WELCOMED HOME Reception Given at W. D. Cross Home at Geneva for Miss Wegmiller RED CROSS NURSE Was Notable Event—Town is Proud of Its Loyal Daughter. The home of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Cross was the scene of a very pleasant social affair Thursday afternoon, when the ladies of the Birthday club held a reception in honor of Miss Julia Wegmiller. who resently re- " ’ turned from France. ■ • The hours were from two to four. .. and about one hundred and fifty attended during that time. • ’ The home was beautifully and ap- < . I propriately decorated with blue and ! white, wild flowers, red crosses and ' ' American dags. < • In the reception room an interest- !) ing display of articles brought from J ’ Paris Rome and other foreign cities ■ by Miss Wegmiller were displayed. ! Many rare and valuable bits of lin- ) en and art were shown and greatly j • | enjoyed. > Refreshments, consisting of sand- ; wiches, pickles and coffee were serv- ’ ed in the dining room. 11 Bunches of violets were given as ' favors. ;' Each guest was asked to register, the register being turned over to Miss ! Wegmiller as a remembrance of the Miss Wegmiller was the ■ ) only Red Cross nurse to go from GeJneva and she was one of the first to ’ respond to the call for trained nurses •, for oversea service. She spent /eighteen months near the front in ) France and with her splendid train>[ing and natural ability she saved ! many lives to return to their homes ) i and loved ones —a noble work indeed. 1 ) Geneva is justified in being proud jof her. along with her sons who so I bravely left their homes and occupations and stood ready to sacrifice . their lives if need be for the honor J and freedom of our country.

• JOBS FOR DISABLED YANKS > Washlnton, D. C . May 23 - An executive order recently issued bv the president and received by cable . amends the federal civil-service rules so as to permit the U. S Civil Service Commission to waive the physical requirements under certain conditions in favor of men who were injured in. the military or naval service. i The civil-servise regulations specify certain physical defects which debar from all examinations and other de i sects which will debar from certain examinations. These regulations are based upon the requirements of the service as established by the several department heads. Upon the recommendation of the! commission, after consultation with the Federal Board for Vocational Edu-! cation and the U. S. Bmploymees’ l Compensation Commission, the president issued an executive order, as | follows: i “Provided, that the commission i may. in its discretion, exempt from j the physical requirements established | for any position a disabled and honor'ably discharged soldier, sailor or ma- ' rine upon the certification of the Fed- ! eral Board for Vocational Education! that he has been specially trained for! and has passed a practical test dem■oustrating his physical ability to per-' form the duties of the class of positions in which employment is sought" In submitting its recommendation jto the president the Civil Service Commission said: "Where it is ap-l parent to this commission that his! (the disabled soldier’s, sailor's, or marine's) physical condition is such that he would not ordnarily be ac cepted. the case will be referred to the Federal Board for Vocational Education. That board will then decide whether it is practicable to educate him for the position sought. If considered practicable, the rehabilita-l tion and education will be given and when completed certification of that fact will be made to this commission Whore the beard does not consider it desirable to attempt the education for 1 the position sought other positions | ! will be considered and suggested to him. but he will not be admitted to! the one for which his physical condi- ’ tfcn constitutes an irremediate bar " ' o < COUNTY AGENT WRITES PLAY • Pennsylvania county, Va.. has a

■ play of its own—written bydts coun- . ty agent. The cast is composed of loc al agricultural club members. In every place where “The Conversion of Pa" has been presented this rural play has drawn record-breaking audiences. “Pa" is a conservative farmer, j with a progressive son named Willie. The county where they live hires an agent—a proceeding which excites “Pa's" scorn and derision, and he flatly refuses to let his son join the boys' com club, which the agent organizes. | The means taken to convince "Pa" 1 that the work of the county agent is valuable, and his subsequent change! of heart, for mthe plot of this little farm drama with a real country atmosphere. o WRENS LIKE HUMAN SOCIETY The house wren is one of the most sociable and confiding of birds and oa j this account they will build their nest in little houses that are built for them no matter how close this is to a human habitation, says the American Forestry Association, Washington, whose bird building contest is arousing widespread nterest among school) chidren throughout the nation in bird I life and conservation. Furthermore, the wren is one of the most valuable of birds for it feeds entirely on in I sects and thus helps to save the trees and the vegetables in the garden frem | the pests which would eat them. The wren builds its nest of grass or weed^' stuffed into any crevice that takes its! I fancy o Miss Anna Pifer. of Little Rock, Ark. will be here the latter part of the week to spend the summer with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Myers. She is stopping at St. Louis, Mo. for a visit enroute here.

ORDER CHANGES President Signs I’roclama- I tion Eliminating Over 100,000 Acres — :■ IN WESTERN FORESTS ; — Changes Recommended by • Secretary of Agriculture ; a After Classification. ; < The president has signed a procla < mation eliminating 104.713 acres from , the Inyo National Forest in California J and Nevada. The boundary changes • were recommended by the secretary , of agriculture in consequence of the ] land classification of this forest ma le J by the Forest Service. ■ A number of scattered areas are in- , volved. A solid block of about 15.000 ] ! acres in Nevada includes the Magrud- 1 er and Palmetto mountains The < land has little value and is similar to', thousands of acres of wooded n.oun- J tains which surround it on all sides * The pinon and juniper timber was no,t 2 I found of sufficient importance to war j rant holding the lands within the for- ' est. < The Adobe Meadows area of more ) i than 23.000 acres was eliminated a J the extreme north end of the forest ■ in California. This land is located . in Adobe Valley and on the mountain ) slopes of the west and south, with • an elevation varying from 6.500 to ■ 9.400 feet It is mostly either brush J or grass land and has no living J streams of water. I • « Over 4.600 acres arc eliminated in , various tracts along the west side of ) Owen Valley in California. About ’ one-third of the land is sufficiently < level to cultivate. The new forest , boundary is placed as nearly as pos- ) sble along the foot of the steep range. ■ —— —■ Red Comb Buttermily Mash for lit- . tie chicks, means success for poultry ) raisers.
