WARS DEMAND FOR MEN

Secretary of War Newton D. Baker
urges men in scientific institutions to
continue their training.
''The Government service will de-
mand more and more scientifically
trained men," said he, "and I hope
those who are in charge of scientific
institutions will impress upon the
young men the Importance of continu-
ing their studies, except to the extent
that they are necessarily interrupted
by a mandatory call under the provi-
sions of the selective service law"
Every effort will be made to use
each students special training in con-
nection with specialized occupations in
the army, to afford technical students
liable to call as great an opportunity
through the National Army as if they
had enlisted.

Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Certificates Stamps, regarded as
''baby" Liberty Bonds, were placed
on sale at the Wauseon and other
post offices Monday morning, Decem-
ber 3, 1917. The first consignment of
the new stamps was received here
Saturday.
The War Savings Certificate
Stamps, to cost $4.12 each, will bear
4 per cent interest, compounded quar-
terly, and will be worth IS each in
1928. To facilitate their purchase, the
Thrift Stamps, bearing no interest,
are issued These will sell at 25c
each and may be exchanged for the
Certificate Stamps.
1t is believed thousands of children
instead of keeping their savings in
penny banks, will buy Thrift Stamps.
The post office has issued handy
stamp books in which the Thrift
charge is made for these books.
eff every boy and girl in America
bought only a few Thrift Stamps
each," said Postmaster Weber, ''the
sum of $25,000,000 would be raised
for the war.
"By saving their pennies, nickels
and dimes, the children, as well as
the grown-ups, will be of great aid
in winning the war by the purchase
of these stamps. At the same time
they will learn the valuable lesson of
thrift and they will be making an in
vestment just as good, in its way,
l as a Liberty Bond"

The average condition of the grow
ing wheat Is not such as to cause peI
feet confidence for its safety during the
winter. by reason of the long con-
tInued drouth following seeding, the
plant did not get proper start. FOR the
state IN general, the wheat Is small
and weak of growth and will not
go into winter IN a condition that will
enable the plant to withstand severe
freeze or frequent thaws. Its pres
ent estimated condition is reported al
"a per cent OF an average, which is one
point less than that of last month, ana
two points less than that of one year
ago. Damage by Hessian fly is very
slight being reported at one per cent
while damage by weather conditions
is reported at thirteen per cent. The

that reported one year ago.

ten-year average production, and ex-
ceeds that of last years by q ,296, ,4yS

corn crop does not compare favorably
with a good average quality. There
is a great deal of soft and mouldy
corn, necessitating very careful sort

KAISER COMEDIES
Announces Plan for Reforming
German House of Lords.
For First Time Includes As
Representative of Labor.

Amsterdam. oct. 6.-The German
government has announced it's plan
for reform of the Prussian house of
lords. according to dispatches from
Berlin today. The plan of represen-
triton is as follows:
Agriculture, As seats; commercial
industry. As; trade. II; labor, AS; edu-
cation, 16; clergy, II; municipalities,
So rural communities, So; land own
ers. "a; burgomasters of large towns.
20. The kaiser is to name 100 repre-
sentatives, among them II princes.
The inclusion of labor representa-
tiVes in the Prussian house of lords is
an innovation. 1t is evident from the
at owe system of representation. how
ever, that the German government in
tends to be extremely careful in per-
hitting labor and the social demo-
Gratis to exert any appreciate influ-
ence among the lords, for despite the
! ia ct that labor is to have an equal
number of seats with the agricultur-
ista and high trade and commercial
bodies, it will be hopelessly out-VOted
or all big issues because of the pres
ehce in the upper house of a large
, number of reactionary influences.
