Grants Liberty
Loan Quota is
$lO7,lOO.OO

The quota for Grant parish for
the fourth Liberty loan has been
fixed at S107, 100. That is the
amount our people are to buy of
the total which must be sold it
the government is to successfully
finance, during the next few
months, our part in the terrible
conflict the kaiser and his hordes
have brouhgt upon the world.
Of course the people of Grant
parish are going to buy that
amount, and the only question is
how much more and how quickly
are we going to do it?
Grant parish people are going
at this bond-buying proposition
in just the same way that our
Grant parish boys are going at
the Heinies in France. We are
not going to wait until the fight
is over before we getintoi it, and
we are not going to stop at the
fixed objective of SLOT, loo any
more than our boys stop when
they reach the first German
trench or German machine gun
nest.
We are going to put Grant par
| ish dollars back of Grant parish
boys and let them work together
so that in the end the world
may be a decent place to live in. .

Information About .he Boys Working
Reserve.

Parish Superintendents


Parish Superintendents.
| have just returned from a
conference held at Washington,
D. c., of the National and State
directors of the Boys Working
Reserve, and am now in position
to give a little more definite in
formation as to the purposes,
etc., of the B. w. R.
The Boys Working Reserve
was organized with the view of
relieving, as far as possible, the
labor shortage existing through
out the nation. The Boys Work
ing Reserve is under the control
and management of the National
Department of labor, and its Off
GERS keep in close touch and SYM
pathy with the National War De-
partment. Your especial atten-
ton is invited to the following
matters in connection with this
organization:
1. Boys who have reached
their sixteenth birthday and have
not reached their twenty-frst
birthday are eligible as members
No others are eligible.
2. The War Department ha:
approved a uniform to be worr
| by boys who join the B. w. r
| This uniform will be available a
all points in the different State.
where units of the Reserve ar,
organized. The cost will be uni
form throughout the Unitet
States. and will be $3.50. Tn
War Department is now consid
ering the question of furnishing
these uniforms free to the boys
and will rule on that point in tn
near future. The boys who joi
the Reserve will not be require
to wear the uniform, though the
should by all means do so. Th
; cost cannot be considered an ex
pense, because a suit of clothin
. of as good material cannot b
purchased in the market at tn
r price of the uniform.
3. Boys who work for eel
tain number of days during tn
year on the farm or in essenti'
]. industries will be entitled to wea
certain insignia approved by tn
r War Department.
Il A. The purposes of the B. v
I r. are:
Il (a) An obligation on the pal
of the boys to work whenevs
The Colfax chronicle., 1918-09-28

possible on his fathers farm orl
in his fathers essential indus-
try; or,
(b) To work whenever possible
for hire on the farms or in the
essential industries of others,
with the view, in each case, of
increasing food production or
other products needed in prose-
cution Of the war.
s. The new draft regulations
which make boys of eighteen toll
twenty-one years subject to mill
itary duty in no way interfere
with the age limits governing in
the B. w. R. In other words, a
boy in the B. w. R. of eighteen
to twenty-one is a member of
this organization until he is CALI
ed for military duty.
(6) The War Department has
now under consideration the sta-]
tioning of army officers in the
different States charged with the
duty of visiting the different
high schools having units of the
B. w. R. and giving the boys in.
that organization physical train
ing and military drill. This ques-
ton will doubtless soon be de-
cided.
| z. The B. w. R. in many Of.
the States has already rendered
most excellent service. Last
summer the boys were brought
together at convenient centers
and given intensive training in.
agricultural operations, and were
then distributed to farms needing
help in planting and harvesting.
On account of the short cotton.
crop, it may be that the services
of our boys are not now needed
Iaway from home. but in these
4 S;mss Of sunse1tIetl TABOR condi-
tions there is no predicting what
the conditions will be next year.
Should our boys be required to
assist at planting, cultivating,
and harvesting the crops next
season, we must be prepared to
have them render the service,
and the Boys Working Reserve
can be a great help in providing
, such needed labor.
8. Allow me to urge that the
principal of every school in your
parish be required to enroll, as
far as possible, every boy in his
| school between the ages of six
| teen and twenty-one, and that
: you organize to reach, as far as
: possible, the boys of these ages,
both white and colored, who are
: not in school.
9. The enrolment cards when
81 filled out should be turned over
to the chairman OF the Parish
! Council of Defense. September
2 % has, been set apart as the date
t for the enrolment of boys in the
(. B. w. R., but the work of enroll
ment should by all means be con-
S tinued after that date should this
n be necessary to reach all of the
!. boys who can be brought into
t organization.
S 10. 1t should be explained
e that in no case will there be ar
i effort to Induce boys to leave
d their homes to work for other:
e without the consent of their pa
l. rents. AS a matter of fact. ouI
G principal efforts. for the presen
), at least, will probably be direct
e ed toward inducing our boys Il
n work enthusiastically at foot
d production on their fathers
" farms.
le Yours very truly,
