tied that neither the sheriff's nor audl-

ficient to do the clerical work that Will
be necessary after the draft Is MADE
II is believed that the most feasiple
plan is to open a special office, employ
the clerical help needed. and place the
office in the charge of some one, actins
for the board. The state Is expected 70
paw the expense, after formal appllca-
tion for it is made. Where the ofrice

Two of the important clerical details
of the work to be done after the orait
is that a complete list of those drawn,
arranged in the order in which they
are drawn, must be prepared, sho"lns

With Friday fixed by the provost
marshal general as the probable date
when the drawings for the draft for
the national army are to be made,
members Of the local exemption board
arc greatly concerned regarding how
the immense volume of work necessi-
tated by the draft Is to be handled.
That there is to be a great deal Of
clerical and detail work Is beyond
question, and is shown by the large
volume of official instructions and al
most numberless varieties Of blank
forms that must be used.
The various instructions regarding
the management of the draft 1ayo
reached total Of ten or q dozen vol
umes and pamphlets, some Of the
booklets being Of good size. Today rho
board received large quantity OF
blanks to be used for claims for ex-

No,o Park Your Car
Inside Painted Lines

II the weather permits by the time
the first automobile Is driven into South
Center street Friday morning to be
parked, the driver will find that the
parking space between the electroliers
has been, divided into stalls, painted
on the pavement with white paint. The
streets and alleys department plan
ned to clean the street early this eve
ming and to paint the stalls Friday
morning, beginning at daylight, or as
early as the pavement was fit to work
on. a.
Within each painted space will be
room enough for one car. and If the
car owners will be particular to park
their car within the space there will be
room enough for ten or a dozen more
cars than can now occupy the space
allotted. The plan on the part Of the
city is an experiment. II it is found
that cars are parked within the spaces
South First avenue will be similarly
divided.

down stream from the main from the

such a dam will not only permanently
protect the pipe line, but will raise the

The city has practically given up the
idea Of having one or more wells OF
large size because data gathered on

council that such wells become useless
in few years by becoming clogged with

LISTEN A MINUTE, UNCLE SAM.

Here's TO sweet Ireland,
The land Of my birth,
The land Of the shamrock,
The best land on earth.
Ireland was Irish,
When England wasn't much,
And 1t still will be Irish,
When England speaks Dutch.
The downfall of England
AS allmen can see,
Is coming so swiftly,
Wen all soon be free.
For England next summer
WIN walk with a crutch,
Surrounded by Germans,
And all speaking Dutch.

Today's Program

In the House tomorrow the second
and more drastic administration meas
ure for control Of foodstuffs will be
pressed for passage, subject to inter
ruption only by conference reports.
This bill would authorize the creation
of a food administrator, price fixing
and prevention of boarding.
After several days of preliminary
work, occupied largely in revising the
original draft. the production bill was
brought before the Senate today by
Chairman Gore Of the agricultural
committee. The brief discussion indi-
Gated some mea sure of opposition even
to the proposed comforting Of power
upon the secretary of agriculture to
have agents inquire into business of
food dealers and owners.
Opposition in the Senate, however,
is largely centered upon the control
measure. Senator Gore is said to OPP
pose the 'price-flxing proposal and for
that reason is not expected to sponsor
or introduce the bill as introduced in
the House Of Representatives by Rep
resentative Lever Of South Carolina
with the approval of the administra-
ton.

Washington, May oS.-A plan under
which the American government would
virtually pool it's purchasing for the
purpose of maintaining maximum ef-
ficiency with that of all the Allies,
construct a buying machine into which
hundreds of experts in many lines
would fit as cog wheels and place one
man in charge of the whole gigantic
enterprise is under consideration and
fast assuming definite outline. This
man would be the worlds super-buy-
err. Into his hands the nations at war
with Germany would place approx
matelv ten billion dollars year. a
store of money exceeding the fabled
treasures of the ancient lncas and
with no parallel in modern history.
SO far has the program progressed
that the officials entrusted WIN It's
execution already have a DEFINITE ldea
as to whom they will choose NhlIe
no final decision has been reached as
to whether one man or small COM
mission shall be chosen. indications
are that it will be one man ana that
his selection will be announced WITH
in the next fortnight.
Great Britain, France. Russia. Italy
Japan. Belgium-virtually all the ma
tions linked with America in the war
against PruSsian autocfacN--lidNe
agreed to the essentials of the scheme
and will sign an agreement making II
effective as soon as the tremendous
amount OF detail involved can be ad-
iustcd. At present the program hinges
on the extent to which the United
states will participate in the poohhg
arrangements.
Plans are being formulated unoer
which the needs of the American army
and navy would be placed in the hanos
of the commission. Heretofore the
