General Pershing's message was made public by Mr. Baker in this letter to Governor Capper of Kansas: "You may recall writing to me several days ago concerning persistent reports as to the immoderate sale of liquor among our forces in France. My impression was that these rumors were not well founded in fact; but I felt it my duty to convey their content to General Pershing and to ask hiity to communicate Where to get application blanks for 1918 auto licese! For the information of automobile owners who desire to take out theii to take out their license for 1918 th< Highway Department states that t supply of application blanks for 1911 have been forwarded to every dealei in the State, and also a supply hat been sent to the Clerk of Court oi every County. Owners can obtair same by applying to these dealers, oi to the Clerks of Court, and thus save considerable time, as in most case: they can obtain th enecessary in formation as to the horse power ol their automobile, the motor number, style, the model, and such information required by the* Highway De partment before the license can b< issued. A simple reference to the 1917 license number is not sufficient and an application must be filled out and sent in for each motor vehicle. As the time is getting very short and no authority is given any one man in the State, or to any group ol men, save the Legislature, to extend the time limit it would be wise foi all owners of motor vehicles to make application promptly so as to get their license plate at the earliest possible moment. Up to 'Saturday night, January 19th, loss than half of the licenses issued lor 1917 have been taken out for 1918,4" and though the Highway Department is working over time they will not be able to issqe all licenses before February 1st. However, this will be no excuse for automobile owners and under the law they cannot operate their motor vehicles without the 1918 license plate on same, whether they have made application for their license or not. LUMBER MEN AND ROAD BUILDERS NEEDED Washington, January 21.?So urgent is the need for lumbermen and roadbuilders for immediate service in France that the War Department has made an exception to its previous ruling, and will now allow experienced men of draft age to enlist, under certain conditions. Any man between eighteen and forty-one years of age, who is qualified physically and by experience, may enlist for this service; but they must obtain permission to do so from Major C. E. Clarke, Chief of Engineers Office, War Department, Washington, D. C., by mail or telegraph. The men required will be sent to France as soon as they are assembled, without being held here for military training. Tremendous quantities of lumbei are required by the American troops in France. A special regiment, known as the 20th F.ncriri*>?fu ; > | ing recruited to cut timber in the forests of France and manufacture it into lumber. This regiment will include experienced men of every class required in lumber camp operations. The 20th Engineers needs immediately 2,000 woodsmen, sawmill men i machinists and others who have worked at lumbering. It also needt 3,000 men who have worked at roati building. These men are to construct road from the woods to the milh and from the mills to the distributing depots. In connection with both th< lumbering and road-building opera tions complete crews of men experi enced in the great variety of ma chinery used and in the camp and re pair work involved are required. GOVERNMENT WILL MAKE CONTRACTS TO PAY WELL FOR CASTOR BEAN CROPS The government needs castor oi fon Inhfipofinu ?L'-' avw....A V1IV ?clU|/IOUCS WIllL'l are expected to play a big part ii winning this war. The supply is short and this section can produce casto beans, and the government mean to make it profitable to the farmer to plant castor beans. Mr. Evans, in speaking of the mat ter, said, "Castor beans are an easj crop to produce in this section. Wo men and children can harvest th< crop. It is a crop that is good for th< land, and I am ready to give the far mers jn this section a contract fo all the beans produced by them t< pay them $3.00 a bushel at their sta tion. I will furnish the seed for plant ing at an exact coit to the (lovern i ment, plua the cost of transports tion, to the farmer, and will give ful directions as to how to plant am care for the crop and harvest. An; farmer that wants to take advantag i of this offer and prove his patriot , ism, can write to me at Hamlet, N C., and I will see that informatioi , and contracts are supplied."
