Four Sisters Born at Same Time Pass
ed Their Second Birthday Recently.
The quardruplet girls of Hollis,

who tipped the scales at an even 81
pounds.
Physicians from all parts of the
country came to see the babes after
birth and medical men still are won

soon after birth. These girls, how
ever, are as healthy as though born
at separate times.

GERMAN AIRMEN LOOK
FOR PERSHINC'S CAMP
SEVERAL ATTEMPTS ARE FOIL
ED BY FRENCH filters WHO
GIVE BATTLE IN THE AIR.

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP,
France.-German airplanes have per-
sistently sought to locate the Ameri-
can troops since their arrival here,
but without the slightest success to
date.
French fliers have been so watch
full and energetic that the Germans
have been unable to approach the en-
campment, and have been beaten off
each time they crossed the French
line.
One of these aerial battles was wit
messed by American officers who were
touring the country in automobiles.
Some fifteen planes were engaged in
the fight, which took place thousands
Of feet above the ground, far from
the American encampment. The sky
was cloudless and the fighting was
plainly discernible.
The German airmen were forced
to turn and make for home without
having spotted the American camps.
The eyewitness accounts of this
and another air battle on a previous
day, in which the hostile fliers were
also beaten aft, is the first authentic
proof that the Germans have been
within hundred miles of the Amer
lean quarters.

SILK GOWN AT LAKE
BOTTOM FIFTY-TWO YEARS
Was Sunk In the Hold of the Pewau-

Was Sunk In the Hold of the Pewau-
bic in 1865.
DETROIT, Mich.-After lying for
more than half century on the racks
that form the bottom of Lake Huron,
off Thunder Bay Island, the treasure
stored in the hold of the steamer Pc
waubic, sunk August 9, 1865, is now
being brought to the surface.
With the raising of the "clam'
load of relics from the long-sunken
steamer came the breaking of a
worlds record in deep sea salvage,
the fruition of the three years eff
forts of a Detroit and Toledo party
to prove deep sea salvage possible.
At the present price of copper,
that metal alone will be worth $780,
900, as there were nearly 800 tons.
Despite its submersion under 100
feet of water for ffty-two years, a
silk gown when dried apparently was
almost as good as when new.

TEXAS FARMERS TO
QUIT RAISING COTTON
SHOULD 1T BE NECESSARY TO
STOP THE ADVANCE OF THE
PINK BOIL WORM.

If the only way to keep the pink
boil worm of Mexico out of the Unit
ed States is for Texas cotton growers
in a zone along the Rio Grande river
to stop growing cotton altogether,
these farmers are willing to sacrifice
one of their most profitable crops to
save the cotton-growing states.
That was the declaration of seven
men representing farmers and bust
ness interests of the lower Rio
Grande river region in Texas who
came to Washington to confer with
representatives of the United States
department of agriculture over the
peril to the American cotton indus
try now lurking in the cotton fields
of Mexico. But to give up cotton
means a considerable sacrifice on
their part, the farmers said, and for
this reason they urged that the de-
claration of a cotton-free zone, as
contemplated by the federal and Tex
as state governments, be made only
as last resort.
Important Cash Crop.
Cotton, the Texas representatives
said, was an important cash crop in
the lower part of the zone planned
as barrier to the Mexican pest. It
was said that the area in the cotton
this in the two -Hidalgo
and Cameron--the territory chiefly
affected, was $4,000 acres. A repre-
sentative from the dry-farming sec
ton farther north declared that cot
ton was one of their most profitable
crops and that it would be hardship
for them to give it up. The represen-
tative Joined in a recommendation
suggesting the establishment, in CO.
operation with officials of Mexico, of
cotton-free zone on the Mexican
side Of the river instead of in Texas.
Since little cotton would be affected
by such zone on the Mexican side
it was believed that this plan could
be carried out with much less loss.
Representatives of the Texas state
department of agriculture and the
state agricultural college pledged
support to whatever measures were
deemed necessary. All the Texas
delegates were thoroughly aroused to
the menacing pest and declared they
were ready to support drastic meas
ures. That a cotton-free zone in
Texas, however, should not be de.
clared until every other measure cal
culated to prevent the introduction
of the pink boil worm had proven
futile, was the sentiment of the Tex
ans.

SECOND ARMY CLASS
Be CALLED IN AUGUST
THREE QUARTERS OF MILLION
MORE MEN TO BE EXAMIN-
ED. FEW TO ESCAPE.

WASHINGTON.-The second class
of 755,7O0 men registered under the
selective service law will be called
up for examination early in August.
With examination of the first quo
ia of 1,374,000 progressing rapidly
the provost marshal generals Office
announced that seven days after the
first called are examined the second
quota would be posted for examina-
ton.
The second class, which will num-
Der 10 per cent. of the 687, 900 men
needed to fill the regular army and
militia and the new national army
of 100000 will be combed for men
to replace those exempted in the first
group.
Today General Crowder moved to
restrict exemptions further. Medical
students and men serving in Red
Cross ambulance companies have NO
valid claims for exemption or dis
charge, he ruled.
Agricultural workers and munition
factory handlers also will be greatly
restricted in exemption claims, it was
intimated. Although these industries
are not specifically exempted, appeals
are pouring in from the farm district
and big industrial centers for favor
able rulings. Exemption boards must
consider claims of farm laborers
strictly on their merits. The city "war
gardener" will not be exempted as
farm hand who feeds the army, it
was stated.
General CrOwder declared from
this date members of the local boards
must consider themselves as selected
for such service and cannot resign.
If they persist in refusing to per-
form their duties they will be report
ed to the nearest representative of
the federal department of justice

THE MISSOURI RIVER is
THREATENING FARM LANDS
Cutting Land Away, and Buildings
Will Have to Be Moved.

Will Rave to be moved.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa.-Farmers liv-
ing west of South Sioux City along
the bank of-the Missouri river are
becoming alarmed at the cutting be-
ing done by the stream and are pre-
pairing to move their buildings. Many
of them believe that the current soon
will cut past the government riprap
above the Combination bridge and
soon leave it in the middle of the
river.
On the farm of Alfred Austin,
above South Sioux City, the river
continues cutting, and is now within
few feet of the barn. Mr.. Austin
will move the barn and other out
buildings today, and it may be nee
essary to move the house, he said.
Sand bars are growing rapidly on
the Iowa side of the river. They ex-
tend for several hundred yards from
the foot of Prospect hill and contin-
ue up the river for about two miles.

Under the provisions of the state

1t is pointed out, however, that the

included, between sunset and one and
