complex arrangement than has yet been
outlined publicly will be employed in the
drawing, in the interest OF perfect fair
ness.

trant Of the corresponding number In
each district. II the number drawn il
above the number registered in that dis
trict, it will be blank for that district.

the predominance Of the South at
Washington has nothing to do with
the fact that every national canton
ment for the training of the national
guard is located in the South, the
most northerly point chosen by the
department being Charlotte, N. @.
The official list Of these environments
was issued last week, and immedi-
ately kilograms and letters Of pro-

action is Immediately taken. the
farmers will face q slump in
wheat prices and consumers will be
caught in situation even more seri-
ous than that which already is result
ing in actual undernourishmen in the
great consuming centers. The spec
ulator, it is declared, is taking large
part of the prices now paid By con-
SINNERS. 'We are practically helpless
to safeguard either the farmer or the
consumer" said Mr.. Hoover, "nntil
the pending legislation is passed"
