Two Young Lady Patriots

Miss Pauline Woods, coun- ty recorder, and Miss Mar guerite Drumm, deputy re- corder, are very patriotic young ladies. They con tribute to every movement that will assist in the pro- motion of the war against the Hun, and in every way possible show their loyalty to the country. Both young ladies purchased Liberty Bonds, and a few days ago when they received their in- terest coupons they cashed them and gave the money to the Red Cross.
 This is only one of many examples that might be mentioned to show the thot- ful consideration of these young ladies for the com. fort our soldiers in France. Incidentally, it might be mentioned that Miss Woods is a candidate for election to the office of recorder, and her success is a foregone conclusion.

Farmers and the
 New Draft Law

Washington, D. C., Sept. 25 Under the rules ot the War De.
 partmeot for executing the new
 draft law, special provision is
 made for informing the district
 boards in regard to farm-labol requirements in order that ne.
 cessary food production may be
 maintained, says a statement issued by the Department of Agriculture, The statment con- tinues:
 In the new draft the district
 boards are charged with the
 duty of putting into deferred classes those persons who are likely to further the war by re- maining in civilian occupations than by entering the Army. Ac- cordingly, three advisors are to be selected for each district board one for agriculture. one for labor. and one for other oc- equations. The agricultural ad- wiser will be appointed by the board upon the recommends tion of the Secretary of Agri- culture. The duties of the ad- wiser will be to furnish to the board facts relative to farm labor requirements, and to ad- wise the district board as to a shortage or surplus of necessary farm workers for any district. This will make it possible to have necessary workers trans ferred from districts in which they may not be necessary to other districts in which they are sorely needed.
