brush, tooth paste, comb and brush
and fresh handerkerchiefs.
They will not be allowed to have
any more baggage; they may bring no
food with them. On September the
movement will be on.
At the camp will be the line and
staff officers of the division of which
the camp is the mobilization point.
There will also be the subordinate Of
ficers assigned to the regiments to
be made up of the drafted men.
1t probably will be late in the eve
ming in the majority of cases when
the conscripts begin to report at
camp. Before leaving their home sta
ton, each group will get telegraph
blank from the representative of the
local board with orders to telegraph
to the camp commander when he ex-
poets to arrive at camp. These tele-
grams will be sent from several sta
lions ahead as soon as the conscript is
able to Judge whether the train will
be on time at the camp.
In this way the camp commanders
will be able to check up and see that
the full quota has arrived, that no man
tried to escape by getting off at some
station along the line.
Full lists of the men forwarded will
be wired ahead by the local boards
and these will be checked off as the
men arrive.
This process will continue five days
from September to September 9, in
elusive. At the end of that time 5
per cent Of the quota of each local
board will have been forwarded to the
camps.
The men rejected in the army test
will be given tickets and sent home.
Instructions will be wired to the local
boards from which they were drawn
to call up other men to take their
places.
The next movement will be on Sep
TENDER 10, when 40 per cent of each
districts quota will be called out. Ar
my officials believe the men already
under training in skeleton companies
will be able to assimilate this influx
and there will be no confusion.
The third quota of 40 per cent comes
on October 8; fourth of Is per cent
completing the mobilization, will be
called for a later date.

EVERGREEN HIGHWAY
MEN IN BISBEE
Arizona Town Gives Good Roads
Boosters from this State a
Warm Welcome

The .Bisbee, Arizona, Daily Review,
in its issue of August 81, published
the following account of the visit to
that city of the Evergreen Highway
promoters:
Bisbec gave the Evergreen High
way promoters from the state of
Washington, a splendid welcome yes
terday, eliminating in banquet at
the Country club last night. This pro-
posed continental highway runs right
thru the center of Cochise county with
Tombstone, Bisbee and Douglas as the
poulation centers on its route. Bisbee
appreciates fully the manifold advan-
tages of this highway, and undertook
to show these delegates just how she
feels in the matter.
The doctrine of good roads was the
topic at the banquet and it was gone
into right deeply by all the speakers.
Our guests, Capt. I. M. Howell, of
Olympia, Wash, and A. ]. Elrod, of
Seattle, made fine impression. They
are earnest, enthusiastic and practical.
They believe in the Evergreen High
way. They are confident that it will
help their state and every state thru
which it passes. They hit hard and
stick to the point.
This proposed highway is to connect
the north with the south. All the ar
teries of travel in the west are across
country; this one will be cup and
down."

county that resulted in the thousands
of dollars being spent here to build

THE SMALL COMMUNITIES.

A problem that requires the at
tention of our leaders is the small
Jewish community of the smaller
towns of the country, communities
consisting of from a dozen to fifty
or more Jewish families. AS rule
such communities have no modern
English speaking rabbits or teach
ers, because they cannot afford to
pay the necessary salary. The
young generation is growing up
without any religious instruction,
without any Jewish guidance or
stimulation, and the older people,
too, in the course Of time become
callous aid Indifferent. The re-
suit is that when some emergency
arises that calls for Jewish activity
in all communities, the large and
the small, that calls for generous
giving in support of some cause,
the small community is slow in re-
spending. It is not organized for
work, and is not in touch with the
current of Jewish life. 1t is not
trained or accustomed to such
activity.
And yet the small community,
consisting as it generally does of

THE CENTRAL CONFERENCE
OF AMERICAN RABBITS.

Thursday evening the annual
convention of the Central Confer
ence of American Rabbits began it's
sessions in the city of Buffalo and
will continue it's deliberations till
July 4. No momentous problems
will this year come up for discus
sion. Things are moving along
very smoothly in the liberal syna-
cog of America. No serious diff
iculties are encountered by it's
spiritual leaders. There seems to
be complete harmony between the
pastors and their focks. The
liberal congregations are liberal
toward their rabbis, too, are treat
ing them with courtesy and kind
ness and are willing to be led pro-
vided the leader has a goal to
which he may lead them. And the
rabbis as a rule are earnest-mind-
ed and energetic and take their
position of leadership seriously.
It does not follow, however, that,
because all is calm and smooth
and pleasant, there is no call or
occasion for the rabbis to come to-
gether in annual conclave. There

are some matters of interest to
them and their congregations that
need attention. There is always
room for improvement; there is
always need Of progress. And
even aside from that, there un-
doubtedly is great advantage and
benefit to be derived by the rabbis
from contact and conference. Men
are thus stimulated to renewed and
greater effort. The young and less
experienced may learn from the
older and more experienced. There
results wise counsel from the de-
alterations of numbers. Collect
lively the rabbis may take decisive
action on certain matters that
individually they would hesitate to
commit themselves on.
This years conference, however,
may accomplish something of real
merit by taking sympathetic at
titude toward Jewish nationalism,
the all-absorbing subject of
modern Jewry. Such attitude
would almost seem to be required
by the fact that in the year just
past some of the most influential
members Of the conference have
come out openly as advocates
of Zionism. Should the Conference,
however, refrain from expressing
any sympathy with the nationalist
movement, we hope that the op-
ponents will at least have the good
grace and the tactfulness Of re-
framing from carping criticism,
caviling and sneering. Zionism
and Zionists are entitled to re-
spectful consideration on the part
of all Jews, and especially the
spiritual leaders of Israel.

THE STATUS OF PALESTINE.
Rumors were current in Wash
ington last week to the effect that
President Wilson was about to ap-
point a special commission to visit
Palestine and to present report
on the prevailing conditions in that
country, which would serve as
basis for peace terms regarding
the Holy Land at the termination
Of war. The names of that Com
mission, according to the rumors,
were to consist of Henry Morgen-
thau, former Ambassador to Tur-
key, Lewis-Epstein, and Prof. Fe-
lix Frankfurter, all of whom are
intensely interested in the plan and
project of establishing a Jewish
homeland in Palestine. That the
rumors were not groundless may
be seen from the fact that Mr..
Morgenthau has now actually been
appointed by the President to go
to Egypt, where he is to prepare a
detailed report on the Palestinian
situation for the United States
government.
What the exact intent and pur-
port Of Mr.. Morgenthau's mission
may be can only be conjectured, of
course, at this time. But it seems
safe to say that his journey to
Egypt for the purpose of gather
ing authentic data for an official
report marks the most significant
and most encouraging step that
has ever been taken in behalf and
for the realization of the Zionist
hopes and aspirations since the war
began. It is not too much to sup
pose that it has special reference
to the oft-expressed view on the
part of leading statesmen, both
here and abroad, that Palestine
should be restored to our people.
1t seems to be a direct confrma-
ton of the Zionist claims that Pal
estine and the Jewish question are
inseparably bound up in the minds
of the allies and that they will be
considered together after the ter
mination of war and the conclusion
of peace.-M. S.

the time she went dry to ten days be.

ceived the customary rations of go
pounds of grain, 40 pounds of beets
and 80 pounds of beet pulp soaked in
molasses. She was then fed test
ration of 16 pounds, increasing grad
ually to % pounds, consisting of the
following mixture:
200 pounds dried distillers grain.

until the sixth day, when two pounds
were added, which was systematical

Is there to be no end to the break
ing of records by dairy cows? There
was a time when it was considered
that no COW would ever produce 40
pounds of butter in the seven day
test. but at least 60 COWS have pro-
duced over that amount. And now
the seemingly impossible has hap
pened again, and we have a 5O-pound
COW. The pure bred Holstein COW,
Segis Fayne Johanna, realized the
and electrified the dairy world when,
under an official seven day test end
ing January 8, she established new
worlds record for butter-fat, produc-
ing in seven consecutive days 1908
pounds of milk containing 50.6S
pounds of butter. The new seven day
champion is the property of Oliver
Cabana, Jr., proprietor of Pine Grove
farms, Elma Center, New York. She
is years old, weighs about .450
pounds in color is four-fifths white.
The best previous record of 46.7
pounds was held by a western COW,
Hester Aaltje Gorndyke, pure bred
Holstein owned by M. J. Smiley,
Bellefourche, South Dakota.
The ability of this new world
champion COW to convert dairy ra-
tions into milk and butter is astound-
ing For ten consecutive days she
never produced less than 50 quarts
of milk a day which was rich enough
in butter fat to average Z pounds
of butter per day. In two weeks
time she produced practically her
own weight in milk. The perform
ance of Segis Fayne Johanna is in
deed a wonderful triumph for her
owner and the black and white breed. |
A brief resume of the methods of
feeding employed during the test
should be of interest to all dairymen.
The test was made in a roomy, clean
stall, under the supervision of repre-
sentatives of the New York Agricul-
