POST FOR MAN HE DERIDED
Lloyd George Picks oId-Tlme 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 and
the need for increased production, the
premier was hard put to think Of a
suitable man to fill the post Of presi-
dent of the board of agriculture. A
political colleague, overhearing Mr..
Lloyd George speak of his difficulty,
said to him.
81 know the very mar 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 l had a controversy with
the man l once called the duke of
Bedford's butler, or something Of that
sort? Why, that's the very man
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.

The call will be made by the presi-
dent for a certain number of men sufi-
clently large to make It certain that
the necessary number for actual serv-
Ice will be obtained after eliminations
for M 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. 1t is prob
able that this phase Of the draft will
be made a public ceremony, which will
be carried out at the capitols Of the
states or In some other public place.
If the reglstrant has run the exemp-
ton gantlet he will present himself be-
fore the military authorities for physi-
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 fit
him for the rigors Of war or held In
readiness to enter one Of the training
camps which will be drawn upon to fill
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 be
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-
lions to the general rule. An effort is
being made to obtain men only of the
highest character for the appellate
boards. M
General Crowder and his assistants
are very careful not to disclose ever
the most general features Of the sys'
tenn upon which they have virtually
agreed. They fear that If 1t were ex'
planned now changes that might be
made before its final approval by the
president would lead to confusion. Fol
that reason the word Is not TO be giver
until every detail has been ponderet
carefully, and when it Is given there II

EASTERN MEDICINES.

In some parts of Japan the mere
skin Of snake is still supposed to
be sovereign cure for pains in the
abdomen. Turtles are regarded with
great awe in China and elsewhere,
and SO, too, are tigers bones and car
BOMBED monkeys skulls, which lat
ter are prepared by putting them
into vessels exposed to heat until the
crania are thoroughly calcined.
Birds, too, are carbonized for medici-
nal purposes, while the nests of GER
tain swallows, made out of the gelat-
inous substances of seaweeds partly
digested and disgorged, form a most
invigorating tonic for the sick.

MINERAL NEEDED BY
THE U. 8. GOVERNMENT

The ColoradoGeologica survey is CO.
operating with the U. s. government
in an attempt to find workable depos-
its of certain minerals for which the
war has caused an increased demand.
Among these minerals are: Ores of mol
ybdenum free from copper, ores Of
vanadium, uranium, nickle, manganese
and platinum. Transparent, unfractured
flourspar in fairly large pieces, and as
nearly colorless as possible is also need
ed. Pale green and very pale purple
colors may not prevent its use if it
is otherwise satisfactory.
Persons knowing of deposits Of any
of these ores should write to R. D.
George, state geologist, Boulder, Colo
sending an average sample of the ore
if possible, and describing the deposit
If the sample and the description ap
pear to warrant further investigation
the state geologist or some one appoint
ed by him will examine the deposit
without expense to the owner. If II
should prove promising a report will
be presented to the proper United
States officials.
Prospectors and others not familiar
with these ores will find descriptions
of them in Bulletin Of the Colorado
Geological survey. This is now out of
print. but Bulletin 70, covering much
of the same ground, will be sent to
those who have not had Bulletin g.
Those applying for it should send Is
cents to cover postage. Until Bulletin
10 is ready the survey can provide
pamphlet which describes the ores men
toned, and those of all other important
metals. This will cost IS cents.
The survey may be able to furnish
small fragments Of the commoner ores
of few prospectors. But unless thev
are really needed they should not be
asked for as only very small amount
Of the material can be spared.

State Geologist.

COLORADO TO ENFORCE
DRAFT LAW STRICTLY

The enforcement of the conscription
law in Colorado is going to be literal,
and no respecter of persons. Rich and
poor, high and low, bankers son and
farmland, must register for military
service on the day set aside for thst
purpose if they are between 81 and 30
years old.
In substantially these words Adj.
Gen. Frank D. Baldwin explained the
attitude of the military arm of the
state government toward the work
mapped out by congress.
"The law prescribes that every man
between the ages indicated will be ar
rested and sentenced to six months in
Jail if he fails to respond to the regis
tration call,' said the adiutant gen-
eral. "In addition to that he will BE-
forced to do military service after he
has served his time in jail.'
Asked what would be done in the
case of the man living in remote dis
tricts and unable to get to the place
Of registration in time, what would be
done with sick men, General Baldwin
said that if man was able to travel
he had better start the day before If
there was any doubt about getting to
the registration place on time. Time
and distance will not be excuses.
As to the sick man, it will depend on
his sickness. The seriousness of tie
ollness will be determined by an army
surgeon.
"My advice to all young men of mil
itary age is that they had better walk
up to the registration places and write
down their names,' the general con-
cluded, cor they will be in for lot Of
trouble. And it makes no difference
who it is or where he lives, the penalty
will be the same for all.

SHOW YOUR PATRIOTISM

Men, if you can possibly get the
time for little evening drill, join the
military company.
1t is hoped that all men, old or
young, who are physically able to drill
will join this organization. Those who
are not able to drill will be welcomed
and, can do their bit.
The intention is to develop an or
ganization that will last for at least
the length Of the war and probably be
permanent thereafter.
There is no better way to develop
patriotism than by military drill. It Is
also beautiful, interesting reacreation
and will be beneficial to any who
might leave the home company to g
into active war service.
The meeting for permanent organiza-
ton will be held at the Court House
Monday evening at eight O'Clock.

will be Of the "arm-strong variety.
Potatoes, beans and Hubbard squash
are suggested Is the principal crops.
