public will make more money than
ever before.
What will happen after you have
filed your claim for exemption? Your
various affidavits will be determined
by the exemption board. After all,
these boards have the say-at least
the first say; the second say is in
the hands of the appeal board, which
is another story.
If you seek exemption on the
ground of occupation your appeal
must go to the district appeal board.
Candidates for this new citizen
army, who are anxious to go to the
front, and have no home ties which
should not be broken, need only pre-
sent themselves for the physical ex-
animation. If this is passed, their
names will go into the records as &C
cepted rockies and in due time they
will be called to live in one of the
cantonment cities where their first
training will be received. That call
will probably not come before Octo-
Der.

Washington, July 18.-Did you reg
lister for the selective army? If so,
you have a number of things still to
do and do at once.
Remember, it is up to you Do not
wait for the mails to bring you any
notice or directions.
What exemption district do you live
in? If you do not know, find out.
Where does your exemption board
have its office? Go there and ask for
copies of blanks and forms. You have
some to fill out.
What is your number? Go to the
boards office and find out Every
name must have number, and as
soon as the board has done its job of
numbering, you will be able to find
out what your number is.
If the board has not vet completed
the numbering, find out when they
will, and go to see them again. Then
watch the papers for news from
Washington as to the drawing" The
numbers are all to be put in a wheel
or into something to be drawn by
lot. In this lottery your number will
either be drawn or not drawn; then
the lucky number will be posted at
| the headquarters of the board, and
| published in the journal. Anyway,
it is up to you to watch the bulletin
board or to read your paper and find
| out whether your number has been
! drawn.
You may get letter notifying you
that you are drawn, but do not wait
for the letter; watch the bulletin
board and the newspaper.
Your local board will next examine
all men whose numbers are drawn, to
determine whether they are physic-
ally fit.
You must present your self for this
examination, whether you think yoU
are fit or not; even if you have only
one leg, do not neglect to present
yourself. You are not excused until
you have been examined and the board
gives you a written certificate to that
effect.
The same is true as TO exemption
for other causes. 1t is up to you.
You may be a postal clerk or ar
employe of an arsenal, but you are not
exempted until you have set out these
facts on one of the official forms anc
had it made into an affidavit before
notary public and then presented
this affidavit to the exemption board
Those entitled under law to exemption
must go through the same forms a
those seeking exemption on the facts
If you have a dependent mother thi
fact must be set out on one of tn,
official forms and sworn to and tn,
affidavit filed within seven days afte
you are called before the board. l
proof is required, you may have to ge
an affidavit of two neighbors, house
holders, and file this with the boaro
within the next ten days following tn,
first seven days.

RECORD BREAKING
FARM IS CLAIMED

J w Morton, residing on the
Klondyke road, miles west of the
city, is what might be termed q
record breakin'" farmer. Mr.. Nor
ton, in company with his wife and
son, came to town yesterday with
one horse wagon loaded down with
new sweet potatoes, 'potaCoe slips
and watermelons. He had only been
in the city for about three hours
and he was about $50.OV IN cash to
the good,
Don't tell me that you can't make
money in Florida" said Hr. Morton.
Il am 90 years old, have this little
pony you see here and own so acres
of land, about Is of that in cultiva-
tion, but I have raised more stuff
on that this year than I can con-
veniently get away with. I wish
could recall about twenty years of my
life, I would give some of these
younger fellows a real demonstration
in farming"
Mr., Morton did have an unusually
fine lot of melons, some of them
ranging in weight from As to 20
pounds. And his sweet potatoes were
fine too. They were easily disposed
of at $500 per bushel and he was
having no trouble in disposing of his
potatoe slips at $500 per thousand.

Old Timers Help
Mitchell Drive
Cubs Near Top

Fred Mitchell is depending a
great deal on the help Of two vet
Grams to help him boost the Cubs
near the top in the American
league.
They are Jimmie Sheckard, left
fielder for the old Cubs in the
days when Frank Chance won
three pennants In row, and the
veteran catcher, Jimmie Archer.
Sheckard doesn't play ball any
more, but he makes great right
hand man for Mitchell as coach
and scout.
Archer will catch a few games
this year, not many, as Mitchell
relies mainly on Art Wilson and
Rowdy Elliott. But Archer is a
great coach for pitchers and can
be used as an emergency catcher
when needed.

TACOMA FANS HISS
CT. FALLS MANAGER
Herb Hester, Rowdy Manager, Is Given Severe Pal
ming by Crowds; He Gives Another Demon
stration of Dirty Baseball.
1T HAS BEEN A LONG TINE

1T HAS BEEN A LONG TINE
since a baseball player or man
ager has been Kissed by grand
stand and bleachers in Tacoma.
But Herb Hester, rowdy manager
of the Great Falls team, received
this verdict of the fans yesterday.
And he deserved 1t.
Tacoma fans have seen enough
of Hester's chip-on-the-shoulder
disposition this year to realize
that he is not the kind Of man
ager wanted in the Northwestern
league. But his actions yester-
day afternoon finished him In Ia
coma.
He first aroused antagonism
when he began abusing his out
fielders, after Lapan's long fly
had hit the back fence and rolled
in, giving him a triple. Hester
walked all the way to the outfield
to cuss his men.
Then in the ninth, when Suther-
land hit long one to center, Hes
ter deliberately got in front OF the
runner, almost making the Taco
ma pitcher stumble. He retarded
Suds enough so that sure triple
was changed to a two-base hit,
and a run that would have broken
the tie score, was prevented. Dirty
baseball! The worst of 1t was that
Umpire Finneran let Hester get
xx,tth Tho " n
ager has most of the umpires in
this league buffaloed.
GREAT FALLS WON IN THE
tenth, after a game marred by
several errors and featured by a
number of brilliant plays. The
visitors took two-run lead in the
second on three singles, and got
two more in the fifth on an error
and a bonehead play. Tacoma
tied up the score In the sixth.
PETER Japan, NEW TACO
ma catcher, just arrived from the
Coast league, made the original
skull play Of the afternoon. With
Hester on third and Shinn on sec
ond, Boeckel hit to Groeling. The
new Tiger shortstop pegged the
ball home. Lapan's alibi must be
that he thought the bags were
full. For without waiting to touch
Hester as the latter raced home,
he spun about and shot the ball
TO first for n dOuhle ont He was
too late, however, and both run
ner and batter were safe.

ehortstop who also came from the
