PLACING LABOR WHERE
 TT IS MOST NEEDED

Little Rock, Oct. 2.-The Commun- ity Labor Boards, the State and County Councils of Defense, the United States Employment Service, and other agencies are engaged in the difficult task of placing labor where it is most needed for war es- sentials, and at the same time not interfering with essential industries of a civilian character.
 It is big problem in Arkansas, as throughout the country, and is accen- tuated here by reason of the heavy demands for labor at Camp Pike Picron and other government works. The situation is being met very well, although not as it should be; not withstanding the strenuous efforts of the authorities There is still need for more men.
 One of the recent orders says:
 Ut is important that no man who is necessary to an industry which Is necessary for one of the purposes specified in the selective service law by reason of being especially fitted for the work in which he is engaged or by reason of being a highly spec ialized expert or assistant, associate or sole manager or controlling ar! directing head of an industry, or manager of a substantial or integral part thereof, should be taken.
 "In the past employers in necessary industries have hesitated to make and claims for fear they would be accused of partiality among their em- ployes. It should be brought home to them that it is their patriotic duty to make distinction among their em- ployes and to claim deferred classiti- cation for those necessary or key men. especially fitted for the work in which they are engaged or highly specialized experts, managers or dl- recting heads, and not to make any claim for men who are not such

Faces Courtmartial For
Shipping Wrong Body

Lexington, KY, April 12.-Because
he was negligent in giving instruc-
tions regarding the sending of a
Pennsylvania soldiers body home
from Camp Taylor, KY, Cap
tain Cement Frey, of the quarter
masters department at the Ken
lucky cantonment, is facing a general
court martial.
Private Ferdinand Alvey, of Har-
risburg, Pa, member of the 33Sd
Infantry, died at Camp Taylor and
the body was ordered sent home. A
sergeant appealed to Capt. Fry for
instructions, and through error the
body of a negro was sent, it is al
legged, to Harrisburg in place of AL
vey's, as it was said to have been
the only body in the morgue at the
time and no name was given.
Frey who pleaded not guilty. is
charged with negligence and violat-
ing the ninety-siXth article of war.
The city directory does not give
the name of Ferdinand Alvey nor
does any of the rosters of soldiers
who have left the city give any in
formation concerning him.

PAUSE AND THINK

DAUsE; think. Well. what are
you thinking about? Are you
thinking of how you can spend
your wages or salary next Saturday?
About the new suit, dress, hat or silk
shirt which you wish to acquire =?
About the good time you expect to
have over the weekend, even if it
does entail railroad fare and other
expenses? Or. on the other hand,
are you giving though to the present
conditions prevailing in your Coun-
try, and how much your future de-
pends on what YOU are willing to do
FOR your government now when it
needs your help?
Are you thinking of that brother
cousin or friend who is Offering his
life in order that he and YOU may
live happily as you have been doing /?
Do you think he does not count on
your backing? Are you going to
fool him? You are not. You are
going to cut out some, if not ALL ex-
travagant and useless waste of the
money you work for and when YOU
think about it, it is surprising how
much You spend for useless, extra
VACANT things you don't need and
can just as well do without
When you think of it, you are 60
ing to invest your money in the only
safe thing in the world to-day.
Liberty Bonds. And some day you
are going to get it back, and think.
what satisfaction it will be to feel
and know that you have done your
duty, and with that consciousness
look squarely and bravely in the eyes
of all the men and women you meet.
If you are still thinking, Just think
how it will be if you don't get bond
or two, as many as you can. VIII
you be using the side streets and
avoiding your friends and business
acquaintances? Will you be think
ing of some excuse to offer when you
must know there is no excuse?
The Third Liberty Loan provides
you with an opportunity you can't
afford to miss, and the President of
these United States and all the peo-
pie of Harrisburg expect you to do
your part. Wake up and get into
the game, and do. it now.
