Washington. July 1.-THE officia
war department allotment of quotas t
be raised by selective draft for the new
national army and to fill the regular
army and national guard ranks to wal
strength has been made public.
The quotas are assigned on the basis
of proportionate population of each

Because OF adjustments for each state
made by the war department the net
quota in each case is not exactly the
difference between the sum OF the cred
its and gross quota. Herewith is the
war departments allotment:

CORN AND BEANS A BOOST?

There is keen disappointment in
Orofino over the fact that we are to
have no fair this year. From
purely business standpoint county
fair pays, while the social and educa-
tional value cannot be too highly en-
phasized. 1t is a fine stimulant to
better farming, this annual bringing
together of the best products from
orchard, garden and field, showing
what the best farmers are able to ac-
complish. 1t is fine stimulant to
better livestock production to gather
together our finest cows, colts and
pigs, showing what is possible along
these lines. There is real joy and
inspiration in the beautiful exhibits
of sheaf and threshed grain, in the
lucious fruits and the tempting veg
etables. There is satisfaction and
profit in the rivalry among the ladies
in the baking of the finest cake, the
best loaf of bread, and the finest pies.
The display of fancy work is good to
behold. The sports entertain us, and
drive away the blues, while the
crowd. the meeting of John and Tom
and Bill. VINO haven't seen each other
for year, brings joy and happiness
to the farmer who has spent busy
year toiling in mis- field The fair
was called Off thru no fault Of Orofino
business men. Crop conditions which
are general, left us with so little
worth exhibiting that fair would not
be worth while. But there is yet
time for Corn and Bean show this
year, and there is no re; son why such
show, cannot be put on. We have
a good corn crop, and few good pre-
miums would bring out plenty of conf
petition. When it comes to beans the
Orofino district is not surpassed by
any place in the world and our pro-
ducers would be pleased to partici-
pate.

Ed CH|LDERS LOOKS LIKE
PAIR Of MILITARY TWINS,

Conrad, (Montana), Observer
Edward Childers, who was accepted in
the U. S. navy at Salt Lake City
about July Goth, got touch of real
militaryism this week when he found
that he was member of two Of
Uncle Sans branches of the service.
Childers was drawn in the first draft
attire having enlisted in the navy, and
appeared at Choteau for exemption
when the board refused to accept his
application on the grounds of his
previous enlistment. His name,
however, was left on the list by the
local board at Choteau and this week
he was ordered to Helena as a
''slacker. The board is now en-
deavoring to straighten the matter
out, and it is said that several other
boys who volunteered their services
after the registration period are in
the same fix. One Conrad boy, it is
understood, may be brought back
from the navy training camp where
he has been stree July.
