Secretary Baker Gives Out
Statement, Outlining Plans.

WASHINGTON, May 81 Estim-
ates by Major-General Crowder,
Provost Marshal-General, indi-
cate that probably three-quarters
of a million men will be obtained
for the army by the registration
on June 5 Of all youths who have
attained q years of age since
June 5 last.
Fully a million youths, accord
ing to General Crowder's esti-
mate, will be registered. At
least one-fourth of them he
thinks, will be exempted on vari-
GUS grounds.
A statement by Secretary Bak-
er, giving the estimate and out
lining plans for the draft, given
out today, read:
Probably three-quarters of a
million men will be added to the
American army in the making,
by registration, on June 5 next,
Of boys who have reached the
age of Il since June 5 1917, or
who will be q on or before June
5 1918, This estimate was made
today by Provost Marshal -Gener-
al Crowder, who will direct the
registration.
General Crowder's estimate
was based on the fact that al
most 100000 men registered
last year. This number included
all between Il and 81. Statistics
collected by General Crowder's
office show that a little more than
10 per cent of these men were Il
years old. On that basis, it is
estimated by draft officials work.

this years registration will ex-
ceed 1000. 900.
"Of this number, General
Crowdcr estimates three.quarters

regular army, navy and Marine
Corps. and the National Guard
and Naval Militia while in feder-
al service, and officers of the
Officers Reserve Corps and en-
listed men in the Enlisted Re-
serve Corps while in actice ser
vice.
General Crowder plans to
have the local boards keep their
offices open for registration pur-
poses between Z a. m. and 8 p. m.
June 5, and between those hours
all young men who were born be-
tween June 5. 1896. and June 6,
1897, must register. These men
are subject to the provisions of
the selective service act under
which the first registration was
held.
Medical students and divinity
students, though exempt from
draft, must register on June 5,
along with ali other young men,
citizens or aliens. reaching the

Bakers Message In Behalf
Of Red Cross.

WASHINGTON, May q (by A. p
Secretary Baker to night issued
this message to the nation in be-
half of the American Red Cross
war fund campaign
Every battlefield in France
speaks eloquent testimony of the
merciful work of the Red Cross.
If the voice of the American
Expeditionary Force could be
heard, there would be no doubt
concerning the responses of the
United States to the second war
fund campaign. The terrors of
battles are decreasing and the
horrors it entails are minimized
by the greatest of relief agencies,
No support which the American
people give to it will be miscon-
ceived or misdirected."
The government is urging
every family in the United States
TO not use any wheat at all until
after the next harvest. Its nee
essary to do this, or our govern
ment would not ask it.
T. M. Cason, of R 2, was in
town Thursday. He had with
him one of the most peculiar
shaped hen egg we ever saw.
The egg was normal size, with a
fiat side which very much resem-
bled a human face, which is a
sure sign that the Red Cross
drive will close next Monday
with a glorious. over the top,
subscrigtion. Mark it down.
Several of the merchants and
lawyers of Gainesboro have been
giving most of their time to the
Red Cross campaign this week,
s cars were volunteered by their
owners to be used when wanted
in making the canvass of the
county. The committeeman of
the various districts are organ
lied and at work. Some have
over subscribed their quota al
ready, and it is believed that
every district in the county will
go over without any trouble. The
people are aware of the fact that
this is the time and place to show
the boys that they are going to
back 'em up, regardless of what
it takes in money.
Mrs. Minnie McDearman visit
ed relatives at Castalain Springs

Misses Dorothy Anderson and
Mona Sadler visited at North

TRACING EVOLUTION OF BAR
In Old Rome II Had lts Origin In Re
Iatlons Existing Between
Patron and Client

The Roman bar. writes s. =. Scott In
Case and Comment. deduced It's origin
from the intimate association Of pa
tron and client In the days Of tho re-
public. This relation, founded upon
mutual support and assistance, bore n
considerable resemblance to that Of
lord and vassal during the middle ages
without. however, including the op-
prcSslve restrictions imposed upon the
latter by the laws of feudalism. Among
the many duties required Of the patron
was that Of trnnsacting the legal bust.
ness OF his clients and appearing for
them In court. This service was at
first entirely grntultous hut subse-
Quently, when the ties Of hereditary
connection became less binding. and
consultation with patrons was aban-
doned by their clients for the advice
OF jurists possessed Of greater legal
erudition, a voluntary fee, called an
honorarlum, was expected. The amount
Of this was established by custom. and.
In the course of time. when excessive
gifts of this kind were virtually de-
manded, all fees were regulated by
statute.
After law had developed into sci.
ence the profession became recognized
as a distinct calling, and legal proce.
dure having been Systematically organ
lied, representation of parties In court
was successfully effected by three
classes of pcrsons-procurators. cogni.
tors and advocates.
