WOMEN FOR FARMS
WILL BE ENROLLED
National Registration Planned to
Meet Labor Shortage During The
Coming Season.

Washington, Jan. educational
registration OF women available for
work on farms is planned by the De-
partment of Labor as one~4f the ad-
vance steps in Il campaign to procure
a sufticiency OF farm labor for every
part of the country during the COM
ing season.
a. L. Berkman, Chief of the Diyi-
sion of Farm Service, announced to-
night that every effort would be
made to meet the expected shortage
of farm labor by a plan to mobilize
the available men and women in ev-
cry community in the country. A
special farm service man would be
stationed in most of the ninety-four
Federal employment agencies of the
country, Mr.. Berkman said. and, in
addition, postotiices in the small
farming communities would be used
as receiving stations.
The college girls and the women
of the leisure classes who are ready
to respond to a call for workers as a
matter of patriotic service" Mr..
Berkman said, must be depended
upon chiefly for the woman labor
that will be needed"

The Cry For Ships

Some mcLths ago, in a speech in
the House OF Commons, Lloyd George
exclaimed that the great need OF the
war was Ships, Ships, and then
more Ships" In his convincing
speech before the Senate Military
Committee, a few days ago Secretary
Baker stated that the prosecution OF
the war was being delayed by the
lack OF ships. Soldiers are ready for
France, but there are no transports
to take them there. Munitions, in
abundance, are ready for our men
over seas, and for the armies OF our
Allies, but are waiting for ships.
Food supplies of all kinds are stored
at the seaports of America, waiting
for shipment to Europe. The Ger
man submarine warfare, while fail
ing in its object in bringing England
to terms, has destroyed a huge ton
mage, which has hardly been replac-
ed by the new ships built here and
abroad.
AS will appear from an advertise
ment in this issue, the National
Council of Defense is making extra
ordinary efforts to procure the ser
vices of persons skilled in ship build
ing. or in kindred work. We hope
that all persons skilled in this work
in Dorchester county will respond to
the call, for they will be doing as
much to help win the war as if they
volunteered in the fighting forces.
It is a call to an important duty, land
those who respond will be paid liber-
al wages, as well as feel the satlsfac-
ton of having aided their country
in a critical moment.

NOT ALL HONEY
In SMALL TOWNS
Country Editor Tells of Some OF Dis
advantages of Life There.

tom Bodine in Paris, Mo-, Mercury
Those vino live in cities, where
personal contact is not intimate, miss
something of the warmth and the
glow of personal friendships, their
satisfactions and the faith inspired
by the Royalties resulting. but on the
other hand they escape much that
cannot be considered as deprivation
and which results from this same
closeness of contact.
The small social clash, with its
daily irritancies and its petty intri-
que, is missing. There is no strug-
gle for empty distinctions, at least
it is negligible, and as a result i'm
putation of motives, secret recrimi-
nations and recurring factionalism
among aspiring social groups are
happily lacking. Where contact is
too close personal interests, economic
and social, are in constant conflict,
and wherever enc turns he encoun-
tiers some small feud; if not this one,
the other. Unselfish and disinteres-
ted endeavor looking to the public
-
good becomes as consequence al
most impossible
People living in small towns, be-
cause interests are restricted, are
more apt to become self-centered

BRYAN ASSAILS LIQUOR
IN HOUSE CHAMBER
Continued From Page Three.)

, the liquor interests knew that if the
J people ever got a taste of prohibi-
! ton, they would never give it up.
But, he declared, if the people wan
/ ted to bring back the blessings OF
! alcohol and saloons all they have to
| do is to go through the same pro
cess by which prohibition was to be
| adopted.
Then Mr.. Bryan launched forth in
to general argument to prove that
alcohol is poison that Weakens q
man physically and mentally and
menacing to his morals and his
soul" He was at his best in telling
of the evils of drink and how the
| breweries were willing to sell out
their countries in order to make mo-
ney. Brewers, he declared. could
buy Legislatures and debauch States
but they had no standing with God,
and God needed no advice from him
how to punish them.
He quoted Lloyd George on how
drunkenness had been the enemy OF
England in the war; of how, il or
der to protect the American army
men were considered criminals who
sold liquor to soldiers; of the amount
of grain and coal were required in
the making of liquor and asked:
Shall we sell to men the priv
lege of making criminals?"
Reviewing the progress of prOhibi-
ton in America, Mr.. Bryan declared:
For the first time in my life L am
on the side of majority. Why not
join in the majority that is growing?
Come in out of the wet.'
Telling of Kentucky's ratifying
the amendment, he exclaimed:
Shame on you, Maryland. if you
can not do as well as Kentucky"
Concerning the argument that
blind tigers" would take the place
of license saloons, Mr.. Bryan argued
that illicit selling was greater in wet
than in dry territory.
But" he declared, If a tiger
went after my boy the binder the
tiger, the better will l be satisfied"

NO TRICK TO LIFT
A CORN RIGHT OUT
Says there ish no excuse for cutting
coIns and inviting lockjaw.

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns
or any kind of a corn ca nharmlessly
be lifted right out with the fingers
if you will apply directly upon the
corn few drops of freezone, says a
Cincinnati authority.
1t is claimed that at small cost one
can get a quarter of an ounce of
freezone at any drug store, which is
sufficient to rid ones feet Of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
less or the danger of infection.
This simple drug, while sticky,
dries the moment it is applied and
does not infiame or even irritate the
surrounding tissue.
This announcement will interest
many women here, for it is said THAT
the present high-heel footwear is
putting corns on practically every
woman's feet.-Adv.

by illness the past week.
Work has been commenced on fine,
large brick storage warehouse at the

decline, the whole American people is learning
to make that dollar go further. The folks are
conscientiously studying their dollar, at the
dinner table, at the shop counter, everywhere.
Not only are they saving dimes on the dollar at
these points, but they are determined upon saw
ing through government operations, such as
control of transportation and taxation of ex-
cesses and abnormalities.
However, scratch a pessimist deep enough and
you'll always find materialism. Nothing save
faith, hope and spiritual inspiration has lifted
us from the landing of Columbus starving,
mutinous crew to our position as the greatest
of nations materially and people SO glorious
spiritually that it gives its lives and its wealth
without stint that people all over the earth may
be free, be fed and have a chance to be happy
and prosperous as God Almighty intended
We bleed, we sacrifice, we mourn, in this war;
but the nations peace vision is aglow with all
the colors of the Alnighty's benefcence, and
the pssimists, the materialists who groan over
depression in the future, over low wages and
too much food and clothes, are but as the grass
hopper, the moth and the gnat.

A REGULAR MOTHER

There is plenty Of sentiment about mother
hood-but little romance.
Essayists and editors who write about mo-
therhood with a capital M and tremelo tone
gradually call it a profession.
Actual mothers know it is Job
There are picture mothers-attired in lacy
negligees and bending tenderly above pink ba-
bies in sik-lined baskets.
Or poem mothers with silver hair gracefully
disposed under white caps, sitting, testament in
hand, by cheerful firesides or windows flooded
with sunset.
Or popular song mothers whose whole bust
ness is to be waiting day by day" for some
ungratefu son who is invariably repentant and
invariably 'far away
But what is a REGULAR" mother?
A regular mother is the capable lady who
sends son John off to the army, and Mary off to
her typewriter, and father down to the shop,
and little Bill away to Sixth Grade, A-and
generally makes the world go round and stay in
its tracks.
A regular mother hasn't any time to look the
part. No silk negHgees, or white caps or wait
ing-day- by-day for heri
Generally the regular mothers hair isn't sill
Yer white at all. It's that pepper-and-salt mix
ture of brown and white that signifies strength,
common nse-and ''the best wearing quail
ties" Nor is it smooth and soft-its usually a
little rumpled by the rush to "get the family
off to work. or get dinner on the table,
Nor are the regular mothers eyes dim with
tears" or soft with memories!" Please tell us
what regular mothers eyes would do with
tears and memories when she's got to see every
thing from the hole in Bills stocking to that
new blush Mary wears when jim called up tc

She's satisfied with a clean white shirtwaist
with its crocheted edge on the collar Ito save

EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

When Fuel Administrator Garfield and Oil
Administrator Requa announced that gasless
Sundays would apply only to territory east of
the Mississippi a great many people wondered
ABOUT this, They were anxious to know why
one part OF the country should be effected by
the order and the other not effected Here is
The official statement regarding it:
The appeal for a gasoineless Sunday was
restricted to the territory east of the Mssis-
sippi River for the reason that the shortage
was acute at the eastern seaboard, and the re-
serves there could be maintained quicker by a
3urtailment in that territory than in one far re-
moved, although the stocks in the east were to
De further augmented by shipments from terri
tory west of the Mississippi River, namely the
field, without it being necessary
TO restrict the use of automobiles in that dis
trict for the present at least
Thus it is seen that the government had good
practical reason for making the gasolineless
Sunday order just the way it did, besides it is
probable that the enforcement of the gasoline
less Sunday would work more of hardship in
he west than in the east because the automo-
bile is used to travel such great distances across
country, in many instances it being the only
means of transportation. If it would become
necessary to put the gasolineess Sunday rule in
effect west of the Mississippi you can make up
your mind that the FuGl Administration De-
)artment would not hesitate to do So From all
that can be learned the west is combining it's au-
tomobiling very principally to business and its
very strictest requirements, without any order.

HUNS MELTING
PARIS MEDALS
MADE IN ANTICIPATION OF EN-.

TENDER,

(By Newspaper Enterprise Assoc'n)
PARIS, France, Oct. 2.-There has
just come to Paris a copy of another
relic of blasted German ambition, a
valuable addition to Frances historic
collection OF war souvenirs,
Ut is a copy of the commemorative
medal the Germans made in antici.
patton of their entry into Paris in
September, 1914.
Thousands of them were struck
off. But they sort of got out of date.
And then in consequence of the lack
OF meals in Germany, the disappoint-
ed Huns recently were obliged to
send ten wagon loads of the medals
to Dresden foundry, to be made III
to something useful
Only one of the original medals re-
mains. 1t is on exhibition in the mu-
scum at Basel, Switzerland-an OBJ
ject of joy or sorrow, according to
he nationality of visitors who view
it.
The original medal is the size of
half dollar, made of light metal, yell
low-tinted. On one side is the iron
,cross and the date 1914" and an in
scription United within, resolute
without On the other side the Ethel
Tower and the Arch a. Triumph are
shown together with the dates "17S1-
1914 and the inscription Entry of
German troops into Paris
