 FARM LAb0RERS
Labor Supply Will Not Be Interfered with in the SeIeCtiVe
 Drafting.
FARM HELP IS NEEDED

WASHINGTON, May 25.-In q let ter to Senator w. l.. Jones, Secre. tary of War Newton D. Baker says that the first 500,000 men under the selective service will not interfere with labor supply.
 The Secretary says: "The matter of obtaining labor during the har- vest season is very important one and is now receiving very earnest consideration by all the departments of the government. Owing to the de- pleted state of our supplies, it will not be practicable to call out the first 500,000 under the provisions of the act now under consideration by Congress to increase temporarily the military establishment of the United States until about September 2, so there will be no appreciable interfer- ence with the labor supply of the country until that date. When these men are called they will have to be continuously trained with the colors until they are sent abroad.
 "As the period of training before they are sent abroad will be at the best all too short, in justice to the men it must be intensive and con tinuous. For this reason I do not thing it would furnish soldiers for work in the harvest fields

For eleven months they drilled, drilled, drilled,
 The War Department was waking up. The lessons of the world war were eagerly seized upon. Every phase of the European war was stu died and the results drilled into the men.
 Modern trench fighting was prac- ticed day by day. The army dug the new style trenches and practic- ed going over the top
 t was severe training.
 But the fruits should send a thrill through the nation when they 'go over" the front trenches the first time in France.

 Calls Them the Finest Troops in
 the World
 In the thirteen-mile column. with Pershing at the head, they poured si- lently down the Gus:y slope, amid sand clouds from the hot desert.
 The little group on the border stood fascinated.
 Then the attache, who had seen of men train, fight and die, broke the silence.
 They're the finest body of fight ing men in the world" he said
 They've had such training as no other army has had. And ill them is the spirit of you Americans. l don't know what it is, but l can see it in the swing of their shoulders and the rhythme of their march"
 These men are now waiting for the word.
 As an old grizzled, first sergeant said while the troops were march ing out:
 They'd follow Black Jack Persh- ing to he'll"
 And Black Jack" Pershing is the man to lead them there if need be.

CREDIT NOTICE

An examination of our books dur ing the past few months discIoses where we have extended credit over the 30 day period the old accounts remain on our books. Accounts which grow so large that no busi- ness based upon fair dealing and reasonable profit can carry the bur den. Therefore, it has been decid. ed on and after May 1, 1917, all patrons of this firm-without excep- tion-will not be extended credit when an old account extending be- yong 30 days remains on our books. We desire to impress upon our customers that the constantly in- creasing cost of living is further ad- vanced by careless credits adding to the dealers yearly overhead, and it is with view of keeping prices to the lowest limit, promoting honesty and fair dealing that this action is taken.

The complaint alleges that the plain tiff company owes a certain build ng used as a boarding house and that the defendant is the owner of an adjoining building which is used as public lodging house. It alleges that the defendant has allowed his tenants to dump garbage on the ad- joining property until the property is unrentable and has been so for the past year

(by WEBB MILLER)

United Press Staff Corresponden
 WASHINGTON, May 19. (By mail. )-"The finest body of troops in the world"
 That is what foreign military ob- server exclaimed as Pershing's veter- ans swung across the Mexican bor- der four months ago.
 They are the men who will make up "Pershings 25,000"-the first of the American troops ordered to France.
 They are the men who pushed across the hell hike"-23 miles with out water in a whitening sun in one day, and pitched camp singing.
 America and the allies will be proud of these men. They are the flower of the army.
 In the 12,000 men who followed Pershing into Mexico after Villa, the United States has the best body of trained men-and trained for real fighting-that can be found in the world
 Pershng Gives Them Severe
 Training
 After the first rush into Chihuahua the little army settled down on the sun-baked plains to wait. While they waited, Pershing gave them the hard est continuous round of training any American forces have ever under gone.

BABYLON HAD LIQUOR LAWS.

Saloonkeepers seem to have been
under restriction in the days of
Hammurabi, king of Babylon, as in
ours. eff the wine seller overcharged
her customer, or sold the drink in
too small a measure" the law set out
that she should be called to account,
'and they shall throw her into the
water" According to the reading of
the statute, the English and CONT
mental custom of having barmaids
instead of barmen seems to have pre-.
vailed. The wine seller was also held
liable if outlaws collected in her
house, and she did not arrest them
and bring them to the palace. While
the business of wine selling was rec
ognized, it was evidently regarded
as unsuitable for some classes. The
law said, eff q priestess who is not
living in NAL gea (convent) open
wine shop, or enter a wine shop
for a drink, they shall burn that
woman."-Case and Comment.

PERIL TRACED TO MOSQUITO
Doctor Ross Credited With Discovery
That Insect Pest Was the Bearer
Of Malaria Germs.

One of the greatest discoveries in
the history of medicine was that of
DR.. Ronald Ross, who, at Calcutta,
in July, 1898, found that the spores
of malarial parasites are concen-
trated in the salivary gland of the
mosquito, remarks the Youths Com
panion. As Doctor Ross himself
wrote, ''The exact route of infection
of this great disease, which annu-
ally Stays its millions of human be-
ings and keeps whole continents in
darkness, was revealed. These mi
mute spores enter the salivary gland
of the mosquito and pass with its
poisonous saliva directly into the
blood of men. Never in our dreams
had we imagined so wonderful a tale
as this" Until lately it was not
known whether disease-spreading
mosquito could infect more than one
person. Recent experiments of the
public health service have proved
that an infected malarial mosquito
can infect several persons without
again obtaining blood from an origi-
nal source of infection, and that an
infected mosquito retains her ability
to infect with malaria for at least
twenty-five days. Even if a mos
quito empties her available supply
of malarial parasites into one man.
she may infect a second man a few
hours or a few days later through a
new generation of parasites. This is
most important discovery, for it
shows that the individual disease.
laden insect is a veritable machine
gun in point of danger, and it en-
phasizes the necessity for stamping
out the breeding places of the mala.
rial mosquito.

NOVELS OF GREAT LENGTH
Modern Serials Do Not Compare At
All With Those That Gave Pleas
ure to Our Ancestors

The historian Freeman once said !:
II never let a man die at the end
of chapter" The modern serial,
or continued story, e1empliies a like
theory of pausing at the very brink
of an absorbing event. We con-
slider a year-long serial one of con-
siderable length; yet in France, in
1910, the first two parts of the CAS-
tree" one of the most celebrated
of Gallo novels, were published four
or five years before the third part,
and several more in advance of the
fourth and fifth parts.
About the same time fuorished
