B Believe me, folks, I'm proud of my position in the world. ““From humble obscurity, I have trken the lead and am now swingirg the baton in front of the nut parade, through the work of the Planter’s. ‘Let me tell you something about Planter's PR *“Before Planter’s came along and made a whole salted peanut with their own te process, you were used to secing salted peanuts cracked and broken, without flavor, and usually stale. ““Well, the object of keeping the Peanuts whole was to retain in PENNANT peanuts the original flavor of the nut, which you know can’t be imitated. “‘As a result of this, Planter’s are making 2 beautiful big salted peanut, whole and full-flavored, and guaranteed to be always fresh and crisp. “Friends, the people who love good things to eat gave PENNANT whole salted peanuts a welcome like we gave Dewey when he came back from Manila. “Naturally, people tried to imitate PENNANT whole salted Peanuts. they can’t succeed, becauge we alone know the secret process for making them. “Here’s the point, to protect you from these imitators, we sell PENNANT whole Salted Peanuts only in glassine bags like the one in this ad. “If you don’t get your peanuts in a PENNANT bag, you are not getting PENNANT whole Salted Py Eat 'em and weep because you never tried 'em before. ‘Look far the PENNANT bag.” uts. 5c. at first-class stores.

Plantations in Virginia But | boara Results The examining board of the State Divison No. 1, which comprises Wes- terly and the’ other towns of Wash- ington county, has concluded the ex- amination of ' fifty-two young men under the selective service law. Of the number found to be physically fit for service seven did- not claim ex- emption, which is practically seventy per cent of the required quota of twenty-six. The percentage of qual- ified men in this division will rank with the best in the state. As some of these will file claims of exemption within the time limit, the number of eligibles will be reduced. The board is required to keep on examining the men in order until the clear numb: of availables, independent of those seeking exemption is reached. This does not signify that all, or any of the would-be exemptionists will be sranted freedom from military serv- fce, and if refused they will take the place in the order in which they were first drawn. The quota for this di- vision, the largest in area in the state, seems small in number, but the quota is based on population. While the board has not completed the work assigned the members Dr. John L. of Westerly, the examining phy- sician, has made’ public these results, Dby authority of the board Physically able — Ernest _Sharp, Recco Nardene, Antonio Gurrine, Glosue Palazzele, John H. Farnsworth, John A. Enos, itank A. Terranev John F,' M. Keigbley, Stanley S. Liv ingston, Albert A. Sear, Robert E. Young, Georse A. Maggs, Sabate Morse, James Bernasconi, Cesima Terace, Angelo Gachino, John Ken- nedy and James Real, of Westerly. it will be noted that eighteen young men of Westerly have been deciared to be physically fit, out of a total quota of twen x to be filled, the exemptions not being considered, nor the order of the liability. If all credit had been given Westerly for soldiers furnished beforc the draft-came, instead of be- ing divided between the towns of the whole state division, no young men from Westerly would be called under the first draft. In addition, Westerly furnished many young men for the navy, but these do not count as credits in the present draft. others examined within the d and declared as_being phys y able are: Albert S. Krans, Ar thur N. Lindren, of East Greenwich Stewart A. Gavitt, Frank C. Hayes and Fred W. Bristol, of Peacc Dale; William Gardner and Frank L_Main, of Slocums:: Christopher R.

Due to many rejections in the Rhode Island National Guard upon examination for federalization, re- cruiting has been renewed, in the hope of getting volunteers to fill the va- cancies. This action does not affect the Fifth company, Westerly, that en- tered the federal service seve months ago, when troops were ord out for special guard duty. The Fifth was then up to full war strength and cnly seven were rejected at the ex- iminations by rederal surgeons.

Major Arthur N. Nash, of Westerly, who by reason of being senior line officer ‘of the Rhode Isiand troops at Fort Greble, is the camp commander, made a trip of inspection to Fort Getty, Thursday, for the purpose of making a survey of the selected camp site there. Major Nash will be post commander at Getty as soon as orders arrive for the movement from Gre- ble of the companies that have been assigned to Getty, and it is_expected that the Fourteenth, Fifth (Westerly) and Fourth companies will proceed to Getty early next week. A detail un- der Lieutenant Stillman, Fifth com- pany, commenced Thursday afternoon the erection of tents, the work being ‘340"8 under the supervision of Major Nash. At regimental parade, Friday eve- ning, Major Nash was the reviewing office; Magor Babcock, Westerly, was in command of the Second bat- talion, Captain Cook the First, and Captain Marshall the Third. = The Seventeenth company, under command of Second Lieutenant Babcock, es- corted the colors. The post commander conducted the inspection Saturday morning, which was a rigid examination of camp con- citions, the personal appearance of the men and the condition of all equipment. After inspection a cer- tain percentage of the soldiers were allowed pass privileges. Something stronger than soda wa- ter and lemonade was indulged in by some residents of Westerly during the heated term, as there were five cases in the Third District court, Saturday morning, due to excessive drinking of that which intoxicates. George McCar- rier, a carpenter of the kind that can command high wages and who for a period of a dozen vears was a fotal abstainer and possessed a big bank roll, which all went for rum, was be- fore the court, charged with being a common drunkard. He was arrested by Police Sergeant West and when put to plea said he was guilty of the charge, as made upon complaint of Police Chef wn. He was _sen- tenced to six months in the state work- house by Judge Williams. William Bovd, who had been arrest- ed many times for intoxication, also pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to six months in the state ~workhouse. Thomas McGuire, arrested by Con- stable John W. Greenwood at Wh Rock, pleaded guilty of intoxication and was ordered to pay a fine of $2 and costs of $2.50. Frank Bliven, who was arrested by Policeman Curtin, entered a plea of cuilty to the charge of intoxication The ‘usual penalty of $2 and costs of $2.20 was paid John McKenna, recently dischare:. ~d from emplovment in a Watch Hill hotel, arrested by Policeman Lanphere at the Hill. said he was zuilty of being intoxicated and was fined 32 and costs of $2.20, Toliceman Mitchell arrested Andrew E.
