NOTICE TO APPEAR FOR EXAMINATIONS

The official list is here, Crisp coun-
ty will know within very brief time
who is to go among the first under
the selective draft to help this ~coun-
try establish its own safety against
Germany The local board, Sheriff
Ward, OEdiary W. p Fleming, and
Dr. M. r: Smith are working the list
now and arranging to give the official
notice to appear for physical exami-
nation. Their plans are to arrange for
the first mn to appear Monday, Au-
gust 9Th They are summoning 274
men to show up on the first call. This
is double the MURDER NEEDED, but it
is supposed that. FULLY 400 will be
passed before all are securd to make
up the 1877 that will, be taken from
this county. 1t is estimated that fully
two-thirds will disqualffy or claim ex-
emption
Before the full 274 are, secured for
Crisp county 1, 700 blanks will have to
be passed. That is, there are this
many numbers drawn that are larger
than the largest number %fff1s Crisp,
which is 1871 A number larger than
the largest in Crisp goes by as blank
and the next is reached and passed
until the 274 have thus been secured.
A total of 1874 numbers were passed
before those printed herewith were
secured.
The following list is approximately
correct Nothing can be presented as
accurate until the official order of
drawing passes the exemption board
here. The transmitting of numbers in
the news dispatches is the only
source of information to date and that
has been. found inaccurate already
The men whose names are shown in
this list are more than likely the men
who will be called here as soon as the
official drawing records are announc-
ed in this county.

EARLY to Bed. Early to Rise.

Who wouldn't be a farmer if he
could choose his occupation? In ad-
dition to the assured wealth that
awaits the agriculturist because Of the
high prices of his products it now ap-
pears, from statistics of the depart
ment of labor, that he among all call
ings attains the hight average age,
ifty-eight years six months. Book
keepers and Office assistants, on the
other hand, die very young, at thirty
six years six months, when they have
hardly begun to live. The moral OF
these figures is obvious. Let the book
keepers forsake their stools and HE
themselves to a farm. Thereby they
viii be greatly prolonging their own
lives and helping to support their fell
low beings. In the city they are doomed

GRIST MILLS OF OLD GONE
Hardly More Than a Generation Ago
They Were to Be Found Within
Few Miles Of Each N%eighborhood.

The report published i'm a bridgeport
newspaper that the owner of a grist
mill at Sandy Hook, Conn. having Sc
cured a few bags of wheat, ground it
up and sold it to his n%eighbors, to be
mixed with Western flour, the result
being a cheaper material for bread,
brings US back to the days of hardly
more than a generation ago, when
Northern farmers produced grain on
their farms and had it ground in the
neighborlng grist mill, then an insti-
tuition to be found with a few miles
of every neighborhood, says the Provi-
dence journal. There was no indie
ton in those days that the ground
product Of the grain, whether corn or
wheat, was inferior to any produced
elsewhere. But now with the advent
Of modern machinery our civilization
seems to demand Il flour from which
every particle Of nutritious gluten, so
far as it tends to discolor the flour, is
eliminated. AS for homegrown, home
ground cornmeal, that is a rarity
known only to a few old-time epicures
and secured by them with considerable
difficulty.
In the southern Appalachians, how
ever, the Old-time grist mill is still in
use. The farmers there raise their
own corn, and the miller grinds it as
they desire it, usually a bushel at a
grist, from which the miller reserves
q measure for his toll. In the Pied.
mont section of North Carolina and
Virginia, whefe wheat is grown, there
are flour mills for grinding the farm
ers' wheat, and the product is every
bit as good as that of u Western
mills, although it may not be quite III
to their standard of whiteness. BE
fore the Civil var entire cargoes ot
Virginia flour were shipped from Rich
mond to Rio de JaneirO, Brazil, an,
their values returned in shipments O
coffee, but the war ended that trad'
and it never has been revived.

The Children's Home Finding Asso-
citation, which has been the means of
finding many good homes for or
phans throughout the state, appeals
to the people through the press to
furnish a little fruit, while canning,
and states that, as usual, cans or jars
for fruit will be sent to those who
will remember the kiddies with such
presents. Superintendent j.. w. Flesh
err calls attention to the shortage OF
fruit last year, which resulted in
many failing to preserve any n LETT
the children without it.
The Idaho Children's Home Find
err" published by the association takes
this further appeal:
Shall we worry about finances on
account of the war and the high cost
of living? We have too much faith
in the benevolent people of Idaho and
the many friends of the Children's
Home Finding and Aid Society of Ida
no to believe that thew neglect the
homeless children's work, and while
the war will make some extra finan-
cial demands, yet the public will not

a whole does not keen in mind that
charity begins at home in some cases
and that in accord with the words il
the Scripture, "a man would be
worse than an infidel if he failed tC
provide for his own home"
In its editorial columns it tells this
on the editor and superintendent:

Carrier Pigeons in War.

In Germany there are thousands of
carrier pigeon clubs. The army es-
pecially has many stations where pig
cons are trained. This is not exactly
Il secret, but, for reasons, they are
never mentioned. In the present war
private owners have placed their birds
at the disposal of the military authori-
ties. Not Germany alone, but France
and Russia have military carrier sta
tons and Belgium is the principal
country for training pigeons.

Baker had announced yesterday that

ing contests last June and the
balance has been distributed in
the amounts of the cash prizes
stated above. In every case the
money is returned to the cOun-
ties from which it was donated.
This feature. of the work, while
it is only business proposition
on the part of most banks as a
means of securing more and bet
ter corn and livestock, is great
ly appreciated by those who are
helping carry on the contest
work and also by the many boys
and girls who have shared the
donations. Another year it is
expected larger donations will be
necessary as many more young
people plan to enter the contests.
It is not too much to expect 200
entries in the contests another
year. Many of the boys and
girls are already planning for
their work and this interest
alone bespeaks a successful con-
test. If any interested livestock
men wish to announce pig or
calf prizes to the winners | will
be glad to announce the offer to
the boys and girls who will be
eligible to compete for them.

of space the names of winners

of Club Work
Tracy Agricultural Leader
Writes of Tri-C County Contest
Work in Past Year

During the year 1916 the boys
of the Tri-Counties have done
more work and in many instan-
ces made better records than in
any other year. 1t is true that
better individual records have
been made in other contests but
the general average over the
counties was far better for the
past year due largely to the
greatest number Of boys enrolled
which in turn was due to large
degree to the interest taken in
the work by the several forces
that co-operated; the agricul-
tural teachers, the county super
intendents, live stock breeders
who offered special prizes, many
Of the banks in the counties
which contributed to a fund of
cash prizes for the boys and
girls of their counties. AS all
reports have been made to the
state leader, Prof. t. A. Erlck-
son, his report on records made
and scores received is Of inter
est at this time. Below is given
the names of the several boys
who finished the corn and pig
contests, and, so far as is known,
the records they have made, and
the krizes they have earned:

three cases of firing in st. Paul
last month which he cites as ex-
amples of the difference in cost
between sensible and nonsense
ible heating. One brought in a
coal bill of SAT, another one Of
$50 and the third one of only
SIC. The last house was equal
ly warm with the other two. IN
it's case, however, the coal was
fired, in the others it was
dumped in.

The same practicaDility char
acterizes other recommendations
Of the commission which relate
more directly to the welfare of
children. Adoption of the en-
tire plan by the legislature is
expected to place Minnesota
among the states leading in this
important branch of legislation.
To lessen the great handicap
of the child that through no
fault Of his own is born outside
the legal marriage, the legisla-
ture will be asked next month to
impose on the adjudged father
Of such a child the same respon-
sibilities that rest upon the faith
ers of more fortunate children.
There is strong sentiment in
the commission toward amend
ing present laws to permit the
illegitimate child to share equal
ly in the estate of his adjudged
father and thus remove the last
legal shadow over children of
that class.
The commissioners, selected
for their experience and knowl-
edge of child welfare problems,
at frequent hearings at the state
capitol are finally perfecting the
general plan by which the state
will better protect and care for
it's dependent, neglected and de-
linquent children. 1ne work is
commanding the attention of
many charitable people who are
appreciative of the need in the
state of more effective laws to
insure the well-being of unfor-
tunate children.
