The new regulations cut away most of the ground on which deferred clas sifications were granted o men who registered last year and then mar lied before being classified. They also make it all but impossible for the young married man who register ed on June flth of this year to claim exemption. A child in the home, born or unborn June 9, 11)18, serves as the only dependency claim that will be recognized on the part of such mien. The new rules received are these: The fact of dependency resulting from the marriage of a registrant. v!v had become 21 years of age since June 1 1!H7, and who has married since, the date of the introduction of the joint resolution in Conrgses re quiring h.'s registration, to-wit, Jan uary 1.1, r.MX, will be disregarded as a ground fo;1 deferred classification If a registrant who has attained the a ge of 21 since June f, l!tl7,and who has contracted marriage subse quent to the date of the enactment of the selective service Iav,towit,May 1R, 1017, but on or prior to January 15 l'JIS, claims deferred classifica tion on tho ground of depency result ing from his marriage, the fact of dependency resulting from his mar riage will be disregarded as a ground for deferred classification unless the dependent is a child of the marriage horn or unborn on or prior to June 0, 1 IMS, in which case such registrant upon satisfactory proof being made, shall be classified in Class 2. If a registrant other than one who has attained the age of 21 years since June 1, 1917, who has contrac ted marriage since May 18, 1917, claims. uLCmrfetf cassifjea. -on. fh ground of dependency resulting trom his marriage, the fact of edpenden cy resulting from his marriage will be disregarded as a ground for de ferred classification, unless the de pendent is a child of the marriage born or unborn on or before June tl I'.HS, in which case such a regis trant upon satisfactory proof being made shall he placed in Class 2. Nothing contained in the amend ment to Rule V shall he construed as requiring the transfer to Class 2 of any registrant who has been finally classified in Class 1 on the affirma tive finding that his marriage since May 18, 1817, was made with hte primary view of evading military service. HELP ON J FARMS SHORT This ALL ABOARD FOR KINGS VALLEY Citizens, of Independence and Kings Valley to Vie With Each Other in Celebrating the Fuorth. is a Fine Time for Wihh..riu Co-Operation and Temporary . is Hadly Needed. The following communication has herl sent us by a Polk county farm er: jj "To the Farmers of Poik County: ' "Vou have been encouraged to take trme to test your seed to prepare the seed, bed with more than th uunni caris; and to delay planting until the soil is thoroughly warmed. Now you fate another difl'icultyMen are scarce and although some more fortunate have plenty of help, others have not and' will be late getting the corn out. This is a line time for neighborly co opeftition and as the season advances the need of temporary help will be very pressing on many farms. ' Help yoi.- neighbor out in his pinch now. If youj have your grain planted there is nothing you can do that is more im-poi-tant than helping your neighbor get j ,m; crop in. You will need his help before the summer is over and he .will be glad to give it. Neighbor ing co-operation will not only enable yoil to get your work done at the proper-season, but will save expense. Pa r ticuJarty in the matter of expensive machinery, that is used but a few days each' year. "et us revive a custom of our fath ers fand grandfathers who met just such emergencies in this manner with marked success. These customs have bee-dropped because their need was not; pressing and each farmer took pried in his ability to get his work done;py his own efforts and by hiring. It "may not be possible to hire the ex tra men this year and when the draft takei more of the farm boys you face a serious shortage of labor late in the season, and for next year, unless vou do organize to help each other. "If your sons or men are in the draft take a high school boy this summer and teach him how to farm. He will came to you next year a good capable hand .The prospects . are that the draft' age may be raised so that men heiafore nptv4fgcted,.by the'draft may be taken before another yeai Uncle Sam needs the men and must have them. They need food and must have it. The farmer must produce it He must have labor and it must be older men and boys under draft age. Get a boy now and be perpared for the coming emergency.

PLAN STARTED IN NEW YORK. THE UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATION SAYS: Food saving is in its essence th daily individual service of all tho people. Every group can substi tute, and even the great majority -of thrifty people can save a little and the more luxurious elements of the population can, by reduc tion to simple living, save much. This means no more than that we should eat plenty, but wisely and without waste. HOME BURNING IS A MYSTERY.

At that time I'had finished my morning work and gone over to Mrs. Henderson's where I sat and knit un til about 9. Then I went home to lock up to go with my little girl to the parade. I went through the kitchen in leaving the house and that is the only room that had had a fire that morning. The fire was out. There was no smoke and no heat in the room "I went back with the firemen when the ala:.-m was gven and when we reached there the house was in flames all over. Al the down stairs and win dows were shut and locked when I left." The past week has been rather a sad one for Mrs. Hewitt.

The women of America, who an anxious to do their great part In the winning of the war, are now, as a whole, familiar with the most lmpor tant aspects of food conservation. The Home Card, both In Its original form and in the revised edition for 1918, wnicn provides lor two wheatless days, one meatless day a week, In addition to a wheatless meal every day, has been placed by the Food Administration aft er a vigorous camnaljrn In 10.600.000 American homes. An Intelligent and conscientious observance of the Hom Card's requirements Is all the Food Administration asks of the housewives of the country. The Food Administration has had a great many requests, however, particu larly from the homes of the well-to-do, that it shoul(,issue a worked out plan ror a voluntary system of rationing. This desire for a voluntary ration springs from two causes first, be cause It is far simpler for the house wlfa to save food when she has a con. crste working plan by which to pro ceed, and, second, btfeaust the' loyal women of America desire, unselfishly, to put themselves on the same basij as the women of, the Allied countries. The ration proposed by the Food Ad ministration is almost the same aa that adopted In England for Voluntary observance. All over the United King dom, In hundreds of houses there hangs In the front window a -card with the stirring pledge, "IN HONOR BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION. AL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RA TIONS." The ration recommended by the Food Administration, and adopted first In New York city, whence the idea hug l--8pad through the entire counter, is the following 1 Weekly Allowance Per Person. Meat Beef (fresh, salted, tin ned and hashed) ; mutton, lamb and veal (mutton by preference) .t;. Butter looking Fats (margarine, lard, lard substitutes, vegetable oils) Wheat Flour (for use in cook ing gravies, etc., where corn starch, cracker dust or bread crumbs cannot be substituted) Victory Bread (containing at lei: st 20 per cent, of a sub stitute for wheat flour).,.. 1 Sugar (including all sugar used on the table and In cooking and all sweatmeats ami candies, but not that used for canning and pre serving) lb. The Items listed above are the only Hies which are definitely limited. In be case of milk and cream, as much amy be used as necessary, nnd chll Iron, of course, must have their full ;i!!ovance of whole milk. Fish and poultry, any cereal other than wheat, vegetables nnd fruits and cheese may infused as freely as Is desired.- The above ration is in no wise in : ended to supplant the Home Card, 'Kit rather to supplement It. It has been published with the Idea that It ivill be n very real aid to the Ameri can woman In her splendid effort to farry out the great food conservation iirograin. CALIFORNIANS 2 lbs. lb.

A group of 247 enlisted men from California will come to the Oregon, Agricultural College for training in auto mechanics, carpentry, blacksmith ing and wirless. They will be in com mand of a military" officer and devote two hours a' day to military "drill. Their work will be completed August loth, when a new unit of 500 men will begin like course. New barricks and mess halls will have to be erected to care, for the extra men during regu lar college work, which will not be af- , JTected by the army training. l'r. V. J. Kerr of the Oregon Agri cultural College has been asked by the government ,f continue his series of war-and-food talks in different sec tions of the country. v "No need to ask," said he, "for whatever, interests are entrusted to our charge we shall simply wire the g-overnment that we shall cargfor them, No one claims to see, where the war will be won in a year or in five years, and we must'go on build ing: up resources and morals to back up the. boys now gathering at ; the front MEN MUST DO PRODUCTIVE WORK Every Man able to Work Must Get at It Leaving Light Jobs For the' Women.

"I have had excellent results in con trol of maggots on radishes turnips, cabbage kale and cauliflower by use of kreso' No. 1 sheep dip," reports a Corvallis grower. "I diluted at the rate of l-to-5o as you recommended, and for the first time in years produc ed plants free of maggo.ts, in unpro tected places." "We are getting many favorable reports such as this while other growers report injury," says Prof. A. L. Lovett, entomologist at O. A. C. "Sheep dips Vary in con cenrtation and where other dips are used it is probably well to begin with a dilution of l-to-125." E. K. PIASECKI, Lawyer, Dallas, Oregon. Probating of Wills and Set tlement of Estates a Specialty. 6tf The "work or fight" order, soon to be enforced, will probably have con siderable to do with a number of men in all towns who are married and who have been given classification by the local exemption board, which puts them into classes two, thi-ee or fuor, Th,:s refers tomarried men. The local exemption board has re ceived instructions that cases of with drawal of deferred classification are to be considered with sympathy and also with common sense and that the board will be given a positive defini tion as to occupations that are nonproductive For instance a married man may be in one of the non-productive lines, such as waiter at a hotel or cafe, or engaged in serving drinks. If he will take the suggestion of the local borad and engage in a productive business or occupation, his deferred classifica tion will remain the same. If not, he will be placed in Class 1. The government is going after able bodied registrants who are married and who are in non-productive lines, and according to instructions receiv ed by the chairman of the local board these are: Persons engaged in serving drinks in public places or hotels. Women can do their work. Persons engaged as elevator oper ators, door and carriage men, drivei-3 of ears of pleasure. Women can do their work. Persons engaged in ushering, and those occupied in games of sport and amusement, except actual performers. Persons, which of course means married men, who are in domestic service. Married men who are sales clerks and other clerks employed in stores and other mercantile establishments. This applies to stores where women could wait on the trade. A married man in this line of work will be ask ed to go into something productive such as ship yard work, or have his classification changed to Class 1. These new rules go into effect July 1st, when married men in the above non-productive pursuits will probably be asked to talk it over with the local exemption board WOOD SAWING PRICES.
