O. K. Rainier Not to Serve On Conscription Board.

The following letter was received today by O. K. Rainier and will, of course, require his displacement on the Jasper county conscription board: “My Dear Sir: I am just in receipt of a long distance communication from Washington advising me that since the original letter of instructions was sent out they have decided that the third member of the board must be a practicling physician. This will! render it unnecessary for you to act further as a member of the board and a physician will at once be designated to take your place on the board. I wish to thank you in behalf of the state and nation for the generous tender of your services and the valuable work you have rendered up to this time in the selection of the precinct conscription officers. Yours very truly,

J. P. GOODRICH.
