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.

FLYING HEROES
TEU.OF FUGHTS

\
With the American Army :n
France.?Capt. 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

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."

Food Administration Outlines
Policy to Meet Desperate
Food Situation.
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

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

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.
