About 100000 women have signed, but
100000 have not, and the campaign
will continue until every one of the
100000 have either signed or positively
refused to do so. In some of the coun.

names Of those who sign. In those
counties everybody knows that those
whose names are not printed are not

Save Food

In an interview today, Fred. M
Sackett, the Federal Food Administra.
tor for Kentucky, said that the active
cooperation he was receiving from the
people Of the state in all the efforts
which the Administration at Washing.
ton was making to insure adequate
supply Of foodstuffs and equitable dis.
tribution at fair prices, was intensely
gratifying. In war times prices of all
foodstuffs are high, yet high prices in
duce large production, and 1t is guam.
tity of food that this country needs
today. Whatever sacrifice of personal
gain is being made is by our people
who produce our needed food, is but
the tribute Of the man and woman at
home to our boys who have gone from
every community to fight for our free
dom and our liberties.

National Registration Planned by the
Department of Labor.

Washington, Feb. National
registration Of women available for
work on farms Is planned by the De-
partment Of Labor as one of the
steps in a campaign to secure a suf-
ficiency OF farm labor for every sec
ton OF the country during the COM
ing season.
A. l.. Berkman, chief OF the divis-
ion OF farm service. announced to-
night that every effort would be made
to meet the expected shortage Of
farm labor by plan to mobilize the
available men and women in every
community In the country. Heavy
SHOWS in the Middle West, he said,
would mean large wheat crop, and
If the favorable weather continued
one Of the biggest yields on record
may be expected.
A special farm service man will be
stationed In most Of the 81 Federal
employment agencies of the country,
Mr.. Berkman said, and, in addition,
post Offices Of all the farming COM
munities will be used as recruiting
Offices, the postmaster or some other
representative citizen acting as COM
munity labor agent.
Shortage in East.
"'rhe most serious farm labor
shortage last year was in the east"
said Mr.. 'Berkman. "The industries
there filling war orders took men
who otherwise would have been
available for farm work by the. offer
Of attractive wages. The farmer will
have to increase wages much more
than they have to get men to come
from the cities. They have not rails
ed wages anywhere in proportion to
their increase in profits.
"Women,' Mr.. Berkman contin-
udd, "will be needed for truck gar
dening, fruit gathering, dairying and
other light forms of labor, but they
will not be called upon for the heavy
work so long as men are available.
"The college girls and the women
Of the leisure classes who are ready
to respond to call for workers as a
matter of patriotic. service" Mr..
Berkman said, must be depended
upon chiefly for the women labor
that will be needed"

New Liquor Scheme.
(The State, Jan. 3lst.)

Officers Wilson and IIinnant seized
three valises that had been lowered
from moving train on the SeabOard
The officers had reason to believe
that liquor was being unloadcd from
trains before they reached the sta
ton and early yesterday morning
they hid out near the Lincoln Street
tres'le to await the coming OF pas
senger train from the South. The
train came in sight and the officers
saw three valiSes being lowered from
a window by the use OF q rope. The
train rolled on while the grips laid
on the ground. Presently two men
walked up and were in the act Of lay
ing hands on the valuable baggage
when the policemen interrupted the
movement. The men made dash
ana succeeded in making their es-
cape. but the grips and contents were
cartcd to the police barracks to await

Death of Miss Eliza Einchcr.

Mountain Rest. Jan 3l.--Special:
On the | 18th Of this month, about i
O'Clock in tho afternoon, the death
angel entered the home OF II. l.. Wis
sage for the second time within Il
month and took thcrefrom the spirit
OF Miss Eliza 'l'incher.
Aunt Eliza. as almost every one
who knew her called her. had been
in Il helpless condition, almost all
the time for the past six years. Six
years ago she suffered stroke of
paralysis, from which she never re-
covered. She was indeed Il patient
SUFFERER, always gentle and pleasant.
with Il resignation that was beauti-
tul and touching to see. She was
truly disciple pf the Saviour she
loved. Many Il time, when depressed
with troubles, we would look on the
dark side OF life. She led us to see
the beauty OF religion more forcibly.
She united with the church in early
life and had ever since lived an ex-
cmplary Christian life. AS long as
she was able to go. wherever there
was sickness or suffering she was
sure to be found there, minist ering
unto them. She will surely hear her
Lords well done, good and faith
ful servant"
She was preceded to the grave by
her three brothers and is survived by
two sisters-Alrs. Malissa Vissage,
with whom she had made her home,
and Mrs. frankie Craig. Of Alabama,
and two half-brothers, Tim Fincher,
OF Belmont. and Jim Fincher, OF
somewhere in the West.
Since her illness she had been
cared for by her nephew. r.. l.. Wis
sage, and sisters. Although on ac-
count Of the condition of the wea-
ther and roads, it was impossible for
her pastor, Rev. w. r. Belyin, to be
present, she was laid to rest in the
Double Springs cemetery on Janu-
