GREATER THAN
FIRST ESTIMATE

Washington, Sept. 13.--Five states
reporting on yesterdays draft registra-
ton of men from 1S to As showed to-
tails of six to- seven per cent greater
than the estimates made for them by
the provost marshal generals office.
Officers of the provost marshal
generals office said the grand total
would not be overrun to that extent,
as the states reporting probably had
abnormal labor conditions.
The first reports came from Rhode
Island, Vermant. Wisconsin, Minneso-
ia. Oregon and the District Of Colum-
bia. ....
The figures probably will not be
made public until they have been cor
rected and completed.
Registration on August "a Of men
who had reached 81 years since June
5th last, added 157 1868 men, to the ma.
tion's manpower enrolment, the pro-
vost marshal general announced to-
day. This was just As, less than the
advance estimate of 15S,011.
Yesterdays registration of men be-
tween IS and 45 for military service
was per cent above the advance esti-
mate and may have added close to
14.O0O,00O men to the manpOwer rolls,
according to the reports that began to
come in the the provost marshal gen
eral today from state draft executives.
The first group of states to pre-
sent partial or complete totals all
showed well over expectations.

TOWNLEY'S TACTICS
AGAIN UNDER FIRE
Rev. S. r. Maxwell Exposes the
Alleged Methods of the
League President

Hudson, S. d., Sept. 13.-Samuel r.
Maxwell. formerly asmember OF the
inner circle of the NOnpartisan
league, spoke here last night on "The
Blights of Autocracy." His address
was a severe arraignment of A. c..
TOwnley. president of the league.
Maxwell made it clear that the in
terests of Townley and the league
were not identical. He said he was
not opposed TO- Townley personally,
but to the autocracy which he repre-
sents. He charged Townley had con-
troll of the sources of information the
farmers received, and that he owns
newspapers and controls their pol
icy. He said he never had attacked
the League, but had exposed TOwnley
and thereby his machine.
He pointed out that with 10000
league members in South Dakota, the
league had collected $480,0O0 in this
state alone and asked his audience
what the South Dakota farmers had
to show for their investment? He
said he had heard Townley declare in
June that there was no money in
the league treasury, and that at least
1000 life members at 500 each were
needed to put it on its feet. He said
that all the MONEYS ,OOO, ,OOO-col-
lected In Outh Dakota and ten other
states. had gone to keep T0wnley in
power.
Maxwell said the constitutional
amendments to be presented to the
South Dakota voters in November
would carry out the farmers program
and that If Townley were honest he
would withdraw entirely from South
Dakota. He challenged Townley to
publish the South Dakota proposed
constitutional amendment in his pa

The lady in the picture has on one

roomy bodice, having plain coat
sleeves and a long, square cape at the
back. This, with the turnover collar,
the cuffs and belt give additional OPP
portunity to feature the novel decora-
ton. The large scroll pattern, appear
ing on the skirt is repeated in smaller
motifs on the belt across the cape and
collar and on the cuffs.
Unexpected details In the costume
appear in the slit pockets in each side
of the skirt and in the small scarf
made to match the coat. This scarf
idea has been developed by costumers
in several clever ways, sometimes at
tached to the coat and sometimes not.
The turban worn with this very inter
esting garment is evidently part Of
the outfit, for 1t depends upon a COW
cred cord to furnish its decoration, but
goes further and adds an odd new
pompon which looks much like a
chrysanthemum made of ostrich flues.
Nothing illustrates better the "diffi-
cult simplicity" which is demanded of
designers of the dress of today, than
this smart coat-dress.

work for the plan.
Let your light shine in the back yard
that there shall be nothing hidden.
Have grass and shrubbery In the
back yard rather than rubbish.
Some of the prettiest things in the
way of plants, vines and shrubs should
be in sight of the kitchen window.
Hardy analeas are among the most
brilliant. hardy shrubs.
All the spireas, herbaceous or shrub,
are beautiful and hardy.
Let your kitchen window be a pic
ture frame. Let the picture framed be
green things growing.
Let the green things be something
beside burdock, gimpson weeds and
cookie burrs.
Plan to screen the ugly views from
the back door. Vines will do it.
Get a root of the trumpet-creeper
from the woods, and plant it in the
back yard.
Get strong stake beside it, and
keep the vine cut back until the shrub
habit is formed. 1t is beautiful.
The trumpet-creeper will not spread
unless you cut it's roots. When you
do you won't have to import any more

FRESH AND ROTTED MANURE

There seems to be a difference of
opinion as to the value and use of
fresh and well rotted manure. Almost
oh authors on gardening recommend
the use Of "well-rotted" manure for all
plants.
That well rotted manure is the
safest and best for immediate results
in general farm and garden practice,
is admitted
But large quantities of this fer
tiiizer is difficult to secure at all times.
BESIDES, manure which has rotted in
heaps, unless properly handled, has
lost large share of its best fertiliz-
ing properties. The greatest objec-
ton to the use of fresh manure for
immediate plant growth is that it
burns the crop unless the growing sea-
son Is very wet.
This, too, it will be admitted, is the
usual case; yet the bad effects from
the use of fresh manure arise from i'm
proper methods of applying the ma
nure and the working of the soil after
the application.
Fresh manure may or may not heat
in the soil and injure plants, accord
ing to the way it is worked into the
soil. Fresh manure, of course, under
goes decomposition and produces heat
In the process; and the more of it
there is in one place, the more heat
there will be given off.
Then to overcome the bad effects
Of the heat to the growing plants fresh
manure should be well scattered and
well mixed with the soil so that no
large amount will remain in any one
place.
