LADY WILL HEAD SOLICITING
C0MMITTEE.-S250.OO NEEDED TO
INSURE SUCCESS.

The movement to place a gigantic
flag upon the water tower at the
city hall is rapidly assuming definite
shape, and council will be asked at
its next meeting to authorize the
erection of the pole and to provide the
funds necessary for this feature of
the work.
The flag to be placed there will be
purchased through the Chamber of
Commerce, and will be secured at
wholesale cost. The emblem will be
purchased with funds to be provided
by patriotic citizens here, and the
Americas Lighting Co., will furnish
the current necessary to keep it well
illuminated at night free of cost to
any one.
In order to keep the flag visible at
all hours, it will be necessary to pro-
vide three spot lights, and these, to-
gether with the flag will cost about
$4,000. In order to raise this amount,
the Chamber of Commerce will ask a
committee of young ladies to convass
the city for funds, and these young
ladies will soon begin their work of
solicitation. The chairman of the
committee is yet to be named, and she
will name the other young ladies who
will WORK with her in the project.
The name of the chairman is to be
announced at an early date. accord

CHAIRMAN MAYNARD AND SECRE-
TARY NESBIT SAY THE LAW RE-
QUIRES ALL BETWEEN AGES OF
EIGHTEEN AND FORTY FIVE, IN
elusive, TO REGISTER FOR
MILITARY SERVICE.

There is apparently some confusion
regarding who must register for mil
itary service under the terms Of the
new 1916 draft law, and The Times
Recoder today ascertained the exact
law pertaining thereto.
Secretary Nesbit, of the local board
here, stated this afternoon that the
order to register includes all male
citizens, without respect to physi-
cal or mental condition, who have at
tanned the age of eighteen, and who
have not passed their forty-sixth
birthday. In a word, all men in their
forty fifth year must register.
The law on this subject has been
furnished The Recorder by
Chairman Maynard and Secretary Nes-
bit, and reads as follows
Persons Who Must Register.-All
male persons who shall have attaine
their eighteenth year and who shall
not have attained their forty-sixth
birthday on or before the date set
for registration by the president, must
register"
The law, there is plain and there
exists no reason for anyone being
misinformed thereon.
The registration here will be con-
Quoted in separate buildings, all ne
groes being registered in the Su-
perior courtroom in the courthouse.
and all whites in the offices of the
local exemption board in the city
hall building.

SURPLUS OF LABOR
SHORTAGE OF JOBS
Defense Council Requests That Work
On All Contemplated Public
improvements Be Started

Helena, Dec. 24.-Telegrams re-
ceived by the Montana Council Of
Defense from the National Council Of
Defense indicate that the wor and
other departments at the national
capital interested in seeing that re.
turning soldiers obtain employment.
are Of the opinion that there will be
a surplus of labor and a shortage Of
jobs during the late winter. For this
reason the Council Of Defense urges
that where public improvements are
contemplated by counties and munich
palities, they be advanced where pos
sible, in order to absorb the surplus
labor. It is also urged that prelim-
mary steps for the carrying on Of
public improvements contemplated
next year be taken as soon as pos
sible so that operations may be start
ed early in the spring.
Newton w. Baker, secretary of war
and chairman Of the Council of Ma
tional Defense, says: 1.-THE re-em-
ployment of discharged soldiers, sail
ors and war workers, released from
war industries, is one of the most inn
portant tasks before the country.
Would strongly urge that in sections
where a surplus of labor exists all
public improvements be advanced in
order to absorb labor. Would ask
that you use all your influence with
state, county and municipal authori-
ties to this end. Preliminary steps
should be taken Immediately in order
that necessary authority may be Sc
cured in time for operations before the
opening of obstruction season."
That the government is not going
to place any obstacle in the way of
building or other construction is in
Dictated in a telegram received by the

NOT STARVING
SAYS NEW YORK PAPER
Food Administration Through V0lun.
tary Conservation Prevents
Starvation.

"People are not starving to death
in numbers in Belgium this winter"
The above statement, made last
week in a New York newspaper,
brought out interesting comment.
"Then why does the Food Admins
tration ask us to saw food so care
fully, and why do we hear so much
about the needs of Belgium" asks
the ordinary citizen. IF they are not
starving, why create all this talk
about saving food for them"
People are not starving in num-
bers in Belgium this winter because
the United States Food Administra-
ton has undertaken to prevent just
such a happening. The Food Admin
istration has been able by its efforts
to provide food in time to avert COM
plete famine.
Quite occasionally stories reach
America from France or Belgium, de-
nying serious scarcity of food and
pointing out that the Bergians and
French still are being fed. Such
stories seem to give the impression
that the Food Administration has been
too much concerned, and thta a seri-
Gus state or food shortage does not
exist.
But the American who reads such
stories may confidently exclaim, "why
sure, they have food overseas; I and
my neighbor Jones sent it to them."
There will be starvation in places
in Europe that the United States
Food Administration cannot reach in
it's relief campaign. There will be
very little starvation in the places
that can be reached, if Mr.. Hoover
and his men get the food to send. And
so far the American people have
saved the amount asked by Mr..
Hoover.
