Wheeler's "William A, in four heats, Ii.
H. Havey's "Fred Orphan" taking the
second heat and second money. Bradbury
Smith took the third money with "Earl
King"
In the 2.30 class, DR.. II. A. Hollis LADY
Black" won in straight heats, but r. d..
Young's "Venus" was a close second in
each heat. George Latin took third
money with grandson of "Columbo."
The horsemen all pronounced the day a
great success, and winners and beaten are
all anxious for another scrap while the ice
is in good condition.
Mr.. Young has recently sold his speedy
chestnut horse Goldie to E. B. Wyman of
Ellsworth.

years Of age. Conversely great num-
bers of them were born of youthful
mothers. Abraham Llncoln's mother
was only twenty-five at the time of
his birth. Napoleon the Great was
born Of parents twenty-three and nine

ARE PATRIOTIC COUPLE
Family of Mr.. Ernest COnklin
Have Unusual Record of
War Service"

There is no doubling the pa
triotism and loyalty of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ernest Conklin ard fami-
y. There are four sons. and
Il Ct them are in the army as
olLnteers.
E'.rrence Conkrn is in the
9Th Coast II Ia :ry, IA; is al
he front in France. Ray, the
youngest, 10 years old, is in the
22nd Michigan Machine Gun
Battalion, and is also on the
fi'hting line in France. Charles
is in the headquarters company
at Monterey, CAL, but wrote a
few days ago that he was to be
transferred to the artillery, and
would soon leave for overseas
duty. George is a machinist in
the navy at Mare Island, and
quit a $7-a-day job in civil life
to enlist.
The father, who conducts a
soft-drink stand on Morley ave-
hue regrets that his age and
crippled condition prevents him
from being with his boys at the
front. Mrs. Conklin is no less
loyal than the remainder of the
family. When her youngest
boy asked her permission to en-
list, she readily consented. Also,
she took $500 she had saved up
at odd times in small amounts
and bought War Savings
Stamps with it.

When you 60 to the store nowadays
to buy cloth or shoes or q bed or q
pillow or an automobile tire, you should
not be surprised or disappointed If
you do not find as great variety to
choose from as in the past. The con-
servation division Of the war industries
board Is responsible for this condi-
ton.
This division has reduced already
the number Of sizes Of automobile
tires from 287 to 33 and more are to
be cut from time to time. Over 1000
sizes and types Of plows and tillage
implements that can be spared with
out hardship to the farmers have been
eliminated in accordance with the
plans worked out by the conservation
division.
This means that the manufacturers
will be able to secure economy in pro-
duction and the amount of materials
and capital tied up In the manufac-
turers' and dealers stocks throughout
the country will be greatly reduced.
This program of elimination, moreover,
Is making 1t possible for the steel mills
to turn out their product more rapid
ly and thus the production Of steel for
ships and munitions IL speeding up.
There will be only 80 styles Of metal
beds made hereafter. There will be
only 80 shades of house paint, only 10
kinds of architectural varnish, only
one-fourth as many sizes and kinds Of
stoves and furnaces. Similar plans
are being worked out for every indus
try. These plans are all based on
the need Of conservation to help sup
ply the men who are In the trenches
and the war industries board expects
the cooperation Of merchants and the
public generally in accepting these re-
auctions in variety. The conservation
division says we surely can get along
during the war without all the frills
that we have INDUCED in during peace
times. The purpose of all these plans
Is to help win the war.
The occupation in which Mexican la
borers may engage after being admit
ted to the United States under the spe-
cial provisions temporarily modifying
the head tax, literacy test and con-
tract labor provision have been extend
ed by Secretary Of Labor Wilson.
The first order permitted Mexican
laborers coming to this country to en-
gage in agricultural pursuits, railroad
maintenance Of way and Ignite coal
mining. To this list has been added
mining of all kinds and comomn labor
work In connection with public con-
struction in Texas, New Mexico, Ar
izona and southern California.
To facilitate the admission Of Mexi-
can laborers they will be permitted to
enter the United States at all ports Of
entry along the Gulf Of Mexico and
on the Atlantic coast as far north as
Charleston, s. c., in addition to. the en-
try ports along the Mexican border.
Encouraging reports are being re-
ceived from the border states as to the
effect the influx Of Mexican labor Is
having In alleviating local labor short
age. The demand and supply for farm
hands Is about balanced, is the report,
and any shortage of labor heretofore
existing has been relieved. Many Of
these new immigrants are cutting cot
ton In the Southwestern states.

of people a few houses above.
Mr.. Wise's residence was for
our use, with doors, windows
and all passages open. We were
treated like human beings. AT
ter our guns were placed, and
the MeXicans got our range, the
house was subjected to a heavy
fire. During the heat of the
fight two young ladies came out
on the porch with sandwiches
and cold drinks.
While bullets from all direc-
tions we're hitting around them,
the. girls did not betray the
lightest trace Of fear or excite
ment. When the sandwiches
were delivered they walked
calmly back down the stairs.
And all night long the doors
