Radishes and Green Onions at 3 for 10c New Potatoes at 2 pounds for 25c Washlmrton has sized up James Balfour in tills way: Five feet teu and three-quarter Inches in height Weight 155 pounds or thereabout Of slender figure, with narrow shoul ders that stoop slightly, but very long, sinewy arms a figure unusually ath letic for a man of slxty-ulne years. The Balfour head is long ana narrow, with an overhanging brow, "bulging" type. It is covered wltb gray nair, ai the temples trained down to a thin skein of whiskers that extend an Inch along the cheek. ' The Balfour face Is "snarp," tnougu the mild gray blue eyes detract some what from the general impression gained when the Balfour countenance is In repose. The nose is aquiline, al most hawklike, with prominent bridge. The Balfour eyes are rainer promi nent, ordinarily steely and penetrating . wtion the Balfour Bmlle comes Into them to radiate over the entire face. This smile is Infectious "winning, " might almost be called. When the Balfour smile Is working which hi most of the time there Is little In tho expression to suggest tne "bloody Balfour" of Fenian days when the then secretary of foreign affairs for Ireland was compelled, wltn nrm nana, to stay frequent disorders. Th. Rnlfmir voice IS tUttt OI mo ora tor and linguist It possesses all the charm of the well cultivated nngiiao u..i noMcln. It Is soft modulated, al most to a whisper at times, though it is decidedly resonant when roused In public speaking. Tim i-hlef nse Mr. Balfour makes ot his brilliant power of speech is to keep it out of action most of the time. He Is an eloquent listener, his smile taking the place of speech. While engaged In oflldM missions, such as that which brings him to the t'nif.ui stnfos lho British secretary for foreign alTulrs gnrbs himself much ns ho dors when he goes to parliament. Tho chief features ot It nre a long frni'lr rnnt that linns around his knees. gray striped trousers, comfortably square toed shoes, a lilack string tie nml a nnrrow brimmed silk hat that appears to sit uncomfortably on hla head. The Balfour walk and movement suggest "the outdoor man." His stride Is long and swinging, and he moves along nt a very rapid gait. The Unlfmir diversions he Is n bach elor are hUyellng. golf and almost boyish fondness for dime novels of the "siiiillng shocker" sort and profound works on philosophy. He can recite pages of Socrates in the original. lie Bpenlts Trench. Cerinnn. Spanish, Ital ian and can make himself understood In the original tiaellc. That the distinguished statesman has a sense of humor Is Indicated by the tribute of one ot his nssoelates, who is authority for the statement that "Balfour can make a really good pun, with an Amerlcau punch, as you call If PHONE MAIN 80 PATTISON BROTHERS GROCERY TAKE TWENTY SUBMARINES. B Located by British, the Starving Crewe Surrendered. A member of the British war com mission declared In Washington that twenty German submarines and their crews were captured by the British on April 10. the day beforo tho party soiled. "nicy weren't exactly captured, either," said tho Englishman. "They had been searching for a destroyed base for days, had been suffering for food and water, and wheu our boats picked them up many of tho men were on the verge of starvation. Tho crews were quite suIhIiiihI and gladly surrendered. "England Is getting a lot more sub marines than yon people In America hnve any Idea of. "Tho submarine coinmnnders are having a rough time of It. Their bases are sought out and destroyed almost lutfnre thev nre established. Tho Brit ish know of certain buses, but they let them alone until the submarines are gone, then destroy them and leave the U boats lu a hole." Let us print your lum sals bills.

"The approval or tue new national armv bill and the president's proclama- tlon'thereuuder will be coincident. All persons within the age limits prescrib ed will be required to present them selves for registration at the customary voting' places in the voting precincts in which they have their permanent homes on a day which the president will announce. Tho probability is that from ten to fifteen days will elapse be tween approval of the bill and regis tration dav. "The governor of each state will be the chief of registraUon therein. The mnehlnerv of recistratlon in each county is to bo in charge of the sheriff, the county clem ana tne comity pnysi clan, acting ex officio, unless a different board shall be unnounccd by tne gov ernor.

"The voting place In each precinct must be prepared ror registration. Kull printed Instructions, covering every detail ot registration, will bo in tho hands of sheriffs and mayors on tho fifth day after the president's proc tarnation. In Citiee of Over 30,000 Population. "The mayor of a city containing more than 30,000 inhabitants or the officials designated by the governor therein shall, with approval ot the governor, appoint for each ward or convenient minor subdivision contain ing about 30,000 people one registra tion hoard and shall designate one offi cer of each board to perform duties similar to those Imposed on tne sher iff, as heretofore outlined. "On tho fifth day after the president has Issued his iiroclnmntlon clerks of counties and cities of over 80,000 must secure a supply ot blanks and copies of the registrations from tho sheriff or from the mayor.
