NOT A partisan ADMINISTRATION.
Republicans, PTogressigss and Independents
Called Into War Service by Wilson.

Hu plICttli tCli hii'tO II !
Wilson Admins trati0n is often
sively partisan is refnted by the
facts. The statement has been
m tde that only Democrats have
been called by tue President to
Washington to aid him iii the
great talk of winning the war.
Tuis statement has been repeat
ed so of1en in so many parts Of
tie country that it is fair to as
sume that the authors OF it sees
to create the impression that the
President takes The narrow View.
that only Democrats are worthy
of his confidence.
A perusal of the list Of prom
incnt Republicans, Progress aiyes
ant; independents nav engaged
in war work in the national cap
lLai furnishes convincing ;'rnnt
that the President has disre-
g,rded politics in selecting men
OF ability needed for WaT work,
While it is true that many D%m
ocrats of capacity are doing
their full share towards winning
the war, and have made great
sacrifices in order to serve the
country at this critical period, it
is equally true that men of o;her
political affiliations have answer
ed the caI of the President.
There are literally thousands
of m4nnnd women holding posi-
tiols 10 Washington today und-r
the Wilson Administration WHO
have consistently supported Re
publican candidates. The call
for help has been general and
the response has been. general.
Neither tho President nor ANY
of his cabinet has given any
thought to politics in choosing
men for responsible positions.

Law Says You Are Forty-five Until
FOrty-sixth Birthday Is
Attained.
There has been considerable dis
cussion as to the Interpretation OF
the new army draft law, requiring
all men between the ages of 1S and
As years to register on Thursday,
September ~. The official notice
issued by Provost Marshal General
E. H. Crowder makes this point OF
age plain. 1t reads:
eff on the day set you are one OF
the men between the ages of Is and
As (both inclusive) YOU MUST
REGISTER.
''This means that il your 18th
birthday comes on or before the day
set YOU MUST REGISTER.
''It means that if you have not
reached your 46th birthday on the
day set YOU MUST REGISTER.
"The only exception is that if you
are between the ages of 21 and 81
and you have already registered In
the previous draft or if you are now
in the United States Army or Navy,
you need not register.
Penalty for failure to register is
one year Imprisonment and no man
can exonerate himself by payment
of a fine. Ignorance of the law is
no excuse-it is your duty to find
out where to register and when to
register

Labor Scarcity Resulting in Great
Losses.

Labor Scarcity Resulting in Great
Losses.
The following from the Havre de
Grace Republican will apply to
numerous farms in this, as well as
other localities, and just where it is
to end is hard to determine, as the
boys are being steadily taken from
the farms as the draftees are called
to service
That the shortage of labor on the
farms is going to result in a material
decrease in the output of farm
products, seems inevitable.
We have heard of number OF
farmers in this section who have suf-
fered severely in the drafting of men
engaged in farm work.
One instance we might mention is
that of Mr.. George Worthington,
who has a farm of 1877 acres near
this city, whose help was called to
the colors on Tuesday.
Mr.. Worthington has eighteen
COWS and has been supplying milk
route, but has been compelled to
give up his route and now sells his
milk in bulk, thus depriving his Gus
toners of their regular supply.
Mr.. Worthington arises at two
o'clock in the morning, and milks
and feeds his cows, and works to 8
and 10 o'clock at night, on his farm.
His corn is being neglected, he
cannot pick his tomatoes, which by
the way, are the finest and largest
he ever had, and one-half of which
will rot on the vines, and what he
can pick, he can't get hauled away.
1t is physically impossible for any
one to stand this burden, and as a
consequence the food product will be
considerably lessened from this fine
farm, at least, and we know of sew
eral others who are in as helpless a
condition.
These conditions multiplied, as no
doubt they are, throughout other
sections of the country will cause a
great loss of valuable food which the
country can i'll afford.

High School Boys To Remain Out OF
School Until October.

The State Board of Education has
decided to ask the County Boards of
Education to permit boys to remain
out of high schools until October
14th, with the permission in each
case of their parents, to assist in re-
lieving the serious labor shortage.
1t is understood that such excuse is
to be granted only when the boys
are actually engaged in agricultural
pursuits or in some form Of indus
trial war work. The State Board
is anxious that the boys be given
this opportunity, if they desire, to
work without jeopardizing their
standing in school or decreasing
their chances of promotion.

Thieves Strip Broken Automobile.

In rounding curve Thursday
evening, the automobile Of John
Moore of Upper Oxford, struck an
abutment on the side of the pike and
overturned. The accident occurred
midway between Nottingham and
Barnsley and one rear wheel was so
badly smashed that they were forced
to leave the machine until the fol-
lowing morning. Thieves evidently
passed the car during the night and
when Mr.. Moore came for it the next
morning, the machine had been COM
pletely stripped. Three tires, the
radiator, the spark plugs, spark coil,
carburetor and intake manifolds had
been taken off, in fact everything
was gone that was movable. The
one tire was not taken because it
was on the broken wheel. Thus far
no clue has been found to the ident-
ity of the thieves. Adams Garage
purchased the car as it stood along
the road.-Oxford News.
