The governors of the various states will be asked to have the sheriffs of the counties to appoint registers to take the names of all males between the ages of nineteen and twenty-five. Those who refuse to enroll will be arrested. 2. The state officers will exempt from military ser vice "persons engaged in industries, including agricultu ral, found to the necessary to the maintenance of the mil itary establishment or the effective operation of the mili tary forces, or the maintenance of national interests dur ing the emergency." Those not exempted will be reported to the war de partment, which will make lurtlier exemptions. 4. It is estimated that by Aug. 1 the SOO.OOO men de sired will be in training camps.

His conception of a square deal for farmers is the adoption of the following program by the government: Take over the distribution system. Take over the packing plants, canneries,' flour mills, warehouses, elevators and storage phi! is. Take over the idle land held by speculating land hold ers, and distribute it among the hundreds of thousands of farmers who will make this land productive. Loan the farmers money with which to buy seed, equip ment and labor. Taking over food distribution, warehouses, etc., anil setting prices will end gambling in foods, insure both the farmer and retailer a fair profit, lower the cost of living, and give the government profit sufficient to pay the war debt. The only injured parlies would be the coinniLssion men, trade solicitors, food speculators, hoards of trades, monopolists, including millers, packers end railroads. Mr. Townley concludes: , tinii I1 inr In foodstuffs lias done more to lessen production in Amer ica than uuytlilni; else. If It is stepped yon can depend upon rapidly In creasliiK crops. I can't see bow the Koveriiiuent ran make prices us lollR as It penults miaililiim-. and as Iouk ns monopolists control the fond 111:11111 lactuilaK. transportation and inarkeilnn end. Any attempt to fix a minimum price to runners will result In greatly liicreaseil prices lo consumers, lor the bloodsuckers between producer unit consumer will ndd their toll Just the same.

Kor some the opportunity Is open today and should be seized. Many will find It throiiKli rccrulltni: sta tions, ninny through the doors of of fices or factories or hospitals, or on farms or back yards: others through the work of their hands or brains or money n the line of their dally tasks.
