fill out and return the document. 1t
consists of Is pages, and will require
some study on the part of the persons
receiving them.
A further notice is posted in the
office of the local board. 1t gives
notice of the number contained in
each days mailing of questionnaires,
and states the penalties provided for
non-observance of the laws and
rules. Some of the more important
are as follows:
Failure to execute and sign and re-
turn the QUESTIONABLE within the
time specified constitutes an offense
punishable by Imprisonment not to
exceed a year, or immediate impress
ment into military service.
Registrars desiring to claim a de-
ferred classification may do so with
in seven days of the mailing of the
QUESTIONABLE by submitting same to
the local board, or any person may
do so for a registrant in the same
manner, supporting such claim by
proper affidavits. Space is found on
the first page of the QUESTIONABLE
for such claim, or on a duplicate
sheet of anne
The process of examination of each
registrant is considered as beginning
with the mailing to him of the ques-
tionnaire. Amy further action or
change on the part of the board will
be mailed the registrant.
Any duty to be performed by the
registrant, or the beginning of any
term of time during which any duty
is to be performed, will be communi-
Gated to the registrant by the local
board. And any claims made by him
or others acting for him, shall be
noted by the board, and the DISPOSE
ton of such claims shall be commune
Gated to both the registrant and such
other persons acting for him. But
the mailing of the notice and the en-
try upon the minutes of the local
board is construed as being notice.
(That is to say that the registrant
may not set up the defense that he
did not receive the notice. He must
keep advised.)
Failure on the part of any regis
trant or any person acting for him to
enter claims within the prescribed
time is considered a waiver of any
rights or privileges which he might
claim, unless he has previously ap-
piled for such extension of time and
it has been granted.
Registrars are enjoined to ex-
anime the notice posted i'm the office
of the local board from time to time,
untiNtheir numbers are shown to
have been sent in the questionnaires.
If your number indicates that a ques-
tionnaire has been mailed you, but
you have not received it, communi-
cate with the board at nee.
A careful study of the question
naire will give all the information
necessary for the treatment of that
document. Promptness and COM
pleteness in answering are the prin-
cipal things to observe in filling 1t
out.
The government has provided an
official adviser for the board and the
r~egistrants. 1t is his duty to advise
both the board and the men. But
his most important office is that of
advising the registrants of their
rights. For Lake county this office
is handled by Geo. r. Farmer.

WHAT CHEER SHOOT
GUN CLUB PUTS ON AN INTER
EsTiNG PROGRAM.

What Cheer Gun Club had an invi,
tation shoot Friday, largely attended
by the shot gun enthusiasts from a
considerable distance, and some
splendid sport was enjoyed. Enter
tainment of most hospitable charac'
ter was extended by the club and the
townspeople and every one had a
good time.
Ideal shooting weather was enjoyed
and the craftsmanship became re-
markably stiff. In the big event,
James Powell of Ottumwa tied with
Gilbert Farr of Ollie for first honors
breaking 142 out of $50. Numerous
shooters tied for second place on 141
and in this class was Ora Coleman OF
Mahaska. Francis F. Everett was
also there but the boys say he was
not shooting up to his usual form.

RED CROSS UNIT r TO HAVE A
SPLENDID EQUIPMENT.

DR.. ]. Fred Clarke, of Fairfield, yes
terday announced the gift of $2,91S
by Mrs. Charles Hutchins of Burling-
ton, for an X-ray equipment for Unit
R of the American field hospital corps
being organized by seven counties in
Southeastern Iowa, including Mahas-
ka county.
He also announces the gift of $3.50
by Mrs. c. e. Perkins of Burlington,
for the equipment of laboratory for
the unit.
No time has been specified when the
unit will be sent to France. The or.
ganization will be ready to leave to,
day. However, some Of the mem
bers believe that the order to entrain
will not be issued for at least two
months.
Unit r will have $4,000 worth OF
equipment when it leaves Iowa. Bur
lington has been liberal in QUILTING
the organization. The Red Cross so
ciety of that city has supplied about
SO 900 worth of hospital equipment
1t is probable that an ambulance will
be donated by Burlington men.
The gifts OF Mrs. Hutchins and Mrs
Perkins will mean that the Iowa unit
will have the finest equipment avail
able for any hospital in service in the
war zone.

BABY BEEF CLUB.
EVERY FARM BOY SHOULD EN-.
LIST IN GOOD WORK.

4 Mr.. Jackson of Ames will be in Me
haska county this week and in cor
junction with County Agent j. c. Der
will work in the interests of the low
Boys Baby Beef Club. The followinj
reasons are given why every farm DO,
Ishould enter the contest.
1t is a patriotic duty. You want e
do the right thing by your country il
its hour of need. 1t affords opportuni
ty for serving your state and country
by increasing the beef supply. Tbs
soldiers must have meat and you car
help supply it by feeding one or more
baby beeves. There is a duty for the
youth as well as the elders.
You may win a part of the $4,000 Of
fered in prizes. The state champion
trophy is valued at $4,000. 1t is worth
working for. The boy who wins it will
receive statewide recognition as a
cattle feeder.
The trips to the International Live
Stock Exposition in company with ov-
er hundred other club winners will
be both interesting and educational.
It will give you an opportunity to see
not only the greatest live stock show
in the world, but also the Union Stock
Yards and markets, the big packing
plants and other important places Of
interest in Chicago.
The trip to the junior short course
al Ames means a visit to the Iowa
State Agricultural College with its big
farm, beautiful campus, fine buildings
and stock. 1t includes a weeks short
course instruction in corn and live
stock judging and growing, planned
and conducted especially for juniors.
There is the chance to win the prize
money at the international Live Stock
Exposition, the Iowa State Fair, the
Interstate Fair, and at the county and
local shows if you have your calf well
fitted and wish to exhibit him at these
shows. Prizes for the 1918 contest
amount to over $4,000.
You will make good profits. Aside
from the prize money that may be won
there is the opportunity this year to
make good profits on baby beef. Last
year the beef club members made an
average profit (not counting prize
money! of s27.79 per calf, after all ex-
penses were paid. One boy made
S393.5S from the sale of his calf and
the prize money which he won. Anoth-
er boy made s252.00 in profit and prize
money. There is a world shortage of
beef and prices and profits will no
doubt be high next fall. ...... ..
A good way to use your corn crop.
If you have grown an acre of corn in
the acre contest this year, the baby
beef contest will give you a chance to
make the best and most profitable use
of your crop. At the same time ii will
help keep the farm fertile for future
crops instead of robbing it of fertility
as would be done if you marketed the
corn directly.
Will give valuable Experience. Feed
ing and caring for the baby beef will
give you valuable knowledge and eX-
perience that you can get in no other
way and which will be OF great use to
you in the future.
