SEARCH FOR BODY OF MISSING
 TRENNIE SMITH CONTINUES IN
 TERRITORY NEAR MARMADUKE
(From Thursdays Daily Press )


 w M. Burroughs, father of Dan- iel Burroughs, the young man who is being held in the Paragould jail charged with the murder of Trinne Smith, was in Paragould this morn ing conferring with his sons at torney, Allan Stewart. MT Stew art and the elder Burroughs went to the jail to see young Burroughs The father was not permitted to see his son, although Mr. Stewart went in for a short conference.
 Miss Smith, whose strange dis appearance from the home of w. M Burroughs about July 10th is now causing grave concern, was eighteen years of age, instead of only fif- teen, as originally stated. She had been making her home with the Burroughs family for more than a year, doing housework and per forming such other duties as are incidental to home life on the farm. She is an orphan and was reared by her grandparents, Mir. and Mrs. Evans, of near Hollywood, Mo The girl inherits some property from her parents. and has from time to time received small sums from her guar dian, George Crones, of Senath MT. Crones drove to Paragould in an au tomobile this morning for the pur- pose of securing information bear ing upon the disappearance of the girl. From Paragould he went to search for clues that may be of assistance to the officers in their hunt for trace of the missing girl MT. Crones has offered a re- ward of. fifty dollars for any in- formation bearing on the case. This reward he stated this morning, would be increased at once to $250. MT. Crones stated to Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jeff Bratton this morning that something more than Fear ago he gave the girl S35. just before she went to the home of Mir and Mrs. Burroughs. Since that time he has had no reg ular correspondence with her.

ONE IN FOUR TO BE
 PHYSICALLY UNFIT
Authorities Expect About 25 Per Cent of Drafted Men Will
 Be Rejected.

Washington, July 27-Reports lof the first selection boards to fill their quotas for the selective draft will give the first definite informa- |tion on probable percentage of re- jections for physical reasons or on account of dependents.
 All available statistics indicate a probable rejection of one in every four for physical disability. The average for the whole coun- try is expected to be between 25 and 30 per cent. There is no avail able data as to the dependents or industrial exemptions.
 Some officials expect the lowest rejection and exemption rates will be in well-to-do communities, such as suburbs of large cities, where men of comfortable incomes make their homes and their sons have had better food, care and surround |ings than factory hands or nearby towns, and should be in better physical condition In factory towns the rejection for physical disability probably will be high, as the men are confined |six days week at their machines. Practically every married man of those registered in these places is the sole support of his wife and children, and such men caIpot be taken. If the industry in which they are engaged is vital to the carrying on of the war industrial exemptions will run high
 TO INFORM REGISTRANTS. Officials of the provost marshal generals office yesterday began preparing a new publication to furnish registered men with an easy method of keeping track of their status.
 The new list will be issued with cross eference by number between the red ink and drawing numbers. It will be possible for those sup piled with the lists to inform any many almost instantly in which or
 der he was drawn when he furnish these lists will be placed in the se lection boards headquarters, so that lregistrants may learn quickly where they stand. If the master | list was used it might be necessary | to ready over several thousand numbers before a registrant could
 find his.
 A careful outline of the process
 to be followed both by the selection | and district boards also is being prepared for publication.
 | The only thing registrants can
 do now is to watch the selection
 board headquarters so as to know | immediately when their names are
 posted. The date when they are to
 report for physical examination will
 be shown at the same time l Even the question of dependents
 will not come up until report on
 a mans physical condition shows
 him to be suitable for military ser
 vice. Then the selection board will
 be prepared to receive affidavits on dependents. The forms of the af fidavits will be shown by the board.
 Similar forms for applications for
 cxemption on industrial grounds or
 for appeal from the ruling of the
 selection board will not be avail
 able until the time for their use
 comes. The purpose of the plan is
 to avoid the piling up of docu-
 ments and to provide that boards
 will have before them at any time
 only the papers of cases in process lof hearing.

USE OF DRIED FRUITS
AND FISH ADVISED
Csy Un4ted Press.)


INDIANAPOLIS. IND. Aug. az
Prediction that desiccated fruits, fish
and vegetables will increase greatly in
commercial value as a result of com
pulsory food saving resulting from war.
was made here yesterday by DR.. Harry
e. Barnard. Indiana's food administra-
tor. Through the United Press. Barn
ard issued the following statement:
THE home drying of fruits and
vegetables, an almost forgotten prac-
tice, has become popular again and
many bags Of dried greens. peas. beans
and fruits have been carefully prepared
and put away for future use. 1t is
probable that some Of all of this thrifty
boarding will be disappointing. The
fruits will mould and the vegetables
become stale. and unpalatable, but out
o. all the successes and failures there
IS bound to come greater apprepria-
ton Of the real value OF dessicated
foods. As a matter of fact. such foods
are by no means unknown in this coun-
try. There are many dried milk prod
ucts on the market. dried eggs are ex-
tsnsively used by bakers, dried apples
peaches, prunes and raisins, which may
be clessed as semi dessicated because
they still contain considerable mois-
ture and are staple foods. Dried fish,
oysters and clans have been on the
market for years. But we have not
learned TO use dessicated vegetables.
Several companies have worked for
years in the endeavor to popularize
their really superior products, but the
consumer has not been ready TO use
them. This Is the year he is going to
learn through his own efforts how good
aried vegetables really are.
There are many commercial advant
ages in desiccated products. 1t is not
NECESSARY TO put them up in the sterile
package. They may be packed in a
greater vafiety of containers. since
they are practically water free, it costs
very much less to transport them than
It does to freight vegetables to market.
Dried vegetables can be packed in bulk.
II has been estimated that one ship can
carry a. much food in the form Of dried
vegetables as ten ships can transport
when their csrgoes carry their original
water content. The cost Of shipping
water around the country in fruit or
vegetables is an appalling sum. Prac-
tically ninetenths of all the money paid
for delivering the products Of our gard
ems and orchards TO the consumer IS
water haulage.
THE public will have an opportunity
OF trying out NUMBER OF deSlccated
products II the plans Of several cor
porations mature. During the coming
winter the housewife may have the

new YORK GIANTS ARE
PICKED AS WINNERS
Have Passed Halfway Port
and Are Steadily Pulling
Away from Bunch
BY H. G. Hamilton.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, July 9.-Just over the
brink of the half way mark, the New
York Giants, favorites in the encounter
over who will wear the flag in the Ma
tional league, are kicking out with a
vigor that indicates the dope is right.
Regardless of what John j. MeGraw
may repudiate, it is believed in the best
Informed circles that the Giants, as
team, have no intention of repudiating
those persons who selected them as the
National leagues worlds series repre-
sentatives.
Today they resume where they left
off Saturday-at a point where they
have gnawed considerable off the aver
age of the st. Louis Cardinals
The records for the week ;ust over
give the Giants six victories out of
seven starts, while out of the same
number of efforts the contending Phil
lies got on the right side OF the ledger
only once. AS consequence, the
Giants have won six more games than
the Phillies and have lost seven less
They are in first place by margin of
almost 100 points. AT the rate they
are now playing, the race may be run
away before many more weeks have
passed.

Mum sent his recommendations to the
eounty court concerning solution of
the problem. His recommendation fol
low:
"Our estimate on the concrete piers
was $49,75l, and the lowest bid was
$S5, ,532, or a difference of $45,7S1," "
he points out. Z" A study of these bids
shows conclusively that the total bid,
considered as a whole, is unbalanced,
the excessive cost being entirely con-
fined to the foundation work, which is
the first work open to your considera-
tion and the first work which must be
completed"
The highway department recommend
ed, first, that the lowest bids for the
steel and the east and west approaches
be accepted, and that the concrete
piers be awarded on total cost plus
a fixed lump sum profit to the lowest
bidder on the other contracts, the fix
ed lump sum for profit to be agreed
upon between the county commission
ers court of Marion county and the
lowest bidder.
The second Recommendation is that
the contracts for the approaches be
awarded to the lowest bidder and that
the contract for the piers be awarded
to the same bidder at cost price plus
a fixed lump sum for profit, and that
the contract for the steel work be re-
iected and a wooden truss bridge be
substituted until such time as steel
prices become normal.
Cost is Fixed
GO In conclusion, says the letter, the
state highway engineer S office wishes
to state that it does not believe the es-
innate for wooden structure will eX-
ceed $4,000, and such structure could
be used constantly without excessive
repair for at least seven years.
Mr.. Num- explained that by adopt
ing the second recommendation the
wood trusses could be made ready to
put together as soon as the piers were
completed so that by the time the last
piers were finished all but the last
section of the bridge would be ready
for use. 1t would be the quickest way
to get bridge, he said.
"By accepting recommendation No.
l, ~ said Mr.. Num-, sit has been esti-
mated chat approximately $50, 900 could
cepting recommendation No. 2, it was
be saved on the piers; and, by ac-
estimated that approximately the same
amount could be saved on the piers,
and the further amount of $4,000
saved on steel when it had returned
to normal prices, and the county would
thus not be deprived of the use OF
the money which would have been in
vested i'll steel at high cost.
''The force account, plus a fixed
lump sum suggested, is precedent
that has been established recently by
the government in handling its work
promptly and efficiently during the
high cost of materials and uncertain
labor conditions
