the work of assembling the boards in each community under way Justice and fairness to all men, high or low, white or black, will govern in the great task.
 Much must be done before the names of those who will com pose the armies can be enrolled. Millions of registration cards must be examined and classified. Those who are unftted physical y must be eliminated; the quo tas of the states must be assign ed, and the machinery for dis. trioutilg the quota equally through every remote county or precinct of each state must be perfected.
 The local exemption boards will almost equal in number the registration precincts. A mans neighbors will be the judges to pass upon his case. There were more than 125,0C0 precincts, and

equal decentralization will char acterize the exemption boards.
 President Wilson probably will delegate this authority to the state officials.
 Then comes the appointment of the boards of review to which each man who may be chosen by his local board for army duty may carry his case if he feels himself wronged. These will be created for each federal judicial district, and the president may appoint them.
 There is no statement as to the process by which men will be drawn to appear before the ex- emption boards. Secretary Ba- ker has said that something in the nature of jury wheel may be employed.
 Reports today from all parts of the country bore out the indi- cations of last night that the great enterprise had been car ried through without objection or opposition from a sufficient number of citizens to be worthy of mention.

Paris, June 7.-An American transport containing wheat for American troops which are to come later has crossed the At lantic under the protection of an American warship, the Mstin an nounces. The transport is now being unloaded at a French port, the newspaper says.

Returns Incomplete, But Officials Sure
 Virtually All Responded

Washington, June 6.-The mighty roll of honor of Ameri- can manhood had begun to reach Washington tonight from the states that had completed their count of the men of military age registered yesterday. Prelimi- nary unofficial returns show that millions of men await the call to arms.
 The official figures were too Scant for an accurate estimate of the total. The first reports show ed that the Census Bureau esti- mates of eligibles had not been equaled, but officials say the number by which one or two cities alone had exceeded the es- inmates would wipe out the en- tire deficiency of the smaller

Suppose you want to buy a horse. One man brings a picture of a horse; another man brings a real horse. Which interests you most the picture or the real thing?
 The picture tells you noth- ing except in a general way. What you want to know. as a prospective pur- chaser, is in a particular way. You want to know whether the horse is sound of limb and body; how old, sturdy and active it is, and something definite as to it's spirit. The picture tells you none of these things. You can learn them only by in specting the horse closely and seeing it in action.
 It's just as unsatisfactory

Training Camp A Possibility

There has been considerable enthu siasm among the people of Carlisle during the past week over the report that there is a liklihood of training camp be- ing established here. Some par ties were here looking oyer the ground and stated that the loca- tion is ideal. Some plats have b en drawn and submitted ana some favorable reports have been received. One of the great est features in favor of the loca- tion is that it is between two of the best markets in the south, Little Rock and Memphis, and has one of the greatest railroad systems in America running through it. There are no great rivers but an unlimited supply of the finest water can be had at very small cost. The training grounds can be put in shape at very small expense and in so short a time. The viewers should look again and they may see some good features that were overlooked on this first trip.

 We have a high class line of implements for your in- spection. Call and see them and satisfy yourself as to their quality and operating capabilities. That's the safe preparation for buying. We'll be mighty glad to see you.
