Wilson Sets Date TO Take
Guards Into Army.
MANY NOW FEOERAL|zEO
Operation Of conscriptlon Was De-
Isyed to Aug. s, So That All Regi.
ments Can ee Taken Into the Army
simuItane ousIy.

Washington, July 10.-Presideni
Wilson has taken the step necessary
to make the entire national guard
available for duty in France with the
issue of a proclamation drafting the
state troops into the army OF the
United States on Aug. 5.
To make certain that the purpose
of the national defense act is carried
out, the proclamation also specifically
declares the men drafted are to be
discharged from the old militia status
on that date. In that way the consti
tutional restraint upon use Of militia
outside the country is avoided and
the way paved for sending the regi
ments to the European front.
Prior to the application OF the
draft, regiments in the northern and
eastern sections of the country are
called into the federal service as M
tional guardsmen, in two increments
to be mobi'ized ON July Is and 25.
Many units are already federalized
and presumably they will be modified
with the other troops from their
states. The guard from the other
states will be modified on the day
Of the draft. The arrangements wss
necessary to provide for movement, oi
the regiments south to their conce1
trations without congestion and to
the same end the division Of states
ino these increments was revised
from the original schedule.
The operative date of the draft was
delayed until Aug. 5, SO that all regi
ments can be taken into the arm,
simultaneously.
Fourteen camp sites for the sixteeI
tactical divisions into which the guart
VIII be organized for war purposes
have already been selected and tn
miliaia bureau is preparing the raj
way routing of the troops to tn
camps. Seven Of the sites selecte'
are in the southeastern department
five in the southern and two In tn
western. The two others will be y

iments to camps and divisions cal

Cal, and the Twentieth, including Ore
gon, Washington and other states u
the northwest. which will go to Pail
Alta, Cal.

The government spends good deal of money in
gathering what call statstcs-that is the accurate
facts regarding the number OF people in the country
and the crops which they produce well as the goods
which they ship other countries and which they import
from foreign lands.
These figures published by the government can save
us from guessing II takes little time and thought
to read them through and understand exactly what
they mean but when have done this we should be
made wiser.
One thing which the government statistics clearly
show is this-for good many years the number OF peo
pie in the country has been increasing faster than the
arm crops In other words do not have as much food
stuff to ship to other countries we use to have.
Now this is great cause for the high price OF wheat
corn and other things which farmers raise.
Besides this the figures show what we might know
in any casehat the nations which at war need more
food and can raise less themselves.
All this shows that the farmer and the gardner is
sure TO get good prices this year and next for everything
which he raise to sell
Now is the time to work and get rch
