now open for entries. This annual
event that is becoming so popular
among the lads CT Iowa is promoted
| and conducted by the Extension De-
partment of the Iowa College of Agri-

as follows: Each county desiring to
be represented must secure not less
than twenty-five members, choose
leader for the club and then get in
touch with the college authorities at
Ames. They will attend to the rest
Of it. The prizes offered as rewards
in this contest are of the most sub
stantial sort. Not less than forty four
free trips to the International stock
show at Chicago will be included, do
mated by the various breed associa-
tons, packing firms, livestock commits
sion companies, etc. In addition to
the trips the various fairs Of the state,
beginning with the state fair, offer a
combined total OF $4,000 in cash
prizes for baby beef classes. If inter-
ested write to r. w. Berry, of the Col
lege Extension work at Ames, who

Jas. n. De Veuve Who Just Returned
From Warning Countries Sees
Great Prosperity Ahead

HOQUIAM, May 11.-Jas. H. De
Veuve, Of the firm of Hanford and De
Veuve, was guest at the CONNER
cial club luncheon this week at the
Rex cafe and spoke of conditions in
England, France and Belgium, as he
found them on his recent visit through
these countries. He said that both
France and Belgium would practically
have to be rebuilt, that their forests
had been cut down, and that forests
in England that had not been touched
for centuries had been used during the
past two years and the land cultivated,
and that when the reconstruction peri
cd starts at the close of the war; that
the Pacific Northwest will experience
prosperity greater by far, than the
period following the San Francisco
earthquake.
N. J. Blagen spoke of the meeting
held in Portland in regard to the Is
per cent rate increase. He said that
the proposed rates, and even the pres
ent rates, discriminate against lum-
ber as compared to wheat and perish
able fruits.

Led by Scout Master r. |. Wise,
principal of the Franklin school, and
Lawrence Hopkinson, assistant scout
master, two score boy scouts marched
into the council chambers during that
body's session Wednesday night and
Scout Wilfred Gawley, in clear ringing
voice, offered their services to the
city.
Hearty applause greeted the close
of the young mans address. Mr.. Wise
then asked for permission for the boys
to use the parking strip on Market
street to raise potatoes. He said every
member of the Boy Scouts had pledged
himself to raise enough potatoes to
feed one soldier.
Mayor Roy c. Sargent accepted the
boys offer and vote of thanks to
the young men was spread upon the
minutes on the motion of Councilman
Fraser.
I'm this hour of our Country's need"
said Wilfred, eve scouts and scout
officials who have the benefit of the
training of the program of the Boy
Scouts of America have come in this
way to pledge to you and through you
to the citizens of our city our loyalty
and hearty support in any emergency
which may arise requiring more than
the normal resources of the city gov-
ernment.
Because of the scout training wa
are prepared to do many things of
practical value. We are not soldiers
but are trained for civic service. Wa
are able to render first aid to the
injured, to do signalling and serve as
messengers. Some of us have bicycles,
automobiles, motor boats. carts and
other equipment which is at your ser.

pledged on his honor to do his duty
to his God and his country and to
obey the scout law, to help other
people at all times, to keep himself
physically strong, mentally awake, and
morally straight. Throughout the
whole country our members are mobil-
izing in this way as a practical demon

loyalty and our desire to do our duty
to our country, but as an evidence
that there is actually a resource avail.

SEEDS WILL BE
FURNISHED FREE
Seeds Will Be FURNISHED Free For
Time Being-Must Be Paid for
BY November.

MONTESANO, May 11.-Seeds will
not be Furnished by the county free,
but must be paid for by November Is,
according to circular now being sent
out by Agriculturist c. F. Monroe. In
fact, the county is not offering the
needy farmer anything more than any
bank would offer him, except that
nothing is said about charging interest.
The plan to be followed. according
to Mr.. Monroe's letter, is very much
like the plan adopted by some of the
European cooperative societies. A
person applying for seed must be
vouched for by three citizens and tax
payers, and must make application to
the county agricultural agent in per-
son or by letter and the agent will
use his judgment in the distribution
Concerning applications. Mr.. Monroe
says:
Judgment should be used in ap.
plying for seeds as the best judgment
of the county agricultural agent will
also be used in supplying seed. 1t
would not be good business for a man
with little or no capital and no ma
chinery to secure seed potatoes enough
to plant ten acres, especially at the
present prices.
In his letter Mr.. Monroe asks for
listing of seeds for sale that will do
late planting and that are of known
purity and free from disease.

PLAN AGREED ON

REJECTS TEDDY'S ARMY
President Awaits Final Action

WASHINGTON, D. c., May To-
Eliminating the Roosevelt division
amendment from the selective bill
house and senate conferees on the
army bill reported an agreement today
and will report to their respective
houses as quickly as their findings can
be put into shape.
The conferees also eliminated the
Fall amendment, providing for the
raising of a volunteer cavalry force
for border duty.
The prohibition amendment as pass
ed by the senate was left in the bill.
The age limit for those subject to
selective service was fixed at Fl to
30 years. All men more than 21 and
up to the age of 81, will be subject
to service.
AS it stands, there is every prob.
ability the senate will make some eff
fort to restore the Roosevelt amend.
ment, but since the cOnferees agreed
to eliminate it and the administration
does not want it in, it is not believed
it could pass the senate again.
The agreement reached today was
forecast in detail by the United Press
yesterday. After short session this
morning it was announced all lines of
differences had been erased, but it was
admitted there might be some opposi
tion to the report in both the house
and senate.
House Must Act First
Senator Chamberlain said he would
introduce the conference report early
this afternoon in the senate.
The senate cannot act on the meas
ure until after the house has acted.
Demands from the country for ac-
ton on the bill and insistence on the
part of the administration for machin.
cry with which to raise an army, it is
believed will hasten approval of the
conference report.
Agreement today broke deadlock
in committee of more than a weeks
duration.
There were a few minor additions
to the bill The new prohibition Sec
tion was modified to provide that penal
ty shall apply only to sale of liquor
to those in uniform and not to furnish
ing or giving away drink of liquor to
a man off the reservation.
President Wilson awaits only action
by congress on the report to issue his
proclamation calling for the immediate
application of the selective service
machinery.
The proclamation is ready and all
plans for fastening the work of regis
tration throughout the country have
been completed.
1t is regarded as likely that within
three months the first 100000 men will
have been selected.

unable to raise.
Deputy Elliott is also taking Roy

of court but says the arrest is prob

the Chehalis river near Satsop. The
first thing, of course, is to get the war
departments consent to bridge at the
location considered. However, there
should be no trouble about that. as
steamboat traffic does not extend as
far up the river as Satsop, and the
government has already consented to
low bridge at Elma only few miles
