institution.
Months ago, when the first of the wound
ed men began to return, Buck-hes known
to every one by his last name and no other
went off by himself and after observing
the necessary routine secured permission
to take six wounded men out for an after
noon and evening.
In the afternoon the seven of them, be-
cause part of the idea was that they were
just to go around as pals together, took in
a matinee. Then they went over to The
Lambs, where they sat down and had din
ner. No fuss or feathers! There was to
be no entertaining; no speechmaking-jus

Since then each Wednesday and Saturday

Over the emphatic protest of Gene Buck,

and general all-around theatrical man, it
must be recorded that this finest thing Of

TO
BE ALARMED
Government Has Not Authorized
Anybody to Draft Labor or
Designate What is Nom
Essential Employment

To the People of Marion County:
1t has been brought to my attention
that two persons who were authoriz-
ed to recruit for the Brunswick works
have openly stated to the people of
this county that they must quit all
non-essential employment and go to
Brunswick or some other point to
work, or they would be Immediately
drafted. These statements, if made,
are utterly untrue, and the persons
making them are doing so contrary
to the instructions from the labor de-
partment. My advices are that the
people need not fear any quick orders
with respect to such matters, because
such would necessarily disorganize
the entire country Such matters
must necessarily be handled delib-
erately. Therefore, until notified
otherwise by the department. the peo-
pie Of this county need not become
alarmed over the situation; and the
statements of these parties to the eff
feet that they will be drafted immed-
lately if they do not go with them,
were made solely for the purpose of
enabling them to get up a large crow
of men to go to Brunswick to further
their own interests, and in violation
of the law. FL. M. Hampton,
Chairman Marion County Council of

this locomotive was moving through
the yards on its own steam, and soon
after that it was on it's way to re-
equip the State Railway of France,
which is one of the vital links of the
war game First of all the American

was equipped, and then the French
state railway took its turn, for they

eve turn out six TO ten complete
locomotives day." said the baron,
"and by the end of September it will
be twenty day, the largest con-
struction of the kind in the world.
Now the baron led the way to some
of the detailed processes of the huge
plant. Here was the boiler-testing
plant. Steam was up and the big
boilers were being tested after their
voyage across the ocean to see if the
sea water had opened any joints or
loosened rivets. 1t was surprising,
said the baron, how well they stood
the voyage with no loosening of
parts, and practically perfect when
they arrive.
Besides the industry of such huge
concern, there is besides, the equip
ment of living quarters for the army
of workmen-soldiers. Thus a good
sized city has sprung up, with ave-
nues and streets lined with barracks,
mess rooms, canteens. barber shops,
dentists offices, baths, and all the ac-
tivities of a fourishing frontier town.
Beyond the shops and barracks are
the great stretches of railway tracks
and sidings, for this is the first step
in the intricate system of transpor-
tation by which American troops and
supplies are moved to the front. When
the Americans came here there were
two tracks; now there is a network
of II tracks. Hundreds of American
engines and cars were moving over
these lines as we went through the
yards, and some 40 newly completed
locomotives just turn out at the near
by shops were starting on their way.
And as these went out, long trains
were bringing in more of the huge
crates with the bodies and wheels and
boilers, soon to be put together in
this steady stream of vast war con-
Struction.

June Garden Work.

OF course there will be much plant
ing in the garden in June, but .her
planting alone never did make a gooC
garden, and June is the month of till
age.
Hoe without ceasing, except to lei
the ground get dry enough after a rain,
Hoe shallow and hoe every bit of the
surface right up to the base of the veg.
etables, so that the soil is fine all over
when the job is done. Hoe even where
there are no weeds to kill, if they
chance such place should ever be dis.
covered in a garden.
Hoeing is a means of garden grace,
Hoe often.
But hoe intelligently.
Don't hoe beans in the early morning
when they are wet; it will injure theil
leaves. And never hoe anything deer
enough to injure the roots of the plants
June is the month of garden activity
Plants grow. Bugs eat. Can the gard.
ener be idle.

Let's Win The War.

The war is in Tennessee today, and II
we win YOU must work:
Tennessee farmers need more labor.
1t cannot be supplied by any other near
by states, because other States are in
precisely the same fix.
Every community must secure It's
emergency farm help by emergency
methods-town volunteers and high
schools, by forcing ell idlers to work,
by causing all nonessential work-thst
helps in no way to win the iwar-to be
discontinued during the rush seasons of
cultivation and harvest, and applied to
the farms instead of being exerted in a
way that from a war standpoint is
worthless.
Such methods must be used in
Fayette county Tennessee. Else the
town and county invite the humil
iation Of having failed to measure to
all war responsibilities.
Unless town people do help on the
farms during the heavy demands our
food production will be insufficient. No
matter how much money we raise We
must not fail to raise food.
1; is merely a question of the willing
ness of every town person of farm ex-
perience to work on farms in his COM
munity as he may be needed and of the
willingness of every farmer to make
the most of such help,
