 As its name implies, the United States Public Service Reserve is not an agency 10 secure immediate employ ment for its members It aims to have on hand a reserve of available men who. while staying at their posts n the industrial life of the country stand ready to go when the Govern ment notifies them that they can be of greater service elsewhere In cas. es where the Government asks men to change employment, it will do so only after adequate consideration of the in- i terests of their present employers. At the present time the Department of Labor is making provision for an ex- tension of the U. s. Employment Ser. vice in order to place in jobs those men who want immediate jobs. The Department of Labor is committed to the policy of supplying war industries first and, so far as it can. from the ranks of the unemployed. When qual- flied men out of jobs are not to be had and only then, will it seek to get men to shift from one employment to an- other.
 Enrolment does not bind the per. son enrolling to accept job from the Government, although it is hoped he will do so if a job is offered him. Neither does enrolment bind the Gov ernment to offer a job to the regis trant. At the time registrant is of fered job, he will be informed as to the wages and other working condit- ions. so he will then know whether or not he is in position to accept. Regis .rants will be furnished with mem- bership card and also with bronze button, as soon as the latter are re- ceived from Washington.

Patriotic Day.

On next Friday at noon there will
be Patriotic Parade of all the
schools of the county. The Chief OF
Police will lead the parade. This Or
der will be followed: Up Washington
to Calhoun; down Main to Liberty;
Liberty back to the School square. 1t
is most earnestly requested that the
school grounds and line of march
shall not be blocked at this time by
the parking of automobiles Every
one will be on foot except the Chief

the progress of the parade shall not
be interfered with in any way. This
is the children's day and nothing
should mar their happiness.
The speaker of the occasion is DR..
ID. w. Daniel of Clemson College. I
speak advisedly when 1 say that there
is not more popular speaker to be
found anywhere than Dr. Daniel. His
services are constantly in demand in
all sections of our country and we

are unusually fortunate in having
been able to procure his services for
our patriotic day.
The purpose is to make this day an
entirely patriotic ore. The whole at
tention of the day uas been concen-
trated upon only two features-the
parade and the address Every citizen
of Sumter old and young, should
come to the school, grounds at the
conclusion of the parade to hear Dir.
Daniels address and to participate
with the children in their patriotic
demonstration. We hope that the
people of the whole county will at
tend in large numbers as this is a pa
triotic parade and a patriotic day for
all the schools of the whole county.
Let every citizen Of Sumter county
determine to cooperate to make this
really red letter Cay in patriotic
demonstration.
Respectfully,

Washington. April 14.--Another
draft call for 49.si3 registrants has

ular army units there.
This call increases to more than
100000 the number OF selectnen or
dered to camp since late i'm March.
This Is far In excess OF the monthly
average that would have been mobi-
lized under the original plan to call
100000 men this year over a nine
month period. Future calls at the
same rate would complete the pro-
gram before midsummer.
Under President Wilson's determi-
nation TO hasten the dispatch of
American troops to France to rein
force the British and French armies
bearing the brunt OF the great Ger
man drives In Flanders and Picardy,
the whole program of the army Is
speeding up. Only n week ago Gen.
Crowdsr ordered mobilization of $50. .
900 selectmen for April rs and their
movement to the National Army can
tonments during the FIVE days follow
ling.
Further announcements are expect
ed TO follow the return of Secretary
Baker from his Visit to tho battle
fronts. TSoops now are moving to Eu-
rope at rapid rate and this clearing
OF training camps will permit of the
calling of men much faster than was
contemplated before the German Of
fensive made IL imperative to rush
men TO the battle fronts.
Although every State and the Dis
trict OF Columbia are called upon to
furnish men under General Crowder's
latest order. nearly half of the 4s,s43
men will come from seven States. IL

Potato Campaign.

lHCre are plenty or potatoes OF
hand now and they are a splendid
food. The forces of the Potato Army
of America are 115 100000 bushels
strong. They are fighting for Uncle
Sam and will do their part to help
whip the Kaiser. Will you help
them? If you're patriotic you'll eat
them.
One medium sized potato gives you
as much starch as two slices III
bread. When you have potatoes for
meal you need less bread. Potatoes
can save wheat.
They are excellent for your body.
They are good fuel. They furnish
starch which burns in your muscles
to let you work. They furnish you
with mineral salts which you need 20
build and renew the parts of your
body.
Last season the farmers responded
to their country's call and planted
more potatoes. Now they have Il
larger crop than ever before. All the
winter they have waited to be ship
ped but the trains could not, carry
them on account of the transportation
difficulties. Spring is here. The new
potatoes will soon be on the market.
The old crop must be gone to make.
room for the new. Eat potatoes and
help win the war;
To Boil Them.
Drop the unpeeled potatoes into
boiling salted water and cook 20 to
80 minutes. Drain the water off ut
once. If they are cooked too long or
allowed to stand in the water they get
soggy. Don't peel potatoes before
cooking. Time and potatoes are lost
by so doing.
