AGES 20 70 40 NOW FAVORED.
Amendment to Bill Revised to Meet
Pleas Of Directors.

Washington, June 26.-Extension OF
the draft ages above and below the
existing limits Of 81 to 81 years was
discussed at length in the senate dur
ing consideration OF an amendment by
Senator Fall, New Mexico. to the s12,-
900. 600. 900 army appropriation bill to
substitute IS years as tine minimum
and IS years as the maximum.
During the discussion the>senator
revised the amendment, making the
ages 20 to 40 and eliminating Pro-
vision that youths under p should not
be called into active service.
Disposal Of the amendment and a
substitute by Senator Hitchcock, Ne
braska, went over until today, with
sentiment in. the senate apparently
evenly divided.
Meantime some senators believed an
expression might come from the ad-
ministration, particularly in view Of
a report circulated at the capitol yes
terday that President Wilson opposes
any change in the age limits and de-
plores agitation for their extension at
this time.
The Fall amendment was vigorous
ly supported by Senator Chamberlain,
Oregon. chairman of the military COM
mittee( and Senators Fall. Wadsworth.
New York; ,Cummins. Iowa; Reed,
Missouri, and others.
Opposition was voiced by Senators
Thomas. Colorado; Mcclellan, Tennes-
see, land Kirby, Arkansas. all demo-
cratic members Of the military COM
mittee, while several other senators
favored raising the maximum draft
age, but opposed lowering the min
imun.
Senator Eitchcock's substitute
amendment fixes the age limits at 90
and 80 and provides that citizens of
the allied countries resident in Amer
lea shall be subject to draft and that
nationals Of neutral countries who
claim exemption shall be disbarred
from American citizenship.
Imperative and immediate necessity
for an increase of Americas man
power in the war was the principal
argument Of those favoring the amend
ment, while opponents based their Oh
jections principally on the contention
that there are sufficient men now
available. 1t was freely predicted Glass
l would soon be exhausted.
Extension Of the Iron ring" around
Germany by sending American SOL
diers to Russia, Italy, the Balkans AMI
Egypt and declaration of war on Bull
garia and Turkey also was urged

Chicago, June 26.-Corn-The mar<i

Of a better cash demand, especially
from the east, and the confirmation in
the weekly government crop summarv
of considerable damage by frost in the
lowlands Of northern Indiana and
southern Michigan. 1t is generally be-
lieved, however, that the heart pf
much Of the frosted grain is alive and
the corn will mature if the weather in
the fall remains favorable. Further
rain fol in parts OF the belt and the
immediate forecast is for fair and cool

Oats--Oats were higher with cora
and on damage reports as shown by
the weekly crop summary. Kansas and

less satisfactory than of late. Export

He Wept When Reproved.

The Democrat concludes this week
to omit the full censure and public
ity which many deem Otto Hemling
deserves as public official and a
citizen. We gave his disloyal atti-
tude rather full attention heretofore
which did not provoke any apparent
humility or reform on his part! But
instead he has kept on gaining a
stronger reputation for everything
that was not patriotic and helpful to
this government in its great crisis,
and last Sunday afternoon the sorry
spectacle was seen of Allamakee's
present member of the state legisla-
ture being summoned before the

Remember this:

Remember this:
When Abraham Lincoln was
young man he ran for the legislature
in Illinois, and was badly swamped.
He next entered business, failed,
and spent seventeen years of his life
paying up the debts of worthless
partner.
He was in love with beautiful
Young woman to whom he became
engaged-then she died.
Later he married woman who
was a constant burden to him.
Entering politics again, he ran
for Congress and was badly defeated.
He then tried to get an appoint
ment to the United States land Of
flee but failed.
He became candidate Tor the
United States Senate, and was badly
defeated.
In 1856 he became candidate Tor
the Vice-Presidency and was again
defeated.
In 1858 he was defeated by
Douglas.
One failure after another-bad
failures-great setbacks. In the face
of all this he eventually became one
of the country's greatest men, II not
the greatest.
When you think of series OF
setbacks like this, doesn't 1t make
YOU feel kind of small to become dis
couraged, just because you think you
are having hard time IN lie

His attitude before that body is
best expressed by the word kane

he had said and done nothing, fol-

weeping and lamentations on his
part, the Council dismissed Otto on
his promise to henceforth walk the
straight and narrow path and
obediently uphold the cause of free

zeal and feryor for change. The

THE COST OF INAocURAcY.
Person Beginning New Job Should
Remember First Requirement
Is Not Speed

A business man was speaking the
other day of the difficulties he had
to meet created by the inaccuracy Of
his helpers. He was sending out
material to large mailing list, and
depended upon having his mail mat
ter accurately addressed. He had
found more than the usual amount
of trouble of late, owing to scarcity
of help. AS result, almost every
day there was failure to address
his matter correctly. This entailed
kicks from customers, and lot of
bother to the rest of his help.
Wy SIti only takes a minute to make a
mistake, but it may take the time Of
several people for an hour to dis
/ cover the difficulty and remedy it..
No business can run smoothly unless
accurate work is done, and few
errors will set whole Office in tur-
moil.
Probably the novices who are re-
sponsible for the errors would say
they were doing the best they can.
Very likely they are ratified in doing
unaccustomed work and lose their
heads. I
A person beginning new job of
work should remember that the first
requirement is not speed. The first
thing is to get everything right and
straight. A habit of order is help.
A secretary who keeps her desk all
Uttered with a lot of different papers
soon becomes confused, and her
material gets mixed up. She has
to spend lot of time rummaging in
the turmoil, and then to make up for
lost time she hurries through her
work without verifcation. The efic-
lent clerical worker keeps everything
carefully sorted out and classified.
1t takes concentration to be accur-
ate. If people are ever to amount
to anything in business, they must
put their minds strictly on their
work, and leave their pleasures and
outside pursuits to be attended to
outside of business hours.

Notable Men EpiIeptic.

John Bunyan's epileptic character
istics were well marked. julius Gaze
sar, Peter the Great, Wellington and
Alexander the Great were sufferers,
and the strong assertion is made that
Napoleon was also subject to its men
tai control. Lord Byron was a notable
epileptic, as was Balzac and the COM
posers Mozart and Mendelssohn. JeaE
Jacques Rousseau was esteemed as
one Of the class, and even claim Is
lodged that Thackeray was victim OF
the disease. These are but few OF
hundreds OF noteworthy instances In
the annals Of the human race.

Where Mary Got the Cheese.

Too late the hostess discovered
that there was no cheese in the
lhouse. A vegetarian who made 1t
the principal article of his diet was
to dine as her guest. Great was her
relief when the servant appeared at
the table with plate of cheese and
placed it beside the guest. Dinner
over and the guest departed, she
sought an explanation of the mir
acle.
Mary, where did you get that
cheese in such hurry?
Why, ma'am emptied every rat
trap In the house.
