Congress has recently passed
an act known as The Act OF
December Goth, 1917" granting
leaves Of absence, during the
pendency of the existing war, to
homesteaders, to enable them to
engage in farm labor on lands
other than those embraced in
their homestead claims, which
labor may be in connection with
lands owned by themselves.
Every person intending to avail
himself of the privileges of this
Act must, within fifteen days
after leaving his homestead, file
at the United States Land Office
a notice that he has left the land,
pursuant to the provisions of said
Act, for the purpose of perform
ing farm labor elsewhere. On
or before February 1st of each
year he must file at said office a
written statement, under oath,
cOrrODOrated by TWO WITNESSES,
with regard to such absence or
absences during the last preced-
ing calendar year. Said state
ment must contain the date or
dates when he left his claim, the
date or dates of his return there
to, also the name or names OF the
places where he was engaged IN
farm labor during the period or
periods of his absence. and the
name or names of the persons
for whom such labor was per
formed. Unless he complies with
these conditions he will not be
entitled to the benefit of the Act.
The Act does not excuse the
homesteader from full compliance
with the law with respect to cul-
tivation of his land and the
erection of habitable house
thereon.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
OF this place, writes: 'T am a user
OF Thedford's Black-Draught. in fact.
1t was one of our family medicines.
ALSO III my mothers home, when
was cnild. When any of us child
Een complained Of headache, usually
caused Dy constipation, she gave us
uose OF black-Draught, which would
rectlry the trouble. Often in the
spring, we would have malaria and
ch1lls, or troubles Of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted we'll, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it,
for it certainly has saved us lots of
doctor bills. Just a dose of Black
Draught when not so well saves a
lot Of days In bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat
ment Of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys Is proof of it's merit.
If your liver is not doing it's duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.,
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts in prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of
impurities. Try it. Insist on Tied
ford's. the original and genuine. e 20

Coming -"The Fight
ing TraiI"- MAY 9TH

The Fighting Trail" the
Greater Vitagraph serial which
will begin it's run at the Jen-Dike
Theatre on May Z, is said to be
the most remarkable thing of the
kind ever produced. 1t is a
story of mystery, intrigue, love
and adventure-with accent on
the latter-set in the vast reach
es of the American mountains.
Of the $4,000 feet of film which
make up the fifteen episodes of
the play, only a few feet, it is
declared, show interiors. All
the rest of it is outdoor photo
graphy and for this reason it has
been labelled 'the first about
door serial ever made. /"
Most of the scenes were taken
in the Yosemite Valley and other
sections of the Sierra-Nevadas
and the picture is said to contain
some of the finest mountain
photography ever registered by
the camera. William Duncan,
remembered for his splendid
work in Through the Wall'
and other big Vitagraph fea-
lures, directed the picture and
played the leading role. The
heroine is Corol Holloway. 9th
ers in the cast are George Holt,
Joe Ryan, one of the greatest
riders in the world, and Walter
Rodgers.
An unique feature of the big
serial is that Miss Holloway is
the only woman character in the
picture, and with the exception
of a few crowd scenes, the only
one who appears in it.
The picture was eight months
in the making and more than
l, 900 persons were used in one
scene-the burning of a town.
For this a modern town with
more than 200 buildings was
built just to have the torch ap-
piled to it.

GIRL CUTS WOOD TO
AID THE RED CROSS

WELLS RIVER, VT, March g.
Ways and means of earning money
On a Vermont farm in winter are not
plentiful, and $50 does not grow on
every bush, as any native son will
testify, but high school girls who
wished to earn that amount for the
Red Cross accomplished the task
within three days. Miss Catherine c.
Dow, who is fifteen years of age, de-
cided on her way home from School
Friday night that saving pennies was
too slow a way of doing something
substantial for the Red Cross, so she
determined to cut a, cord of wood.
BY Saturday night she had her wood
cut and split and ready to haul out
of the woods and Monday noon she
brought the load to town. Dressed in
her wood-cutting suit, rough tweed
knickerbockers, wooden sweater and
red toboggan cap, the girl took her
standbeside the wood pile in the pub
lie square and proceeded to hold an
Informal auction.
Her pluck aroused the admiration
of the villagers and the bids mounted
TO unheard of proportions even in
these times of high fuel prices, By
tie end of the afternoon the load had
be en- sold for $5125 to Woodsville
young woman, and Miss Dow had turn
ed the money over to the local Red
Cross treasurer

ARMY SPECIALISTS
IN URGENT DEMAND

WASHINGTON, March 29.The re-
Quirements of the branches of the new
national army for specialists has far
exceeded expectations. No less than
100000 men skilled in the technical
arts are wanted, but the requisition
probably will be trimmed down to
more moderate proportions.
1t is recognized, however, that I'M
der the changed conditions of warfare
the demands for men trained in the
scientific branches will increase. To
meet the situation the War Depart
ment is planning to detach suitable
men in groups of 400 to 500 from their
units to be sent to technical schools.
An educational committee, co-operat-
ing with the Federal Vocational Board,
has been making a survey of insti-
tutions adapted for the training of
lprge groups of men. and it is un,
derstood that the assignment of the
soldiers will begin next month.
No advance information is avail
able as to the date when another
Quota Of drafted men will be called
to the colors, 1t is expected that the
announcement of the new apportion-
ment will be withheld pending the en-
actment Of legislation by Congress,
The necessity for keeping the men
n owing to the camps is so great that
they will be called in service from
time to time to fill up the various
units or take the place of attachments
sent abroad without waiting for legis-
latiol4.
The provost marshal generals Of
flee has instructed local draft boards,
to overdraw their quotas wherever
necessary to meet the demands. Such
ouerdrafts will be deducted from the
rext quota.

GERMANS CHANGING
ON ALSATIAN ISSUE

Is LONDON, March Symptoms re-
garded in some quarters here as in
dlcating that the German government
is preparing the public for some
change of front on the Alsace-Lor-
raine question are found in some of
the German newspapers. Macmillan
Harden recently launched the first sug-
gestion of this in his Zukunft and his
condemnation of the traditional Ger
man attitude was neither censored nor
challenged. Professor Delbrueck fol-
lowed in the same strain in one Of
the leading reviews, apparently feel
Ing out the public pulse.
AS there was still no serious reac-
ton. another leading publicist, Pro-
fessor Martin Fassbender, has just
added another contribution along the
same line, which is particularly sig
nificant owing to the fact that Fass-
bender is a close personal friend Of
the German Emperor, and has often
been spoken of in the list of the
private advisors"
Professor Fassbender's article ap.
pears in the Deutsche Politik. It
says, in part:
The French base their claims to
Alsace on the fact that the Alsatians
are attached in their hearts to France.
This, unfortunately, is only too true.
The reproach levelled at us. that we
do not understand how to assimilate
conquered territories, is we'll founded
and it phenomenon which merits our
best attention
I'm 1859 Colbert wrote to his broth
er, the first Administrator of Alsace.
exhorting him to treat the Alsatians
better than the inhabitants of Ger
many were treated by their rulers. At
the same time he urged the clergy
to use their influence to induce the AL
satians to become good Frenchmen.
The consequence was that in 1875,
when the German troops entered AL
SAGE, they met not with complete in
but active hostility on the
part OF the inhabitants of that pro-
vince
With US Germans, an administra-
ton of such a nature is impossible
Ours is a regime which admits no
change Hence, when the function
aries of such a regime treat the in
habitants badly. it is difficult to con
ciliate them and eren fore difficult to
assimilate them.
THAT is why Alsace-Lorraine will
always remain sore in the German
