Atlanta.-Upon announcement Of
congress Of the future policy of the
United States regarding military
training hinges the future OF the Ma
tional Guard Of Georgia, and every
other state. Plans for recognizing
the Georgia guard are at standstill
at present, and probably no action VIII
be taken until Congress takes the
first move. II universal training is
authorized by that body, then the Ma
tional Guard will be unnecessary, 1t
Is pointed out, for the federal govern
ment then will be supporting a stand
ing army OF from 100000 to 100000
men. In case universal training is not
ordered, 1t is understood that Georgia,
with practically all other states, will
advocate before congress a plan for
re.establishing the state guard under
national control, but dealing directly
with the secretary of war, as an indie
pendent branch of the military serv-
ice. and functionina under its own Of
ficers and in the militia bureau. This
plan, according to Georgia officials,
will get rid of the handicap suffered
by the pre-war National Guard organ
izations, in that they were under di-
rection of the regular army, and that
the spirit evinced between the two
WAS never of the best. AS matters new
stand the state cannot get machine
guns or any other equipment from the
government except haversacks and a
few other small articles needed. The
legislature having failed to appropri-
ate enough money to support the or
ganized guard, the state military au-
thorities cannot proceed with its or
ganizatlon until federal aid is obtained.

HIGH RECORD BY
GEORGIA IN WAR
STATE GAVE MORE THAN ITS
QUOTA or MEN, WITH SMALL
PER CENT or EXEMPTIONS
STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
Brief News Items OF important Gath
cred From All. Parts
OF The State

Atlanta.-Georgia did her full share
in the fight against Germany. She fur
nished slightly more than her quota of
men. Her percentage OF exemptions
was less than the national average. and
although there were only five states
that had as many district boards, the
cost Of operating the selectiye service
system in this state was much less
than the national average. These
statements have been obtained from
statistics and figures compiled by Maj.
Joel b. Mallet, selective service Of
flcer for Georgia, Much of the infor-
nation Is based upon the reports of
Provost Marshal General Crowder to
the secretary Of war Major Mallet
gave an interview which was of es.
pecial interest in view Of the fact that
all district, local, medical advisory and
legal advisory boards will officially
pass out of existence by order of the
secretary OF war Georgia enjoys
the enviable record of furnishing her
percentage Of the total increment Of
armed forces and of furnishing this
increment at cost to the government
less than the national average" said
Major Mallet. According to either
population or registration, Georgia fur
nished her quota of men. This is also
shown by the fact that the national
average of defelments and exemptions
in general was 6529 per cent Of the to-
tai registrations, while in Georgia only
60.39 per cent were exempted or de-
ferred. In other words, the average in
class one in Georgia was greater than
the national average This fact is es-
pecially significant for the reason that
in Georgia a greater per cent of the
registrants were married and there
fore presumably a greater per cent had
dependents than in any other state in
the nation. Therefore, it would seem
that Georgia should have had more ex-
emptions or deferments."

NEW METHOD is USED
IN RELIEVING DISTRESS

Reducing the dislocation of a
shoulder by the use of gas was the
feat accomplished by a Colville i'm
plement dealer last Saturday. The
work was done in an auto on First
avenue. Although not regular
practitioner in this line, the operator
has license, and states that he has
had more or less experience in the
use of gas.
Saturday morning William Layers,
senior in the high school, was
wrestling with Harry Eslick and
Wallace Buckley in their rooms over
the Colville Implement store, and
his right shoulder was dislocated,
the arm being wrenched to a per-
pendicular position and remaining
there. The boys hurried him down.
stairs and found A. l.. Artman, the
manager of the implement company.
He speedily cranked his bort and
lit out for DR.. l. S. Clark, with the
injured wrestler and his companions.
When the crosswalk on First ave-
nue. between the Lee and Goetter
corners was reached, the speed of
the car was something under a hun
fsised miles an hour, aud the pro-
truding crosswalk gave the car and
it's occupants such bump that the
passengers are said to have gone
straight up"
By the time Layers lit, and was
being helped from the car, he ex-
claimed "Gosh, that jolt must have
put it back" And sure enough, the
arm was back in it's proper place
The top of the car had forced down
the upright arm, and thrown the
shoulder joint into place.
DR.. Clark found his almost-patient
in no need of aid, but on inquiring
by what right an implement dealer
could reduce fractures under the law
of the state of Washington, was in
formed that Artman had a license.
In fact, the license was hanging on

years. At the university he was a
member of Phi Delta Theta frater-
nifty, Phil Delta Phi law fraternity
and the Oval club. He enlisted in
the L. S. army in October, 1917,
and was graduated from the third
officers training school at Camp
Lewis, January, 1918, where he was
recommended for a commission in
the field artillery.
He went overseas in May 1918,
and attended the Saumur artillery
school in France, where he was COM
missioned in June. He served with
the 329th field artillery until later
transferred to the 9th balloon COM
pary, with which he served on the
western front until the armistice
was signed. Lieut.. Rogers was re-
ported killed on the 9Th of Novem-
Der, but the day after receiving this
notice his parents received a letter
from him dated two days after the
signing of the armistice. Lieut.
Rogers landed in Newport News,
May 5, and from there was sent to
Camp Lee, Virginia.

STEVENS COUNTY POMONA
TO BE LARGELY ATTENDED

Stevens county Pomona grange is
scheduled to hold it's quarterly
meeting Tuesday, May 20, and is
to be entertained on that day by
Bert Curry at his ranch near Mey-
ers Falls, known as Snowflake ranch.
If the day is pleasant, grangers are
expecting the meeting to be one of
the best attended in the history of
the Pomona organization.
That every subordinate grange in
the county will be represented at the
meeting is the hope of the Pomona
officers. This meeting closely pre-
cedes the state grange session at
Port Angeles, and the election Of
state officers, so considerable i'm
portance is attached to the Pomona
sessions. R. l. Case, who has been
around the state organizing grange
warehouses, is to be at the meeting,
May 20.
From a social standpoint, this Po-
mona will be a huge success, for
with hospitable host offering his
farm for the day and the talent of
all the subordinate oranges to help
make up a program, there is no
doubt but that the day will be an
enjoyable one.

Colville Boy Scouts Run Instead of
Walk During Victory Loan
Campaign

With the successful close of the
Victory loan campaign, Stevens
county has gone over its quota in
each of the five liberty loan drives.
1t is of interest to know that the
people Of Stevens county have pur-
chased 81 100000 worth of bonds in
the five drives, an average of about
$50 for every man, woman and child
in the county. In the fifth loan
Stevens county raised $332,55O, with
quota of $310O50.
Much credit for the success of the
loan campaigns in Stevens county is
given G. w. Peddycord of Colville,
who has served as chairman through
out the five loans. Every time he
has given out the word that it chad
to be done," throughout the county,
efficient men and women chairmen
have seen to it that it was done.
Mr.. Peddycord has expressed his
pleasure in the loyal cooperation
which he has received from the
workers. In the last drive, the
raising of the quotas seemed i'm
possible, but the workers at the
eleventh hour turned seeming de-
feat into success.
That people have learned during
the war valuable lessons of thrift,
is the statement made by Mr.. Ped
dycord, based on figures showing
that savings deposits have increased
27.03% in spite of war demands
Colville raised her quota in the
eleventh hour, largely through the
efforts Of group of business men
who met at the close of the drive
and agreed to "put it over" Chair
man Carl Buchanan and his COM
mittee worked hard to fnishA tEt
job in Colville. The Minute Women
in Colville made house-to-house can
vases and were faithful workers in
the campaign. The Boy Scouts of
Colville aroused the admiration of
everyone in their bond selling ac-
tivities during the last week of the
drive.
"They didn't walk, they ran"
exclaimed Mr.. Peddycord in speak
ing Of the Boy Scouts. The boys
tackled everyone who came their
way as prospective subscriber and
their arguments would have done
credit to older workers. They sold
80 bonds totaling $1,000 and six
Boy Scouts are entitled to receive
gold medals from the treasury de-
partment for selling bonds to ten
subscribers each. Those to receive
these medals are Phillip Clark,
Friend Lucore, Clarence Nelson,
Harold Nicholas, Leland Wilson and
Durward Thayer.
A record in bond sales was made
by L. Dannheiser, Dale Jones and
Neal Ledgerwood, who one day
talked bonds to 81 people and sold
80 Of them.
Following are the quotas of the
various towns and the amounts
raised. The railroad and Standard
Oil subscriptions, which were sent
in direct to the federal reserve
bank, but were credited to this coun-
ty, help in raising Colville to its
quota. These companies subscribed
