PAVING WAY FOR DRAFT.
First Call Likely To Get One Man In
Twenty Between The Ages
OF 21 And 80.

The wheels of the selectiye draft
act, passed by Congess on May 1S,
have begun to turn. Instructions
have been sent the Sheriff of each
county. On June 5th between Z A..
M. and 9 P. M. all men between the
ages of 21 and 80 years, both in
elusive, must register.
| Registration in the counties will
be under the direction of boards of
three members to be named by the
Governor. The War Department
suggests that these be the Sheriff,
the clerk of court and the county
health officer. The Governor, how
ever, is authorized to appoint others
If he sees fit.
Because of the pressing need OF
men in all industrial and agricul-
tural activities, no legal holiday will
be declared on June 5, as was an
nounced. Governor Harrington said
that he expects every employer to
grant his employees the time to
register without forfeit for the
necessary time lost.
If the figures of the United States
Census Bureau are correct-that
here are, or should be, in the United
States at this time 100000 men
between the ages of 21 and 80, in
elusive, then the call for the first
draft of 100000 men will mean that
Of those, who are required to regis
;er, only 1 in 20 will be taken. On
the second call for 100000 more the
proportion will be 1 in 10.
In order to get 100000 men, it is
assumed that instructions will be is
sued to draw not less than 100000
names, or 1 in 10, within the class.
Half or more than half of those who
might be eligible are usually rejected
for physical defects, as this is the
experience in peace times.
On the other hand, those who are
not feeling we'll on the day of regis
tration or before will have no excuse
for failing to register. Sick or we'll,
they are required to send their cards
in-they can get them in advance
and If they are not fit to serve when
the time comes the medical officers
of the army will find it out. That is
part Of what they are employed to
do.
The State returns, as we'll as the
registration books, can be used as a
check to see that all within their re-
quired ages are registered or give
an account of themselves.

Fire Destroys Paints and Oils.

Fire supposed to have been caused
by sparks from an engine on Thurs
day evening of last week destroyed
the paint house on the Havre de
Grace end of the Pennsylvania rail
road bridge. In the house were
stored paints, oils, brushes, ETC..
being used in the painting of the
bridge. Four men were hurt during
the fire.
Stanley Barrett, an employee OF
the Railroad, while playing the hose
on the building, slipped and fell or
the railroad track, hurting his bac
quite seriously.
Chester Kennedy was completely
enveloped in flames by the explosion
of a can of oil and the tremen were
compelled to play the hose on him to
quench the flames, but not until he
had been burned about the head and
body.
Alonzo Sutor, while descending
the steep hill grading, was struck by
a rolling cross tie, knocked down
and injured in the stomach. Louis
Green also received several bruises
about the legs and body.

The Fishing Season.

With the closing of the fishing
season stock-taking is in order.
This has been the poorest season
ever known at the head of the bay
the catch being very light for her
ring while shad were "few and far
between."
One of the catchers OF fish says
that a pack of 5000 barrels at the
head of the bay would more than tel
the story, and says probably 2,O0C
barrels have been packed between
Havre de Grace and Betterton, when
in 1911, only six years ago, it was
officially kown that over 10000 bar
rels were packed; the tremendous
falling off in the business becomes
at once apparent.
Fresh herring sold as nigh as $50
thousand, a price unheard of few
years ago, and barrel of roe her

Operating Farm Tractor.

Elwood Balderston, of Colora, one
of Cecil county's progressive farm
ers, has purchased from Tosh &
Richards a 20-horse power Titan
tractor, and has had the machine in
operation this week on his farm,
where it was giving a good account
of itself by helping with the spring
plowing. Drawing a gang of three
plows, the tractor was turning over
the sod in big field at the rate of
an acre an hour, and doing the work
nicely and without hitch.
1t is a coal oil burning machine
and the ease with which. it is oper-
ated and dispatch with which il
does its work soon convinces anyone
watching it that this tractor will
prove big help on the farm.

Bridge Wrecked Bx Derrick.

The bridge over what is known as
Hunts Cut, on the Mrs Sarah Jane
Kirk farm, near town, was struck
and completely wrecked on Wednes-
day by a derrick on freight car,
as the train passed under the bridge.
The structure is a private bridge and
serves to give easy access to the
different fields on the farm, which is
practically cut in two by the rail-
road. The derrick stood too high
on the car to pass beneath the
bridge, and ripped the middle span
out completely as the train passed,
rendering the structure impossible.

MANY CLAIMS PAID.
State Industrial Accident Commits.
sion Submits Report of Opera
tions To Governor.

The State Industrial Accident
Commission submitted to Governor
Harrington it's report, In which il
shows that since it's creation it has
awarded compensation upon 1925
claims, amounting to total oil
81, OF this sum $4O4,.
092.52 was awarded during the first
IL months of the commissions exist
ence, the remaining $7O4,939,38
during the last IL months.
Of the 4,803 awards allowed last
year 108 were for fatal accidents;
five were for permanent total dis
abilities, 324 for permanent partial
disabilities, 4,360 for temporary
total disabilities, and six were for
temporary partial disabilities.
The commission, in another part
of it's report, asserts that the reports
Of accidents and claims for compen-
sation have increased approximately
35 per cent. over those for the first
year. Nevertheless the increased
business, together with the increased
business Of the State Accident Fund,
has been carried on, in the opinion
of the commission, with marked
success.
The maintenance of this commits
sion costs the State in round figures
about $4,000 a year. In its report,
however, the assertion is made that
the operation of the law has worked
a big reduction in court expenses
According to the report, the
Maryland State Accident Fund shows
highly satisfactory condition. The
financial statement shows a condi-
tion of security far beyond ordinary
requirements, according to the re
port. About 9 per cent. of the en-
ployers in the State are insured in
the fund. Only three or four of the
insurance companies. writing this
particular class of insurance are
ahead of the State fund.
The State Accident Fund started
business November 1, 1914, without
capital. On November 1, 1916, it's
assets amounted to $102,152.74. At
the last-mentioned date the reserves
for the benefit of policy holders over
all claims amounted to $67,669.07.

posit-Chandler Wins Indi-
viduaI Trophy.

The fourth annual interscholastic
meet held at Tome School, Port De-
posit, brought together big list OF
school athletes and was witnessed
by large crowd. The boat from
Baltimore brought probably the
largest number of excursionists that

Washington. The trophy was award
ed to the latter since Tome, as host
to the 400 visiting athletes, did not
compete for the silver plaque.
