ENGLISH TAKE TEA

LONDON. May 16. England Is
thankful that baseball and pop never
replaced cricket and tea. The tew
pop-makers are getting ready to
close up shop as a result of the sugar
shortage while tea sells In undimin
ished quantities to be drunk with
out sweetening, thus guaranteeing
the future of cricket.

The 15-cent shave Is doomed. On
June 1, according to the plans of
proprietors' of local barber shops, It
will pass Into oblivion, and the two

AU other work of the tonsorlal artists
will remain at,-tho present rate.
While the new quotation has not
yot gone into effect, Bend barbers
are practically agreed that an ad
vance Is necessary to keep pace with
increasing wages and supplies of all
kinds. Proprietors of local shops
will meet this eveuing with their
employes, and the matter will be
finally decided on. An increase in
guarantees for the men nnd shorter
hours will probably by allowed by
the employers', Changes In hours
contemplated will close all shops
at 8 o'clock at night on all evenings
excepting Snturdny, when the clos
ing hour will be 10. Half holidays
will bo allowed, according to pres

Utmost Promptness Urged in
Registering for the Draft
(Br United Presa to the Bend Bulletin) '
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 18.
The War Department made the fol
lowing announcement regarding the
registration of citizens liable to draft.
: "The War Department wishes to
Impress upon the people that there
is only one day for registration. ;A11
males between the designated ages
must register on the day set.- The
fact that five days were allowed tor
the placing ot the necessary blanks
In tho hands ot the registers appears
to have misled some headline writ
ers. One day only the day fixed in
the President's proclamation will be
devoted to registration.
"The War Department Is grati
fied by the spontaneous offers ot
uncompensated assistance in carry
ing out the work of registration.
"One father in offering to serve
ns registrar, writes, 'I have two sons
in the guard and one in the regular
army, but I want to do my little bit.'
This is typical ot hundreds of let
tors. All such offers properly should
be made to the governors, who are
the heads ot registration machinery
In their respective states. v ,
"It should be clearly understood
that no male resident of the United
Stutcs between the designated ages
Is excepted from registration unless
he Is already In the military or naval
service of the United States; that Is,
a member of the regular army or
navy, tho marine corps, coast guard
service or that part ot the national
guard now actually In the federal
service. Registration is distinct from
selective service. Registration Is a

ponents may expect at the Joint de
bate at the Hippodrome tonight, E.
J. Adams, member ot the State High
way commission, in a. brief addreaa
before the Bend Commercial club at
the Pilot Butte Inn this noon, de
clared that the spirit of progress de
mands that wagon roads give way to

by Labor, which he said assert that

propriation will be graft, which em
body personal attacks on S. Benson,
chalrma not the highway commis

of the appropriation will be spent In
Deschutes county, Mr. Adams char
acterized as "most peculiar."
Asks Concerted Action. i
"Oregon is worth while. It Is
worth your best efforts, and miqe,
to push It ahead in the procession of

thing in Oregon Is the lack of con
fidence.' We must develop a com
munity spirit. Until we put our foot
on the viperous utterances of irre
sponsible people, put a stop .to this
assassination ' of character, we, will
never get anywhere. We must decide

necesary preliminary to the later
process of selection.
"It is useless to ask the registrars
to excuse anyone from registration.
Te registrar has no such powers. No
one can suspend the law requiring
all to register.
"It is important that all shall un
derstand the significance ot regis
tration and It is hoped that the day
will be approached in the spirit with
which the government has appointed
It . Democracy Is its essence. No
person can absent himself, nor can
the well-to-do man hire another to
represent him on the occasion. The
country's manhood will present It
self on this day and by so doing will
say In effect, 'Here I am, take me.'
"Not only has the Individual cit-

able response to the registration call,
but the states, through their official
heads, have Indicated such i.eu.1 that
there is great rivalry among some of
the commonwealths for the honor ot
making the first complete registra

"Many questions are asked ..dally
at the War Department concerning
the registration of traveling men. and
other absentees. On the sixth day
after the date of tho President's proc
