Immediately upon leaving such mill

charge"
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
urging young men to study the draft
regulations, today issued the follow
ing statement:
at should be clearly understood
that registration is public duty. 1t
is distinct from selective service, in
tLat it is merely preliminary to the
later process of selection. For failure
to perform their duty Congress have
provided a penalty of imprisonment

induction into military service.
"No delinquent can be excused for

forgot or did not realize his duty. The
burden is on him and on him alone to
perform that duty and he alone is re-

Youthful French Orator Seemed to Think lafayette Was

What is the attitude of the French

A PLEA.

Our attention has been called to the
fact that some person or persons have
so far forgotten themselves and the
respect which should be accorded to
/ the dead that they have willfully
desecrated the graveyard and broken
the flowers and other evidence of the
loving membranes of friends left
behind
Brethren, such things ought not so
to be. Even the heather Saxons desig-
mated the plot set aside for their dead
as Goods Acre" and it seems as
though some of us in this so called
enlightened age have been very
negligent in the training of our chill
dren when they show such evidences
of dsrepect for the dead as to plum
der the very sod beneath which they
rest in their last long sleep.
Nearly all of US have some friend or
relative who rests in this city of the
dead. Nearly all of us have stood
with uncovered head while some loved
one was lowered beneath the earth to
rest until the last trumpet should
sound and the mystery of God should
be finished Nearly all of US, brethren
have walked away from this place
with a great awe in our hearts at the
mysterious works of an Almighty
God.
Does it please you then, brethren,
that this place of so many hallowed
associations should thus be the sport
of children? Do you look with favor
upon the desecration of this spot of
ground which should only be passed
with silent respect? Are your feelings
so far dulled that you stand silently
by and do not even say them nay?
The sole cause of this evil among
you is thoughtlessness. Thoughtles-
ness is an inexcusable crime. We say
crime because the results of this evil
are so far reaching and so varied in
their consequences that the devil has
recourse to it as one of the chief
means of our undoing. You have seen
men ruined through drunkenness, you
have beheld families estranged
through trivial MISUNDERSTANDING,
you have watched many a gray-haired
father and mother come down in sor-
row to their graves and you have seen
the sacred resting place of the dead
disturbed by sacreligious hands.
All these evils are caused by
thoughtlesness. Then let us diligently
strive to put away this evil from a.
mong us. Let US examine these
things in an inquiring spirit and when
we have uncovered the source of this
evil let us not be sparing of our con-
demnation of that which reflects upon
our decency as a neighborhood and
our individual christianity. We have
been called the salt of the earth. "And
with shall the food be seasoned %
with shall the food be seasoned?
Watch, therefore, and strive, that
this evil may be put away from US and
that the dead, at least, may be safe
from the hands that pluck up and
destroy

the thing desired is ripened bolls. The
greater number of these boIls that
can be secured the more profitable
the crop. A small stalk well filled
with matured bolls is much more
profitable than a large stalk with
fewer bolls that mature. Under boil
weevil conditions especially it is de-
sired to get the boIis to mature as
early in the season as it is possible to
bring them to maturity. This result
has been secured in a number of cases
by late thinning and close spacing of
the cotton.
The vegetative branches of the cot
ton plant grow out near the bottom
of the plant and produce the stalk
portion of the plant. When this is
produced the fruiting branches of the
plant are then set and the crop is
borne. By late thinning and close
spacing, the production of the vege-
tative branches Is Kept back and the
fruItIng branches are set early IN the
season and all along the plant. The
bolls are borne in greater number and
since they are exposed more and are
set earlier the crop sobtained at an
earlier date.
This work would be in a measure
experimental under our conditions, but
it is hoped that number of men will
try this on certain plots or rows
checking the yields on these rows "a
gainst those that are thinned early
and spaced rather widely.

SAVIOURS
BY ANGELA MORGAN

Yours is the daring skill to tread
The waters of world at war;
Yours is the miracle to shed
Where rocking seas of hatred are,
Courage and comfort, like a star
You cry unto an earth dismayed,
And God is thrilling in your tone:
Brothers, the ship is not alone;
Be not afraid -
Ye are the Christs of this black hour.
The Great Physician come again,
Within your sacred hands the power
To heal the race of men.
Ye hold the hurt world to your breast;
Ye bind her bruised and broken soul;
The sick, the manned and the oppressed
Yours is the gift to make them whole.
And where the stricken miles unroll
Ye sound the resurrection morn;
Above the bier where Justice lies,
With visions of an age new born,
Ye bid the dead arisei
o World, that walkest now in tears
Where Truth again is eruciied
After the thousand, thousand years
See yet that Christ is not denied

PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN.

Every man should protect himself
and his family against the mosquito
which IS known to carry malaria. One
of the best ways to do this is to
destroy all tie breeding places by
draining all stagaant places possible
and by screening the house.
Il vii pay anyone to buy screening
on credit, if necessary, and do this
work the right way.
Be sure to scree all the doors and
windows and the porch you sit on in
the evening. Do not forget the chm
nay and fireplace. Screens will not
only afford the entire family great
deal Of comfort bat you will find them
cheaper than doctor bill.

TRY THE SELF-FEEDER
FOR THE HOGS

Goh L III II GoGo.
Let the pig balance his own ration.
The self-feeder is a special device so
constructed that the necessary feeds
for hog may be placed before him
as he consumes them. 1t is easily and
cheaply constructed, and have the fol-
lowing advantages:
l. 1t saves labor thus reducing the
cost of this in computing the cost Of
the hog.
,. It lessons the amount of feed to
produce 100 pounds of gain since the
nearest to natural conditions.
3. 1t makes the hog put on gains
much faster. He gets just what he
needs when he needs it.
4. The hog balances his own ration.
Ask the County Agent about this
self-feeder, get plans for its construc-
ton and try it on your hogs that are
being fed for market and on the
breeding ANIMALS aIso.

PRODUCE CHEAPER PORK
BY RAISING MORE FORAG

No man can make a profit on hogs
by feeding grain alone. A bushel of
corn produces only ten pounds of
pork. To just break even on $500 a
bushel corn it would be necessary to
market the hog at zoe per pound at
horne. Fortunately, however, pork
production can be cheapened from
one-fourth to one-half by use of
forage crops. A variety of good forage
crops can yet be planted this spring,
such as soy beans, cowpeas, sorghum
and peanuts. Every man who has not
already started his spring planting of
forage crops should do so at once, in
orde. to obtain grazing for his hogs
as early as possible. Forage crops
will not only cheaper production but
will also allow one to grow the av-
erage hogs to a greater weight.
Remember that cowpca hay well
cured is about equal in feeding value
to wheat bran. 1t is good for work
stock, for beef or milk production, and
makes a good winter feed for the old
brood sows when fed along with some
grain. The cowpea makes excellent
pasture for the fattening of hogs.
Now is the time to plant this crop on
all warrant spaces about the farm and
on the stubble lands.
The roots and stubble of the cow
pea crop contains about Is per cent of
the total matter of the plant and is
left in the soil when the plant is cut
for hay When the hay is fed on the
farm all of the 60 to 80 pounds of
Nitrogen that is contained in the
crop of peas grown on an acre of
ground is fed to the soil. Most of
this drawn directly from the air.
Plant cowpeas now and make ar
rangements for the feeding of next
