preferred should be given the work;
but since it was awarded to Stone

it could not have been entrusted In
more capable hands. These people
are converting the virgin plot of

With all modern converiences, with

immense, purchases of supplies par

THIRD MAN TO
BE EXEMPTED
Hugh Ryiand's Case is Considered
Twice by District Board
Before Decision is
Made.

Hugh RyIand is the third Lee
county man to be exempted from
military service after having once
been turned down by the district
board, says the Fort Madison Demo
crat. The other two, who received
notice of their exemption the other
day, are John Meister, Jr., and Geo.
Toole.
Like the other two, Ryland was
exempted by the local board, but
when his case was appealed to the
district body, as all such cases were.
that board reversed the decision and
certified him in for service. They
finally reconsidered his case, how
ever, and after looking into It more
deeply saw the local board had been
right after all. He received notice
of his exemption today.
