CROWDER ORDERS
HALT ON METHODS
Certifying Only These-Who DO Not
Claim Exemption-Leaves Nothing to
Draw Prom on Second and Third
Calls and Summons Men TO Service
Out Of Regular Order Of Allotment.

Special to Times Republican.
pes Moines, Aug. 1S.-Local boards
in some instances are calling the whole
list of persons registered and are GER
tifying up only those who claim no
exemption regardless of whether their
order of. obligation places them within
the quota according to an order just
received from the provost marshal gen
eral He declares that this Is Illegal
and unauthorized and must be stopped.
Reports received concerning few
local boards are to the effect that
these boards are proceeding to cali
thruout the whole list Of persons regis
tered, then to certify up only. those
who claim no exemption regardless OF
whether their order Of obligation
places them within their quota, leaving
the claims of exemption undecided or
merely formally allowing all of them
without discrimination.
In effect this course permits volun-
teering among registrants. This meth
cd is illegal and unauthorized. All
registrants stand in an equality before
the law except as the law DEGREES an
inequality The law DEGREES an In
equality only where exemption boards,
after properly exercising their func-
tons. have granted exemptions or dis
charges.
Furthermore, the method results in
calling men for military service out OF
their order. Local boards should GER
tify those who claim no exemption
rapidly but they should also act on
claims for exemption rapidly and with
in the time prescribed by regulations
and certify the cases at once.
District boards should also certi-
fy promptly to local boards those who
claim no exemption but they should
also act promptly on the cases Of those
who do claim exemption and especially
on the cases of persons whose order
of obligation is early.
"The first thirty per cent Of TIE
quota may be composed Of men whose
cases are decided altho the cases OF
persons Of prior obligation are still
pending in district board, but great
care must be taken by. local boards to
send no one to military duty whose
order or obligation is SO late as to
make it improbable that he will be
within the total quota.
by Sept. 10 when the second call
is made there will be enough appealed
cases and cases within the exclusive
Jurisdiction of the district board de-
cided to make up the second thirty
per cent from men whose order. Of on-
ligation is early and who are hence

PRICES OF FEED SENDING TOO
MANY cows TO SLAUGHTER
ING PENS.
VAN pELT HOME FROM
CONFERENCE WITH HOOVER
Iowa Dairy Expert Returns From I'M
portant Meeting Held to Consider
Dairy Industry of Nation-Products
Decreasing at Time When Most
Needed.

Waterloo, Aug. 1S.-The live stock
| industry of the United States is today
in the most precarious condition of its
history. according to Hugh G. Van
Pelt, who returned home yesterday
from Washington, D. c., where he at
tended a conference with Herbert G
Hoover, food administrator, on the
subject of conserving and increasing
the output Of dairy products in this
country With Mr.. Van Pelt at the
conference was NJ. d. Mum. president
of the national dairy council.
The paramount subject discussed at
the conference was the high price OF
feed" Mr. Van Pelt said. Mr.. Hoover
realizes. and so does everyone else who
has paid any attention TO the matter,
that the price OF feed is sending the
COW to the slaughter house and there
by decreas sing dairy products at time
when they are most needed. Extensive
exportation to our allies and manipu-
lations are probably largely respon-
siple for present prices. How TO re-
duce them was a matter that received
a great deal OF attention at the con-
ference.
Hoover Means Business.
Let me say right here that I con-
slider Mr.. Hoover one of the most re-
markab!e men in the United States
today He is a deep thinker and con-
yersant upon every subject OF 1000
production and conservation. 1t made
no difference at from what angle we
presented a phase of the present i've
stock crisis. Mr.. Hoover grasped 1t IN
stantly and was ready with some in
telligent suggestion that tended for re-
lief and the betterment of conditions.
Mr.. Hoover is probably the busiest
man in the country and he means bust
ness. that is the best thing about him.
Mr.. Hoover expressed the opinion
that this Is the darkest hour before
daylight, He says that before snow
flies there will be a great readjust-
ment of affairs and that prices will
come down. But the all important
problem is to make the farmer see
things in the same optimistic light.
II we fail in this, the sending OF cows
being MIXED to the slaughter mouse
will continue and the scarcity of dairy
products will continue.
Briqht Prospects Loom Ahead.
Despite unsettled conditions at the
present time prospects were never so
bright for the breeder Of live stock.
especially dairy animals. Our allies,
when the war is over, will need thou
sands of milk cows. Mr.. Hoover made
this point most plain at our meeting.

and have it mean Good Morning if he
is carrying around a burden of pain
and suffering? He can't.

Morning and means it. His name is
