CAMPAIGN FOR MORE WHEAT

"Sixty Million Bushels Of Wheat in
Ohio in 1879 is the slogan that has
been adopted as representing part
of what Ohio should contribute toward
winning the war. Ohio's wheat crop
in 1916 amounted to 2O,25O, 900 BIZ;
the 1915 crop was 40, 900 bushels.
In order that the goal may become
realty, the Ohio Soils and Crops Com
inittee, representing the Experiment
Station and College Of Agriculture.
has started q campaign for an iii
creased acreage and an increased
yield per acre. A more extensive
use Of acid phosphate Is being advised,
and It Is being urged that every patti-
Gle OF manure be saved this summer,
Both corn and wheat respond To man
ure. Top dressing wheat with manure
often causes an increased yield of
from 5 70 5 bushels per Acre. Manure
and acid phosphate makes an ideal
combination FOR wheat and other Ger
eal crops.

The Equipment Is Being
Placed on the Yard

The rails for the switch and spur
tracks at the Union Bridge & Con-
struction Company Shipyard are be-
ing laid on the cross ties now. This
part of the work will be quickly
completed and the yard material
and equipment will then be put in
position to begin constructing ways
to build six big ships. AS the work
progresses an increasing number of
men are being employed. It is said
that about fifty Of the fifty-two
men laid off by the Texas Company
Monday morning have been employ
ed by the shipbuilders. It is also re-
ported that few if any negroes will
be employed by this company.
The big travelling derrick being
used to handle the massive timbers,
piling and machinery being unload
ed and placed along the tracks to
await removal to the main yard is
an interesting piece of machinery
and attracts a great deal of atten-
ltion. The ease with which it handles
big burdens is . source of wonder
to those who have not seen one be-
fore IN action.

In this way all those available for

registered will be made ready for
the country's call ,and from them
the first increments of 625,OOO will

Washington, July 2.-Controver-

cached such stage today that for
NAL steps were taken by administra-
ton leaders to limit debate and
force a final vote this week by in
voking, for the first time, the Sen

Within half an hour more names
than the sixteen senator's sigma

charge Of the bill, announced to the
Senate that he would offer the mo-
ton tomorrow and ask fir vote up
on it Thursday. Its adoption would
require two-thirds vote, and there
after would limit each senator's time
upon the bill and all amendments
to one hour.
Many senators say that until the
prohibition issue is settled, the nee

Prisoners exceeding 10000 and
the capture Of the village of Koniu-

southwest of Brzezany are the first
fruits Of the new offensive move
ment of the Russian forces in East

Russians have attacked, and fresh
battles are in progress.
The Russian artillery, long mag

important part in the defeat of the
Austrians and Germans at Koniu-

thrown into the German positions,
and Berlin says officially that they
We're turned into a crater field. The
Russians not only carried three lines
of German trenches at Koniuchy,
which were strongly fortified, but
also advanced to the Koniuchy
stream south of the village, which is
on the Slotalipa river.
Around Brzezany the fighting
was most bitter, and Berlin claims
sixteen Russians divisions were
thrown forward. The Russians car

DRAFT TO BE BY NUMBER
Selections for Army Probably Will
Be Made in Washington

Regulation for drafting the new
national army, now awaiting Presi-
dent Wilson's approval, contain pro-
vision for every step in the great un-
tertaking except the actual method
of draft itself.
No official announcement has
been made, but it has been stated,
and generally is accepted as true,
that the federal government itself
will do the drafting, probably in
Washington, so there will be no op-
portunity for local favoritism, politi-
cal or otherwise.
As the regulation stands now
every registered man bears num-
Der. The numbers will be forwarded
to Washington and the drawing will
be entirely by numbers. The identi-

pied by Negroes Who are
Shot as They Flee From
Burning Area

East St. Louis, H., July 2.-At
least fifteen negroes were shot and
killed by mobs here tonight as they
fled from their homes, which had
been set on fire by white mobs.
Estimates of the number of ne
%roes who perished in the fire ran
as high as 250, but there was moth
ing ar.hentic on which to base these
estimates, except that hundreds of
whites stood around the edges of the
burning districts and fired at the
negroes as they fled from their
homes.
Military rule was proclaimed at
8 O'Clock tonight, and at the same
time 300 white men were arrested
and locked up at the police head
quarters. Negro quarters in various
parts of the city are on fire and the
flames reach the very edge of the
business districts.
State troops were disarmed by the
mobs in many instances and togeth-
er with the police seemed powerless
before the rioters.
After military rule had been pro-
claimed the soldiers put more vigor
nto their attempts to quell the mob.
Seventy-five white men attacked
\ negro in front of a drug stree
lown town and shot him twice and
attempted to drag him to pole.
Che troops charged with fixed bay
'nets and the mob scattered.
