O|vERT|NG LABOR
TO SOUTHERN FARMS
INCREASING WILLINGNESS TO RE.
LlEvE SHORTAGE OF FARM
LABOR HERE.

Increased success in diverting la
Dor from industrial centers to south
ern farms was noted by the six offic-
es of the United States employment
bureau in Tennessee during the past
week. Whereas a few weeks ago it
was difficult to induce labor to go into
the country whites and blacks are dis
playing a greater willingness to re-
lieve the distressing shortage of farm
labor
The weekly report of DR.. j. T.
Ware, federal director of employment
in Tennessee, shows that 1913 individ-
uals, including male civilians, women
and returned soldiers and sailors, ap-
piled for jobs through the govern
ments free bureaus; 1,042 were ex-
amined and referred to employers,
and 832 are known to have been plac-
ed in industrial occupations.
Placements for the week in Tennes-
see amounted to 6S.6 per cent. The
placements of men reached 6S per
cent and women 70 per cent This
record indicates almost an ideal rela-
tionship between labor and supply
and demand.
The work Of helping returned col
diers and sailors to jobs is continu-
ing satisfactorily. Although 1T may
be said that a majority of Tennes-
sees fighters have returned to civilian
life. hundreds have not yet been dis
charged from the service. Employers
are being urged to bear in mind these
men, and to report all opportunities
for soldiers and sailors to the U. s,
employment service.

METHODIST WOMEN
OF COLUMBIA Be
CHOSEN STEWARDS
MAY BE FIRST IN SOUTH TO BE
GIVEN OFFICIAL LAlTY
RIGHTS.
QUARTERLY Y CONFERENCE MONDAY
Pastor J. w. Cherry to Nominate
Three Women to Fill Expirations
That Will Occur at That Time-lm-
portant Session.

Women of the First Methodist
church may be the first in the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, South, to be-
come stewards under the law of the
church enacted by the last general
conference granting them full laity
rights with men.
The Rev. J. w. Cherry, pastor of the
First church, stated today that at the
quarterly conference to be held next
Monday night he will nominate three
women to fill the expirations that will
occur on the board of stewards at that
time.
Tho recent enactment of the gener-
al conference of the Southern Metho-
dist church permits all members to
sit and participate in all quarterly,
district and other conferences without
regard to sex. The number of stew
ards for each church is based upon the
membership and Mr.. Cherry will take
advantage of this first opportunity to
add women to the board. The pastor
nominates the members Of the board
and the conference elects. He will
nominate only women at the confer
ence Monday night, but said that it
would be premature to announce the
names of his nominees today.
All members of the church are urg.
ed to attend this conference, because
it will be historically important ses-
sion and will be perhaps the first time
that women have been elected stew
ards of Methodist church in the
South

ANOTHER CALL FOR
BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS
ABOUT THE LAST OPPORTUNITY
TO HELP SOLDIERS WHO RE-
MAIN OVER THERE.

Poor response has been made to the
Red Cross call for books for soldiers,
but the call has been repeated and IT
is hoped that it will be needed. Mrs.
John T. Wooten. chairman Of the COM
mittee in charge of this work, made
the following statement today:
"The request for books for our SOL
diers has met with a poor response
and we trust this is due to the rush
of commandments and not lack of
interest. This is about your last op-
portunity to help the soldiers, who
have to remain over there, principal
ly regulars, but they are our soldiers
and need our help. Send books to the
Red Cross Work room as soon as
possible"

COUSIN BRU1N LOOKS LIKE A BAKER.

Now what do you think Cousin
Bruin had found In that jug IN the
high shelf in the lumberman's shack?
1t was a molasses jug. If there is
anything in the world a bear loves it
is molasses.
Meanwhile Jimmy Coon was anxi-
ously peering down through the hole
in the roof and he saw a sight that
filled him with anger-Cousin Bruin
sitting down on the floor, with that
jug between his front paws. He had
pulled out the cork with his teeth and
was holding the jug up to his mouth
and letting the sweet molasses u
down his throat!
Now this was a dreadful moment
wouldn't. be a drop for him. and yet
he was afraid to jump down into the
hut because he Thought the men who
lived there and who were away cut
ting down trees. might come back
any minute. and then 1t might be
hard to escape.
. Hey, there. Teddy Postum. come
here a minute and see Cousin Bruin
eating up all the molasses. There
won't a be a drop left for either Of us
II we don't do something in q jiffy.
Come up here and see that big pig
of a Cousin Bruin Just making him
self sick with all that molasses!"
And those two furry rascals peek
ed down through the roof at Cousin
Bruin sitting down on the floor, that
was all white from the floor, and
Cousin Bruin was all white, too. The
flour vas all owe him, and he looked
as funny as a baker; but instead of
the white cap that a baker wears, his
big head and his furry ears were all
covered with -four. And those two
rascals laughed so hard at that funny
sight, that they almost fell through the
hole right on top Of Cousin. Bruin.
Now what OF earth can we do to get
that jug and Cousin out and to save a
drop Of molasses 2" said Teddy Pos
sum. We must scare him a little
but not too much, for then he would
leave the jug and we wouldn't get a
drop. What can VI do? Put on
your thinking cap. Jimmy Coon"
Now Jimmy Coon always carried a
small thinking cap in one Of his fur
pockets since the day when his father
by putting his on, had made the fine
plan or Cousin Bruins fine dinner Of
