TAKE PEPTIR0N NOW
Needed in the Spring by Pale, Weak,
Nervous People.

Peptiron is in the form of pills,
! chocolate coated, pleasant to take,
easily assimilated, and is the most
successful combination of iron of
which its makers, c. I. Hood Co,
Lowell, Mass, have any knowledge.
You must have an abundance Of
iron in your blood if you are to be
keen, quick and fit in the battle of lie,
o~e-come obstacles and know no s. h
t,,..ag as failure. For several reasons
lax OF iron in the blood is more
noticeable in the Spring than at any
other time.
Besides iron, Peptiron includes
persin, nux, celery and other tones,
nerve helps and digestives. 1t gives
strength, color and body to the
blood: reddens pale cheeks, steadies
the nerves, improves the digestion,
nourishes and gives stamina to the
whole body.
1t is the tonic Spring medicine for
you and for your family-especially
good for spindling boys and girls.
Take it this Spring.

FARMERS WARNED
To Hurry Action to Place Workers in De
ferred Draft Class.
Frorh Official Bulletin.

Frorh Official Bulletin.
The following statement has been is
sued by the United States Employment
Service of the Department of Labor:
A new draft of about go, 900 men short
will be called to the colors The Pro-
vost Marshal General has ordered that
men actively, assiduously and complete
ly engaged in planting or cultivation of
crop. but who are listed in Class l of the
draft and within the new quota, should be
deferred until the end of the new quota.
Is Necessary to Make Affidavit.
The local draft boards being judicial
bodies, can not defer the call of such
men, however, unless the farmers en-
ploying them support their claims for
such deferred classification with affida-
Wits. 1t is therefore of vital Importance
that farmers Immediately execute and
file such affidavits with the local boards.
Immediate Action Urged
If farmers whose hands are affected in
this new call fail to follow this advice.
they should have no cause for complaint
if their men are taken from them at this
critical time 1t will be useless and I'M
reasonable later to protest if they have
done nothing to retain their help. I'm
er whose employees are affected is essen
tial and should not be delayed under any
circumstances.
Agricultural Labor
There are difficulties confronting the
nation in the supply of labor appurtenant
to agriculture. Class /, from which new
levieS are to be withdrawn, will contain
many more men than are at present re-
CURED for the Army. It would be most
in Class | were called unfortunately
without the regard to the labor situation
in agriculture Therefore the local boards
will be directed to fill their quotas in the
order of liability of men in Glass as de-
termined by the National drawing, ex-
cept that where it is shown that reg
istrant is completely and assdously en-
gagged in the planting, cultivation or reap
ing of crop, his call to the colors shall
be deferred to the foot of the quota Of his
board as long as he continues to be SO en-
gagged
Whenever any registrant whose call to
the colors has been deferred by reason of
his engagement in agriculture is shown to
have been idle on the farm on which he is
engaged or 10 have trifled with the defer
ment that has been accorded him, the
boards will forthwith nduct him into
military service if his order nuraber has
been reached in the mean time. The eff
feet Of this expedent is to grant fur
lOughs from service prior to actual call to
the colors to the men so greatly needed
in the production Of this years crop.

The Reason.

Ten-year odd Dicky did not always err
on the side of politeness, but his repartee
was infallible. One day he was sitting
on stile, unconcernedly munching an
apple, and made no attempt to make way
for the vicar, who was crossing the field.
"Dicky, my lad" said that worthy cleric,
sI'm afraid you are better fed than taught.
"Dare say l be-" retorted the urchln,

Faithful Unto Death.

A little, dried-up negro boy had become
very much attached to his lieutenant.
He had been heard to say that he would
follow him through France or anywhere
else. Our camp religious work director
attended religious meeting which was
being held at the colored barracks. He
noticed that Sam was very much inter
ested in the service and asked him if he
would like to 60 to heaven. Sam said
"No, sab, l jes' aims to 60 long wild dc

THE WAR.

The German drive has been halted.
This does not not mean that the Germans
have been defeated. If we consider only
the advance which they have made
towards Paris, we must admit that they
have won a victory. If they have lost
men in the proportion to our losses of 2
to they have been beaten. If the re-
serve army which Gen. Foch is said to
have, really exists, strikes hard, at the
right time and in the right place, the Huns
will be driven back and a great Allied
victory will be won. The events ana
