IONS Of
SECOND DRAFT
MADE PUBLIC
Provost Marshal General Says That
Eight Hundred Thousand Men Will
Be allied, Starting March 29-Men
in Deferred ClassificatiOns as Well
as in Class | Will Be Called.
(By Associated Press)

Washington. March 13.-Provost
Marshal General Crowder today made
the first official announcement of the
time of the second draft. 1t will be
ordered as soon as Congress amends
the law to compute the basis of ap-
portionment among the states from
the number of registrants IN Class l
instead of population. For purposes Of
computation, 500 900 men will be con-
s.dered as composing the second draft,
although no such number will be
called to the colors at any one time.
Men in deferred classifications, the
provost marshal general announced,
would be called in small numbers, as
we'll as men in Class l, for the pur-
pose of utilizing special technical quail
ifications or sending them to school
to acquire such qualifications.
The provost marshal general make
the definite statement, however, that
IlSTe Will DS HO Suudcii NIlLluI dWai VI
great numbers of men from industry
and agriculture during the coming
summer, but that they will be draw
in relatively small groups sprea
throughout the year. To give the eX
act numbers, he says, would be to Civ
the enemy military information.
While General Crowder sets no timo
in his statement, it has been state
previously that supplies and equip
ment for the men of the second draf
would become available in April an
action on the desired legislation is ex
pected before that time. and the frs
calls are expected soon afterwards.
The next national quota will be
announced and apportioned among the
several states as soon as pending leg
islation authorizing change in the
basis of computation is enacted b.
Congress-" says the provost marshal

"The number that will be assumed
as basis for computation will be $780,

DEL MONTE WEEK
A GREAT SUCCESS
ireat Total of 10000 Tins of This
Product Go at Special Sale in the
Narney Bros Stores Throughout
the Nalley-What This Merchandise
ing Event Means.

Probably one of the most remark
eble feats Of merchandising which has
ever occurred in Imperial Valley has
Just been cOnsummated lately by local
irm. More than anything else this
'eature has shown the real resources
f Imperial Valley. A firm that can
lake one line of goods and by close
cooperation increase the ordinary
ales of this article 500 per cent shows
that Imperial Valley is one of the
greatest markets in California.
The idea referred to is the Del
Monte week held week at time in
each of the five Varney stores. The
Ell Centre store came first and start
ID the ball rolling with nearly 5000
tins in one week. The same plans
were followed out in the other stores
and up to the last week the Brawley
store held first place with $500 tins
Then Games Holtvilie Zone of the
smallest communities in the Valley)
with the great total of 1890 tins.
1t will be of interest to the mer-
chants of the Valley to know just how
-hese remarkable results were
achieved
The heads of the firm, when cor.
sulted regarding the Del Monte Week
stated that three things combined
closely together were responsible, viz.
Store enthusiasm, newspaper advertis-
ing and liberal window display.
In every instance the grocery man.
ayers made special booth displays near
the front of the department, in which
Miss Mary Godfrey, the Varney house
demonstrator, opened Del Monte pro.
ducts and showed the public the high
quality.
This is further testimony that the
communities of Imperial Valley are
able to absorb great quantities of p
nigh class food product. During thu
entire demonstrations, which lasted
i've weeks, approximately 10000 tins
OF Del Monte goods were sold. To
better realize how much this amounts
TO, 1t is estimated that two full freigbt
cars would be needed to shin this
amount.

WONDERFUL
FOR THE PAINS
OF RHEUMATISM
New Hampshire Woman Tells How Re-
covery Followed Building
Up Her Blood.

Every rheumatic sufferer knows that
pain is the one characteristic symptom OF
rheumatism. Whatever theory may be
held regarding the cause of the disease,
it is conceded that a remedy that will re-
lieye the pain can be regarded as sue
cessful in the treatment of rheumatism,
Less conspicuous than pain but more
dangerous is the thinning of the blood
that almost invariably occurs in rheuma
tism. In no febrile disease is this symp-
tom more marked
A remedy that not only relieves and
banishes the pain but that also builds up
the blood is an ideal one for rheumatism,
because it rebuilds and repairs the raw
ages of the disease. Such recovery is of
a permanent nature. As long as the blood
is thin and filled with impurities it is
very difficult if not actually impossible
to make any gain that will not be fol-
lowed by corresponding relapse.
Mrs Harry Adams of No. 81 West Ter
race street, Claremont, N. H., ascribes her
recovery from rheumatism to DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills. She says; MANY years
ago / suffered an attack of rheumatic
fever and have had rheumatism and
stomach trouble ever since
Il was in terrible shape and could not
dress myself or do any work. My hands
were swollen so badly that / could not
use them at all My stomach also was
disordered and anything | ate distressed
me.
"The medicine took gave me but tenn
porary relief, and at one time | thought
recovery impossible. / read in paper
about DIR. Williams Pink Pills and gave
them trial The result at the end of one
week was wonderful, and | kept on until
| had taken four boxes. By that time the
pain had entirely left me, and my food
no longer caused me discomfort
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills certainly are
wonderful remedy, and ! heartily rec
ommend them to anyone suffering from
rheumatism or stomach trouble"
The purpose of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills it to build up the blood. They do
this one thing, and they do it'well, They
are for this reason an invaluable remedy
in diseases arising from bad or deficient
blood, as rheumatism, neuralgia, after
effects of the grip and fevers. The pills
are guaranteed to be free from opiates or
any harmful drug and cannot injure the
most delicate system.
Or. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent by mail, post
paid, on receipt of price, so cents per

When the history Of the war is written,
no doubt a volume at least can be devot
ed to the participation of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg in the operations. Quite
considerable part of volume has al
ready been written about the "hero of
the German people," more often in de-
rogation than in praise during the past
year, Whether or not it be true that
Won Hindenburg and the kaiser have
clashed in dispute concerning the re-
treat of the German forces on a wide
front at this time, it is true that the for
mer must have suffered very much in the
estimation of the Germans, who consid-
,ered him as more or less omnipotent in
war and who believed that he could lead

would fail. At the same time the kaiser

MAKE the Most Of the Apple crop,

Most people know apples are health.
full But a great many do not know that
they are among the most nutritious of
fruits and that their value in this way
is higher than that of many everyday
foods commonly regarded as indispens-
able to our tables. One pound of raw
apples has the food fuel value of 200
calories. Translated into everyday terms
this means that apples have about three.
fourths the nutritive value of potatoes
and as everyone knows, potatoes are a
solid and dependable food.
Without realizing the real food value
of apples, however, people have neverthe-
less eaten them freely for hundreds Of
years-yes even back in prehistoric times
apples were a common article of food.
Scientists tell us that apples in the
common form probably originated thous-
ands of years ago in that part of the
world south of the Caucasus and watered
by the Tigris and Euphrates- where the
garden of Eden is generally supposed to
have enchanted our first parents.
America is now the leading apple grow
ing nation of the world. This involves a
great responsibility on us this year, for
with food all.oyer the world so scarce, it
becomes almost sacred trust not to let
any Of our apple crop go to waste.
In every home, which has storage fa-
cilities, as many barrels of apples as can
be used should be stored as soon as the
good winter apples are in the market.
The windfall apples should be saved by
drying. Cut out the bruised parts, pare
core and slice Then drop into cold water
containing eight teaspoonfuls of salt to
the gallon, if light eolored product Is
desired Leaving them a minute or tive

GERMANY PUT IN NEW DILEMMA.

I GERMANY PUT IN NEW DILEMMA.
, While there may be some disappoint-
ment among the American people that
President Wilson did not reply to the
German and Austrian peace advances by
fiat statement that the central powers
could have peace or not on the terms
presented him in the famous APPOINT
note, that disappointment will wear away
as the people come to a realization that
Wilson is not playing the game as the
crafty Teutons wish him to play it. He
has countered in the traditional Yankee
fashion by asking the other side what
they are going to do and what faction of
the German government is represented
by the note which came from Berlin.
This attitude will throw the weight of
responsibility on the Germans and will
not make ii possible for the United States
to be accused in future years of forcing
the continuance of the war. 1t is squarely
up to Germany. If Germany does not UNI
lreservedly say that she will Immediately
evacuate all occupied territory of her en-
lemies and former enemies, that will mean
the continuance Of the warfare; and that,
by the way, is something which is ex-
tremely abhorrent to the German people
at the present time Germany is placed
ION two horns of dilemma and is going
TO be prieked terribly. Meanwhile the
cessation of warfare, for which the Ger
man government hopes in panio-stricken
fear, is not forthcoming; the allies are
sweeping ever nearer to German terri
tory It is not likely that the United

Despite the persistent appeals of the
fuel administration in Vermont to the
people to cut wood for fuel, there is a
supply of only 10000 cords available at
the present time, against normal need
of 100000 cords. This shortage probably
does not reflect any Stacker sentiment on
the part of the people of the state, but
It does reflect the great lack of labor in
the farming districts. The farmers them
selves have been so busy with their crops
that they have not had time to gather
lirewood. 1t is probable that the months
Immediately following the harvesting Of
the crops will be devoted TO cutting wood
for fuel, so that the supply win come
