HITS COLD PACK CANNING.

What is suspected OF having been a
deliberate attempt to discredit the
cold pack process of preserving fruit
and vegetables has been brought to
naught by an investigation conducted
by the Michigan Agricultural college.
BY making inquiries OF housewives
throughout the state who have made
use OF this method. Miss Anna B.
Cowles. state leader OF girls club
work. found that the cold pack method
OF canning is the best that has thus
far been devised.
The investigation was undertaken
to counteract certain articles attack

was noticed were Appearing In the

been suspected. IL was found that
these were being put out by certain
canning companies, which hoped that
by attacking cold pack products they
would increase the sale OF their own.
In the course Of her survey. which
was conducted for the purpose of
proving that fruit and vegetables pre-
served by the cold pack method keep
excellently. Miss Cowles, secured re-
ports from 425 Michigan housewives
and girls. In 35.6s7 Jars OF products

than two in 100. This record, It Is

course was winner In every way
The performance of the four ladies
making up the quartette was some
thing that couldn't be beaten. One Of
them. Miss Snowdon, who sang So
prano. Is an Iron Mountain girl and
her work was especially pleasing TO
all. Owing to the fact that there was
Liberty bond meeting at Crystal
Falls that evening there was no one
out from the Falls. but it IS hoped
that some OF the lovers OF fine enter
tainment will show up at the next

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE.
CHANGE DRAFT METHOD.
A New Plan Has Been Worked Out
For the Next Call.

A sweeping change In the machin-
cry OF the selective draft based on
division OF the 100000 remaining
registrants into five classes in order
OF their eligibility for military ser
vice was announced Saturday by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder.
Details OF the plan, which has been
approved by President Wilson are not
disclosed. II Is calculated, however
to do away with virtually all the
complicated machinery of the first
draft and to make the operations OF
the local boards hereafter little more
than rubber stamp proceedings
The plan was worked out at confer
ences with local and district board
officials and approved by the various
state authorities It's chief features
are that every registered man will
know his exact position and be able
TO arrange his affairs accordingly and
that no man deemed necessary in any
important industry or needed at home
to support his family will be called
unless the military situation Is des-
perate.
Detailed regulations to govern the
new system are now being made ready
for distribution to local and district
board members General Crowder, In
a formal statement, assured them
that they will be given ample oppor-
tunity to familIarize themselves with
these regulations before the machin-
cry provided Is called into use AS
the next call to the colors is to be
made under the new plan this assur-
ance Is taken to indicate that the
second call is not to be expected be-
fore the first Of the year, although no
authoritative statement on this point
was available.
The success OF the plan depends on
the completeness OF the questionar-
les The questions TO be answered by
the registered men have been worked
out with infinite care from the vast
fund Of information CLEANED from the
first use OF the draft machinery.
Included in the plans OF the govern
ment, It Is understood Is a provision
which will place the services OF a
trained attorney at the disposal nf
every registrant to assist him IA maxi
ing his answers. Presumably all the
machinery Of aAidavits TO support
claims for exemptions also has been
absorbed into this document. making
the work OF the registrant in getting
his situation properly before the
board for consideration far less ard
uous.
The new plan, General Crowder
points out, settles the vexing ques-
tion OF continuing the physical exam
nations OF registrants until all have
been classified in this way. Presum-
ably Il will be necessary to examine
men under the new plan only when
called upon or II greater speed can be
secured in that way. to examine and
classify physically all members of the
class that Is under call.
A point not made clear In General
Crowder's statement Is how the rota-
tion numbers Of the drawing TO fx
the order OF military liability are TO
be applied. Since no abandonment Of
