GIVING Is FINE EDUCATION.

REFERRING to the splendid edu-
cation the citizens in this country are
receiving on account Of the many
benevolent causes presented by the
war, the Kansas City Star editoriaIly
says:
With the close Of the Y. NJ. c. A.
campaign the people Of the United
States will have contributed more
than $50 MILL ondollars in six
months toward the Red Cross. Y. NJ.
c. A. and other war activities. And
the giving has just begin.
THE Red Cross. for instance, is un-
dertaking extensive relief work in
France. 1t is to take charge Of the
dependent families Of French soldiers
families whose pathetic letters to
husbands and fathers at the front de-
moralized sections Of the fighting
forces last winter. So it is evident
that before American soldiers make
extensive demands of the Red Cross
it will have made large expenditures,
and another campaign for Red Cross
funds must be looked for early next
year. Other funds Will require re-
punishment. We are all going to be
called on to give as we never before
would have thought it possible to
give.
Isn't it a fine education? We are
being trained to consider the needs of
other people and to do our share for
great public causes. We are learning
that We can't live simply for our-
selves. We are getting a vision of
our social responsibilities.
with all this practice in giving,
Kansas City ought not to find the
slightest difficulty in raising funds af-
ter the war for public purposes on a
scale that would have given it apo
plexy six months ago"

TOM SMITH, local representative
Of Bennett & Company, of Chicago,
has the thanks q the Ledger for an
interesting statement showing the i'm
p~ortance Of salt being used TO pre-
serve corr in Whitesides county, Ill.
Bennett & Company, after thor
oughly investigating the matter, have
come to the conclusion that corn
cribbed with salt passes through the
winter in its soft green state, drying
only with the coming Of spring winds
and rising temperature. 1t is also
shown that this corn, although soft,
does not heat, and out in the
spring practically free from any
taste Of salt, and makes the finest Of
feed, bright as it went into the crib,
and absolutely free from mold and
rot, although it may be a little light
in weight, due to moisture drawn from
the corn by the action of the salt.

 DOUGLAS july 3O-Fred H. Moore of Los Angeles, retained as legal repre- sentative by the Industrial Workers of the World, arrived here tonight from Bisbee whence he was deported late today, after remaining about six hours, having been ordered to leave there by the committee of the Loyalty League and later, he said, forcibly placed in an automobile, taken to Osborne June tion, nine miles south of Bisbee and placed aboard an eastbound train

 On Juty 26 interviewed Governor Campbell in Phoenix and received two letters of identification, one to Harry c. Wheeler, sheriff of Cochse county, the other to Jacob Erickson, mayor of Bisbee. The letters were substantially the same.
 After informing him who I was, the letter to the sheriff said:
 '' In behalf of MT Moore, I know I
 
 to the purpose of his visit and beg to thank you in anticipation of affording him all the privileges in the Warren district. which are his due as a law abiding citizen.
 T did not arrive in Bisbee until about 1:30 this afternoon. I registered at the Copper Queen hotel from Chica- go. l was told that Sheriff Wheeelr's office was in Tombstone. l made in- quiries for the mayor at the city hal and was told that he was at work but would be in his office at 4:S0. 1 in troduced myself to the city judge ano was talking with him when a MT Vu- covich came in.

PROMPT WORK BY EXEMPTION BOARDS
 |S ID BE EXPECTED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Prompt and efficient work by district exemp tion boards is expected by government officials as result of stripping all red tape from the procedure of the tri- bunals President Wilson's executive order outlining the principles to govern exemptOns, coupled with instructions to the boards from Provost Marshal General Crowder are regarded here as setting in motion the last phase of the selection process with momentum that insures a minimum of confusion and delay.
 The object of instructions is to inn press the boards with the view that their primary purpose is to select the 1 personnel for the national army in the l shortest possible time. TO that end | they have been informed that no legal precedents bind them and that there need be no adherence to rules Of evl- dence or other technicalities of court procedure.
 Attorney General Gregory set in mo-
 tion today further machinery to in l
 ervoir from which the 6S7.0 900 men of
 the first call are to be drawn. Thou
 sands of men failed to register, it has
 been found, for one cause or another. l Through the district attorneys the de- partment of justice is rounding up these men and when found they will be ! assigned numbers which will insure their being called up for examinat tion
 at an early date They will be given the serial numbers of men near the
 top of the list already permanently dis charged for physical reasons.
 The first report of the local boards on physical examination are beginning
 to appear. As yet, they are not com
 plete enough to make any logical de
 duction as to the probable average of rejection for this reason. The draft
 statistics of the civil war, which
 showed between 25 and 30 per cent re-
 jected on this ground, still are the best
 guide on the question. Such figures
 as have come from the local boards are
 in general harmony with the ole
 average.
 The average of rejections on physica
 grounds in regular army recruiting has
 been far higher, but conditions are en- tirely different with the selective draf forces.
 In many districts where examina tions are proceeding, a large number of men have asked for affidavit blank!
 on which to submit applications for ex. , emption because of dependent fam flies. This is no criterion of the ex , emptiors to be granted, however, a. , each case must be considered on it! merits.

CREDENTIALS OF ATTORNEY
 ARE IGNORED BY BISBEE

Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

BISBEE, July 30.-Fred H. Moore a Los Angeles attorney. was deported from the Warren district late this af- ternoon by deputies and is now on his way to Columbus, N. M. Governor Campbell telephoned shortly after Moore had left for Douglas in an auto mobile, asking that the Los Angeles man be allowed to stay here Moore for the I. W. W.
 Moore arrived in Bisbee this morn ing from Phoenix, carrying letters from Governor Campbell to Mayor Erickson and Sheriff Wheeler, neither of which he presented
 Moore was allowed to remain in Bis bee throughout the day. He called on several local people, among them being the city police judge. He asked for the reasons for the deportation and made general inquiries.
 This afternoon he was asked to come before the investigating committee of the Loyalty League. When he appeared he stated that he had come here as attorney for three Slavonians who owned a restaurant in Lowell and who were deported July IF. These three men, however, have returned to Bisbee and were allowed to remain. Upon being questioned Moore admitted he was the attorney for the l. W. W. but would not state his exact mission in the Warren district. At the end of the conference he was told that he would oblige the committee by returning at o'clock
 Moore failed to return at o'clock and several minutes later he vas found by deputies. He was invited into a waiting automobile, his effects placed therein and he was driven away.
 Between Moore's first and last en- counter with the local committee he got into communication with Governor Campbell over the long distance tele- phone. Governor Campbell, a short time after Moore had been taken to Douglas, telephoned the committee stating that Moore should not be re- moved.
 Moore stated during his interview with the Investigating committee he | lived in Los Angeles but had been sent 1 to Arizona by William D. Haywood of | Chicago, to take care of any cases in
 which | W. WIS were involved during | the labor disturbances in this state. | He said he had intended visiting Pres colt, Miami, Bisbee and Columbus, ! N. NJ
 When asked for his reason for com l ing to Bisbee, Moore is reported to have stated that he came here to look after
 the conditions of any family which
 the I. w. w. members who were de- ported on July 12 had left behind them. | When asked to leave Bisbee Moore declared he was coming back | Neither the president of the Loyalty 1 League nor the head of the Citizens Protective League could be located to-
 night. William Bradfield deputy sher-
 if in charge of tn eWarren district
 stated he had not seen Moore during the latters presence here.
 It was reported here that Moore had
 left the train before it reached Douglas
 tonight and was arrested and being
 held in jail there.
