TO LIST 10 THE KAISER WASHINGTON'. June 5. Today, on the anniversary of America's first manpower mobilization, another mil lion youths, the estimated strength of the class of 1918, register on the first station of the journey to the col ors. When their draft registration cards come into their hands, they come to the disposition of a swift, smoothly working and practiced organization, whose agencies In eery country-side, hamlet, and city of the land have as sumed successfully the task of dis criminating between the nation's need for men who can fight or work, and its additional need for men at home to support its dependent popu lation. Spells (iernuiny's Doom .,, Observers, foreign and domestic, military and civilian nlliio, class the performance to date undor the Amer ican selective law as the most tan gibly successful of Its military ef forts, and regard the accretion to the manpower reservoir of the young sters who had not reached their ma jority one year ago as the most cer tain assurance of the final downfall of the Prussian autocracy. Be it near or far, the day of allied victory can not be evaded, the practical military view is, so long as the rising flood of the American armies, drilled, equip ped and equipping, can be turned to the European battlefront. 75 Per Cent Kffortivo Provost-Marshal General Crowder, who supervises the draft, fixes the tentative number given above for the day's new total, and llkowise from the experience tables of tho year places tho number of potential sol diers to bo added to the list today at 750,000, concluding that the class will be 75 per cent composed of mili tary effectives. As they assemble at the registering stations today, the total of men rais ed by the draft in the United States for its armies will pass 1,300,000. Be fore tho end of the present month, the mobilized total will have passed 1,500,000, for the Immense military machine that owes its existence to the readinoss of plain Americans to fight Is moving forward to a goal that will meet President Wilson's de mand for "force force to tho utmost, and force without stint." The 4500 local boards thruo.it the country who take the burden of "the work have named registering clerks for every 100 of the young men with in their Jurisdiction. Men absent un avoidably from their homes on regis tering day may apply to any board for their cards. Xomes as recorded will pass Into the existing classifica tions of registered men and, in ac cordance with their physical qualifi cations, their status as td dependents and as to Industrial or agricultural occupations, they will be assigned to class one, two. three, four, or five. The overwhelming majority, however as indicated by the estimate given. the provost marshal general expects to find placed in class one. Call Only In Turn They will go to the foot of the list of 1917 registrants In each class, and will not be called, the regulations provide, until those above them have been taken, unless by trade or educa tion they are fitted or specialized army service, then they may bo called sooner. The system of determining the order of their cnll as among them selves the provost marshal general has not yet fixed, but the general ex pectatlon Is that some sort of a lot- tory of the type previously used, will be conducted on a national scale. Yet of this officials are not certain, be cause the recurring draft calls come more .swiftly, and run to larger totabs now, and the classification has come to be more important than tho num hers. A late order number will serve only to postpone for a few days the Inevitable call to the training camps. National purpose to see that no in dlviduals evade service Is expressed in the regulations, wherein are voiced the command of the government to peace officers of all descriptions. United States marshals, secret ser vice men, and city police, that they shall assist exemption boards In scan ning lists and combing out attempt ed evaders of' tho registration. Figures available show that no other country participating in the great war has the actual resources In men that the United States has Against the provost marshal gen- oral's estimate of 1,000,000 for the American military class of 1918 which Is added to the almost 10,000,. 000 total of 1917, can be placed the German annual Increment of 600,000 the French of 400,000, and the Ital ian of 3."i0,000. And all thesa classes In other countries have been called in advance. Washington Use of steel for auto mobile license plates Is to be re stricted. CLOWNS MUST PASS AROUND ''Here comes the clowns," suy the town folks, i "The joeys are at it now," rcniurl: the men on the "front door," nr niiiin entrance to the circus, and they can tell by the rollicking music ol'.the bi;j show bund. People with tho show don't have to look into the big tup to tell Mint acts are on they iden tify them by the tnnsie. And "joeys" are clowns, you know. Nobody knows where they got the name, but it was an old name before the first 'American circus in the sev enteen seventies. With the Sells r'loto circus coming to Medford Juno 8. there are sotiie -111 clowns itml they all wear full moon smiles jit! like the chap in the picture. And u clown doesn't lust long with this circus if he fails to bring just such .smiles to the faces of the grown-ups nnd full chested laughs from the kiddies. In the two-inile street purntle the clowns, with their baud instruments, ride little Rocky mountain burrows, to the great deJight of the hoys and mrls of the laud. And the clowns can play, too. In the opening spectacle o the performances, "The Ilirth (if the Rainbow,'' in which (II0 people. including scores of bullet girts and JtJO animals lake purl, the (downs are PLANT POTATOES CAN'T SELL EXPERT'S ADVICE CORVAM.IS, Or., June !i "When you can't sell potatoes, plant them," is a saying of one of tho best known and most -successful potato planters In Oregon. The Oregon Agricultural college Is advising as liberal planting of pota toes as possible. When potutoes are so cheap that it is difficult to sell thorn, many farmers decreaso their acreage or drop tho potato business entirely, nceordlng to ProTessor Hys lop of tho O. A. C. This results us ually within a year In so Bhort an acreage that only an excoptloual.yleld per aero will provide enough pota toes. Such a crop often coimunnds a rather high price, because of actual scarcity. When potatoes aro scarce and tho price Is high dozens of farmers go out and buy seed at fancy prices and In crease their acreage, says tho agri cultural expert. This, carried out over the entire state or nation results In an enormous increase In acreage and In tho available supply of pota toes and In low prices. The Oregon acreage was large In 191C, an unus ual potato year. A potato failure In the eastern states resulted In nn un usual market. The unusual exper ience of a big crop and high prices here resulted. The next year, 1917, it Is pointed out, saw tho entire United States planting potatoes in abnormal quan tities and Oregon fairly outdid hor sclf in tho planting of high priced seed. Conditions reversed. We had an enormous acreago and a floor sen son. Eastern states had an enorm ous acreago and a good yield per acre. Our surplus had to be market ed elsewhere. While the yield per aero was small tho surplus, due to our very largo 1917 acreagae, was not salable for good prices in many in stances Literally thousands of bushels of potatoes aro left In Orego"n and the 1918 planting promises to be small. There are still many acres of land in the Willamette valley, the lower Co lumbia and the coast that may be put into potatoes. Carefully sorted and treated seed stork planted almost any time from now until tho first of July, on reasonably good land, offers many opportunities for nice returns. Kven later planting on Columbia ovorflow land Is permissible. The Oregon Agricultural college did not encourago field planting of potutoes In 1917 because It was sure tho planting waft being overdone. In 1 9 1 S 1he college advises liberal plant ing of fields ot potatoes In both east ern and western Oregon. I'lant at least some of the potatoes you can not sell, Is tho advice of tho agricul tural exports. BAKER CALLS FORI WASHINGTON', June 5.
