"FARM AND ARM" is
BATTLE CRY OF ROOSEVELT

Chicago.-"Farm and ARM" With
this battle cry, Theodore Roosevelt
entered Chicago and in two stirring
speeches urged that every energy OF
the entire nation be directed toward
making the potential might of the Uni
ted States felt in the war against Ger.
many, and he demanded that not an
hour be lost in dispatching troops to
the trenches. His first speech was
made at luncheon at noon; his Sec
ond at a mass meeting in the i'm
mense amphitheater at the stock
yards.
He advocated universal training as
a permanent policy; he advocated con-
scription. but he pleaded that he
should be allowed to recruit division
for immediate service with the Allies.
He was roundly applauded when he
urged that, during the war, the use
Of grain for the manufacture OF alco-
rolic beverages be prohibited.
II want to get Americans into the
trenches of France at the earliest pos.
sible moment to show our Allies that
we are as ready as they to shed our
blood for the cause Of democracy. I'd

Roosevelt I'm willing to go in the
train of any competent officer who
may be selected. To get the divi.
sion there is the thing"
On his arrival Mr.. Roosevelt was
given reception reminiscent Of the
days when he was president.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN PLANS
Tract Should Be Large Cough to Fur
nlsh Abundance Of Fresh Fruit
and Vegetables.

(Bv FRANK p. CROSS. Department Of
Horticult".c. Oklahoma A. and NJ. Col
lege. Stllwater)
No farmStead is complete without
that blessing to the hOme-the orchard
and garden.
This need not he an extensive tract
Of ground. but should he large enough
TO supply an abundance of fresh fruit
and vegetables throughout their sea-
son. Fruits may be grown for sum-
mer and winter use, and vegetables
for summer and fall.
In choosing varieties, always plan
for a succession by choosing early,
medium and l,tc kinds. In vegetable
growing this same end may be accom-
plishcd by successive planting of the
same variety. Fruits and vegetables
are on ever-welcome addition to our
diet, and are easily within the means
os all if grown at home.
4 little time and attention given to
the garden and orchard will pay well
In health and contentment.

MARSHAL JOFFRE EAGER
FOR U. s. FLAG IN FRANCE.

VIII Hasten End Of War and Cement
Friendship With America.
shington.-Marshal Joffre told
the people Of America through Wash
ington newspaper correspondents who
called upon him, that France cherishes
the confident hope that the fog Of the
United States soon will be flying on
her battle lines.
Victories sure to be won by the sol.
diers of the two Republics. once more
fighting shoulder to shoulder for lib
erty, declared the hero Of the Marne,
will hasten the end Of the war and
tighten the links of affection and es.
TEEN which nave ever united France
and the United States"
The marshal, replying to questions,
said he deemed it advisable to send
one American unit at time to France
rather than to wait for the complete
equipment of big army, because of
transportation problems.
Marshal Joffre told correspondents
that he did not thank Americans
now with the French army should be
withdrawn to serve under the Ameri.
can flag except possibly few spec.
Ialists who might be useful in devel
oping the training of the new Ameri.
can force. He paid hearty tribute to
the valor OF Americans now fighting
In France.
American officers, he believed, were
fully competent to train American
men, and he gave it as his opinion
that and American army would devel'
op rapidly.

In Conference.

Washington.-The House shortly be.
bore midnight Saturday passed the
bill embodying the Administration 3
plan for a selective draft.
The vote was 397 to "a.
The Senate passed the bill by vote
Of 81 to 8.
Earlier in the day both Senate and
House voted approval of the Admin.
istration's proposal to raise a great
war army on the principle of selective
conscription, voting down by over.
whelming majority the volunteer army
amendment around which opponents
of the Administration plan had cen.
tered their right.
In the Senate the vote on the volun.
teer amendment was So to 18, and in
committee Of the whole in the House
1t was 279 to SO, supporters of con.
scription marshaling a strength which
surprised even Administration leaders.
On a roll call the House rejected
the volunteer army proposal by a vote
Of 313 to 109, an even greater ma.
jority than that by which the amend
ment had been eliminated from the
bill earlier in the day on teller vote
in Committee Of the Whole.
Whether Congress finally would &C.
cept the staff's recommendations re.
garding the ages between which con.
scription should apply appeared more
uncertain. In the Senate the bills
stipulation that men between 10 and 25
should be liable to the draft was
changed to make the minimum 81 and
rs should be liable to. the draft was
changed to make the minimum 81 and
the maximum q. The, House voted
down all proposed changes in the
Military Committees recommendation
that the limits be fixed at 81 and 40.
These and a number of lesser
amendments will be considered as
speedily as possible in conference in
the hope that the measure may be
sent to the President for his sigma.
ture by the middle of this week.
Senator Harding's amendment, de.
signed to permit Colonel Roosevelt to
raise four infantry divisions for SER
vice in France, was adopted by the
Senate 56 to 81. Many Democrats
voted for it. A similar amendment
was rejected by the House.

feet was finally stricken out by the
House by a vote of 351 to 25, and it
was agreed that the committee should
bring in a seperate measure.

Washington.-Sold will take on
an aspect entirely new to American
military science when training of the
forces to be assembled under the draft
bill begins at the 16 training canton
ments. Careful plans laid by War
Department officials provide for the
application Immediately of every les
son learned from European battle
fields. and much OF the work to be
done will be new. even to men recent

from the committee room.
There have been insistent demands
from all sections OF the country for
public hearings but none will be held
If present plans are carried out.
A normal tax of two per cent would
be levied by the proposed bill on all
incomes above the proposed exemp.
tins. Above $4,000 and $4,000 and
up to $4,000 four per cent would be
levied. Surtaxes would begin at S5,-
900 and continue upward.
Higher Liquor Tax.
Decision to recommend increasing
the tax on whiskey from $1.10 to 81
a gallon and that on beer from $1.5O
to $3.50 a barrel was reached after
determined efforts to make 1t higher
had failed.
In an effort to protect the manu-
facturer and smoker Of cheap cigars.
1t was decided to fix a graduated tax
on all kinds Of cigars. Cigarette
taxes would be doubled.
Suggestion OF q fiat four per cent
rate on freight and passenger trans
portation proceeds was rejected IN
favor of taxes higher than four per
cent on passenger tickets and four
per cent on freight charges.
A five per cent tax on the factory
cost of automobiles and musical In
struments is recommended.
Amusement places, including mo-
tion picture houses and baseball parks
would pay stamp taxes equal to ten
per cent of their gate receipts.

Would Send Teddy.
Senator Harding's amendment to
the army bill designed to permit Col.
onel Roosevelt to raise four infantry
divisions to go to the European bat.
tie front was adopted by the Senate
56 to 81. Many Democrats voted for
the amendment.
The announcement as adopted does
not specifically mention Col. Roose-
welt, but its purpose has been well un.
derstood and its author referred to
the fact that it would permit the form
er president to raise troops to go to
Europe. 1t was not discussed at
length.
Senators Ashurst, Broussard, Groe,
Hardwick, Hollis, Husting, johnson,
South Dakota; Kirby, McKellar, My.
ers, Owen, Pomerene, Ransdell, Reed,
Robinson, Salisbury, Thompson, Var
daman and Williams, Democrats, sup
ported the amendment. Senators
Brady, Gronna, LaFollette and War.
rem, Republicans, voted against it.
Farmers Exempt.
Among more important amend.
ments adopted in the House was ono
empowering the president to exempt
from the draft, in his discretion, per-
sons engaged in. agricultural work.
Another would require each state to
furnish a quota Of men apportioned
according to population, and still an.
other provides that mo bounty shall
be paid to induce any person to en-
list" and that mo person liable to
I,psl.4-----9-,y.-..rrr.rt--1 ..rrr.rt--
permitted OF allowed to furnish q
substitute for such service"
In the Senate there was long de-
bate over proposal to prohibit the sale
or possession of intoxicating liquors
during the war. Several amendments
were adopted, including one to make
it unlawful to sell or give liquor to
officers or men in uniform or to mem
bers Of Congress or other officials, and
then the Senate reversed itself and
adopted a substitute simply forbiddins
the sale Of liquor to soldiers in uni
form, and giving the president wide
discretionary authority to make other
prohibition regulations.
An amendment by Senator Curtis
stipulating that men subject to draft
who voluntarily present themselves
shall be recorded as volunteers, was
accepted by Chairman Chamberlain
and went into the bill.
Another long debate was evoked
over amendments by Senators Thomas
and LaFollette to exempt from con-
scription those having conscientious
objections to military service. Both
were defeated without roll call, and
the bills exemption proposal left un'
changed.

(2) 1t was for all. All needed wash

and all servants must learn, to obey.
(3) 1t signifed sanctifcation. We are

Of renewed cleansing. New light re-
veals new need Of cleansing. (4) It
