Dean F. w. Blackmar of Kansas
University spoke before the Kansas
Food Defense League at Topeka yes
terday on the CONSUMPTION bill. He
said in part: Whatever may be our
personal views ON the volunteer and
CONSUMPTION proposition, it must be
plain to all OF us that there is no
disgrace attached to those who en-
ter the army now through the Sc
lective draft. 1t is no more a dis
grace under the plan outlined in the
army bill now, than 1t is to be call
ed upon to pay taxes. And the only
disgrace In that comes from the
tax dodger, and along with him now
should be classed the CONSUMPTION
dodger."

Six from Kansas City, Kan, % from

Army officers enrolling men for
attendance at the Fort Riley mill
tary training camp found themsel-
YES facing this situation of the eve
Of the opening of the training, last
night. A shortage of mature men
and a roster of more than three
thousand men who can qualify only
for places as first and second lieu
tenants when the need of the war
department. is for men above 80
years of age and of proved executive
lbility. OF course many young men
will be needed but the higher COM
hands require seasoned executives
With business experience and ability.
The maximum ages for the various
Commands are as follows; second
lieutenant 80, first lieutenant SO,
aptain 40, major As. AS the ma
ority of those who have applied are
nder 30 years of age it can read
y be seen that there are more
respective lieutenants than cap
aims or majors
The sixteen infantry divisions ag-
regate approximately a half million
zen. The officers of this force must
.ceive substantial promotions to
Ieet the demands of forces to be
lised later 1t is conceivable that
ANY men who are appointed in
The First Ten Thousand" must be
one grade with each sue
,ssive addition to our military
rces. Other similar camps must
llow this first camp. Young men
ust be admitted to the first camp
It not to the exclusion of maturer
en-. In the second and following
mps younger men will predomi-
tie.

St. Paul, July 6.-"You can't
teach patriotism to laborers and pro-
Educers wnen economic conditions are
such that they receive scarcely
enough from their toll to take care
of their families" E. G. Quamme,
president Of the st. Paul Federal
Land bank, said in addressing 5000
members Of Twin City Norwegian So
cieties at the State Fair grounds.
Establishing control over indus
tries and marketing as contemplated
by our government is one of the
most important steps we have taken
since the Civil war;" he said.
Selfshness and Greed.
"Prices are rising. War is given
as the reason. The real reason is
selishness and greed. This must not
be permitted. Under proper gov
ernment regulation every man who
labors should receive just remuner-
alton for his toll. In this way only
can real patriotism be engendered in
the minds and hearts of the people.
"Fate has destined us to guide the
nations of the world out of chaos
which is threatening the very foun-
5dations of civilization. Our course
is clear and we must carry out Wig
Forous1ys the part we are destined to
play in this conflict for supremacy"

MINNESOTA HAS TWENTY
SPECIES OF MOSQUITOES

Minnesota has 90 species of mos
ouitoes-11 Of these are common.
Further collections will probably in
crease these numbers.
These facts are .aken from an ar
ticle by c. w. Howard of the Mime
sofa experiment station in the six
teenth report of F. l.. Washburn,
state entomologist of Minnesota.
DR.. Howard's article contains a
key for determining the species of
dault mosquitoes, and has something
to say about the methods of control.
Other features of the entomolo-
gist's report deal with white pine
blister rust, orchard and shade tree
insects, distribution of fish to farm
ers, truck crop and field crop I'M
sects,. spraying the white mark tus-
sock moth, nursery inspection, green
house fumigation, the strawberry
weevil, weed insects, bill bugs and
Minnesota birds.

ON WAR DISPATCHES

Washington, July 6.-The war de-
partment here continues to censor
news dispatches from Paris which al
ready have been passed by foreign
censors. 1t defects incoming cable
grams at New York to Washington,
where they are censored and turned
over to representatives Of the press
associations and newspapers, to
whose New York office the cable mes
sages are addressed.
Secretary Baker in statement
said that the present arrangement is
temporary and will be maintained
"only so long as is necessary to per-
feet a smooth-working plan to ham
die this matter without imperilling
the lives of American citizens
It is understood that George Creef
is soon to visit New York to make
some different arrangements. The
press associations and the newspa-
pers were not advised in advance of
Secretary Bakers plan Of DETECTING
incoming cablegrams to Washington.
Secretary Baker has issued state
ment explaining the operation of the

that the present arrangements are
temporary and soon will be supple

Washington, July 6.-Arrange-
ments for the next step toward mo-

draft-were taken up last night at
a conference between Secretary Ba-
ker and Provost Marshall General
CrOwder.
Mr.. Baker said later he had no an
nouncement to make as to the date Of
the drawing. 1t has been announced
that the drawing will be held ip
Washington and it is expected
statement covering the method to be
followed will be made today or to-
morrow.
Preliminaries Necessary.
Organization Of the local and dis
trict exemption boards, the arrange
ment Of the registration lists in serial
numbers and other preliminary work
must be completed before the selec-
tion machinery can be set in motion.
A. A .statsnpen by the public informa-
tor Committee says this may be done
by Sunday, though there is no GER
tainty about it. Reports current to-
day that selections already had been
made probably arose from the fact
that many boards have numbered
their registration cards and in some
cases probably already are publishing
the districts as required by regula-
tions The last district will ahve to
complete this work. however, before
the selection can begin as the admin
istratiOn is determined to leave no
lcophole for Juggling of the serial
numbers. 1t is for that reason that
public posting Of the lists and the
fling Of duplicate copies with the
provost marshal general has been re-
quired in advance of selection
Numbers ONLY.
The care with which the number
ing of the registration cards is being
carried out makes it certain that the
drawing will be based entirely upon
the numbers. No names will be in
vOlved in the actual process Of selec-
tion, which will closely approximate,
it is understood. the jury wheel sys-
