judicial Pun.

A certain judge was trying a case
where dealer sued steamship COM
pany for the loss of some pigs in fire
on board cross-channel boat. 1t came
out in evidence that the steamer had a
large deck load, and here the damage
was greatest.
The judge thus began his charge to
the jury:
Gentlemen, to put thess pigs on
deck was rash act. but to fry them
was a rasher."

WANT VIGILANCE
CORPS FORMED
IN CORDOvA

Mayor Chase, of this city, today
made public a request received from
Richard NJ. Hurd, chairman Of the
board of trustees of the American de-
Tense society, urging citizens here 10
organize local vigilance corps. for
the purpose of aiding the government
in putting an end to German propa-
ganda and enemy activity which has
been responsible for fires, ammuni-
ton plant explosions, sabotage, food
scares and other attempts to damage
the morale of the American people
Recent events in this country make
1t plain that the German method of
propaganda which has been so effec-
tive In Russia and Italy is now being
attempted in this country with an
alarming degree of success" accord
Ing to the appeal to Americans now
being issued by the American defense
society. German propaganda has
long been supplied to our troops in
the national encampments.. The ship
building program is being interfered
with by German-inspired strikes. Ger

alien enemies representing Germany,
Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey and other
countries sympathetic or allied with
the Prussian autOcracy. Almost with
out exception these enemies are free
to go about as they see fit, and while
the government has done much to,
ward tightening the censorship of
mails and cables, nevertheless there
are numberless channels by which
these enemies are in touch with the
directing genius of German propagan-
da in Berlin
If Americans mean to stand by the
men at the front, whose lives are al,
ready being sacrificed, and to stand by
their government, the opportunity is
offered in the additional service they
can give to this work of the American
defense society.
The plan of organization undertake
en- by the society and recommended
to loyal Americans provides for the
enrolment of small American vigil
ance corps in every city and town
which shall classify all residents I'M
der the following terms:
l. Loyal.
2. Disloyal.
. 3. Doubtful.
4. Unknown.
Following the general classification
of citizens the committee is urged to
make further designation of the fol-
lowing list:
l. Alien enemy.
9. Pro-German.
5. Anti-government.
In the letter of instructions to
branch organizations the executive
committee of the American defense
society gives the following directions:
cat the earliest possible moment,
when you have made your classified
ton of alien enemies, pro-Germans,
and those opposed to the government

EXTENSION NOTES

The September registration was divided into three classes: CD agri- cultural; (2) industrial; (3) other oc- equations. There was also an ad- visory board of three men selected to assist the district board in determin- ing the merit of applicants for de- ferred classification The agricultural representative on this board is Mir. Eicher, who will investigate the agri- cultural labor situation and make re- commendations for deferred classifi- cation where he finds it merits it.
 By recent arrangements the county agent has been appointed the county adviser to assist Mir. Richer in de- termining the status of applicants for deferred classification.
 Those who have made application for this agricultural classification should see the county agent and fur nish him such information as he may desire in order that he may make in telligent recommendation to the ad- visory board.
 Now we wish it understood at the outset that We nor the advisory board can give deferred classification. Our work is to furnish the facts as they exist.
 It is not the intention of anyone to try to shirk the responsibilities that come to the agricultural class, but we desire to retain such number on the farm as is necessary to the success ful carrying out the war policy as outlined for the agricultural class. So it is needless for every registrant to make application but there are those who deserve consideration and we hope to be able to get such informa- tion before the board as will enable them to act intelligently and thereby enable us to carry out our part in the defense of democracy, civilization and christianity. The war time crop sys- tenn will have it's weight in these in vestigations. If there are those who failed to make application on the questionnaire and have reason to be- lieve they are entitled to deferred classification, should see me at once.
 This is matter we should act on at once.
 Trusting that l may be able to serve you and at the same time do the greatest possible service for our country, l am
