The report concerning the condition
of markets, whether strong or weak,
will enable the producer to change his
shipments in transit if necessary to
assure him of market for his crops,
while the weather report will guide
his refrigerating.
Emphasizing the Importance of the
telegraphic service as a guidepost for
the Florida farmer to Northern mar

commissioner, said today that the es

Census of Selected Men
AS They Arrive In Camp

Washington, Nov. 5.-Under the d.
rection of the committee on classilca-
ton of personnel in the Army. headed
by Prof. Walter Dill Scott. the War
Department is taking census of the
selected men as they arrive at the
training camps. This Army directory
writes practically a life history OF
every man selected for service.
1t shows his education. business
experience, the amount Of salary re-
ceived in civil life. proficiency in any
trade, aptitude for special work in the
Army and ability to speak foreign
languages. The census embraces
even a statement of the soldiers abil-
ity to fit into diversions and enter
tainment, one of the directions being:
Describe any experience you have
had in furnishing public entertain
ment"
Secretary Baker makes the follow.
ing comment on the desire Of the Sc
lected man to get into the thick OF
action:
"In those camps each man is asked !:
What do you want to do? / have
had reports from five or six Of the
largest camps and they show that
the majority answered. in effect i
don't care what l do just so l get to
France among the first!' The next
question asked them is: What branch
of the service do you PREFER Now
one who didn't know America would
expect to say: Well, have beer
working in a store; 4 have been {
hand on a farm; 4 have been a me
chanic'; 4 have been a clerk; ?
don't know much about guns anc
cannon, perhaps some one of the
non -combatant places is where I car
render the best service. But wha
is the fact?
4 "Of these sons and brothers
drawn out of life by selection-mor'
than one.third have asked to 90 int
the infantry service. The mex
choice is the light artillery; the new
is the heavy artillery service; th'
next is the aviation service. So tina
what they asked for in tremendous
ly predominating majority of instan
ces is, not the non-combatant service
for which their previous experienc
might we'll qualify them, but tn
lighting branch, so that they can TAX
the risk of fighting for their countr
with the real weapons Of war! 'Th
boys at the front or getting ready. t
60 are all right! Our nation nee
have nothing but mounting pride
the spectacle they present"

there. and this. according to an account fin Everybody's is how the place looks:
 It is modest chateau well off the beat en road, SO screened by French poplars that it's quietude suggests the aloof days Of peace. Yet here amid the friendly trees Is the nerve-center of the mightiest English military machine ever created. There is a doorway that would delight the heart of an architectural enthusiast. few years ago laughing children played under it's arch and glad voices resounded through the hall that stretches behind. There is a continuous jangie Of telephone-the only harsh sound that breaks what seems to all intents and purposes the ordinary calm of a we'll ordered French country house. The desks. maps and eternal telephone are in sharp contrast with the ancient furniture and works of art that still remain. The old family portraits look down solemnly from the walls. They hear and see strange things these strenuous days. The room which is today the capitol of British mil- itary sovereignty in France is a conven- tional drawing room which, like the rest of the house. maintains practically every detail of the original furnishing. But it Is soldiers workshop and with aii the working tools.

HER SIDE----AND HIS
THE BACHELOR FRIENDS
By ZOE BECKLEY

The horrid little air of restraint be. tween the Stedmans persisted. Janet moved about the apartment quietly put ting away her motor coat and hat. fold ing her veil and tucking her gloves ir their box with elaborate self-conscious care. Walter yanked off his outer gar ments and. although it was past mid night, donned a dressing gown and pre- pared for silent smoke. It was he who spoke first.
 Tt won't disturb you, will it. Jan, if l keep the light on in here a while?"
 Janet paused In her hoverings about the wardrobe and chiffonier. She looked at her husband without replying. It was one of those looks that said: Tt certainly will disturb me. Everything disturbs me tonight If l try to talk l shall cry, so I'll keep still.'
 Walt suddenly had a sharpe convusion of conscience. He knew he had disa D. pointed his little wife by not entering into the spirit of the evenings frolic Ho had tried, but somehow he could not.
 Those chaps can afford to spend the night in revelry; they don't have to stick at the daily grind" said Walt (Attacks of conscience usually make you cross1
 Janet looked at him again. This time she spoke.
 They at least are willing to make an effort to be genial and gay" she said in low voice. And I was tired, too. I'd really rather not have gone. But I did so want to have you and them to be friends and-and-oh, well, I suppose it can't be done!' she ended abruptly turn Ing away with a short, indrawn breath
 What can't be done?" grouched Walt.
 "Oh, for girl, after she's married, to keep the men friends she knew before and have them like her husband, and have her husband like them, and-and all be be pals together. l did so hope you'd be genial and-and like the others-even If it cost an effort"
 There was disappointment and a little bitterness and a trace of resentment in his wife's tone. Walt smoked in silence for a while.
 I'm not like the others he said at last slowly. I'm nowhere In their class. Roy Nicoll has millions And those other fellows are young, free, rich. of diff ferent world altogether from mine"
 So much the better" cut In Janet eagerly. We don't want always to meet the same sort of people, do the same sort of things, see the same sort of life We should have all sorts of friends. like the Temples have-rich and poor, gay and serious, intellectual and lowbrow We want to be many-sided, so that different people appeal to us in different moods"

Hoover

Everybody is talking about Hoover the man on whom America is relying to solve the worlds food problem to- day.
 Ernest Poole. writing in Every body's Magazine. has the following to say of the man and his brilliant rise:
 "Herbert Clark Hoover's record in Belgium Is known to the world, but his personal story has not been told for he Is one of those quiet men who shun publicity. Of middle age and me- dium height, he is well set up and vigorous, hard his face is lined by the life he has led and there is a resolute set to his jaws. His eyes are clear and forceful; his voice Is low and quiet. it halts and struggles for phrases, goes on. He is a poor speak CT, driven to speak by the earnestness within him. He is a mining engineer. Born in 1874 in Iowa, his early life was marked by independence. He worked his way through School of Mines at Stanford university and aft CT one year more in the west he went to Australia where in four years his rise was so rapid that at the age of 26 he was called by the Chinese gov- -ernment to take charge of its bureau of mines. He left that position in year to manage the mining properties of Belgium corporation in China. And a year later. at 2S. he was made a partner of a great British mining firm. He had arrived in seven years!"

Tonight! Take Dodson's Liver Tone!
 Better Than CaIon1e| For Liver Calomel sickens If bilious constpated and head
 achy read my guarantee

Listen to me! Take no more sicken- ing, salivating calomel when bilious or constipated. Don't lose a days work!
 Calomel Is mercury or quicksilver, which causes necrosis of the bones. Ca1omel, when 1t comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into 1t, breaking it up. This Is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are slug gish and all knocked out" if your liver Is torpid and bowels constipated or you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour just take a spoonful of harmless Dod- sons Liver Tone.
 Here's my guarantee-Go to any drug store and get a 50-cent bottle of Dod- sons Liver Tone. Take a spoonful to-

night, and if 1t doesn't straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous by morning, I want you to go back to the store and get your money Dodsons Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel, because 1t is real liver medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore 1t cannot salivate or make you sick
 I guarantee that one spoonful of Dod- sons Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean your bowels of that sour bile and constipated waste which Is clogging your system and mak- ing you feel miserable. I guarantee that bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone will keep your entire family feeling fine for months. Give 1t to your chil-. dren. It Is harmless; doesn't gripe and they like its pleasant taste.--Adv.

 Nonsense, Walt We can return their entertainment. Not in the same way They wouldn't care for that But in our way We can have simple little dinner here at home sometime for Roy and maybe one of his chums. Or we can take the whole crowd down to Mezzini's and have a corl1ing good dinner and loads of fun for a few dollars It would be a real novelty for Roy Nicol and his kind of men. Why, don't you know.

 Stedman kept silent. Something else was passing through his mind. Perhaps Janet sensed IL, for she asked with a sud- den troubled look

Beauty of the Flowers
nx WILLIAM RRuNroN

By WILLIAM BRUNTON Fair flowers of spring that wither in a while
 But are the gift and glory of the May, We bring your beauty on this sacred day, That ye on graves of heroes well may smile;
 That mourning hearts from grief we may beguile, By what ye have of comfort true to say, For To. ye point to sunshine on our way, And love that flows by desert like the Nile. God gives His flowers as breathings of His love- To simple earth as it to us appears, Whereby our thoughts are drawn to Him above, Till we forget in joy our cause of tears Therefore, our soldier boys by flowers are blest,
 Though only dust beneath the garlands rest The spirit wings it's way to regions new When once the form by death is cast aside, And all the prophets spake is surely true; Then heavens of duty doing come to view, And what it was as man is multiplied; And so heroic souls that dared and died Have entrance grand through gates of
 glorious blue!
 They are the flowers of time transplanted there,
 No more to fade or vanish from our sight When wo devotion to their state shall And know their rapture and divine
 delight.
 So flowers indeed may well on grave-sod With thoughts of bravery and beauty
 blest!
