Tremendous Response in
Illinois, Despite Storms
IBy telegraph TO Tia T1bunel

Springfield, H., June 5.-lllinols has
exceeded splendidly the estimated marx
that had been set for to-day's registraa-
ton. Special reports received by Ad-
iutant General Dickson. filed at noon
by each Sheriff and Mayor in charge Of
registry districts, indicate that there
has been tremendous response to the
nations call.
Almost without exception reports
carried the story to headquarters that
the number of men who had come ior,,
ward is considerably greater than had
been anticipated.
This condition existed in spite of tre-
mendous storms that started yester-
day noon and continued through the
night all over the state south OF Bloom
ington. All of the Central Illinois nv
ers are on a wild rampage, bridges hay-
ing been washed away, and communi-

lines has been obstructed and tele-
phone and telegraph wires are down IN
many districts.

The day was celebrated as a alag

of the national colors in Capitol Park
after a parade and an address by Major

registration for war was more like an
election than anything else. Registra-
ton places, so far as possible, were the
regular polling places OF the erection
districts-barber shops, butcher shops,
laundries, real estate Offices, plumbers
shops. small stores in general and pub
lie schools.
And the "vote" that turned out was
one that opened the eyes of politicians.
For only citizens may vote and, on the
average, only about go per cent do.
Registration took in every male OF con-
scription age, even aliens and enemy
aliens. II reached into hotels and hos
pitfalls. into prisons and police stations.

certainly looked, as one politician re-

Wait Hours in Line
In some cases, particularly in the
morning hours, the rush TO register was
so great and the lines so long that men
were forced 10 wait two hours and more
before their turns came. Until the VOL
unteer clerks settled down to the rou-
tine, the time spent in registering the
individual averaged from five TO seven
back in the lines, anxious TO get started
on their holiday or to report for work,
appealed to the police TO speed up the
registrars. But the perspiring officials
hadn't a squirt left in them.
Often the twelfth question on the list
was left unasked for it was the one TO
which no answer was required-"Do
you claim exemption 2" The others on
the list, properly answered, told the
government whether the individual was
married or single; whether, if married,
he had children; where he was born and
when; whether he was a citizen, and
what profession, trade or business he
followed. And it is on this information,
regardless of claims" that exemptions
will be decided.
There were many patriotic demon

Half Million Enrolled
In Ohio, Is Estimate

Columbus. Ohio, June 5.-Two re-
markable features stand out tonight in
Ohio's response to the draft call. One
is the practically complete absence OF
trouble of any nature. which a week
ago doomed ominous. The other is the
large number Of registrations. Many
Ohio cities used up supplies Of regis
tration cards. and in instances where
they could not be furnished from state
headquarters in Columbus were ordered
printed locally. =,
The large registration is attributed
to the response of hundreds of aliens,
and to registration of thousands OF
men who never had voted.

registration showed 700 inmates eligi-
BILE to-day under the military draft law.
Most OF them did not claim exemption,
as the law treats them as morally unfit.
The inmates were furnished with
blanks by Warden William Meyer
which contained the same questions as
in the registration card. The answers
written on these blanks were copied on
to the registration cards in the war
denis office. Even eleven condemned
murderers, including Frank Ferrara,
who drove the automobile containing
the assassins of Barnett Baff, were reg
istered in the death house. Every reg
istered prisoner was given blue reg
istration card, the same as law-abiding
citizens received. The returns were
forwarded to Albany.

TO AID CATTLE BUYERS.
Government Sends Expert to Coop
 crate with Extension Division.

Little Rock. Oct. 18.-The bureau of animal husbandry has sent L. c. Palmer to Arkansas to cooperate with the university extension divts. ion in organizing the farmers and cat tie men of Arkansas in bringing in cattle from the drouth-stricken dis tricts of Texas.
 Arkansas men have been able to til recently" said J. II. Mcleod, sen. for live stock specialist of the divis- ion. But recently so many buyers were on the market at one time that it caused the cattle to go higher in price than they would have gone oth- erwise. This was due to the fact that every Arkansas stockman who wanted carload of cattle would go purchases for himself.
 Our reports show that the drouth is continuing in Texas. Fifty thou sand head of the Texas cattle have been brought into the Southeastern states and Arkansas men have done etheir share by purchasing at least
 R.0O0 head, However, there are at least 150,0Q0 head that. should ha moved from the Texas ranges before winter sets in. We want to help the Arkansas farmers and catle men at the right time, the right place and the right price. MT. Palmer is here to help in this work. He wishes to CO operate with the county agents, the bankers, farmers and other business men of the state in this work. Men who will cooperate in the purchase of five to ten car loads of cattle can certainly do better than by working individually and competing with each other on the market, while not buying more than one car load each. MT. Palmer's services are free, but stock men who desire to buy cattle should consult with their county agents con cerning the advisability of buying. If they decide they want to buy, they should write to the university exten- sion division at the old statehouse in Little Rock"

MEN WANTED

A . result of the war there is an enormous demand in all lines of busi. ness. both public and private, for trained men and women. Leading men of the nation are unanimous in the opinion that 1t is a patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue bus1ness or teohni- cal training and fit themselves for ser. vice elsewhere.
 Young men who are not in the se- lective draft, are wanted in business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help; they need men-great numbers of them-and must have them. It is splendid opportunity for those who will train themselves in bookkeeping, shorthand, and ether branches of clerical york;
 MT. George A. Mclean President of Draughon's Business College of Little Rock. Ark. advises that the demand for office help has trebled in volume during the last three or four months, and that in August alone, nearly 200 positions were offered the students of his school. A very large majority could not be filled as there was not sufficient number of trained students available. MT. Mclean strong ly urges business training and says that wonderful opportunities are now open to the young men and women of Arkansas.
 Those who are looking for an op- portunfty and believe in the "Do fl now" spirit. should, by all means, communicate with MT. Mclean and learn his plan for assisting young peo. pie to prepare for business life.

New York Cotton.

New York, Oct. 1S.-A renewal of heavy realizing caused some irreg- ularity at the opening of the cotton market today. October was 5 points lower with other months to 16 points higher and the active positions sold about 1 to points under last nights closing figures during the first few minutes with December touching 27.75c and January 2389c. The prospects for another cold wave in the western belt were more clear ly defined than yesterday, however, and the market soon turned firmer on covering and trade buying. Liver pool was an active buyers on the ad- vance which carried December up to 27.45c and January to 27.09c or about '16 to 19 points net higher before the end of the first hour.
 After selling at 27.60c for December and 27.22c for January, or 29 to 34 points net higher, the market became less active and there were reactions of 10 to 12 points around midday. It was reported that private cable has been received from Milan, Italy, claiming that the Italian government has arranged to take 10000 bales of American cotton monthly.
 Reactionary sentiment appeared to be more general during the early af- ternoon. Selling was attributed chief ly to realizing, but prices worked gradually lower, December selling off to 27.3Sc and January to 27.O0c, or back to within z to 12 points of last nights closing.
