Saturday, November oath, Mr..
and Mrs. b. A. Orr welcomed the
Harris Grove Farmers club to
their home. This was our first
meeting With these people. but we
all soon felt at home and We're
enjoying a social chat.

Our young people. Bernice
Meats. Ruth Barrett, Mildred
Gowens, HERNIA Whiteman. Lois

Horace Brown, rendered a pro
gram consisting of music and
recitations which was enjoyed by
all.
The readings were very inter

Discussion of questions:
No. What do you consider
the greatest purely agricultural
problem in the country today I?
Sam Jordan tells us the farmers
greatest burden is a system that
permits few to deprive the
farmer of a fair return for his
toll If this wrong were righted,
he would grow better products,
keep. his soil more fertile. build
him. a better home and have such
other blessings as his calling and
his toll merit.

We are not tax dodgers. Our
goods are right out on the shelf
where they can be seen. Does
anyone. know who lodges tax in
town? AS for fighting, the pro-
portion of farm boys is very largo
in the army. Voluntary enlist

than from the city. We hope the
food administration will hear the

O name. Duke, they were at loss
place; at first in 1911, they said he
was no good, he couldn't possibly
swim with that stroke. That was be-
fore he beat all the states swimmers
and then went to Stockholm and de-
feated the best IN the world.
Then our critics were ready to adj
NIT that Duke could swim. But there
must me something entirely different
about his style that gives him the
speed. So they proceeded to analy5e
his stroke. Duke has q very gem
erous pair of pedal extremities, Aand
his long leg-drive does sen MIN
through the water at greA rate.
Those who were explaining the rea-
son for his marvellous progress
through the water came to the
astounding conclusion that 1t was all
due to a certain twist Of the ankle
which impaired circular sculling
motion to his foot.
Just try wiggling your foot around
from the ankle and see how much
forward propulsion you could git IN
the water from It. The impression
given from watching Duke swim II
easily explained. His ankle joiuts, as
are ali his joints, are very limner,
allowing a free play Of the foot Tie
top Of the foot slopes to the outside,
and when the leg drive forces the foot
down, the slope causes the foot to 90
over to one side, II returns 20 normal
position on the recovery.
They also doped out something
about his arms. They enter the water
close to his head and seem 70 pull
slightly to the side.
The real secret of Dukes swimming
Is his enormous strength. And this
Is due to the surf board and the out
rigger canoe, and clean life. Play
ing for hours at time in the SUI
all his life, hoying q neayy board
around, using the same muscles as
are used in swimming he has devel.
oped q wonderful physique for swim
ming. His latissimus dorsf, the big
fiat muscle of the back, and his trt
ceps, located underneath the upper
arm, are the best developed have
ever seen. r.,
To the surf, board may also be ct.
| tributed his peculiar stroke. Lying
on the board, the head Is held rather
high and the armstroke IL short and
considerably to the side. This Il
Dukes exact style while spanning
Ordinarily the legs are not u c7
a board, but from observing the boys
at the beach, Just when they are
working hard to catch the wave, they
will invariably flutter their -eet at
great rate. This leg kick IS neceE-
| sarily very limited In scope, as the
body is well up on the board. and to
open the legs wide one would kick
his sEins on the end OF the board.
That explains Dukes peculiar style
and in fact the style Of all the Ha-
waiian boys, for they all swim very
much alike. And, must admit Il -
a most effective style, for after all, i
| is the stroke which gets one over
the line first which is the best for
racing. But Il is Dukes strength and
great supply Of nervous energy which
makes him stand out above all othors.
He has the strength still, but whether
he has expended the nervous energy
| remains to be seen.

EXEMPTION

WASHINGTON. D. c., June T.
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder, an
nounced last night that h@ expects to
be ready in about ten days to proceed to
the drawing by lot of the names Of the
men in each state from which the local
and district exemption boards will Sc
lect those who are to go into the army
and those who are to remain behind
engaged in industry and agriculture
"Registration marks the completion
of the first step in the execution OF the
selective service law" Gen. Crowder
said THE actual recording has been
practically finished in single day. but
the arrangement and copying or the
cards their segregation into approprl-
ate groups. the publication of lists, and
the garnering in of delayed registra-
tons will consume week or ten days
the registration is being readjusted to
serve as machinery for the further exc
cution of the law.
When. this is all done regulations
governing the Jurisdiction of the local
boards will be issued. and the machin-
cry viii then be ready to proceed to the
drawing which will result in deter
mination of the order in which regis
tered men win be examined for the
purpose of their selection for military
or industrial service

ed it is expected that the war depart
ment will be able to make definite call
for men, and as soon as this data is
available the quotas necessary to fill
the first call will be assigned to the
sevral states.
&. Precise time limits cannot be set at
present. for the reason that it is the
desire to have uniformity of operation
of the machines throughout the United
States and to have each step taken
simultaneously throughout the nation.
Mountainous. heavily wooded. and
sparsely settled states cannot move
with the expedition of compact and
densely populated states.
while dates are not to be named
precisely. these steps VIII follow each
other promptly with fixed purpose of
giving as much time as possible to men
who are selected to adjust their af-
fairs, to make their farewell, and to
avoid the Inconvenience and suffering
that would result from a hasty change
from civil to. military status"
The government today decided to pur-
sue a liberal policy for few days to-
ward slackers. But men eligible to
registration who do not respond soon
and give good reason for failure TO reg
lister will be prosecuted. Wherever
there is evidence of deliberate evasion
arrests will be made at once.
Those who are wholly untitled ply
sically for a soldiers grim business
must be eliminated; the quotas of the
states must be assigned; the machinery
for distributing this quota equally
through every remote county or pre-
cinct of each state must be perfected.
Neighbors to be Judges.
The local exemption boards will al
most equal in number the registration
precincts. Assurance has been given
that a mans own neighbors will be the
judges to pass upon his case.
There were more than $4,000 pre-
cincts and equal decentralization will
characterize the exemption machinery.
President Wilson. upon whom the law
imposes the duty of selecting and APP
pointing all these boards. probably will
delegate this authority to the state
officials Their loyal and enthusiastic
