OF INTEREST TO THE
BOYS WORKING RESERVE

Prof. VIM. A. McGuff, local en-
rolling officer for the United States
Boys Working Reserve is III receipt
of a supply of requisition blanks for
of the rank. These acquisitions must
be signed by Federal State Director
T. H. Harris and also by the local en-
rolling officer, before the uniform
can be issued.
The uniform of the Boys Work
The purchase of the official unifrom
ing Reserve consists of hat, coat,
shirt, belt, breeches and leggings. The
price of the unifrom is $3.50, which
is virtually the manufacturing cost.
So far there are only 16 white
BOYS enrolled in this branch of the
reserve. There are many more boys
who should enroll, and will, as soon
as they see their compatriots diked
out in the nobby new uniform which
has been selected to identify them
with the work of the nation.

Miss Nettie May Maxtield, Mr..
Dement'S efficient office assistant,
introduced in Lake Charles the GUS
tom which prevails in the factory cit
les of the north and east, custom
which bears the endorsement Of the
National government.
Miss Maxfeld had to brave the
scorn of her parents and relatives
who stoutly objected to her new at
tire. When asked about her duties
she replied: 81 take care of the en-
CINE, wait on customers, work at the
typewriter when necessary, make out
bills, and do whatever there is to do
about here, and when there is moth
ing else to do | knit on sweaters or
socks for the soldiers"
Mr.. bennett apparently has val
liable assistant, for young lady who
has the stamina to flaunt new Gus
tom, no matter how fitting the Gus
tom may be, is bound to have quail
ties of perseverance, efficiency and a
thoroughness which marks the mod
ern business woman. We would like
to wager, too, that this young lady
has little time to worry with suffrage
problems.

FERGUS ROMERO.

A telegram received by relatives
here announced the death early Mon
day morning of Fergus Romero at
rrummondsville, Quebec, Canada. 1t
IS presumed that Mr.. Romero died
from the effects of the influenza al
though the message did not give the
cause. Burial took place at Drum
mondsville
A letter from Beatrice Romero to
her grandfather, Mr.. Eloi Hebert, a
short time ago told of her mother be-
ing in the hospital suffering with the
Spanish influenza, but stated that she
was improving. Mr.. Romero was not
mentioned as being i'll at that time
and in consequence it is presumed
he was victim of the influenza.
The family left here some three
years ago for Akron, Ohio, and af-
ter a stay of year there removed
to Drummondsville, Canada, where
Mr.. Romero was employed with the
Layne & Bowler Co. 1t is under
stood that Mrs. Romero and daughter
Beatrice will return to Welsh soon.

We notice a few newspapers are
publishing list of their communities
bond buyers. That list should, OF
course, be d directory OF the COM
munity'S producers. The topic should
be covered by the mere statement that
everyone bought all the bonds they
could afford to. We would prefer to
publish, instead, a list of all those in
the community who could have bought
bonds but did not, or bought small
amount when they were able to buy
more Patriots do not buy bonds for
the purpose of gaining publicity, al
thong meritOuS deeds should in every
instance be heralded. To cover such
general practices as bond buying a
phrase was patented few years ago;
