Within the past two or three months
nearly a dozen towns in the state
have been favored with free lectures
on the methods used in offering first

citizens of the state by the Colo ado
School of Mines and are deliver ed by
Professor James C. Roberts, wha is in

The New York Times finds great

the law lays upon the membership of
the board itself. Mr.. Baker lives near

was tolerably liberal run of cattle
for Tuesday, some 1922 loads, about
5000 head being reported in up to
noon. All classes of buyers seemed
to want the strictly good to choice
beeves at not far from steady figures,
but on the plain and partly fatted
steers 1t was a rather slow deal from
start to finish, with prices a shade
lower than Monday and around ESQ
35c lower than the best time last
week. Dullness seemed to be the main
feature of the market for cows ard
heifers for the same reason that the
trade in beef was slow, packers not
having refrigerator cars to move the
beef, strictly good to choice heifery

A very generous run of hogs put in
its appearance here Tuesday Esti-
mates called for 81 cars or $1,000
head. The. hog market was rather
draggy affair at the opening, neither
packers nor shippers doing much the
early part OF the morning Buyers
were all ont for declines of close TO
10c but sellers refused TO do anything
until they had given the market a
good try out. The hogs that had been
sold up TO II o'clock were around 56
10c lower. Statesmen did not expect
the general market to be more than
a nickel lower. which would put the
bulk of hogs at S11S561212, with
top of s122O.
A liberal run of sheep and lambs
was in sight for Tuesday, some sixty
nine cars or 16.70O head being expect
ed to show up. The market was slow
as the result of great many trains
being late Tuesday. A few sheep
had been sold by II O'Clock at good
steady prices, a new record of S14.5O
having been established. A bunch of
Mexicans equalled Mondays top of
s11 so.

FIRST DRAFT MEN
IN UNIFORM SOON
VIII Be Assigned to Regulars
and National Guard.

Washington. July 26.-The race be
tween states for the honor of being
first to fill their quotas under the new
national army bill is on in earnest.
Calling mp men for physical examin.
alton was begm in several regions
Meanwhile. details OF the machinery
for actually ceiling the accepted men
into service and sending them to their
mobilization camps are being worked
out.
Provost Marshal General Crowdef
has already ruled that the claim of the
army attaches to any registered men
as soon as the local exemption board
has posted him as accepted. From that
time on. unless exempted he will be
subject 10 military law and the articles
of war.
Failure to appear when called will
bring the military forces of the pro
vost marshal general in search of the
missing man. and he will be treated
for any Violation of regulations before
a court-martial. This ruling was neces.
sary in order to enforce the prompt
1OIiIb4lntII'F W an az CHACt IilSIl I'm
army orders.
This IS taken as an indication that
the first men selec ted for service NAV
be in uniform before autumn when the
new army is scheduled TO be Quartered
at the various environments.
As sufficient number will be taken
from the first increment to place the
national guard of the several states
and the regular army on war footing
1t would appear that the first called
were to be assigned to these hranche.
of the service.
1t appears probable that the accept
ed men, when the mobilization orde.
for the new army is given. will be first
assembled in their exemption board
headquarters. Their distribution
among sixteen cantonments, General
Crowder said would he governed by
two rules-frst. the section of the law
requiring that they be assigned as far
as practicable, to duty with troops
from their own state. and, secondly,
the location Of the nearest cantonment
to reduce the transportation problem
- much as possible.

To make plain its position, the coun'

THE state council disavows any
purpose to reflect upon the Lutheran
church itself and reiterates its original
statement that it depends upon patriot
ism Of the men and women who com
prise the Lutheran church member
ship and the loyal pastors. The coun
ell repeats that It's charges are not
addressed against the entire Lutheran
church body. but only against those
who have publicly and privately dis
couraged the American cause, an
have shown marked partially for the
cause of Americas enemy"
