UNITED Press Leased Wire Servicel
WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-Herbert
Hoover is awaiting only the word OF
the president formally designating
him food controller under the new
food bill, to begin his work.
The machinery for executing the
most sweeping law ever passed by
congress is ready today. Throughout
the country agencies are waiting for
orders from Washington.
The work will be done at first on d
volunteer basis. With the law as a
club in his hands, however, Hoover
expects to swing into line the small
percentage who balk at control.
From the producer to the consumer
Hoover will work along volunteer CO.
operative lines, seeking concessions,
a general reduction in prices on neces-
saries and a tremendous saving in
waste.
AS soon as he is formally named
controller, Hoover will issue a series
Of statements outlining his program.
Hoover conferred with the presi-
dent today regarding the administra-
ton of the different state food con-
troll branches which will be named as
soon as the bill Is law.
Coal Price Agreement.
SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. 9-Wheth-
er an agreement on the coal situation
in Illinois was reached at the con-
ference late yesterday between Gov
ernor Lowden and coal operators, was
still a matter of conjecture today.
Conflicting reports were heard on
every hand, but verification could not
be obtained from either the governor
or the operators. 1t is known, how
ever, that the operators first pre-
sented the case to the state executive,
but the only announcement by Gov
rnor Lowden was that "the confer
ence was not conclusive"
After the five hour meeting, the
state executive talked with Samuel
insult and Lazy. Mayer Of the state
council of defense, and it is prob
able nothing definite will be made
public until the council meets.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Aug. 9.-Arrest of
physicians who have aided men to
evade the draft, is expected here
today following an Investigation
started by federal agents last night
after discovery that men drafted had
evaded the call by use Of drugs which
caused them to be rejected by physi-
cal examiners. Scores of men ap-
pearing before examining boards were
found to have heart trouble and de-
fective eyes. In several wards exam
liners found that through use of digi-
tails and atrophine, physicians had
"doped" the men SO that they were
temporarily unable to pass examina-
tions.

DUTY Of Wives.

Duty OF Wives.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Wives
who worked in offices and factories
before marriage should seek employ
ment in industry again, releasing
their husbands for army service.
This was an official suggestion of
the provost marshal generals office
today supplementing General Crow
der's ruling that when the wife Is
assured reasonably adequate sup
port" the husband should not be
exempted on the ground Of depend
ents.
Officials would not define reason
ably adequate" They said it varied
with conditions and that the local
exem ption boards would have to de-
eide individual cases on their merits.
A wife with young children unable
to support herself or without ade-
quate support from relatives, would
entitle the husband to exemption, it
was stated.
General Crowder's ruling was an
open appeal to relatives to support
the wife so that the husband can go
to war
This will strike the rich particu-
larly
Mobilization orders for the 1000
men in the first draft will be issued
by General Crowder tomorrow. The

ment will be ready by September L,

Rules for Country Correspondents

One of the most valuable assets a
country weekly can have is that cooper
alton from clever and energetic county
correspondents. The news OF the county
should be covered by good correspon-
dent in every community. The brief,
newsy letters from the rural centers are
the making of country weekly.
The Glacier feel like congratulating
itself on the list of good, live news gath
erers, who each week fill many columns
with readable news of local happenings.
AS far as the real gathering of the news
is concerned there could be no great i'm.
provement. However, there are some
few, simple rules that could be followed
beneically. If country correspondents
will observe the following, the page of
country items will be more attractive
and can be set by The Glacier without
innumerable annoyances that sometimes
arise when the rules are not observed.
Always secure, where possible, initials
of persons. Don't say Mrs. Smith and
daughters visited Mrs. Brown and fam
lily. If it is Mrs John Smith or Mrs. A.
A. Smith, designate them by their
proper initials or given name.
Always give definite dates.
Do not use authorizations, except in
case of given names.
In case Of fire, give cause, total dam
age and insurance, If any.
Remember The Glacier sets country
correspondents on Tuesdays. Endeavor
to mail your letter, so that it will reach
the Office by Tuesday morning. We'd
nesday is reserved for the setting of the
news happenings gathered IN the local
Office, and If the country correspondence
piles up on Wednesday, the office force
is badly hampered. A little co-opera-
tion on the part of the country corre-
spondents will in many cases prevent
late hours for the Office force on We'd
nesdays.
If any important news happening
breaks in your community after your
letter has been mailed, you may reach
the office by telephone, or you MAY mail
another letter, that is, if it will be possi-
BILE for it to reach the office on Wednes-
day.
Don't hesitate to ask the office for
suggestions.
II you are out OF stationery, notify
the Office. In case it is not received i'm
mediately, send in another call. 1t may
be possible that your first letter was
misplaced.
Remember that your are in charge of
one of the most beneficial mediums in
your community. The Glacier appreci-
ates your work as well as your fellow
residents, whose weekly comings and
goings you chronicle.
The most important rule is that con-
corning promptness of getting yonr let.
ter to the office on Tuesday,
