Practically every man who regist-
er for military service on June 5, last
and was placed in class one, will be
in uniform by Labor Day. according
to authoritative information obtain
ed here today
The statement shows to what ex-
tent the draft machinery mas been
speeded up, to what extent the
number of military available in the
first class has been reduced, and
how it is inevitable that the age
limits will be modified to obtain a
greater number of military eligi-
bles within very short time.
The draft machinery which start
ed out to assimilate $4,000 men
monthly the first part of this year
has been added to, until now it is
expected that 100000 men will be
called into the service during Aug
ust. And if the order comes TOR more
men and the legislation is obtain
ed to provide the supply, the ma
ehinery can be improved to fill any
demand, the men in charge of the
machinery say.

BY the time all the fires we're ex-
tinguished in the west central por-
ton OF the city Saturday afternoon
It was found that ten houses and
eight barns had been on fire. Small
boys aided greatly in saving the
places by climbing to the roof and
stamping out the fires. George Eth
erlngton, whose barn was burned to
the ground found small fire
caused by a Union Pacific engine a
short time before his barn caught on
fire. He thought everything was al
right when he left but spark be-
lieved to have come from the same
engine, set the big barn ablaze
Burning shingles from Etherington $
barn caused the other small fires.
