STATE DIRECTOR GUNTER
MAKES STRONG APPEAL


The Reveille has received the follow
ing letter from State Director Gunter
Of the War Stamp campaign:
Pleaseeonyey to the people in your
County through your press that II
may have the very widest publicity.
that the standing Of each County will
be published ia the press throughout
the State, the Counties will be listed.
and first will be shown their quotas
and written opposite that the amount
that they actually pledged to the
Government.
we appealed to the entire citizen
ship Of each County in the State Of
Mississippi, that there may not be a
single County in the State that might
not reach its quota; that when the
list IS published each County will have
gone over the top with a handsome
margin to it's credit.
We are sure that not a County
Director On the citizenship of any
County would like to see 4 list pub
hshed in which their County has not
responded to the call Of its Govern
ment, and done even more than its
Government had asked
Reports are SO fiattering and the
prospects are SO bright for a large
over-subscripti on the 28th, that we
believe that there viii not be Coun-
ty IN Mississippi that will fall below its
quota on June 28th."

After months Of preparation the
Austrians launched a great offensive
against the Italians on hundred

gained but little ground before the
Italians, assisted BY the French and
Britisha launched a counter offensive
which finally drove the enemy back
beyond his original lines. They were
driving the Austrians precipitately,
hut the swollen condition Of the piave

CATTLE DYING IN DIST, 2;
PROBABLY TICK EEVER

Several deaths Of cattle in the vest
ern part of the second district strong
W indicate tick fever -Four deaths
on Evon Johnson's place and scatter
ed deaths elsewhere in the neighbor-
hood were at first thought to be due
to charbon, and vaccinating on con-
siderable scale was resorted to, but
Inspector D. l. Bridgers and others
who know the symptoms Of Texas
fever are reasonable sure that ticks
have produced the deaths.
Mr.. Bridgers found ticks in the
johnson pasture, and he has quaTan-
tined this and the White Hall range
where large numbers Of stock belong
ing to B. G. Humphreys and Arthur
Moore are being pastured.
If it developes that that section Of
the county IS still infested it will be
big proposition to destroy the ticks.
Mr. Bridgers is there this week max

LET US HONOR THOSE
Who FALL In BATTLE

It has been suggested that mem-
orial service be held in honor Of Clai-
borne's first son to lose his life on the
battlefield Of France. The suggestion
came just as the writer was consider
ing the same thing, and no doubt
many people in the county viii also
feel that such a service would be very
appropriate. This service could be
followed up with others as the easu-
alties are announced. These services
could be held at stated intervals Of a
month apart, and the names Of the
local heroes Of the month preceding
might be honored BY the entire coun-
ty.
We hope the ministers Of the eoun-
ty will take the matter up, that we
might appropriately show our appre.

old COUNTRY HOMES

Some Of the ante-bellum homes Of
Claiborne county are being remodel
led and thoroughly repaired. Holly
Hill, near Russum, where probably
more social functions were held than
Of any country home in the county,
is being greatly improved by its
present owner, Mr.. r. B. Billingslea.
Glen Sade, also place Of many
hallowed recollections, now the home
Of MIR. Fred. s. Wallcot, is also I'M
dergoing many improvements.
The automobile, improved roads and
better farming have materially in-
creased property values in the coun-
trg, and no doubt many Of the fine
homes Of other days will be restored
TO their former condition as their
owners get in better circumstances
and new owners Of means move to the

Residences in town are also being
repaired, and some of the houses that
appeared almost worthless are made

TO REDUCE INDUSTRIAL AcCI
DENTS.
Department OF Labor Has "A Safety
Engineering Branch as Part of
Its Working Conditions
Service.

As a branch of the working eondi-
tions service of the department Of Ia
Dor, the division of safety engineering
will play an important part in adjust
ing conditions after the war. for stand
ards for the protection Of workers
have been carefully worked out.
Accidents are obviously traceable to
working conditions, and compensation
Legislation has put economic pressure
behind efforts TO prevent industrial
accidents by making ii more economi-
cal to protect employees than to pay
the costs Of accidents.
There are now in nearly all the
states of the union safety codes and
agencies charged with the establish
ment and maintenance of industrial
safety. Supplementing government
agencies. the National Safety council
and various technical societies have
accomplished much. The policy of
the working conditions service is to
avoid duplication of work and activi-
ties, and, by acting as co-ordinating
agency, to work with the agencies al
ready in the field in the national cam
paign for uniformity of safety stand
ards. practice and equipment. In this
connection the aim is toward the stand
ardization Of safety organizations and
Int VI
ards TO meet new conditions.
The bureau of standards will CO.
operate in the formulation of safety
codes, and the National Safety council
has appointed a committee of five for
consultation and advice. The codes
that are to be worked out under the
division of safety engineering will be
the result of experience and expert
mentation. consultation with technical
organizations and conferences with
employers and employees in order to
ascertain necessary practical modifi-
cations.
II is the intention of the working
conditions service to seek the co-opera-
tion of all agencies and organizations
concerned, directly or indirectly, with
working conditions, in order that all
standards shall be the result of care
fully considered judgments based on
experience in all lines of production.
Grant Hamilton, chief of the work
ing conditions service, says, in discus
ing this division:
There are three ultimate tests-hu-
man effects, production and industrial
organization. There is need for en-
ployers to understand that good busi-
ness demands conservation and devel-
opment of the workers whose mental
and physical ability measures the
quantity and quality of production.
There is need for workers to under
stand that good health, skill, good
management and care to prevent acci-
dents mean to them increasing mater
ial well-being and greater opportuni-
ties for Advancement"
