FARMERS TO BE PUT
IN DEFERRED CLASS
Agriculture To Rate With Absolute
Dependency Under The New
Draft Law Rules

Under the new Selective Service law
three broad grounds are provided,
upon which a registrant may make a
valid claim for deferred classification.
The first is that of dependency, the
next that of necessary industrial oc-
cupation, and the last is that of agri-
cultural occupation.
The original draft law left the
status of the necessary farmer and his
labor, both skilled and unskilled, very
much in doubt Everybody agreed,
even the rigid militarists, that farming
must go on uninterFuptedly; that rot
only the military establishment and
civilian population of this country
but the armies and civilians of our
Allies had to be fed by American pro-
ducers, and that the worst disaster
that could oyertake the Allied cause
would be that forced upon it by star
-vation conditions.
And yet no definite measures were
taken to protect farm labor. The War
Department seemed to assume that
the farmer would or could get along
someway; that most foodstuffs would
grow whether cultivated on not and
that it would look too much like
"class" discrimination to give the pro-
ducing farmer an honorable position
behind the firinfi line where he might
contribute as vitality to the success of
the war as the munitions maker, or
the ship builder or any other neces-
sary worker.

MERCHANTS VICTIMS
OF NIGHT ROBBERY
Store of Messrs. Strange And
White Broken Into And Rob-
bed Of Mems Apparel
POLICE ARE ON THE TRAIL

Although on the trail of the robber
or robbers who broke into the store of
-Messrs Strange and White, mems
furnishings, at an early hour yester-
day morning, the thief has eluded pol
ice vigilance up to the present time.
The local custodians of the law.
however, think they have a clue
which they will follow and which
promises the apprehension of the
guilty party.
About 130, yesterday morning. Mr..
Henry Zeller, whose residence on
Main street adjoins that of the store
robbed, was awakened by the barking
of his dogs.
1t is supposed this barking was oc-
casioned by the robber or robbers of
the store. They effected an entrance
through rear second story of the
store, by crossing the rear lot of the
Colonial Theatre, upon which both the
Zeller home and the store of Strange
and White border at the rear. Climb
ing over the chicken coop of Mr.. Eel
ler's yard, they were obliged to pass
over a pile of coal that belongs to the
Colonial Theatre, and on top of which
were numerous cans of water, none of
which was disturbed.
A long ladder that was in the yard
between the theatre and the store was
placed against the building. The thief
climbed the ladder, and with a per-
fectly new chisel, pried open a sec
ond story window, entering in this
manner. The police have the new
chisel, which was left behind.
A rough estimate gives the amount
OF goods stolen to be between SITS and
5000. Among the articles stolen are
the following: A dress suit case: II
pairs mems silk hose, fifteen mems
silk shirts, navy blue sweater, one
coat, one pair trousers, four mems
belts, and two suits of clothes, valued
at $50 each. An old pair of shoes was
left behind, and at first, the police au-
thorities believed they had clue to
the robber, if the shoes would fit the
colored boy, Roland Jackson, whom
they arrested yesterday afternoon for
burglarizing the home OF David An
derson on College avenue. but the
shoes were not a fit
A coincidence in the robbery is the
fact that all the goods taken were of
small size, the silk shirts being size
IA. Several incidents connected with
the robbery. are expected to aid the
police. and DEVELOPMENTS are hourly
anticipated.

Quoted BY Local Food Admin
istrator, Mr.. r. P. Melvin
MILK PRICES ARE VARIED

At the hearing this morning on the
question of milk prices in this COM
munity conducted by Mr. Ridgely P.
Melvin, County Food Administrator.
the question was thoroughly gone into
and statements taken down in short
hand, so as to make up complete
record in the matter.
Mr. Henry c. Whiteford, County
Agricultural Agent, was present and
gave much light on the subject. One
of the immediate results of the inves-
tigation and hearing was the elimina-
ton of all charges above 20c per
quart One of the witnesses testified
that while 22c had been charged, upon
the receipt of the notice of today's
hearing, the price had been voluntari-
ly lowered to zoe. One of the other
ing 22c, but this also will be discon-
tinued through instructions from the
Food Administrator.
The dairymen will submit within the
next few days .itemized statements
going into the cost of production and
delivery of milk in Annapolis, and
from these statements and the testi-
mony given today and other informa-
ton gotten in hand by the Food Ad-
ministrator. final ruling will be an
nounced at an early date.
1t was brought out at the hearing
that some of the dairymen are charg-
ing Ice quart for milk while others
have charged as high as zoe quart,
and that some storekeepers sell it at
&c advance over the wholesale price to
them, while other dealers are selling
at an advance of &c.
1t is for the purpose of standardiz-
ing the price of milk, as far as possi-
bic, that the present inquiry is being
made, so as to give fair treatment to
all concerned.

 weeks ago she gave up her profes-
 sional career.
