Lawyers Have Practically Completed Their Big Task

The members of the Jasper county conscription board and the lawyerstof the county have about worked themselves out of the job of giving assistance to registrants in the filling out of their questionnaires. Where only a few days ago the lawyers were besieged with young naan eager to have their questionnaires filled out/ the number has now dwindled down to very few persons, and during recent days there have been but one or two persons asking assistance. ' •The attorneys are entitled to much credit for the gratuitous service they have rendered the country and the county, and especially are they entitled to the thanks of the 1157 registrants of the county who would have almost found it an impossible task to fill out the blanks without assistance and advice. The attorneys have performed their work in a very satisfactory manner and have allowed their own business to suffer in order to do this work for the government. The result is that they have offices filled with accumulated business. When it is considered that all this time and effort has been expended without a cent of remuneration, it must be admitted that the attorneys have done a big bit.
