WHAT SELECTIVE CONSCRIPTION MEANS.
SHOULD (lie liiiivcrsn) military service liill requested
ljy the president liecume a law, as seems probable when
congress pets tired of its own chin music and recognizes
the fact tliat the United States is at war, here is what will
happen:
1. The ;r;'idenl will designate by proclainalion a day
of j-cffist ration, the vol iiif; jirecinct being used its the small
est unit for enrollment. 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. In the meantime the gov
eminent must provide equipment for the recruits.
5. It is estimated that
an enrollment of 7,000,01)0,

A FARMER'S
A TOWNUKY, president
"the tanners organization which originated in North
Dakota and swept, the state at the last general election
by electing a complete ticket, says that the farmers of
America can double their crops this year and can grow ten
limes as much food next year if given a square deal. 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

Any attempt to fix a minimum price to runners will result In greatly

oilier of these three outlets, there is a
place for every loval heart.
Kor some the opportunity Is open
today and should be seized. Many
will find It throiiKli rccrulltni: sta

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.
A suburban dweller may increase
his garden plot: a city man cultivate
a corner lot: n young man enlist, an
older man organize a homo ii'iard; n
