
on this committee would be a farmer
as well as a representative of labor.
The committee then requested Secre-
tary of Agriculture Houston to ap-
point a practical farmer to serve in
this capacity on each draft board.
Plans are being rapidly completed
for the erection Of a temple as head
quarters of the Federal Board of Farm
Organizations in Washington to cost
about 100000.
Work to Begin With Peace.
ION the first day that peace is de-
clared, if the money has been raised
by that time" said A. A. Gilmore,
president of the Farmers Union of
the state of Washington, 'the corner
stone Of the building will be laid.
Plans will have been completed to the
last detail, the money will be ready
in the federal reserve bank and the
building will be rushed.
'The reason, Of course, that we are
not planning to break ground before
the day Of peace is because all work.
men are needed on the essential war
industries"
Plans are also being made for a
great drive to get the farmers to in
vest in the next liberty. loan and to
contribute their purchases to the
temple.

MELT
HELD At MADISON

Before & few friends on Friday
evening at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
r. B. Griggs, Judge James O'Neill Of
Neillsville discussed the recent meet
ing at Madison, the purpose being to
form a league to enforce peace. Judge
O'Neill attended all the sessions and
banquet, there being many of a ma
tional reputation present. Former
President w. H. Taft presided and
many interesting addresses were Civ
en- bearing on the subjects. Although
attempts have been made in the past
to form such a league, the prevention
of war has never become a reality
At the Madison meeting England,
France, Italy and Japan were repre-
sented. The Frenchman who spoke
lost his grandfather at Sedan in the
war of '70-71 and he was deeply
moved when the news came the city
had fallen to the allies. After the
Germans took Sedan in 20 his mother
and grandmother went upon the field
and found the officer with his head
gone
Although attempts have been made
in the past to form a league to pre-
vent war, the effort has never been
realized. At one time it was suggest
ed this might be done by means of
certain nations having the balance of
power; Again it was thought it would
come with the spread of Christianity.
Both have failed. The plan is now to
form a league between England,
France, Italy, Japan and the United
States, other nations to enter as they
have proven themselves to be worthy.

VISITS OLD HOME:
AFTER AZ YEARS

Mr.. and Mrs. James w. Fay have
returned from a visit in Chicago, Jol-
let and New Orleans. Mr.. Fay lived
in New Orleans in his youth, and had
not been back to the old home for
AZ years. He found but one house
standing in the neighborhood, all of
the others having yielded to the prog
ress of the years. He enjoyed again
visiting the French market, the river
front, the churches, the old GENE
teries and other places of interest in
the city. The relatives and friends Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fay took them to many
interesting points; to the old battle
field, to a sugar refinery and through
the new federal building. Mr.. Fay
says he was much interested in see
top of the post-office building. On
a plantation of $4,000 acres they saw
$4,000 orange trees. From the place
they were shipping pumpkins by the
carload and while the visitors were
there they were planting the third
crop OF potatoes.
At the largest sugar refinery in the
world 10000 tons of sugar cane a
day are used.
While the visitors were in the south
the weather was fine and the flowers
were in bloom.
Since Mr. Fay left New Orleans AZ
years ago a sewer system has been
munity and the old canal has been
replaced by cement boulevard, lined
with flowers and semi-tropical plants.
When Chicago was reached Mr.. Fay
got into the peace celebration crowd
and from 7o'clock until l o'clock he
was pushed along by the noisy throng.

From the Commandment
October "a, 1918.
Dear Madam:
1t recently became my painful duty
to communicate to you the sad intel
iigence concerning the death OF your
son, Earl R. Graham, late Apprentice
Seaman. II. S. N | am now writing
to express to you the appreciation OF
the naval authorities for the excellent
service rendered by your kinsman dur
ing the present emergency.
He had very satisfactory record
in every particular and gave promise
of being a useful and valuable mem
Der of the naval service who would
acquit himself creditably Of any duty
or responsibility with which he might
be intrusted. 1t Isl exceedingly unfor-
tunate that a career of promise should
have met such an untimely end.
Please be assured that | sympathize
with you deeply in the irreparable
loss you have sustained and, in so
saying, | am confident that this ex-
presses the sentiment of all the Off
GERS and men who were associated
with your kinsman during the period
he was under instruction.
1t may be source of satisfaction
and comfort to you to know that this
boy gave his life to his country just as
surely as do men who fall in battle,
and that he is entitled to all honor
and credit for having made this SUI
preme sacrifice.
Very sincerely yours,
w A. Moffett.
Captain, u. S. Navy
Commandant.
