This was tho good news brought to Medford Friday by Francis Kurtz of tho stnto highway depart ment who has been In the Slsklyous tho past tlireo days looking over the ground and getting materials and equipment In shape. Mr. Kuru Is the now superintendent of construction taking tho place of T. M. Ha vis who has dono excellent work on grading the Siskiyou lllghwuy the past year.

Methods Informal. ' The methods of tho registration hoards will be quite informal. The young man will be asked first if he wishes lo servo or has any reason lo ask exemption. If he desires exemp tion the examination wilt go on. He How old is your dependent unit her f Where does sbo livcf Has sho any property from which tin income is derived? How long bavo yon sup ported herf What other members of the family contribute to her sup port, and how much? What is vnur trade? How much do you cam? And so on. In most eases this information will be n matter of com in on knowl edge in the enighhorhnod. In little towns where everybody's business is known by everybody else, the answer to these questions may even be per sonally known to members of the hoard. In big cities the situation will be a little different. Examina tions tuny have to run more deeply into filets. In some eases the boards may have to tako steps to get inde pendent information, or the govern ment reprcsentnlives amy do the snme. Appeal Hoards Work, About five days, it is believed, will be enough to get Ihe information de sired. Alter this will come the work of the appeal boards, one in each judicial district. These will pass on appealed eases. Itcgiiiiiing within n few days the government will mail out forms which will be used ill milking claims for cxemplion or discharge, affidavits which must be filled out by ministers of the gospel, judges, police, mayors and other public officers. Some dissatisfaction has been voiced wilh selections made for ex emption hoards. Nearly every mem ber of congress bus had an en and nl tin1 office of the secretary of war of this sort, but little ultcitioti is paid to lliesc protests. The au thorities here assume that anv ex emption ofliccis are bound to be un satisfactory to some people. Their work is bound to be criticised, 'flic policy of the department, therefore, is to accept Ihe appointments of the governors ami to tell lite hoard- to co ahead regardless of kicks.

That's Foremost Topic of New York Gossips, Following Surpris ing Marriages of Young Million' aires to Governess and Public Dancer. ' IN"EW YORK, July 3 4. America's most romantic family has again umaz ed New York's 400, and questions are flying today on every tongue: "Will these marriages of Klngdon and Qoorge, Jr., be any happier than the Gould average?" "Will society receive Mrs. Klngdon Gould, who was an Itullun governess, and Mrs. George Gold, Jr., who was a professional dancer?" And the gossips' tongues are wag ging onco more over the varlel mari tal history of the House of Gould whose batting average In happiness la about .279. With a fine disregard for the opln. Ion of their "set," the Goulds have married and unmarried about as they pleased. George Gould, father of the boys J nut married, saw beautiful Edith Klngdon on tho stage of old Daly's theatre. He followed nor to London, and they were married In 1886. ' So ciety at first Ignored her, but when the elder Mrs, Astor bowed to her In the "golden horseshoe" of the Metro politan opera house, Edith Klngdon Gould's future In the 400 was assur ed. They have four daughters and three sons, and havo lived happily over after. ' This can't be said of all tho elder George's brothers and sisters. Frank Gould married Margaret Kelly, whose sister, Eugenia, Is the wlfo of "Al" Davis, tungo dancer. rank's two children are cared for by his sister Helen, who lute In life mar ried Flnloy J. Shepard. Margaret, di vorced, married afterward one Ralph Hill Thomas, and Is now the wife of nn Albanian prince. Frank's second wife Is Edith Kelly, actress, no rela tive of his first. Howard lould, another brother, married Katherine demons, actress. from whom he Is divorced. He Is now said to be worshipping another Amer ican actress who has been very popu lar In London for four years. A sis tor of Katherine Clomons Is tho wlfo of a San Francisco Chinaman. Edwin Gould married Sarah Shra- dy. They have two children; but It Is not recorded that the marriage was a huppy one. Anna Gould's love affairs furnished newspaper copy for a decade. Her first domance was with Harry Wood ruff, actor, who was sent to Harvard by brother Georgo that he might be come Anna's "equal." But boforo Harvard polished Harry, Anna's heart was won by Count Bonl do Castolluno. whom sho married In 1SU5. They had throe children before their divorce In 11100. Sho then married tho Duke ot Talleyrand, lloul's cousin, by whom she has two children. Helen Gould, at 45, married Flulcy Shepard. They have adopted chil dren. Tho Gould boys just married have four sisters and a brothor. Tho brothor, Jny Gould, morrled In t!)U Annlo "Douglas Graham, who Is part Hawaiian. Among the guests at their wedding was Princess Kuwana nakoa of Hawaii. Vivien Gould's marriage to Lord 1 levies, an Englishman, was a big so cial event In 1911. They havo three chlldern. Tho name of Lord lloclos' brother has been connected with Kit ty Gordon, actress, famed fur her hack. Marjorlo Gould's marriage to "To ny" Kroxol of Philadelphia in 1910 bus often been reported ns unhappy. They have three children. The other daughters are Edith, 16, and aiorlu. 1 1.

CODLING MOTH AND WHEN TO SPRAY Conditions this spring were favor able for a distinct first brood of cod ling moth. Last year tho first brood extended over a period of S to 10 weeks. Ideal weather conditions this year at tho timo of egg deposition by tho moths Is responsible for this dis tinct first brood and Is also the rea son that wo have more or leBs infes tation In some of our orchards at this time. About the usual number of moths emerged this year In two or three weeks that emerged last year In 8 or 10 weeks, and, unless tho spray was applied at the proper tlmo infection was In proportion to the tlmo ot tho spray application. In orchards that were sprayed a little early tho maximum part of tho brook entered tho fruit from one to two weeks after the spray application, which In ordinary seasons would have reunited in a very slight Infection; but, duo to the largo number of moths In the short space of time, it was not possible to protect tho fruit with one application unless timed very accurately.

Spray should not be ap plied at this time with the Idea that it will last and be effective for 30 days.
