trial soldiers, every one of them Most
of those who come back from over
seas can be made fit for industrial
work of some character, whether 1t
be mechanical or clerical. Each can
take the place of an able-bodied man
and release to the military forces an
other fighter, or can fill an important
gap in the Industrial scheme.
Never before has opportunity for
advancement in industry been so
great as it is today. The gates are
opened wide for trained men; and the
Government program of habilita-
ton is guarantee of what we may
expect. Our disabled soldiers will be
taught to use their brains, and brains
are needed to carry to, us their plans
of those who furnish capital.
In many years of experience as an
employer of large groups of men,
have rarely known a man who really
used his brains to his full capacity
and failed to advance. l believe that
the emphasis of this fact will have
much to do with the recovery and sue
cess of our disabled soldiers and sail
ors. If the men can be imbued with
the spirit that impelled the most
striking successes in American indus
try there should be little difficulty in
solving the problem of reconstruc-
ton.
1t is the duty of the business men of
America to take these men at their
intrinsic value; to employ them not
from a sense of duty but because a
trained man who has been taught to
think is valuable asset.

Farmers in Mason County Report
That Rains Must Come During
This Week or the Corn Crop

Unless we have rains and plenty OIL
them in Mason county this week the
crops will be so severely damaged by
the drouth that there will not be more
than half a crop of either corn or to-
bacco. the farmers in the city Satur-
day reported.
During the past week the ground
has been entirely too dry for the
farmers to accomplish anything on
their farms and the time has been
spent by doing up little odd JOBS
about the place and in looking for the
appearance of a rain cloud on the
horizon.
In some parts of the county the sl'-
nation is much worse than it Is IN the
immediate neighborhood of MaysVille'
In the Minerva neighborhood espe-
cially is the situation said TO very
sarious and around Mayslick ana
Helena rains are badly needed while
near Orangeburg the situation Is SO
serious that farmers report rains no"

The rain early this morning was
certainly fine on crops but much more
is needed.
In most parts of the county how
ever, rain during this week woulC
clear up the situation considerapi'
and would probably save the toDac'

THE MOVIE INDUSTRY
IS HELD ESSENTIAL
War Industries Board Holds That
Moving Picture Industry Is Es-
sential to Winning the War.

Washington - The motion picture
industry in all its branches has been
recognized as an essential industry
by the War Industries Board. Chair
man Baruch has announced that this
action had been taken in line with
Provost Marshal General Crowder's
ruling under the work or fight regula-
ton that the industry afforded useful
occupation.
Recognition of its value in afford
ing an educational medium for the
great masses of the people, as well as
a wholesome and cheap means of
recreation. governed the board in
placing the industry upon the pre-
ferrtd list for priority. The extern
sive use of motion pictures by all war
recreation agencies also was consid-
cred.
The erection of new picture thea
ters, however, will not be permitted
during the period of the war. Saving
of many materials used in the
manufacture of films, several of which
are essential in the production of eX-
plosives, will be effected by a ruling
of the board that only one negative
may be taken of each picture instead
of several, has been customary. The
industry also has been called upon
to institute other economies in mater
ial, chiefly tin and iron.

Transportation of the iron and steel in

Holland May Break With

Amsterdam, April 24.-The Berlin
correspondent of Nieuwe Rotter-
damsche Courant is informed by peri
son in authority that difficulties have
arisen in the negotiations between
Germany and Holland and the nego-
tiations are not making Roadway.
The Hague correspondent of the
Handelsblad says that the question of
the transport of sand and gravel and
the use of the railway line through
Limbourg depends entirely on the IN
tentions of Germany. The correspond
ent adds that the Dutch government
will firmly observe neutrality what
ever happens.

Automobiles Ignore
Danger Signals on
New Paved, Highway

Reckless disregard of danger signals
ing of the paved highway from Birming
ham to Fairview now under construction
and wanton desire to retard the build
is reported to the board of revenue. Re-
Gently the construction of a highway,
partly of asphalt and partly of tarvia,
with concrete foundation, has been start
ed by county officials. The paved road,
when completed will connect the Third
avenue asphalt pavement with the brick
pavement at Ensley Highlands. The work
is well under way and at night the
unfinished part of the work is barricaded
and red lights placed at proper inter-
walls.
According to information received by
members of the board of revenue these
signals are being disregarded by persons
driving automobiles, not only over the
unfinished roads but the part that has
been completed and barred from travel
until set, and have done damage to the
extent of hundreds of dollars, besides
retarding the completion of the highway.
Jere Gwin, president of the board, ex-
pressed regret at the wanton destruc-
ton and indifference of the Automobiles
and states that steps have been taken to
bring these offenders to justice.
