STATES To GET
CREDIT FOR
ENLISTED MEN
Will Have to Wait Until Sec.
0nd Increment of Nation
al Army is Drawn,
Says CroWder.
international News Service +:

International News Service:
WASHINGTON, July 26. - Every
enlisted man will be credited to his
state, when the second increment
of the new national army is drawn.
according 20 Announcement made to-
day at the office of Provost Marshal
&c. Crowder.
Constant protests are coming in
concerning the assignment Of quotas
by the governors Of the various
states. Each locality has failed to
understand that no credit has been
allowed in this increment for men
enlisted in either the national guard
or the regular army since June 30.
In some instances local authorities
have believed they would not be
called upon TO furnish any men for
the national army, but have been
disappointed TO find a quota assigned
TO them.
To Give Full Credit.
When the quotas are made for
the second increment fun credit will
be given 20 each state for every
man who has enlisted since the be-
ginning Of the war up to the time
of the assignment OF quotas for the
second increment
1t is believed now that the bur
den 10 be thrown upon the local
tiles will be smaller for the second
draft than for the first There will
be more voluntary enlistments 10 be
credited and the second increment
will be smaller than the first
While the strength of the second
increment is still a matter Of con-
lecture. il is believed that il may be
somewhat less than 500. 600 because
Of the difficulty in equipping the
men and the necessary time TO train
them.
Plan For Million Men.
Moreover the cOnscription bill
drafted into service provides only
for a million men under arms"
There is, however, a provision for
the drafting of men TO keep up the
strength Of the million men under
arms II is believed that the war
department will arrange the second
increment. so that there will still he
room to call at least 100000 men
under the conscription act and per-
haps 100000 10 complete the ranks
of the first two increments
It seems most probable now. too,
that legislation will he enacted 10
draft aliens. which will also serve
to great extent 20 tighten the bur
den placed upon many communities.

HAPPIEsT MAN MOST HONEST
He Has No Bad Habits and So He ls
Always Prosperous-He Works
for Good Living.

We have noticed the happiest man
many,a time. He works for his liv-
ing and he gets good one. One
thing we notice is ne is a man of
fine habits; doesn't squander a cent
on liquor, tobacco or betting. He
saves his money and is getting ready
to buy some property. He loves his
home, plays with the children, reads
good books and keeps company with
his wife Because of his good habits
he saves a little, which will give him
chance to make an investment.
And then there is another thing
Ke is a reliable man. He does good
work. He will not smooth over bad
work. He is honest in whatever he
does. Every dollar he gets represents
Just that much of honest labor. 1t is
this, largely, that makes him pros
porous and happy.
Water keeps its own level, and so
does conduct and character and pros
perity. If man is mean and low,
so will the consequences be. He cam
not be one thing and his experience
another A low-lived man may grow
rich and happy, but it will not be
for long. Anybody can tell what's
the matter with a man if he is with
him a day; he will soon see if the
other is a spleen, a stomach, an up
lift or a hope.-0hio State Journal.
