THE LANCASTER FAIR
ATTENDANCE GOOD CONSIDERING
WEATHER-FINE AGRICULTURE
AL EXHIBIT-GOOD RACES.

Lame as the Lancaster fair was
from an added amusement standpoint
it than made up for this lack
Ey a very fine agricultural display
which is the real old-time purpose of
a fair anyhow. The exhibit of grains,
vegetables and culinary and domes-
tic are was about the best ever
shown and this is saying a lot. 1t
alone was worth the price of admis-
sion.
Grant county hog breeders had a
splendid exhibit-said to be the best
in years. The Polands, Durocs and
Chesters were all in evidence and
some splendid specimens there were
too; worth going far to see. The
raisers took every pains to explain
the fine points of their offerings and
those interested in this very import
ant industry got their admission back
right in this section.
The Women's War Exhibit attract
ed a good deal of attention. There
were photos of our own soldiery and
a number of specimens of various
sorts from the wal zone. Primarily
this exhibit was to stimulate interest
in tn spending 4th Liberty Loan. 1t
aroused more interest than anything
else at the fair.

SPEED The KEYNOTE
DECLARATION MADE THAT LOCAL
BOARDS MUST DO WORK In
ONE-THIRD OF 1917 TIME.
HURRYING MEN TO FRANCE

Washington, Special.-Provost Mar
shall General Crowder is quoted as
saying that the national selective SER
vice machinery must speed up oper-
atoms Immediately to make it pos
sible to get men from the new regis
tration on~the way to the army can
tonments by the end Of October.
Outlining changes in methods adopt
ed to that end, Gen. Crowder said
missionaries would go out to reg
istrants before the drawing has been
conducted to determine the order of
their call, and that local boards would
be urged to commence classification
Immediately.
Questions relating to the order of
call and to the time of drawing Gen.
Crowder set aside in discussing the
subject, leaving only the intimation
that these would be announced in a
short time.
Gen. Crowder said after explaining
that a few Glass l men from the Aug.
"a registration would be available to
fill early October calls:
1.-THE necessity of filling the Octo-
Der acquisitions either in part or in
whole out of the effectives to be OBJ
tanned under the new classification
makes it necessary to look forward to
the substantial speeding up of the
work of the local boards.
ut is imperative that the work of
the boards proceed much faster than
a year ago. In every way steps will
be taken to make it possible to OBJ
tain this speed"
To accomplish this, according to
Gen. Crowder, local boards are asked
to see that the return of the cards
from registration is as prompt as pos
sible and that thereafter that the pro-
cess of assigning serial numbers to
the cards is fastened.
Accomplishment of this work in
side of ten days is now asked, though
the 1917 registration took thirty days.
1t may be possible to hold the draw
ing on Oct. 2, Gen. Crowder explained
but it cannot be started until the
lists of serial numbers have been COM
pleted by all boards. He said:
GAS I have stated on several oc-
casions, the supply of men in Glass /
under the old age limits will have
been exhausted, or practically so by
the end of themonth.
ITO prevent an interruption in the
flow of men to camp we must begin
inducing men of the new registra-
ton into the service next month.
Whether they can do so depends en-
tirely upon the local boards and the
cooperation of all parties concern
ed"
BY Jan. 1, the General concluded,
it was hoped that the classification
of the nation would be completed and
the man power mobilization ready for
any eventuality.
Although felons were rot admitted
to tie army, Gen. Crowder remarked
he had directed that every pcnIten-
tiary and prison warden register the
inmates of his institution within the
new draft ages on Sept. y.
Persons awaiting trial and those
convicted of misdemeanors, as well as
inmates of jails, ~reformatories and
asylums other han felons, will be
treated by the draft boards as absen-
tees.

STATE FUEL HEAD
EXPLAINS REASONS
FOR SUNDAY RULE
PLEASURE MOTORING ON SUNDAY

The U. S. Fuel Administration finds
that in regard to the conservation of
gasoline many have understood that
the plan of not driving pleasure au-
tomobiles on Sundays was an order.
instead OF a request. 1t has been sug-
gested that the result to be sought
might better be gained by a card sys-
tenn or some other method of ration
in ggasoline. The answer to this is
that in the time it would take to in
augurate a card system of ~rationing.
the shortage should be overcome,
particularly if there is heed to the
calls of conservation with regard to
waste, leaks, and the running OF mo-
tors when not actually in operation.
There is further answer that from
European experience, the machinery
of administering a. r%ationing system
to three or four million automobile
users, is SO large and so extremely
expensive that it should not be UNI
dertaken until the need is extremely
great.
The request for no Sunday driving
was limited to the territory east Of
the Mississippi because the great
bulk of the country's gasoline is OBJ
tanned in the m~id-continent fields Of
Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Louis
lana, while all oil and gasoline sent
to the war zon is shipped from our
Atlantic seaboard, and transportation
is saved by conservation in the east.
People have asked whether they
should use their cars for %church-go-
ing; the answer, according to the Fu-
Ell Administration, that where church
can be reached reasonably in another
way, the automobile should not be
used and that after all, the conscience
os each citizen will be his best guide.
It has been reported that in a great
many cases the proprietors of hotels
and restaurants in outlying districts
and many operators of soda fountains
in the cities refused to serve pleasure
seeking customers who drove out in
automobiles. Taxicab operators in
most cities refused, last Sunday, to
take passengers except on specific
trips. They declined all hourly and
pleasure trips. Patrons of siehtsee-
ing cars have also been made to feel
that by riding on Sunday they are vi
olating the Administrations request
just as much as the man who drives
his own car.

STATE GAME LAWS

asked relative to the time of the OPP
ening of the hunting season on var
ious kinds of game. The law pro-

more than five any day. Rabbits may
be killed from Sept. 7th to February
