LOAfERS TO Be DRAFTED

If there is anything in rumbliDgs
that come from the direction of
Raleigh and Washington. labor
"slackers" in Jackson county have
shock coming to them. The full
utilization of all labor is just as
essential to the winning of the war
as the work of engineers and the
fighting of the other branches of
the army in France. This. at least
is the opinio that government Of
fcials are coming.
The rumblings from Raleigh are
in the form of letters from State
Food Administrator Henry A. PAGE
to local authorities urging the rigid
enforcement of the law against va
,rancy. The State Food Admins
traitor states that it is highly desir-
able that labor in each community
should be utilized for the production
Of food In that community and that
the local farmers are first entitled

boys who have not been regularly
employed or who are filling posi-
5 tions which might just as well be
filled by women and girls.
Labor is needed, however, in ship.

! industries and the presumptionfrom

Abdul the Damned

I stood by Abdul Hamid's
grave, faf>from the world wars
storm, and saw the johnny
jumpsups wave above his sleep
ing form. By all the nations he
was slammed, when he was on
his throne; the world pro-
nounced him doubly damned
and named him with a groan.
Now all unhonored Abdul lies
in his eternal sleep, and greater
criminals arise, and he looks
pretty cheap. And Abdul had
his points, methinks, some vir-
tues him adorned; he was not
like some royal ginks-hypocrisy
he scorned. He did not blush to
wade in sin, he wallowed in his
shame; he did not say, with evil
grin, that others were to blame.
He did not pierce a country's
breast with snickersnee or
creese, and swear he always did
his best to keep the world at
peace. He did not, from his
filthy den, watch babes and
women shot, and harrow up the
souls of men with talk of Me and
Gott. The dripping sword, the
burning brand, were busy meath
his flag; but not a moment did
he stand to. spring The kultur
gag. ! stood by Abdul Hamid' S
grave, and said Il must admit
he didn't piously behave, and
failed to make a hit; we should
not judge him here below, he's
reached a higher court; but,
lined up with one king l know,
he was dead game sport"
