WORK FOR THE BOYS.

on this day iu every city town and hamlet in the country there begins National Enrolment Week for tho United States Boys Working Reserve. President Wilson has sent out the Call. to be answered by High school
 lows, those over sixteen years of age,
 who arc not otherwise employed when tho farming season begins. TNose arc the young fellows who axe wanted to help raise the crops which will eventually he sent to the Ameri- can soldiers in France. TO speed up his production of foodstuffs every available hand will be needed on the farms this Spring and Summer
 , There are many interesting phases to farm work. any one of which will appeal strongly to tho young boys irIagination. Getting away from the
 city in the hot sultry days ahead and going to live In the great expanse Of 1 countryside where fresh air and sin- ] shine abound should encourage par , ents to see to it that their children ] t2ke an active part in this work, Those who personally know good i farmers, men who have quiet, out-of~ 1 the-way land to be cultivated, can l asily get in touch with their friends l and make arrangement for the boys | welfare. It is n privilege to serve the l nation while at the same time aiding ones own bodily health. A few months on the farm is infinitely bet ] ter for the growing boy than the same days spent lettering in the city 1 or even working in shut-in shops. Coming from the scenes of the l school-room. the average boy will | welcome the chance to aid in culti-
 Nating the nations food supply. Boys 1 thus volunteering for farm work will ] be taken care of in great shape by 1 he mon who are anxious to lend a 1 helping hand to Uncle Sam in the work of winning the war, and plant l ing and harvesting crops is just as l much war work AS that performed on 1 the actual firing lines of European | battle-felds. For. if the soldiers at l the front do not havc the necessaries l 0f life they will not he able to fight. The United States Boys Working
 i Reserve will have a permanent effect
 CT the life of the nation if 1t but
 1 teaches the young fellows the value
 cf farm work. Eventually, these
 ! same youngsters are lfa ble to lead the
 "oa ok to the farm" movement whic},
 tho country has been looking for all
 ! these long years.

POLES PROTEST IN
 VIGOROUS TERMS
Objection to Partition Of the New
 Republic Of Ukraine

At largely attended mass meet ing in the Sacred Heart of Jesus school hall yesterday resolutions vigorously protesting against the pro- posed new partition of Poland were 1dopted. The disapproval of the To- cal Poles to such a proposition is expressed in the following resolution:
 WHEREAS the stupendous sacri- ices In blood and material resources cntAilCd by the present war would NeHn nothing but T blind, insane slaughter and destruction if they did ret lead to d higher order Of inter nr tional justice, and
 14EREAS these higher aims have Oecn clearly defined by the allied na- tinns in the sense Of full justice and ;itertv to every nation, whether great or small, and as the chief principle of the new order which is the re- suit from this war it has been stated that no government should be al- lowed to exist which does not derive '+T powers from the consent of the governed, and
 WHEREAS the only settlement of tnc Polish question acceptable to the Polish people and compatible with (llt pr1nClplcS aDOVe outlined IS the union of all Polish provinces, inhab- tied by indisputahly Polish popula- tiCn, into an independent sovereign ,'oliah state, having free access to the sea, as propOscl by Fresiden Wilson in his statement of the war aims of the United States.
 RESOLVED that we, the Polls h people of the City of New Britain, as s~nbled at a mass meeting at the Sacred Heart of Jesus hall on 17th "f March, 1918, hereby voice our pro- test against the new partition Of Po- and in adjudging ethrographically Polish provinces to the new Republic "f Ukraine, without the consent of their inhabitants and that we refuse to recognize all territorial readjust- ments accomplished by the arbitrary order of the German conqueror under conditions of martial terror and com nulsion and confidently expect a. full measure of justice to Poland from the victory of the Allied arms.

The object in asking all patriotic woln-
en- Of ST. Mary to form War Savings
Stamp Clubs, is to reach every person in
the parish as quickly as possible. In or
der to do this, it is the judgment of the
officials that the forming Of these clubs
! be smplified. They suggest that ten
people, men, women and children (who
are not buying in SCHOOL,, sign the two
cards. The signer retains the blue card
and the woman forming the club keeps
the white card. When ten have signed,
tie up the white cards, file them away
for record. Take the w. S. S. book
let. fill in the two blanks on page 5. ANY
name desired may be used for the club.
The woman forming the club signs the
report as secretary. Any of the other
members may sign as president. This
officer will have no duties to perform.
Mail the completed report blank to Miss
Bessie Sanders, Franklin, La.
The holding of meetings, keeping re-
ports or selling Of the stamps afterwards,
is optional.
"There is a government reason for
getting the blue and white cards signed
as quickly as possible, said Parish Di-
rector Kramer. Accomplish this and
YOU need not worry about the balance of
the work. - The signers can buy stamps
through the schools, postoffice or store.
If anyone wishes to buy War Saving
Stamps instead Of Thrift Stamps weekly,
it is Just as well-even better. Stamps
or S. certificates already bought will be
counted in the obligated average Of 25
cents per week.
