This Was the Life.

George Walsh, star in William
Fox's comedy-drama, "This Is the

making of the picture out on the
coast. 1t was like having vacation
to George-just the kind of a picture
he delights n aking. Perhaps that's
why the picture is so good.

One of the most meritorious and
practically valuable laws enacted by
the recent special session of the
Maryland Legislature is what is
known as the Compulsory Work
Act" It is based on the theory that
at such trying times as these every
able-bodied man should be of some
service to his country.
Under it the Governor can require
every able-bodied man between the
age of 1S and SO years to explain
why he is not working. The fact
that man is wealthy will be no
protection for him when the nation
needs him to help in food production
or any other industry essential for
safety and existence.
When the bill was pending there
were many objections and some OF
it's opponents said that it meant
slavery or involuntary servitude.
The argument was made that it was
the privilege of every man to quit
work when he saw fit, but Delegate
Tydings of Hartford demolished that
argument when he called attention
to the status of the soldier. Mr
Tydings is an officer of the First
Maryland Regiment. He pointed
out that the soldier in the field is
not a slave, but he has not the prlvl-
lege of quitting when he chooses.
The organized labor people were
opposed to some of the details OF the
bill. First they feared that it might
be used to break strikes and also
that it might affect seasonal occu-
pations such as glass blowers. They
work only in the cool months. So
the bill was amended so as to meet
the objections and then went
through with little opposition.
The bill, it is explained, is not
aimed at the man who wants to work
but cannot get a job at mis- trade but
at the fellows who never work at all
The measure provides for the as
sigment of able-bodied male persons
between the ages of Is and SO years
inclusive, not regularly and continu-
ously employed, to work in occupa-
tions carried on by the State, the
counties or the city of Baltimore Oh
by private employers. 1t gives the
Governor the power to assign or re-
assign the men brought under the
provisions of the measure.
1t recites that anybody who re
fuses to work will be subject to a
maximum fine of $500 or an inn
prisonment of six months. Failure
to register calls for fine of $50 OF
less.

Lettres de Cachet.

Lettres de cachet was the name given
In France to warrants sealed with the
kings seal ordering persons to be
thrown into prison or exiled. The first
came into use about 1910 and shortly
became one of the popular terrors of
France. 1t is said that no less than 5000
lettres de cachet were issued during
the reign o" Louis XIV. and $4,000 dur
ing the reign of Louis XIV. In many
cases these terrible documents were
secretly sold and used as a source of
Illicit revenue. They were frequently
signed in blank, and the holder of one
Of these royal terrors could write in
the name of any person against whom
he happened to have a grudge. The ma
tional assembly abolished this iniqui-
tous privilege of issuing lettres de
cachet on Nov. l, 1889.

Important-.Order Fall Supplies Now

Last spring many farmers expert
enced difficulty in getting seeds, i'm
plements, and fertilizers delivered
before planting time. The car
shortage of 145,449 cars as COM
pared with surplus of $4,000 cars
a year ago at this time. That means
Il loss of approximately 100000 cars
in one year.
The only possible way to get fall
seeds and fertilizer delivered to the
farmer is by loading all freight cars
to the maximum. The average car
shipments of fertilizers has been 81
tons; the standard freight car holds
SO tons. That means that one car
could and must do the work of two
this fall.
The only way the dealer and the
manufacture can assemble orders
and ship them in full carloads is
through, having the farmers place
their orders early. The farmer must
also haul goods away from the car
promptly upon arrival if each car is
to do the full work demanded of it.
All this may cause inconvenience
here and there but it is not a ques-
ion of convenience: it is question
as to whether or not it will be pos
sible to move all fertilizers out to
the farms before seeding time. Farm,
ers and dealers must cooperate in
every way possible to help the rail
roads and manufacturers accomplish
the task set before them.
Every pound of fertilizer placed on
the wheat fields this fall means
material addit on to neXt years

Bowel Complaints in India.

In a lecture at one of the Des

from India told of going into the
interior of India, where he was taken
sick. that he had bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarr-
hoea Remedy with him and believed
that it saved his life. This remedy
is used successfully in India both as
preventive and cure for cholera
You may know from this that it can
be depended upon for the milder
forms of bowel complaint that occur
in this country. Obtainable every

Rattlino Windows,

In some houses the windows have an
unpleasant habit of rattling at all times
of the day and night when there is the
least wind. In such case an ordinary
clothespin is most effective. 1t must be
split in half and one half inserted on
each side between the framework and
the window or between the sashes. A
good plan is to paint the ciothespeg the
same color as the window frame and
secure the pieces by cord and screw
to the frame so that they will be in
readiness when needed.

HOW THE DRAFT WILL BE
MANAGED.
Lots Are To Be Drawn In Washing
tOn-Men Then To Be
Notified.

1t is expected that the exemption
boards appointed at Washington on
recommendation of Governor Har-
rington will receive their commits
sions this week, and be directed to
meet at once and organize. Accord
ing to the plan outlined, a physician
on each board will be named as the
examiner, and the others each chair
man and clerk.
The duties of these boards are
confined to physical examinations of
the men drafted, but their decisions
are subject to review on appeal by
the judicial district boards. These
boards are to be named by the Presi-
dent and be composed of five mem
bers. When an appeal is taken to
this board it's decision is final.
The exemption boards have been
instructed to meet at points near as
possible where the boards of regis
tration sat earlier in the month.
In the case of counties which have
only a single board these will prob
ably sit at the county seat.
Latest reports from the War De-
partment are that the actual draft
ings will take place in Washington
on a uniform system for the entire
country. Each man of military age
registered is to be given new num-
ber and duplicate cards bearing these
numbers shall be filed, one with the
respective exemption boards and a
second with the adjutant general.
Washington will pick the numbers of
the men for draft, as, for instance,
numbers S, Is, 25, 35, As and so on
up to the highest number in each
unit. In turn these numbers select
ed will be telegraphed to the various
state adjutant generals and the lat
ter will notify such men that they
have been drafted and that they
must at once appear before the ex-
emption boards if they have any ex-
emption claims. At this time the
exemption boards will step in and
sit on physical claims.

WANT LAND DRAINED.
Resolution offered As War Measure
BY Senator Harrison.

Oy OCUcAUOI IlGlAIASODe
The following Resolution was Of
fered as war measure by Senator
Harrison and passed during the
extra session of the Legislature.
The object in having this Resolu-
tion passed was to create demand
for general drainage for the wet
lands of Maryland. Thousands of
acres of Western land have been re-
claimed both by state funds and
through national funds, all of which
is paid back within a number of
years either to the Government, or
to the state in which the work is
done. Maryland has thousands of
acres of land lying idle from the
lack of proper drainage.
WHEREAS, the supplying of food
at a moderate price is the greatest
question before the American people
today; and as Maryland has the
greatest variety of fertile soils of any
State in the Union especially adapted
to growing all kinds of foods especi-
grains, and
WHEREAS, drainage is the first
and most essential problem for sue
cessful Agriculturists, for health and
for the growing of largest and most
successful crops, for the drainage
maintenance of both our State and
County Roads, that the loss from the
lack of proper drainage has damaged
thousands of promising growing
crops, and
WHEREAS, it has come to my
personal knowledge that Worcester
and Wicomico Counties have thous-
ands of acres of land bordering on
the Pocomoke River cleared and
cultivated; rich deposit of soil lies
dormant that is absolutely un-profit-
able solely from the lack of cooper
ative drainage and this condition ap-
plies to almost every County in
Maryland, and
RESOLVED, that the State of
Maryland through the Board of Pub
lie Works be requested to formulate
some financial plan for having this
drainage done and the loan the
money to County in which the work
is to be done at the rate of Three and
half Per Cent (37s per cent?, and
all Of which is to be paid back in
full to the State with interest in
thirtythree years (33) years, or the
whole can he Maid when work ia
completed by the property owner
who is benefited, and
WHEREAS, the Department of
Agriculture through it's Bureau of
Drainage at Warrington, D. c., has
all details for the needs of Drainage
and will assist the State with skilled
men without charge for this purpose
to further the food production at
this time, and
WHEREAS, the locating and
building of additional State roads in
Maryland is now delayed, owing to
the scarcity of farm labor, and
BE 1T RESOLVED, that the State
Road Commission through it's Corps
of Engineers now employed take up
this survey of the needs of Ora image,
showing the area now affected of
Maryland's lands in conjunction with
the Department of Agriculture of
Drainage from Washington, D. c.,
and report their recommendations
before December 1st, 1917.

TWENTY.THREE STATES BONE
DRY.
Reed Amendment Prevents Ship.
ment OF Liquor Into Dry
Territory.

| Territory.
Twenty-three States are now bone
dry. At midnight June 80, the Reed
amendment prohibiting shipment of
liquor into any territory where it's
manufacture or sale is prohibited
became effective. Eleven other States
are partially affected by the legisla-
ton, which has been hailed by tenn
perance advocates as the greatest
single step toward abolition of the
liquor traffic yet taken in the ma
tion's history.
The law bars from prohibition
areas, whether States or smaller
corporations, all mail matter con-
tanning advertisements or solicita-
tions for orders for intoxfcants, a
provision designed to aid in enforc-
ing the anti-shipment feature by
suppressing the activities of mail
order houses in dry territory.
Justice and Post Office Depart
ment officials have made extensive
preparations for enforcement of the
statue. United States marshals and
postal inspectors everywhere have
been instructed to be on the look
out for violations. There are heavy
penalties for violations.
Ethyl alcohol is regarded by the
Federal Government as an intoxi-
eating liquor within the meaning of
the act, but methyl, wood and de-
natured alcohols are not so regarded.
No ruling has been made regarding
the status of patent medicines con-
tanning alcohol, and that question
may be among the first to be passed
on by the Courts under the legisla-
tion.
Penalties Are Drastic.
The language of the anti-shipment
section is very comprehensive, i'm
posing a fine of $1,000 and imprison-
ment for six months, or both, on any
person who shall "order, purchase or
cause intoxicating liquors to be
transported in interstate commerce
except for scientific, sacramental,
medicinal or mechanical purposes
into any State or Territory the laws
of which State or Territory prohibit
the manufacture or sale therein of
intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes"
The same penalties are prescribed
for violators of the anti-advertising
section. For a second offense in
either case the penalty is made one
years Imprisonment.
Following are the States wholly
affected by the act: Alabama, Ari-
zona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia,
Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Miss1-
ssippi, Nebraska, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Vir-
ginia, Washington and West Vir-
ginia.
Those partially affected are Cali
fornia, Connecticut, Delaware, Ohio,
Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New
York and Texas.
The following are affected at
future dates: Alaska, January 1,
1918; Indiana, April 3, 1918;
Michigan, April 80, 1918; Montana,
December 81, 1918, and Utah,

JOHN SJURSEN VICTIM
 OF PRACTICAL JOKER

ketchikan has a "meanest man. .' Late Thursday evening, for want of something better to do, or perhaps with malicious intent. this "meanest man" slipped into the Washburn gar age, which was open, and while mo- body was in sight. emptied a bag of emery powder into the hood of Joh Siursen's delivery auto truck. says the Ketchikan Progressive Miner. Friday morning, when MT. Sjursen attempted to start the car, the en- zine commenced bucking, and furth- CT investigation disclosed the trouble. The engine was put into pretty bad shape and necessitated the taking apart of practically the whole work ings. Decidedly, it was a trick of the meanest order.
