THE FIRST AUGUST
CALL IS ISSUED
12,14s MEN ARE SUMMONED FOR
TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
WILL REACH CLASS TWO MEN
lowa's Quota Will Exhaust Class One
and Include 1000 of Second
Class-Mahaska Quota is
Cut Down.

Washington, July 13.-Provost Mar
shall General Crowder today issued
the first of the August draft calls,
summoning twelve thousand one hun
dred and forty-three men for special
technical education, to start for
schools between August / and %.
OF this call, 1899 are white and
154 negroes. 1t is contemplated to
call approximately thirty thousand
men during August.
Will Hit Iowa Hard.
Des Moines, July 13.-Class 2 men
probably will be taken from Iowa in
the August calls unless other states
have larger percentages of class ! men
than has this state.
This was the opinion expressed to-
day by Adjutant General Guy +. Lo-
gan, when he said that after the July
call for this state is filed Iowa will
have but one thousand five hundred
and fifty-four class / men of the 1917
registration class.
Two August calls which came in to-
day reduced the above number to two
hundred and fifty-four and after de-
Quoting those who have enlisted and
those given deferred classifications,
General Logan believes that there will
not be more than eleven hundred of
class ! men.
1000 From Class Two.
Iowa's share of the three hundred
thousand men whom Crowder has an
nounced will be called in August will
be approximately eight thousand,
which will necessitate taking at least
seven thousand from class 2.
The August calls which arrived to-
day were for eight hundred whites to
report at Jefferson Barracks during
the five day period beginning August
5, and five hundred more with gram
mar school education TO report for
auto mechanics for the FIVE day period
beginning August 18th
Mahaska Quota Cut Down.
Des Moine,s July 13.-In rear
rangement of the draft quotas made
necessary by the discovery of an error
in the call sent from Washington, the
number of men to be sent to Camp
Pike from Mahaska county on July %
has been cut down from 158 to 1875.
The former number, 1853. is all the
men left in class l in the county, and
under the first call this number be.
came confused with the quota to be
called
incidentally, the figures furnished
by the local boards show that the to-
tai number of class l men in Iowa
available for immediate service prior
to the filling of this large call of July
% aggregate 1886 men. Deducting
the 1907 men going into the service
during the five-day period, it still
leaves 1919 men, which is sufficient
to fill the call for 1896 men going to
Camp Forrest, Ca, during the three
day period beginning July 20 and still
leave 1854 available class / men.

German timidity before American
pistol fighters armed with American
.45-caliber automatic pistols has
brought about a change in the equip
ment Of the American Expeditionary
forces by the war department and the
ordnance department is rushing pro-
ductiOn Of these weapons. About 5000
are turned out daily and production is
increasing. The impression exists that
q shot from an American As takes
man out of action completely. Men
hit f:1m the smaller German pistols
frequently continue in action effec-
lively. The As caliber was adopted
by the United States army in 1911.
Despite the heavy increased demand
for these pistols the ammunition
branch Of the ordnance department
has effected a saving during the past
two calendar months Of nearly 2,0O0,-
600, mostly on small-arms ammunition.
The total savings by the ordnance
department for these two months
through salvage, waste prevention and
the utilization or sale Of discarded ma
terials have aggregated $S,757, OPS.
Cost of Vickers machine guns has been
reduced S32235 each; Colt machine
guns, $2S4.16 each; Lewis machine
guns, 500 each. Government rifles
now cost $22 each, reduction of $1S
each.

Ensign Stephen Potter. United
States Naval Reserve force, killed In
action with German planes April "a
last, was the first American naval avi-
ator to shoot down and destroy Ger
man seaplane, according to a navy de-
partment statement.
The report states that on March 10,
1918, a lOng-dlstance reconnaissance
of the German coast was made by
large American flying boats operating
from British Royal Air force station.
Ensign Potter was one of two Ameri-
can naval aviators accompanying this
expedition and Potter was successful
in shooting down a German seaplane
which attacked the reconnaissance for.
nation. A second enemy seaplane
found safety in running away.
POtter's death reflects credit on his
courage. He was killed in fight with
seven enemy single-seaters. He was
second pilot to British air force cap
tain, who was with him when he shot
down the German plane in March.
Two British planes had flown to a
point six miles from Hinder light.
when two enemy planes headed toward
them. The British planes closed on
the nearest German and opened fire.
Two more hostile planes then appeared
overhead and attacked vigorously
while three other enemy planes passed
astern. The two British planes dived
and speeded westward under continu-
Gus volleys from the rear. One of the
Germans disappeared.
OF the seven Germans in action four
were attacking Potter, who fell behind
his companion and began to zigzag.
Potter lodged, but was broadside to
all the enemy machines and under
their fire only so feet from the water.
His companion, $50 feet above, saw
Potter's machine burst into flame,
come part of the way under control,
then crash on the port wing tip. Pot
ter was seen last on the surface Of the
water amid flames, which turned sud-
denly to huge cloud of smoke. When
the pail had cleared not even wreckage
was visible and the circling enemy dis
appeared.

COUNTY AGENTS EFFORTS SAVE
CATTLE.

Through the cooperative efforts of
the county agents in the Southern
and Southwestern States this year
hundreds of thousands of valuable
cattle were saved. The great ranges
in Western Texas suffered a severe
dorught in 1917. In 1918 the
drought continued with increasing
intensity. Two successive years with
a. limited amount of rainfall left the
range practically barren and the cat
tie roamed about them ina starving
condition. But in the Southeastern
States conditions were different.
There was abundance of feed and
pasture and few cattle to utilize it.
Through cooperation of the Bureau
of Animal Industry and the Bureau
of Markets of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, county.
agents in Texas began to get in
touch with the county agents in the
Southeastern States where feed was
plentiful and assisted farmers in re-
gions of heavy crop production to OBJ
tain cattle from the drought-stricSen
regions of Texas. During the past
year about 100000 head were trans
ported, largely through the efforts Of
the county agents. This service not
only saved the Texas cattlemen from
financial loss and assisted in develop
ing a profitable and much-needed
branch of agriculture in the South
eastern States, but helped materially
in conserving the Nations meat sup
ply at critical time.

KENTUCKY DEFENSE COUNCIL
TO GET DEAD SOLDIERS
NAMES.

The Kentucky Council of Defense,
through its State Historian, Fred p.
Caldwell, and County Historians,
which have been appointed in practi-
cally every county in Kentucky, is
compiling records of all persons in
the service, and is also making 1ec-
ord of the civilians in war work in
each county. Mrs. Fanniebelle
Sutherland will be in charge of the
work in Bourbon county and will ap-
preciate any information sent her.
The State Historian is compiling a
record of each person killed, or
wounded or dying from disease or
made prisoner, as reported in the
United States official bulletin or in
the daily papers.
The casualty lists cannot be COM
pleted until all reports of casualties
made by the War Department are
published. 1t may be several weeks
before this is done. 1t can be said
now, however, that the records will
show that more than 1 200 Kentuck-
ians have given their lives to the
cause, including those who have died
at camps from disease.
The Council of Defense has kept a
record of Kentucky boys who have
been made prisoners. These priso-
ners have now been released, and
some of them have been heard from
since their release.

COURT BUYS LIME CRUSHER FOB
FARMERS USE.

When the FISCAL Court of Allen
