WILL REGISTER WOMEN

WILL REGISTER WOMEN
National registration of women
available for work on farms is plan
ned by the department of labor as
an advance step in a campaign to Sc
cure sufiiciency of farm labor for
every section of the country during
the coming season.
A. L. Berkman, chief of the divi-
sion of farm service, announced re-
Gently that every effort would be
made to meet the expected shortage
of farm labor by plan to mobilize
the available men and women in
every community in the country.
Heavy SHOWS in the middle west, he
said, should mean large wheat crop
and If the favorable weather contin-
ues one of the biggest yields on re-
cord may be expected.
A special farm service man will
be stationed in most of the "a feder-
II employment agencies of the coun-
try, Mr.. Berkman said, and in addi-
ton postoffices in the small farming
communities will be used as recruit
ing stations, the postmasters or
some other representative citizens
acting as community labor agents.
"The farmer" Mr.. Berkman said,
will have to increase wages much
more than they have to get men to
come from the city. They have not
raised wages anywhere in proper
ton to their increased profits
Women, Mr.. Beckman continued
will be needed for truck gardening
fruit gathering, dairying and other
light forms of labor, but they will
not be called upon for the heavy
work SO long as men are available.
'The college girls and the women
of the leisure classes who are ready
to respond to a call for workers as
! a matter of patriotic SERVICE" Mr.
| Berkman said, "must be depended
upon for the women labor that will
be needed"

GOOD RECORD FOR MONTANA

GOOD RECORD FOR MONTANA
Montana men are more willing
than any others to serve their coun-
try, according to the report of ajor
General E. H. Crowder, provost mar
shall general of the United States, on
the first draft.
Details of the voluminous report,
which have just reached Miss0ula,
show that Montana ranks first
among the states of the union in
waivers of exemption claims. Only
1928 per cent. of the men called in
Montana under the first draft claim
ed exemption. The national average
was 46.05 per cent. Kentucky had
the least creditable record. There
more than so per cent. of the men
called under the draft asked to be
discharged
This record seems to prove that
the Thermometer of Patriotism"
accompanying General Crowder's re-
port is not altogether accurate, for
on this thermometer Montana is al
most below the freezing point. The
thermometer is based upon the vol
untary enlistments from the several
states as compared to the draft quo
tas. Oregon stands at the top with
15S volunteers to every 100 of the
draft quota. Montana is twenty-ninth
with practically 81 volunteers for
every 100 of the quota.
Few of Montana's volunteers were
credited to the draft quota, however.
The selective service law did not
credit the states with enlistments in

Any other coal not mentioned above
not to exceed gross profit of $1.75.
Local deliveries of 500 pounds or
less, 25c allowed to be added to gross
margin.
Local deliveries from 500 to 1900
pounds, 35 cents allowed to be added
to gross margin.
Any coal sold in car lots where not
physically handled by the coal dealer
or other agency in any way, the said
dealer or agency is then classed as
coal jobber and is not to reserve more
than Is cents per ton gross margin on
any such sales or deliveries.

RED CROSS ORDERED
TO CONTINUE KNITTING

Red Cross workers throughout the
division should continue knitting un-
til instructions to the contrary are
sent out from division headquarters,
according to Mrs. F. L. Fridley, di-
rector of women's work for the di-
vision.
A telegram received recently from
Washington contained the notification
that there is still a great demand for
knitted articles. Sweaters will be
used by the soldiers until late in the
spring and to some extent during the
summer 1t will be necessary to con-
tinue knitting socks all the year
around.

of recommendations for the conser-

NO MORE EXAMINATIONS
UNTIL INSTRUCTIONS ARRIVE

Until the local board receives def
mite instructions to proceed with the
physical examination of registrants
in Glass One, none will be examined.
The new regulations are on the way,
but until they get here, the board is
powerless to go ahead with the ex-
aminations.
The tie-up of this work has caused
great deal of hardship to a great
many men in the county who have
come many miles under trying condi-
tions to be here on time, and only to
find when they got here, that they
cannot be examined.

would be apportioned among the
counties the same as the regular
calls are apportioned.
It is not known when the call for
the second draft will be made and
until it is made, it will not be known

it's the state will receive for men who
have enlisted voluntarily since the

new REGULATIONS FOR
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS
Many Men Otherwise Exempted Will Be Brought Into
Service By New System. Limited Duty for
Many Resistrants

New regulations for selective draft
physical examination have been is
sued by Provost Marshal General
Crowder in preparation for extern
tion of the policy of accepting for
special and limited service regis
trants untitled for general military
duty. They will bring into the ser
vice under the next draft, many men
who otherwise would be exempted.
The local draft boards are direct
ed to pass upon registrants for gen.
eral military service only when they
come within the standards of un-
conditional acceptance or rejection
All other cases must be referred
to the medical advisory board for
further examination. Hereafter
there will be no unconditional re-
jecting of men who have remediable
defects.
Under the old regulations men
under five feet tall were uncondition-
ally rejected. In the future men of
5S inches If exceptionally well-pro-
portioned, may be taken. and II not
exceptionally we'll proportioned their
cases must be referred to the medi-
cal board. Registrants above IS
inches when not exceptionally we'll
proportioned, also are to be referred
to the medical board for classified
tion.
The minimum weight established
by the regulations is 100 pounds,
unless the underweight is "plainly
due to some recent illness and other
wise the registrants have no dis
qualifying defect" but no cases OF
registrants weighing between 100
pounds and 10 pounds, are to be re-
ferred to the medical board.
Registrants underweight in pro-
portion to their height, unless it is
plainly due to some temporary cause
also go to the medical board.
The provost marshal general an
nounced that specific regulations and
information soon are to be given tc
the medical advisory boards concern

vice for registrants untitled for gen
eral service.

There were only two classes in thu

regulations a man may be fount
physically disqualified for genera

An, advance of 20 to 80 cents has
been recorded on some grades of raw
silk in the local market during the past
week Buying is better and the market
shows an added stimulus. The Yoko-
hama market is also strong.
That the sudden upturn OF prices took
the local raw silk market by surprise
Is the opinion of H. L. Gwalter & Co.
A good many dealers we're caught short
and had to buy as best they could at
climbing prices. 1t is believed the mar
ket's activity will increase.
The Yokohama market has advanced
50 yen above quotations of last week.
A good deal OF speculation and excite
ment accompanied the upward move
ment. Latest cablegrams quote Snshui
No. at 1920 yen. A weaker tone Is
noted in the Canton market. Shanghai
Is quiet. American buyers are not doing
much business in the Milan trade.
