new DRAFT UNDER
CLASSIFICATIONS.

After Baraga county's first quota
for the draft army has been filed, any
additional drafting will be done under
new or more pleasing system, accord
ing to the new rules and regulations
laid down by the government.
Within few days questionaires will
be mailed out to each person who reg
istered under the selective draft sys-
tenn, to be filed out by him and re-
turned to the local draft board. The
questionaires are of sixteen pages, and
when one of them is completed, the
authorities will have practically COM
plete history of the registrant as to
age, marriage, citizenship, dependents
and occupation, and in this way each
man will be placed in the surroundings
best suited to him in the army, or left
at home.
Each man will be classified, the sim
gle men and others without dependents
going to the top of list to await call.
The married men with dependents will
drop down the list quite ways, to be
taken as the list of single men, etc.,
becomes exhausted. The list will be
classified and drawn from under the
new system. The old order of call will
be practically nullfied. it only being
retained to place the men in their
proper order after they have been
classified.
An additional call for men is looked
Cor the early part Of the year.

COUNTY AGENTS IN
81 mich. COUNTIES.

East. Lansing, Mich. Nov. 20 The
county agent plan for assisting farmers
and carrying on agricultural projects of
public nature has won distinct vic
tory in the state, a report from the
Office of the director of extension for
the Michigan Agricultural college indi-
Gates. Fifty-one of Michigan's 83
counties, the state leader of county
agents has been informed, now employ
permanent agents; score of others
are considering such move, and only
a half dozen have refused to line up
with the rest of the state. The first
agent taken on in Michigan was en-
gagged in Alpena county five years ago.
The growth of the county agent plan
since is said to be more phenomenal
than has ever characterized any other
public service effort.
"Of the 81 counties employing
agents. the report sets forth, "22
were provided with men before the
war broke out. The others have 'come
in" as result largely of what they
saw during the summer of the work of
the temporary field men employed to
help cope with problems arising in the
food campaign. The terms of these
temporary agents ended on November
/. whereupon 19 counties voted at once
in favor of keeping their men on the
job permanently. This leaves 80 coun-
ties still without county agriculturists,
though assurance has been received at
M. A. c. that most of these will make
the necessary appropriations before the
present year ends. ~
''Not more than six or eight counties
have rejected county agents, and where
this has occurred it has been found that
the fault can be laid not to the county
agent idea but to either the man who
acted as agent, or to the dampening
efforts of occasional reactionaries.
"When it is recalled that most of
the men who acted as emergency
agents were of necessity appointed in
hurry, without adequate opportunity
being given to thoroughly test them, the
misfits among them were few. Where
there are such they are gradually being
replaced.
But that such difficulties have been
rare has been borne out by the reports
submitted. These show 81 counties
definitely committed this year to the
county agent plan, where five years
ago Alpena stood alone"

L'ANSE THESPIANS
TO SKANEE TONIGHT

The play given at the L'Anse Opera
House Thursday evening by the men,
bers Of the L'Anse high school dram
attic club drew a crowded house. To
say that it pleased the large audience
would be putting it mildly, and we can
truthfully say that it was the best
play ever given by amateurs in
L'Anse, and compared favorably with
most of the shows given here by pro-
fessional actors.
Great credit is due to Principal
Omans for his fine work in getting his
young actors to take their parts SO
admirably. and he is to be congratu-
lated. In praising him, however, we
must extend our congratulations to the
young actors for their splendid rendi-
tion of this military comedy.drama.
They all worked trough their parts
without a noticeable flaw and drew
hearty applause at every drop of the
curtain.
To attempt to pick out the stars
would be useless. The comedy parts
by Clarence Simmons, Nils Nilsen,
Clara Simmons and Glady Ford were
especially well received, as comedy
parts are always apt to be, but judging
the play as whole, each actor took
his or her part admirably, ard all did
their bit toward making tn show one
of the best that has ever been attended
by the people in L'Anse. The sum of
SIPS was cleared.
Hayden's orchestra of Ishpeming
furnished excellent music for dancing
after the entertainment.
The play will he given at Skanee
tonight and at Pequam;pg next Friday.
and we can heartily recommend it as a
show wei wor h the o ley.

Christmas Packets Shipped.

The second allotment of Chistmas
packets for our soldiers, donated by
the people of L Anse, Keweenaw Bay
and Baraga, was shipped this week.
and we are sure the packets will bring
much joy to the nest lonesome as well
as the most cheerful.
The first lot, numbering forty, was
bought from the Red Cross headquar-
ters in Chicago and shipped direct to
France on the first Of November.
Shortly after, the National Headquar-
ters asked each county to double its
quota, and that the people of this sec
tion are bighearted was shown by the
prompt response to the second call.

TEMPTING MEN TO BE GRIM

EFiul lNNNA WIN . - P- SINNNl"
INALS.-A 14-Year-old boy, recently
brought before a Judge for vagrancy,
was told he might go free if he got
out Of town. So they turned him
loose-although he didn't have a
penny and had no visible means Of.
getting one.
He sought shelter in a switch
mans shanty, in a railroad yard
whittier he had gone to flop a freight
for other regions
The switchman slumbered. The
boy hit him over the head with an
iron weight, and took his watch and
coin. Men picked up the switchman
later, dead, where he had dragged
himself across the tracks.
The first impulse, in a moment Of
horror, is to condemn the boy-foF
his act is objectionable.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-01-24

The second impulse is to reflect
that the boy would not have been In
position to commit the crime had the
law not said to him, in effect:
'You may escape the consequent
ces of your last crime by committing
another!'
He had to steal a ride or steal
meal, or both. The boy, knowing he
must violate a law, decided on rob-
bling his sleeping benefactOr, perhaps
not intending his blow to prove fatal.
There is no excuse for the boy
certainly notl
But neither is there any excuse for
the system that sept him forth with
ORDERS to remain a criminal
If we expect boys or men to obey
the law, we must furnish them a
means Of living within the law!

The seIeetive Draft Was Known In the

Registration for selective draft was
known thousands of years ago. The
first chapter of Numbers tells how Mo
ses in the second year after the exodus
from Egypt was commanded to choose
from among the various tribes men to
tabulate the names Of the males over
the age of twenty who were able to
60 to war; The passage, in part, fol-
lows:
Take We the sum of all the congre'
CATION of the children of Israel by theil
families, by their fathers houses, ac
cording to the number of the names,
every male by their polls; from twenty
years of age and upward, all that are
able to 90 forth to war, thou and
Aaron shall number them by their
hosts. And with you there shall be
man Of every tribe. Here are men
toned the men who are to assist in the
registration.)
"And Moses and Aaron took these
men that are mentioned, and they as

on the first day Of the second month,
and they declared their pedigrees after
their families by their fathers houses,
according to the number of the names
from twenty years old and upward."-

An Aaed Gander.

The birds that live to greatfage are
comparatively few. Gulls have been
known to reach forty years, parrots
frequently live eighty years and swans
nearly as long. Ravens and owls usu-
ally die somewhat younger, but there
is good reason to believe that eagles
and falcons sometimes live more than
a hundred years. OF barnyard fowls
ducks and geese live longest. ID. Mac
Lachlan of Islay, Scotland, writes to
the Field that he has a gander that is
now siXty-siX years old. For forty-five
years it belonged to the proprietor of a
hotel at Bridgend, Scotland. Twenty
one years ago the father-in-law of the
present owner bought it. Mr.. Mac
Lachlan says that the gander looks as
well and as young and seems as active
as it ever did. There is no doubt about
its age.

Tragedy Of the Thousands That Sink
&C. a. Z, Into Oblivion Yearly.
! Police statistics of New York city
show that at least two girls disappear
from home every day In the year,
They vanish into oblivion. Soon they
are forgotten. but the heartache Of the
mother left behind is never stilled. 1t
will ache on through the remaining
days of her life
And what becomes of the girls who
disappear?
That is a problem that we Will not
attempt to solve We only know that
they are swept away by the great
whirlpool Of life.
The federal statistics furnished by
the bureau of vital statistics show that
10000 persons disappear each year
They vanish into oblivion a greater
proportion Of these are young girls.
The men who disappear turn up sooner
or later in most cases, but the girls, as
a rule. are forever lost. Having cut
away from their social ties, having
burned their bridges behind them'
these disappearing girls abandon usu-
ally all thought or hope of returning
and become isolated members of the
social colony of which they once were
members. They prefer to struggle on
as best they can.
