Il r4RMEks WARNED TO HURRY
Useless to Later Make Protest Ii
They Fail to Seize the Opportu-
nifty in Time.

The following statement has been
issued by the United States Employ
ment Service of the Department of
Labor:
"A new draft of about 10000 men
shortly will be called to the colors.
The Provost Marshall General has
ordered that men actively. assidous-
ly. and. completely engaged in the
planting of crop but who are listed
In Class l of the draft and within
the new quota should be deferred
until the end of the new quota
''The local draft boards, being ju-
dicial bodies. can not defer the call
OF such men, however. unless the
farmers employing them support
their claims for such deferred classi-
hcation with affidavits. 1t is therefore
of vital Importance that farmers i'm
mediatel execute and file such afi-
davits with the local boards.
"1f farmers whose hands are af-
fected in this new call fail to follow
this advice. they should have no
cause for complaint if their men are
taken from them at this critical time.
1t will be useless and unreasonable
later to protest if they have done
nothing to retain their help. Imme-
diate action on the part of every far
mer whose employees are affected is
essential and should not be delayed
under any circumstances"

Our 2O,OO0 Battleplanes.
The State.

The State
Some years ago it was, perchance,
we swore that battleplanes for
France would DER the ocean swiftly
Hit, and everyone would make hit
both with Gaul and on the Hun. un-
til the war for man was won-,nak-
ing the Teutons hop and dance. with
10000 planes in France.
Some months elapsed, the war
wore on, and waxed and waned, and
nothing done about the pesky battle
plane. The Liberty Motor" buzzcd
in vain behind somebody's office door
or, bound with red-tape, buZze.i no
more. "Oh, give us time, Our
advance; We'll send 10000 planes
to France."
Another bunch of time was pluck
ed about the White House gtounds
and tucked away for future use. Our
men fought on without the battle
plane. The Huns swooped low, flew
back again, and shot, and bombed,
and gassed our men, who had no
kindly sheltering wings to guard
them from the deadly stings. Then
said Red Tape: by next July 1000
planes in France shall fy,'
Both Congress Houses, in mess,
like Lodge in some vast Wilderness
screamed and yelled for a battle
plane, as a baby yells for his bottle
again. But nary a battleplanc was
found in all the country round and
round.
And Gentle Spring crept on apace.
as Spring will do in every place; and
not plane to the air was given.
But Red Tape yelled and tore the
heaven; Next Summer we'll have
81"
In vain, in vain, our eyes we strain
to see one Liberty battleplane. 1t is
nobody's fault, we know THE visi-
bility is low"

DON'T CASH IN WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS

An appeal has been issued to all w.
s. s. workers in Connecticut by the
State War Savings committee asking
that drastic steps be taken in every
city and t5wn in the state in order to
check the eashing in of war savings
stamps, which practice, according to
accounts, is increasing in several To-
calities State Director Howell Chen
ey authorized the following state
ment:-
There seems to be something of a
run on certain postofices in the
state on the part of citizens to cash
their war savings stamps. This prac-
tiee, which should be stopped at once,
undoubtedly arises from a misappre-
hension as to the date of the maturity
of the stamps. Many, especially those
of foreign birth, have gained the i'm
preston that the 1918 stamps mature
on December 81 of this year This is
entirely wrong, as the date of matur-
ity is January /, 1928.
Every war savings stamp cashed
at the present time now represents a
loss of seventy-seven cents in interest
over the amount which would be Sc
cured if they were held until maturi-
ty- In addition those who cash
stamps unknowingly work an inius-
tice on the resources of Uncle Sam
The Government is required to pay
cash out of its treasury for all stamps
redeemed now, thereby diverting
from the channels which are required
to feed and clothe our soldiers who
yet remain in the service"
