Unhappy in Friendship.

Many people expect too much from their friends. They may themselves be so thoroughly genuine and sincere that they expect all their friends to be the same, and when they discover little faults in their idols they feel the disappointment most acutely. Do not pitch your standards too l1ign, hen you are less likely to have your idol shattered. Try to remember that friends will never disappoint us if we observe two simple rules: CD to find out what they are; @ to expect them to be just that.

Eleven million male citizens from twenty-one to thirty years old, 1nelu- sive, will be subject to draft by the president of the United States.
 But in order that men under twenty one and over thirty may serve their country if they so desire, the measure provides for the acceptance-of yolun- teers over eighteen years and under forty years.
 The gigantic number of men subject to draft will not all be called to the colors by any means. The proposed law gives authority to the president to draft as many men as he deems nee essary to fill up the regular army, the National Guard and the conscription force of 100000 men.
 2,001 ,000 Armed Men.
 It Is estimated by the war depart ment that as result of the authority conferred and the action to be taken i2001,00 officers and men will con- prise the military establishment of the United States.
 Under the new bill agreed to author ity is given to fill up by draft the reg iular army and the National Guard to war strength, and to raise outside this 100000 men, 500,000 to come as the first quota.
 The war strength of the regular army is about 100000 men. It has now about 135,OOO men and is short about 155,000. The National Guard has war strength of 625,000 men. It has now about 125,0O0 and is short about 500,O0O men.
 Therefore, on the first call there can be taken for war service about 5000 men to fill up gaps in the regular army and National Guard and in addition 50O,000 as the first quota of the con- script army of 100000 men. l In the first draft 1t is possible about I, ,155, ,000 men will be taken for active service, leaving authorization under the present bill to call out immedi- lately 500,000 more for another con- script army.
 No Place for Roosevelt.
 The action allowing Col. Theodore Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for ieign service has been eliminated.
 What the colonel will do now that his pet project is incapable of realiza- hon is a question. It Is generally un- derstood that President Wilson Is ab- solutely opposed to the idea of vol lunteer organization under command of the colonel.
 Pay for enlisted men and non- commissioned officers was agreed upon as follows:
 Men now receiving less than $21 per month are increased to $31 per month those who received $24 are increased to $32; men who receive $50, $36 or $40 are increased $6 each; men who receive $45 are increased to $50. Army Officers Pleased.
 Army officers received notice of the age limit with pleasure. They had expected a higher maximum, though they would rather have had the orig anal ages of nineteen to twenty-five.
 A new section in the bill authorizes the president to organize and equip three machine-gun companies for each infantry and cavalry brigade and four machine-gun companies and an armored motorcar for each in- fantry and cavalry division.
 An interesting change Is that the draft will not be based upon the num- Der of persons available for serv- Ice" as first proposed, but upon the population.
 A man may register by mail, if nec- essary. Fraud in registration, exam lpation. etc., is punishable by the sane Imprisonment, "or. if subject to

MAKING EFFORT TO
 AVOID FOOD WASTE

The big planters of the Scott neigh borhood, near Little Rock, who long have been recognized as the most up- to-date body of farmers in Arkansas, anl also the most prosperous, are go- ing to raise more food and feed stuffs than ever before, and they are making concerted effort to avoid waste. It is not necessity that compels them to do this, for all of them are financially able to buy practically any thing they want. But it is their idea that by avoiding waste they can do their bit" toward making more food available for shipment to the Allies in Europe.
 The idea first was suggested by Fl. c. Brown, secretary of the Scott Cot ton Growers Association and one of the most enthusiastic members of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce. MT. Brown is practicing what he breaches, for he has installed in his home a corn grinder Instead of buy ing flour, he buys wheat and makes 6I. uses less wheat and saves four dollars barrel, and he says that the whole wheat bread is much more paltable than that made from the ordinary commercial four He intends to stick to whole wheat four, war or no war.
 MT. Brown outlined his ideas at a meeting of the wives and daughters of the Scott planters, and they have entered enthusiastically into the cam- paign to eliminate waste. They have held meetings with Mrs. Houston Gean, teacher of domestic science in the Scott school, and she has suggest ed many ways of saving.
 Also MT. Brown has suggested to the planters that they talk to the ne groes on their plantations and urge them to avoid waste. For one thing, he said, that most negro tenants have more dogs than they need, and that if the surplus dogs were killed, some saving would be made. He said that many negro tenants keep a horse just to drive around on Sundays, animals that are not really needed for work. He suggested that such animals could be sold to persons who really need them, and to whom the cost of feed ing would not be an unnecessary ex- pense.
 s"Too much cannot be said on the subject of raising more feed and food" says MT. Brown. However, vie feel that the conservation side of the question has been overlooked, and we feel that if properly investigated and handled, just as much good can be done as by the production of more food crops. It is very hard for people who always have had plenty to believe that in few months the necessities of life may be scarce and hard to get. But remember that the people Of Flu rope are living on half rations to none at all, and we must feed them or they will starve. This war may last only a. few months and it may last for years, especially if Russia should make a separate peace.
 There are many ways by which each of us can cut down our living ex- penses, the amount of what we eat, and the value of what we eat, and while we may be able to buy all we want, we should remember that the food that we can do without and thus save, leaves that much to help some one who needs it."

military law, the individual shall be tried by court martial and suffer such punishment as a court-martial may df rect"
 Dry Clause Drastic.
 The prohibition provision is exceed ingly drastic. The president Is au- thorized to make regulations govern ing the prohibition of alcoholic liquors 'in or near" military camps. Not only can liquor not be sold or SUD- piled but it will be illegal for any person to have In his possession any intoxicating or spirituous liquors at any military station, cantonment, camp, fort, post or officers or enlisted mems club.
 It will be unlawful for anyone to sell intoxicating liquor, including beer, to any officer or member of the military forces while In uniform.
 Likewise, the social evil is guarded against through the suppression and prevention Of the setting up of any houses used for immoral purposes.
 The fact that under the authority of congress the president is author ized to call 100000 men to the celors is expected to have great moral ef- feet in Germany. It Is quite true that the entire force he can commander at this time will number two and quarter million. But even this num- Der would constitute a re-enforcement which British and French officers say would assure victory if employed in France.
 Could Relieve British.
 England to date has raised some 6,0OO,000 men. With the exception of couple of million these men are at the front in France, Belgium, Egypt, the Balkans and Mesopotamia.
 What the president and Secretary Baker desire first and above all Is to train the officers and men. When they are ready to fight the drilled troops of Germany, then probably they will be sent abroad, and not before.
 But Germany doubtless will watch with increasing anxiety the prepared ness of the American people and will realize that peace will be most desir- able and necessary, before they are ready for service in France.
 Officers Go to France.
 Three army medical officers-Maj. William L. Keller and Capts. Daniel P. Card and George M. Edwards-were assigned to duty at the French military hospital at Ris Orangis, France.
 Organization of two reserve air squadrons for the army was authorized by Major General Scott, chief of staff.
 The first class at West Point will be graduated August 30, the war depart ment announced, and immediately com- missioned to supply 154 highly trained officers to aid in the instruction of the first 500,000 selective draft army to be called to the colors some time in Sep- tember. Under normal conditions the cadets would have completed their course in June, 1918.
 Women Form Committee.
 The woman's liberty loan committee has been formed. Announcement to this effect is made by the treasury de- pertinent.
 The committee met in the office of the secretary of the treasury. The members present were Mrs. George Bass, Mrs. Antoinette Funk and Mrs. Kellogg Fairbanks of Chicago, Mrs. Clifford Dudley of Tennessee, Miss Pierce of Kansas City. representing Mrs. Guernsey, and Mrs. John o. Mill Ter of Pittsburgh.
 MT. McAd0o said he expected the committee to aid in inducing the wom- en of the country to invest in the bonds being issued by the government.

why It apparently produces so much
better results than were obtained
