VERY HEAVY REGISTRATION

Fall Far Below the
Estimates.

Washington, June 6.-America's mil
lions Of military age prescribed by
congress are registered for the war
against Germany. In every state in
the Union today reports Of the vot-
ing places to which some ten million
young men marched yesterday to
record their names were being as
sembled for transmission to the war
department. Tho next step in tho
governments plan will be the selee-
tion Of those who actually are to bear
arms from others who remain at home
because Of dependents or to do the
work on the farm or in the factory.
The mon selected, about a million as
now estina ated, will be called to tho
eolors and put into training early in
the fall. Originally II was intended to
call only that five hundred thousand
for the first draft army to support
the national guard, but a few days ago
Il was announced that nearly a mil
lion men would be needed on the first
selection.

tfcally complete by tonight

a subject that may digress slightly
from the beaten path Of personal
building Improvements, etc. being
made in our county, but, nevertheless,
lit is subject that should be right
now close to our hearts. You and
know that Uncle Sam could conscript
US all for service at the front; he
might even lay hold on our property in
order to carry on the war; he has
ldone neither and only asks that we
loan him our money at our per cent.
Buy bond because it is the best in

than a bill of money because it car
ries an interest consideration of four
per cent, backed by the resources Of
the greatest country in the world. We
could loan. Uncle Sam thirty-seven
billions and even then the nation
would be better off financially than
lit was at the close of our civil war.
The security is the very best that can
be offered. Bonds can be purchased
in denominations as small as $50. in
|installments, or on a system Of one
dollar per week. The purchase will
encourage thrift and bring a character
benefit also. Buy bond and save the
banks from becoming overloaded IN

ness interests at the present time.
these must not be allowed to drag, and
by distributing, the bonds among
millions of purchasers this RESPONSE
bility will be placed among the many
and the reaction or depression will
mot be felt. Uncle Sam asks Crawford
county farmers, as we'll rs other citi-
zens, to get back of this plan and it
lis certain their response will be most
hearty. Crawford county's quota II
1894 900 must be met. 1t is far better
that we loan this money to our gov
|ernment than to be compelled to pay
it in taxes. Talk It over with your
banker, he will explain how easy this
seemingly burden can be carried by
you to your credit and. profit. We
have said that we would rally round
the flag when the proper: time came
and that time has arrived. Your
Uncle Samuel needs your help and

CRACKED GRAINS FOR FOWLS
Less Trouble to Purchase Prepared
Feeds Where but Few Chickens
Are Kept-Look for Grit.

When one has only few chickens.
It is less trouble to purchase the pre-
pared chick feeds, but where con-
siderable number are reared it Is
sometimes cheaper to buy the finely
cracked grains and mix them together.
Some chick feeds contain a large guam

poor quality, so that they should be
carefully examined and guarantee as

Ion, It was stated early in the season
that the government was not going to
allow anyone to charge more than
$3.50 as an established price. That
has not been brought about, but it
may come later. Some persons fail to
take into consideration that when the
government set 1920 as a price for
wheat it means standard wheat, not
shriveled or mixed with other grain.
So if the government buys putatoes
