Crowder Begins Inquiry
Into Certifcation of
Men Having Dependents

WASHINGTON. Oct. 13 Several
cases, in which men who are the sole
support OF bonafide dependents, have
been certified for service in the Ma
tional Army by local boards. have
been brought TO the attention of Pro-
vost Marshal Crowdcr. In every IN
stance. il was stated officially, the case
viii be ordered reopened and, If the
facts as alleged are established, the
man will be ordered discharged from
the training camp in order that he may
return TO his former position.
The majority OF such cases are re-
ported from New York City and Louisl-
ana. 1t is ssumed that the local
boards in these districts have misin-
terpreted the ruling made by General
Crowder's Office on the subject OF de-
pendents. In this ruling, IT was held
that. while the law itself did not con-
tain an exemption per Sc for the IN
dividua with dependents. it would be
the policy of the authorities TO exempt
without exception such men as were
found to head bonafide dependents.

Army Officials
Oppose Votes for
Soldiers Abroad
Legal, but lnexpedient,
Judge Advocate General
Is Supposed to Hold

fSveCiaI tOrrc-ioNltnctl
WASHINGTON, Oct, l3.-Ihe ques-
ton of permitting American soldiers IN
France from states that permit alb
sentee voting to cast their ballots IN
the election this fall is under consider
alton by the War Department
Governor Edge Of New Jersey
brought the matter before the War
Department lie sought permission for
.he New Jerseymen in camps abroad
20 vote in the November elections in
his state. Officials of Judge Advocate
Generals Office are preparing a legal
opinion for Secretary of War Baker on
the subject This opinion It is under
stood is:
Legal but Inexpedient
First That it is entirely Legal for
Americans in the armies abroad TO cast
heir votes in their state elections, pro-
vidinc the laws of their states permit
absentee voting. The rule of extra
torritoriality applies. since the terri
tory occupied by the American troops
is considered American territory.
Second That II Is iHeXpedient TO eN-
tend the voting privilege TO soldiers
abroad. because II would interfere with
their principal mission on the other
side.
The issue will not reach any great
proportions this fail because the cleo
IONS 10 be held are largely minor state
elections. municipal elections OF con-
tests over the wei and dry issue.
But when Congressional elections are
held next fall al 4 time when It Is ex-
pected there would be at least mill
ION American soldiers in France, the
issue is certai ntO reach critical pro-
portions.
The position taken by army officers
is that il would be extremely dctrl-
mental to army discipline and annoying
interference with the serious work OF
che soldiers Il they were TO be stopped
IRON their operations at the front TO
participate in the elections
Army Officers to Protest
Army officers. however. realize that
their fishes Will not necessarily pre-
vail in the coming issue. They realize
chat political considerations may in
fuence the administrative officials to
overrule the military, but they will pro-
test to the last against carrying any
political contests overseas into the
camps Of the American soldiers.
The soldiers in cantonments and
camps will be allowed to vote this fail
If their state laws permit this. More
political meetings will be permitted II
camps. There is no improperly II
this. officials believe, as the men are
/ still more or less under home lnfiu
ences. But when they get on the otnel
/ side IT vii be different, and if the army
has its way a negative answer will b.
made to Governor Edges request, ant
NO voting in France" Will be the. guido
in next falls Congressional elections.
1t is probable in some states whicf
have no absentee voting laws, mel
from the National Army cantonment
may receive leave of absence to q
nome and vote. provided the canton
ment is near their home cities. Blu
this has not been definitely decided.

Harry Elliott, a newspaper man of

before her marriage, was Miss Bette
Clemens of Santa Fe, Mo, was here
this week on a few days furlough
after enlisting IN st. Louis for war
service. He desires to see action on
the front in Europe.
Referring to the volunteer system,
he had had opportunity to learn Of
some of the results in Western Cana
da. 1t worked disaster. 1t was dis
grace and crime for a young man to
appear on the streets of any of the
towns without being dressed out in
uniform. AS a consequence the
farms and shops were deserted and
the lands went uncultivated. But
conscription will not work such a re-
suit in America. The industries will
not be allowed to suffer, that the
young patriots may offer their service
for their country. The rich young
dude may be forced to the front that
the young farmer may remain behind
to till the soil-the farmer yet the
better patriot.

AUDRAIN COUNTY FEEDERS.
Get Record Prices on East st. Louis
Market-Wcstern Lambs and Big
Fat Cattle Bring High Figures.

Live stock farmers of Audrain are
getting the prices this year. Note
the following from the Live Stock
Reporter:
Equaling the highest prices ever
obtained upon this market, II. T.
Squirting G. Sons, the noted sheep
feeders and farmers of Audrain coun-
t., sold 164 head of Missouri fed clip
ped western lambs averaging 81 lbs.
at $16.5O per cwt. The purchaser Of
this consignment was Armour G Co.,
who took the entire shipment at this
record price. Messrs. Squirting are to
be congratulated on the price they re-
ceived. This shipment was of the fa-
nous w. W. Johnson brand of wes-
terms.
Another well known sheepman of
Audrain county obtained the top of
the market for clipped lambs was
Doyt Miller, who disposed of 1913
lambs averaging rs lbs. at $16.5O
per cwt. This load going to Morris
& Co. This bunch of lambs were clip
ped western fed in Missouri but were
bot upon the Omaha market last fall.
The above sAles are q striking
illustration of the merits of the st.
Louis market for lambs, and is con-
elusive evidence that the Central
States sheep feeder can not afford to
pass up the local market when il
comes to disposing of live stock. Both
these shipments indicated that they
had been handled very nicely. Dis.
playing good flesh and finish due tc
the consistent and energetic manner
in which they were handled by the
owners.
Last Tuesday j. w. Surber, a big
farmer and substantial feeder of Au
drain county. sold a couple of loads
Of cattle on the market, included il
which were 81 yearling steers ant
heifers at $11.25, good price Tht
yearlings were of his own feeding
and averaged 62S pounds. Mr.. Sur
Der is one of the States best feeders
and has been blessed with a very sue

"Do not buy meat until you have
bot three quarts of milk day." is
the advice of one of the foremost
American authorities on nutrition.
This applies to family of two adults
and three children. The advice is
good, according to L. S. Palmer of
the Missouri College of Agriculture,
because milk at 8 cents a quart, but
ter at 45 cents a pound, cheese at
80 cents pound, and cottage cheese
at Is cents a pound are still by far
the cheapest human foods from ami
NAL sources.
