NEW POLICY IS WHO ARE THOBE WITHOUT FAMILIE3 DEPENDENT UPON THEM FOR LIVING. All Man Who Have Raaohed flat Birthday Since Jane 9 Are Required to Register. Washington.—All men tor the war armies still to be raised by the United States will come from Class 1 under the new selective service plan. That means the nation's lighting is to be done by young men without families dependent upon their labor (or sup port and unskilled in neeessary indus trial or agricultural work. Provost Marshal General Crowjcr announces the new policy in an ex haustive report upon the operation ot the selective draft law submitted to Secretary Baker and sent to Congress. He says Class 1 should provide men tor all military needs of the country, and to accomplish that Object urges amendment of the draft law so n& to provide that all men who have reach ed their 21st birthdays since June o, 1917, shall be required to register tor classification. Also, in the Interest of fair distribution of the military bur den, he proposes that the quotas of states or districts be determined hereafter on the basis ot number ot men in Class 1 and not upon popula tion. Available figures indicate, the re port says, that there are »1,000,000 physically and otherwise qualified men under the present regulation who will be fou&d In Class 1 when all ques tionnaires have been returned and the classification period ends February IS. To this the extension of registration to men turning 21 since June I ot last year and thereafter will add 700,000 effective men a year. Clasß 1 comprises: Single men without dependent rela tives, married men who have habitual ly failed to support their families, who are dependent upon wives for support or not usefully engaged, and whose families are supported by incomes independent of their labor; unskilled farm laborers, unskilled industrial la borers, registrants by or in respect of whom no deferred classification is claimed or made, registrants who tall to submit questionnaire and In respect of whom no deferred classification is claimed or made, and all registrants not Included In any other division of the schedule. Narrowed down under the analysis of the first draft made in the report, the plan places upon unattached single men and married men with Indepen dent Incomes most of the weight of military duty, for the aggregate num ber of men in the other divisions of Class 1 is very small.

Washington.—Legislation to regu- I late the government operation of rail roads and to guarantee the carriers compensation on the hula of their average 'operating Income for the laat three years waa aaked of Congress by Prealdent Wilson In an addreaa to both houaes In- joint session. Bills embodying his recommendations and carrying an appropriation of a half | billion dollars aa • "revolving fund" > were Introduced Immediately «md an I attempt will be made to rush them I to prompt passage. | Whlla the prealdent'a addreaa met : with general approval among demo ! crats and republicans alike, opposl- I tion Is expected to develop to a pro | vision In the administration bill that j federal control shall continue after the war Indefinitely or until congress 1 orders otherwise and other detaila of j the compensation baala. The plan will affect immediately only the wage requeata of the broth erhoods but demands which may be made later by other classes of organis ed labor probably will be handled In the aame way, Mr, McAdoo reserving the right to make whatever dadalon he chooeea without regard to recom mendations of the advisers. Some Increases, both to the broth -erhoods and to other railway labor, are generally considered certain. The director general la a statement prom teed every employee "that his rtghta and intereata will be foatly dealt 1 with." and appealed for.. a hearty i -spirit of enthuslaem and cooperation ■ from every one. Efforts to speed the movement of 1 coal and other freight continued along ' with the legialatlve and labor phaaea I of the railway movement and apeclal ordera were laaned providing that SOO I additional cara shall be furnlabed dally - to a certain specified bituminous and anthracite mines, mainly In Pennsyl i vania, for supplying New England. These problems forced Mr. Mc- Adoo to postpone action on oastern passenger traffic officiate' recommen datlona for curtailment of passenger schedules but he la expected to Issue orders then for abandonment of a number of traina and elimination of parlor and aleeplng oars to a great extent. Mr. McAdoo explained today that although no general provisions caa be made under the law for exempting railroad employes from the draft, he will not heettate to appeal to local exemption boards to defer the calling of theae workers If the boarda of their own violltlon do not display a ten dency to regard the railroad a aa an eaeentlal lodes try from which em 'ployeea should net be taken for mili tary service. When the president concluded, the administration Mil waa Introduced in the aenate by Senator Smith, of Bouth Carolina, ranking Democratic mem ber of the Interstate commerce com mittee. In addition to approppriatlng 600,000,000 and providing for the compensation baala under which the government guarantees an aggregate return of aome 1900,000,000 a year, the measure sets forth In detail the conditions upon which government operation la to be carried on. Under the last provision the pres- Ident Is expected to issue an order transferring to Director Oeneral Mc- Adoo all functlona veated In the chief executive. This will enable the dlrec ' tor general to organise a corporation I for handling railroad eecuritlea In ac - cordance with a plan now under oon ■ Railroad oHflcrtte to urge a number of modifications of the accounting method preacrlbed by the bill for reaching the atandard return baals, but offlclala expect the scheme aa outlined In the bill probably will be followed In the main. Some dis cussion Is looked for over the bill's provision that new federal taxes un der the war revenue act are not to be charged against the revenue In computing the standard return aa are ordinary taxes. The effect of this will be to require railroad* to pay war taxea out of their governmental compensation.

In addition to the live stock that are already kept thereon. For a period of 23 yeara I have been engaged In gen eral farming and atockralslng where I now reside. ' I have been ralalng horses, cattle and hoga during thla en tire period, and for tha laat 10 years I have kept from 100 to 120 breeding ewes of the mutton type. I hsve en deavored to produce aa good stock of all kinds as I could, snd to keep them In the most profitable manner. I have found no other claaa of live stock more profitable In dollara and centa than tha aheep. Aalde from thla fact, I find that I can now keep aa much other Stock aa formerly In addition to the ■heep. Some of my flelda produce twice aa much grain as formerly, and my graaa lands are much more productive than they were. There la no great mystery connected with the care of the farm flock, but there la more to do than to purchaae a flock and turn them out to shift for themselves without proper at tention and shelter, If one expects to fdd to bis bank account.
