THEY do not grumble nor complain,
They do not strut nor pull heroics,
They Just 90 down and take their train
quiet bunch Of FL Paso stOics-
They know what they are going through,
And that is everything there's TO 1t.
They've been allotted work TO do
And they are going out to do 1t.
THEY do not boast Of glorious deeds,
For boasts are vain and cheap and hollow,
They know Just where their pathway leads
But that's the path they're going TO follow.
No tears, no cheers, as they depart
They ask from those they leave behind them,
As each one, with a steady heart,
Goes out TO do the task assigned him.
MO staggering, no craven fear,
No look Of savage exultatiou
You see in any faces here,
But only grim determination.
No emperor across the seas,
However vast his sovereign powers,
Had ever soldiers such as these
To save the throne on which he covers.

jectS, those who are obviously physi-
cally unfit, and in general persons en-
ployed in the public service, mariners,
workmen in arseIlals, armories and at
the navy yards. The regulations will
designate specifically how these gen.
eral exemptions are to be made.
Those who do not fall within these
general classes must appear before the
exemption board within their district
and set forth their claims. The mere
fact, for example, that a man is mar
rfed and has children will be no bar to
his selection for service. He must
demonstrate that he contributes to the
support of his family. The village
idler whose wife takes in washing will
probably have difficulty in convincing
the board that he should not go into
training.
The call will be made by the pfesi-
dent for certain number of men suft1-
GENTLY large to make it certain that
the necessary number for actual serv-
ice will be obtained after eliminations
for one cause or another.
The board which is now devising the
scheme by which the men may be
chosen has experimental with various
devices for drawing by lot. It is prob
able that this phase Of the draft will
be made public ceremony, which will
be carried out at the capitols Of the
states or in some other public place.
If the registrant has run the exemp-
ton gantlet he will present himself be-
fore the military authorities for physf-
cal examination. If rejected, he will
be dismissed, but a record OF his case
will be kept. If accepted, he will be
sent to one of the sixteen environments
where he will undergo training to mt
him for the rigOrs of war or held IN
readiness to enter one of the training
camps which will be drawn upon to I'LL
gaps in the ranks.
A Tremendous Task.
Army officials do not minimize the
difficulty of the intricate task ahead
of them. The president is wrestling
with the problem of selecting the ex-
emption boards, so that there will De
no basis for charges of favOritism or
political preference. The normal board
probably will be the same as that
which conducted the registration, but
there will probably be many excep-
tons to the general rule. An effort Is
being made to obtain men only of the
highest character for the appellate
boards.
General Crowder and his assistants
are very careful not to disclose even
the most general features Of the sys-
tenn upon which they have virtually
agreed. They fear that if it were ex-
planned now changes that might be
made before it's final approval by the
president would lead to confusion. For
that reason the word is not to be given
until every detail has been pondered
carefully, and when it is given there 10
to be no retracing of steps.

NOT ONE STACKER THERE
Father and Five Sons OF New Jersey
Are All In Army In War With
Germany.

Verona, N. J.-No one would accuse
Thomas Elston of this place and his
family of eight Of being a group OF
slackers. The father, who is now an
American citizen, was born in Devon
shire, England, and served six years
in the artillery branch of the British
army. Too old for active service in
the land Of his adoption, he has Joined
the Verona Home battalion.
The family consists Of five boys and
three girls. The girls are all married
and rearing families. The boys are
following in the footsteps of their
father. Francis, the eldest son, served
two years with the British army in
South Africa during the Boer war,
while Frederick, the next son, also
served in the BOer war and Is now
somewhere in Saloniki with the Royal
Engineer corps.
William, the third son, was about to
enlist at the beginning Of the war,
but was prevented from doing so by
broken leg. The father has not heard
from him for months and believes he
is now at the front with the British
forces. The fourth son, George, en-
listed in the aerial corps and Is now
at the western front In France.
Gilbert is the only son whose home
Is with his father here. When troops
were ordered to the Mexican border
he enlisted in Company K, Fifth New
Jersey infantry, and served until mus
tered out. Upon the recent call Of
the president he again responded and
is now with Company X In New Jer-
sey.

Lloyd George Picks old-Time Political
Foe Because He Is Best
Man for Job.

London. - Premier Lloyd George
picks his subordinates in curious ways.
On account of the food scarcity ana
the need for increased production, the
premier was hard put to think OF
suitable man to fill the post OF pres1-
dent of the board of agriculture. A
political colleague, overhearing Mr..
Lloyd George speak Of his difficulty
said to him.
IT know the very man you want for
agriculture"
"Who is that?'' asked Mr.. Lloyd
George.
"Prothero, of course" was the re-
ply.
"Prothero, Prothero," exclaimed Mr..
LLOYD George. Lets see, isn't that
the man had a controversy with
the man I once called the duke OF
Bedford's butler, or something of that
sort? Why, that's the very man 1
want"
. Roland E.. Prothero was an old
time political foe of the premier's, but
that made no difference SO long as he
was an efficient man for the post.

PROFIT FROM THE BACK YARD
Any House Owner, at Small Expense,
Can Build Garage Which Will
Soon Pay for Itself.

Most house owners have a rear lot
that is Of no use to them, and is gen.
orally q source of expense. Why not
turn the back yard into moneymaker !;
at a reasonable expense you can build
q concrete or brick garage big enough
to hold four cars on the average lot
that will earn for you Is per cent prof
it on the cost of the building, or pay
for itself in four years.
This being a masonry building with
a tar and gravel roof there is no
charge for upkeep or repairs. Such
garages have been found to be source
of satisfaction to the owners as they
improve the looks of the back yard in
most cases, and relieve him of the Ia
Dor and expense Of keeping it in or
der.
If a person also wishes to have "a
garden he can by putting up trellis
work conceal the garage so that per-
sons in the street cannot see it, also
a roof garden can be maintained on
the garage when desired.

PRICELESS BOOK IS FOUND
al etters Of Vespucci" Stolen From
Florence Some Years Ago, Is Re-
covered in Mail.

London.-A Rome dispatch reports:
"Some years ago there was stolen
from Florence an old book of priceless
value of which only one copy is in ex-
istence. It was entitled ''The letters
of Amerigo Vespucci," and in it the
celebrated Florence explorer recounted
the journeys and discoveries which he
made shortly after Columbus.
'"The book belonged to Marquis Cap
poni, but, despite prolonged inquiries
by the police, no trace of it could be
found. Now the police, while inspect
ing postal packages addressed to for
eign countries on the Italian-Swiss
frontier, have discovered a parcel con-
tanning the precious work. The pack
age was addressed to German book
seller who fed to Switzerland aiter the
outbreak OF war."

Special Conditions.

In planting out street and highway
trees, the fundamental principle gov
erning the work should be as in all the
broad field of agriculture, the crea'
ton Of conditions suitable to the par
ticular plants to be used. If proper
conditions do not exist, they must be
made. IF rainfall is insufficient, trri-
CATION sufficient to overcome the natu-
raj deficiency Of water supply must
be practiced. IL rainfall is excessive,
drainage must be had by blasting to
free soil or digging deep holes and mix
ing sand, wood ashes, lime or decaying
vegetable matter with the soil before
replacing it in the holes. Physical
condition of soils is Of far greater mo-
ment than the chemical properties,
therefore deep holes, dug or blasted,
together with deep preparatory cult
walton is essential to success.

TREE SURGEON LIKE DENTIST
Cavity Must Be Cleaned, Treated With
AntisePtic, and Then Filled
With Concrete.

The treatment Of cavities in trees,
caused by decay, is not fundamentally
different from that of dentistry, though
the tree surgeon is not so much "down
in the mouth" as the dentist All de-
cayfng matter must be cleaned out,
right down to solid living tissue. The
cavity is then treated with an anti
septic to prevent further decay, and
the whole (likewise the hole) filed
with concrete and in such manner as
to exclude air as much as possible.
The tree then begins to heal over the
edges of the wound to the concrete.
Sometimes metal has been used for
covering cavities and with good re-
suits. Elastic cement, asphalt and

Beauty is a necessary factor in, the
development Of suburban property, y
says 81. A. Jones, Detroit real estate
man. "City people who move out to
those communities which are sure to
surround Detroit as the city develops,
will expect city conveniences and rapid
transit to their employment but they
will also expect something of country
pleasures.
Therefore no suburban property
unless laid out with the idea of beau
ty in mind, is likely to become fully
built up. People will not have their
homes squeezed into 3O-foot lots, with
no parks, trees or landscape beauty,
when they have gone away from the
heart of the city just to ger such sur
roundings."

The disinfectants used are copper sui

Not since the flood itself has human

pail over the earth today. The moth
ers of all nations are asking, with
streaming eyes and breaking hearts,
as they send their sons into the welter
of world-war; ITO what end, 0 God?"
So must the mother of him who died on
the cross have questioned, in the Bit
terness of her soul, as she looked up
ward past the dying Christ, to the
darkening skies of Calvary. And as
Mary knew, even in her suffering, that
back of that darkness shone the great
est light humanity has ever known, so
the mothers of today know that back
of their supreme sacrifice shines the
glory and Joy Of world-freedOm.
