government on how to plant gardens that have not failed in aiding the movement. The results from this mis- sionary work is continually coming 10 the surface
 The Coal Operators associations is doing a magnificent work. and that they could have gotten a man with more personal interest and human touch in his work than Mir. Miller seems impossible. He works harder than any other man connected with the organization. often he is up until l o'clock talking to miners after the meetings are over. so intensely inter ested is he in their problem-that of feeding their families
 The association Is carrying forward Its plan each year. making a desper- ate effort to do little bit more for the men who dig their coal for them. The idea is not 8 war measure, but one conceived in the interest of mel, who need only that interest shown in them that the companies are now showing, to give them the vision that will lessen expense. increase their ef- hciency and improve the health of themselves and their families

Russellville Citizens Are
 Planning Food Campaign

Russellville, April 2S.-(Special.) At It's regular meeting Thursday night the Commercial club of Russellville showed real enthusiasm in the work for greater food production in Frank lin county. Plans for the cultivation of the club garden. which has been start ed on a vacant lot in the business district of the city, were discussed at length.
 Charles DeBardeleben. president of the Chamber of Commerce of Birming ham, and Mr. Maulden. government agricultural expert, were present and made instructive and interesting talks on what is being done and what should be done in the line of food production In the south. MT. DeBardeleben said Tn substance that unless the south pro- dueed food enough to feed all of the people of the south the people in th9 cities were in danger of starvation. He told of the great work being done by Mrs. Mathis and said he thought s,le could be obtained for at least one ap- pointment in Franklin county
 The club passed a resolution asking Mrs. Mathis to come to this county to lecture.
 MT. Maulden told of the great work that is being done by both the fed eral and state departments of agrl- culture and said he was making ar- engagements to send an agent of the department of agriculture to this coun- ty. He said if the farmers of the coun- ty would use their agent he would be worth much to them in dollars and cents. Every member of the cluh pledged his moral support to the agent Tn his work in Franklin county

men who will be liable for duty in the conscription forces could be enrolled, physically examined and otherwise passed upon for exemptions, before the process of calling to the colors began.
 SYSTEM OF CHOOSING
 MT. Baker is inclined to favor the jury wheel system of choosing the men to be called first. When any township is called upon for it's quota to fill the first 5O0,000 increment the names of all of its citizens previously registered for military duty will be placed in tho jury wheel and the proper number drawn. Examination of that number would then be carried out and enough additional names drawn to fill up the quota, with provision made for ex- emptions.
 The Secretary indicated that passage of the draft bill would be followed by voluntary recruiting in the regular army and National Guard President Wilson may issue a proclamation call ing for 600,000 or more volunteers for the branches of the service. MT. Baker made it plain that the war department does not plan to apply the draft to fii, up the regular and guard forces until the suppy of volunteers has been ex- hausted.
 Within a month after the bill is passed, the Secretary expects to set the state apportionment for the conscriptive forces. A proclamation will be issued notifying all men af- fected to appear at the registration places. The election machinery of each community will be used to facilitate registration and the police forces will be employed to bring in those who fall to appear voluntarily.

pose an evangelist cannot very well re- fuse to shake the hands of men and women who want to tell him that, to him, they owe their hope of grace and glory. I wondered how many hundreds of thou sands of such hands this man was called upon to shake every year and how many hundreds of thousands of times per an- mum he had to hear the same things over and over again from these and from such as these, and In reply, had to an- swer back the same things.
 AS he went with dragging legs toward his rest rooms at the rear, his wife on one side of him and a member of his personal staff on the other, one of the newspaper men alongside me-the veteran chronicle of any number of Sunday meet ings-remarked, as he gathered up his notes and reached for his hat and over coat:
 Well Billy didn't go so very strong this afternoon, did he? Saving up his best licks for the big doings tonight, I guess, eh?"
 I don't know how much money Billy Sunday makes in the course of a year, but take it from me. whatever the size of the pile may be, he earns it down to the last red penny.

The American training systems probably will follow to some extent that used in Canada, where the in- structors have made every effort to reproduce as closely as possible con- ditions at the front. Sections of trenches have been built at the Cana dian camps exactly duplicating im- portant parts of the lines in France held by Canadian troops.
 Training in extending these works and running saps or erecting entan- elements has gone on to the accom- paniment of actual shell fire so as to harden the nerves of the troops aA well as their muscles.
 Another work that will be new to American troops will be bombing prac- tice. Every company will have its sec tion of grenadiers to clear the way into disputed trench.

TOWNLEY TAKES LEAD

At Townley months ago, before any other town in the state thought of the movement. aside from the interest taken in that town by the company operating the< camps. the mayor Of Townley, Sam Richburg, made a per- sonal inspection over the entire camp and the town council went to work to fence in all of the vacant property, break the ground up and haul manure to fertilize the soil. Prizes were or fered, first. second and third, and n- terest was shown that resulted in some of the finest gardens in the state being grown in that town today
 "The most wonderful cooperation that I get is from the white and black preachers at the camps" said MT. Mil Ter. They will break up meeting to assist me at any time and their interest and good work in this un- dertaking is one of the greatest as sets that we have.
 MINISTER'S COOPERATE
 At one place there was a protract- ed meeting in full blast and they sus- pended one evening to hear me. and we did business right now. At Dora sl negro minister from Selma was hold ing special meeting and he quit un- til I got my garden club going, do- ing splendid work with me. At Ac- ton Rev. Coffin, who lives at Helena, was holding quarterly conference and he abandoned 1t until the story of Keep on Planting had been told and a club organized We can hold the conference later he said; this is more important now.
 "A decided feature of our work said Mr. Miller. "is that we are lead ing to canning plant for every camp. We are going to can the food crops that are perishable and all of the sur plus that the family does not need the commissary will take off their hands at Morris avenue prices the day they bring it in. INTENSIVE WORK
 Intensive work on the ground among the miners. in my opinion, is the success of our work. We do not deal in theories or promises; we go right at the heart of the matter and take the men we are talking to with a hope of bettering him into our con f1dence. There is no cost to the miner with the exception of the trilfing ex- pense for seed. little work on his part and the returns are so great that he realizes that he Is losing money not to make an effort can of to- matoes worth 20 cents is an illustra- ton that I often use. The miner pays 10 cents for tin can The water In that can would cost him nothing, and 1t would not cost him over one cent counting his time to raise the toma- toes. so he. is actually paying 19 cents for a tin can that he throws into the yard after he eats the tomatoes, anc then he is not getting the kind of to. l matoes that he could raise" said Mir Miller.

 It was dime. He dropped this of fering in the pan as the pan passed him and then he leaned back in his chair and cooked a pair of sandy brows In the direction of the slumped figure above him with the air of a man who had been overly generous, but who will be satisfied if only he gets his moneys worth. I fancy this individual was typical of a large per- centage of the present assemblage.
 Presently, sitting there in my place, heard, almost at nay elbow, a voice mutt tering huskily I glanced sidewise and upward, and behold, Billy Sunday was uttering prayer, although l have my doubts whether a strict ritualist would have been willing to go so far as to admit of It's being an authentic prayer. Certainly 1t was not regular one. Be- tween his clenched teeth, the evange- list was saving:

The higher the prices for grain, the more certain

From one end of the country to the other there
is dearth of mature stock. Feed lots, east, west,

of sheep and cattle have been wiped out by the al
most unprecedented severity of winter in the west
and there is no spot the map where one can turn

Patriotism alone ought to be sufficient spur to
