FIRST CALL INADEQUATE.

Judging from the experience of
other cities Cass county's first call
OF TIA men will be wholly inadequate
to furnish the quota of 3S7 men for
the first draft.
The percentage Of eligibles secured
from the list of registrants is not
likely to run higher than one in
three or one in four.
Incomplete figures for Duluth,
showed that out Of 3O5 who appeared
for examination, ia passed the ply
steal test and only 70 remained as
probable members of the first army,
after exemptions had been passed on.
That is an average of about one out
Of four.
Instead Of TIA, it is likely that twice
that number will be called for ex-
animation before the quota is com
plete.
In New York it has been running
about one in five. The percentage of
those found physically fit ranges
from 81 to SIS.
The first 1900 drawn are therefore
likely to be called for examination
in this county.
Charles the Sudden" is what they
call the young emperor of Austria.
The New York World correspondent
says that he has set his. heart on
peace and an understanding with
Russia, and the earliest possible re-
Cancellation with America. and that
this attitude is the cause Of the vast
amount of peace talk emanating
from Germany.

A Column Devoted to the Task of
Keeping Up With North Da-

The Williston Herald has timely
try, in the following editorial:
There is no more effective way
to help the nation than by obey
ing the injunction of the food
administrator to buy and to use
the products raised and manu-
featured in your own state.
There will be plenty Of OPP
portunity this year to make a
start. The rule should be applied
to canned goods by starting with
your own products. The best
kind Of canned goods TO have
in your pantry will he those you
have canned yourself The next
best kind those canned in your
own town or community and the
third best those merely canned
In your state.
Apply the rule to fuel. Use
Ignite coal from North Dakota
as much as you can in prefer
ence to buying outside coal. Ap-
ply the rule to meat products
and to all the manufactured
goods made in this state.
The New Rockford Transcript
compares Gronna and LaF'ollette in
the following way:
The Ashland, Wisconsin Press
must feel toward LaFollette very
much as the people Of North Da-
kota do toward Senator Gronna.
The Press says: Robert M. La
Toilette is still giving aid and
comfort to Germany by insisting
that the draft is unconstitutional
and undemocratic. He even ad-
: vocates the election Of congress-
men who represents his views.
All we are sorry about is that
the good people of the state of
Wisconsin won't get chance at
his Royal German Highness
Prince Bob. for the next six
years. Lord! but wouldn't he
get a beating IL he came up for
reelection tomorrow.

its knees and sue for peace at
any price.

William thereupon signed the mobili-

If this tale is true it fixes the re-
sponsibility for the war on these
three leaders Of the Prussian mill
tary machine, about where the gem
eral public has always believed it
belonged. They were the men who
decided that the hour had come to
strike-the hour for which they and
their associates, had waited, schem-
ed and prepared for forty years.
The three men are no longer the
leaders in the German councils.
They have seen their plans thwart-
ed, and they must see the iron ring
closing in on Germany. We wonder
does the nightmare of Belgium ever
rise to haunt them.
Milwaukee is having a continuous
performance Of the Ziegfeld Follies
these days. 1t appears that the wo-
men of the Cream City have formed
the habit of going to and from the
bathing beaches in their bathing
suits. because the municipal bath
houses are not properly equipped.
At any corner the surprised pedes-
trian is likely to be confronted with
a vision in blue tights. The city is
taking stern methods to suppress the
custom, and yet some cities spend
thousands of dollars to advertise.
THE SOLDIER AND HIS FOOD.
Every little while, an insidious at
tempt is made to weaken the con-
fidence in the government by vicious
criticism Of it's treatment of soldiers
or sailors.
The most notable attempt of this
kind was the report of abuse of sail
ors in hospital ships. Secretary
Daniels promptly asked a committee
of three of the most prominent civil
ians in New York. to inspect the
ships and report. They did, and in
stead of criticising the ships they
criticised those who spread the re-
port as slanderers of the lowest type.
These attacks are now centering
on the food served. To kick on the
grub" is an Americans privilege,
whether he is in a lumber camp or
the St. Regis hotel. Any restaurant
keeper knows it. How. therefore,
can an army camp with thousands
of men hope to be free from COM
plants of this kind?
Both the army and the navy are
giving meticulous care to the pur-
chase of supplies. to avoid any rope
tition of the "embalmed beer scan
dals. To pay any attention to scat
tering individual complaints. can be
classed only as giving comfort to
the enemy. American soldiers and
sailors are the best fed in the world.

CONFIDENCE SCHEME
WORKED IN MISSOULA

Although frequent warnings have
been sent out by national and local
postoffice officials. some people in
Missoula and vicinity are still ready to
fall victims to confidence" scheme
devised by firm in Minneapolis,
which has been driven out of business
by the federal mail inspectors.
Yesterday three letters were re-
ceived by the local postoffice addressed
by Missoula people to the National
Mail Order Brokerage exchange of
Minneapolis. Under previous orders of
the postal department letters addressed
to this company are barred from
the mails. The letters will be returned
to the senders.
The schenfe Of the company was to
mail circular letter Offering a silk
petticoat worth $4.75 free to anyone
sending ten cents to the company, and
writing letters, the exact replicas Of
the one received to five friends. While
nobody receided any petticoats the
profits were not large enough for the
promoters for they skipped out Of
Minneapolis ahead of the postal in
spcctors. who were on their trail to
arrest them for violation of the federal
postal regulations.

That's Why Pipes Seem to
Freeze in Scorn of All
Natural Laws.

Have you wondered why your water
pipes freeze up just when the weather

mercury is well below zero? Perhaps
you have or perhaps you have not been
one Of the unfortunate citizens who
have had to go through this expert
ence during the winter. Anyway, Pro-
lessor r. N. Thompson. head OF the
department. OF physics at the State
University. explains clearly why this
is believed to be the case.

lis on the surface Of the earth. about
2 or 2:30 In the afternoon. But IL we
were to examine with Instruments, as
physicists have done, the ground un-
derneath the surface, we would find
that the earth at the depth Of one foot
would not reach It's maximum heat
for period perhaps an hour later. At
a depth of two feet. this would not be
until evening. This difference in the
temperature Is known in physics as a
lag and 1t Is the lag which leads US
to believe that our pipes freeze because
the weather Is getting warm.
Cold Weather Same.
Conditions are relatively the same
during one of our cold spells. The
earth on the surface on one day be-
comes cooled at point far below zero.
II may be a day or two days before
the ground foot down becomes cooled
to the same temperature and two or
three days more before the cold has
reached a point foot deeper Most
Of our cold spells last but week or
whereabouts. and then thaw sets in.
Usually just about the time this thaw
begins, the cold has reached the water
pipes at depth Of six feet. The
weather is warm but the ground below
is cold. The pipes freeze and we be-
gin to wonder why. 1t is the lag that
is responsible.
Water Not to Blame.
1T is possible that the trickling
water due to melting snow, may rem
der the ground below better con-
ductor than the ground is when dry.
and to this extent the warm weather
may. be said to be responsible for
frozen pipes. But the Influence ex-
crted is of such minor consequence
that it need not be taken into con-
sideratlpn. 1t is the lag

BETTER Than CALOMEl
Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't iniure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense Of the teethl Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums
! So do strong liquids. 1t is best not tc
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness and thai
lazy feeling come from constipation ant

Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy AMI

GIRLS TEAM WINS OVER
WALLA WALLA rs TO "a

The girls team Of the Pendleton
high school returned last evening
from a two game series at Waitsburg
and Walla Walla, They broke 50-50,
having lost to Waitsburg on Friday
20 to II. but redeemed themselves
Saturday with a "a to 25 win over the
fast Walla Walla team.
This was one of the best games ever
played on the Walla Walla floor and
was marked by superior playing by
several members Of the local team.
Vera Temple, speedy little forward.
was the largest point getter, scoring
twenty herself. Alta Mentzer started
at the other forward but soon gave
way to Grace Rugg on account of a
sprained knee. Miss Rugg played a
very good game.
Thelma Thompson and Helen Mel
son were largely responsible for keep
ing Walla Walla's score down, both
playing stellar games at guard.
In both the games the locals fee
that they got the worst of it in re-
gard to the referees. The one Satur-
day was particularly rank" they
say, on some of his decisions and wa

as well as the followers who journey
ed from here to see the game wer'
very royalty entertained at a dancini
party given by the high school.
