the first hundred men called for the
selective draft asked exemption on the
ground of dependent relatives here
yesterday. Fifty-four men in the first
hundred claimed dependent relatives
as a reason for exemption. Eight were
exempted because Of physical defects
and two signihed their intention Of ap-
pealing to the district board for ex-
emption On the ground Of occupations
One Of the men claiming exemption
on occupational grounds was employed
at local factory making trench dig
ging machinery and the other said he
had farm crops that needed his atten-
ton.
The first Six men 10 come Up e.!
claimed discharge on the ground Of
dependent relatives.
The local exemption board expects
to finish examining the men on the

pected to get the necessary 229 for the

ply for exemption or discharge have
their claims allowed, 1t will rbe neces
sary to make another call before the

more than fifty years. died few days
ago, following a short illness in local
hospital, where he was taken from his
bachelor quarters in a down town nat.
Following his death an inspection of
his locker in the postoffice building

the poor man he claimed to be, he was
quite well fixed; also that he had no
confidence in banks. Money to the
amount of something more than $1,000
was found in the locker, tucked be-
tween the leaves Of books and papers,
in pockets Of old clothes. Some of it
was in envelopes in which he received
his pay as far back as ten years ago,
the envelopes never having been OPP
ened. -

the deep eyes of my Gouverneur
Faulkner, which for that first time 1
had been able to see to be the color of

beside me smoking the fragrant pipe
and looking down at me with a great
wonderment that was mingled with as
great a tenderness.

did for hardly a short hour.

beside my Gouverneur Faulkner
