 The bidding forthe- RedsCross dolls was not particularly brisk, and the honors for the briskest bidding and the chief buying fell to an outsider, Louis Lewkowitz of Ell Paso. MT. Lewkowitz, however, has been coming to Phoenix for so many years that he is considered to be almost a resident here.

WAR MAKES HIS FARM PAY
Ruselan's Ten-Aere Tract on Iona
Island Now Bringing $500, 900
Yearly Rental.

When Meyer I. Shapiro, hay and
feed dealer Of Woodhaven exchanged
three two-family houses in Woodhaven
for ten-acre farm near Yaphank,
L. L, about four years ago, his
friends looked upon the transac-
ton as anything but a wise one
The Woodhaven property represent
ed q value Of about $12,5OO, and Sha-
piro's friends told him they doubted
II the farm he took In exchange
would be paying investment for 100
years to come. But Shapiro told
everybody that he had always want
ed to acquire farm on Long Island
and that he didn't care II 1t never did
turn out paying investment. Sc
cretly, however. he had some misgiv-
ings, and less than a year ago, he ad-
mits, he would have been glad to sell
his ten acres with the comfortable
15-room house thereon for a mere
song. Then, along came the war and
the selection by the government off,
cials of the Yaphank site for a cam
tonment where the drafted men could
be trained. Shapiro's property hap
pened to be opposite the Camp Upton
railroad station and the main entrance
to the camp. Immediately there was
. demand for Shapiro's land on the
part of big and small business inter-
estS which saw the commercial posi-
bilities and expressed an eagerness
to lease parcels for fabulous sums.
Now Shapiro expects to collect $780,
600 yearly in rentals. When the gov
eminent nrst decided on the camp site
several months ago Shapiro turned
down 4 100000 cash offer for his
property.
Shapiro is forty-two years old. He
was born in Kovno, Russia, and has
been somewhat of a globe trotter. He
emigrated from Russia to Johannes
burg, South Africa, In his twenties.
After the Boer war Shapiro Travelled
extensively. He came to this country
about II years ago and settled in
Brooklyn, where he engaged in the
feed business. Five years ago he
moved to Woodhaven. - Brooklyn

On undesirable citizen. There is

We are not living in a bankrupt

and enlightened spirit than at the

brought to the surface all that is

SECOND DRAFT IN
CREMENT TO Be
GOVERNED BY new
REGULATIONS
ALL INEQUALITIES TO BE
SM00THED BEFORE NEXT
CALL IN SPRING

Washington, Aug. ga full
statistical report on the operations
of the draft law will be prepared by
the provost marshal generals Office
as soon as the mobilization of the
first increment Of $4,000 men Of
the national army has been compile
ted some time early in October
Pending the preparation of the re-
port and careful analysis Of the con-
ditions it discloses, no steps toward
calling a second increment to the
colors will be taken.
The first increment will fill all of
the training areas-sixteen National
Guard camps and sixteen national
army cantonments-to capacity and
there will be surplus Of men be-
side those assigned to the regular
army. The regulars are now 10000
above full authorized war strength
by voluntary enlistment and the Ma
tional Guard is in similar situation.
The training facilities already are
taxed to make ready for the front
men now available and it is regarded
ss very unlikely that organization Of
an additional 100000 men Of the
national army can begin until the
early spring of 1918. Neither quar-
tiers nor personel to train this force
will be available before that time.
Inequalities Of an unavoidable ma
ture will be shown in the statistical
report. There probably will be some
amended regulations, based on ac-
tual experience with the first incre-
ment and some amendments in the
law may be thought desirable by
Congress.
It is possible that some provision
will be made whereby all the sons Of
one family will not be taken.
A new definition of the status Of
married men may be one of the
things acted upon. President Will
sons letter to Senator Weeks is TAX
en- by many to indicate feeling
that more liberal policy may be
found desirable.
Another matter to be worked out
is the status of aliens.

animously carried. that the Board
