TOPREPARE DRAFT
GOVERNOR AUTHORIZES FORMA-
TION OF EXEMPTION BOARD.

Governor Gunter has given assur-
ance that organized labor will be rep
resented on the exemption appeals.
! The personnel of these boards will be
largely the same as that in charge of
registration on June 5.
The machinery that will carry out
| the governments draft instructions
was set in motion by Governor J. C.
Gunter yesterday. John Evans, pro-
vost marshal, was instructed by the
governor to organize the local exemp-
tion boards and see that they make
ready for their work at once. The ex-
emption boards will be the same as
the registration boards with few ex-
ceptions. New boards will be ap-
pointed in Ell Paso and Pueblo coun-
ties and the number of boards in
creased because the registration is too
heavy for the present boards to take
care of the work.
Governor Gunter telegraphed to
Washington the names of ten men
whom he recommended as members of
Colorado will have two, one for Den
yer and one for the remainder of the
state.
The local exemption boards will pass
on facts. If man submits proof that
he has dependents, the local boards
probably will exempt him. If he is
physically disqualified in such way
that it is apparent at a glance, the
local exemption boards may have the
power to exempt him. Such cases as
the blind, persons without limb or
with other serious defects will come
under that head.
Claims of exemption on the grounds
of conscientious objection or occupa-
tion will be heard by the appeal board.
All persons who are doing better work
for the country than they could do as
soldier will be exempted, according
to information received by the provost
marshal.
Provost Marshal Evans predicts
that the work of the exemption boards
will be long and tedious. AS soon as
the names are chosen at Washington
they will be telegraphed to the exemp-
tion boards of their communities. In
his own community, each mans
claims for exemption will be heard.
Outside the larger cities of Colorado
the sheriff, the county clerk and the
county health officer will serve as the
exemption board of each county. In
the larger cities there will be one ex-
emption board for every 10000 in
habitants.

needed.
Bumper Crops in Colorado.
1t may not be amiss in this connec-
tion to state that all of the fruit sec
tions of the state report indications
of a bumper crop. The same is true
of the general farming communities.
The so-called dry-farm crops will show
the heaviest yield in years and the ir-
rigated districts will produce record
breaking crops.
The situation on the western slope
is illustrative of conditions. The farm
ers, the ranchers, the cowboys, the
sheep-herders, all of these and others
have responded to their country's call
and have enlisted in some branch of
the military service, thereby creating
shortage of particular kinds of labor
in particular section. In the north
ern tier of counties conditions are the
same.
| Free Transportation Needed.
| What, then, will be the answer of
the nation to the call of this state for
assistance to help it meet an emer-
gency, which, if it is not taken care
of, will result in irreparable loss for
the producers and consumers of the
state as well as deplete the nations
supply?
We submit that the free transporta-
ton of workers from the harvest fields
of other states, or perchance, from
within the borders of this state, is the
proper solution of the problem which
is soon to confront us.
The state labor bureau does not feel
that it is inconsistent in its attitude
despite the fact that it has publicly
announced its opposition to the sus-
pension of laws protecting women and
children who are forced to become
wage earners, for the very nature of
the work to be performed by those
we seek to have transported free of
charge thruout the state and also in
interstate traffic is of such nature
that women cannot be extensively en-
ployed.
Suggestion Is a Good One.
1t may be that the plan as outlined
is impractical; it may be that it is
visionary; it undoubtedly will be in
conflict with interstate transportation
regulations unless the present act is
modified to meet wartime emergen-
cies, but, at any rate, we offer it as
suggestion to the interstate commerce
commission, to the secretary of labor
and to the Colorado delegation in con-
gress for what it is worth, in the
hope that the commonwealth of Colo
RADIO and our common country will
reap some small measure Of benefit.
Trusting that I soon may receive

PRISONERS TRY
TO BREAK JAIL
Chisel Way Through Roof
With Case Knives-Cap-
tured at Once.
Yer Duyn Was the Ringleader
Will Have New Charge
to Answer.

Kenneth Napoleon yer Duyn, held
in the county Jail on a charge Of
white slavery, and Walter Brandon
and Harry Martin, charged with
grand larceny, attempted to escape
from the county Jail last Sunday.
Yer Duyn got out but did not get
away from the officers. Brandon and
Martin did not leave the Jail al
though they took part in the attempt.
Since it is felony to break jail, Yer
Duyn has an extra charge to answer.
Brandon and Martin will have to an
swer a charge Of misdemeanor for
attempted Jail break.
Used Case Knives as Chisels.
Yer Duyn got possession of sew
eral case knives last week. While
Sheriff Dobson was in Washington,
D. c., and the other folks of the Jail,
so he supposed, had gone for car
ride, he broke through the plastered
wall Of the Jail and was cutting his
way through the roof, using the case
knives as chisels, when he was dis
covered by a deputy sheriff. By this
time most Of the damage to the Jail
property was done so the deputy de-
cided the best thing to do would be
to let him get out so that the charge
Of felony could be placed against
him. He went down town and got
several men to help watch the Jail.
The prisoners worked away think
ing that no one was there. Late in
the evening Mrs. Dobson came home
and the work ceased. The men stand
ing guard told her what was being
done. She went outside and asked
the prisoners where the young folks
were. The men replied that they had
gone riding. "Tell them to meet me
at Wiley's when they return" said
Mrs. Dobson. The prisoners resumed
work and soon Yer Duyn was a free
man for few seconds. He was cap

United States Will Produce

Promises for a bumper row crop

country the past few days.

here and there looks fine. Farmers
as rule have the best stand they
have ever had, too, although some Of
them have had to plant as high as
three times. / have 100 acres Of

broken before in any other year."
A Large Spring Crop Acreage.
@. P. Holland was in from his
ranch IA miles northwest of town
Tuesday. He reports also that the
spring crop looks fine and that with
any sort of rainfall there will be a
bumper crop this year. Everybody
has sown great deal more than they
usually sow because Of the failure Of
the wheat.
But there are great many wheat
fields that are being harvested after
all. J. x. Smith, of Floris, reports
cut. He has nearly 400 acres all
that he has 600 acres good, enough to
ready in the stack. The yield will
run between 8 and Is bushels to the
acre, Mr.. Smith believes. He says
there are about 10000 acres in his
vicinity that 10 being harvested.

SURVEYORS ARE
ACROSS RIVER
Hardest Part of Work Now
Completed-Finish in
a Few Weeks.
Railroad Will Mean Much to
Liberal and Seward
County.

Surveyors for the C. X. & o. have
made their survey through the Cim-
arron river and the brakes on either
side and are now on their way to this
city, according to @. P. Holland who
was here Tuesday. The surveyors
at that time were on the Holland
ranch, which is IA miles northwest Of
town.
Work should progress rapidly from
now on. The survey has been COM
pleted through the river northwest
of Forgan. The surveyors now have
only fiat country to work in and
they can survey this almost as fast
as they can walk across the country.
Mr.. Holland reported that the sur
|veyors had experienced trouble get
ting permission to camp along the
line they have surveyed. Farmers
seemed loath to let them camp on
their ground. Mr.. Holland reports
that they are fine bunch of men and
says that they can stay at his place
as long as they wish.
The new railroad will go through
country that is just coming into
its own. Thousands of acres Of land
are being broken up between here
and Ematon and along the new line
in general.
The surveying crew probably will
finish work this month. The crew
that worked north from Forgan is
now doing detail work at the north
end of the survey just completed by
the crew working near here.
The advent Of the north and south
railroad will open new and more ex-
tended market for the farmers and
business men Of the county. For in
stance, the freight rate on lumber,
according to the clerk Of the Board
Of Public Utilities, will be much re-
duced. On lumber, the rough materi-
al, the rate now is 81 cents per hun
dred. The new road will bring the
same material on the Pacific coast
for so cents. The rate on Greeley po-
tatoes Is 35 cents to Liberal. The
new railroad can easily bring the
same potatoes to the county for 20
cents. The coal rate from Trinidad
district is So, but the new road will
cause change in the rate to $3.50.
The board was not able to estimate
accurately pm the wheat rate, but the
most conservative estimates say that
there will be saving of at least 9
cents per hundred by shipping over
the c. X. & o. to the Gulf. At this
time wheat is almost wholly routed
from here to Hutchinson or Kansas
City, then largely diverted to Gulf
ports for export. This direct route
eliminates that extra hauling expense
Of practically nine cents. This will
mean that the farmer will receive a
goodly per cent more for his wheat,
for the lower rate the greater price
the buyer can offer for the grain.
A north and south road will cure
all car shortages which the western
part of the state has suffered for
many years. No car shortages occur
where there are two trunk lines look
ing into the business of a community.

labor for support.
Other classes are persons who are
found by local boards to be members
of any well recognized religious sect
or organization organized and exist
ing May 1s, 1917, and those whose
then existing creed or principles of
the religious organization.
In all cases those claiming exemp-
ton on any grounds must appear be-
fore the local board or send lawful
agent and specify their reasons for
their claim.
A Tedious Task.
The work Of the local exemption
boards is tedious task and requires
the utmost care to avoid mistakes.
Changes in the regulations are being
made all the time, and it is the
duty of the members Of these various
boards to keep instructed up to the
minute on the duties required Of
them.
