Thursday that the national selective
service machinery must speed up
Operations Immediately to make it
possible to get men from the new

Outlining in changes in methods
adopted to that end, General Crow

their order of call, and that local
boards would be urged to commence
classification Immediately. Ques-
lions relating to the order of call and
to the time of drawing General Crow
der set aside in discussing the subject
leaving only the intimation that
these would be announced shortly.
1.-THE necessity of filling the Oc-
tober acquisitions either in part or
! in whole out of the electives to
be obtained under the new classifi-
cation" General Crowder said after
explaining that a few class ! men

forward to substantial speeding up in
the work of the local boards az that
stage of the, operation and indeed
from the very beginning of the task"
| To accomplish this, General Crow
der said, local boards are asked to
see that the return of the cards from
registration is as prompt as possible
and thereafter that the process OF
assigning serial numbers to the
cards is fastened.
Accomplishment of this work in
side of ten days now is asked, though
lin 1917 it took nearly thirty days.
1t may be possible to hold the draw
ing on Oct 2. General Crowder ex-
planned, but it cannot be started I'M
til the lists of serial numbers have
been completed by all boards.

SURPRISE G. A. r. CoMRADE.
c. r. johnson of Near Conover,
Given a Pleasant Surprise Last
Friday

The following interesting writeup
of trip out to the hospitable home
of G. e. Johnson, near Conover, was
written by one who was there, and we
Judge the day was thoroughly enjoy
ed by all:
September 18th was delightful
day, and goodly company composed
of ladies' of the G.. A. r., members OF
the Post and Relief Corps rode out
to the home of our old comrade C.
e. Johnson.
When the advance guard of this
force reached the fine hospitable
farm home, - the friends were sur
iprised, as the letter announcing
our coming had not yet arrived and
did not reach them until late that
day. However we received a royal
welcome from Comrade Johnson and
his interesting daughters. We were
given the keys of the house ESQ to
speak) and the freedom of the apple
orchard, which latter place we proper
lily investigated. In due time we went
to inspect and admire a fine herd OF
Herefords, some $50 in number, fat,
sleek and beautiful animals; to us
who occasionally see one COW, this
seemed an army of cows.
Next the fine buildings claimed
our attention, and one was new
rat-proof granary. We had read
much about rat-proofing, but this
was the first one we had seen.
We finally assembled in the large
dining room to partake of picnic
dinner, and the ladies of our company
who planned it, were careful that the
principles of food conservation should
be observed, and this We have learn
ed that a dinner fit for the most
fastidious epicurean may be served
and those principles not violated. We
noted upon the table were two large
pitchers of cream, showing con-
lclusively that Hereford cows gave
cream.
After dinner came the program.
Our host, Comrade Johnson, was
called for and he welcomed the COM
pany and expressed his pleasure
that we spent the day with them.
The comrades present responded
as they were called, with interesting
"reminiscences and present time COM
PARSONS. Others responded either
with readings, or talks upon some
subject, or with music, but the all
prevailing spirit of patriotic devotion
was maintained throughout. This
ended delightful day, one to be re-
membered and looked back upon
with pleasure. Those in attendance
from DEBORAH were: Mrs. Jennie
Frazer, Mrs. Drake and daughter
ICaddie, Mrs. Clarence Christen and
daughter Myrtle. l.. l.. yCouse and
wife, DIR. H. B. Amy, Mrs. Burt, Mrs.
Longstreet, Mrs. Nora Hayward, Mrs.
Cora Simpson. Mr.. Draper and wife.
and DR.. Harmon and wife.

Germany is now called upon to take
her choice of bowling to the tremen-

The army program means an Amer

VELVET BEANS SOLVE
SOUTH'S FEED PROBLEMS

The feed question is being solved
in many parts of the south by the
abundant yields of velvet beans which
were sown on large acreage this
year. Owing to the increased acre
age in Georgia, that state alone could
take care of $4,000 to 100 900 head of
cattle from states where forage is
scarce, according to a report recently
received by the Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates. Large quantities of last years
velvet beans also remain on hand and
are being used extensively in feeding
dairy cattle. In tests conducted by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture on the government farms at
Beltsville, Nd, it was found that vel
vet beans compare favorably with cot
ton seed meal, producing profitable
gains when the beans are the sole
concentrate of the ration; that COM
bination of corn silage and velvet
beans forms a satisfactory ration for
fattening steers for market; that it is
more profitable to feed soaked beans
than it is to grind them; and that
more beans will be eaten if soaked be-
fore they are fed than if they are
fed dry.

HUNDREDS OF THIN
PEOPLE GROW FAT

According to leading authorities, it
is no longer necessary for thin, frail
people to give up hope of becoming
strong, healthy and vigorous. 1t is
declared that Irogen, the new discov-
cry for building blood, is making stur-
dy men and beautiful healthy women
from human wrecks.
Ironge, it is said, overcomes dis
ease, and builds up the weakened sys-
tenn by supplying the element which
nature requires for the regenration
of blood and new tissues. Hundreds
are testifying daily that its results are
unusual and permanent.
Warning is given, however, that,
owing to its well known fiesh-building
powers, Irongen should not be taken
by anyone who does not desire to add
flesh.
-Note-Irongen, the product mention
ed above, is now on sale in Browns
vile by j. D. Curtis Drug Co., and in
Stanton by Stanton Drug Co.

PROPOSAL MADE By
AUSTRIA NOT SINQ5E
Meredly an Attempt to Divide Alhs
Replies Balfour to suggestier

London Sept 1S.-A. j. Balfourk the
British foreign secretary, giving his
personal viewpoints on the Arabian
peace move to visiting journalists,
said:
ut is incredible that anything can
come of this proposal"
Coming after the recent speech Of
Friedrich Won Payer, the German inn
perial vice-chancellor, Mr.. Balfour
said:
"This cynical proposal of the Austri-
an government is not genuine at
tempt to obtain peace. 1t is an at
tempt to divide the allies"
Mr.. Balfour said no one should take
upon himself the task of rejecting
with light heart any proposal which
would shorten the length of the war
He also declared that no coalition ever
had been so strong as the allied coali-
ton and that the enemy would not
succeed in breaking it.
Conversations such as were propos-
ed by Austria-Hungary, Mr.. Balfour
said, undoubtedly would have great
value under certain circumstances. He
said they would serve to smooth out
obstacles such as questions of pride,
but he declared that the questions now
between the belligerents were definite
ly defined.
81 am not taking the proposals of
two years ago or of last year, but Of
last week." Secretary Balfour said.
"The German vice-chancellor, speak
ing for the German government, clear
~ and without obscure verbiage show
cd wher Germany stood on the ques-
ton of Belgium, Alsace- Lorraine, the
German colnies and the Brest-Letovsk
and Bucharest treaties"
The foreign secretary said he agreed
with the Austrian note when its au-
thors pointed out that the whole Of
civilization was at stake and that the
prolongation of hosilities was a risk
ing or sacrificing of a great deal that
was really dear to everybody interest
ed in the progress of mankind.

BUSINESS MEN SING
AND SHOCK WHEAT

Sixty business men of Worland,
Wyo., and the marching song where
Do We Go from Here, Boys" are held
responsible for the expeditions shock
ing of 200 acres of wheat near Wor-
land in one recent evening. In the af-
ternoon a farmer asked the county
agent to furnish rs volunteers. The
county agent called on the Alfalfa
Club, which had promised to help out
any farmer behind in his work and so
men responded. The farmers 100
acres seemed no job at all to the en-
thusiastic 60 so they began singing
the song. When they finished sing
ing two other farmers found their
wheat had been shocked, and that
town help had piled more grain in
the balance against the kaiser.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF
WAR ACTIVITIES
w. S. Lively of MeMinnvilIe to Have
Charge of Important Work in State.

Recently the War Plans Division OF
the general staff of the army con-
ceived the idea of securing for the
official files of the department pho
tographic record of war activities in
the United States, and the cooperation
of the several councils of national de-
tense was secured.
In Tennessee Maj. Rutledge Smith,
chairman has approved the appoint
ment of Mr.. w. S. Lively of McMinn-
vile, as chairman of the Photographic
research committee, and it is Mr..
Lively's intention to acquaint the pho
tographers over the state with the
purposes of the work. That Tennes-
see will hold up her end of the line on
pictures of war activities goes without
saying, and in the selection of man
TO handle this work no better selec-
ton could have been made than the
President Of the Southern School Of
Photography.
Among the pictures desired by Mr..
Lively for forwarding to the war Of
fee are those showing the departure
Of troops for training camps, activi-
ties of local war relief societies in the
various counties, arrest of alien enc
mics, destruction of property attribu-
table to enemy activities, sales cam
paigns for government stamps and
Liberty Bonds, etc, etc, and groups
of prominent boards, committees and
commissions engaged in public service
in connection with the war. Each pho
tograph should be accompanied by a
brief caption and these should be sent
to Mr.. Lively at McMinnville in du-
plicate as it is teh intention of the
state council of defense to compile a
similar set of photographs in connec-
tion with the state work.
Mr.. Lively contemplates appoint
ing a photographer in each county of
the state who will collect such pho
tographs and forward them to him SO
that constant supply will be going
into the war office showing what Ten
nessee is doing in this war.
