VOLUNTEER ARMY ENLISTS
MEN NEEDED IN INDUS
TRY BUT LET'S SLACK
ERS AND oilers
ESCAPE.

The principle Of the sclcctiyc
draft, which the administration
has adopted, was born Of the bit
ter experience Of the British gov
crnment in this war,
1t would be easy enough for the
United States to raise ,oiun-
teer army. We doubt if any prac-
tical difficulty would be cNpcrl-
cnccd in recruiting 3,O0U,UUO men
to serve until the end Of the war,
but to gather up such a force IN
discriminatory by the volunteer
system might readily result III an
irretricvablc military disaster.
This is a war in which the army
itself is only one Of the units.
Agriculture must be carried on
without interference. The essen
tial industries must be safe
guarded in their man-poWcr
Transportation must not be inter
rupted.
The sclective draft system, by
which all the men between the
ages of nineteen and twenty-five
are called into the service OF the
country. enables the government
to raise an army without weak
ening it's economic resources. un-
der that policy men who ought TO
be on the farms can be kept on the
farms. Men who ought to be III
the factories can be kept i'll the
factories. Men who ought to be
on the railroads can be kept on
the railroads. The army can be
made UP of men without wives or
dependents. Of men taken from
the non-essential industries. At
the same time, the shirkcrs and
slackers can be compelled to 90
their share. either in military or
industrial service.
It is a system under which the
idle sons of the rich must bear
their share Of the common burden
along with the sons Of the poor.
It is the only system under
which the right man can be sent
to the right place.
When the British volunteer
army was recruited, men whose
services were invaluable to the
military industries Of the country
freely enlisted, and the damage
was incalculable. In one batta-
llion there were 200 expert mum
ton workers who were worth
their weight in gold to their eoun-
try that they deserted. Former
non-commissioned officers who
were indispensable in training re.
cruits volunteered as prlVates
and were sent to the front, where
their exceptional qualifications
were wasted. It was finally nee
essary to begin at the beginning
and reorganize the military IN
dustries Of the country in order
successfully to carry on the war
Should Congress insist on re-
peating the mistake Of the Brit
Iish government, we shall not only
cripple ourselves, but cripple the

MARRIAGE SLACKERS.

In New York, Chicago and gen
orally throughout the North. the
press is loud in its denunciation
of "thc marriage SIarkcrS. y This
does not mean that there is any
" "slackcning' in the number Of
marriages being celebrated, which
is contrary to the truth, but that
many young men, fearing that a
conScription law will be passed
by Congress, are cndeavoring to
protect themselves against being
forced into the army by getting
married, as it is known the sin
gle mem will be called out first,
and that those who have wives to
care for will be exempted from
service, at least for a time. ih Sc
marriage slackcrs' have been
compelled to listen to some very
unpleasant language about them
selves as "poltroons hiding be-
hind pctticoats, "mcn with wide
yellow strcaks alon" their spinal
coIumns.' etc. The women have
been appealed to and asked to
frown upon these towards by re
fuSing TO marry them on the
ground that men Of that type
cannot be counted on to defend
or provide for their wives and
families.
If is. of course, difficult to say
how many men arc CndcaVorlng
to escape the draft by getting
Themselves wives. The marriage
rate is very hiah at this season Of
the ycar-spring time. 1t has
been very HIGH for some time, even
before the war began, and econ
omists have found this inrompatI-
bic with the increased cost OF nv
inc. When thc war began IN
ENGLAND there was a large m
crease in the marriages. but thus
was shown to be due to the Tact
that many men who were gong
to the front were anxious to mar
rv before leaving, fearing that
they might be away long time.
The assaults Oh the so-called
"slackers" are probably unjust
in many eases. The fiVe-fold IN
crease. in marriages in New YORK
indicates that matrlmony has
been resorted to in many cases
to avoid the draft, but an actual
increase in marriages is to be
counted on during the first few
months of war. and due allow
anoc must be made for this tend
cncv. instead Of holding up to
public indignation these young
men who may be married just
now.
The health records in Manhat-
tan show at the same time a
marked decline in the birth rate,
running IN some eases as higll as
10 per cent, especially in families
of American parentage. This IS
a matter calling more strongly for
investigation than the movement
recently inagurated to prevent or
discourage marriage III New
York and other cities on the pos
sibility that it would operate un-
favorably if Congress should
finally pass selective conscrip-
ton law. As matter of fact,
the War Department has already
passed on this question, and if
any men have married since the
war began, under the idea that
this will relieve them from mill
tary service, they have deceived

So interested were the authorities

heard reports of the exhibit of canned

rice Angus, that they telephoned to

canned fruits and vegetables the five
mile distance from town to his Oak
Grove farm. But when the Pendleton
Express left here at 2.40 O'Clock the
entire shipment of 800 cans. securely
packed, were aboard. The shipment
weighed 2,S2O pounds,..an the express
bill was $29. 70.

MAXIMUM CHARGE
WILL BE Il CENTS

According to the budget established
by the board of directors, the maxi.
mum charge to the members of the
Apple Growers Association flor sthe
1917 season will be 21 cents per BOX.
The respective items will be charged
by the cooperative sales agency as fol.
lows:
Advertising, cents per box on all
apples and pears; handling sand mar
keting, 10 cents per box cold storage,
maximum of s cents; purchasing fund,
cent. The cold storage charge will
be based on length of time fruit is
kept in chemically refrigerated ware
houses. A minimum charge of cents
per box will be made on all pears in
cold storage.
The Association announces an ad-
vance of 35 cents per box on all fruit
of standard grades on delivery at
warehouses. This advance, larger than
in former seasons, will be made, it is
explained, because of the extra costs
this season of preparing the fruit for
market.

All the members of the vegetable
family were there, even heaps of huge
sweet potatoes, formerly unknown in
branches of corn, neat piles of pota-
toes, canned fruits and vegetables
were on array at the Hood River Ga
rage.
1t was the biggest day of the year
for Hood River as far as the crowd
was concerned, and big otherwise, for
the future citizenry of the community,
bubbling with pride as their Ielders
passed and repassed the great exhibit
tables, demonstrated that they might
be counted on to uphold the future
fame of the Apple Valley.
The exhibits have never been more
complete or more varied. Stimulated
by the food conservation campaign of
the early spring, County Superintend-
ent Gibson has devoted large por-
tion of his time the past summer in
stimulating an interest among the boys
and girls of the valley school districts
to become actual tillers of the soil.
Kelton Wall deserves special mention
for the unusual vegetables grown.
This young lad exhibited fine peanuts,
sweet potatoes, casaba melons and
acorn squashes.
The Oak Grove canning team was
trained by Mrs. Guy Ellis. Mrs. Ellis
deserves great credit for the work she
has done. The Pine Grove team had
the excellent training of Mrs. E. f.

RECORD SHIPMENT
OF SHEEP MADE

A record shipment of 33 carloads of
sheep was made from the Hood kRiver
valley Saturday. The animals, pas
tured throughout the summer on logged
off land of the Oregon Lumber Co.,
were loaded at Dee and brought here
over the line of the Mt. Hood Railroad
Co. The sheep are 1.-The property of
Mace & Cofield, of Seattle. They have
been run on the local ranges by W. |.
Kirby, Dee Flat rancher.
A part of the sheep were returned
to ranges near Terra Bonne and Herm-
iston, while small portion of them
were shipped directly to markets. Wild
pea vines grow luxuriantly on the
logged off lands, but much of the
range the past summer was unavail-
able because of the bad forest fires
that prevailed in Hood River county,
and as a result far smaller number
of the animals than had been anticl-
pated were ready for market.
