It WILL be rais-1 ed. But it will take workt and! GIVING and then MORE GIV- 1NG. The News-Journal has agreed i to publish the name of every! contributor of as much as $1.00.' This will be a big undertaking,! but lists by townships will be published. If there are so many contributors that it takes six months to publish all of them, it 1 will be all the better. j Think of the Red Cross as the j Loving Mother that it is. Think j oi it as yours, ours, n was inru the Red Cross that William Lentz, who was in foreign ser vice, was contacted when his father died. The Red Cross took the news to Capt. Younger Snead and Sam Snead. who were in foreign service. When Mar garet Dickson and baby son with many other women and child ren were evacuated from tropi cal Trinidad and landed in New York on a bitter cold January day in a blinding snow storm, lightly clad, it was a Red Cross nurse that furnished warm blankets and care for the babies and sweaters and wraps for those older. In a conversation ; with Captain Snead he said that j at Christmas time the Red Cross saw to it that every orphan sol dier received gifts and packages j just as the other boys did. I he message of its services from one part of the globe to the other is brought to you by the patriotic business men of the town and community and YOU MUST HEED. "Give Double THIS vear." That is the slogan! Letter From Rural Red Cross Chairman The Red Cross War Relief gut off to a good start last week. But .re ports indicate that it will take con sistent hard work on the part of all' workers throughout the'' fnorith 'of March to reach our goal. Let us remember that this is no ordinary Enrollment Campaign.; but. in addition to that it ;s also a special drive foir War Relief Funds for our soldiers in .ervice. Ordinarily our Red Cross goal for Hoke county is about $1,000, this year it is over $5,000. This means that each per son Will have to give about five times as much a they formerly gave. This means that every worker will have to see every person once, twice, or three times until all have given once, twice or three times until the goal is reached. To go over the top each worker will have to collect at least $40. Each week the News-Journal will carry a report by committees on amounts raided. Watch the paper to see how your report stacks up with other communities. Hoke County lias set a high stun-, dard in many Defense Drives, help us to go over the top again. And re member that for your work I thank you, and the mother and father of every soldier thankj you, too. Sincerely your Mrs. H. A. CAMERON. COTTON The cotton variety demonstration of C C.

Farm Workers Are Deferred Draft Board Told To Keep Farm Labor In Deferment Class. Washington. March 9. The War Man-Power commission told local draft boards tonight to keep farm workers in deferr ,ed classification even if the iquotas for the armed forces can not, be met. : The commission al o issued three other new instructions designed to help meet the farm labor shortage: 1. Any ma with farming exper ience, who Is now in other work shoud be classified ai farm-deferred (class 2-C or J-C) If ho roes back to agriculture as a regular iob be fore notified to appear for Induction. 2. State and county war bonds of the Agriculture department may re quest the deferment of necessary farm worker even though the work er himself or his employer does not seek the deferment. Tho boards al so may appeal from decisions of lo cal draft boards. 3. If a draft board finds that a farm worker is not producing enough to Justify his deferment it must re fer his case to a county war board and allow 30 days for him to be plac ed in another job before it ran draft him. DEFERMENT BASIS To gain draft delerrment a farm worker is required to produce a minimum output fixed by formulas prepared by the agriculture depart ment. Ca es of workers failing to meet these requirements heretofore have been referred to the U. S. Em ployment service. The new order is designed to give local farm boards greater influence. The Man-Power commission issu ed this memorandum to riralt boards: "Having made iti decision that an individual registrant is necessary to and regularly engaged in an agri. cultural occupation or endeavor es sential to the war effort, the local board has no further discretion and must defer the registrant. "No desire to meet calls for man power should in any manner influ ence the local board's decision. Calls which cannot be met without Inking registrants considered necessary to and regularly engaged in agricul tural oeeupat ons or endeavors es sential to the war effort .-hould be left unfilled.." MANY ALREADY DEFERRED The Selective Service system said nearly 50,000 farm workers had heen : placed in 2-C an) 3-C in recent ! weeks. About 171.600 were trans-j ferred to those classe, in January j alone. I "Over half of these men, had they not been transferred, would in all probability have been inducted into the armed forces, depriving agricul ture of their services," the Selective Service said. It is estimated that more than 3. 000,000 farm workers will have re ceived agricultural deferment by the end of this year. Some 6,500 farm workers are being reclassified daily into deferred status. The House appropriations sub mittee's action followed hearings on the Agriculture department program for recruiting farm workers chiefly through the farm . ecurity adminis-' tration.
