It's a good work and lone that should be co-operated in by tho good farmers of Adams county. • It seems to us a burning shame t.f ' build a new high school without tho auditorium and gymnasium. Decatur and vicinity need both of these improvements and here is the golden opportunity to secure them. Why not or|ganlze u company with the idea in I*view of doing this just as soon as poa- ’ sible? It we can’t do it now lets do t ’ next spring or the next or some other 1 [time, just as soon as we can.

SHORTEN QUOTO Regulations Issued Today Base Levies on New Population Estimates. INDIANA IN THE LIST Os States Which have Credits Coming Because of Number of Volunteers. (United Press Service) Indianapolis. Ind., July 9 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—lndiana claim* credit for 4,856 men enlisted in the state military units and 7000. men who have enlisted in national military organizations, in the apportionment of the number of men from this state for conscription, Jesse Eschbach, state conscription officer, today wired the war department at Washington. These men have pnlisted prior to June 30 and will count toward Indiana's quoto. (By Webb Miller. United Press Staff Correspondent) ■ Washington. D. C.. July 9—States that have probably answered the call i for regular army and national guard I volunteers, will have proportionately less men to supply by draft than the slacker states. Regulations for fixing the quotas of each state, issued by President Wilson today, bas the levies on new population estimates, with deductions for heavy enlistments to date. Exact numbers are yet to be compiled. California. Idaho. Illinois, Indiana, Michigan. Montana. Nevada. Oregon. Pennsylvania. Utah. Nebraska and Wyoming have filled their regular army quotas and consequently will ' profit from deductions. The war department will make deductions for the strength of the national guard and the number of guard and army enlistments (since April 1. Provost Marshal General Crowder will notify tach governor of the requisite strength and the governor then will have to divide the burden on the basis of population between counties and cities. In making new population estimates the census bureau is considering the registration returns. Washington. California. Oregon and manyother states, with registration below , estimates, will show a smaller pop- , ulation than.- previously estimated ' and consequently will have a shortened quota. o A practical joker in a town in Kansas had a good time one day last week. He called up about 100 homes and asked for the lady of the house. Then he informed her that the telephone company was speaking, and that it wished to notify her to tie a rag over the mouthpiece of the 'phone between 2 p. m. and 3 p. m.. that day, as the company was going to blow the dust out of the 'phones from the ,central exchange. The joke worked land there were a lot of mad women : in town later on.

The nature of the proclamation has strengthened belief here that the government will shut off all exports with an embargo for 60 days until an Invoice of this country's supplies nmybe taken. I Commercial envoys from European, neutrals and representatives of South i American cout/ries were active today I ln an effort to remove some of the 'teeth from the threatened embargo. I Eventualities which might MJP* this government's drastic action havt ' been duly considered. It is realized I that if the war endures long, new fa ■ •may appear on one side or the other of the great world struggle -forced there by the pressure of threatened starvation. But military men insist that no chances must be taken with supp H's of this nation and her allies, regardless of what neutrals think. Members of congress —Senator Knox. Pennsylvania, formerly secretary of state, among them— say "me the embargo boldly. Let these who are slow to realize the purposes of this great war. learn. Let the neutral world know hat those who are not with us are against us.” , .

The change in plans was made that an earlier re • turn here might be made, owing to J matters that came up later. Mr. Weber will be employed as a shipping clerk at the Fort Wayne Electric plant.
