TO BE SKIPPED Those Men Engaged in Productive Agricultural Work AND MORE VALUABLE On Farm Than in Army Will be Passed Up This Summer. Indianapolis, March 27—The exemption |)f farmers in class 1 from military service generally announced recently includes only farmers who are actively employed in productive agriculture and whom the local boards think are more valuable on the farm than in the army. The numbers of such men will be skipped by the local boards. This order is effective only this summer. There has been some confusion in regard to this order. To clear up this confusion Major Robert Baltzell state cohscription agent has made public the exact wording of his order from the war department. The part of the . order pertaining to the exemption of farmers follows: “The situation arising from the . scarcity of farm labor demands that the call to the colors of men actively, , completely and assiduously engaged , in the planting or cultivation of a ! crop but who are in class 1 and within the new quota should be deferred un- ( til the end of the new quota. Please j. instruct your local boards therefore ; that the president directs that, in 1511- , ing this emergency call, they shall pass the order numbers of such men and deter their call for the present ' It must be borne in mind that this step • js taken solely in the need of the nation and not for the benefit of any in- ' .dividual. Therefore, while boards 5 -ihould consider it a grave duty to -:x---1 ercise this power to conserve and aug- '■ ment the agricultural production, they should observe closely the conduct :>f a those deferred and immediately upon becoming convinced that any person e so deferred is not giving his entire K time and earnest attention to agrical- £ tural duty or that he Is trifling wi'h *’ the deferment thus granted him. the - hoard should forthwith call him to the colors. All citizen:', should assist s in making this expedient effective and n In bringing to the attention of the 5 boards cases meriting deferment as d well as cases in which deferment is 8 being abused.” o——— — ABOUT THE SICK s i 1, Miss Lizzie Schraluka who lias been u suffering witli pneumonia and grip, r remains about the same. 8 ——————o i DEMOCRAT WANT ADS c PAY RIG. ,t ———————— CHILDREN m > Should not be “dosed” tisyr ■f lor eoldx—apply “exd _temd’y’’- /x//-W » Ltnießodv-cnmid in Your H.Jm»| yicWS g —— — II 7 i Official Time Table of Decatur Railroads GRAND RAPIDS * INDIANA.
