WAR DEPARTMENT FINALLY TO PUBLISH LIST OF DESERTERS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 Less than one per cent of more than 24,000,000 men registered under selective service act during the war have been found

chargeable with wilful desertion, according to an announcement issued today by the War Department. The actual figures are 173,911 against whom desertion charges have been recorded and this represents, the statement says, "a tremendous improvement over the draft record of the civil war." The department will soon make public the names of those branded as deserters and the statement adds that the government "desires to obtain the co-operation of the various state and local officials, patriotic societies and other agencies including the Department of Justice in bringing abom. the apprehension of these men. May Avoid Arrest. Pending publication of the list, the statement continues, any man charged with desertion may avoid arrest by surrendering at the nearest army post, where his case can be investigated and his status determined. If his record is cleared, his name will be omitted from the deserter list when it is made public. Those in doubt as to their status are urged to address inquiries to the adjutant general of the army. The list for publication was compiled after local boards had been instructed to segregate and send to Washington records of all men classed as draft deserters during the war period.

A total of 4S9.003 records were forwarded, but on examination at the War Department it was shown that 163,000 of these dealt with cases disposed of during the war. They included registrants who enlisted voluntarily and failed to notify their draft board; men who failed to report when drafted, because of ignorance, and who subsequently reported at the camps for duty; few men discharged as physically unfit and some convicted of desertion during the war, and registrants who died between th tinio they received their call to the colors and the date on which they were ordered to report. The records in 151,000 other cases also showed that wilful desertion could rot be charged against the men and they were eliminated from the list. Can Not Be Relieved. "The War Department wishes it clearly understood that men who are guilty of wilful desertion will not be relieved of the consequences of their misconduct, ror will they be discharged because they write to the adjutant general of the army aad request their discharge," the statement said. It adds that because of the tremendous expense which would be incurred, payment of the $50 reward for apprehension of draft deserters has been temporarily suspended and the task of rounding them up left for the present tc the patriotism of the nation.

Guy Cromwell, GO years old, a young farmer living seven miles east of Connersville, committed suicide at a sanitarium in Oxford. O., according to word reaching here. His body was found in a pond In the grounds about the sanitarium. Cromwell was taken to the institution three months ago after his mind became unbalanced following the loss of several head of hogs by cholera. The widow survives.

Quite a number of Wayne county farmers invested in Big Type Polands at the Jones and Pike, and Frank Williams' sales last week. Several Indiana counties were represented, and buyers

attended from various states, but

Wayne and vicinity got at least its

share of the offerings. Edward John

son of Greensfork, bought the greatest number of any man in the county; Ora Cates, of Richmond; C. E. Pegg, Richmond; Sam Nicholson, Fountain City; Jerry Meyers, Hagerstowo; Fulghum and Sanborn, Centerville; George Sowers, Greensfork; and Miller and Swift, of Richmond, were among the Investors in pure bred hogs, which we now recall. Liberty, Modoc, College Corner, Greenville, New Paris. Williamsburg, Rushville, and several other Indiana and Ohio towns were represented on the sales sheets. Markt Comment. A Chicago grain dealer, who has a son in Montana, wrote the son advising him to hold his wheat, as he be

lieved it would later sell for $3. To his surprise the son came back with the statement that farmers out there are saying that $2 will be a high price for the new crop in Montana, the same Just now beginning to be harvested. September corn has advanced 20 cents from the low point on August 2. against but eight cents for December, a new crop month. Excessive receipts of lambs are lowering all markets. Prevailing prices were the low of the season at Chicago, on Thursday.

A late July estimate predicted a nearly 400,000,000 bushel potato crop this year, the condition on acreage planted being 1U0.7 per cent. This should mean cheaper potatoes this fall than in 1919. In 1917 there was a larger acreage and the crop was 442.000,000 bushels. Prices were reasonable and still profitable to growers. Fight on the Barberry. In the nation-wide fight against black stem wheat rust, more than two million barberry bushes were dug up Authorities are not agreed on the why of the matter but all are certain that the barberry is responsible for the rust. The wheat fields have proven this, after this pest has been removed. Many home lawns were beautified by these, shrubs, but were dtstroyed in the wheat sections. Calf Sells for $2,700.

Speaking of flowery names for fancy live stock, what is the matter with "St. Mawes Gwendola Chimes." for a

Jersey calf. Come to think of it. a calf

which will sell for $2,700 as this calf! did, is entitled to any name in the die-1 tionary, or elsewhere. Harry West, j

jersey rancier or Columbia county, Oregon, is her new owner. A Great Apple Crop. When upward of 1,000 apple shippers, members of the national association, hold a convention and tell the world that: "Everything points to an enormous crop of apples, and a large amount for cider, this year," it is up to the rest of us to rejoice. These apple men have just held a meeting at Chicago, and R. G. Phillips, national secretary, gave the press the above Information.

county conventions are expected to instruct their delegates as to whether

the votes will be cast for a cut out.

At a meeting of the leadinz burley

growers held in Lexington, Aug. 4,' five hundred farmers from 28 Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana counties went on record as' unanimously in favor of i cutting out the crop next year. This action was not taken as final, how- j ever, due to the fact that many burley I

raising counties were not represented in the convention, and the second convention was called in order that all growers might have a chance to act on the question. Agitation in favor of cutting out next year's burley crop has been brewing since the close of sales late last winter. Acording to leading growers, at least 40 per cent, of the 1919 crop was grown without profit to the producing farmers, and the present crop, although above average in quantity, will fall far below last year's crop in quality. Tobacco manufacturers of the country who buy practically all the burley crop in this section are already overstocked on second grade tobacco, growers say, and they are expecting prices to fall this winter to a point where profit is no longer possible ex

cept to the farmer with nothing but

high grade weed to sell. General opinion of Kentucky farmers is that a crop cutout in 1921 not only would give the manufacturers a chance to dispose of their excess of low grade weed, but would also put tho tobacco land in much better condition for future crops of burley.

BOY KILLED BETWEEN CARS. TSRRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 16.Harry Francis Vanbibber, 7 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Vanbibber, was instantly killed when he was caught between cars in the Pennsylvania East yards. The boy. with Elmo Arthur, was crossing the yards. As

they passed through a split in a cut of cars an engine backed up and the Vanbibber boy was caught. His head was just high enough to be caught between the bumpers. The Arthur boy escaped. CARS ARE STANDING

STILL, IS FINDING CHICAGO, Aug. 16. The first survey of freight cars ever taken by the farmers of a state has just been completed through the Illinois Agricultural association. Secretary D. O.

Thompson announced today. On the

basis of this census he said Illinois farmers did not believe there was a car shortage. The trouble with transportation he characterized as "immobility," and he declared the farmers meant to find out whose fault it was.

Secretary Thompson said the association undertook its census after receiveing reports from farmers over

the state that they saw many, cars standing idle on country tracks. "Members of the association made daily records of the car initials and numbers of the cars at 494 stations located in 46 different counties for seven consecutive days," the state farm bureau executive said. "Of these 494 stations, 146, or 29.5, reported some of the same cars on tracks the last day of the count as were on the tracks the first day of the count. "At all stations, 9,294 cars were listed the first day and of these cars, 938 out of the 9,294 cars had not been moved from the country point for seven consecutive days. This is just

a little over 10 of the cars at such points. ' "No count was made in Chicago. In several other large yards the association enumerators were ejected from the yards by railroad officials. "In Grundx county nine stations are reported. Four of these showed a complete clearance, whereas the other five showed that of a total of 454 cars reported . the first day 236 identical cars were still on track seven days later.

OH MY STOMACH "I had stomach trouble so badly that nothing I ate would digest as it should," said Sadie E. Hamilton, Portland, Me., asishe began a remarkable story of the relief she has secured from Argo-Phosphate, the new reconstructive, stomach tonic and system purifier. "Everything that I ate would lie in my stomach like a lump," she explained. "Gas would form and I would suffer distress all the time. I got so I could hardly keep anything down Trying to get relief, I had my stomach pumped out, but even this did not help me as I continued just as bad. "I kept hearing so much about ArgoPhosphate that I thought maybe it might help me and I decided to try it. I haO taken two bottles and to my surprise I am already feeling fine. I can eat anything and I am not troubled at all. "I am completely rid of my old stomach trouble that I had for three years. I have not felt so well for years and I am certainly glad to endorse Argo-Phosphate because I want others to be helped by this wonderful medicine." "The spirit of wanting to help others is what makes suffering men and women give these splendid public endorsements of Argo-Phosphate," said a local druggist. Dispensed by Clem Thistlethwaite.
