Early Draft Numbers.

The drawing of the draft numbers
in Washington, D. c., has b e n
watched with interest by everyone.
Elsewhere in this issue is partial
list from the entire district. In a
later issue a complete list will be
published. The fact that you hold
a number which has been drawn does
not mean that you will be called for
service. In due time all numbers, in
the order drawn, will be classified,
and it is quite possible that only
those who come in class one will be
called.
The 2O3rd number drawn was 81;
this number is held by Floyd Rasmus
Petersen and his position in the dist
riot list is 9.
The 582nd number drawn was 81;
this number is held by Clarence
Gronbech Hansen and his position
in the district list is 81.
The 1299th number drawn was 6;
this number is held by Svend Chris
Jensen and his position in the dist
riot is SIS.
The 1664th number drawn was
625; this number is held by j. D
Dunn and his position in the dist
riot is 81.
Thus if the first call for the one
year of military service is for sc
men from each district, then only
two Askovites would go unless de-
| ferred.
In due time everyone registered will
receive official notice from the gov
eminent This may take month OF
two; in the meantime inquiries only
cause delay.

Ten Cents Grows To $50.

Early this spring Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl X. Larsen, two miles west of
Askov, purchased 10 cents worth of
ordinary white cabbage seed and put
it in their garden patch. AS soon as
the plants were large enough they
planted them out in larger space
and were pleased to note that there
were more than 500 healthy plants.
However, they were even more pleased
few days ago when they found
that they had over 500 big heads of
healthy and sound cabbage which
weighed slightly over 5000 pounds
The present market price here on
cabbage is one cent per pound; thus
the original investment of 10 cents
for the seed plus "a considerable "a
mount of labor will net them $50
and still they will have more cabbage
left over than they can possibly ca!
all winter.

Throughout Mexico, however,

WASHINGTON, July 8. (UP)-
Two federal agencies today inves-
tigated a false SOS that the United
States destroyer Barry had been
hit by a German submarine" off
the coast of Spain.
The report gave this country a
panicky Sunday afternoon while the
Barry lay safely at anchor at Bill
bao, Spain. The American consular
staff there had lunch aboard the
ship yesterday.
The message was picked up by
Mackay radio in New York shortly
before 2 pm. and within a few
minutes was relayed into millions
of American homes over nation
wide radio hook-ups. Navy Off

excitement swept the capital al

In the resolution passed by the

proved terms of the proposed plan.
Meanwhile, the refunding pro-

1t was believed that Judge Jenney
was reserVing his decision until
rulings had been made by higher
courts regarding some principles
involved in the Imperial case.
HeWes appeared confident that
the decision would, when eventual
ly handed down, favor the district.
He appeared to have no fears that
the court would delay beyond the

I'VE have always felt that the
expiration date applied only to
when the plan was declared opera
tive and did not apply to a final
supreme court decision" he said.

Army Plans to Seek Legislation
For FORCING Manufacturers TO Work

WASHINGTON, July 8-UP)-
The army it was learned today, is
considering seeking legislation that
would enable it to compel manu-
facturers to accept orders for ma
tional defense material
1t was emphasized that no final
decision has been reached. The
army feels industry is cooperating
excellently, but the authority may
be sought as a safeguard for the
future.
Officials already have drawn up
a tentative draft of the proposed
legislation. 1t has not yet been
approved by Acting Secretary of
War Louis johnson, nor has it been
submitted to President Roosevelt.
Johnson, however. confirmed that
studies of such legislation are being
made.
johnson said that private industry
is cooperating 100 per cent and

program. and that there might not

Lost First Case to His Father
While he was still an undergrad
uate Wen got his first law train
ing. At l6 he helped his father pre-
pare the defense of two laborers
who had violated an anti-picketing
injunction. The WILKES won their
case.
In his first case after graduation
from law school, however, Wendell
had his father as opposing counsel
The summation of Wendells de-
Tense was masterpiece. 1t took
three hours to deliver.
His fathers reply was two sem
fences: I'm sure my son will make
a great lawyer. He can make SC

prophetic words won.
About this same time a new as
sistant librarian came to ElWood
Her name was Edith Wilk. She had
been a classmate of Wen's at In
diana, although they had hardly
known one another there.
Posterity has it that when Wen
met her in Elwood, he said: Miss
Wiki, I'd like to add three letters
to your name" But the obvious
ness of this bon mot does its sup
posed author an injustice.
Pretty young Miss Wilk was not
swept off her feet. She thought
blue-eyed, shaggy Mr.. Willkie was
something of a dreamer. America
was in the war before the knot was
tied.
Captain Willkie came home from
Officers Training Camp in a bliz-
card which delayed the wedding
two days. His brides bouquet, pick
ed up en- route, was still frozen stiff
when Edith Wilk marched down
the aisle on Jan. IA, 1918, "to ado
three letters" to her name.
