Latest Draft NeWs,
Local And National
DRAFT TO OPERATE IN
FAVOR OF FARMERS

In emphasizing the need for in
creased production, and the Nations
dependence upon the farmers, Presi-
dent Wilson recently said:
"Out of 13, $780, 900 men engaged in
farm industries, 205,O 900 have been
drafted, or about 1.4S per cent Of. the
whole number.
I'm addition to these, there have
been volunteers, and the farmers
have lost 6. considerable number of
laborers because the wages paid in
industrial pursuits drew them away.
In order to relieve the farming indus
try as far as possible from further
drains of labor. the new draft regu-
lations have been drawn with a view
to taking from the farms an even
smaller proportion of men, and it is
my hope, that the local exemption
boards will make the new classical
tons with a, view of tightening the
load upon the farmers to the utmost
extent.

For late turnips, the seeds are usu.
ally sown broadcast on land from

moved, and for this reason the turnir
is a good crop to grow for storage

until after the first frosts. They may
be stored in banks or pits or in the

MEN TO BE CLASSIFIED AS
TO PHYSICAL FITNESS

WASHINGTON, Mar, 7-Reclassi-
fcation according to physical condi-
ton of the men called in the next
army draft is provided in revised in
structions for medical advisory
boards throughout the country. The
new, regulations made public tonight,
require that every man summoned

one of the following four classes:
(A) Acceptable for general mill
tary service: (B) acceptable for
general military service after being
(cured of remedial defect; Co accept
able for spectator limited military
service in a specified capacity or
occupation; I'd rejected and exempt
ed from any military service.
1t is the intention of the provost
marshal general TO provide later for
the further investigation and CLASH
fication of the men acceptable for lin
TIED or special service so that record
may be made of the sort of work each
of these men may be assigned to do
| without endangering his health.
Under the new regulations, many
ailments and defects which gained
exemption of drafted men in the past
now will result only in their being
listed in group B. Such men if they
choose will be given the privilege of
securing the services of their family
physicians in the effort to remove
the defect, but if they have not avail
ed themselves of this privilege within
a specified time, they will be called
into military service and ordered 70

structfon hospital or to a civic hos
pital, as way be designated by the

The seed for eggplant should be
sown in the hotbed about six weeks
before the time to set the plants in
the open. The eggplant is'a heat-lov-
ing plant and cannot be successfully
planted until the ground has become
warm and the weather settled.
The soil best adapted to the egg
plant is a rich, sandy loan, well
drained. The plants should be set in
rows 3 feet apart, with the plants 2
feet apart in the rows: Cultivation
should be frequent and thorough.
Fresh manure. should not be, used on
eggplant, but well-rotted manure may
be applied freely. In fact, there is
little danger of getting the ground
too rich. Elephants may be used as
soon as large enough and cannot be
kept for any length of time.-U. s. De-

s0oeoo DRAFED MENTO
BE CALLED DURING 1913

NA
Washington. March 12.-Eight hum
dred thousand men are to be called
to the colors gradually during the
present year under the second army
draft, which begins March 20.
An announcements today by Pro-
vost. Marshal General Crowder, of
the number to be called was followed
closley by an order for the mobiliza-
ton of $4,000 men during the five-day
period beginning March 20. some, To-
900 of them to be assembled under the
second draft. Eighty thousand will be
men of the first draft of 687.O o not yet
summoned into service.

Details of how the second draft as to
be applied will be made public later.

ed legislation providing for the regis
tration >of youths attaining the age of
district quotas on tht number of regis
trants in Glass One, In his first Off
cial statement on the subject. however.
General Growder assures the country
that no-sweeping withdrawal of large
numbers of men at one time is contem-
plated. and that care will be taken to
avoid interference with harvesting.
The $4,000 men now called. it is IN
derstood. are needed at once to fill up
divisions and other units scheduled for
departure or to take the place Of men
transferred from other divisions to
make up such deficiencies, Newly Or
ganized regular divisions are particu-
larly short of men and heavy draft on
national army divisions to make these
good have been necessary. seriously
interfering with the training work OF
the national army divisions drawn
upon, The call for new lei makes it
probable that no further transfers VIII
be necessary.
VIII Fill up Army
The 100000 men to be summoned
this year represent the number neces-
sary to fill up all existing divisions. to
create all the army corps and field
army troops to fill out the war ma
chine for which the framework al
ready exists. and to provide a quarter
of a million r~eplacemnt troops. When
they have been modified which will
not be completed before the first of
next year, there will be more than
forty full infantry divisions Of 27.7V0
men each and all the additional units
necessary, No additional divisions of
the national army or national guards
will be created this year. although the
program for the regular army. now
composed of eight infantry and one
cavalry division may be enlarged.
The first purpose of the war de-
partment is to complete the lrst field
army in France. Probably this will
be composed of five army corps of six
infantry divisions each, 1t has been
estimated that with that forct and
it's necessary auxiliaries at his dis
posal. General Pershing would be
able to hold a 100 mile sector of the
battle front. relieving the strain upon
French man-power during 1918 to
that extent. What that would mean
to France may be judged from pub
lished statement of French officials
that on January :. 1918 the Belgian
army held about fifteen miles of the

Clocks That Time Speeches.

On the speakers desk in the United
States house of representatives is, a
little clock-like machine with q dial
graduated in minutes from one to six
and a single hand that goes once round
the dial in six minutes. This is started
and stopped by a tiny lever at the top.
The speaker uses it in timing members
in a debate wherein the speeches are
limited.
The inventor. c. II. Graves Of Phila-
delphia, designed 1t for keeping time
on long-distance telephone calls, which
are limited to three minutes. At the
bottom Of the dial is a scarlet mark.
When you get your connection over
the wire you press the little lever,
which stands at o. and set the machine
going. When the pointer is approach
ing the red mark you know your time
is rapidly drawing to a close.
It is astonishing how few persons
have any idea how long three minutes
are. Nine out of ten will hurry their
long-distance calls so that they use
far less time than they pay for.

RationR

Just doing of; MI. Lance Corporal
butted in.
In Tommy's eyes a lance corporal is
one degree below a private. In the
corporal's eyes he is one degree above
a general.
He ordered me to go with him and
help him draw the next days ratlons,
also told me to take my waterproof.
Every evening, from each platoon or
machine-gun section, a lance corporal
and private 60 to the quartermaster
sergeant ut the company stores and
draw rations for the following day.
The quarter" as the quartermaster
sergeant is called, receives daily from
the orderly room Captains ofice) a
slip showing the number of men en-
titled to rations, so there Is no chance
of putting anything over on him. Many
arguments take place between the
quarter" and the platoon noncom, but
the former always wins out. Tommy
says the quarter" got his Job because
Ae was a burglar in civil life.
Then I spread the waterproof sheet
on the ground, while the quartermas-
ter's batman dumped the rations on it.
The corporal was smoking a fag. I
carried the. rations back to the billet.
The corporal was still smoking a flag.

Tea in India,

For years past India. the great tea
producing and exporting country, has
received large imports Of tea from 9TH
er countries. The imports have con-
tinued and even increased during the
war, in spite of the Cutting Of the
market with Indian tea, owing to the
shipping restrictions. The imports are
mainly low-grade teas. which are
transformed" into Indian teas by mix
ing with the genuine article. The bulk
Of the imports are from China, the
Shan States, Ceylon and Java but it is
curious to learn that last year 10000
pounds of tea went to Indian from the
United Kingdom.
