Second July Draft
Calls 100000 Men

AS a further step carrying out the
war departments plan to have three
million men under arms by August
1, Provost Marshal General Crowder
Tuesday night called on the govern
ors of all states except Arizona and
Illinois for the mobilization between
July 20 and 25, of 100000 white
draft registrants qualified for gener-
al military service.
This call will exhaust class 1, and
when added to school acquisitions Of
2S,436 men brings the total calls so
far announced for July to 243,436.
To complete its program, the depart
ment will have to depend upon the
100000 class 1 registrants and the
25C,000 class 1 registrants expected
from the June enrolment and the
100000 or 100000 to be obtained
through the reclassification now in
progress.
In the call announced, New York
leads the list with 22,241 men; Iowa
is second with 17,S49, and Wisconsin
third with 1S,200.
Some of the state quotas and camp
assignments follow:
California, 400, Camp Lewis,
Wash; Colorado, 100, Camp Travis,
Tex; Idaho, 1000, Camp Lewis; Mon
tana, 1000, Camp Dodge, Ia; Nevada,
S100, Camp Custer, Mich; Oregon,
$500, Camp Lewis; South Dakota,
200, Camp Dodge; Washington, 1000,
Camp Lewis; Wyoming. 500, Fort
Riley.
Becase Of a mistake in reporting
The classification of Illinois regis
trants, there will be no calls from
that state during July. Arizona was
not included because all of the regis
t-ants in class l physically qualified
for military service had been exhaust
ed. 1t probably was for the same
reason that no call was made on 1t
for the July 1926 mobilization.

Spruce Used In Airplanes.

Because the government needs all
the spruce for airplanes, the piano
manufacturers Of the country are hav-
ing hard time to get sounding boards
for their instruments. Spruce is the
best wood the piano manufacturers can
get for this purpose and they have
used 1t in immense quantities for
many years.
But sounding boards and airplane
beams call for the same quality of
stock-clear, straight-gralned tough
fibered and free from blemishes. In
their desire to assist the government
in airplane construction the piano
manufacturers have agreed to curtail
their output 80 per cent during the
war. They can get along with the
spruce stock now on hand for some
time, they say. Meanwhile they will
try to find substitute for spruce. Sew

Interest Gaining
In Normal School

A lively sentiment is being awak-
ened in different parts of the state
in favor of more teachers training
schools.
The serious shortage of trained
teachers is affecting the efficiency
of our public schools, particularly in
rural districts.
AS the annual demand is for near
1000 teachers of which Monmouth
can supply at most ESQ, the state
educators are under the necessity Of
calling on the other states for the
required number to make up this
deficiency.
The regents of the normal at Mon
mouth, as we'll as President Acker-
man, will come out in a strong plea
for the new normal measure to be
published in the Voters pamphlet.
AS the representative of the Ash
land normal school, Hon. Benz. c.
Sheldon has been in consultation with
prominent persons in northern and
eastern Oregon with view of organ
izing the sentiment into concerted
action.
His letters report gratifying prog
ress among educators, the press and
well wishes of the state.

NAVE TO KNOW MULE NATURE
Drivers o. Patient Animals Realize
They Have Peoullarltles and
W Must Be Humored.

An old fiea-bitten, hammer-headed.
ewe-necked bell mare, slowly picking
her way across the corral at the re-
mount station at Camp Zachary Taylor,
followed by a long string of mules
walking in single file, heads down and
ears wagging, served as Illustration
for an officer attached to the big can
tonment who had just finished remark
Ing that "horse nature and mule ma
ture and human nature were mighty
contrary things any way you take
them"
''Now, take those mules" he said.
'sThe education of pack mule is
thing that must begin early. He has
just two purposes In life.
zone is to carry 225 pounds day
after day patiently and uncomplain-
ingly, and the other is to follow the
bell mare of the train, regardless Of
where that animal may 60. Well, there
Is in that corral an illustration of the
effectiveness Of our training. The old
mare has started after drink of
water and there goes every dad-blasted
one of those fool mules after a drink
of water"
Investigation revealed that the pack
mule is not the only member of his
family that has peculiarlties that can
be played upon or must be humored.
It was learned that the larger mules,
once teamed up or paired, must there
after be worked together if each is not
to suffer loss in efficiency. Two
strange mules will not work together
anything like so well in the beginning
as they will few weeks later, after
they have become well acquainted, and
then if they are parted the whole
process must be gone over with again.

School Districts
Decide To Merge

A number Of the rural school dis
tricts throughout the county are vot-
ing to consolidate for the coming
year The object Of this merging is
to lessen expenses and on account of
the scarcity Of efficient teachers.

The vote was unanimous in Gold Hill
and 2 to / in Rock Point. Pupils will
be hauled to Gold Hill by auto and
bids for this haul will be opened soon.

of consolidation in the county and 1t
is expected to be followed by num-
her of consolidations.

Rogue River Courier
Destroyed By Fire

The office of the Rogue River
Courier at Grants Pass was visited
by q fire Tuesday which totally de-
stroyed the mechanical department
The fire originated in the back yard
where the melting of metal for the
linotype had been in progress. A
zinc covered board placed back OF
the melting furnace became so over
heated that the board ignited and
the fire spread to the woodshed.
Within a couple of minutes the flames
had spread to the rear walls, which
we're of wood and in very short
time the interior OF the building was
4 roaring furnace.
BY hard work on the part Of the
fire department, the flames were ex-
tinguished before they had communi-
Gated with the front office, although
that department suffered much dam
age from smoke and water. Seven
sheets of plate glass in the front of
the building we're cracked, and more
than a hundred panes of other glass
were broken.
The loss which will amount to sew
eral thousand dollars is covered by
insurance with the exception of pa
per stock. Five tons of news paper
is scorched and ruined.
A small sheet will be issued daily
from the job press of the Observer
office, as the cylinder press of the
Courier is the only one in the city.
it will take some time to repair the
damages sufficiently to resume usual
operations in the Courier office.

Darkness Above the Sky.

The projectile Of the gun with
which the Germans have been shelling
Paris from distance of seventy-fve
miles must rise in its trajectory to
height Of twenty-four miles above the
earth. The Scientific American says
1t is probable that at that height there
is so little air that the sky loses its
blue appearance. because there is hard
ly enough Of II to produce the refrac-
tion Of light which gives 1t its luminos-
ity.
"If we could accompany this shell
on its course" continues the Scientific
American, 1--WE should probably find
the sky growing darker and darker,
until 1t becomes nearly black. In the
black sky the sun would show as a
bell Of fire, while the stars which were
not obliterated by the suns light would
also be visible. Below us we should
have the reflection Of sunlight from the
earth and from the denser strata Of
the atmosphere"

Sailor Robhss44 q Q!
Belongings On Train

A recent visitor to Ashland told
pitiful story of holdup that oc-
Cured on the train on which she
was passenger. A number Of sold
iers and sailors were on board the
train, and mingling freely with them
was woman, apparently much older
than the lads in service.
This woman told a hardluck story
to the boys, of how her husband had
Just been called to the army and she
was left without provision. Relying
upon their sympathies to assist a fel-
low soldiers wife. In this manner
the woman was having her expenses
betrayed on her trip.
After she had left the train one
OF the sailors, who had his discharge
papers and who was on his way home,
discovered that $40, his entire stock
of money, railroad ticket and papers
had been confiscated, presumably by
the woman whose hard-luck story had
elected SO much sympathy from the
men in the service. To relieve his
embarrassment the passengers took
up collection for the young man to
allow him to continue his journey.
1t is claimed that this is a common
occurrence where men from the var
ious camps are held up by women on
The trains, who get the most of their
expenses paid in this manner.

Can SIeep Anywhere.

A soldier who enlisted and was sent
TO Houston was sent out to the
trenches for training, and while on
duty he was granted two hours rest.
He was allowed to sleep on the firing
step of the trench, which, he said, is
mine inches wide. He said when he
zones back he will be able to sleep out

COcOanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful VIVA, you wash It
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified CO.
coanut Oil (Which Is pure and entirely
greaseless), Is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything else
you can use for shampooing. as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance Of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly The lather rinses out cas-
ily, and removes every particle Of dust
dirt, dandrutf and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and j.
leaves it fine and silky, bright, nIny
and easy to manage.
