Canada Feels Effect of War Keenly.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Clapp and daugh-
ter "Peggy" returned Tuesday from an
extended trip by auto to eastern On
tario. They have been gone a month
and in all travelled a distance of 3700
miles. Mr.. Clapp states that every
energy of the Diminion is bent on the
preparation of materials to supply the
contingents at the front. He says
that one can travel for miles and not
see young man. Practically every
able bodied man is at the front or in
the training camps. Farm work is
being done by old men and the women
folks. In the homes there is not an
idle moment. At every gathering Of
the people you will find the women
folks busily knitting. At Toronto he
saw many who had returned from the
front crippled or suffering from
wounds. Those who have been "gased'
he says are most pitiable objects. He

JOHN CARLSON RUN
OVER BY AUTOMOBILE
Seven ear-Old Son of G. N. Engi-
neer Has Close Call When Isak
Matson's Buick Ran Over Him.

John Carlson, aged seven years, a
son of well known Great Northern
engineer, was run over by big Buick
car driven by Isaak Matson today at
the north end of the viaduct. The lad
lis in St. Joseph's hospital, suffering
from a four-inch scalp wound, and
bruises about the shoulders, arms,
back, abdomen and legs. He appears
mot to have suffered serious internal
injuries and his doctor has hopes for
his recovery.
The lad evidently was struck on the
head by the fender and knocked down,
when the wheels ran squarely across
his body. He was picked up immed-
lately and taken to the hospital. The.
street is very narrow at the place Of
the accident and the lad ran directly
in front of the car. Mr.. Matson was
driving carefully and could hardly
have avoided the accident. A few years
ago little lad was Killed at about
this same spot s4ss.

BAGGING GRAPES IS FAVORED
Vineyard, It Will Prove Successful in Small Patches.

While it is not profitable to bag in q commercial vineyard. it will always prove successful in a home vineyard. By bagging the ripening period can be held back for two weeks. Besides. when grapes are thoroughly sprayed and bags put on immediately. there is not so much danger of rotting. Bag ging keeps birds and bees from injur ing the grapes, therefore. more per feet punches are produced.
 Place the bunch in a strong three- pound paper bag. such as is used in Il grocery store. Fold the corners and pin securely around the stem just above the grapes. A small hole about one-half inch in diameter should be cut in one corner of the bag at the bottom to al- low water to run out. The bags are net costly. but it takes some time to put them on. In the home vineyard it is a very paying proposition, as it gives you a longer ripening period and more perfect punches.

PLAN TO PICK RkSPBERRlES
Row and Keep Chart and Record at Packing Shed.

In picking raspberries, number the rows, then assign two picllers to each row, and keep d chart and record at the packing shed. In a field of 40 to Go long rows it is very difficult for piekers to find their own row after taking a carrier of fruit to the pack ing house unless the rows are given some distinguishing mark or number. By this plan We know just what rows are picked, and can check up the work of each picker
 Let the pickers use four-quart car riers and as soon as the baskets are filled bring them to the nearest pack ing shed and get their card punched before they receive any more baskets. P.ellers are not allowed to take any extra baskets with them to the field.

258 FIRST NUMBER OUT
Secretary Baker Takes Out Ini- tiaI Misunderstanding Con- tinues All Day Friday and
 Throughout Night.
Long List of Numbers Given in Order as Drawn, From Which Those Who Will Be Called to Serve in First Army Will Be
 Selected.

Washington, July 2f.-The drawing for the big United States army was not completed until early Saturday morning. The drawing began at 9:45 Friday morning, and continued throughout the day aud night. Alto gether 10,500 numbers were drawn from the big fish bowl It was officially stated that the first 1000 numbers drawn represented more than 1.OOo.- O00 men. and it is not considered probable that men representing any number drawn after the first 2.O0O will be called before any exemption board for the first army. The first eight numbers were drawn respective ly by Secretary of War Baker. Senator Chamberlain of the senate military committee, Congressman Dent of the house military committee. Senator Warren and Representative Kahn, ranking minority members of the sen ate and house military committees; Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss acting chief of staff of the army Maj. Gen. Enoch Growder. provost marshal of iAc dt ny dlu AldJOf 6eHefaI AleCaiH, adJutant general of the army After the first eight numbers had been drawn the regular tellers took hold. ard worked through until the long task was completed.
 in only small number of the larg- est districts will the numbers above a few thousand affect registrants. Of the 4.557 registration districts throughout the country the largest has something over 10200 numbers, while the smallest has only about 1S5. and the average is about 5000. As the drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were withdrawn before one low enough to affect the smallest district came out. It was 126, placing 1 .557 men number ed 126 on their local lists as 157th in order of liability.
 The following list shows the num- bers in the order in which they were drawn. The first number in each case represents the order in which the see ond or red-ink registry, number was taken from the bowl. Four numbers are given in each line. Beginning with the first number, which was drawn by Secretary Baker.
