In the Reconsideration of drafted

In the Reconsideration of drafted
men last month the new publisher
of the Grangeville Free Press, J.
G. Safely, was changed from class
A to class 2. Since the July draft
will take all of the class l boys,
young Safely will likely be called
in the August draft. 1t is report
ed that for this reason the two
Grangeville papers are soon to be
consolidated into one paper, to be
known as the Globe-Free Press.
This surely would prove a well
come change for the people of
Grangeville, as there is not bust
ness enough there to properly sup
port two papers. AS everybody
knows, one well-patronized pros
porous paper is Of ten times more
benefit and credit to a town and
community than two poorly pat
ronized struggling papers-which
usually results in prostituting and
running the business by cutting
prices down to starvation rates.

FRIDAY, JULY IL, 1918

The farmers of Camas Prairie
and Nezperce Prairie will think
more of their land when they
learn that in the half dozen north
western states the wheat outlook
is more promising in this favored
section of country than anywhere
in the whole western country.

The Soldiers Chances

Great as the danger and large as
the losses in the aggregate, the in
dividual soldier has plenty OF
chances of coming out of the war
unscratched, or at least not badly
injured.
Based on the morality statistics
of the allied armies, a soldiers
chances are as follows:
Twenty-nine chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recover
ing from wounds to one chance of
dying from them.
One chance in 500 of losing a
limb.
Will live five years longer be-
cause of physical training, is freer
from disease in the Army than in
civil life, and has better medical
care at the front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men
died from disease to l from bull
let's; in this war l man dies from
disease to every 10 from bullets.
For those Of our fighting men
who do not escape scratches, the
Government under the soldier and
sailor insurance law gives protec-
ton to the wounded and their de-
pendents and to the families and
dependents of those who make the
supreme sacrifice for their country

The Souls of Corporations

There is an old axiom Of Eng
lish law that corporations have no
souls. The manner in which thou
sands of corporations have given
their services and their means to
the Liberty loan, to the Red Cross
and to the Y. M. c. A, and to other
national efforts during this war
seems to disprove the truth of the
saving.
The Congress Of the United
States seems to have adopted the
view that a corporation may have
a soul, since it has authorized ma
tional banks to contribute to the
American National Red Cross out
of any net profits available under
the law for the declaration of divi-
dends. The law further provides
that funds so contributed shall be
used by the Red Cross in furnish
ing voluntary aid to the sick and
wounded relief of the Army and
Navy of the United States, and the
relief of the suffering caused by
the war to the people of the United
States and their allied nations.

NEW WILLIAMSBURG
CAMP OPENS SOON
Delaware College Men Eligible
to Appointment

A second training camp at
Plattsburg will open on July Is
and continue to September 16. The
sixty days military training will be
intensive. In addition to those
students from accredited colleges
and universities who attend the
first camp and who have the option
of remaining for the second camp
if selected by the commandant, in
stitutions of learning of collegiate
grade have been invited to send
one students for every fifty on the
college roll.
This applies to accredited mill
tary institutions in which the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps has
already been established. Institu-
tions that have not previously had
military training as an integral
part of their courses are asked to
send a student representative for
every twenty-five students enrolled
and one faculty member for every
two hundred students. The pur-
pose is to train the college repre-
sentatives in such fashion that
they will be we'll versed in all the
latest methods of handling the
great question Of military training
and will be in a position to return
to their own institutions to fill po-
sitionS as assistant instructors. In
order to be eligible to take this
course, the students recommended
by their college must be highly
qualified both physically and men,
tally and must be willing to enlist
in army service for the period of
sixty days, when they will be dis
charged. They will receive hous-
ing, uniform, sustenance, equip
ment, military instruction, and the
pay of a private in actual service,
and in addition, an allowance of
three and one-half cents per mile
for travelling expenses.
Dean E. L. Smith annonces that
Delaware College will send four
representatives to this camp upon
invitation from the War Depart
ment. These representatives will
be J. A. Mackie, Kemblesville,
Pennsylvania; w. E. Barnard,
i Camden, Delaware; Draper Smith,

Reflections on the Dog Crisis in
England:

Reflections on the Dog Crisis in
England:
John Galsworthy, the novelist,
puts the argument for the dog in
war time upon basis which even
the most severe economist cannot
dispute. 1--WE all want" he writes,
Ito save grain as much as we can;
we none of US want to be unreason-
able or obstructive but neither do
we want panic to take from us one
Of the chief comforts left in these
sad and comfortless days. Why
does not the Government wipe out
the theater, why does it allow
music, books, every other mental
and spiritual relief which takes up
time and energy? Why not make a
clean sweep Of them? Because the
Government knows that we cannot
go on supporting this strain with
out some relief. Well. | say that
our dogs are as great. nay, great
err comfort than any of these
things"
The English have always beer
extravagant in their way of feed.
ing dogs, and there is no doubt
that the cost of feeding a dog, anC
feeding him we'll enough to keer
him in good condition, can be
brought down to an astonishingly
low figure. An English woman
writes from Paris, for example
Until l came to live in France

terrier a whole week. | do not add
bread or scraps from the table. A
beef spleen costs four-pence."
Here is an Irish canine bill of
fare: my only butler, an Irish
man, joined up at the outbreak of
the war and went to France, where
he is still fighting, leaving his dogs
with me to take care of. This |
intended to do faithfully, should |
give my own food to them. They
are in better condition since the
waste nothing campaign than
they ever were before, and are fed
on potato Feelings, fish skins, and
scraps of cabbage-all thoroughly
cook" 1t is a safe bet that, in one
way or another, the English dog
will survive so long as an English
man is left to give him a bone.
"Take away our tobacco, our hob
bies, our pleasures, and our holi-
days, but leave our dogs alone!" is
the final word of typical English
man.
The family dog confers upon the
child in the family a training in
love, affection and benevolence
which outweighs thousandfold
the cost of the few bones and
crusts that constitute his luxurious
fare.

NEW ENGLAND FARMERS
FORM WAR COUNCIL

More effectively to organize for war
service and to keep in close touch with
national developments affecting agri-
culture, farmers of the New England
states have formed war council. The
Federal Food Administrator in each
of tl>a New England states was asked
to name three bona tide farmers and
the newly-for.ned organization is an
outgrowth of a conference of thHse
delegates.
1t is known as the New England
Farmers War Council and has chosen
as its president f. S. Brigham, of Yer
mont. who is also a member OF the
Agricultural Advisory Committee, a
national committee of farmers which
meets at Washington from time to
time TO confer with officials of the
Department of Agriculture and the
L. S. Food Administration. Mr.. Brig
ham will now act as the authorized
Spokesman for New England farmers.
Other officers of the Council are Wal
fer r. Farmer, of New Hampshire,
vice president. and G. c. Sevey, of
Massachusetts, secretary.

MAN-POWER CENSUS
BEING MADE
Method Explained by Charles
Warner at Recent
Meeting

It has been decided by the Off
.cials of the U. S. Public Service
Reserve and the U. S. Employment
Service of the Department of
Labor that a simplifed man-power
census of the industries in Della
ware is absolutely necessary. The
census is under way at this time
and it is requested that employers
cooperate fully with agents Of the
Reserve who will call upon them
in the near future for the purpose
of obtaining specific data. The
government at this time is prepar-
ing a labor quota and will make
apportionments for the various
states. The state apportionment
will be divided among the various
communities and the census which
is being taken provides the infor-

which men will be picked from var
ious industries with a minimum of
hardship to business to fill the
community quota. At meeting in
Wilmington on Thursday, July IL,
the entire policy of the Employ
ment Service of which the Public
Service Reserve is an integral part,
was outlined by Mr.. Harold Stone,
chief of the Mobilization Section
of the U. S. Employment Service
at Washington. AS a member of
the National Staff Mr.. Stone stated
that the success of the United
States and her allies in the great
war depended largely on labor. In
the last four years labor has re-
| ceived no recruits from emigration
| whereas industrial activities and
farm work have increased. About
| three million men have gone into
military service, all of which has
been drain upon the labor supply

ment, and the Z. S. Employment
Service has been organized to take
