an old friend waiting for it. A few j ,
weeks ago I received a package from i ,
'.v Fairmont, W. Va. It had some re <,

ly tore off the wrapper to find to my j
delight a paper from my home State, j
; , namely The "West Virginian. And be-;,

this most interesting tnissle of messages
from home. And after reading
it thoroughly I passed it on to a few

on Land or Sea." But few people j
know exactly what a Marine is unless ,
: they happen to have some one in the
corps. I am at the present writing

Will JOIN RESERVE
I
Will Spend Their Vacation
Helping to Do Useful
Work.
i (Special Dispatcli to West Virginian.)
I CHARLESTON-. W. Va.. March 19-?
President Wilson's appeal to the young
men of the -Nation between the ages j
of 16 and 21 who are eligible for mem-;
berkhlp in the Boys' "Working Reserve j
organized under the United States De-.
partmcnt of Labor, will be heeded by j
hundreds in West Virginia as an oppor- j
tunity to serve their Nation in a cri-1
sis. Is'the belief of Secretary or state j
Houston G. Young, State Director of :
the Reserve.
The efforts of Director Young to provide
help lot the farmers through the enlistment
of boys and young men in
the Reserve have been given a great
impetus by the proclamations issued
by the President and Coventor Corn-1
weii. The President's call reads: j
"The Department of Labor hasVet i
jiside the vreoic beginning March ISth |
as National Enrollment Week for the ;
United States Boys' Working Reserve, i
The purpose of this National Enroli- j
ment Week is to call the attention, of!
the young men of the Nation to tlnrim- j
portance of increasing the food sup- j
ply by working on the farms, and urge ;
Lhem to enroll in the Reserve. I sin- j
cerely hope that the young men of
the country, of 13 years of age and 1
over, not now permanently employed.;
and especially the boys in our high !
schoo's. will enter heartily into this i
work and join the Boys' Working Re-j
serve .'n order that they may have the J
? ?iv-Hrorr-i fAP S'irh T hp!lPV<> it tO be. Of !
| J/. j
upending th?ir spare time in a prduuc- j
! live enterprise which will certainly i
I aid the Nation to win the v.-ar by in- j
j creasing the means of providing for ;
. the forces at the front and for the!
i maintenance of those whose services'
are so ranch needed at home." |
The patriotic boy or young man who!
desires to enroll in the Reserve for I
non-military duty can do so by giving i
his name, age .and address to the coun-|
| tv superintendent of schools, the prin- j
I cipa! of the high or graded school, his |
j Sunday school superintendent or a Y.:
j M. C. A. secretary in his community I
: who wili in turn forward this informa-j
j ticn to State Director Young.
