by boys under this age who have APP

T. Mccain has issued the following
circular letter:
"The large number of applications
received from parents and guardians

MOVIE PICTURES
SENDING LABOR
TO THE FARMS.

Nearly every motion picture thea
. tire in the country is enlisted in the
campaign of the United States En-
rloyment Service of the Department
of Labor to supply labor to the farms.
The estimated total patronage of the
theatres is about 60,000,000 persons.
Eleven of the largest motion pic
ture manufacturers are cooperating
with the Farm Service Division in it's
drive for maximum food production.
These film producers are pleasing to
their charlottesville theatres =
moving picture "trailers," calling on
all those who possibly can do so to
volunteer with the Employment Ser
vice for harvest work and other forms
Of emergency farm labor.
Three sample trailers, each about
25 feet long and running on the
screen for about one minute, are
sent to each film manufacturing
company weekly, the c)loany slect-
ing one to go with its current re-
lease Through their national asso-
cation the manufacturers work as y
unit in distributing the trailers, re-
leasing them among their subscribers
so there can be no overlap.

STUDENTS WARNED
NOT TO BURN
MIDNIGHT OIL.

The supply of kerosine will run
short next winter and the government
is urging every user to do his part
toward making every gallon to do full
war duty by giving forth it's full
measure of light and heat. Saving
can be accomplished, it is said, only
if care is given lamps, heaters and
stoves.
The director of oil conservation of
the United States Fuel Administra-
ton issues these rules for fuel-oil
saving:
Keep all lamps and lanterns clean.
Let the light out; don't confine it be-
hind smoked and dirty lamp Chin
neys.
See that burners and wicks of all
oil burning devices are clean. Clean
burners require less oil and give bet
ter lights.
Don't allow a lamp, lantern, heater
OF stove to burn minute longer
than is necessary. Don't light one
you can do without.
Don't use coal oil for cleaning pur-
poses. Hot water will do the work.

WRITES OF ARMY LIFE

During my seven weeks in Camp
Pike, | have noticed some things that
may be of interest to the folks at
home, but seldom mentioned in camp
life.
The repeated requests from some
of my correspondence, for me to tell
them something of camp life, has
caused me to investigate what | have
many times thought of doing but
would let the task drop with the
thought, and there would stay until
would get another letter with the
same request. There are many
things that may be of interest to
those wo do not understand, and ma
ny that may be of interest to few,
or none, and that may be of interest
to all and among the complications
of events l hardly know how to write
or express the general maneuvers of
the camp. Among all the events at
present the overflow of troops and
troop trains seems toFbe the most i'm
portant. | have been told that not
since the early days last fall when
Camp Pike was in the making, has it
seen buster times than now. At the
least estimate there were more than
$4,000 men in camp, and troop trains
still arriving every day.
Counting the delegation from Camp
Beauregard, which entered the 4th
Officers Training Camp here, there
are more than one thousand new
men in Central Officers Training
Camp. A new class of 1000 men will
start each month in order to meet the
demand for more barrack room for
this overflow of men, and the ones
that are arriving every day, all the
carpenters, plumbers and electricians
of the camp have been striving to get
the Belmont Camp, which is just out
side of the limits of Camp Pike, in
readiness for the demand for more
room. Over on South Boulevard
several white companies are quartered
in the open stables formerly used by
the old 87th regiments for stock and
equipment. Conditions there are
very much like one might expect in
real warfare. The cooks are using
field kitchens and while they may
have more flies than their brothers
in the Balkins, no one has to scrub
the floors, walls and wash down the
windows. Most of the stable men are
under quarantine for measles and are
doing their drilling in their own back

THE WAR
FROM THE SIDE LINE.

Following is a letter received by
the Washington County Tennessee
Exemption Board. The man could
not read and write and asked his
wife to write letter stating that his
family was dependent on him. This
is what she wrote:
Dear United States:
My husband asst me to write you
Recommend that he supports his fam
lily. He cannot read, so don't tell
him, just take him. amt done
nothin' but drink 5nmon essence
land play the fiddle since married

get him to carry gun. He's good on
squirrels and eatin' Take him and
welcum. need the grub and his bed

yard. But you Dan look anywhere
and see columns of marching men,
some with rifles, some with heavy
marching packs, some in fatigue uni
forms, some still in civilian clothes,
but everywhere marching men,
zone, Two, Three, Four" The air
is full of it. Some are singing and
some are lucky to have wind enough
to navigate in home, with no We'd
nesday afternoon holidays and
couple of hours drill after supper
eacht except on Saturday and Sun
day nights. The soldiers are just
now beginning to realize what it means
to be in the army. They are leading
a much more strenuous life than any
of the previous units of Camp Pike.
But so long as the movement of the
troops to oversee points is between
$4,000 and 100000 men a month, it
is going to mean pretty fast work
in the drilling of men in the home
camps.
If | had the time / would like to
say little on the subject of mos
quitos, how they are caught and the
men employed in catching them and
the examination they go through af-
ter being caught. / am sure it would
seem like job to you, as it did to me
at first, but it is simply business
rrol osition.
AS our time is limited in the Y.
NJ. c. A., in the hospital l will be
compelled to leave that to the future.
With best wishes to The Partisan
and all its readers. / am,
