MAY KEEP MEN
TO TILL. FARMS YET
Major Fitzpatrick at Madison Listens
to the Complaint of Kenosha
County Against the Draft.

Major Fitzpatrick of Madison, in
charge of the Wisconsin draft, spent
much of his time on Monday afternoon
listening to presentation of the com
plants from Kenosha county against
the working of the draft law. The
county is calling many men from the
farms for army service and District At
torney Peter Fisher, Jr., on Monday
presented the facts to the Major. No
formal agreement was reached, but it is
thought that half a dozen men most
needed on the farms for the planting
season will be placed in the list of al
ternates and that these men will be
given some time to get the spring
farm work cleaned up before they are
called for actual service. just as soon
as it is possible to get the men back
under the furlough provision there will
be better conditions on the farms,
but it may be a month before this plan
can be worked out.

his party and the Sim Fein, whose
policy he declared to be wrong and
foolish and bound to end in disaster"

at the outbreak of the war, that the
cause Of the allies is the cause of
freedom"
IN an appeal to the American peo-
pie Mr.. Dillon said that the Sim Fefn
had been supplied with unlimited
financial resources from New York,
and he urgently asked all those Of
Irish blood in the United States to
support his party as against the Sim
Fein.

Statement Says Wherever Possible
Federal Directors viii Be Appoint
ed From Among Operating Of
ficers of Property.

Washington, May 22-Every rail-
road president in the United States was
relieved from active duty as executive
manager Of his road by Director Gen
eral McAdoO. He will appoint fed
pral director for each road responsible
only to the railroad administration.
In many cases the president of the
yoad may be named federal director.
New Operating Districts.
AS another step in the reorganiza-
ton of railroad management the di-
rector general ordered the creation of
two operating districts--the Allegheny
region, consisting Of the principal
trunk lines east Of Pittsburgh, eXclud-
Ing the New York Central, managed by
y. Fl. Markham, now regional director
for the South, and the Pocahontas dis
trict, consisting Of the East and West
trunk lines terminating at Hampton
Roads.
McAdoo's Statement.
TIE following statement was issued
by Director General McAdoo:
Sin view Of the direct responsibility
for the operation of the railroads of
the country placed upon Director Gen
eral McAdoo by the act Of congress,
and ~ the proclamations of the presi-
dent, he has been unable to escape the
conclusion that it will be advisable to
place in direct charge Of each prop
erty for operating purposes a repre-
sentative to be known as the federal
manager who will report to the re-
giona director,
Will Choose Old Officers.
Gas far as practicable this federal
manager viii be chosen from the OPP
Grating officers of the particular prop
erty who are entirely familiar with its
employees and it's conditions.
Except so far as may be necessary
to meet the emergency conditions
which compel the government to take
control of the railroads, the federal
manager Of each railroad will en-
deavor to avail himself to the fullest
extent Of the advantages incident to
III operations Of the particular rail
road as unit and the preservation OF
us identity.
Stockholders Safeguarded.
'"rhis is believed to be of essential
Importance, not only to secure the
best results during the period Of gov
ernment control, but also to give the
greatest degree OF reinsurance to the
officers and employees that the rail
road careers upon which they have en-
tered will not be narrowed, but if any
thing, will be broadened, and to give
the greatest possible reinsurance to
the stockholders that their just inter
osts in the properties will be respected
md that nothing will be needlessly done
to have even the appearance of ina
pairing their just rights"

Some of the saloon men seem to
think that eliminating of bottle sell
ing is not in strict keeping with license
are lot of other things along the
same line. For instance, opening sa-
looms on Sunday, selling to intoxicated
persons, permitting gambling and a lot
more. Now if we must go by the
book it is probable that every saloon
license in the town would be revoked
before six o'clock.

Decreased Acreage Talk
All Bunk, Says TragIiO

That the talk about farmers of the
galley cutting down their acreage be-
cause they fear a shortage of labor is
all bunk, is the opinion of Paul J.
Traglio, proprietor of the Farmers
Warehouse. "Ill bet on new hat,
a suit of clothes, or $780," said Mr..
Traglio this morning, "that there will
be fully one-fourth greater acreage
sown to grain and other crops this
year than there was last I know how
much seed the farmers have bought this
year, and how much they bought last
year"
A prominent farmer living east of
town. on the Silverton road, here en-.
tered the conversation with even
stronger statement He said he would
be willing to wager that there was
100 per cent more grain sOwn in the
valley right now than there was last
year at this time 'And the farmers
are not all through sowing yet" he
added, for many of them are just now
sowing their oats and some haven It
begun
The speaker added that nearly all
the farmers of his neighborhood have
sown wheat this year, rather than
other grains or crops. "I know one
man," he said "who has farm of
23O acres of tillable soil, and he has
20 acres sown to wheat. That is
fair example of the way the farmers
are cutting down ON their acreage"
While the o11aStion of Short>Se of
labor is really serious matter, yet
the farmers of the valley are not de-
creasing their acreage for fear they
may not be able to get their crops
harvested, but on the contrary are sow
ing more wheat than ever. along with
other grains.

An appeal from the Oregon Potatoe
Dealers association has been received by
the Public Service commission, asking
that the state establish an inspection on
onions ,and create grades, as has been
done with other produce. The letter re-
ceived this morning calls attention to
the fact that Oregon produces 300 cars
of onions yearly, there being thous-
and acres planted, and that the value
of the crop for last year was $615,000.
This calls for state inspection, the asos-
citation believes. The matter will be con-
sidered at once by the commission, it is
stated.
