GREAT LOTTERY NEXT WEEK
tBy Associated Press.I

WASHINGTON. July ia formal
order by President Wilson drafting
$4,000 men into the military service
under the selective conscription law
was promulgated by the War Depart
mort to-day. together with an official
allotment showing what part OF the
total must be furnished by each State
and Territory.
The only steps now remaining are
distribution by the Governors of state
quotas among the local exemption dis
tricts. and the great lottery. which
probably will be held next week. and
which will establish the order in which
registrants arc to present themselves
for service or exemption.
The men summoned for service will
be used to fill the regular army and
National Guard to war strength, and
to organize the first 100000 OF the new
national army. The total of these
three forces will be l.2G2.aS5 men.
Later another 100000 will be called
out. supplemented by sufficient men to
make up losses and maintain reserve
batta!ions.
In computing the number of men to
be required from the various States.
the government put to the credit OF
each State every man 1t now has in
the National Guard and every man it
has contributed since April / as a war
volunteer TO the regular army.
GRAND TOTAL APPORTIoNED
ACCORDING TO POPULATION
Placing on the debit side of the
ledger the national army of 100000. the
entire National Guard at war strength
and the number of war volunteers
needed April last to bring the regu
lars UP to war strength. the grand
total was apportioned according to
population. This gave a gross quota
for each State. from which net quota
was computed by checking off the
number of national guardsmen avail
able for Federal service and the num-
her Of men given by the State 10 the
regular army>Nince April l. The ap-
portionment was made OIL the basis Of
an estimated grand total for the
United States and its possessions of
los. 36S.o5s Inhabitants. This is a
paper estimate. computed from regis
tration returns, which comes within
The law requiring distribution of
quotas by population, but which
equalizes in great measure the bur-
den that Is to fall upon the i,"5o eS-
emption districts. Zach will furnish.
under this apportionment. the men it's
total registration would indicate as a
fair proportion rather than the num-
Der the actual population OF the dis
trict would indicate. The total Of
these gross quotas is 1,l52.9S5 men.
CREDIT GIVEN TO STATES
FOR VOLUNTARY ENLISTNiENTS
Credit is given to the various States
for total OF 465.9S5 voluntary enlist
ments in the National Guard and reg
u,ars, making the total net quota for
~ States 6S7 900 men.

nmntas for the Snnthern States.

fastest growing industries in
America and is yielding hand
some profits to those farmers

The Journal has it upon good
authority that some of those
who took the most prominent
part last summer in the cam
paign for the II mill school tax
amendment, are doing their
best to defeat every move in the
legislature to secure state uni
formity of school books. It is a
rather peculiar fact that some
of the leading educators of the
state always become very ac-
tive when any movement is
started to increase the school
taxes, and then as soon as the
legislature meets they help to
tharwt efforts to give the peo-
pie relief from the Book Trust.

FIRST CONVICTION
UNDER BONE DRY LAW

Fort Smith, Feb. 5.-The
first conviction in the State of
Arkansas under the newly en-
acted 'bone dry" law was OBJ
tanned by Prosecuting Attorney
Earl u. Hardin here Saturday,
when Earl McCubin was fined
500 and sentenced to 30 days
in jail by a jury in Judge Fish
er's court.
McCubbin, who was arrested
on the night of January 80, as
he was leaving southbound
Frisco train, was charged with
introducing intoxicants into the
State. TWenty-eight pints of
whiskey were found in his pos
session when he was arrested.
McCubbin demanded a Jury
trial. He contended that he had
brought the Whiskey for his
own use, and this did not con-
stltute a violation of the law.
The State contested this theory
and McCubbin was convicted.

Guide the Boy Into

The following article on the
importance of guiding the boy
into right paths is clipped
from an old magazine, credit
ed to exchange" The boy
problem is the biggest problem
that confronts the grown-ups
of today, and as the article
contains so much food for
thought, we are passing it on
to the readers of The Journal.
Guide your boy now, keep
him on the road that leads to
the highest citizenship. This is
a good time to think Of your
boy. If you do not look after
him in the right way someone
will do it in the wrong way.
"Teach your boy to follow
in the footsteps of his father,
to respect the law, to obey his
parents, to regard the rights
of all men. to honor virtue, to
respect womanhood and to de-
pend upon no one but himself
for advancement.
Teach him that the Golden
Rule of life will be found in
the Ten Commandments. They
are short. They have survived
the ages. They stand today un-
changed and unchallenged.
"They comprise the first
great written law given tolman.
Before these few command
ments, all man-made laws fade
into insignificance. Teach them
to your boy. There is danger
ahead if you do not.
