of the President of the United States,
dated April 10 1918, requiring all
German Alien Females to register at

United States and pursuant to in
structions received from the Post
master General Albert S. Burleson,
designating me as Chief Registrar

zens. This includes any American
woman who has married a German
alien and who is still living and her
female children of IA years of age or
older, unless born in the United States

ANOTHER FRAME-UP EXPOSED

While returning from st. Louis
Sunday The Times editor had the
pleasure of enjoying the company Of
Reputy State Mine Inspector, R. c.
Detchmondy, of Flat River, for a
greater part of the trip. Mr.. Detch-
mondy was returning home from st.
Louis, where he had been called, in
company with State Mine Inspector
George Hill, of Bcvicr, to inspect and
report on the actual conditions in re-
gard to the alleged mining of fire
clay in Forest Park. Governor Gard
ner had taken hold of the matter, by
reason of the great space that had
been given to the matter by different
St. Louis papers, and had requested
the aforementioned mine inspectors
to make a thorough examination OF
conditions there and report to him.
Mr.. Detchmondy was pleased to
report that the whole thing, about
which said papers had been making
such a row, was nothing more than
a newspaper canard, absolutely void
of facts to support the claims that
have been So freely made by them.
The charge that has been so gener-
ously made by such papers was that
Tony Stever, president of the High
land Fire Clay Co., was undermining
Forest Park in the pursuit of fire
clay for his plant. Messrs. Hill and
Detchmondy had survey made, as
well as going into a minute examina'
ton of Tony Stevens mine, and sub
mitted their report to the Governor
which states that such mining, at the
nearest point to the park, is five feet
away, and that the mining company
would have a perfect right to extract
that additional five feet of fire clay
that absolutely no damage would be
sustained to the park, and that it was
Tony Stevens right and privilege te
mine exactly up to the border line OF
the park.
Upon presentation of the report Of
the mine inspectors to the papers
some of them made brief statements
that their previous reports on this
matter were in error. The whole
matter seems to have resolved Itself
into grudge that some of those pa
pers had against Mr.. Stever.

WHEAT CROP NEAR RECORD;
931, 900, 900 BUSHELS, FORECAST

Washington, June 8.--Production Of
o31 100000 bushels of wheat this
year, second in size to the greatest
crop in the history CT the United
States, was forecast today by the
Department of Agriculture from June
conditions. The winter wheat
crop was estimated at 587,000,OO0
bushels, and the spring wheat pro-
duqtion at 344,000,00O bushels.
Winter wheat condition was 1873
per cent of normal; spring wheat con-
dition was 95.2 and the acreage 22,-
489 900.
Production of oats was forecast at
500, 10000 bushels, the acreage A.
ATE, 900 and the condition 93.2.
Barley production, 235, 900, 900 bush
els; acreage, 9,10S,000, and condition
90.5.
Rye production, s1,O00,OOO bushels;
condition, 1886.
Hay production, 1O7,0O0,O00 tons;
condition, $50; pasture condition,
92.5.
Apple production, 2O3,OOO,OOO BUSH
els; condition, 69.S.
Peach production, 42,900,O00 bush
els: condition, $40.
Means Much in War.
Interest here today conferred in the
wheat crop forecast, as wheat is an
essential factor in the feeding of the
armies of the United States and the
Allies and the civilian populations.
With American people using the
least amount of wheat possible and
sending to Europe every bit they can
spare, the size of this years crop de-
termines the extent to which wheat
will be available for home use until
the 1919 harvest. The government
had hoped for billion bushel crop,
but conditions for winter wheat have
not been the best. Almost ideal
weather conditions, however, have
prevailed during much of the spring
growing season.
Crop Top-Notcher.
A forecast of 1859 900 bushels of
winter wheat was made last month
from conditions existing May /, when
the report showed the plant to be
1914 per cent of normal. Last year
on June it was 70.9 and the crop was
41S,000, 900 bushels, while the ten
year average condition is S0.8 and the
production average 552,000,000 bush
els.
Spring wheat production last year
was 233,000,000 bushels and the con-
dition on June / was 91.6, while the
ten-year average is 257,000,0O0 bush
els and the condition 1871. Last
years acreage was 1851 900 acres.

"The badly needed increased school
revenues cannot come this year
through increased valuations, except
where local authorities see to it that
4 property is listed for taxation.
Other means must be found to pre-
serve the efficiency of the public
schools. Many schools should be
closed under the provisions of Section
10776, R. S. Mo-, 1909, and the chill
dren sent to the nearest adjoining dis
trict. No doubt many rooms in town
schools can be combined. A special
building fund should be voted to take
care of all repairs, ETC., and the
teachers and incidental funds be re-
lieved to that extent" -Uel w. Lam

This is mild form of indigestion.
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, 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 stem-

ENLISTED IN THE NAVY

John S. AuBuchon, son. of Tom Au-
Buchon, left st. Louis Saturday night,
after being enlisted as a second-class
seaman. He arrived the following day
at the Puget Sound Naval Training
Station, near Chicago, which is the
largest of its kind in the world.
Before leaving st. Louis, Mr.. Au-
Buchon had learned much of the life
he will have, the excellent food, and
other advantages the Navy offers,
such as the best pay of any fighters
in the world, and unusual opportunity
for promotion. One man in every
three becomes an officer.
Training at Great Lakes.
His first training will be three
weeks valuable instruction in pre-
serving and up-building the health.
Here the newly enlisted men are
laugh also to care for their clothes,
and keep a neat appearance. These
three weeks are lifelong benefit to
any man, and it makes them eager to
begin further training for the work
for which they enlisted.
Off to different parts of the inn
mense camps they go, for training as
seamen, runners, electricians, car
penters, or any of the 80 trades now
open for enlistment during the war
only.
Navy Pay sthe Highest.
The lowest pay of any man at the
start, is equal to 500 a month in
civilian life. To men of trades, ex.
traordinary opportunities and extra
pay are offered. Others are paid well
while they are taught a trade. 1t is
not unusual for enlisted men to re-
ceive $145.70 month after serving

Navy Open to Men of Draft Age.

Draft men may enlist now in the
Navy, after obtaining written per-
mission from their draft boards. Be-
cause of the changed situation in Eu-

called soon. Glass l draft men, not
in the current call, have right now
what is probably their only chance TO
enlist in the Navy, before being called
in to the Army.
Postmaster Smith receives enlist
ments for the Navy. He is prepared
to give full information on life in the
Navy, and will furnish free transport
tation to those who decide to enlist
