FARMERS PUT
in DEFERRED
CLASSIFICATION
Information Given As to How to Sc
cure Deferred Classification In
Draft For Farmers.

County Agent Frank Boyd is in re-
ceipt of the following communication
from Assistant Secretary of the Agri-
culture Department, Clarence Ousley.
II should be read carefully by all
seeking deferred classification on
agricultural grounds:
In the matter of the deferred class
ification of farm operators and work.
ers, the Official United States Bulle-
tin of September II, 1918, contains
very important statement by Provost
Marshal General Crowder. He calls
special attention to two facts One OF
these facts is that the basis for defer
red classification requires something
more than the mere filling out of
QUESTIONABLE. Some one must indi-
cate that the individual case is one
which should arrest the special at
tention of the Draft Board in respect
to the registrants occupational
status" says General Crowder. To
the question, what happens to the
registrant neglecting to state his
claims for deferred classification? he
replied: "If he does not put them
down in this questionable and no one
else puts them down, the claim can
not be considered" The second fact
is that it is the duty of an employer to
al his necessary employees in a nec-
essary occupation in presenting their
cases to the Board.
These statements of General Crowd
er need to be given wide publicity.
They also carry the inference that
County Agenest, State Farm Help
Specialists, Agricultural Advisers,
and all others interested in the food
production program of the war,
should assist all necessary farm work
ers, including farm owners and man
ayers, in receiving the deferred classi-
fication that the War Department de-
sires them to have
General Crowder's statement:
81 have noticed, in the general eX-
pressions of the public attitude which
reach this office, two frequent fea-
lures which lead me to the present
comments. One of these features is
the belief that the process of award
ing deferred classification to regis
trant requires merely the filling out
of the questionable, and that the Sc
lective-service boards will perceive
the propriety of making the deferment
without the assistance furnished by
the -registrant's formal claim indicat-
ing the deferment desired. The other
feature is the employers failure to
realize his responsibility to intervene
in aiding the boards determination
and therefore to inform himself fully
on all the considerations which should
affect the decision as to deferment
Both of these features are due to q
single larger fact, viz, failure or
the part of many to reflect on the in
dustrial considerations governing de
ferred classification.
81. AS to the aforementioned belief
it must be pointed out that if it were
universally acted upon, the process O
classification would be seriously

TERMINALS FOR
THE CITIES ALONG
The MISSISSIPPI
In Order to Handle Business of Gov
eminent Barge Line Cities Are
Asked to Build Adequate
Terminals.

Cities along the river will be ex-
pected to locate and construct modern
terminals. Such terminals are need
ed to handle eXpeditiously and econo-
mically the commodities that should
be transported by the Government
Barge line.
In locating its river-terminal each
city must first determine the kind and
probable amount of the tonnage which
ough to move by river. When this is
known the location, character and APP
proXimate cost of the terminal may be
determined.
The exact location must be decided
upon by the city's engineer in confer
ence with experts representing the
Director of the Federal Barge Line
and the engineers of the Mississippi
River Commission whose approval
will be required. The River Commits
sion Engineers will be glad to con-
suit with the city's representatives
but will not locate or prepare plans
for docks.
The essentials for an up-to-date
river terminal are:
/. Ten feet or more of water in
front of the dock at all stages of the
river.
2. A safe harbor, free from cross
currents, eddies, or Instructions that
MIKE landing or departure difficult or
dangerous.
3. Accessibility, and light grad
tents to and from the land.
A. Such facilities as will expedite
handling.
5. Room to expand.
If the city is small and rail SER
vice limited, the business done on the
river will be largely local. In this
case the terminal may be simple, but
should be so located as to be easily
reached by street-trafflc and may need
no direct railconnection. However
it must be so constructed as to be
readily reached by the Barge Line
and so equipped as to cause the mini
mum delay to the same.
The design of the terminal, wheth-
er it shall be built of timber or Of
more permanent material at increased
cost; whether there is need for an in
expensive derrick a locomotive OF
gantry crane, telpher system, one or
more elevators, an esculator or end

more of these handling systems
whether hand propelled or motor

and similar questions will be decided
by the terminal engineer after care.

Big HUN SHELLS MAKE EX-
PLOSNE IN AIR, IS BELIEF
French Experts Say Two Liquids
Unite After Leaving Super-Gun.

Raris-That the bursting charge of
shells from the German long range
guns is mixed while the projectiles
are in actual flight is the belief of
French scientists, according to a tech
meal journal published here.
When the Smelling of Paris began it
was noticed that the explosion of a
shell produced a cloud of black smoke
mixed with a little that was white,
and accompanied by a strong smell
of ether. Recently the smoke has
been entirely white and light, the eth
err odor persisting.
No shell that failed to explode has
been found, nor even an entire fuse,
indicating how delicate and reliable
the explosive is.
This fact leads experts to suppose
that the shell is charged with two
liquid explosives, separated by the
perforated partition which is known
to exist in the center of the proiec-
tile.
When the shell is fired at a high
angle the liquid in the upper end COM
bines with that in the lower chamber,
and churned by the violent rotation,
produces at the moment of impact
three minutes later, prfect mixture
This would explain, it is said, the
ability of the charge to resist the
enormous shock when fired and the
remarkable uniformity of the explo-
sions.

GERMAN REVOLT is PREDICTION

prominent Swiss citizen, recently re-

trouble that may surpass the acts of
the Bolsheviki in Russia menaces the
