BUREAU WAS WRONG
Failed to Count Men Already Enlisted
In Making Up Their Draft
Estimate.

Washington, June 13.-Total regis
tration for selective service will be
approximately Va million. according
to revised figures given out today by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
This number is more than one mil
lion below the original census esti-
mate.
Revision Of the figures was made
when the provost marshal generals Of
flee realized that in using census fig
ures officials did not take into ac-
count the fact that about six hundred
thousand men of eligible age already
have volunteered for service in the
regular army, national guard, navy
and marine corps.
Another factor in the revisions was
belated realization that the census bu-
reau estimates-made previous to the
war-did not take into account the
fact that in the past three years inn
migration has practically stopped.
While officials realize there are still
probably several thousand ~slackers,
they pointed out today following the
revision of estimates that the number
will be far less than at first expected.

PIERSOL STILL DENIES GUILT
Although Suspect Was Strung Up
Three Times, He Refused to
Confess the Crime.

Springfield, Mo-. July 11.-With

officers here assert-Taylor. Adams.

ton, it is believed that Springfield has
given up any attempt to ayenge the
murder of little Lloyd Keet, the
Springfield bankers baby who was
thrown alive into an abandoned we'll
by kidnapers, and will allow the law
to take its course. And after twelve
hours Of reflection today following
last nights mad scene when thou
sands crowded and pushed around the
public square waiting impatiently for
the return of the posse who followed
Sheriff Win Webb and his trembling
prisoners. Springfield is glad they
never came back.
But up at Stockton. Mo, last night
shortly before midnight, there was
every semblance OF a l~ynching. Three
times Claude Piersol was swung with
a rope around his neck from the
branch of Il big oak tree and was re-
leased only when a physician said 1t
would be dangerous to keep him sus-
pended any longer. He was uncon'
scious and sank in a limp heap on the
ground when he was released.
In the stockton jail were the five
other prisoners. They had been lock.
ed up by the mob, who assured them
that they would be taken in turn, and
terror seized them all.
The sheriff Of Greene county, VIII
Webb, had been unable to escape tbs
vigilantes of Springfield, the organiza
ton of which had been limited at ever
since little Lloyd's abduction. Jus
as he was about to cross the bridge
over a stream at the edge of Humans

been removed. He turned back to

road he ran into the mob, who tool

Cholera Morbus.

This is a very painful and
dangerous disease. In almost ev-
cry neighborhood someone has
died from it before medicine
could be obtained or a physician
summoned. The right way is to
have a bottle of Chamberlain's

the house so as to be prepared
for it. Mrs. Charles Enyeart,

Grayy Saves waste Eats.

Reports from Germany indi-
cate that the lack of fats con-
stitute one of the most serious
food shortages. Fats in this
country are becoming scarce and
DR.. Louise Stanley of the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture has
suggested that precautions be
taken to conserve the remaining
supply. The housewives troubles
will be amply repaid, because OF
all kinds are high, and if she
can save those which have been
wasted heretofore she will re-
duce the living expenses of the
household and at the same time
contribute to the country's food
supply.
Miss Stanley suggests gravy
as a means of utilizing fats that
are ordinarily wasted. Gravy
saves fat in two ways. In the
first place it enables one to use
the fat that is left in a vesse.
after meat is cooked. In case
there is too much for gravy al
one time, the clear upper por.
ton can be poured off and saw
ed for other use.
Gravy saves fat indirectly
since it diminishes the amour
of butter used. 1t also offers
means of spreading the flavor
of meat thereby reducing the a
mount of meat used. House.
wives who make gravy, fire.
quently notices decrease in the
meat and butter bills.
Gravy that is left over SHOULD
be saved for meatless meals anC

used with left over meats, tt
flavor vegetables, to add t
soups, or in various other ways

Sour Stomach.

This is a mild form of indiges-
ton. It is usually brought on by
eating too rapidly or too much
or of food not suited to your
digestive organs. If you will eat
slowly, masticate your food
thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you
will more than likely avoid the
sour stomach without taking
any medicine whatever. When
you have sour stomach take one
of Chamberlains Tablets to ait
digestion.

Save The Vegetable Seeds.

"NDtC 0N(AOH
This year vegetable seeds are
scarce and high. The University
of Missouri College of Agricult-
ure suggests conservation of
present supplies Of seeds as they
may be scarce the coming year.
The following points should be
OF interest to growers:
After the garden is planted
it is likely that many people in
the neighborhood could use to
great advantage surplus seeds
left over, especially in the case
of those kinds which are no long
er available on the market. The
prospective food supply could be
increased for this year if those
who are without seeds could be
supplied by others who happen
to have a surplus of any species.
Most seeds which are not
planted will keep over at least
one or more seasons. The fol-
lowing sorts usually retain their
vitality but a single year: on
ions, parsnips, parsley, celery,
and carrots. Most other varie-
ties will keep at least two years,
Peas, beans, sweet corn, cucum-
bers, melons and the gourd fam
lily generally retain their vital
ity five years or even more.
Seeds which are to be held
over for another years planting
should be kept dry and should
be protected from mice and wee.
vii. Frequently it is customary
to place them in a tight
jar, box, or other air tight re.
ceptacle. Seeds kept in this way
are likely to mold. Moisture
slowly given off from the seeds
cannot e7aporate, A better way
is to retain the seeds in theil
packages, put these in a clotF
sack and hang them up or place
them is a box covered on tot
with wire mosquito netting. TIL,
mosquito netting will keep GU
mice but will allow the seeds Il
dry and air out. They SHOULD
be kept in a dry place.
Weevils and other insects ma,
be kept out of seeds by the us,
of carbon bisulphide. Seed
should be treated once as 500
as the planting season is over
which will protect them fror
weevil during the summer. TIL
second treatment should be Civ
en- in the fall before-cold wealth
err comes on. To treat seeds wit
carbon bisulphide, put them in
jar, tub or other vessel whicl
can be covered tightly. Put i
about one tablespoonful of car
bon bisulphide for each 10 ga
Ions of space, in the enclosure
Allow the seeds to remain in tn
fumes of the carbon bisulphid
over night then take them on
and place again in dry storag
quarters.

BOURBON FARMING CONDITIONS

Crop conditions have not changed
very materially in this county in the
last week or two. The farmers have
been very busy with their mid-sum~
mer blowing, harvesting their wheat,
and giving attention to their to-
bacco and corn crops, also to the ex-
termination of weeds, which have p
habit of growing when other things
would be discouraged by conditions.
The harvesting of the wheat crop
has been the farmers principal work
in the past week. The acreage of the
cereal has been somewhat increased
this year, owing to so many failures
in recent years. Six weeks ago it
seemed that the failures of past years
would be repeated, but the improved
weather conditions have caused a
much better yield than was antici-
pated. The heads were full and
heavy, and the result was a little
above the average for several seasons
past.
A large per cent. of the tobaccooin
the fields in this county is exception
ally good, Notwithstanding it was
transplanted much later than usual.
owing to the shortage of plants and
to the cool weather. The plants
which have been set out are very
promising.
Corn, potatoes, rye and barley are
all looking WELL Rain is badly need
ed for all the crops as we'll as for the
gardens.
The acreage of food and feed crops
has been increased about twenty per
cent. in this county, in response to
the appeal of the Government for
larger production.

HOSPITAL BURNED.

The big division hospital of the
Illinois Central railroad, located at
Paducah, was destroyed by fire early
Tuesday morning, causing loss es-
timated at $175,000 and resulting in
the injury of two persons, one of
whom, Miss Meddie Massie, aged
twenty-five, a nurse, is believed to be
seriously hurt.
Mrs. James Derman, a patient who
had been undergoing an operation,
was being taken out of the building
when the stretcher bearers stumbled
and she was badly shaken up, suffer-
ing a relapse.
The origin of the fire is unknown
but, according to the night watch
man, it broke out following an ex-
plosion. An investigation is being
conducted to ascertain the cause.

NO BLANK SPACES TO BE ON
BALLOTS.

In answer to inquiries from Coun-
ty Clerks as to whether blank spaces
should be left on the August primary
ballots in cases where there are M
contestants, Attorney General Chas.
Morris has notified Clerks that it
was not necessary to leave the
spaces. AS to whether blank spaces
should be left for voters to write in
the names of candidates, Attorney
General Norris said that under the
primary law it was necessary for
candidates to qualify for an office
and for this reason there existed no
reason for the blank spaces to be
left on the ballot.
