such an extent that large areas Of

Whereas the question of how to

been carefully considered By the diff

GOVERNOR CALLS
SPECIAL SE8ION

Denver, July s.-Sett;ng forth eight
specific reasons. for SO doing, Governor
Gunter yesterday issued his call for a
special session Of the Twenty. first gen
eral assembly Of the state to convene
at noon Wednesday, July IS. Seven of
the reasons are to consider wartime
measures which are extremely vital to
the welfare Of the state, while the other
reason is to correct an error made by
the general assembly at its regular
session.
The reasons set forth in the procla-
nation calling the legislators Of the
state together for special session are {:
1. To provide, either by the issuance
Of bonds or by taxes, or both, for pay
ing the expense which has been, or may
be incurred for the raising, mainte-
nance, equipment and preparation Of
the national guard Of the state for fed
sral service; and to provide for paying

priations therefor.
2. To provide guard of force to
maintain order in the state.
3. To provide for the conservation
and distribution of the food supply and
the increase of production.
4. To permit state banking iutsitu.
tons to enter the federal reserve sys.
TEN.
s. To provide funds for such other
needs and uses of the state as have
arisen, or may arise out of the war.
6. To provide for the payment of
warrants already issued on account of
the national guard of the state in the
year 1916.
Z. To provide for the support and
maintenance of the state Soldiers and
Sailors home of Monte Vista.
8. To provide for the expenses Of
the special session hereby called.
In his proclamation Governor Guntcr
does not attempt to recommend any
specific legislation, desiring to with
hold any recommendations that he has
to make for his message which he will
deliver at the convening of the assem-
bly,.
The need of the passage of an appro'
priation bill for the support and main
tenance of the Soldiers and Sailors

the vicinity of the magazine and broke
thousands of dollars worth of glass in
Vallejo stores and residences, pending
the results of the investigation. He
also refused to affirm or deny that sew

NEwSPAPER sNoBBERY

The eastern newspapers present curl.
Gus study. The innate intellectual
snobbery Of Boston for decade or
more has mingled itself with the innate
financial snobbery Of New York, pro-
ducing kind of journalistic smugness.
All this in turn has been affected subtly
but plainly by the federal reserve law,
which has produced in eastern financial
circles sort of undercurrent Of en-
forced modesty, as man might say to
himself: "I am no longer what was,
but don't want anyone to say too
much about it, Wall Street in fact
no longer rules the country. so'
The eastern newspapers reflect this
atmosphere. Some day they will wake
up still more and discover that there
are west and south. They almost
discovered it after the last national
election. But not quite.-The Country

NOT ALWAYS HAPPY

1t is customary but I think it is
mistake, to speak of "happy" child
hood. Children are often overanxious
and acutely sensitive. Man ought to
be man and master of his fate; but
children are at the mercy of those
around them. Mr.. Rarey, the great
horse tanner, has told us that he has
known an angry word to raise the
pulse of a horse ten beats in minute.
Think then how it must affect child!

RED INK TO TELL STORY

Washington, July S.-Another step in
building up the selective conscription
army was taken today with the dist1i-
button of circular by Provost Mar
shal General Crowder, notifying the reg
istered men to hold themselves in readi-
ness for appearance before the board
which will conduct examinations and
consider exemptions.
How or when the government will
select the men to be examined is not
detailed in the circular, but it is re-
vealed that registration cards in each
country or city jurisdiction are to be
numbered with red ink, that Gas soon
! as the drawing is complete, lists show
ing the order in which these red ink
numbers are drawn will be published
in the press and will be posted at the
office of each local board"
It already has been announced that
the selection will take place in Wash
ington and the general presumption has
been that some device similar to jury
wheel will be employed.
Exemptions are to be determined by
the local boards, the circular shows,
only for the previously announced
specified causes, such as responsibility
for the support of relatives and not for
agricultural or industrial reasons. Seven
days after designations are posted will
be allowed for filing claims. There
will be an additional allowance of ten
days for filing proofs and the board
must decide within three days afte,
the proof is filed.
When the case Of any registrant has
been disposed Of SO far as the local
board is concerned, the names Of those
not exempted or discharged will be
posted. Claims for exemption for agri
cultural or industrial work must be
made within five days after such post.
