Furloughs to Help Farm Work.

For the purpose of augmentlng
agricultural production it is the in
tention of the War Department to
grant furloughs to enlisted men to
enable them to engage in farming
during the present season. Com
manding officers may grant such fur
loughs within prescribed rules when
ever it appears they will contribute
to increased farm production.
Burroughs may be given by COM
manding officers of posts, camps can
tonments, divisions, and depart
ments. They will be for short periods,
largely for seeding and harvesting
time. They will not be granted to
enlisted men of or above the grade
of first sergeant, nor in an organiza-
ton that has been ordered to move
or is in transit from points of mobil-
ization or training to port of en-
barkation. All furloughs granted
will be recalled and the men ordered
to their organizations when they have
received preparatory orders for duty
overseas.
Furloughs granted for farm work
will be without pay and allowances,
except that enough pay will be re-
tanned in each case to meet allot-
ments in force on the day of the
order, war-risk insurance, and pledg-
es on Liberty bonds.
For specially qualified experts in
agriculture furloughs may be grant

The liberty bond campaign is to
close within the next few days. Have
YOU done your part in the war by
investing in one or more bonds? II
not, you should see one of the COM
mittee, or your bank, today and sub
scribe to the limit of your ability.
We hear many people boast of their
patriotism, and yet when approach
ed to lend the government some mon
ey to carry the war on with, they
with one accord begin to make excus-
es. Verify, these are times which
show what men are made Of. Many
people are just bubbling over with
the sort of patriotism which costs
them nothing. Never toruble your
self about whether this war is going
to cost you anything or not. 1t Ger
tainly will. You now have the op-
portunity of LENDING your govern
ment your money. If you do not
lend your money, you will have to
pay the government in other ways.
Liberty bonds are not taxable. The
man who invests his money in bonds
will not pay taxes on just that much
of his wealth. Invest it in anything
else, and you will pay dearly. 1t is
not right that any man or set of
men should make money by a war
which costs so much blood, and any
person who undertakes to take ad-
vantage of the crisis to become
wealthy will live to regret it, in our
opinion. 1t is not enough that we
should give our sons sons must
be equipped and provided with the
best supplies money can buy. The
man who is able to buy bonds and
fails or refuses to do it will be a
marked man the rest of his life.

ed by the Secretary of War upon ap-
plication by the Secretary of Agri-
culture. providing such furloughs are
voluntarily accepted by the persons
for whom application is made.
Individual applications for fur
loughs submitted by relatives will be
on a form to be furnished by local
draft boards. Two sections are to
be made out and presented to the
local board, which will complete the
form.
If the furlough is granted the ap-
plication will be filed by the COM
manding officer and a certificate fur
nished the soldier. If not granted,
the application will be returned with
reasons for disapproval.
If the soldier initiated the ap-
plication he will give the name of
of the person for whom he
desires to work, from whom will be
ascertained the need for farm seA
vice.
Furloughs may be granted en- bloc
to men who are willing to accept
them, upon request of farmers, when
time consumed in travelling from the
post to the place of labor will not
exceed "a hours. In making these
applications farmers will use a form
of the Provost Marshal Generals
office, also going to the local board.

Speaking of enlistments IN the
army and navy, we wonder if there
is any town in the State the size OF
Bamberg that can show as many
voluntary enlistments in these
branches of the service as our town
can.

American troops st\nding at

while not foot of ground won

The counter attack developed
after the Germans had heavily
bombarded Vaux and Bois de La
