MEN PAST FORTY ? MAYGET CHANCE Washington, May 24.?Another move toward full utilization of the v country's man power was made today when Secretary Baker sent to Congress the draft of a bill proposing to raise the maximum age limit for voluntary enlistment in the army from forty to fifty-five years. All men over forty so enlisted would be assigned to non-combatant service. In a letter to Speaker Clark asking that the bill be pushed Secretary Ba ker said: ^ "Every man above the age of forty who is enlisted in non-combatant branches of the service will make available for duty with the lino ^ troops a man within the prescribed age limit for all troops. ^ "Many men whose long experience 9 as mechanics and artisans will make them particularly valuable to the various staff corps and departments, and may be thus secured instead o! younger men without such experience." There are probably 7,500 men between the ages of forty and fiftyfive, and many thousands of them al^ ready have attested their desire to serve by bombarding the department with applications. While the great majority of the men in this class undoubtedly will be restrained from enlisting by family and business ties, the number at liberty to join the colors is expected to bo more tluin sufficient to meet the purpose in view. Staff corps positions include many duties behind the front. Every headquarters includes a number of positions for which the older men would be just as well suited as the present occupants, who, under the new plan would be released for line duty. Official estimates are that a rnorieri* army, to be maintained as an efficient unit, must have between 40 and 50 per cent of its actual strength on duty behind the fighting zone. This means that of the first 1,000,000 men sent to France 400,000 servo along the lines of communication. NATION'S WAR BASIS , it MADE MORE SECURE Washington?Two important steps were taken today toward perfecting the task of putting the nation on a war basis. ? Soon after Provost Marshal General Crowder had promulgated a drastic amendment to the selective service regulations requiring every man of draft age to work or fight, Secretary Baker appeared before the house military committee and asked that President Wilson be authorized to call to the colors all men of draft age who can be equipped and trained. The I committee promptly and unanimously vui^uu iuc auiuui inw niu ai appropriation bill. Under existing law power is given to draft 1,000,000 fighting men, in addition to special units. This limit soon will be reached with men constantly going into camp to replace those sailing for France as fast as ships can be provided to take them. With the law changed as the president desires the man power of the country will be drawn upon for whatever force may be necessary to win the war. COPY SUMMONS FOR RELIEF (Complaint Not Served).

David Peterson of Honesdale, Pa., and Capt. Kenneth Marr, California, the heroes in the aerial battle Wednesday in which Captain Peterson brought down two German monoplanes and Captain Marr destroyed a biplane in the Toul sector related their stories of the battle today. "I was flying near Thiaucourt at an altitude of 5,000 meters/' said Captain Peterson, "when I saw two Ger man Albatross scouts going away at right angles in the distance. One was ahead of the other. I ascended 200 meters higher, circled and stopped my engine and darted after them. At a distance of 100 yards I opened fire with incendiary bullets and the German machine almost immediately burst into flames and fell. "All There is to It." "I continued straight on my course," he oontinued, "and within two minutes had the other enemy machine before me. He started a quick dive, hut I am certain that some of the bullets went home. As I circled about I saw one machine burning on the ground and another smoking :n 11 c iaIii nrv/k ziitnoU 4 i \\ itn nn cii u ti anu iv i uv. earth. That is all there is to it. It was a cinch." Captain Marr was flying1 at an altitude of 2,000 meters when he saw an enemy machine over the American lines. "As I sailed out I saw him far away, circling out from our line amid a cloud of puff balls from out 'Archies' he said. I circled out wider and wider and finally passed the German and turned again down our line. "As 1 opened up my motor and approached nearer," he said, "I saw that I had a two-seater to deal* with, I thought that the Gorman might see me or hear my motor, so I went a hundred .meters lower until right under the tail of his machine. Then I ponted the nose of my airplane upward and went on a level with the enemy and opened fire at him at point blank range. Finally Goes Down* "The German never knew I was there until incendiary bullets alternating with ordinary missiles began pattering through his machine. After 20 shots his machine toppled. I must have got a lucky shot home on the pilot, for the machine went down. I saw the observer standing up in the machine trying to get his machine gun to bear on me. "I certainly felt sorry for the helpless beggar. There he was dashing to certain death but to the last gamely trying to give me a fight." Captain Peterson and Captain Marr were standing on their flying field at daybreak this morning as they spoka. It was a perfect day for flying and they were able to leave for a patrol over the enemy -lines. As they stepped into their machines, Captain Marr said: "Well, we're off again. Maybe we will get some more. Maybe they will get us. Anyway, it's a fine day for it. So long." To Cure a Cold In One Day. , Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine.

The National Ftood Administration le> anxious to impress the message oi conservation to the utmost. The people of the country at large do not appreciate the demand for wheat. The Ftood Administration at Washington has stressed the situation in this na? i iv/u mur ^iuv i?ui?nuu. "If we are to furnish the allies with the necessary proportion of wheat to maintain their war bread froni now until the next harvest, and this is %. military necessity, we must reduce our monthly consumption to twentyone million bushels a month as against our normal consumption of about forty-two million buRhols or fifty per cent of our normal consumption, reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for special cases, leaves for general consumption approximately one and one-half pounds of wheat productsweekly per person. Many of our customers are dependent upon bakers' broad, such bread must be durable, i and therefore required a larger pro portion of wheat products than cereals baked in the household. Our army and navy requires a full allowance. The well to do in our population can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat products than can the poor. To effect the needed savings of wheat, we are wholly deepndo?it upon the voluntary assistance of, the American people, and we do ask mat tno roilowlng rules be observed: "First, householders to use not to exceed a total of one and one-half pounds per week of wheat products per person.This means not more than one and three-fourths pounds of Victory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and about one-half pound of cooking flour, macaroni. erasers, pastry, pies, cakes. ! wheat breakfast cereals all combined. "Second, public eating: bouses and clubs to obserre two wheatless days per week. Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto not to serve in the aggregate total of mora breadstuffs, macaroni, crackers, pantry, pies, cakes, wheat breakfast coreals. containing a total of more than two ounces of whsat flour te any et?e guest at any meal. No wheat products te be served unless especially ordered. Public eating establishments hot te buy more than six pounds of wheat products per month per guest thus conforming with lira itationa requested o4 the house holders. "Third, retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of g barrel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of a barrel to any country customer at any one time, and in no case to sell wheat, products without sale of an equal weight of other cereals. "Fourth, we ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victory bread 9old, by delivery of the threequarter pound loaf where one pound was sold heretofore, and corresponding proportions In other weights. We also ask bakers not to Increase the amount of their wheat flour purchased beyond seventy per cent of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to March first. "Fifth, manufacturers using wheat nrodur.tft f'*r nnn fnnd nnrnnuac Ahmil/t r ^ _ ~ ^ f ?? VIJ 0ltV\??U cease such use entirely. "Sixth, there la no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours, and meals, com, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, etc. Many thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat, products whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes and are doing so In perfect health and satisfaction. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able te nook in their own households cannot subsist perfectly well with the use of less wheat products than one and one-half pounde a week. georgiuFwYiT GROWING RAPIDLY There s a "write-up" of several pugcs m a recent issue of the Altanta Constitution, concerning Soporton Ga., now a rapidly growing town o! that State. It is the home of Wylie Mishoe, a former Horryite, who left [.oris about twenty years ago to settle in our sister State. The article in the Constitution has the following to say of Mr. Mishoe: "Living in Soperton one must need 3e a good cotton trader?it's primarily, a cotton center. Nevertheless, Mr. W. Mishoe, erstwhile postmaster of Soperton, divides his time and efforts equally between his cotton interests \nd the mule business in which he is engaged. While trading already on a very large scale it is certain, that, ?re long, the stock business will become one of the country's most important industries?and W. Mishoe will be "right on top." TEAMWORK IS BEST AND GENERALLY WINS Better Understanding Between Farmers and Commission Merchants. WOULD SAVE LOSSES THAT ARE NEEDLESS According- to Bulletin Issued by National Depratment of Agriculture. Teamwork between the farmer and his agent, the commission merchant, will clear up many a cloud of mis! understanding that frequently results j in needless losses for which the midI dlennm is held responsible, says Year book Separate No. 736, just publish od by tho United States Department of Agriculture. While the publication admits many striking cases have proven that too often there have been bertayals of trust on the part of city dealers to whom farm products have been consigned, it is doubtful if it could be demonstrated that all the shortcomings of tin4 commission business as now conducted are the fault >f the merchant. .Marketing farm oroducts through tin4 commission house is a partnership affair, and no partnership can he a complete success unless each partner does his best and is willing to make it possible for the other to work to the best aiU vantage. ' Unattractive Goods Bring Unsatisfactory Returns. Too often the commission man is used as a last resort, and products undesirable on the home market, either because of their low grade or because of a weak market, are dumpad on the city merchant. Unattractive goods placed on an already overv Uockcd and weak market may britMf msatisfactory returns, no matter how faithfully the commission merchant nay work to secure top prices and cnder an accurate and honest return or the consignment. The publication ites a case where one grower believ (1 that he was not receiving fair play .it the hands of the merchant to whom le sent a consignment of select ber^ rics, and followed his second shiprment to the city. He was able to identify his berries by the stenciled number on each crate, but was astonished to learn that, however fine the berries might be when eaten fresh from the field, they were so soft and tenlor that they could not roach the mar kot in attractive condition because they were not of a variety suitablei'or shipment. Sug est ions for Shippers. For those who contmeplate the use o! commission men as marketing agents the publication offers the following suggestions: 1. Know your agent. Select one who has a reputation backed by experience, an advantageous location and competent help. A personal visit will help the farmer in deciding these points. 2. Know your market. From your carefully selected agent learn the needs of the market, most desirable varieties to raise, proper containers in which to pack and ship, style of pack most desired, the use of labels or brands, proper amounts and time or snipmeni, and local prciorcnces. 3. Make regular ohipmcnts. Keep your city agent regularly supplied with what his trade will take, thereby helping him to stabilize the business in which you are both concerned. f\\ 4. Keep each other informed. Successful shippers make frequent use of the telegraph or long-distance telephone to keep agents posted as to changes in shipments. The agent should also keep the shipper informed as to any changes in requirements of the market. f). Avoid frequent changes in agents While it may he wise under certain conditions to check one agent by the sales of another, the most successful consignor is the one who selects an agent with great <. are and then sticks to him, cooperating in every possible way and carefully scrutinizing all settlements. The honest agent is glad to do his part in such teamwork and welcomes the most exacting examination of his .neh tods.
