BILLMYER'S
Bargain Store.

Itonly pays to advertise honestly.
Fake advertising often catches a
fellow once, but never twice. Bet
ter values for the money is the one
and only secret for the success of
the Billmyer enterprise. While our
advertised items always appear
cheap "a personal inspection
proves the bargain and nine out of
ten times makes the sale.

THE American soldiers in France are
almost on the firing line, and after brief
period of training il is expected that they
will be sent forward to the trenches to
do their best against the common enemy.
That our boys will acquit themselves
bravely IS certain, and yet, having lived
in decent country and always fought
fairly, it is impossible 10 tell just what
they can accomplish against the barbarouS
and inhuman Germans.
God be with them.

AT a meeting OF the State Board OF Con-
troll in Charleston last week DIR. E. B..
Stephenson, recently appointed to sue
coed A. Bliss McCrum, was elected preSi-
dent of the board, TO succeed James S.
Lakin, former president. When the
meeting OF the board was called the three
members were present. Mr.. Lakin ten
dered his resignation as president, stating
that he felt that the honor as well as the
responsibility OF being president OF the
board should belong to member OF the
political party now having majority on
the board. After his resignation had
been accepted, DR.. Stephenson was
unanimously chosen TO the presidency
and DR.. ]. M. Williamson was unanimous
ly chosen as treasurer. TWAS agreed by
the members OF the board that Mr.. Lakin
should continue TO have charge OF the
purchasing of all supplies as heretofore,
that DR.. Stephenson should have charge
OF buildings and repairs, and that DR..
Williamson, in addition 10 his new duties
as treasurer, should continue to have
charge OF the payment of bills. The
board is now Democratic body for the
first time since its creation. Mr.. McCrum
the. retiring member, formerly State
Senator from Preston county, will not re-
turn to his old home TO assume the prac-
tice of law, but will remain in Charleston
where he will engage in business.

THE Russian armies are doing effective
work on the eastern battle front, and are
steadily pushing back the German and
Austrian lines. On the other hand, the
Italians seem 10 be taking long vacation
and their campaign against the Austrians
seems to have ended for the summer.
Is il impossible TO put the pressure on
the Germans and Austrians from all sides
al the same time

THE censorship plans OF our govern
ment are popular with neither the news
papers nor the public, and for good
reason. for the censors are depriving the
people of information to which they have
a right, yet are not concealing important
facts from the Germans We have but
little patience with an absurd censorship
that annoys on the one hand and is inef-
icient on the other.

Registered Men And Their Numbers
Facts Relating To The Draft.


We publish this week the names and
the numbers Of partial list OF the Jeffer-
son county men who will be subject TO
draft for army service. We have Sc
cured, as far as we have been able, the
names OF all those from Shepherdstown
district, and few in adjacent sections OF
other districts. We regret that il is i'm
possible for us to print at this time the
names OF all the l,l5S men registered in
this county-we may publish the complete
list later. II is important that every
registered man shall ascertain his NUM-
Der, for when the drawing takes places
those selected will be called upon by
their numbers 10 further action. The
drawing, which, will be done in wash
ington, will take place in few days.
The gross quota required from Jeifer-
son county is 1876. From this is to be
taken a credit of II, for men already IN
the service, leaving but SO TO be drafted
at this time. Probably two or three
times this number will be called, so as TO
allow for exemptions.
Captain H. c. Getzendanner, OF the
Jefferson county board, has given us
pamphlet, from which we note the fol-
lowing facts First OF all, get your serial
number. When the drawing has been
made, the list Of those called will be
posted and newspapers requested to
publish it. Ifyou are called, you must
present yourself for physical examination
at such day and place as the local board
designates. lfyou are physically quail
fled, and claim exemption. you will be
allowed ten days in which TO tile proof OF
your claim. The board will provide
necessary blanks for affidavits.
The following is the list OF those regis
tered from Shepherdstown district, in
Guiding few additional from adjoining
districts:

Secretary of War Baker in an Interview
with newspaper correspondents made
the following facts plain:
Every man of the 100000 who reg
istered is to be drafted.
The actual drawing, which is TO be
made in few days, will merely deter
mine who is to be called first. The first
numbers drawn will be the men first
ordered to the colors. There will be a
million altogether If out OF that million
the War Department finds there are not
enough left after physical and industrial
exemptions are made 10 form a national
army OF 500, 900 and fill the ranks OF the
regular army and national guard TO war
strength, additional men will be called
out until this is done.
The selection OF the million men who
will first be called wilrequire but few
minutes. The numbers drawn will be
key districts, which will apply TO each
district in the State for which the draft is
being made.
States will be taken in their alphabetical
order and each one will have a definite
quota to supply for the first million.
The fact that every man is TO be drafted
does not mean he will have TO serve.
He may never be called TO the colors.
Officials say that indications are that
there will be but one draft for the entire
war, unless conditions so develop that
the entire $500, 900 are exhausted end a
new call to take in men of other ages is
found to be imperative. Officials es-
innate that the chances OF the individual
are IA TO that he will not be sent 10 the
trenches.

THERE is a considerable faction in
Austria that is advocating break with
Germany. Herr Praschek, prominent
leader, declared on Saturday that all the
world hates Germany, and he doesn't
want his own country TO come under the
ban. His statements created a great
sensation. and though his ideas will not
yet prevail, he undoubtedly expresses the
opinions Of very considerable proportion
OF The Austrian people. 1t is still Sig
niiicant that rats desert a sinking ship.
The President has directed General
Goethals 10 take charge OF the work OF
building vast fleet OF merchant vessels
for the use OF our government, and he
will be unrestricted in his plans. General
Goethas can doubtless do the work, but
il will be costly proceeding, for public
money is no more TO him than dlrt-as
witness his expenditures in the construc-
ton OF the Panama Canal
But il is not wise TO talk of economy
in these times-it is regarded as treason,
almost.
THE War Department has done wise
and gracious thing in deciding 10 name
some OF the great army training camps
after distinguished generals OF the Con-
federate armies. Announcement was
made on Monday that four OF these camps
will be named for famous Confederate
generals-Robert E. Lee, Joe Wheeler,
John B. Gordon and P. q. 7. Beauregard.
This wipes out another obstruction be-
tween the North and South.

troops, according to estimates made in
