MR. FARMER
You are interested in anything which will save work on the farm.
Would the saving of 10 hours per week for your wife be worth anything to her
or to you or to your family? Wouldn't it conserve her health, and lengthen her work
ing days? Wouldn't you invest in a single piece of machinery that will do all of this
and more?
DEL CO-LIGHT WILL SAVE A WOMAN
4 hears per week Cleaning Lamps 4 hours per week Washing and Ironing
2 hours per week General House Work 10 hours per week altogether
52 weeks in a year or 520 hours a year of rest that Delco-Light will save
for mother. She won't rest all of this time, but she will be doing work that is easy
for her, and she will be more contented. There is going to be an advance in price
July 4th. I can take care of your orders up to July 4th at present price:
Present Price $275.00 and $325.00
After July 4th $350.00 and $420.00
The time is too short for me to see every prospect in this county. I must have
the order before July 4, but can delay shipment until September 1st. Cut out this ad,
send it to me with your check for $25.00, made payable to Domestic Engineering Co.,
and tell me when you want the plant.

Cass county is "doinp: her hit" at
Terir State Normal thit summer, be
ing represented "thirty strong."
Peru students are being delighted
and greatly benefited this week by a
series of lectures on rural education
by Dr. Foght, the celebrated national
specialist in rural education.
In spite of the war situation, Peru
has a larger enrollment of boys than
was expected. All the regular courses
will be offered this fall, as it is felt
that the need of trained teachers will
be greater than ever.
The nw courses for rural teachers
will be in full operation at the open
ing of the fall term. These include a
two years course for mature students
who have completed the work in the
elementary schools, also an added two
years' course for high school grad
uates and teachers of experience. The
Teachers' Bureau of the Normal
School has received more calls this
&Tear than ever before for teachers
who are competent to take charge of
rural high schools. These calls come
from every part of Nebraska.
Peru enthusiasm and the old-fashioned
Peru spirit dsmonstrated itself
in a marked degree at a general con
vocation recently, when the budget
tickets for school activities were of
fered for sale. The budget committee
had set the mark at 400 tickets, but
the students purchased G02 tickets
within the period of a few minutes.
The budget system at Peru permits
the students to attend all school activ
ities for the entire summer, including
the Dramatic club play, "Cousin
Kate," which was fine, indeed; sev
eral base ball games, a stunt event,
and a six-day chautauqua. The same
chautauqua numbers will appear in
Peru that are to come to Plattsmouth.
The budget ticket covers all these
things, for the nominal sum of two
dollars.
The budget committee has pur
chased two one-hundred dollar Liberty
bonds with money which has been
saved since the budget system has
been in use.
Peru's share of Red Cross work
will be "done. The boys are giving
their money and the fiirls are doing
their share of the work.
Prof. Beck, who has served with the
regulars, is giving military drill,
which is very popular with the boys
and a large number are taking part.
Omaha, June 27. Secretary of
War Baker today fini.lly confirmee
Major General Barry's choice of Des
Moines, la., as the site of one of the
sixteen army cantonment camps, over
the protest of committees from Oma
ha, Cedar Rapids, la., ami the Twin
Cities. The draft army from the
thirteenth district, inaluding Minne
sota, the Dakotas, Nebraska and Iowa
will be trained at this point.
In a supplemental report to the se-
retary of war, General Barry stated
that after personal examination of
the grounds at Des Moines lie was en
ti rely satisfied of its suitability for
military purposes.
Omahan's Efforts.
An Omaha committee left last nitrht
for Chicago, where they were to meet
General Barry this morning and pre
sent Omaha's advantages for the can
tonment camp. Thy intended to ask
General Barry to come to Omaha him
self and look over two sites, one north
and one west ol l Jorcnce. as well as
the originally proposed site near Fort
Crook.
This committee did not see Genera
Barry before the confirmation of the
Des Moines selection was announced
at Washington.
Another umana committee, in
Washington, had received assurance
from Secretary Baker that Omaha's
prospectus would receive due atten
tion from General Barry.
Although Omahans were boosting
until after Des Moines choice was
finally announced, their hopes of se
curing the cantonment camp were
high at no time.
Committee on Beturn.
It is felt here that the Omaha site
did not receive the attention due it
by the inspecting army oi'iccrs. The
noon after Colonel Morgan and his
commission were in Omaha a tele
gram advising the Omaha committee
to go no further with its arrange
ments lor trie contonment was re
ceived.
The cantonment at Washington and
Chicago will begin their return trip
today. The committee to see General
Barry consisted of T. C. Byrne, II. E.
Newbranch, H. II. Baldrige, Luther
Drake, G. W. Holdrege, John L. Ken
nedy. II. A. Tukey, Victor Kosewater
and Gould Diets.
Des Moines business men last night
raised $."0,0(0 in fifteen minutes to
improve facilities at and to the camp,
in order to keep the camp there.

Washington, D. C, June 26. Fur
ther details of the plan by which the
young men to compose the new na
tional army will be selected imper
sonally from Washington were learn
ed today.
Under the plan proposed by Gen
eral Crowder every card in every reg
istration unit in the United States
will be numbered from one up to the
limit of registration in that unit.
Corresponding numbers will be
placed in a bcx and drawn out by the
military and naval committees of the
house and senate until as many num
bers are drawn as are necessary to
make up the 1,500,000 men who will
be selected at the first drawing.
Thus, for example, if the commit
tees should draw out of the box No.
182, every young man in the country
whose registration card bears the
number 182 would be regarded as se
lected for service. The provost mar
shal general has received from each
legistration unit word of how many
registrations there were in that unit.
The numbers to be placed in the
by the committee, it would mean that
est number of registrations in the
largest unit in the United States.
Thus, if No. 1 should be drawn out
by th committee, it would mean that
there will be one man drawn from
every unit, but if a high number, such
as 700, should be drawn, no man
would be selected from many units,
for the reason that there were not
inat many registrations in many
places. ,
If by this process any state should
be called on to furnish more than its
fair quota of troops, its numbers
would" le reduced without affecting
the draft, because a large surplus of
men will be drawn to provide for such
emergencies.
It has been determined by the pro
vost marshal general that this is the
best method that can be devised to
insure a fair drawing.
GOOD LAW ADOPTED DY
THE MODERN WOODMEN
The Modern Woodmen of America
at tneir neau camp at Chicago last
week adopted a measure that is to be
lade a part of the law of the order
that is patriotic and shows the feel
ing that beats within the hearts of
these composing this great fraternity.
This was the adoption of a law pro
viding for the payment by each mem
ber of 20c per month additional on
their assessments for the purpose of
the payment of the insurance policies
of the members of the order who are
in the service of their country and
may be killed in battle or at sea. This
provision means that each man of the
Woodman order who is killed in ac-
ion or dies in the service will leave
to his beneficiaries a policy of $1,000.
This small sum each month from
every member will amply care for all
claims that will arise from the losses
in battle and will bring relief to those
who have their loved ones taken away,
while to the soldier and sailor it
means that his policy in the M. W. A.
is as good as gold and will be paid
through the fraternal spirit of his
fellow members.
