WORK.
Members of the local h

Members of the local EA
Board, and the Legal Advisory BIZ,
and the associated members of the
advisory board have been working
overtime during the past week or ten
days, in order to keep up with the
work in connection with sending and
properly filling out the questionnaires.
So far 6S7 questionnaires have been
mailed to registrants in Delaware
county. This morning the board mail
ed questionnaires to registrants Nos.
GIT to 6S7, and from now until Decem-
ber 31st seventy-one will be mailed
each day. Commencing with January
1st, 1918, the Board will mail seventy
missionaries each day, until the en-
tire list of registrants has been cover
ed
The filled in questionnaires are COM
ing in thick and fast and makes it
necessary for the board to work un
til the small hours of the morning to
keep up with the work. During the
day time the members of the board
are kept busy answering numerous
questions pertaining to the operation
of the Selective Draft regulation
The local board has sent notices tc
quite a number of the registrants stat
ing in which class they are placed.
All those claiming exemption or de-
ferred classification on account os de-
pendents, will be classified by the To-
cal board, and those claiming exemp-
ton or deferred classification because
of industrial or agricultural reasons.
will be classified by he district board.
AS soon as the district board passes
on their questionnaires that board will
make such returns to the local board,
which in turn will notify the regis
trants as to their classification.

MANCHESTER HAS NEAT LITTLE
HOSPITAL.

Manchester now has an emergency
hospital, located in the city building
on Main street. Workmen have been
busy converting the room used as
firemen's hall in the city building in
to as neat little hospital as could be
imagined The large room has been
divided into three wards by parti-
tion walls which can be moved at
little expense. and the entire room
is painted in enameled white. On the
floor has been laid highly polished
linoleum and everything made perfect
ly sanitary. Two of the rooms are
large enough to permit three beds
each and one of the rooms can be
used as an operating room, if desired.
Those back of the movement, felt that
hospital, even on small scale, Is
as essential to any community that
makes pretense at being p-to-date,
as good schools or churches. Patients
can come to this little hospital for
treatment and not be to the expense
of railroad fare to some distant city,
besides being where relatives and
friends can easily reach them. Most
important of all, however, is the SER
vice that can be rendered by such an
institution in case persons figuring
in accidents of one kind or another.
The rooms are furnished with stan
dard hospital beds and tables. and
when everything is completed we will
have mighty neat little hospital
right here in Manchester.
80 The people are cordially invited to
visit the little hospital and inspect It.
They are also asked to bear in mind
that this is not an institution for one
physician. Every physician in Man
chester is urged to make use of tn :,
hospital whenever his practice de-
mands such Physicians outside of
Manchester are also welcome to make
Just as generous use Of the hospital
as the limited space will permit.
Since visiting the rooms the other
day it occurred to US that it would
be a fine idea if the entire east half
of the second floor Of the city build
ing could be converted into an emer-
gency hospital, If satisfactory ar
rangements could be made for COIN
Gil chamber and firemen's hall. The
benefits of a hospital, even though it
is on a small scale, can never be
stated in dollars and cents.

statements which distort the facts on

will follow.
False statements in support OF
claims for exemption, or deferred
classification, constitute grave men

A DISGUSTING SIGHT.

Persons who happened to be at the
Illinois Central station Saturday night
had an opportunity to witness one Of
the most disgusting and sickening
sights imaginable. When the clip
per" pulled in gang of fellows
stepped off that train that bore unmis-
taxable signs of where they had been,
and where they had spent money
which should have been spent for
'necessaries of life or some gift for
the wife and children When the large
crowd Of people were endeavoring to
get onto the west7bound and south
bound trains, number of the men
who had apparently been in East Du-
buque, showed little regard for wo-
men and children as they staggered
along the walk. One woman and lit
tie child were actually crowded off
the walk and down onto the tracks.
The most disgusting part of it all
however was the profane and vile Ian,
guage that was indulged in by those
booze fighters The language that
these men indulged in might have been
appropriate for one of East Dubuque's
booze parlors, but it certainly was de-
cidedly out Of place at passenger
station. where decent men, ladies and
children have a perfect right to be,
and where they should not have to be
subjected to such sights as were wit
messed last Saturday night. Blessed be
the day when men will find it impossi-
BILE to make beasts of themselves, in
East Dubuque or anywhere else in the
country.
