When things go wrong,
And troubles throng,
If it did any good
To fume and fuss and fret,
With everyone who would
Strive to express regret
Or, if it helped you out
To sling apart and pout,
When others are about
The world would ever praise.
Such crusty ways.
But when each word
You speak, is slurred
With venom, and you vent
You spleen against some heart
Which rues your discomfort,
Only to make it smart
Suppose you lose one friend
What benefits attend?
You may need in the end?
Better by far a song,
When things go wrong.

Practically every Dawson home

as about three hundred girls and
boys will take part. The program will
be of patriotic nature, which is quite
appropriate at the present time. A
unique feature will be the singing of
the Star Spangled Banner by the en-
tire school, who will be grouped so
as to form the three letters gu. S.

held above the head of the queen by
America, being lowered on the last

Wilson will issue his proclamation
and authorize regulations under
which the selective feature of the
law is to be applied. 1t is rather GER
tain that the producers occu-
plying positions which would better
serve the nations purpose by contin-
uing in their useful work-will be
exempted from military service; and
the farmer boy actually engaged in
the production of crops probably will
not be called, but urged to continue.
as President Wilson has aptly phras-
ed it, "a soldier for the government
in the field"
Another popular misconception of
the draft bill is that all between the
ages fixed are to be conscripted. The
law will mean that the number of
men the government needs are to be
taken from those ages, and not by
any means that the entire class will
be used. Neither may apprehension
be entertained, according to govern
ment officials, that farms are to be
deprived of their labor.
Exemptions Under the Draft.
Already the white house is beseig-
ed with suggestions that this or that
occupation be exempted under the
draft, upon the ground it is impera-
tive in order to assure that the
country's resources will not be re-
duced. 1t is understood all of these
things are to be taken into consider
alton, but it is also said that the hope
of favoritism under the law might be
abandoned now. The government
proposes to see that the draft is ap-
piled with a minimum of inconven-
fence to the individual and the occu-
patton.
Expect to Register 1000, 900.
Registration of approximately r.
100000 men for military service will
be completed within fifteen days
after the war departments machin-
cry has been set in motion.
State election systems viii do the
work under supervision of the federal
government, the voting precincts be-
ing the units for actual recording of
the men.
Five days will be allowed to COM
plete registration, and within thirty
days the completed roll will be in
Washington.

stoned officers places will be avail
able, while the remainder of the num-
Der will be assigned other work.
This is compliment to our COM
munity in general, but to these young
men in particular, it being an official
announcement that they are now
leaders in civil life and with the
proper training should be in the mil
itary field.
The following young men repre-
sent this city and county: James A.
