that every farmer should associate ' than with tho results of any prev-

has for its object tho enhancing of
the best interests of the farmer
and his family.
Countyr Agent Gerlach gave a
very interesting talk on "Beef
Cattle," a subject that at this time
is receiving much attention not
only from the farmer but from the
government as well
Hon. James Aldrich of Helena,
0., was present and gave an in
formal talk for the afternoon ses
sion. As usual and customary
with Mr. Aldrich he talkedliimself
into the hearts of his audience and
thoirgave to them the message of
good citizenship, of loyalty to
home and country and impressed
them with the wonderful oppor
tunities that are now afforded the
farmer to make himself and his
profession a great assest to the
government in its hour of struggle
to) bring peace and good will to all
the earth.
Among the other pleasant fea
tures of the afternoon were the
piano solo by Miss Harris and the
recitation by Miss Arda Wag
goner, both of which proved con
clusively that it is not necessary
for the farmers to go away from
home for splendid entertainment.
The evening program was more
varied than that of the afternoon
and was very pleasing. The ses
sion was opened with a piano solo
by Miss Harris. A'vocal solo by
Miss 11a Simmons with viloin ob
ligato by Miss Gladys Simmons ; a
vocal duet by Misses Harris and
Davenport, and a recitation by
Miss Eunice "Waggoner were fea
tures of the program that reflected

NO SECOND DRATT
Men Will be Galled Gradually
as Needed.
There will not be a second draft
in thesensc of the first great draw
ing, i
Instead of putting out the addi
tional 500,000 men authorized by
the first draft, it is now planned
to call the men gradually as the
need develops.'
Seventy-five thousand of the old
draft were called a few days ago,
which leaves another 75,000 before
the original call of 687,000 is ex
hausted. These will be summoned
next month.
The low authorizing the second
500,000 is being changed to enable
tho government to ascertain the
state quotas, according to the
number of registrants in class 1,
as against the old allotment on the
basis of population.
There must be another presiden
tial proclamation to arrange for
the gradual taking of the men of
the second 500,000, for the original
law contemplated their being sent
to the camps at one time. It will
be a year before the last of this
second crowd gets into uniform.
The idea is to have them sent
just as they can be assimilated into
the army. They will be trained
with -reference to the speed with
which they can be transported to
France. In this way the dis
organization of the industrial and
agricultural affairs dFtlie country
will be minimized and the men
will be left to follow their normal
occupations up to- the last moment.
This delay will be especially favor
able to the farmers.
TWim lin loot rvfi lin Arafi- nm
in camp we will have plenty of
selects in training to load the
troopships and get the, 1,500,000
menK indicated by Secretary of
"War Baker as the program for
1918, across the water. As they
go and the new equipment is made
ready, otners win do cauea to
. ,
take their .places in the camps and
contonments.
Toward tlm latter end of May
the first 75,u00, which is the tenta
tive unit of the new call, will be
selected from the class 1 men.
This will reduce the quota of each
district to a comparatively few
men.
Along in July, it is calculated,
the camps will be ready to receive
another batch, and so at intervals
of a month or two, theboys will
troop to the colors.
Under the' terms of the draft law
the president is authorized to call
as many, in addition to the 2,500,
000 levies, as may be necessary to
keep the army up to maximum
strentrth. so this process may be
kept up for the duration of the
war unless necessity demands,
There will be no lack of m
mate
rial. Bovs are reaching the age of
21 at the rate of 750,0JU a year.
Besides this, the rehabilitation
plan is to reclaim 250,000 men of
the first draft who were physical
ly unfit when examined.
GET YOUR BOND.
People who subscribed to the
Second Liberty Loan can now
secure their bonds by calling at
either of the banks of this village
to the one where tho subscrip
tion has been placed.
Tho bonds, are now ready and
every subscriber should call
promptly and ge$ his bond.
Tho banks havo set apart Mon
day, March 11, as a day to bo de
voted especially to tho work of
distributing tho bonds among the
subscribers.
Bo prompt. Come and got
yours MONDAY if possible.
About Constipation.
Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of tho bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On tho other hand raw
fruits, especially .apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement of tho
bowels. When tho bowels are badly
constipated, however, tho sure way is
to take ,one or two of Chamberlain's
Tablti immediately f;ev supper.
EATMEATTO SAVE WHEAT
Suspension of Porklosa Satur
days and Other Changes.
The Lucas county fopd commit
tee was notified Monday morning
that the meat conservation order
has been modified.
Meatless meals are eliminated on
all days excepting Tuesday the
regular meatless day, which will
he continued. Porklcss Saturday
is abolished. Mutton and lamb
may be eaten at all times now.
The food committee understands
tho meat conservation restrictions
are withdrawn so people -will eat
more of it and save wheat, which
is badly needed now in Europe.
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

February 26 with Mayor, Clerk
and all Councilmcn present.
A crossing at corner of Walnut
and Third streets was referred to

streets, from Louisiana avenue to
Elm street.
Claim ordinance was passed.
Council met in adjourned meet
ing. Present, Mayor, Clerk 'and all
Councilmcn.
A resolution was passed declar
ing the office of village marshal

Taylor, who had been elected ti the

The Mayor then appointed Mr.
J. S. Fuller to fill the office of
marshal. The appointment was
confirmed by unanimous vote of
council.

HOW'S YOUR HEART?
Does it Beat Warm for tho BoyB
in Camp?
If you were in camp waiting to
be taken over there to be shot at,
would you want to bo kept warm
and ' comfortable while you were
in training? "When you tucked
yourself in bed at night, while tho
wind was howling and tho frost
was biting, wouldn't it seem
mighty good to havo a good pair
of pajamas to keep yourself warm?
Wo think so.
Here's the situation: Mrs. W.
S. Walbridge is now at Camp
Sheridan and has discovered there
are many boys down there who
need a few home comforts.
Through Capt. Beard she
learned that 85 boys in that camp
from this locality arc without
pajamas. She has purchased the
necessary material and it is now
in the hands of the Red Cross
women here who now ask for
volunteers to assist in making the
pajamas. It is desired to rush the
work and get the clothing to the
boys as soon as possible. Any
woman or girl who will help on
this splendid work wilL please call
at the Red Cross rooms and re
ceive the cloth and instructions.
