sfLos TO HELP WtW TIE
WAR.

Build silos and help defeat the
German submarines now attack
ing supply ships:
England and France are face
to face with a serious shortage
of feeds. Horses and COWS are
to be placed on rations in Eng
land.
This means that America will
be called upon to supply the
allied countries with more
meats.
Silos are the best means OF
conserving our stock feeds. Now
Ia the time to build them. The
size Of the silo should deepnd
upon the number Of cattle to be
fed. The COW or steer during
the winter feeding period con-
sumes about four tons OF sill
age. From this It Is easy to de-
tegmine how large to make the
silo.

board OF exemption yesterday. when
James Chanconas. young Greek. for
merry employed at John Dillis' Greek
restaurant. North Main street. made
application TO be relieved from army
service on the ground that he is an
alien
He admitted that he had taken out
his first naturalization papers, de-
caring his intention to become an
American citizen, but that he had had
no opportunity to complete the papers
and was therefore not yet an Ameri-
can citizen. He enjoyed none of the
rights OF fun fedged American citi-
zen. he declared, and thought that
he should not be drafted to fight for
a country of which he was not a
citizen
Chanconas was told that he might
lay his first case before the Greek
consul at Washington
Chanconas on January married q
Frederick county girl and he@ claim
ed exemption on this ground. Both
claims were denied and unless the
local boards ruling is overruled ne
