feel proud of him when he grows up,
so he has found way to 90 to war, he
has withdrawn his claim of exemption
and Is ready to go with the flag. The
assistance of Mr.. Martins relatives
made it possible for him to 90. His
<Hife's parents are dead but an aunt
and uncle living on farm in Kansas
have agreed to care for her and their
SOP while Frank goes to war. Martins
name has been transferred from those
claiming exemption to the honor roll,
and besides the army gets trained
soldier, he having served nine years In
the Oklahoma infantry.
Twenty nine more names were adj
ded today to the list that the local
exemption board of Blue Earth
county has judged to be fit for mill
tary service and has not exempted
on any grounds. This brings the
total Of such young men in this
country in the eyes of the local
board up to ninety-six. This is a
good piece of progress towards the
goal of 123, the quota that is re-
quired from this county, but there is
no telling what the district board
will do with those that the local
board has refused to exempt. Nor is
there any telling what the district
board will do with those whom the
local board las exempted on grounds
of dependency.
