corps. No. 20, left to take up their
duties on Sept. 1st. We wish for
these BOYS as well as all others that
have our country's needs at heart,
all the good luck possible for them to

memory.
Robert. X. Clay has been called to
report the fifth. Robert is one of
our most industrious young farmers
and will be greatly missed while a.
way, but knowing him as we do, we
feel sure he will rise to a higher sta
ton than private.
The taking away of these young
farmers is placing most of the people
in a bad shape for gathering their
crops. Help is scarce, but Uncle
Sam knows best. Maybe some of
these that cant (?) go will help us
out
Some of the lawyers have reaped
a rich reward from these exemption
claims, one of the farmer boys paid
out five-and half and still it's not
satisfactory. 1t seems l would, if a
lawyer, aid country boy, especially
if he is wanting to be loyal to coun-
try, and has the interests of home
at heart too. Wanted respite un-
til December. We ought to be proud
of them for feeling this way.

BILL PROVIDES FOR
 TAKING OVER SHIPS
Measure in Congress Permits Communicating of Vessels in Emergency-Bill is Approved by President Wilson.

Washington, Feb. Sweeping pro- visions for communicating vessels and other shipping facilities in case of war or threatened war are contained in a bill introduced in both Senate and house today and backed by request from the administration that it be pressed to immediate passage.
 The president would be authorized to take over "in time of war or any proclaimed national emergency any vessel owned by citizen of the Unit ed States or by corporation organ ized in the United States, any vessel belonging in the United States, any vessel registered under the American flag, any vessel purchased, leased or chartered by the Federal Shipping Board, or any other instrumentality of water commerce within the country, including docks, warehouses and other trminal facilities.
 The bill would prohibit sale of American vessels to foreigners or their transfer to foreign flags in time of emergency. Under the present law the president may make such a pro- hibition by proclamation and procla- nation declaring it effective in the present emergency has been issued by the president.
 ] The bill, designed to place the United States on par with European nations in the control of it's shipping facilities in time of stress, was drawn up after conference last night be- tween Secretary McAdoo, Chairman Denman of the Shipping Board, and members of Congress. Today it was approved by President Wilson. The ships may be seized without notice ii the president believes the emergency warrants it, though the federal gov ernment thereafter shall pay th' person interested the fair equal valu, of the property so taken, to be deter mined by appraisers, one appointed by the board, one by the person inter ested, and the third by the two SC appointed, the finding of such apprais CTS to be final and binding upon botf parties"
 It is provided that any shipping concern, majority of whose stock is held or controlled by American citi- zens shall be classed as an American concern.

This newspaper says that European neutrals must decide on their policy toward Germany, "ac- cording to their own interests, not ac- cording to American sentiments" and adds:

 "To the latest American note Nor way has no answer but this: Mem bers of the cabinet decline to discuss the subject of Norway's attitude to- ward the new German submarine
 It is said that the Danish govern ment has decided that it cannot follow the example of the United States in breaking relations with Germany. A note will be sent to Washington ex- plaining the position of Denmark, and calling attention to the fact that con- ferences between representatives oi the three Scandinavian countries as tt their international interests are being continued at Stockholm.
