new quota sheets to all the local
boards making new allotments for each

used on data furnished by the war de-
partment as to the number of men in
Glass in each local district in Iowa.
AS soon as these allorments reached
the local boards the adjutant generals

tions TO the effect that they could not
be filed owing to a sohrtage of Class

An investigation revealed that there
was a sufficient number OF Class l

that many districts were called upon

number OF Glass men received only

Wealthy Athlete Enlists.


st. Louis, July 13.-Ulrich Petthaff.
former Washington University football.
basketball and track star, is now en-
listed in the navy following a kaleido-
scopic career in the oil and gas fields
of Oklahoma during which time he
made and lost $25O,000.
Potthoff, shortly after leaving school
in 1914, became interested in oil specu-
Iation and two years ago organized
company which drilled well at Cherry
vale, Kan. 1t was gusher and sub
sequently well added to Potthoff's
fortune. He then went to Oklahoma
and invested all Of his capital in ieasas
near CurIey. He became the leading
citizen OF the little town: in fact he
owned practically everything on the
townsite. But his well refused to gush
oil and his fortune dwindled.
The navy called for red blooded Am
orleans and Potthoff decided to switch
from oil to water. He enlisted as
seaman.

CHARLES RAY TODAY
 AT CENTRAL THEATER

Five years ago Charles Ray. who will be seen at the Central theater today in ''The Son of His Father" a Paramount production. was a member of an unimportant musical comedy in the far west. Today he is one of the recognized stars of the cinema world.
 His newest phOtOdrama gives to this young actor splendid opportuni- ties for effective portrayal of an in teresting character He is seen as the son of New York railroad mag nate, who, with $5,OOO dollars, sets out to prove to his father that he pos sesses enough inherent business abil- ity to make a hundred thousand dol lars in six months. He makes good defeating his father in a contest of business wits, and finding happiness in the love of a very charming girl of the west. In fact, he proves in every way that he is the 'son of his father"
 It is a role very much to Rays liking. and he brings to it the pleas ing personality, the bOyish enthusiasm, and the recognized genius for screen acting that have made him favorite everywhere.

POINT k CRESSON IS
 TAKEN BY TOMMIES
 IN BAYONET CHARGE

"Pont a Cresson, strategic point in the allies drive, taken from the Ger mans in fierce bayonet charge " This is what the headlines in the daily papers flashed to the millions of in- telssted readers all over the world but little did they guess the tragedy that lay in those few words. How French mans heart was breaking because he had not been able to strike blow in detense of his birthplace, or how, in another corner of the world. a white faced woman waited for news of her man, oLce a stacker, who had led the heroic charge of the British Tommies "cver the top"
 Had the Frenchman, a little de- siener n New York, known the part he had played, miles away from all danger, iii the deliverance of his be- loved birthplace, he would have been transformed with happiness. But the hand O. destiny had played its parl in this allied victory, choosing for it's Instrument a gown designed by this same grieved little Frenchan. It is this element of surprise which makes the new Triangle release, The Gown of Destiny" at the Orpheum theater today, the most appealing and intense ly interesting screen dramas of the present day. Alma Rubens is starred in his Lroducction. supported by Walt Whitman. J. Barney Sherry, Allan Sears and others.

"SCkNDAL" FEATURE AT EAGLE THEATER TODAY

As the headstrong. wilful daughter of a wealthy New York family, Cons tance Talmadge scores an unqualified success in her new Select production, Scandal, which is a gripping screen version of Cosmo Hamilton's novel. The picture which will be shown at the Eagle theater again today is filled with tense moments and reveals this newest star as an actress of unusual charm and ability.

Col. zuVCr Takes Anti-Fat Cure

Col. Zuver, the notorious but
good-natured auctioneer, has hit
upon a most excellent plan to re-
duce his weight, which ''bars
down" something like $50 pounds
when stripped for action. He has
just established a rabbit garden
and has started in with several
dozens of these elusive Belgian
hares with a view to help furnish
meat for the army. Every after
noon the Colonel turns them loose
on the prairie around Grangeville
and then runs them down and
captures them again. Frequently
he kicks them out of the way in
his wild desire to get the vigorous
exercise desired. He says that as
an "anti-fat remedy" this rabbit
cure has 'em all skinned.

Bridge for Whitebird.

The commissioners of the
Whitebird and Deer Creek high
way districts have awarded a con-
tract to the Security Bridge COM
pany of Lewiston for the con-
struction of wagon bridge across
the Salmon river at WhitebTd.
The construction will commence
about August Is and the contract
provides the bridge shall be COM
pleted by November L.
The bridge will cost approx
mately 500, 900 and will consist of
two cantilever spans, 155 feet in
length and one suspension span
46 feet in length. The bridge
will be mounted on concrete piers.
The cost of constructing the
new bridge will be shared by the
two highway districts and large
and productive area on the south
side of the Salmon river will be
made tributary to Whitebird and
the north and south state high
way. The Joseph and Doumecq
plains are included in the district
to be served by the bridge.
The Deer Creek highway dis
trict embraces a large area on the
south side of the Salmon river
and plans provide for improving
the highways of the district SO as
to facilitate travel from the en-
tire region. The development of
this region has been greatly retard-
ed because of the unsatisfactory
facilities for crossing the Salmon
river and the poor highways lead
ing from the river to the interior
districts.
