SENATE PASSES MANPOWER BILL
BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

The man power bill, bringing
within the army draft all men from
1S to As years of age, was passed
Tuesday afternoon by the Senate
without a modified work or fight
clause.
The Senate was recorded unani-
mously for the bill. Senator Gore,
of Oklahoma, who cast the only neg
alive vote on the roll call, withdrew
it and was excused from voting.
All efforts to change the age lin
it's or to direct separate classical
ton of youths under Fl failed and
the measure now goes to conference
between the House and Senate with
no difference for serious controversy
except the work or fight provision.
In conference the differences in the
drafts of the bill as passed by the
Senate and enacted Saturday by the
House by vote of 336 to 2 are ex-
pected to be compromised speedily,
and the bill in it's final form trans
mitted to President Wilson for his
signature late this week. Prepara-
tions being made by Provost General
Marshal Crowder to carry out the
provisions of the measure are expect
ed to insure the registration of all
men within the ages of Is and FL and
81 and As with a week or 10 days
after the President attaches his sig
nature.

possibilities, as gardeners, have la
bored faithfully in the Community
War Gardens in this city. The
work has been carried on under the
supervision of Mrs. Harriet Minaker,
Visiting Nurse for the Bourbon

per cent. of garden products of an
excellent quality. From sales of this
produce the League has benefited
financially in a considerable sum.
Now that the season is drawing
to a close, and the boys will soon be
trudging back to school and books,
it is proposed to have a field day
for them, when they may enjoy
themselves in sports dear to the boy
ish heart. The event has been
scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 3,
the weather permitting. The follow
ing program has been arranged: L
Seventy-five yard dash; Potato
race; 3-Three-legged race; A. Wa
termelon race; Sack race.
The boys will also be given a pic
mic dinner, besides other things cal
culated to make them spend an en-
joyable day. The events will take
place on the Nippert lot, at the end
of Stoner avenue, near the Paris Ice
