Registration of al housewives in
Ballinger will take place next
week, but any rural resilient may
also be registered in Ballinger on
the dates mentioned below. This
registration, while not compul-
sory, is very necessary and every
patriotic lady in the county is
urged to sign the pledge. Ladies
will also be asked to sign the
blanks for Volunteer Service of
the National League of Woman’s
Service. These blanks may be
secured from -Mrs. Melton at Bal-
linger, and will be mailed to Win-
ters, .Miles, Rowena, and probab-
ly other smaller towns of the
county if called for.
Here is the pldege to be signed
by the ladies who register under
the Hoover plan:
Mrs. I’. P. -Melton, chairman of
the Food Conservation League for
Runnels County, has asked The
Ledger to publish the following
blank and requests all those who
will do so to fill in the form from
the paper instead of registering at
the registration stations. A seri-
ous shortage of pledge cards and
delay in getting any cards at all,
is the reason of this request. Sim-
ply fill in the blank as indicated
and mail to -Mrs .Melton in Bal-
linger. Enclose ten cents if you
wish and later a button and shield

tion will be sent you.

The money counters announce
that there is more than $11 for ev-
man, woman and child in America
than there was one year ago. Our
per capita wealth sas increased at
a wonderful rate, yet the shoe of
poverty is pinching in some sec-
tions of the country. European
millions are pouring into America
for supplies, and other nations are
looking to America for food and
clothing. It is the opportunity to
keep business going.

Mr. Auto Driver, you
fix your lights to comply with the
la* by next Sunday, or you will be
subject to a fine, and a warning
has already been sounded that the
law will be enforced. This law
went into effect on July first, but
the authorities were kind enough
to extend the time until the fif-
teenth in order that the people
might have time to fix their lights.
It is a good law and all auto driv-
ers considerate of the rights of
others will comply with it.

We must admit that the feed
crop of this country is a failure,
but the admission should be no ex-
cuse for calamity howling. It is a
long time until frost, and with the
good rains that are sure to come
there is time for late feed to make
and mature, and with gooil fall
rains making good grass and a
mild winter the demand for feed
will be ent in proportion to tic-
supply. We predie! a late fall and
a mild winter, with plenty
for growing grain.

PATRIOTISM GONE TO SEED.
There are too many slackers a-

Young men are not responding to

soldier, or enlist in any
ment of the army.

has been an employe of the state

is now located at the Ramsey

is a well known citizen of that

“My troubles began in 1908,’’
continued Mr. Jernigan, ‘and ever

nearly all the time until Tanlac
relieved me. The rheumatism was
all through my entire system and
my arms and legs, shoulders and

a whole year at the Hot Wells of

got no relief. I left there and
