Computation Method.
Placing on the debit side of the led.
ger the national army Of 100000, the
entire National Guard at war strength
and the number of war volunteers
needed on April 1 last, to bring the
regulars up to the war strength, the
grand total was apportioned according
to population.
This gave gross quota for each
state, from which net quota was COM
puted by checking Off the number Of
National Guardsmen available for fed
eral service and the number of men
given by the state to the regular army
since April 1.
The apportionment was made on the
basis Of an estimated grand total for
the United States and its possessions
Of los, 366,05 inhabitants.
This is paper estimate, computed
from registration returns, which comes
within the law requiring distribution
Of quotas by population, but which
eQualizes in great measure the bur
den that is to fall upon the 1850 ex-
emption districts.
Total of 1,152,9e5.
Each will furnish under this appor-
tionment the men It's total registration
would indicate as fair proportion,
rather than the number the actual pop
ulation of the district would indicate.
The total Of these gross quotas is f.
152,9S5 men.
Credit Is given to the various states
for a total of 465,9S5 voluntary enlist
ments In the National Guard and reg
ulars, making the total net quota for
all states 6S7, 900 men.
Illinois, which was the first big state
to fill its quota for the regular army,
reduced its gross quota Of 1904 to

to be used in building up this great
industry again. High prices are GER
tain to result for many years.
Even in our own country there is q
serious shortage Of dairy cattle, and
dairy experts believe that the most
critical phase of the problem has not
been reached. The high price of feed,
the shortage of experienced labor, and
the high price of meat, which is lead
ing many dairymen to send their cat
tie to the butchers, are playing havoc
with dairy herds everywhere. A gov
eminent specialist, who has just end
ed an inquiry in the New England
states, reports that from fifty to sew
| enty per cent of the dairy cows in
some sections of New England have
been sent to the butchers.
H. H. Kildee, prominent Judge Of
| dairy cattle and a national authority
on cattle conditions, asserts move
ment is being launched to ship large
numbers of COWS from the east, where
feed is so high, to the west, where
an enormous amount of roughage goes
to waste annually. In this way 1t
is believed that many good COWS can
be saved from the butchers until con-
ditions become more normal, and
prices of feed in the east fall to
lower level.
'The fairs have an excellent oppor-
tunity to be of service to the country
this year." says Mr.. Kildee. "The
Food Training Camp movement
which has been launched by practi-
cally all of the leading fairs in the
country cannot help but impress ev-
eryone with the seriousness of the
situation The show ring will inter-
est the public in more efficient dairy
ing in many ways, and assist in con-
vincing dairymen that there can be
no 'slackers' kept in dairy herds this
winter"

President Wilson, drafting 6S7, 900 into
the military service under the selec-
tive CONSUMPTION law, was promul}
gated by the war department, together
with an official allotment showing what
part Of the total must be furnished by
each state and territory.
The only steps now remaining are
distribution by the governors Of
state quotas among the local exemp-
ton districts and the great lottery,
which probably will be held next
week and which will establish the
order in which registrants are to pre-

The men summoned for service will
be used to fill the regular army and

to organize the first 100000 Of the new
national army.

The total of these three forces will
be 1892, 1886 men.
Later another 100000 will be called

EDITORS FIND A LEADER
IN MINNESOTA VILLAGE
Small Town WeekIy-HotaIine in
MapIeton 20 Years.

When the National Editorial associa-
ton elected Herbert c. Hotaling it's
president for the ensuing year in Min
neapolis it honored an editor of a
small town weekly which has made
a wide reputation for it's town and its
editor.
Mapleton, Mimi, where Mr.. Hotaling
has published the Enterprise for 20
years, has fewer than 1000 people.
Not in many years has the national
association taken it's president from
so small place.
This recognition of President Hota-
ling by the editors of the country
was cited by his friends as an illus
tration of Emerson's remark that If
one only builds better than his fell
lows, "the world will beat pathway
to his door,"

experts to indicate shortage of horse
power in America, in a time when
horses are badly needed on the farms.
No relief from Europe can be looked
for. Belgium, home of the Belgian
breed of horses, has been devastated,
and her horse industry completely de-
stroyed. The Percheron horse indus
try in France has been crippled. The
British Isles needs all it's own horses
to work its own land. Everywhere
horses are in need, and nowhere can
horses be bought for love or money.
1t is the opinion of horse specialists
that America must husband all her re-
sources in horses, and plunge into the
breeding Of big, strong draft horses to
greater extent than ever. Breeders
OF horses are not only assured of high,
prices for horses for many years to
come, but are doing their country q
great service in assisting it to increase
food production.
For these reasons the fair, which
is to be planned as food training
camp" in the voluntary service of the
government, is urging breeders Of
horses to attend the fair in bigger
numbers than ever before, so that
farmers may become impressed with
the worth of the industry, study the
more profitable types, and be placed
in touch with the men from whom
breeding stock can be purchased.
Large premiums are offered for all Of

AS a result of heavy rains in many
counties of Minnesota, a bumper crop.
including heavy yield of alfalfa, hay
and other grain is assured, according
to reports received from seventeen
counties. These indicate that the Co

A call for farm labor to help care
for the yield has been received by
Fred D. Sherman, state commissioner

be responsible for the shortage of men.
Prospects for a heavy yield of po-

PLAN ID HARNESS UP COLORADO RIVER
 TO TAKE OUT UNTOLD MILLIONS IN GOLD

one of the richest copper veins in the world, this ore, shipped in carload lots, returns an average of from 50 to 60 percent.
 Only six miles from the Colorado river there is a veritable mountain of salt. Samples taken to the worlds fair at Chicago by Geo. A. Boneli
 received a premium as the purest and best grade of salt in the United States. Farmers in that section haul the salt home for table use just as it comes out of the mountain.
 Comprehended in this project is an enormous placer gold area containing nearly 2000 acres of the very richest gold-bearing- virgin territory in the United States. There are 2O0,000,- 0OOyards which experts say will yield a net average of 40 cents to the yard, and this being the fact, sufficient money can soon be taken from these placers to build the great dam men tioned above.
 Among the famous engineers who have examined this project are Prof. A. 4. Hassan, Frank Culbertson, Rob ert Jacobson and P. McCardell, all of whom say the gold is there, and hence the only thing is to recover it which is proposed to be done at once. Engineers in examining this proper v have found platinum.
 Only Q few days since Geo. 4. Boneli, a prominent merchant of Kingnan, and who knows the Colo rado river as no one else does, stated: Everybody knows there is lets of gold ou. there and it is only necessary to put on the machinery to take it out"
 Negotiations, which have been pending for several weeks, are about completed, and 1t is highly probable that @ dredge of large daily capacity will be installed, inside or Go days and this means a regular monthly
