Agricultural Exemption Claims Rest With District Board.

That many registered men now filling out questionnaire blanks am those who have filled out the blanks do not fully understand the manner of classifying men making agricultural claims is the statement of the state conscription board. \— In order that those interesjtec may know exactly the methods used in classifying the agricultural claims, the following statement is printed: While the local board passes on and makes primary classification of agricultural claims, the final passage and classification of claims based on agricultural claims rests • entirely with the district exemption board located at LaPorte. . .

However, no other evidence will be considered by the local board or district board other than that given in the questionnaires and all information to the district-board must first pass through the regular channels of the local board before it will be accepted or considered by the district board. In any event where the district board desires additional information in any case, it will be asked for and secured through the local board.
