Washington—President Wilson Mon-
day created and set into motion' the
(gigantic machinery of the draft. By
{proclamation the president started the
Ituge labor of singling out the man-
hood for America's new armies.
The regulations fixed the general
class of men free from military service
and set up exemption boards. Only a
rery small group of classes of men
are exempt. All others must appear
'before the tribunals if they wish to
fee exempt. Upon the hearing of evi-
dence they will be discharged or draft-
ed. „
Every action of the exemption
{boards will be hedged about with
: double safeguards against unfairness.
The regulations have tak^n up all
of the lost motion and reduce the pro-
cedure to the minimum. The boards
.tare expected to get under operation
s within ten days and begin the listing
of registered ones and the passing
(upon exemption claims which are to
(be supported by affidavits.
One million men will be drawn in
the first levy.
Following are the general exemp-
tion classes:
_ Married men with a wife, child or
«>hildren solely dependent upon them;
Imen with aged parents solely depend-
ent; men with orphaned brothers or
ters under a certain age, depend-
m
<«
c
I
Workers in industries necessary to
the maintenance of the military organ-
izations of maintenance of the nation-
al interests. Only men indispensable
to the continuance of such industries
•re to be exempted.
Officials, federal, state and county.
Men in the military service of
kkmerlca.
Aliens.
Workmen in arsenals and navy
yards of the United States.
Mail clerks and other postoffice em-
ployes.
lots and mariners in the iaerchant
ie of America.
Criminals convicted of a felony, and
Others morally deficient
Affidavits will be required from
claimants to exemption, affirming that
a wife, children, parents or other rela-
tives are wholly dependent upon them
lor a livelihood. After investigating
the evidence the local exemption
boards may grant exemptions on these
{grounds. ' f
The regulations fail to specify what
industries are necessary to the main-
tenance of the military organizations
or the national interests or which men
'we indispensable to those industries.
The entire power of decision upon this
point is left in the local and appelate
hands. The burden of proving
fee is indispensable to a vital indus-
try will rest upon the applicant.

Mobs After Negroes in St. Louis.
St. Louis, Mo.—Five negro sections
of the city were fired by mobs Monday
Bight, terrorized negroes fled from
their burning homes only to meet bul-
lets from the guns of the rioters; some
were shot by snipers and two were
lynched. One white man was killed
by a negro sniper and before the burn-
ing began four negroes and one white
man were killed. This includes the
detective sergeant, whose death at the
hands of a negro mob late Sunday
night was the direct cause of the out-
break Monday night. Estimates of the
number of dead run up to one hundred
and higher, but these estimates are
purely conjectural. The exact num-
ber slaughtered possibly never will be
known, as it is thought many bodies
were consumed in the flames. The
race riots began shortly after midnight
Sunday when a mob of 200 negroes,
most of them armed, fired on an auto
mobile loaded with policemen.

RAISE IN FREIGHT
RATES IS REFUSED
Interstate Commerce Commission Sus-
pends Tariff Providing for Same
Until October 28.
Washington.—The interstate com-
merce commission Friday denied the
plea of the railroads of the United
States for a horizontal increase of 15
per cent in freight rates.
In its decision the commission indi-
cated its willingness to increase class
rates in the Eastern district approxi-
mately 14 per cent. Since about one-
fourth of the freight handled is moved
under class rates, the decision virtual-
ly allows the Eastern lines about 4
per cent increase in gross freight
revenue. Increases sought in rates on
coal, coke and iron will be granted.
The commission found as a result of
the extended hearings that the car-
riers generally show a substantial and
increasing prosperity, and that they
have ample resources with whioh to
conduct transportation.
Little sympathy was given the ar-
guments of the roads that they were
victims of war prices, the commission
holding that the carriers have profited
by the mobilization of troops.
The commission suspended the pro-
posed tariffs until October 28, but it
indicated, that no rehearing of the
case will be of value at this time, and
suggested cancellation of the tariffs.
Commissioner McChord dissented,
and Commissioner Meyer dissented in
part. i
Commissioner McChord said:
"The Issue is in reality rather one
of governmental policy than a ques-
tion whether the rates sought are rea-
sonable for the service of transporta-
tion."
The commission, in announcing the
decision, said:
"We are led to the conclusion that
no condition of emergency exists as to
the Western and Southern carriers
which would justify permitting a gen-
eral increase in their rates to become
effective. ,
"In the Western districts increased
rates have recently been permitted .to
become effective generally on bitu-
minous coal, coke and iron ore. We
think that similar increases may prop-
erly be permitted in the Southern dis-
trict on coal, coke and iron ore, and in
the Western district on coal and coke.
"In the Southern district the pro-
posed increased rates on coal are on
the basis of 15 per cent, with a mini-
mum of 15c a ton. These tariffs we
shall permit to become effective."
Part of Highway Law Invalid.
Austin, Tex.—The act of the last
legislature providing that "every re-
pair shop of whatsoever kind or gar-
age within the state engaged in re-
pairing, rebuilding or repainting of au-
tomobiles of every description, or any
v repair shop engaged in electrical work
in connection with automobiles of
every description, shall keep a regis-
ter of every material repair or change
in or on automobiles of every descrip-
tion," and provides that a failure to
comply with the act shall be a misde-
meanor and prescribing penalty, has
been declared invalid by the court of
criminal appeals.
^uto Registration to Begin July 15.
Austin, Tex.—The State highway
commission has extended for a period
of 15 days the enforcement of the high-
way commission law. This act be-
came effective July 1. The inability
of the commission to issue all regis-
tration licenses is the cause for exten-
sion to July 15. This ruling also ap-
plies to the law requiring automobiles
to be equipped with dimmers.
RETAIL FOOD PRICES ADVANCE
Government Bureau of Labor Statistics
Qlves Out Percentages of In-
crease for Year.
Washington.—Retail food prices in
the United States advanced on an aver-
age 5 per cent from April 16 to May
15, as shown in figures compiled Fri-
day by the bureau of labor statistics.
During the year ending with May 15
they increased 39 per cent.
The biggest Jump during the month
was in flour, which advanced 29 per
cent. The increase in corn meal wa^
15 per cent; beans, 14 per cent; bread,
13 per cent, and rice, 11 per cent. The
only drop in prices was in onions, 36
per cent, ahd butter, 9 per cent.
Some of the month's increases are
given as follows:
Beef, 2 to 4 per cent; bacon, ham
and lard, 8 to 10 per cent; hens, 1 per
cent; salmon, 10 per cent; eggs, 3 per
cent; cheese, 3 per cent; milk, 3 per
cent; potatoes, 6 per cent; sugar, 5 per
cent; coffee and tea, 1 per cent.
The greatest advances during the
year w§re made Dy potatoes, which ad-
vanced in price 149 per cent, and in
flour, 122 per cent.
In the last four years retail food
prices generally have advanced 56 per
cent.
Preliminary estimates by the food
administration indicate farmers re-
ceived an average price of $1.50 a
bushel for their last year's wheat crop,
against 98.4c the year before and 97c
the year before that.
LAND BANK MAKES GOOD REPORT
Daspite Homestead Laws of State,
Texas Institution Is Near Head
of the List.
Washington.—Considering the fact
that the Texas homestead limits the
operation of the Houston Federal Land
Bank, members of the farm loan board
in a statement issued Thursday re-
gard the Houston bank's showing as
excellent. The records disclose that
the Houston bank is one of the first
four or five in point of relative prog-
ress.
The total number of farm loan as-
sociations in the process of organiza-
tion in Texas is 287. Charters to fif-
teen associations have been' granted
by the Houston bank ^ind the apprais-
ers have reported upon thirty-four
others. If all of the prospective as-
sociations in Texas take the average
of other districts, which it is assumed
they will, the grand total already ask-
ed for by the Houston bank will reach
$15,500,000.
During May the bank approved
$331,114 in loans and approved $486,
347 during the first half of June.
Russians Take German Prisoners.
Prisoners exceeding 10,000 and the
eapture of the village of Koniuchy
and strongly fortified positions south-
west of Brzezany are the first fruits of
the new offensive movement of the
Russian forces. In Eastern Galicia
north of Koniuchy the Russians have
attacked and fresh battles are in pro-
Socialists' Parade Causes Riot.
Boston, Mass.—Riotous scenes Sun-
day attended a socialist parade an-
nounced as a peace demonstration.
The ranks of the marchers were
broken up by self-organized Squads of
uniformed soldiers and sailors, red
flags and banners bearing socialistic
mottos were trampled.
Harris County Votes Bonds.
Houston, Tex.—In the good roads
bond and tick eradication election held
in Harris county both carried. The
successful bond election means that
the county will spend $1,100,000 on
the county roads. Some 235 miles of
highway will be improved, while $100,-
000 will be spent in building a con-
crete road for experimental purposes.
THE SENATE COMMITTEE
REWRITES THE TAX DILL
The Estimated Income Reduced and
No Bond Issue Is Authorized
in Senate Measure.
Water Tank Falls on Steamer.
Milwaukee, Wis.—Eleven persons
met death and at least ten others were
injured Saturday, the result of a fifty-
ton water tank erected on the Milwau-
kee river front toppling down on the
whaleback steamer Christopher Co-
lumbus as she swung around prepara-
tory to making her return trip to Chi-
cago with about four hundred passen-
gers.
Washington.—Any doubt as to
whether cotton is to be controlled un-
der the termd of the food bill was re-
moved Monday when the senate adopt-
ed an amendment offered by Senator
Brandegee of Connecticut making cot-
ton one of the products over which the
food administrator will have jurisdic-
tion. Thus cotton is to be placed in
the same classification with wheat,
corn and other products, although
neither food, feed nor fuel.
Washington.—-Revision of the $1,-
800,000,000 war tax bill passed by the
house five weeks ago was completed
Saturday by the senate finance com-
mittee. The measure virtually was
rewritten and reduced to $1,652,170,000
with no authorization of additional
bonds. The final draft was sent to
the printer and will be given formal
committee approval this week.
Incomes and excess profits will bear
about two-thirds of the new tax bur-
dens under the revised bills—about
$500,000,000 each—with a large share
of the remainder secured from liquors
and tobaccos. Many house taxes were
entirely eliminated by the committee
and others added.
Radical changes of taxes on war ex-
cess profits of corporations, partner-
ships and individuals, decided upon
Saturday, enabled the committee to
dispense with the suggestion made of
an additional bond issue of from $500,-
000,000 to $1,000,000,000.
Senator Stone withdrew an amend-
ment for a $500,000,000 issue. While
the bill falls short by about $600,000,-
000 of meeting the treasury estimates
of war expenses next year, the com-
mittee thinks that by issuing $135,000,-
000 of authorized but unsold Panama
canal bonds the expenses can be met
until congress convenes in December.
As finally drafted the much-debated
publishers'"tax section proposes a 5
Ptor cent tax upon publishers' profits
over $4,000, yielding $7,500,000 reve-
nue, and an increase of Y^c a pound
in second class postage rates, yielding
$3,000,000.
Excess profits due to the war under
the revised bill would bear $730,000,000
in taxes graduated from 12 to 40 per
cent, according to the proportion of ex-
cess. This is an increase of $505,000,-
000 over such taxes under the present
law, of which repeal is proposed, and
$300,000,000 more than was proposed
by the house bill.
From income taxes $532,700,000
would be raised, $66,000,000 less than
the house provided—the decrease be
ing made entirely upon incomes of
$40,000 annually and above-4-with the
committee approving the house plan
for lowering income tax exemptions to
$1,000 for single persons, $2,000 for
married persons, additional normal
taxes of 2 per cent upon incomes up to
$5,000 and surtaxes graduated from 1
to 33 per cent upon larger incomes.
The committee struck out entirely
the house 10 per cent general tariff
tax upon virtually all imports, esti-
mated to raise $200,000,000. It substi-
tuted consumption taxes totaling $86,-
000,000 and bearing more directly upon
consumers, of %c a pound on sugar,
2c on coffee, 5c on tea and 3c on cocoa
and substitutes.
Other changes in the revised bill in-
clude a prohibitive ta*x to stop manu-
facture of distilled beverages, while
taxes on other intoxicants are virtual-
ly doubled; elimination of house taxes
of $6,000,000 on inheritances and $108,-
000,000 retroactive taxes upon 1916 in-
comes.
First Texas Bale Nets $2,500.
New York.—The first bale of new
Texas cotton was sold at auction on
the Cotton Exchange Monday for the
benefit of the Red Cross. The pro-
ceeds from the sale of the bale, which
was donated by Hubbel, Slack & Co.
of Houston, Texas, amounted to $1,500,
which, with $1,000 contributed by
members of the exchange, was added
to the Red Cross war fund. Coutribu-
i tions to the fund totaled $42,502.18,
j making the amount collected in New
: York City $38,298,391.39.

At the cost of a small jar of ordi-

quarter pint of the most wonderful
lemon skin softener and complexion
beautifier, by squeezing the juice of
two fresh lemons into a bottle contain-

should be taken to strain the juice
through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh
for months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and re-
move such blemishes as sallowness,
freckles and tan and is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of or-
chard white at any pharmacy and two
lemons from the grocer and make up a
quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage It daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands. It
naturally should help to soften, fresh-
en, bleach and bring out the roses and
beauty of any skin. It is wonderful to
smoothen rough, red hands. Adv.
