Help the Exemption Board.

Editor the Missourian: The Govern
ment has completed its draft of regis
tered men, and everyone knows his
order of liability for service. In a
few days the machinery will be put
in motion again and the actual Sc
lection of men will begin.
But the local exemption board has
responsible task before it. 1t is a
work that undoubtedly will cause
some criticism, but everyone can be
assured that the members will do
their best. Sheriff T. Fred White
sides, DR.. w. A. Norris and President
L. c. Anderson will do their duties
well and conscientiously.
The best thing, however, for the
young men of Boone County to do is
to let the exemption board have few
administrative duties, or the selec-
ton of men. Why cannot the neces-
sary 100 young men go to the recruit
ing stations within the next few days
and fill the county's quota? This
would take all the disagreeable work
away from the exemption board and
would give the county an honor
which would never be forgotten, one
that would go down in the county's
history.
Let us recruit our 100 men during
this week. Let us give that honor
to Boone County and make it the first
county in the state to fill its quota.
the state filled its quota of
for the regular army, a
quota of more than 5000 men. Why |
can't Boone evade the draft, but |
eyade it in a noble way?
Company F of the National Guard
here needs only ten more men. We
ought to fill our local company to war
strength tomorrow. l.

WILL EDISON WINl

Again all eyes are turned toward
the Wizard of Invention" Thomas A.
Edison. This time it is not with mere
passing wonder, slight inquisitive-
ness, as to the nature of the newest
invention. 1t is rather with a desire
justified, because the reports have it
that Edison's new invention will do
away with the submarine danger.
The inventor is said to believe that
there is a certain oil which. flOated
over the surface of the sea surround
ing the ship. the periscope of the ap-
preaching submarine will be clOuded.
The submarine would then have TO
submerge and clean its periscope be-
fore coming to the surface again.
Last week at a convention of the
employees of the Edison shops the
signed message of the inventor was
read. 1t said: I'VE now have all of
the nefarious elements under con-
troll. The last jinx has been re-
moved"
With this promising message. the
result of the experiments are eagerly
awaited. The world is looking to
Edison.

THE OPEN COLUMN
A Place for the Pacifist.

Editor the Missourian: The aviation
service has been named by army men
as the most effective weapon in the
hands of the United States. but few
have suggested the hospital and am
bulance corps as instruments with
which TO strike down the enemy. The
aviation service appeals to the wild
west" spirit which Europeans popu-
larly suppose dominates America. but
the hospital and ambulance service is
more typical Of the real spirit of the
nation.
The Allies need new men to fight
the battle, but of equal importance is
the conservation of the armies al
ready in the field A fighter saved
from death by proper medical care is
another recruit won. He is saved
from determination that he may again
take his place upon the firing line. a
menace to the enemy.
The toll of doctors and ambulance
attendants has been great. There is
need for more to dull the points of
German bayonets and bullets. With
these agents of humanity behind the
firing line, enemy shot and shell lose
their effectiveness and German "ef-
ficiency'' receives setback.
