Let's greet the young Canadian
with large audience Friday night
of next week, thus showing our pa
triotic interest in the cause Of the
Allies. A small audience will lead
him to believe that we are apathetlc
and lack interest in the war.
On account of the severe weather
in December and January, there is
more scattering cotton in the
fields than usual at this season.
The prevailing price will cause
every lock to be picked as soon as
the weather is favorable.
Mrs. G. w. DeLoach now occu-
pies the residence on Columbia
street which she recently purchased
from Mrs. S. A. Morrall and Mr..
and Mrs. P. P. Blalock, Jr., will
move into the brick residence near
the Methodist church from which
Mrs, DeLoach moved.
The lyceum entertainment Friday
night of next week will be the most
thrilling and most interesting ever
given in Edgefeld. A brave young
Canadian soldier will bring the
trench warfare to us. This learn
ing of actual conditions by proxy is
the only way that most of US want
to learn.
The beautiful sunshine of this
morning is infusing new life into
everything and everybody. The
man who has grown lazy during
the long period of Information is
stretching his limbs and feels the
blood circulating again. If this
favorable weather continues, there
will not only be something doing"
but something done in every line
of business.

Classification Completed.

The local board has completed
the classification of all question
naires that have been returned.
Some of the colored registrants who
have not yet received questionnaires
are being located every day. The
board appreciates the cooperation
which has been given by number
of citizens over the county in loca-
ting registrants who seldom receive
mail, and for that reason cannot be
located by the mail carriers. Up
to this time, not including the ques-
tionnaires that have not been deliv-
cred to registrants, the board has
placed about 400 registrants in class
one, this being about so per cent.
These men will be examined next
week. Examinations were COM
meaced last Friday, but owing to
the issuing of new regulations for
the physical examination, General
Crowder telegraphed the local
boards to hold up on the eXamina-
tions until the new regulations were
received. The men who were Doti-
fed to appear for examination last
Monday will report next Monday;
those who were notified to report
to-day will report next Wednesday,
and those who have been notified to
report Friday of this week for ex.
animation will report Friday Of
next week. Other registrants will
be ordered to report Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday of next
week also, which will enable the
board to examine all Of the men in
Glass l next week.
The remainder of the present
quota will be ordered out during
the five days following February
%. 1t has not been announced
what day Edgeield will mobilize
men for Camp Jackson. This
county is yet due l02 colored men
on its first quota. The local board
had this number of men ready for
mobilization in October, but they
were, never ordered out. The men
will receive notice what day to re-
port for mobilization.

TOOK ACID IRON MINERAL

Il had almost despaired of ever

who at last found relief, Mrs. Lula
Lee Morris, of Elizabeth City, wife
of a we'll known veterinarian
there.
Thousands of women drag about
listless, lacking life and vitality. all
because their digestion isn't good
and they get no strength from the
food and things they eat. To gain
relief, read what she says.
Il despaired of being relieved. l

The above tribute TO this remark

False Impression Corrected.

Some persons are under the i'm
preston that registrant who has a
wife and children should not be
given deferred classification by a
local board if a relative will con-
tribute to the support of the depen'
dents should the registrant be
drafted for military service. The
regulations plainly state that case
of dependent wife and children
support from other sources should
NOT be considered.

PREPARE FOR SOWING
Secretary Mohler Urges Kansas Farm
ers to Begin Fall Wheat Work.

Western Kansas farmers are urged
to>prepare their ground for fall wheat
sowing in a message received at the
state board of agriculture offices to-
day from j. c. Mohler. secretary
Mohler is now in Washington with
delegation from the state board of ag-
riculture. The board will seek federal
aid in seed planting.
Early passage of bill providing for
federal aid for wheat growers will be
urged by the committee from Kansas
If this method fails, other avenues of
relief will be opened, Mohler declared.
State aid is believed to be a possibility,
altho there is serious doubt concerning
the constitutionality nf any measure
providing funds for state or county
benefits. Mohler, however, is conf
dent and has urged that a campaign
be launched Immediately to prepare
all wheat land for fall sowing.
Reports were sent to the board to-
day from several nort' west Kansas
counties announcing that a number of
Sixth district counties are not in need
OF outside assistance. Excellent
wheat conditions exist in Cheyenne,
Rawlins, Dectur. Sherman and Thorn
as counties, the report stated.

before winging a pigeon in flight.
Countless numbers of homing or rae
ing pigeons, known as flying homers.
are in great demand by the signal
corps of the army. and pigeon raisers
are urged to give special attention to
this breed. The pigeon section of the
signal corps buys mature homers hav-

them and trains the young. As the
homing instinct OF the old birds is
established, only the young birds can
be used for military communication.
They are said to be the surest means
of conveying word across the battle
