2,000,O0 Will Be Fighters

Draft calls for men who have passed
their thirty-seventh birthdays are ex'
pected to begin about March 1. Plans
for bringing the older class Of new
registrants into camp have not been
completed, but the approximate date
of the first call was recently disclosed

Marshal General Crowder before the
house military committee.
In all, General Crowder told the
committee, 1888. 600 newly registered
men between eighteen and forty-hve,
will be called before July 1, and Of
that number more than two million
will be physically fit fighting men. The
calls for general service will be d.
vided as follows:
October, 345,OO0; November, 2O4, 900 !;
December, 197,500; January, 147,5OO ;
February, $4,000; March, April, May
and June, $4,000. These men will
supply both the army and the navy
and the marine corps.
In addition, 10000 men for limited
service will be called each month.
General Crowder said the work of
classifying new registrants should be
completed by January 1.

Must Purchase Sugar Every
IS Days Instead Of Weekly

Approximately 100000 pounds Of
sugar will be saved per year by a
new ruling Of the food administration
which will prevent anyone from OBJ
tanning more than, two pounds OF SUI
gar per month. Many people were I'M
consciously breaking the regulations
regarding the distribution of sugar
by purchasing their sugar on the basis
of one.half pound per capita per week.
On this basis of four weeks to the
month there would be only As weeks
to the year, or 800 days. This would
leave % days, or practically another
month. during which sugar would be
consumed on a basis of two pounds
per capita. with a population of 100.-
100000 people this would require
about an additional 100000 900 pounds
Of sugar. The new regulation requires
che consumer to purchase his allOt-
ment Of sugar every fifteen days, or
semkmonthly. rather than every week.

German Birth Rate Shows
a Drop of Forty Per Cent
Since Beginning of War

: The birth rate in Germany for 1916
fell off 40 per cent from the figures for
the year 1913, according to DR.. Charles
Greene Cumston Of the University OF
Geneva, writing in the New York Med
ical Journal.
Doctor Cumston's figures are taken
from a report prepared by the fntellt-
gence department Of the local govern
ment board of Switzerland. Doctor
Cumston says in part:
During the war there has been q
heavy fall in the German birth rate.
The first three years of the war alone
reduced by more than 100000 the
number of infants who would have
been born had peace prevailed. l
would add that the infantile death rate
has been kept we'll down, but Is 80 per
cent higher than in England.
The birth rate, which had risen from
861 per 1000 inhabitants in the decade
1841-1S5O, to 39.1 in the period 1871
1880, fell in the succeeding decades to
36.S, 36.1 and 31.9. The rate for the
last year of the decade 1901.191O was
80 per 1000 inhabitants, and the con-
tinuance of the fall brought the rate
as low as 28.3 in 1912. In 1913 there
were 1,S39,OOO live births. In Ger
many, in 1916, there we're only 1,1O3,-
200, a decrease of 40 per cent as COM
pared with 1913"

A DOUBLING HEART

Where are the swallows ded7
Frozen and dead
Perchance upon some bleak and stony
shore.
I o doubling heart!
Far over purple seas
They wait, in sunny ease,
The balmy southern breeze,
To bring them to their northern homes
once more.
Why must the flowers die?
Prisoned they lie
In the cold tomb, Needless of tears or
o doubling heart!
They only sleep below
The soft white ermine snow
While winter winds snail blow,
To breathe the smile upon you soon
again. w.
The sun has hid it's rays
These many days;
viii dreary hours never leave the earth7
o doubling heart! = .s.,,
The stormy clouds on high
Yell the same sunny sky
That soon (for spri9g is ntgh)
Shall wake the summer into golden m1rth.
Fair hope is dead, and light
Is quenched in the night
What sound can break the silence OF
despair?
O doubling heart!
The sky Is overcast,
Yet stars shall rise at last,
Brighter for darkness past,
And angels silver voices stir the OR.

Gull The FLOCK

At no time has it been more impOr-
tant to Gull the flock carefully than
now. A good hen is returning to its
owner good profit; a poor one, cor
responding greater loss. With the gen.
eral purpose breeds the pullet year is
the most profitable. In fact, it will
take two pounds more feed to produce
q pound of eggs with hens than 1t Will
with pullets. No farmer can afford to
keep any hen of the general purpose
type after she has passed through the
second laying season. All females
which have passed the first year OF
laying should be marketed unless they
are to be kept for next years breed
ers. If the farmer cannot tell the age
Of his hens, he can avoid future guess
work by putting ring on the legs of
the pullets.
Some features that will help the
farmer distinguish hens that have
been good egg producers have been
noted by the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture. In October
the poor layers will have yellow
shanks, a small dull comb, pin bones
close together, and will have COM
pleted melting. The good layer, will
be in the mott, will have pale or al
most pink shanks, will be ragged in
appearance and, If laying, the pin
bones will be well spread apart. The
good layer, even though in the molt,
will start laying just as soon as the
early molter. The good layer will
have a soft velvety skin while that Of
the poor layer will be thick and
coarse. &c..
It will pay to Gull the flock II the
culling is done right.

One Of Several Theories as
To Origin Of Wedding Ring

Among several theories as to the
origin of the wedding ring is one
which is to the effect that before the
time of minis and coinage the, gold
money in Egypt was made in the form
of a ring, usually worn on the finger
as q convenient method of carrying
and safe-keeping. The men and wom-
en-, therefore, had all their gold or
wealth made into rings, and for the
majority of people these rings were
no larger than the plain gold bands of
today. Thus, when the groom placed
the ring on the brides finger, he meant
exactly what the modern service
makes him say-he did exactly endow
his bride with Ill his worldly goods

Why Troops Of the Kaiser w..
Were Given Title Of "Huns''

The! Huns were a brutal race Of
savage people who invaded Europe
about $50, slaughtering the inhabi-
tants and destroying property. When
the kaiser sent his troops to China,
July q. 1900, he said to them: use
your weapons in such a way that for
a thousand years no Chinese dare look
upon a German askance. Be as TERRI
bic as Attila's Huns" Because OF the
Germans brutality and wantOn de-
structivenessT in the present war they
have been called Huns.

Balloons and Pigeons Were
Used to Garry Mail During
Sieue of Paris in 1901

Although airplanes were unknown III
1870, balloons played an Important
part in the siege Of Paris, relates
writer in New York Evening World.
So closely were the Prussian lines
drawn about the city that communica-
ton with the. outside world was cut
Off. The military authorities called
upon the aeronaut Durouf to make a
balloon flight from Paris. Carrying
$50 pounds of letters, he made the at
tempt, and after flight of three hours
landed at Evreaux, far beyond the
zone of Prusstan control. A regular
mail service was then established, ana
though many flights ended In disaster
IT. continued until the surrender of the
city. It was in this way that Gambret-
tn, the statesman, made his escape
from Paris to Tours, where he recruit
ed q new army, which offered des-
perate but vain resistance to the In
vaders.
The balloon service was maintained
throughout the investment, from Sep
TENDER %, 1870, to January %, 1871.
Letters to be sent "par bablonmote"
were written on very thin paper, and
among the most interesting relics of
the siege are the letter journals, in
vented by LIE Petit Journal. The news
of. the besieged city was. printed In
very small type on one side Of q thin
letter sheet and the other side of the
sheet was left blank for personal COM
munications. About q score Of Paris
papers issued these novel sheets, and
practically NIL letters were written on
them.
Getting letters into the beleaguered
city presented more difficult problem,
but this was partially solved by send
ing carrier pigeons out with the bal
looms. Letters and dispatches were
photographed. and 50 reduced that .
single pigeon hmins It's way to Paris
often carried thousands Of dispatches
in q quill attached to its tail. One
pigeon carried to Paris dispatches rep
resenting 100000 francs In postage.
