MEN WILL BE- SUBMITTED
TO PHYSICAL TEST TODAY
First Lot OF New Draftees VIII BE
Given An Inspection This Morn
ing at Government building
Seventy Ordered In.

Examinations of the physical con-
dition of seventy of the young men
who registered for military service
last June will begin this morning at
8 o'clock at the Federal building. All
of the young men are expected to be
on hand on time and the examiners
hope to finish their work before noon
If nothing unforeseen developes.
No new orders on the physical eX-
animation of registrants have been
received by the Mason County Board
and the men reporting this morning
will be given the same sort of test
given all other men who have been
accepted for the service.
The Board members, who registered
these young men, are of the opinion
that more than ninety per cent. of the
men will pass as physically fit with
rating of above ninety per cent. They
are all strong young fellows who have
no dependent and no ties to hold them
at home. The majority of the men are
anxious to see service and will likely
be called upon to enter training dur
ing the present month.
Seventy more of these youngsters
will be given their examination to-
morrow.

CONTROL OF WIRES PASS
INTO GOVERNMENT HANDS
National Government Took Complete
Management Of the Telephones
and Telegraphs Over Last
Night ut Midnight.

The complete control of all tele-
graph and telephone lines in the
country passed out of the hands of
the owning companies into the hands
of the national government last night
and all employees of the telegraph
and telephone companies in Maysville
this morning went to work for Uncle
Sam.
So far as is known here there will
be no visible change. The managers
of the Maysville Telephone Company,
Western-Union Telegraph Company
and Postal Telegraph and Cable Com
pany have recently received instruc-
tions from their superiors that the
Federal government would be boss af-
ter midnight last night but there is
no change made so far in the manage
ment of the business of the compan-
les and no change has been suggested
One announcement made unoflic-
tally yesterday that was very good
news to the telegraph operators was
to the effect that in the very near flu
ture the government would make
them an increase in salary of twenty
per cent. but no other changes even
in the near future have been suggest
ed.
Various sorts of reports have been
in circulation, one being that the tele-
graph Offices would be moved to the
Postoffice but 1t is pointed out that
these reports appear on the face of
them impracticable and are not to be
believed unless later officially an
nounced.

.FLEMINGSBURG
JUNCTION DEPOT
IS ROBBED
Young Thief Is Captured Mt COwan-
Had Taken Many Railroad
Tickets.

The Flemingsburg Times-Democrat
says
About Wednesday last at George
town the SHOW" which was here on
Saturday last hired a young man for
service in some capacity. Sunday
morning at this place the manager
discharged him. The young man, or
boy, for he claims he was born 0c-
tober 4, 1900, left here some time Sun
day afternoon and turned up at Elem
ingsburg Junction about dark that
evening. He was seen loafng about
the depot until dark. Someone had
suitcase to come in on the 4;16 train
from Maysvllle and for some reason 1t
was not claimed, but remained outside
the depot. Matthew bearing, who lives
not far from the depot concluded that
he would go over about dark and put
the suitcase in a safe place, but on
approaching the depot found the suit
case gone and the young man inside
the ticket Office He at once called
Sammie Scruggs to come, that man
was robbing the depot. When they
approached the front the robber
jumped out of back window, and
just as he landed bearing threw
rock at him, but did not stop him He
ran across the back lot and into the
field and was lost sight of in the dark
ness. Following him up, Mr.. bearing
found several railroad tickets from
Flemingsburg Junction to Paris, scat
tered along his line of flight. AS soon
as possible word was given to the
railroad poole of the robbery, and the
machinery Of the law was set in mo-
ton to capture him. He was seen
along the road Monday morning. and
finally Sheriff Hart and Marshal Van
Arsdell caught him at Cowan and
lodged him in Jail here. Tuesday
morning Matthew bearing came in
and positively identified him as the
man, besides which, one of the stolen
tickets was found on his person. He
gave his name as Henry Barnes, on
the date named above, though there is
reason for saying that was not his
name. He has a sister who is a Red
Cross nurse In New York, and
brother who is now fighting for his
country in France. The authorities
are holding him pending advices from
his sister and he will either go to the
Reform School or enlist in the U. S.
Navy, and we should prefer the latter.

From the Extension Division of the
University Of Wisconsin.
n. E. pEARHoLr.. M D.. DIRECTOR

On April b, 1917, America entered
the world war. The Children's Bureau
of the Federal Government has declared
that the "Children's Year" shall begin
on the same day of the same month in
the year 1918. During the twelve
months which follow, the Bureau is re-
solved that the lives of 100000 children
shall be saved for the nation. Public
health authorities agree that half the
deaths of young children, and enumer
able defects which hamper them
throughout life. are easily preventable.
The Draft Boards examinations dis
closed thousands of serious physical de-
fects which could have been readily
corrected in childhood.
In England, because economic depres-
sion followed on the absence of the
breadwinner, because the mother was
overburdened with new possibilities,
because public health nurses were called
to war duty, the infant mortality rate
during the first year of the war rose
tremendously. England realized that
her loss would be irreparable if, while
her men we're dying in France her
babies died at home. Public and pri
vate effort combined to fight down the
terrible rate AT the end Of the second
year of the war, England's infant NOR
@,,1; IN hon ID
in peace times.
To the State Councils Of Defense and
their local branches, the Children s
Bureau has entrusted the task of Or
ganizing forces to act in the interests of
the children. The campaign will begin
on April sixth with nation wide
weighing and measuring of children
under school age. Where examining
stations are established, the records will
be filled out by trained nurses and
physicians. In other places, parents
are asked 70 fill out the cards which
will be furnished by the National Chill
dren's Bureau. With this data as a
basis, the Children's Bureau will super
intend calling into activity those agen
cies which have proved their value in
preserving child life.
Your community will be called upon
to do it's share. To every state, a quota
of lives to be saved has been assigned.
After calling attention to Minnesota,
where the rate is the lowest in the
United States, and to New Zealand,
where the rate is lower still, the Chill
dren's Bureau asks, why should Min
nesota not enter the race with New
Zealand?" We of Wisconsin must not
allow this glorious business of saving
New Zealand and Minnesota.
