President .Make Formal Order r
Drawing AH Yolunteers Will lie
Credited to Stale Furnishing; Them
Full Arnds Will Be e .Million
and a Quarter.
A formal order by President Wil
son drafting 687.00 men into the mil
itary service under the selective con
scription law, was promulgated by
the war department Friday together
with an official allotment showing
what part of the total must be fur
nished by each state and territory.
The only steps now remaining are
distributing by the governors of state
quotas among the local exemption
districts and the great lottery, which
probably will be held next week, and
which will establish the order in
which registrants are to present
themselves for service or exemption.
The men summoned for service will
be used to fill the regular army and
national guard to war strength and
to organize the first 500,000 of the
new national army. The total of
these three forces will be 1,202.985
men. Later another 5,000 will be
called out, supplemented by sufficient
men to make.up losses and maintain
reserve battalions.
In computing the number of men
to be reauired from the various
states, the government put to the
credit of each state every man it now
has in the national guard and every
man it has contributed since April 1
as a war volunteer to the regular
army.
Apportionment Hasis,
Tlacing on the debit side of the
ledger the national army 500.000. the
entire national guard at war strength
and the number of war volunteers
needed April 1. last, to bring the reg
ulars up to war strength, the grand
total was apportioned according to
population. This gave a gross quota
for each state, from which a net
quota was computed by checking oft
the number of national guardsmen
available for federal service and the
number of men given by the state to
the regular army since April 1. The
apportionment was made on the ba
fis of an estimated grand total for
the United States and its possessions,
of 105.366.056 inhabitants. This is
a paper estimate, computed from reg
istration returns, which comes witmn
the law requiring distribution of quo
tas by population, but which equal
izes in a great measure the burden
that is to fall upon the 4,559 exemp
tion districts. Each will furnish un
der this apportionment the men its
total registration would Indicate as a
fair rroportlon, rather than the ac
tual ntpulatlon in the district would
indicay. The total of these gross
ciuotasls 1.152,985 men. Credit is
given tl the various states for a total
of 465,185 voluntary enlistments in
the nat tnal guard and regulars
ma' Ing the total net quota for all
stalls 687 000.
Followiig are the net and gross
quotas for the southern states:
State. Net. Gross
Florida 6.325 10.1
Georgia 18,337 27,209
Kentucky 14,236 22,152
Louisiana 13.582
Mississippi 10,801

23,486
15,147
22,158
48,116
21,354
Comparison between the gross and
net quotas shows what any state has
done in furnishing troops by the vol
untary system. Oregon's gross quo
ta is 7,727 men, but the state has 4,
683 national guardsmen and has giv
en 1,974 war recruits for the regular
army. In all, Oregon had credit for
6,657 volunteers to apply against her
gioss quota, which reduced her net
quota to 717 men.
Arizona, on the other hand, with a
gross quota of 4,478 men, has only
727 in the national guard and has re
cruited only 171 men since April
for the regulars, making the state's
net quota, after adjustment, 3,472.
New York, with the maximum pop
ulation and a gross quota of 122,424
men, rurnished a otal of 52971 vol
unteers during the ree months, in
eluding her existing force of 23,495
guardsmen. Her net quota, there
fore, is reduced to 69,241.

"The reign of the Industrial Work

railroad yards and watched two cat

In the distance. There were 67 men
In the cars, all reputed to be mem
bers of the Industrial Workers of

companied them to see that they did
not come back. The cars were hook
ed to a locomotive and the short
train was run as an "extra." Its des
tination being Jerome Junction, 27
miles away.
Deportation of the men came af
ter a "drive in which hundreds or
miners and other citizens, all arm
ed, participated with the object of
"cleaning up" the town. All of the
men wore considered by Jerome city
officials to be "undesirables," be
cause of the strike called In the cop

branch of the industrial Workers of

CAXTEI.OI PES AT PAG FLAX U
Farmer Went Into the Crop Vl,'e
Extensively This Year and Have
Formed tin Association and Ar
ranged Packing House.
Some of the farmers around Page
land this year went Into the business
of growing canteloupes and water
melons for shipment. They went in
to it in a businesslike way, by form
ing an organization to market and
unanging a packing nouse at race
land. Those interested planted a to
tal of about three hundred acres as
a trial. The acreage is mostly in one
and two acre plots and only one man
has so manv as five acres. About sev-
entv-five men are interested. Mr. A.
F. Funderbuik is president and A.r.
Curtis Parker secretary of the Melon
Association. Ten cars have so far
been shipped. They are shipped in
refrigerator ears just like the older
sections handle their products. The
section around Pageland is admirably
adapted to melons. For years "South
Carolina watermelons" nave oeen
sold on the local markets and have
:ilu:iv been amone the best to be
had. This movement unquestionably
means a great deal for that section
It is the firs', effort to break away
from the one idea of cotton. W hen
it shall have been developed and fol
lowed bv the cultivation of tobacco,
the folks to the r.outh cf us will wal
low in money. Melons and tobacco
fit in admirably with cuLon. They
are nuick money crops and where la
bor is reasonably plentiful take little
off the cotton acreage. Several years
ago a large canteloupe grower came
to this countv prospecting, tie rouna
certain sections, largely around w ax
haw, ideally adapted to canteloupes,
but for some reason did not get me
people Interested and the man moved
on. All that is necessary in intro
ducing a new crop is to go at it like
the Pageland people have startea
Get enough farmers In a locality to
start together and perfect the market
avmneenients before the crop is
crown.
Mr. Funderburk is nauiug meions
to Monroe for the local tra'e and
states that he will he here every day
with a load during the season. He
has a trailer to fasten behind .his
car. and comes with a big load in a
Jiffy.
GFRMAX TTKMOIL XOT ENDED
Resignation, of the Chancellor Deller-
td to Be But the Beginning, J ,!
London, July 14. The political
turmoil which has been convulsing
Germany ever since Russia's first
startling success on the resumption of
her offensive, has culminated for the
r.rescnt In the resignation of the nn
i.erii'I chancellor. D". vu;: Beth
mann-Hollweg. Dut an indications
serve to show that his resignation,
far from being the last act In the
drama, is but the beginning of far
reaching developments which are
bound to affect the fabric of the Ger
man empire on the progress of the
European struggle.
The resignation of the chancellor
came in the end quite unexpectedly,
for Dr. vonn Bethmann-Hollweg. in
the prolonged party discussions and
heated debates of the main commit
tee of the reichstag, which have been
proceeding all through the week,
seemed to have triumphed over his
opponents, who have been clamoring
for his head, by making concessions
which were tantamount to the for
mation of a kind of Imperial coali
tion ministry.
At the same time, the cnanceiior.
bv the declaration that Germany wn
del'ensivelv fighting for the freedom
of her territorial possessions, evolved
a formula that seemed satisfactory
to both sides who clamored for peace
hv agreement, and those who de
manded repudiation of the formula,
"no annexations and no indemni
ties."
Supported by Kaiser.
In all this, Dr. vonn Bethmann
Hollweg was strongly barked by the
emperor. The advent of the crown
prince upon the scene, summoned by
his impperial father to share the de
liberations affecting the future of the
dynasty, seems to have changed en
tirely the position with regard to the
imperial chancellor. The crown
prince at once took a leading part in
the discussions with the party lead
ers, and his ancient hostility toward
Dr. von Bethman-Hollweg, coupled
with his notorious dislike for politi
cal reform, undoubtedly precipitated
the chancellor's resignation.
The fact that Field Marshal von
Hindenburg. chief of staff, and Gen
eral von Ludendorff, first quarter
master general, have been most
prominent throughout these discus
sions, and that a section of the press
has been clamoring for a Joint-dicta
torship by them, hardly augurs well
for the realization of t'-e Prussian
franchise reform, which the emperor
has Just decreed, or for the moment
toward a dimunition of Germany's
war alms, and therefore toward
peace, on which the Austrian emper
or has been doing his utmost to per
suade th? German emperor to em
bark. The Bavarian ministers have been
among the most active in Berlin con
fabulations, and the fact that the
Centre Catholic party has rallied In
the peace go.-pel preached by Mathl.is
KizliPig'T directly on his return fini i
Vienna, where he saw emperor
Charles, sdiows that the Austrian em
peror is backed in his determination
to secure peace by pt least on", and
that the most powerful of lh states
in the German empire. Whether oth
er southern German states will J 'in
In what appears to bo a innvtiuert
toward the renunciation oT Pruc.--'-i
hegemonv, events In no distant fu-
jture probably will show.

degree. Its intelligent co-opcratioa
lias made the campaign for increased
food production a notable success. I
call upon the press now to uiilimber
its batteries in the campaign for sav
ing what has been made. Waste is
always folly, today it is crime. Let
every issue cf every paper in the
state, during the next 60 days carry
this salutation, 'Good morning. Are
you going to dry today? If not, what
are you going to can?' Some such
aaily reminder will spell the differ
ence between poverty and plenty ia
many homes. Let every householder
secure copies of extension circulars
Nos. 50 and 11, issued by the agri
cultural extension service. Write

recfspary information about drying
and canning fruits and vegetables.
Use Barns for Drying Fruit.
I desire to call special i.tteuti m to
the use of tobacco barns lu diyiaff
fruits and vegetables. The method
is simplicity itself. The only thlug:
necessary is to prevent contact be
tween the fruit and vegetables and
any of the old wood or poles Inside
of the barn. The fruit or vegetables
to be evaporated are placed in pans.
dishes or on clean boards and placed
nside of the tobacco barn. The pans.
dishes or boards can be conveniently
rested anjho poles of which the to-
bacco sticks are hung. Every tier in
the barn can be filled with the fruit
or vegetables to be evaporated just
as they were filled with tobacco ex
cept Instead of hanging like tobacco
the boards, pans or dishes are placed
on the poles. Fire is then built ia
the furnace just as for tobacco and
the heat regulated according to the
rule required in evaporating each ot"
the fruits or vegetables, and general
ly one day Is sufficient to dry all ex
cept unusually pulpy fruits or vege
tables, like blackberries or peaches.
The drying can be accomplished in a
small faction of the time required
for air-drjing. An the evaporating;
can be accomplished as quickly a?
with a high priced evaporator sold orr
the market for individual use.
Dry or Can.
"Ordinarily only one kind of veg
etable or fiuit should be evaporated
at one time, for the different kind re
quire different degrees of heat, and
the evaporation of peaches and tn-r-
ies require much longer time than
apples and some kind of vegetables.
"There is a better way to preserve
cabbage than putting it up as sawr
kraut. The cabbage head should be-
quartered, put into barrels or casks
end covered with brine, tlio water Im-
ins so salty that it will float ati egg
The cabbage are weighted ('own in
the barrel by a board or ha .Tel top
so as to keep it submersed in th
brine, and will keep Indefinitely,.
When desired for use, the cahb;Ue
is soaked or boiled until the exee'ss-
salt has been removed, and then
cooked as other cabbage would Ih
cooked. Cabbage so cooked is diffi
cult to distinguish from fresh cat
bage. "Let me close this appeal by giv
ing you the salutation (hat I hopi
will greet yon every morning for tH
days. 'Good morning. Are you guinfr;
