There will be 100000 men couscyipt.
ed under the first draft. Indiana hes
been called upon to supply 1892 sol.
diers under this draft and 1t is figured
out that at least $50 Of the states
quota will be conscripted IN Wayne
ccvnty. e.
During the past month 62 men were
enlisted at the Richmond recruiting
station as volunteers and since the
first Of this month about 20 additional
volunteers have been enlisted.
II is quite probable that close to 100
young men will have volunteered their
services at the local recruiting station
before the draft becomes operative.
The Wayne county board OF con-
scription has completed all arrange
ments for the making Of the draft in
this county and the work will start

LOAF
WON'T Be MADE
after MAY "A

Major H. c. Won Living has gained
another victory.
After May IA. the five-cent loaf OF
bread will be forced to cease It's Wig
orous struggle for sxistenee. In other
words there will be no, more fiye-cent
bread.
It's death warrant wss contained in
q resolution adopted by bakers and
grocers last night when they met with
Thomas F. Snyder, publicity director OF
the Indiana Master Bakers associa-
tion.
Mr.. Snyder pointed out that the five
cent loaf is waste to both the baker
and the public. He said that it would
be useless to sell loaves of bread as
small as five cent loaves must be
under the new war prices for flour
and other ingredients.
The local Bakers Association Is
anxious to have the public understand
conditions. Arrangements are being
made for an advertising campaign to
consist of pictures and articles which
will explain the causes for the advanc-
ed price and the advantage gained by
purchasing a ten-cent loaf
Grocers. are highly In favor of the
new plan and are to cooperate with
the bakers. 1t is probable that a fif-
teen cent loaf will also be sold.

PLURAL FRANCHISE
PLAN IS ABANDONED

COPENHAGEN, (via NLondon). May
4.-The Cologne Gazette says that the
ideal of plural franchise. as q basis
for Prussian electoral reform, has been
dropped on account OF inseparable DIFF
ficulties
The paper says that the government
has apparently In mind now a project
for universal. equal, secret and direct
suffrage with proportionate features
for the protection of minorities and
will not oppose an amendment giving
an additional vote to electors of GER
tain age. The Gazette thinks such q
reform will probably be acceptable to
the liberals and socialists but not to
the conservatives.

BANKS ARE INTERESTED

The National City Bank, of New
York, one of the largest financial
institutions in the world, is showing
4 great deal Of interest in the food
shortage which confronts this
country. In their monthly Bulletin
they have frequently called the
public's attention to the gravity of
the situation. In a special letter to
their correspondents mailed out
Monday they urge all the bankers
to secure the cooperation of the
general public in having Il larger
acreage of spring wheat planted,
additional potato crops, more gar
den stuff of all kinds. Picture in
your own minds what conditions
will be next winter and the effect
upon all industry if food supplies
are higher and scarcer than they
are now. 1t must be impressed up
on everybody that no wage advan-
ces or regulation of prices will add
one bushel of wheat or potatoes to
the supply after the growing sea-
son is over. The country is arOus-
ed but mere alarm will not accom-
plish results. There must be or
gained personal work, headed in
every locality by men of force and
influence. Every man and woman
in this community should do all in
their power to have every foot of
land that is possible to have plow-
ed and cultivated, to have same
done this year.
