DEFERRED CLASSIFICATION
FOR FARM HELP

Agriculture has been placed in the
100 per cent class as being absolutely
essential to win the war.
Of course the authority to grant de-
ferred classification on agricultural
grounds remains in the district draft
board. With the full approval and
cooperation Of General Crowder's Of
flee, representative of the U. s. de-
partment of agriculture will sit with
each district board, with no right to
vote, but to place before the board all
facts and information in his possess
sion as to workers in agriculture.
"a registered man, who has been Civ
en- deferred classifcatior on agricul-
tura grounds, and who appfies to the
s4esal oaara for yQl1n Y INDUCTION

ducte3 ur5i the aericulrlral adviser,
Sitting with the district boa rd, has been
informed of the name of the regis
trant and the place and character Of
his employment and has been given
seventy-two hours to consult with the
registrant and advise him of the ne
cesities Of the agricultural situation in
order that the registrant may with
draw his application because of the
pressing need for his services.
1t is hoped by the above plan to re-
duce in some measure the agricultur-
al disturbance which will follow the
present draft, and to prevent the with
drawal Of the key men from as many
farm as possible.
Farmers and others interested in
food production, who do not have a full
knowledge of the new regulations,
should inform themselves, and then as
sist in informing others.

STATE OF TENNESSEE,

r. NJ. Chambliss, chairman Of the
Fourth Liberty Loan drive in Haywood
county, stated Wednesday that he had
not yet received full reports from all
civil districts in this county on the Ie-
cent drive, but he had assurance that
the full assessment will be met.
The drive was slowed up considera-
bly, by the Spanish influenza epidemic
To date three districts are known to
have subscribed more than their quo
tas. District No. / was assessed $12,-
900 and has reported subscriptions to
the amount of $12,5O0. District No.
was assessed $4,000 and has report
ed $4,000. District No. 7 will exceed
its quota of $s1 900, but its full amount
has not yet been announced. There
will probably be other districts to ex-
ceed their assessments when full re-
turns are received.
AS stated above, the banks Of the
county have guaranteed the full allot-
ment of 100000, thus making old
Haywood sure of going over the top,
as she has done in every drive for war
purposes.
This last drive has been hampered
in many ways, but nothing can make
our people forget their duty in support
ing our government in this great war.
We have been a little slow this time,
but we have reached the goal just the
same.

OUR FRENCH ORPHANS

A drive is on throughout the entore
u. s. to help make life possible for
the fatherless children OF France. The
drive is to last until Christmas. This
is work Of children for children. The
children Of America should be made to
understand that the responsibility Of
saving and securing this money Is
theirs, and that unless they meet this
responsibility squarely disaster win
overtake some little boy or girl~in
France. In the glory of a future

messages of the great pleasure they
have had from their French orphans.
They give assurance of their renewal
OF the adoptions and of their inten-
tons of holding their children until
