SECOND DRAFT APRIL
Preparations Made Indicate Call With
in Two Months.

Washington Feb. 23.-While war
department officials reiterate that no
date has been definitely fixed for the
calling Of the second draft OF the ma
tional army all outward indications
would seem to point to some time in
April or at least early in May.
Such estimate is made on known
preparations for eQuipping and hous-
ing the men. II Is no military secret
that the equipment for the men In
the second draft will become available
soon after April l.
The number OF men TO be called In
the first increment has not yet been
determined. There will be room for
some Of them in camps and canton
ments now occupied by troops and t
is possible that additional canton
ments may have to be provided. 1t Is
also possible that some OF the national
guard camps may have to be used.

Fletcher at Work on the Paper
Trust

Some few weeks since the Rec
ord had an editorial on the high
price to which paper was soaring.
We knew that Florida'S senior
Senator would take the matter up.
At the time we had information
that he would, as early as posi-
Bile, call the Presidents attention
to this iniquitouS trust-this
"profiteering" bunch of the pa
per trade. He has recently done
this, and there's going to be
something doing" The Inter
national Paper Company claimed,
when Senator Fletcher began to
stir up the animals, that to make
profit on newspaper they must
have three cents a pound. Mr..
Fletcher told them they could
make a dividend of from eight to
ten per cent, at 2 IL C. Mr..
Fletcher then called on the FEEDER

gate the matter and they did so,
with the result that these gentle
men found that Mr.. Fletcher was
right, and so reported Mr.. Fletch-

to come across, reported the mat

him to fix the price, which he has
done, and the government is now
being furnished news print on a

The Food Problems of Children

The proper feeding OF cnllo arti
and infants cannot be oVer-eStl-
mated and the Florida STATE
Hath Department desires to EN-
nbasize this importance, especial,
~ during the stress and strain OIL
war times.
Milk is the important food for
infants and young children. On
,ccount of the high prices and the
difficulty of getting the proper
supply, there may be tendency
n substitute other foods. The
use of substitutes and under-feed-
ing of good, wholesome milk must
he guarded against. The results of
such practices are beginning to be
shown abroad and even in some OF
our large cities in. this country
due to war conditions.
The Children Bureau of the
United States Department of La
Dor shows decrease in the a.
mount which is finding its way to
children of poor families. This is
a matter Of great Importance in
connection with the nationwide
campaign now on, to save one
hundred thousand lives Of chill
tlren and babies in one year Milk
and milk products are prime
necessity for infants and children.
The people should realize the
great Importance Of dairy pro-
ducts for the children's need. NAL
nutrition has been a problem for
q long time, especially in the large
cities, and it is doubly so now,
brought about by the high prices
and the strenuous times. Tt has
been shown that the increase in
the price of milk for the past year
caused the decrease in the amount
consumed by children.
jnasmuch as milk is the proper
food for the young children. any
reduction in the supply will no
doubt cause a higher mOrbiditv
and mortality rate. The Chill
'dren's Bureau U. s. reports that
in Baltimore there has already
been a reduction in The amount of
fresh milk used, to twentv-nine
per cent. now, against sixty per
cent. one year ago. At thu samo
time, the total daily purchase NJ

The Woman Stacker

Under the above heading, the
following appeared in the De-
Funiak Springs Breeze of the 18th
inst. Is it possible that it applies
to any woman in Punta Gorda or
elsewhere in DeSoto county?
Here is the article:
We hear the epithet Stacker ap-
piled to men every day, but very
little is said about the woman
Stacker. A Stacker is a Stacker
whether CIT" wears pants or pet
ticoats, and one is just as little
deserving of consideration as the
other If there was one thing
more than another that caused
this government to call our men
to arms to fight the "Beast of
Berlin" it was the stories of the
outraged, violated womanhood of
Belgium and France, babies torn
from their mothers breast and
impaled on German bayonets, of
little children with their hands
cut off and young girls violated
and mutilated to unfit them for
motherhood. \
1t was to punish these outrages,
womanhood of America, that our
young men are giving up lucra-
tive positions at home and endur-
ing hardships and privations on
foreign soil and pouring out their
life's blood in the mud and YER
min-infested trenches of France !;
and any woman who is not will
ing and does not make some sac
rifice to help in this fight, is not
only a Stacker, but base migrate
This is the most crucial period
not only in the history of our own
nation, but in the history of the
world. The very foundations of
civilization are trembling in the
balance, and our government
needs every ounce of man power
and woman power available in
winning this war.
Many thousands of patriotic
women have nobly responded to
our country's call and are render
ing valiant service in the Red
Cross and various other war &C
tivities, while other thousands
seemingly have no other thought
than their own idle pleasures.
To these We appeal.
Oh, women of this fair free land,
Why stand We idly by
While thousands plead with you
While thousands bleed and die?
for help;
Will you be drones in this great
hive,
Go on your way in idle ease
Will you your duty shirk,
While others do your work?
Our men are fighting o 'er the seas,
They suffer bitter loss,
Will you not heed their cries for
aid,
Will you not take your cross?
