with jurisdiction to pass upon all Claims for exemption or discharge. The local board of Jasper county is composed of Ben D. McColly,. sheriff, Jesse Nichols, clerk of the cir-j cuit court, and a physician to be: appointed, (Dr. C. E. Johnson having been relieved by reason of hehimself being within the draft age limit.) This board has a list of all persons to be drawn for military service and arranged in the order in which they will be called. This list will be posted by the local board for public inspection. Therefore consult your local board as to the order of liability. As soon as the quotas are assigned to each state and each board, each board will call upon persons whose cards are in its jurisdiction, instructing them to present themselves for examination. This call will be posted at the office of the local board and the papers will be requested to print it. A notice will also be mailed to you but the posting of the list at the office of the local board will be deemed sufficient notice to charge you with the duty of presenting yourself. The law therefore makes it your duty to inform yourself when you are called. The mailing is for your convenience, but if the letter never reaches you,, you cannot make that an excuse. You must report for physical examination on the day named in your call. It is your duty to report for this examination whether you intend to file a claim for exemption or discharge or not. If you are found to be physically disqualified the board will give you a certificate which will explain to you what your further duties are.

You will not be allowed to make an argument or introduce any other evi- ' denee before the board than the

affidavits provide. Then in the event an appeal is prosecuted either by the government or by one called for military service, the affidavits submitted to the local board will be. reviewed mnd you are given an additional five (5) days time within which to prepare and present additional affidavits before the appellate tribunal. ■ Every Claim for discharge or exemption will be decided by the local board within three (3) days after your affidavits have been filed. If. your claim is allowed, a certificate of discharge will be issued to you but this certificate may be recalled at any time the reasons upon which it is based are removed. Remember that your case may be appealed to the district board by the government and on its appeal your certificate may be withdrawn at once. When so withdrawn you stand precisely as though you had been selected for military service by the local board. If your claim is disallowed by the local board your naihe will be certified and sent by the local board to the district board as one who been called for military service and not exempted or discharged. Within two (2) days thereafter if practicable a list of those so certified to the district board will be given to the papers with a request for publication, will be posted in the offices of the local board accessible to the public view and notice will be mailed to the address on your registration card. Claims of appeal may be made by a person within ten (10) days after the day when notice has been posted and mailed that such person's name has been certified to the district board as one who has been called for service and exempted or discharged. You have five days after \|he district board receives your notice that you have filed a Claim of appeal in which to file evidence additional to that filed by you in the local board but all such evidence must consist of affidavits. The decision on your appeal must be made within five (5) days of the closing of proof and you will be. notified by mail of the action of 'tlie . board on your appeal. Oply the district board can re-1 ceiye claims for discharge' on the ground that you are engaged in industry, including ' agriculture, found to be necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment, the effective operation of the military forces, or the maintenance of national interest during the emergency. . . ' _ Such* claims must be filed wi.th the district board on or before the fifth day after the mailing and posting of notice that von have been certified' by the local board as one who has been called for servic'd and not exempted or discharged. Only affidavits can be used in filing ’ proof before the district board of a claim for ’exemption on industrial grounds. All such affidavits must be filed with five (5) days after the filing of the claim. The paramount idea is the most efficient maintenance of the government in its military operations. Remember that the fact that you are engaged in agriculture is not sufficient cause for your exemption. You must, show that your agricul tural pursuit is in truth and in fact an industry of value to the government. In other words, if you are producing a crop of weeds you are not conducting an industry valuable to the government and you would be of more value in the army, but P you are contributing materially to the government’s products that you have brought about by your own individual energies, then you have a right of claim to exemption. Also as to dependents. Dependents must be supported by the aCtlral physical or mental labor of the applicant. If those termed as dependents are in fact supporting themselves, shile the head of the house is unemployed, no claim for exemption -will be recognized.

Why Teachers Enjoy Life.

Simple Remedy for Cuts.

Housewives and laboring men are continually subject to cuts and scratches of varying severity upon the hands and arms. These hurt places may be treated successfully and painlessly with pure castile soap.

There Many Years.

Awoodsman in northern Michigan found a horse collar growing in a tree. Experts declare that the collar might have been the top of a sapling which encircled the base of the larger tree.— Popular Science Monthly.

Not Living.

The family was moving from New York to Ohio. An old man on the train made the acquaintance of the little girl, and when he asked her where she lived, she replied: “We don’t live nowheres; we’re moving.”

Changing Color of Flowers.

It has been fouhd that many pink flowers may be turned blue by exposing them to the fumes of ammonia for a few minutes, and blue flowers become pink when exposed to acids.

FARMER BEHIND THE TIMES

His Wife Tells Mow She Has Lived for Many Years Without Modern Conveniences. In the American Magazine a farmer’s wife tells of some of her experiences. She says: “My husband does not, or will not, realize that the world has moved, and that what were luxuries a generation ago are necessities now. One of my children died of typhoid fever, the germs of which were, no doubt, brought by flies from the house down the road where they had the disease; for we haven’t a screen door in the house, and only a few cheap adjustable screens. “We sleep on feather beds, because mattresses cost money, and the feather beds -were in the house —a part of the furnishings that I married, when I took my husband for better or for worse. We have chairs with rounds missing, worn carpets, nicked dishes and cooking utensils that have long since outlived their usefulness. “The house is inconvenient, and for that reason alone" housework is much harder than it ought to be, and housework is hard enough in all. conscience on a farm. We have no water in the house. For 25 years I have fetched and carried water. There are two steps between the kitchen and the dining room, whjch, by the way, was formerly a bedroom and has no place for a stove. The ‘parlor’ is across a hats from the main part of the house and is only opened on special occasions.”

HOW TO MANICURE CANARY

It Is a Job That Must Be Done, But Extreme Care Should Always Be Used. As a canary grows old, it will be noticed that its claws get long and catch on the perches and wires as it hops about the cage. In a stihe of nature the activity of the bird as it moves about on the ground or among twigs and limbs keeps the claws properly worn down. Confined in a eags, t*he bird’s claws become entirely too long. It is necessary, therefore, to trim them with a pair of sharp scissors every few months. If is important towatch the condition of,the claws carefully,'as by catching they may cause a broken leg. Iri each claw a slender blood vessel extends well down toward the tip. This may be seen on close examination through the transparent sheath of the claw. In trimming cut well beyond this canal and take special care not to break the leg while handling the bird. In cage birds the horny covering of the bill, as well as the claws, sometimes becomes distorted- through growth without sufficient wear. The tips of the mandibles may be pared down with a sharp knife, but care must be taken not to cut deep enough to reach the quick.

Be Prepared to Meet Trouble.

There is a serious side to life as well as a carefree one. The average mother should remember this and should impress upon her family the wisdom of being prepared to meet whatever trouble comes into the home. Everyone has his or her burdens to bear, and the old-fashioned habit of coming forward and making collections for persons in trouble isn’t in vogue these days. It is a good thing, too, that times have changed, for no one need be dependent upon public or private charity if he or she looks ahead, acknowl-. edges his or her responsibilities and uses the proper means to meet them. As a rule it is always the extravagant and unsystematic person who has to call for aid; but the woman who looks at life from a business standpoint—who assumes her responsibilities —is always independent and never finds it necessary to seek assistance from others.

Owl Not Really Wise Bird.

Since it has been recognized that the owl is a beneficial bird, economically Important as a destroyer of rats, mice and gophers, there is an increasing tendency- to restore its classic significance. Like many people of deliberate manner and few words, owls are not as wise as they look. They are quite easily caught in traps. In case the barn in which the owls make their home catches fire the owls usually burn to death. They get along very well in captivity when they are comfortably ..housed and fed either mice or a variety of food, but they cannot live on a diet of raw pork or beef.

Syriac Language.

Syriac is one of the three groups of languages into which the old Aramaic of Assyria and Babylonia was developed, the other groups being the Chaldaic and the Nabatean-Safiean. The Syriac is emphatically a Christian literature language, the Bible was translated into it as was a deal of writing from the fourth to the tenth century, and it, instead of Latin, is the liturgical language of the Roman Catholics of Lebanon in Syria today. The Syro-Chaldaic is a variant of the Syriac, combining features o£ both the Syriac and Chaldaic groups. It is found in use in Kurdistan and the Lake Urmia districts.

Nothing More.

“Anything doing in PlunkVille?’ “Not a thing.” “But I see by the paper that many public improvements are contemplated.” “Contemplated is the word. Merely municipal castles In the air.” —Louisville Courier-Journal.
