NO EXAMINATION OF
OTHER REGISTRANTS NOW
The Matter Has Been indefinitely
Postponed by Action of Senate.
Appropriation Eliminated.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The pro-
posal to examine for military service
all men registered for the army draft
and not yet called was killed for the
present, at least, when the house and
senate conferees eliminated an APP
preparation for the purpose from the
war deficiency bill, the conference
report on which was promptly ac-
cepted by the senate.
This plan was suggested by the
provost marshal generals office in or
der that every registered man might
know whether he was liable for SER
vice, and if so the actual order of
his liability. The war department
asked for expressions of opinion from
the governors of states, and only two
signified disapproval.
In passing the deficiency bill the
house included the appropriation, and
the senate added an amendment linz
ting the men to be examined to the
number soon to be needed. The con-
ferees eliminated the whole provision.

rAUROLLTONIANS COME
BOIL WEEVH HUNTING
VISITORS FOUND TERRELL WAS
BANNER COUNTY. SPLENDID
CROPS OF ALL KINDS.

The county farm agent of Carroll
.ountv. H. T. Jackson, accompanied
~ f. O. Lovvorn, j. w. Holmes and
NJ. Jackson, recently made a trip
INTO the weevil infested sections Of
southwest Georgia and spent day
II Terrell county. On returning
home Mr.. Jackson gave the Carroll
County Times an interesting ac-
count of the trip, from which we
take the following extract:
Doing Their Worst at RichIand.
"At Richland the weevils were do
mo their worst. We found the crops
badlv damaged One man said he
was to pay three bales of cotton for
rent, and that he had 18 acres plant
ed and would not make the rent on
the crop. This was good red land,
and should have produced 1000
mounds per acre. We found here
hollis almost grown ruined by the
weevils. We saw as many as four
developing in one boil, and as many
as five adult weevils on one small
square. The forms never get a chance
to bloom when u weevils get bad.
Splendid Crops in Terrell.
"Our next stop was at Dawson,
which is the county seat of Terrell
county. Here we found some of the
best farm lands in the entire state.
We stopped on the farm of Mr.. H. A.
Petty, who has some good cows, fine
hogs, and some very fine cotton. Mr..
Petty is a very intelligent and pro
gressive farmer, and had put up a
fght on the weevils. He has bred a
very fine variety of cotton, which is
early and which has no surplus limbs,
all limbs are full of bolls, and by the
right methods of cultivation and fer
tilizing, and by picking the fallen
squares once and twice per week, he
has a splendid crop of cotton. He
will make four bales on three acres.
Corn, Beans, Peanuts Everywhere.
eve spent the night in Albany,
Ga, and from there we went to
Townsville, through Baconton, Ca
milla and Pelham. We saw very lit
tie cotton, but thousands of acres of
corn and velvet beans, peanuts and
pecan groves. Many farmers were
digging and stacking peanuts, as we
do cow pea hay. These they will
thresh and sell to the oil mills. These
peanuts have taken the place of a
large portion of the cotton which
they used to plant.
"The Sea Island cotton is almost
failure, as it will take from four
to ten acres to make a bale of cotton.
"We spent one day in Moultrie.
Ga, and there looked through the

WIDOWS HOME FILLED
WITH CHARITY GIFTS
ONE ROOM PACKED TO CEILING
WITH CLOTHES. MONEY HID
DEN EVERYWHERE.

County officials in Duluth, Mimi,
investigating the sanity of an alleg-
ed poor widow, found her three-room
cottage literally lined with bills and
coin donated by the Salvation army,
police officials and others who wished
to aid the poor. In addition, one
room was crammed from floor to
ceiling with clothing given by the
Associated Charities. The woman had
been an object of public charity for
years and might still be living on
aims for the poor if she had not re-
fused to provide proper education
for her boys. She has been commit
ed to an institution for Predetermined
and will have $443.2O with which to
provide herself with comforts while
in the custody of the state.
The home of the widow has been
closed, as one of her sons now is a
sailor in the United States, another
is living with his uncle and the third,
because of whom the action was
brought, will be cared for by the city
of Duluth until he is able to earn a
living and attend school at night.
Case Puzzles the Police.
Among the first discoveries made
when the home of the widow was en-
tered was $40 bill given by the
Duluth Salvation army seven years
ago. Next came a S. bill given by
the police department at Christmas
two years ago. Window stills in the
squalid cottage were lined with bills.
In the crevice of the wall was found
candy box containing 600 pennies.
There were two chests of silver dol
lars and clothing that would have
kept the family warm for many years.

FARM PRODUCTS HIGHEST
IN COUNTRY'S HISTORY
But 1t Costs the Farmer Less to
Transport Them to Market.

But 1t Costs the Farmer Less to
Transport Them to Market.
ATLANTA, Ca While the value
of farm products has steadily risen
to what is probably the highest level
in the history of the country, or at
least the highest level since the par
lous days of the civil war, it costs
practically no more today to trans
port farm products than it did ten
years ago.
Statistics made public here in con-
nection with pending freight rate cas-
es show that in 1910 the freight rate
on bushef Of wheat from Chicago
to New York was II per cent. of the
farm value of the wheat, whereas in
1916 it was only Go per cent of the
farm value of the wheat.
In 1910 the rate on a bushel of
corn from Chicago to New York was
1876 per cent. of the farm value of
the corn, as compared with 10.5 per
cent. of its farm value in 1916.

Former Asylum Inmate
Sues for Big Damages

Winnie Springer, committed to the
Oregon State Hospital from Multnomah
county, this morning filed suit against
Dr. R. Il. L. Steiner, superintendent of
the asylum, and Drs. L. +. Griffith and
?. w. Byrd, assistant superintendents
and physicians, for damages in the sum
of $4,000.
The complaint states that Winnie
Springer was committed to the asylum
on January 9, 1915, and kept there un-
til May 81, 1915. She recently brought
suit in Portland against the Asylum Of
ficials and relatives for damages. The
suit as to the officials was dismissed
but she received judgment against
relatives for placing her in the asylum
in the sum of $4,000.
Some of the Allegations
The complaint states she is sane, and
that while in the asylum was earelessly
treated and considered as an insane
person, and alleges it is the duty OF
the superintendent of the asylum and
his assistants to make careful dag
nosis and examination of the mental
and physical condition of the patients
and TO prescribe proper treatment. The
complaint says they failed to diagnose
her case or TO prescribe proper treat
ment, or see that she had proper food

Says Up To Citizens
To Hustle Hard for
Road Bond Issue

walter l.. Tooze, Secretary Marion
County Good Roads Committee.)
The campaign for the good roads
measure to be voted on June 4, ~, has
developed the fact that the centers of
population are for the bonds and that
the rural communities are adverse, FOR
the reason that they are still uninform'
ed in regard to the provisions OF the
proposed law. !.
Hundreds of farmers believe that il
is going to add to their taxation. As a
matter of fact it does not cause them
to pay one additional cent Of tax nol
one additional dollar for auto licenses
Also they believe that this law provides
for a system which will do away with
road supervisors throughout the county
The word supervisor is not i'll this law
and the law has nothing to do with
them directly or indirectly.
The passage of the law means that
the 100000, estimated annual expense
of keeping up the Pacific highway at
present. will be saved and will be used
for the rural highways Of the county,
therefore the farmers are strong bene-
ficiaries under this act. 1t is upto the
citizens of Salem and the other towns
of the county to fully explain these
matters to the farmers who come in to
trade, and to properly inform them con
cerning the true provisions OF the meas
uTe.
It means much to this city for hum
dreds of men will be employed for the
improvement Of the Pacific highway
and these men will patronize every
business institution in this city. 1t
means much to auto owners, III the say
ing of thousands and thousands of dol,
lars in tires, gasoline and repairs and
It is up to them to see to it that people
are properly informed and that they
will vote eyes No. 3l4 on the ballot,
follows as a matter of course.
The fact is, the passage of this law
means untold millions in benefits to the
citv of Salem and to all the citizens of
Marion county and each and every man
and woman should hustle for the adop-
tion of this law on June 4, 1917.

WILL RECOMMEND
| PEANKING S. P BRIDGE
Committee Finds Ferry Serv-
ice Inadequate te--PIanking
Bridge Is Only Solution

The bridge committee appointed sew
eral months ago to report on the ferry
service across the river, and also as to
the advisability of planking the rail
road bridge win report this evening.
A meeting has been called at the Com
mercial club especially to hear the re-
port of this committee.
There is a general feeling that the
ferry proposition does not fill the bill
for transportation between the two
counties at this point. Manufacturers,
canneries and business men have ex-
pressed the opinion that while the fer
ry relieves the situation somewhat at
present, that with the fruit and canning
season coming on as well as the harv-
est, the ferry or even two ferries will
prove entirely inadequate. This refers
also to state fair times.
The committee composed of Chas. A.
Park, chairman; Fred W. Steusloff and
+. G. Deckebach, at the session this
evening will recommend that the
Southern Pacific bridge be planked as
the only means of solving the traffic
problem. Permission to plank the
bridge has been given by the S. P. of
ficials, providing the counties of Mar
ion and Polk have contracted for the
building of new bridge. The contract
for the new bridge will be awarded as
soon as the legal time for advertising
for bids has elapsed, as the State
Highway commission has drawn all the
plans and placed them in the hands of
Attorney General Brown to pass on the
legal phase of the contracts.
