LOCAL BOARDS TO DECIDE War Department May Offer Sugges tions Regarding Occupational CausesDefectives Probably Previously Eliminated. WASHINGTON. June 27.

It is understood that the regulations "will map out only the general pro cedure of - the boards, the personnel of which already has been announced. It is regarded as certain that no spe cific class exemptions will be provided for, and that each man will be ap praised on his individual occupation and physical capacity when his name Is called and he is summoned before t-he local boards. Physicians M ill Have Say. As a matter of course, no man with serious physical defects will be called upon for military service. Crippled or defective persons among those who were registered were noted at the time and it la possible they already have been dropped from the rolls. The Judgment of the civilian doctors who are attached to local exemption boards as to the ability of any individual to bear the hardships of a soldier's life will be a determining factor. Married men will not be exempted as a class. In each case the object of the board will be to determine whether the dependency of wife, children or other relatives upon any man is so complete as to warrant his rejection as soldier. Advice May Be Given Boards. Probably the boards will be fur nished with suggestions as to occupa tional exemption. The Government can outline generally the professions or trades, which must be maintained at full strength behind the fighting lines. The importance of an individual in that profession or trade, however, can only be determined by the local board. No inkling has been given as to the part to be assigned to those to whom will be granted partial exemption be cause of relierious beliefs.

FOES CONSIDER FILIBUSTER Amended House Measure Generally Regarded Acceptable, Except for Prohibition Feature, on Which "Fight Will Be Made. "WASHINGTON, June 27. Food con trol legislation assumed new and more drastic form today when the Senate agriculture committee virtually re drafted many of the principal features of the H0UB6 measure and reported it. 1, 'a t with material extensions of Government power and a new "bone dry" prohibi tion provision to stop manufacture of Intoxicating beverages during the war. The President would be authorised to permit wine making and to , com mandeer existing distilled spirits. The amended bill was presented to the Senate by Senator Chamberlain. He will move tomorrow to have it substi tuted for the draft the Senate has been debating and proceed with all expedi tion toward final action. Early Faatafe Precluded. The new prohibition plan, all leaders admitted tonight, greatly complicates the situation and precludes enactment of this legislation by July 15. In extending the scope of the legis lation and the President's ''powers, the committee adopted amendments which would provide for Government control, in addition to food, feeds and fuel, of Iron, steel, copper and their products, farm implements and machinery, fer tilizers and binding twine materials. Other important amendments ap proved would authorize the Govern ment to take over and operate fac tories, packing-houses, oil wells and mines, regulating wages of their em ployes and to commandeer supplies of any kind when needed for the Army and Navy, "or any other public use con nected with the public difense." Civilian Use Provided. Another would empower the Govern ment to buy and sell for general ci vilian purposes food, feeds and fuels with limitation upon the general leg islation, ' making it apply to agencies and products only in interstate or for eign commerce. The amendments are declared by Senators who have been opposing as well as those supporting the legisla tion to improve the bill and remove almost all opposition except upon pro hibition. The prohibition section was written into the bill by a vote of 9 to 7. The committee rejected 8 to 7 its sub-committee's recommendation that authority be given the President to permit con tinuance of manufacture of malt and fermented beverages. While the committee was revising the House or Lever measure. Senate debate on the original Chamberlain draft was suspended. Filibuster Is Considered. The possibility of a filibuster be cause of the drastic prohibition pro posal is being considered.

The proposed blanket power for Government requisition provides: The "President is authorized to re quisition foods, feeds, fuels and other supplies necessary to the support of the Army or the maintenance of the Navjr, or any other public use con nected with the common defense. Un der this the committee proposes to nlv to the Government power to take at a Just price any supplies needed for mil itary purposes, or, broadly, for the purpose the defense needs. The provision for commandeering of factories, packing-houses, oil wells and other plants for military or public de fense purposes also would authorize their operation.

Representative Sin nott today received telegrams from State Engineer Lewis, Attorney-General Brown-, President Hinkl of the Oregon Irrigation Congress, and others strongly urging the adoption by Con gress of his amendment to the food control bill appropriating 120,000,000 for reclamation works. They point out that such an appro priation would mean a vast addition to the productive possibilities of the country, and assert that such an ap propriation will do more to increase grain, beef and wool production in 1918 and thereafter than any other feature of the food bill, and will do much to prevent a food shortage.

M ETZGER, GRAXDDACGHTER, WHO H Why pay $25.00 to $35.00 for Suits at other stores value Chesterfield Suits here OUR Every Day in the Year? Why pay $40.00 and $45.00 for Suits at other stores when you can buy Chesterfield Suits of equal value here at OUR Every Day in the Year? This is made possible through our profit-sharing plan which enables each customer to save more than one-half the profit they must pay other stores. This is necessarily a cash policy each customer pays the cash and is treated equal in all respects. No more special sales. Through this policy we can do twice the business without increasing overhead expense one dollar. Why not come and investigate this proposition for yourself?
