There has also been comment on the
fact that army officers who are in a
position to grant exemptions often
grow rich rapidly. Whatever the ac-
tual merits of the case, the Argentine
public believes anyone can escape mil
itary service if he has "pull' or
money enough. When you ask why
the 2O-year-old son of some prominent
man is not in the army, the answer
is almost sure to be, ooh, his father
fixed that" Naturally, proof of
crookedness generally is lacking, but
the masses have no confidence in the
honesty of the system.
Army officers receive an excellent
military education at the Argentine
West Point-the Colegio Militar, at
San Martin. Provision is also made
by which common soldiers may rise
to commissions, though very few sue
ceed in doing SO.
There is regular army of volunteer
professional soldiers, 1000 strong.
Then come the conscrips. Their num-
Der depends upon the congressional
allowance. The intention is to keep
the military establishment, including
the regulars, up to 1900 men.
Theoretically every male Argentine
is a soldier from 20 to 45. In prac-
tce the period of service is one year
Afterward there is no further train
ing though the law provides for a
| little.
There are always many more eli
gibles than there are army vacancies.
Numbers are drawn to determine who
must and who need not serve. Those
who draw the highest numbers go
into the navy, where the period Of
service is two years, instead of one.

FARMER LEGISLATORS
OPPOSE GRAIN MEN
(By United PresS)

Minneapolis, Feb. 14.-While North
Dakota's farmer legislature today ar
gued for the establishment of ter
minal elevator at St. Paul, a rival of
this city, the national annual con-
vention of the Farmers Grain Deal
ers Association, which is not in SYM
pathy with the farmers political
movement, met here for a two-day
session.
The Non-Partisan League, the po-
litical organization that gained COM
plete control of the North Dakota ad-
ministration this year, never has
taken the Farmers Grain Dealers As
sociation to it's bosom. Instead, the
farmers of the Northwest have been
taught by the Equity Association, the
marketing force behind the Non-Par-
tisan League, that the Farmers Grain
Dealers Association is controlled by
the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce, against which the wrath of the
Non-Partisan League is primarily
aimed.
Open disapproval of the elevator
men to the proposed terminal eleva-
tor plans at st. Paul may be ex-
pressed at the sessions this after
noon.

"Save the Babies"

These are authentic quotations from
the booklet on babies by DR.. L. EN-
met Holt of Columbia University and
DR.. Henry l.. X. Shaw of Union Uni
versity:
"The nursing mother should: Keep
herself well, as that keeps the baby
well; nurse the baby even if you can
do it only little, then fill out with
the bottle. Don't give it up. Avoid
salads, pickles and spicy foods. Eat
wholesome food. Avoid tea, coffe and
alcohol. Drink lots of water. After
the baby is 4 months old, omit night
musings, giving six musings in "a
hours. Drink lots of milk. After
baby is months old, nurse every
hours or five times a day. When
he cries between feelings give him
cooled boiled water, plain. Give him
nothing else without doctors ad-
vice.

Argentine Cornnoners Are
Grurnbling at Conscription

Iconscrips is comparatively trifling.
The next numbers, counting from
the top downward, mean army con-
scription. Those who get the low
numbers escape-maybe. The first
thing is to try to beat the lottery.
The next, for the losers, is to Sc
cure exemption, on the ground of
physical unfitness, or because the
conscript is the only support of rela-
tives.
Critics of the law complain that
the number of conscripts of wealth or
influence who secure these exemp-
tions is out of all proportion to those
who have neither.
Even if the conscript fails to get
off entirely, he can try to pass GER
tain educational tests and prove him
self sufficiently adept at drill and
craftsmanship to trim his period of
service to three months. Again, the
complaint is made that the more mon-
ey o. pulp young man has the
surer he seems to be to meet these
requirements.
What excites extreme Indignation
is that poor young man may be
compelled to "do his service" for no
reason except that rich one has es-
capped. For instance, suppose a vii
lage containing 100 eligibles is called
to furnish so conscripts. In theory
a poor youth who draws a number
below so ought to escape. But if rich
youths who have drawn higher num-
hers are exempted the military author
tiles proceed down the list below so
until they have made up the neces-
sary quota.
An upper class Argentine who has
been excepted or who has gone into
the army because he likes military
life, an Argentine officer, can make
out case in favor of the Argentine
system, because the army really is
good. One of the lower class, who
did not want to serve, but who had to,
takes an entirely different viewpoint.
There are about 1000 of the latter
to every one of the former. Anybody
can prove this by talking to an as
sorted lot of Argentines. Those who
are exempted are taxed on a gradu-
ated scale, running up to maximum
of 25 pesos ($1D yearly.
Common soldiers are paid pesos
t$2.20) monthly. Officers salaries
range pretty well up to United States
army standards, varying from 21O
pesos ($92.40) for subj b-lieutenants, up
to 1,600 pesos ($704) monthly for lieu
tenant generals.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Buenos Aires, Jan. Is (By maiD-
Argentina has an excellent little ar
my-well- -officered, well-trained, we'll
equipped, well-clothed, well-fed, we'll
sheltered and generally well treated.
But the system by which it's ranks
are filled is savagely criticised by the
Argentines. The critics are the bulk
of the population, who assert that the
chest people" do not do military du-
ty, or, if they do, do it as officers.
1t is the national system of con-
scription which comes in for popular
denunciation. Argentine being re-
public, the question may be asked why
the law is not changed if the major
ity do not like it. They are trying
to change it. Several bills have been
introduced and some strong speeches
made in Congress, but it is slow work.
The militarists are influential, if not
numerous. Besides, the ballot has
not been genuinely free in Argentina
for very long.
"Caramba!" chorused the Argentine
masses, when told that the United
States thinks of adopting a system
of compulsory military training mod
eled after their own. "Caramba" is
an elastic Spanish expression which,
in tbic caSe meant apprOXimatelY
"Well, what do you think of that?"
The Argentine system of compul-
sorry military education was the sub
ject of a nasty scandal five or six
years ago, when there was cleaning
out of the medical staff whose duty
it was to make physical examinations
of young men of military age. The
charge was that these examinations
had resulted in wholesale exemptions
of rich or influential youths.

Used Q be that daughter. adhered strictly to mothers methods of home mana cement. They used cer- they were favorites of a former
 tain baking recipes simply because they were favorites of a former gen eration.
 Times have changed radically. Col leges and clubs have been establish ed for the express purpose of de- termining just which baking methods and baking materials are best. Many domestic scientists devote their lives to rsearch and experimental work. They are cOnsantly testing food pro- ducts. They conduct exhaustive comparative tests. They accept and endorse only such methods ana baking processes as have been found superior through scientific measure ment of merit. These decisions are given wide publicity. The result is that the housewife of today produces more wholesome and perfect bakings at less cost than ever before.
 In Investigating the decisions hand ed down by pure food specialists and eminent domestic scientists, it is plainly evident. that the overwhelm- ing majority employ. and advocate the use of Calumet Baking Powder Calumet has won this popularity among experts on merit alone. They show no pfrtiality. To obtain their approval product must possess su- reriortv. Calumet has been grant ed that approval for several reasons first because it is absolutely sure
 in results, never fails and next be cause it is perfectly pure, leaves no trace If harmful residu in foods. Then-because it produces better grade of bakings-cakes. biscuits. etc. that are remarkably light. ten der and tasty. Finally-because of Calumets surety and moderate price it is the most economical of all Bak- ing Powders in cost and use.
 This verdict-this hearty endorse ment coming from experts who have proved Calumet's excellence beyond dispute certainly indicates that Calu- met gives the housewife the utmost in Baking Powder value.

If it is to their advantage to call a strike now they will call it without any regard to the war.

WALTER DoUGuAs EXPLAINS
 THE NEW COPPER PRICE

The following statement on the re- suit of tfe action of the government in fixing the price of copper at 23 1-2 cents on wages was issued by Walter Douglas at Bisbee.
 The understanding as to wages reached between the government and copper producers is that the rate of wages paid for the month of August Will he maintained while the price of copper is fixed at g 1-2 cents. In cases where sliding scale contracts ate in force, the sliding scale will not be carried down when the wages un- der it would be fixed at below the August rate. In all cases where advance in wages over the August rate have been since granted. such fn- crease must be maintained.
