Agriculture is the barometer nation rejoices or weeps as crops Business Chat. Support the County Farmers and business men
the county agent movement. Wayne county has
no trained agricultural expert to advise the farmers. Both state and nation have combined their
finances to make it easy for a county toobtain an agent. v. All it takes in Wayne county is a demand from the farmers for the service of an expert. The township trustees appreciate the importance of the movement. Let the farmers. and business men insist that an expert be hired. The cost will amount to practically nothing. The federal government and the state will pay the entire salary.
Looking for Farm Hands in the City Men who can milk are so scarce in the New England states that members of the Connecticut Agricultural College are in New York trying to obtain men at $30 to $40 a month with good board. The lure of the city and the high wages paid in the munition factories have attracted the farm boys. It seems strange that farmers and dairymen are recruiting employes in the greatest center of population in the United States. One of the professors, after reviewing the conditions under which the men would have to work, said he felt sure that he could obtain ten .men out of the mions in New York. Perhaps he may, but the chances are that the young men who went to New York to escape farm work will not accept his overture.

Don't Forget to Register Women voters must register before they can cast their ballots. , There is no discrimination in this request, for men also must have their names on the registration books before they are allowed to enter the polling places. , The women put up a heroic struggle to obtain the right of partial suffrage in Indiana. They will default the right if they do not register. It is the first step in casting your ballot.
Joining the National Army Wayne county men are answering the call of the draft boards with good grace. They are accepting the call of their country with a spirit indicative of a willingness to serve. Those who have filed exemption claims have done so in good faith, and the boards have accepted them in the same spirit. No disgrace attaches to an honest claim for exemption. A man cannot fight with a stout heart if he feels that his dependents at home are fighting a hard battle to keep away starvation. The government has indicated plainly that it does not . desire men whose wives are solely dependent upon them for support. If these men are taken, the government will be compelled to support their families. A man's highest duty, according to the government's viewpoint, is to support his dependents.
Make Your Own Way When you feel the gaff, don't let out a howl ; grin and bear it. The world wasn't made to order for you. You'll have to take your share of the punishment. Don't believe you are the only unfortunate chap alive; there's always some fellow who has a worse row to hoe than you have. The biggest baby in town is the fellow who will sulk all day and have a grouch because he stubbed his toe early in the morning. If you grouch because you can't find your collar button, what will you do when Providence hands you a man-sized wallop?
THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT Reasons is often pronounced good because it will satisfy the stomach; most men think as their stomachs feel. Talking mever takes man far on the journ; but doing drives a good gait. You miss the kiss of the rain drops if they chase you in when they fall; "the rainy day" brings you sunshine when rain is your choice. Mistakes don't mar n or mark you if you get up again; when you miss, don't hiss the fate that tomorrow will bring you good fortunes. What it may be, a Palladium Want Ad will fill any vacancy, get you what you want or exchange for you what you have. They never shirk their work. planning to camp next week. . . . A cement curbing is being put in on South Main street. Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you wan, to keep ; ;ur hair in good condition, be careful vhat ;ou wash it with. Most soaps and prepared rv-r:noos contain too much clkali. This dries the scal; makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure anJ entirely graaseless). Is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for sham-ooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One cr two teaupoonfuls make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and sal; thoroughly. Tho lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair cl:-!es qulcJclv and evenly, and " leaves it -Ine and silkly, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everrone In t'ue family for months. Adv.
DRAFTEES SEEK TO BRIBE BOARDS
NEW YORIi Aug. 9. According to figures based on complete returns from fifty of the 189 local exemption Doards, New York city has enrolled 12.000 of its quota of 38,865 men in the new national army. Up to today the fifty boards had obtained 3,3588 men who had waived exemption without reservation. In making public the figures for the fifty boards, Roscoe , Conkling, deputy attorney general In charge of the draft in this city, stated that 70 percent of the men examined throughout the city had claimed exemption, adding however, that there was no way of telling bow many of these claims would be allowed. Mr. Conkling and investigators working under his direction, were ac tive today in running down, reports of the activities of a number of lawyers alleged to be charging large fees for preparing affidavits of exemption. Blanks prepared for this purpose had not been supplied to some local boards, making it necessary to resort to the use of affidavits. Mr. Conkling also was said to be investigating a case involving a man who was accepted and later rejected because of "high pulse beat." Reports of men seeking exemption by bribing exemption board officials were also being investigated by Mr. Conkling.. j ,

Fake Assassin Business in New Russia Made Profitable
PETROGRAD, August 9. (Correspondence of The Associated Press) Among the novelties which Russia's revolution has presented to the world is the profession of fake assassin. In other countries only persons suffering from, hallucinations claim to have committed murders of which they are innocent. Here, as a result of Nicholas' overthrowal, posing as an assassin is a highly profitablo or transitory branch of business. Terrorists released from Siberian convict jails and exile villagers- are naturally made heroe3 of. They are given free train accommodation, free dinners, free clothes and gifts of money. WThen they reach their native towns they are acclaimed as martyrs of liberty; and they receive proposals of marriage from wealthy young women. , , Women Pose, too As a result of this novel condition many enterprising citizens whose hands are innocent of anything grimmer than mud' or ink are posing as murderers of despotic officials. Wo-, men as well as men are entering tho profession. In Minsk has been arrested Catherine Smirnoff, who announced that she had murdered M. Ivanoff, governor, of Odessa, and described with pathos her sufferings in the Arctic wastes

of, Yakutsk. Smirnoff levied tribute and was, presented with bouquets. An unkindly inquirer discovered that Odessa had never a governor named Ivanoff, and further that Catherine Smirnoff had posed in Odessa as a Sister 6t Mercy and after swindling seventy charitable citizens had been expelled by the military authorities. Denounces General In the same city a healthy young man who described himself as a soldier volunteer arrested in the street the invalid ex-governor. General Pilliu. Before a sympathetic crowd he denounced the general. "I am the innocent and unhappy man whom you seized," he excUimed, "the peaceful citizen whom you sent to a convict prison without trial. Our committee has ordered you to bo sent to the front, but in view of your bad health we shall show some mercy." In vain Genera! Pilliu explained that he had never seized any innocent man. He was hauled by the mob to the militia office. The Odessa dreyfuss meantime collected money and fled. The militia at once released the general. . From Siberia, which a Russian proverb described as the "land of credulity," similar cases are re-
OLD ARMY CORPS PLAN REVIVAL
WASHINGTON. Aug. 9 Decision of the war department to abandon the army division of 28,000 men in favor of the continental unit of about 19,000 troops was due, it was said today, to changes in modern warfare that made the old command unwieldy and cumbersome in trench fighting. The di-ision under the old system was cot sufficiently mobile "for the peculiar needs of fighting on the western front." Under the new plan, a division will include two infantry brigades of two regiments each, instead of three brigades of three regiments each as formerly. The artillery and machine gun strength is materially increased, the cavalry regiment now a prominent part of the unit, is eliminated, a new trench mortar battery is added, and the old army corps plan abandoned after the civil war is again revived. Provost Marshal General Crowder is today working out final details of regulations governing the mobilization schedule of the men selected under the selective draft law. The completed plans will indicate how each man drafted is to be assigned. The next general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church will be held May, 1918, in Atlanta, Georgia. COMPANY r
