service. The possibility of exemptions will necessitate the examination of two or three times as many men as are needed.
 The war departments bulletin for the information of registrants says:
 As soon as quotas are assigned to each state and each board, each board will call upon persons whose cards are tIn its Jurisdiction instructing them to present themselves for examination. This call will be posted at the office or the local board and the papers will be requested to print 1t. A notice will also be mailed to you, but the posting Of the 1 list at the office of the board will be deemed sufficient notice to charge you with the duty of presenting yourself
 The law therefore makes 1t your duty to inform yourself when you are called, The mailing is for your convenience, but if the letter never reaches you you can not make that an excuse.
 Watch the lists at the office of your board and see when you are called for examination.
 You must report for physical exam nation on the day named in your call.
 (a) If you are found physically dis qualified the board will give you cer- tifcate which will explain to you what your further duties are.
 Cb) If you are found physically qual- 4 fled and file a claim for exemption within seven days after your call you will be given ten days after filing your claim of exemption to file proof in sup port of your claim of exemption.
 (c) If you are found physically qual- flied and file no claim for exemption or if you do not appear for physical examination your name will be posted to the district board as one who was called for military service and was not exempted or discharged.
 On the eighth day after call or with in two days thereafter copies of the list of persons so posted to the district boards will be given to the press with a request for publication, will be post ed in a place at the office of the local board accessible to the public view, and notice will be mailed to you at the address on your registration card
 Therefore watch the notices posted in the office of the board about ten days after the day you were called and make arrangements for the prompt receipt of mail.
 The above instructions from the war department therefore put 1t up to you.

 The revised system of drawing and the fact that the first numbers drawn appeared to run to the highest numbers left the first call in doubt up until a late hour. The higher numbers drew only 6 few men into the service, while the lower numbers brought in at least 4.5O0. By 8 o'clock, however, there was no longer doubt that the number then being drawn would not be includ- cd in the first levy, and those keeping track of the tally sheets knew about where the young men in whom they were interested stood in the draft.

 There was a great deal of interest oyer No. l and when 1t would come out Of the jar in the gamble for mill tary service for flag and country.

FARMERS KEEP BOOKS
Ascertain Various Sources From
Which They Derive Income.
Many Men Who Have Been Induced to
AnaIyze Their Business by Use
of Farmers Bulletin Are Now
Keeping Records.

prepared by .he United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
By the use of blanks In Farmers
Bulletin 661 an increasing number Of
farmers are analyzing their businesses
in such a way as TO ascertain the vari-
Gus sources from which they derive
their income, the ways in which they
spend their money. the total income
from the farm, and the amount which
should be charged off fer interest on
investment. In this way many of
these farmers are for the first time
making use of practical bookkeeping
methods.
County agents also are making much
use of this bulletin in their work.
They take it to The farmer, sit down
with him, and work out with him a
complete analysis Of his business, so
that he is able to see exactly in what
respects he is losing money and In
what respects he is making it. Fur
thermore, these blanks are frequently
used when farmers write to the de-
partment for advice and assistance. In
such cases 1t Is customary to send
the inquirer the bulletin with the re-
quest for him to analyze with its aid
his business. The information thus OBJ
tanned Is compared with similar in
formation on file In the department
and the specialists in the office Of
farm management are thus enabled to
point out the mistakes which are caus-
ing trouble in any one individual case.
It may be found, for example, that q
dairyman Is spending from three to
four times as much money for labor
as other farmers conducting business
on q similar scale.
To secure the necessary data that
enable the department to determine
whether or not farmer Is conducting
his business as efficiently In any one
respect as he should. extensive farm
surveys are made in representative To-
calities. A group Of from 500 to 700
contiguous farms Is selected and a
detailed analysis Of the business OF
each one of these made by trained ex-
perts. They ascertain what the In
vestment is, how much Of it is in land
and buildings, and how much in live
stock, machinery, feed, supplies, etc.
The production of the farm In crops
and live stock is next studied, and the
returns from the sales of all products
ascertained. The survey also includes
an estimate of the amount Of deprecia-
ton of the buildings, work stock, ma
chinerv, ETC., on the farm. With this in

GETTING Around a Difficulty.

Automobile manufacturers of the
United States do not purpose allowing
a serious matter, such as railway traf-
fic congestion, tQ interfere with their
business, If they can help 1t. When
the big freight tie-up first began to
look formidable, automobile makers
faced prospective loss running into
many millions Of dollars, because, ap-
parently, they could not secure deliv-
cries. Not until then did it occur to
them that, if an automobile was worth
anything ut all, it should be able to de-
liver itself. And now what is known to
the trade as the driveway" has been
inaugurated. The cars leave the fac
tory and arrive at their destination
under their own power. A drove Of
60 cars was recently sent from Cleve-
land to Chicago in this way. 1t is ex-
pected that the "drive-away" will be-
come a fashionable thing during the
coming summer. - Christian Science

AS soon as the onions are three or
four inches high they should be cul-
tlvated, using an ordinary wheel hoe.
1t Is very necessary to continue this
cultivation, especially after every rain,
until the onion begins to bulb. If the
onion field is allowed to become badly
infested with grass or weeds it will be
very expensive to eradicate them
Therefore, II Is necessary to destroy all
grass and weeds as soon as they ap-
pear.
Onions are harvested soon after the
neck begins to shrivel and the top
bends over and commences to turn
yellow. The onions are then pulled
up by hand, the tops wrung off in the
field and the bulbs placed in half bush
ell baskets. They are then transferred
to fiat crates three feet wide and four
feet long, the sides being four inches
high and the ends FIVE inches high. The
bottom of the crate Is made of lattice,
leaving one-half inch between the
strips for an air space.
These crates are stacked one on top
of another in shed where the onions
are allowed to remain until danger of
freezing weather; they are then placed
in storage or sold.

The object of having the ends of
the crate one inch higher than the
