makes the toe sore.
You can go about as usual with
work or play, while "Gets-It," the

corn peels right off like banana skin,
and leaves the toe as smooth and
corn-free as your palm. Never happen

been grossly outraged and he made
the goat. Courageously facing En-
gineer Rufin and vainly trying to
swallow his adams Apple" which
persistently tried to get into his
mouth, Tom braced himself for the
shock he felt was coming and said
speak, Mr.. Ruffin, speak, tell me the
truth" Calmly viewing the young
mans agitated condition while he de-
liberately filed his pipe with "Old
Forked Deer" tobacco, and after
lighting it and when the smoke began
to fog up the atmosphere for a radius
of 30 feet giving out an odoriferous
scent reminding one of a negro gath
ering in a closed room on hot July
day, Bill" cleared his throat, then
said, Young man, how do | know?
I'll answer by saying how do / know
anything-by observation, experience
and what other people tell me. Did
Red tell you about the uwell dame hel
has been playing up to at Jackson for
the past three months-Nol of course
not Here in Water Valley Red has
been posing as a timid, backward,
woman-shy individual, and has been
put in the absolutely harmless class
along with Everett Cock, Judge Full
son, Ed Goodwin, ct al, while in Jack
soR this gay Lothario is smashing
women's hearts right and left. His
dual life is replica of DIR. Jeykl and
Mr.. Hyde, and it gives me great
satisfaction to expose him. His
latest conquest is one of Jackson's
fariest damsels ian old flame of my
early days), and the lady believes in
him. Oh, it is terrible, it is cruel!
Of course Red will take this lady to
the circus, ! know he will because /
asked her to go with me, and she
regretfully declined stating that Red
had asked her first and she promised
him the honor. Now, Tom, you know
why the expenditure of the dollar
and six bits on his old carcass. and
you also know why you had no more
chance of going to the circus with
Red than the Kaiser has of winning
the war" "Bill' then began to re-
fill his pipe while Tom silently slipped
away, going home on a back street
to avoid curious eyes in his present
agitated condition. "Bill" then mosi-
ed down to the dentists office to have
his teeth sharpened so as to be ready
for Landlord Sissell's supper steak.

FIRST VISIT HERE
IN SEVENTEEN YEARS

Mr.. James Hubbard and little son
of Pope, Miss, accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Still and their little
daughter, made up party of visitors
to this city Monday.
This was Mr.. Hubbard's first visit
to Water Valley in a little over II
years. He said the city looked just
as natural to him Monday as an old
shoe and very little change could be
noticed from its appearance of II
years ago.
Now that is what the writer calls
holding its own" We often speak
OF old men and old ladies 'being well
preserved" and as holding their
own," ETC., but none of these "old
folks" have any thing on Water Val
ley, as Mr.. Hubbard could easily
recognize the town from his memory
of II years past. Mr.. Hubbard owns
considerable farm land in Yalobusha
County and his business here Monday
was for the purpose of reviewing
titles and records in the Chaneery
Clerks Office, of additional lands he
had just purchased in the County,
He informed us that he intended to
move soon on one of his farms in
this county and become Yalobushan

Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder has
announced that the first call to the
colors of men who registered Thurs
day, Sept. IL, will include men in
the 19 and 20-year-old classes and in
the classes from 32 to 36 years i'm
elusive. Questiopnaires will go first
to registrants within these specific
age limits and local boards will be
ordered to classify them first in readi-
ness for calls beginning in October,
Young men in the 10 and 20-year
classes. Gen. Crowder said, will be
accepted for induction into the
students army training corps, but he
pointed out that the authorized
strength of this corps is only $50, 900
men, whereas the total number of
registrants below 20 who will be en-
rolled is more than 100000.
The general refused to discuss fur
ther the educational plans, saying
they were not within his province.
He pointed out that the total number
of fit men which he expected to be
obtained from the classes over 32 was
only 1000, and repeated the state
ment that class l of men now regis
terer would be almost completely
exhausted by Oct. /.
Gen. Crowder also issued a general
appeal to employers to assist in the
presentation of claims for occupa-
tional exemptions and declared that
this was the "unexplored field of the
new draft and that no estimates
could be made as to the number of
men who ought to be excluded from
military service in the. upper age lin
its because of their occupation"

BOYS
GET BIG BOOST
In THEIR WAGES
Hundreds of Water Valley Men
Get Big Increase In Pay
Practically All Railroads In
cluded In New Order.

Nearly million railroad employees,
including clerks, truck laborers and
maintenance of way men, are to re-
ceive wage increases of $25 month,
the equivalent of 81 day or IL
cents an hour over the pay they re-
ceived last Jan. /, under wage order
issued by Director-General McAdoo,
Advances are effective as of Sept. /.
This order, affecting half the rail
road men in the United States and
adding approximately $150,000, 900
to the annual payroll in calculations
of labor representatives, represents
the second largest aggregate wage
increase ever granted in American in
dustrial history. 1t is supplementary
to the general railroad wage order
issued nearly four months ago, pro-
viding for about 100000, 900 in
creases, and for classes of employees
affected, it supplants provisions of
that order.
Most of the employees covered by
the new order have made consider
ably less than 500 month, and the
voluntary increase was decided on by
the director-general after investiga-
ton by his advisory board of rail-
road wages and working conditions
of the pay of men doing similar work
in other industries. In the main, this
boards recommendation were fol-
lowed.
The order specifies that eight
hours is to be considered the basic
day, but overtime up to 10 hours is
to be paid pro-rata, with one and one
half the regular rate for overtime
past the 10 hours.Specific rules are
laid down for promotions of employees
on grounds of merit and seniority.
Other regulations forbidding dismis-
sal of employees without cause and
providing for hearing on appeal re-
semble rules now in effect under
government civil service. These re-
strictions will affect mainly the half
million railway clerks.
Thousands of women clerks en-
ployed by the railroads are to receive
the same pay as men for similar work,
but the Interpretation of similar
work" is left to executives.
Back pay from Jan. will be made
under the other general wage order
and the advances now granted will
be figured on top of the wage last
Jan. l, rather than on the pay re-
ceived in the immediate past under
the general wage increase. Minimum
rates of pay are established for all
classes covered by today's order, but
the increases of $50 a month apply
to the employe worked on monthly
or weekly basis, and of 12 cents an
hour, applied if the employee worked
by the hour, in many cases will run
the actual new rate above the mini
mum. Glasses sharing with the new
minimum rate for each class are:
Track laborers, 28 cents an hour
maximum of 40 cents an hour.
Those doing clerical work of any
description, train announcers, gate.
men, checkers, baggage and parcel
room employees, train and engine crew
callers, operators of office and sta,
ton equipment devices excepting

mon JOY RIDING"
SUNDAYSA SUCCESS

The 'Non Joy Riding" Sundays de-
signed to save gasoline to provide an
increased supply for use of our Army
and that of our Allies are reported
as a thorough success By the U. s.
Fuel Administrator. From the big
White House cars which carry Presi-
dent Wilson to the smallest "Flivver"
in the land, Americas automobiles
on Sundays are doing a war service
by remaining idle.
Each car owner constituted him
self his own Fuel Administrator and
demonstrated that request from the
Government for cooperation to aid
in the war, is fully effective.
With automobiles idle, various
transportation methods were substi-
tuted. President Wilson, who led the
country in gasoline conservation went
to church last Sunday in an ancient
White House carriage, behind a pair
of horses His police escort, usually
mounted on high powered motor
cycles rode bicycles.
Many people have asked whether
an automobile should be used in 60
ing to church. The Fuel Administra-
tor answers that where the church
can be reached in any other way, the
automobile should not be used and
that after all, the conscience of each
citizen will be his best guide.
It is reported that in a great many
cases the proprietors of hotels and
restaurants in outlying districts and
many operators Of soda fountains in
towns have refused to serve pleasure
seeking customers who drove out in
automobiles. Taxicab operators in
most cities refused to serve pleasure
seekers or to take passengers except
in the most urgent cases They de-
clined all hourly and pleasure trips.
Patrons of sight seeing cars have been
made to feel that by riding on Sun
day they are violating the Fuel Ad-
ministrator's request just as much
as the man who drives his own car.
There were "a violators in Yalo-
busha County last Sunday-the think
ing public noticed every one of them,
and there is no use to name them
this time However the next viola
tion by the same parties win mean
something serious" for the violators
as Uncle Sam has their number"
and will act,
