names In OTOeT Drawn, completes Lne
list ordered by wire and includes all
to be called before the local board Of
this county to be passed upon for
the formation of the first national ar
my and those necessary to complete
the regular army and the national
guard Of the state. Other numbers
will be published later. The govern
ment estimates that there may be in
some counties as many as fifty or
sixty per cent exempted. Even if
sixty percent are exempted the num-
Der called in this county will not go
above 200 According to the press re-
ports only such number as will be
needed will be asked to go before the
local boards to be passed upon. AS it
now stands those who did not come
in the first 200 names in this county
will not be interested unless within
six months or year the government
decides to call out another army of
100000 men. Then it is likely that
all those between $50 or 200 and 400
will be interested. However. we will
continue the publication of the names
and numbers in the order drawn.

lazily. as Jack and Katherine went
out Of the library door on their way
to the dining room, where Lillian had
sent them in search of army wool and
knitting needles.

countered.

you ask me, it's pretty coarse work.
Why didn't you just get up and say,

SIDE. TALKS
The Gift Of Wanting Things Hard

A woman came to the house the
other night who was not pretty, not
handsome, not of remarkable figure,
and yet stood out from the other wom-
on in the room. And the reason was
her perfect grooming. She wore a
tailored suit, a small hat, very sim
pie (but not mannish) blouse and she
was absolutely trig from the crown of
that little3 close hat to the low heels of
her tan shoes.
She satisfied the eye. There were no
loose ends about her anywhere

man who had been taking the visitor

'Well?" said the Lady-who- always

"Oh couldn't" said the young wo-

HUNGARY is NOW BANKRUPT
Magyar Political Economist Says In
terest on Debt Almost Equals
National Production.

DR.. EIDE Palyi, in a recent article
in the Az Est of Budapest, entitled
Hopeless" makes some startling reve-
lations in regard to the state finances
of Hungary, according to the New
York Times. Doctor Palyi is not only
prominent Magyar political econo-
mist, but he is an ardent supporter OF
close economic relations with Germany.
He leads up to the statement that
Hungary is insolvent by pointing out
that, while the productions Of Hungary
realized in the year before the war
$950OOO,OOO, the war had cost the
state up to March 1, $5,O00,0O0,0OO, and
that an equal amount would be neces-
sary to liquidate national expenses at
the close of the war-if the end came
soon. Hence, while the whole ma
tional production has never exceeded
$95OOO0,0OO, the government will be
called upon to pay in interest alone
S6OO,OOO,0OO. This is, he says, why the
Magyars refused to entertain the last
war loan, the true figures of which
have never been published. He pre-
diets "a revealed catastrophe" with the
floating of. the new war loan.
''If the wage-earners," he declares.
"were to pay so per cent income tax
and the farmers so per cent of their
produce in taxes, and the industrial
products were requisitioned entirely.
even then the needs of the state would
not be covered. And if the state were
to seize the entire agricultural prod
ucts of the country after the war from
the producer, $1s,OOO,OOO would still be
wanting to cover the interest the state
has to pay on the war loans"

One form of national waste which Is
far more serious than the American
people realize is a result Of the deplor-

observers of nature who have made
study of the subject say with the sane
ton of crop experts that insects de-
stroy one-tenth Of the products of agri-
culture in the United States. Nearly
all birds destroy insect life. The fed
eral department Of agriculture has
found that among the birds which
most effectively aid the farmers are
phoebes, kingbirds, catbirds, swallows.

beaks, house wrens, vireos, native spar
rows, cuckoos, orioles, warblers, shore

picion so long, do more good than harm
