NO WAR FOR HIM;
AFRAID OF A UNIFORM

MONTESANO, Sept. 8.-He drove
up to the court house in Ford char
lot that was only less resplendent
than his purple necktie and red
socks. His clothing was as loud as
is ever sold over a country counter.
His shoes were polished tan and he
smoked a gold-tipped cigarette as he
waited for his number to be called
by the exemption board.
The doctors couldn't find anything
the matter with him and gave him a
certificate to prove it. This he pres
ented to the exemption board clerk
along with a clipping from a pink
newspaper saying:
"I am an Indian, unmarried, from
the Oakville reservation. I claim ex-
emption on the grounds set forth in
this article"
"Uncle Sam Decides Poor Los
Limbs Must Remain Unconfined."
The article went on to say that the
war department had decided not to
call the "blanket Indians" into SER
vice, believing they would be awk-
ward in uniforms and of little SER
vice in trench warfare. When the ex-
emption clerk shook her head the
dandy Indian expostulated with her.
He declared he would feel cramped
in a uniform, that he was entitled to
exemption. and must insist upon hav-
ing 1t.
The local board has decided the
cramped copper brother must tell it
to the district board.

think that the people who realize the

take up this worthy man and organize

Organization Counts.

All around us we see organization,
organization, organization. Germany
was organized for war. The remand
er OF the world was not. War was
Germany's specially. She was not
more powerful, apparently, but she
was organized.
In fact, we had little taste of that
same thing in domestic affairs last
year. From the time that he was de-
featcd for the United States senate,
Cole. l.. Blcase began to organize his
, forces for the next Office he should run
for. The other side was unorganiZed
and the result in the first primary was
snrprisc. Between the two primaries
an organization was perfected and the
nght was won, but by a margin that
was none TOO flattcring.

lnmma may confront the people or

You corn-pestercd men and women

Cincinnati authority, because Il few

A small bottle eG~frcczone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as 1t is inexpensive and is said not to
