Think of buying a splendid, durable carpet sweeper at such a ridiculously low price. The “Hygeno” Sweeper is made of steel, light in weight but very strong—a sanitary sweeper which harbors no germs. “Hygeno” Sweepers are handsome, having beautiful mahog-any-baked enamel finish and nickel trimming. . It’s a mighty good sweeper—better than the old-fashioned kind sanitary, light weight, easy-running and handsomely finished. The - big HYGENO factory could not have furnished them so cheaply except for the fact .that the output is several thousand per day, thus bringing the cost of production-way down. Let us emphasize the fact that this is an advertising—not a money-making—proposition. W. J. Wright. RUGS. NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY RUGS. Prices will advance In a few days.

WILL TAKE ALL OF DRAFT ONE

CALLS MADE FOR FORTY-FIVE MEN, WHICH WILL TAKE ALL MEN AVAILABLE. Tfie local draft board has received a call for twenty men to go to Camp Taylor at Louisville and for 25 mep to go to Columbus Barracks at Columbus, Ohio. This will exhaust all the men in Class 1 who are now available, some of the farmer lads having been exempted for the present on account of farm work. The recent ruling of President Wilson 'that no allowance will be made for those who enlisted and for the state militia which is now in the service, is taking those in Class 1 in much larger numbers than expected and it will not be long until those in No. 2 are called for. • Those who will be drawn in the present draft Will have to report for duty between May 20 and 25. Owing to the short notice givpn the board they have not had time yet to draw the names but are working with all possible speed to make up the quota and it would be well for all those in Class 1 to hold themselves in readiness "so as to be able to go when they receive their notice, which will be in the next few days. The names will be published as soon as drawn.

C. E. HUGHES TO PROBE SCANDAL

FORMER SUPREME COURT JUSTICE WILL ASSIST IN PROBING AERO SCANDAL. Washington, May 15.-—President Wilson has summoned Charles E. Hughes to act with Attorney General Gregory in the investigation of criminal charges made in connection with aircraft production. Mr. Hughes’ acceptance of the task was announced today at the white house and he will come to Washington in a few days to go over plans with the attorney general. This announcement overshadowed in interest another development which created a great stir at the capitol. In a letter to Senator Martin, the democratic leader, the president, earlier in the day, had emphatically repeated his opposition to the phrasing of a pending resolution authorizing further inquiry by the senate military, committee into, aviation and other phases of war preparations. He declared he would regard the passage of such a resolution as a vote of want of confidence in the administration and virtually as an attempt to take over the conduct of the war. In designating former supreme court Justice Hughes, whose record in the New York insurance investigation is well remembered, the president said he felt the department of justice’s investigation wad of the very greatest importance, that if any persons were found to be guilty they might be prosecuted vigorously and promptly and that the reputation of those attacked might be protected if the charges were found to be groundless. z The letter to Senator Martin was the subject of heated discussion. Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, who introduced the resolution of inquiry called before the senate' expenditures committee considering it, declared there Was no intention of investigating the “conduct of the war” and that the resolution was worded as it was only to give the military committee, of which he is chairman, authority to resume its previous investigations. The senator also issued a statement in which explained that no eharges had been made against Major General Squier or Rear Admiral Thylor, the army ' and navy members of the aircraft board. ,
