DESTROYS BARN.

A barn belonging to Mr.. Morris
Barnett, just across Rough river
from Hartford, was set on fire Ivy
lighting last Wednesday morning and
burned 10 the ground in a short
time.
The barn contained a quantitylog
corn, several thousand pounds of
tobacco, ana several hundred dollars
worth Of hay, farming implements.
ect, The loss is estimated at about
$4,000 with about S40O insurance.
A very peculiar thing about the
occurrence was the fact that two
farmers had driven their wagons in
the barn for shelter and neither they
nor their horses were injured by the
stroke.

ponding to Pershing.

Washington, April 7.--Approxim-
ately 100000, men will be sent to
training camps during the five-day
period, beginning April 26, under
orders sent to State Governors to-day
by Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder
for mobilization of the April call of
the second draft. This is three times
the number 1t was originally p1enned
to call, and is nearly twice the month
ly quota as based on the calling of
100000 men over a period Of nine
months.
Calling out of the increased num-
Der was made necessary by the de-
cision of President Wilson to respond
without delay to the need of France
and Great Britain for reinforce
ments in the great battle in .Picardy.
Vacancies in National Army divis-
ions resulting from the withdrawal
of men to complete national guard
: and regular army units and for the
formation of special technical units
asked by Gen. Pershing, will be made
9good by the April draft Those di-
vision farthest advanced in training
are to receive first attention in order
that the maximum number of COM
plete units may be sent abroad soon.
To Use Old System.
Failure of Congress to pass the
amendment to the selective service
act, which would permit the fixation
Of State quotas on the number of
men in class one,- necessitated tenn
porary adherence to the old system.
Local boards have been officially adj
vised, however, that they are to ig-
more quotas" for the time being and
to simply continue calling up men un-
til they have obtained the number
they have been instructed to forward.
When basis for establishing State
quotas has been found, due credit
against future increments viii be
given for those already called.
Among the men to be called will be
approximately 116,7O0 whites and
33.700 negroes, Pennsylvania leads
with 1895 called; Ohio is second
With 10,302, and New York third
With 1911.

There is no other medicine TO

endorsement of Tanlac by Mrs. J.
C. Dixon, of 2ll9 Main ST., Equi-
nox, Anderson. The daughter she
referred TO is Mrs. J. G. Bailey.
My daughter was in terribly run
down condition, had no appetite,
and she suffered a great deal with
her nerves. She suffered almost all
the time with severe pains across
her back. and she frequently com.
plained of indigestion.
She had been in really bad
health for over year when she be-
gan taking Tanlac, but the medl-
cine began to build her up right
away. The Tanlac relieved those
ills and strengthenened her ip a
truly wonderful way. Her nerves
were strengthened, her appetite re-
turned and she did not have trouble
with her stomach. | am glad to
recommend Tanlac, for l think
there is no remedy to equal it.

There is boy who's name is Rim,
A good old guy is he.
But now he's left and gone to war
To fight for liberty.
How hard it is to give him up,
For he's so dear to US,
But off to France he soonwill go
And help settle all this fuss.
When we go back 10 Edgefeld,
And see where he has trod,
Our hearts are deeply sadder,
Still he's in the hands OF God,
When We see the old Oil Mill,
The place where he lovod to work,
1t makes our hearts rejoice and leap
To know nothing he would shirk.
Rim" worked hard at the Mill
Many, many, hot summer days,
And BY his Will he worked his way,
Up into all our praise.
He's working now for Uncle Sam,
A good and worthy man
And in the name Of God we give
This sacrifice for our homeland.
Now that he has left US,
And sad our hearts may be
We still remember dear old Rim
And initiate such boy as he.
We trust the cruel war will soon end
At last the victory won,
"Rim' and allthe boys come back,
Then America will be proud of her
sons.

BAsKET-NET FOR FISHERMAN
How Angler Can Catch Mnnows and
Small Fish for Bait.

Perhaps the greatest difficulty that
the amateur fisherman encounters on
his expeditions is the securing of live
bait. Bat Il he mas included in his
equipment basket net he can catch
minnows and small fish in any stream.
The frame of the net Is made from
six tempered spring steel rods. To
this the netting Is attached With rust
proof ring clips. In the center Of the
netting is the bait pocket, in which
bread, meat or other bait is placed
to attract the minnows. When the
net is lifted, the weight Of the con-
tents causes it to bag" so that the
minnows will not escape over the
sides.
When the net snags or when, for
some other reason, it is subjected to
extraordinary strain, the six tenn
pered steel rods bend inward. and
downward until all but one Of the
rings by which the net Is attached to
the frame slip out of the hooks. This
collapsing of the frame frees the net
from the snag and releases the strain.
The inventor claims, however, that
the net will not collapse except under
extraordinary strain, which If resisted
would damage the net. 1t folds up
into a compact little bundle which is
scarcely noticeable among the fisher
mans "traps."

Subject to Penalty:

Subject to Penalty:
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, May 4.-The German
telephone line of Marshall county has
informed the state executive council
that at meeting of directors of the
telephone company it was decided not
to make a report to the state. These
reports are required by law from every
telephone company, and members OF
the executive council point out that any
company which fails to send in its re-
port by May 1 is liable to a fine OF
800 per day for each days delay. No
reason is given by the company for its
position.
The German telephone line Is
farmers line running from a point near
Dillon to Ferguson. 1t has no connec-
ton with the local exchange. The re-
port of the auditor of state shows that
the company made report to the
executive council in 1917.
