Work.
Gov. Pleasant has issued the follow
proclamation for the enrolment Of boys
from 16 to 20 years of age for the
Boys Working Reserve" viz:
Whereas, the Federal Government
earnestly urges that the Boys Working
Reserve of Louisiana be strongly and
effectively organized; and,
Whereas, the boys of the State can
be of inestimable value to the common
wealth and to the nation particularly
at this time in the harvesting of crops;
Therefore, Ruffin G. Pleasant, Gov
ernor of the State of Louisiana. and
Ex- Officio Chairman of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense. do hereby appoint Hon.
T. H. Harris, Superintendent of Pub
lie Education, State Director of the
Boys Working Reserve of Louisiana,
and call upon the Parish Councils of
Defense of each parish of the State to
assist him in every way possible in per-
fecting said organization. Particularly
do request these councils of defense
to enroll in said Boys Working Reserve
Saturday, September z. 1918. all boys
within their jurisdiction between the
ages of sixteen and twenty years. !
suggest, also, that should no voluntary
secretary or other officer of any Parish
Council of Defense undertake the ac-
tive supervision of this work that said
council employ secretary for said pur-
pose. l also suggest that the Police
Juries give financial aid to the Parish
Councils of Defense for the aforesaid
purpose whenever necessary"
All boys between the ages of sixteen
and twenty are eligible to enroll in the
Boys Working Reserve, if they will
agree to engage in useful work for
their parents or others whenever pos
sible.
An enrolment button Is furnished
each boy when he joins the Reserve.
and suitable service bar will be given
each boy who works satisfactorily for
certain number of days during the
year. The buttons and service bars
will be furnished by the National Gov
eminent through the State Department
of Education.
The primary purpose of the United
Ststes Government in wishing to enroll
boys in the Boys Working Reserve is
not to secure the names of boys who
are willing to leave their homes to
work on farms and in essential indus
trial plants. The Government appre-
ciates the fact that there is an immense
amount of work which the boys through
out this country can do that will aid
materially in winning the war and it
wishes the boys to feel that they are
an important part of the great behind
the-lines in America.
In cases of emergency. arrangements
will be made to excuse boys from their
school duties in order that they may
engage in assisting to harvest perish
able crops, and this will be done in
such way as to avoid, as far as pos
sible, loss of standing in their studies.

CAMPAIGN
For BOARD OF TRADE

Editor, The Hustler:
If you can spare the space, I wish
to say a little IN regard to member
ship in the Board of Trade this year.
I believe you are reporting this week
something of Whathas been accom-
plished to date by he~membership
committee, so l will not enter into the
figures at this time. Suffice it to say
that the response has been very graft
flying to/the members of the COM
mittee who have worked so hard for
the past few weeks in order to make
the Board of Trade a really repre-
sentative body. A great majority OF
the business and professional men of
the town have already become mem
bers for this year. However, there
r a good many who have not yet
joined; largely because it has been
impossible for the committee to get
around to everybody. At the con-
clusion of the first quarter, which
will mean the first issue of your pa
per in April, it is the intention of the
committee to prepare a list for pub
LEGATION, which will show the names
of all members of the Board of Trade.
1t would be fine to have the united

Mills River Red Cross was held Feb.
%, at the home of Mrs. r. F. Huney-
cult.
After singing "America" with the
additional stanza, "God save our

works shall be- established: commit
thy works unto the Lord and thy
thoughts shall be established" was
adopted.
The chairman gave a very valuable
discussion of the preservation of our
work which we have committed to
God. We were urged to do only
what we could comfortably and to
maintain law and order in all that is
attempted.
Following these fitting remarks,
sentence prayers we're offered by the
members.
For the present, we will attempt to
carry on the work in four divisions.
To look after surgical dressings Miss
Marie Warlick was appointed; Miss
Daisy hurry will oversee the making
of hospital shirts; Miss Hattie Posey
is to supervise the making of paja-
mas; and the knitting department will
be in charge of Mrs. j. H. Burgin.
The last named committee decided to
give a hot supper at the school build
ing Friday evening, the. 9th inst, to
secure funds for knitting supplies.
The public is cordially invited to at
tend.
