DRAFT CALL TO COLORS
LOCAL BOARDS TO ASSEMBLE
MEN AND RUSH THEM TO CAMP.
Local Boards Instructed to Cut Down
Discharges as Only Way Of Pro-
tecting Proper Claims.


Washington.-The Federal Govern
ment has completed it's plans for the
first call OF men TO the colors OF the
national army to be formed under the
auspices of the selective service law.
The Governors OF the States will
be notified that each State will be
called upon to furnish one-third OF
its quota on Sept. 1. Each OF the
1857 local districts will be expected
to furnish one third OF that district
quota on Sept. l, and they will be
mobilized at training camps between
September 1 and 3. The rest OF each
district quota will be modified later
in September.
Regulations governing the plans for
the mobilization of $4,000 drafted
men were issued by President Wilson
through the office of Brig. Gen. Enoch
Crowder. the Provost Marshal Gen
eral. These regulations direct the
local and district boards in miniB e
detail how to proceed in designating
the men to be entrained in the first
call to the colors. The regulations
provide for the listing Of the men 10
be called, for the posting and notifica-
ton Of these called, for their assembly.
lodging, substance. entertainment. and
camps.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
notified all Governors, Adjutant Gen
erals, and members OF local and dis
trict Exemption Boards that a new
ruling had been obtained from Sur
geon General Gorgas on regulations
for physical examination.
It makes no departure from the pres
ent standard in the matter of height.
In the mater of weight the following
additional requirements may be al
lowed
81 to IS inches, inclusive-no re-
duction from present standard:
Ga to 81 inches, inclusive. to 6

and serviceable If dental work will
restore the teeth so as to meet re-
quirements of proper mastrication, the
man should either be accepted or al
lowed sufficient time to have the nee

SEED shortaae Is ProbabIe.

In his weekly bulletin OF timely
hints" to farmers, State Commissioner
of Agriculture Stewart calls attention
to a probable seed shortage for next
years sowing, and gives planters the
following good advice:
Seed for our next seasons vege-
table garden will be high in price and
the supply of some of the best varieties
may not be equal to the demand. ac-
cording TO some seed experts who have
been studying the situation carefully.
The sale OF vegetable seed this year
has greatly exceeded that of any pre-
vious year, and indications are that
the large area now devoted to gar
dening will be extended next spring.
In view OF this situation. It is thought
that Il will be to the advantage of
many gardeners to save seed from
their own crop. Among the garden
crops from which seed may be easily
and profitably saved are sweet corn,
beans, peas. tomatoes, cucumbers,
melons. lettuce, etc. In selecting seed
only that from the strongest and best
developed plants, true TO the variety
type, should be taken. The saving of
seed in large quantities is a special
tzed business, but on small scale In
wolves little expense"

Couldn't Buy any Whisky.

The thorough "dryness" OF West
Virginia was attested positively here
by Fred l.. Woodwork, of Lansing
Mich, state dairy and food commits
sioner OF Michigan, who, to test the
effectiveness of the enforcement of the
prohibitory law in this state, has Just
spent four or five days travelling about
from place to place trying to buy
some bootleg liquor"
Mr.. Woodwork has been made ex.
officio prohibition commissioner OF
Michigan and will have in charge the
enforcement OF the dry law in that
state when 1t becomes effective next
May. He came to West Virginia to
see If the law here actually was being
enforced and to confer with the West
Virginia commissioner, Walter s.
Hallanan, for information on the sub
ject OF enforcement.
Mr.. Woodwork declared he had
been unable to buy whisky anywhere
in the state. He took away with him
large number OF blanks and printed
booklets which have been used by the
department in West Virginia as aids
in working out an enforcement policy
for Michigan.
