Thy AL
Spring" as Geo. Washington once
said, "is with us again.
Are you interested in the modest
violets beside the messy stone? If so
you must read the campaign litrature
of DR.. Chas. Mccarthy of Madison Nc
Carthy thinks that now is the time to
elect a REAL Senator. Something of
Abe Lincoln type. Charles is the man
and admits it himself.
The truth is the most beautiful of all
things! What in the world compares
with it? To men without this cOncep-
ton of the Truth life is indeed a sor-
ry affair. But smooth and lighted are
the paths of those following as best
they can the nobility of this ideal.

How many men are afraid to speak
the truth that is in them nowadays be-
cause they fear it will hurt their bus
iness Many people are as honest as
can be in their hearts but they just
haven't the courage to say what they
think Try it ce-your friends will
like you better and your enemies re-
spect you even more.

81 am a pro-German!" What would
happen to man making that remark
today? Yet year or so ago many
people were prO-German because the
term meant a different thing then than
it does now. Then it meant sympathy
with a foreign country; now it means
aid and comfort to an enemy. A big
difference.

INDUSTRIESARE
PLACED IN FOUR
CLASSES IN DRAF 7
Producers of Food. Fuel. NUM-
tiOns and Ships Exempt.
PLANTS TO BE COMBINED
Only Those Men Who Are Actually
Essential TO Vital Industries
May Avoid Service.

Washington. Sept. S.-Bernard NJ.
Baruch, Chairman of the War Indus
tries Board, issued tonight list OF
industries which he said should re-
ceive preferential treatment under the
new selective service legislation. He
sets up four classes, which, he holds,
are essential to the conduct of the
war The list, Mr.. Baruch says, will
be the key to the situation which will
confront the nation. Food, fuel. muni-
tion factories, and shipping are, of
course, included In Glass l.
II is understood, however, that all
employees, even in the industries list
ed in the first class by the War In
dustries Board, will not receive de-
ferred classification en- masse, and
that employees, other than foreman and
highly skilled artisans, will be required
to prove to the local boards that they
are essential TO the conduct OF the
industry if they expect to avoid mill
tary service.
1t was the view expressed by the
Provost Marshal Generals Office it is
said. about the vital need of men to 60

Barauch and his advisers recently to
give out a statement TO the effect that

Naturally, where there are a
number of business divisions,
there are views expressed that
are both interesting and inspir-

the real keynote to commercial
prosperity. In this sense, the

be cheered and their spirits lifted
before they went over the top-be-
cause many were not to return"
Mr.. Ditch related the difference
between the French and Belgium
people, and the difference in the
mode of living. While in Paris, he
says, he had to pay so cents for a
bath and 80 cents extra for soap.
Hot water could only be had on Sat-
urdays and Sundays. Nothing to eat
could be had between lunch hours,
as the restaurants are closed, and if
you are not there at lunch hour, you
must go hungry until the next. All
places Of business and factories are
closed for two hours at noon.
Mr.. Ditch is very proud of his uni
form, and when he is talking to you,
he glances at it and swells with pride.
He has played great part in help
ing to win the war, for it was those
little reminders Of home and God
which the X. Of C. secretary brought
to the boys that gave them the cour-
age to whip and win, and, if need be,
to die.

of his adventures in full. The first
Of these will appear this week.
