STUDIED DRAFT FOR YEARS
Provost Marshal General Crowder
Well Prepared To Handle Select
i've Draft When Call Came.

Washington, July 13.--When the
call came to Provost General Enoch
Crowder to handle Uncle Sans big
selective draft he was ready because
he had spent his entire army career
in preparation.
Rep. Greene, Vermont, who, as
member Of the i.ouse military affairs
committee has come into intimate con-
tact with Gen. Crowder, tells how the
latter spent lifetime studying for
the big job he now holds.
when Gen. Crowder was a junior
lieutenant at an obscure army post in
Texas he CHANGED upon a copy of old
civil war draft regulations" Greene
said.
He read them over, first out of cur
iosity. Then he began to think how
those rules could have been made more
just and equitable.
Gradually he evolved his ideas of
how draft should be run and with the
idea came the conviction that some
day in this country there would be
the need of a great army and that this
army would be raised, not from volun-
teers, but by process of selection
from the total man power of the coun-
try.
Meanwhile Crowder was advancing
in the army step by step.
when the United States entered the
war Gen. Crowder was the one man
in the army who was ready to go be-
fore congress with a concrete sug-
gestion for the framing of selective
draft law"
Other members of the military com.
mittee say Crowder's suggestions
were written into the bill almost with
out change.

NO; THIS ONE IS NOT TRUE
A Trench Rumor That Germany Has
90 Million People by Having
Faxed Birth Statistics.
(By Reciprocal News ServiceD


London, July 16.-Those unofficial
census guessers of lively Middle West
cities-those statisticians of CONNER
cial clubs who take a city directory
and multiply its total of names by five
to get local pOpulatiOns-wOuld be en-
phaticalIy convinced of the degener-
acy of the German government if they
could believe this story.
A Tommy has just brought tidings
to London, which he got in the trench
area from a poilu, which would remove
any public mystery that has cloaked
Hun man-pOwer,-if it were true.
1t appears that the kaiser has not
discovered the formula of resurrec-
ton. as had been suspected in some
quarters.
THE dirty bOchc has been lying
about his birth rate all these years"
declared Tommy angrily. Here
we've been KILN 'em and KILN 'em
for four years, and we might ave 'ad
the job over and done with if we 'ad
been 'onestly told the size of it. We
would ave been much more lively
about it.
But the bochc as 80 million of
people instead of the 6S million he
reported, the dirty liar. 'ad it
straight from French chaser who 'ad
it from sergeant who talked with a
friendly prisoner. The kaiser as
been 'olding out about 'alf is births
every year-just like blooming own
er of lot of cattle. Did you ever
ear anything so rotten?"
This is only one of the 57,OOO,OOO
varieties of rumors that bounce along
the front when it is quiet but nery-
ously alert. The Tommy, when told
that the Allied Intelligence depart.
ments knew exactly how many men
Germany has had and has left, and
that the figures are quiet encouraging,
was less Inclined to feel he had been
imposed upon.

SAVE SEED WHEAT
FARMERS SHOULD RETAIN SUP.
PLY FOR RESEEDlNG.

Unless care is exercised, the supply
of seed wheat is going to be short in
Mahaska county next year.
There is now in some townships not

ing purposes and help from other
townships will be required to furnish
any increased acreage this fall. Seed
must be supplied from adjoining town
ships.
Not alone is this true of Mahaska
county but some of the counties in
the state will call upon their neigh
bors for supply of seed. Farmers will
make money by holding their winter
wheat for seed.
/. N. Taylor, acting county agent
was in township Thursday and devel;
oped the condition that there was not
enough winter wheat in the district
to re-seed Mr. Taylor went into Ced.
ar township Friday afternoon, where
he knew of some bio fields of grain.
He located total of 1888 acres of ex.
ira quality winter crop wheat most of

Most of the grain raisers had plan,

their product as the government had
fixed the price nothing would be gain,
ed by holding for future quotations
The grain for the most part will be
shipped from near by elevators.
A better price will be paid for the
wheat for seed than to dispose of ii
on the market at the government
price.
Mr.. Taylor has been advised by
state authority to make provision for
the next years seeding and if enough
of the local crop is retained for seed
Mahaska county can be independent

Mr.. Taylor says it's a pity the Kai
ser could not get a glimpse of Iowa al

arrival of our troops in France for
