LIST OF CLIO BOYS
DRAWN FOR ARMY
FORTY-ONE SELECTED TO APPEAR
FOR EXAMINATION
and Discharges May Make
Necessary the Drawing of Others
Among the Registrars

Appended hereto is list giving the
seriel numbers and names of Young
men drawn for army service who gave
their post Office address as Clio at the
time they registered. 1t should be Jun
derstood that this list is unofficial.
Official notification will be made by mail
as soon as possible after authentic lists,
prepared in Washington, are received
by the Local Board for Genesee County.
The official notification will state the
place and time of meeting of the Local
Board and the date when the person
drawn should appear Failure to re-
ceive notification by mail, however will
not excuse any registrant for nom
appearance, as the posting of the list at
the headquarters of the board is consid-
cred legal notice. Every precaution
will he taken to see that notices are
carefully and properly mailed to the ad-
dress stated on the original cards. Re-
gistrants changing their post Office ad-
dress should keep the Board posted as
to their whereabouts.
AS We stated last week, seven, days
from and including the date of official
notification (the date on which it was
mailed) are allowed for filing claims for
exemption and ten days thereafter are
allowed for the completion of proofs in
such cases. Claims for exemption may
be made by the registrant or by some
other interested person, as wife, par
ent or other dependent, in his behalf.
Blanks for filing such claims and for
the taking of the subsequent proofs will
be furnished by the Board. There will be
plenty of time for every one to take any
necessary action providing they act
with reasonable promptness.
1t may also be said that the Local
Boards are given few discretionary
powers. The government specifies ex-
actly what numbers shall be drawn in
case the original list as given below
does not provide the required quota.
The scheme under which such additional
numbers shall be drawn had not been
made public at the hour of our going to
press, despite any statements to the con-
trary. Claims for exemption must be
supported by documentary proof and the
Local Boards are very properly denied
the right to extend any special favors.
1t would be well for every interested
person to get the correct idea, which is
that it is not the draft boards which are
summoning men to military service, but
the great United States government.
None of the men comprising these
boards sought the positions they are
filling and most of them, it is safe to
say, are making personal sacrifices in
order to perform public service that
must be discharged by some one.
The list Of conscripts for this vicinity
is as follows.

DRUNKEN MAN BEATEN.

Quite an unusual amount of eX-
citement was stirred up on Vienna
street Monday afternoon when an in
toXicated man was bounced from one
of the interurban cars, bleeding pro-
fusely from wound in his head, and
was followed up the street and as
saulted by the irate motorman. 1t
appears that the man interfered in an
altercation between the conductor
and another party, or took hand in
it, and came out of the contest very
much on the losing side. Marshal
Best took the man, who gave his
name as James A. Ryan, and his home
as Flint, in charge and after sur
geon had sewed up the wound in his
head, which required three stitches
to close, he was placed in the village
Jail. He maintained that he had not
offered to strike the conductor, but
admitted that he had interfered in the
argument. We do not know all of
the circumstances and do not blame
the car crew for maintaining decent
order on board the cars nor for using
any reasonable amount of force to do
so, but when they followed the man
on a public street and struck him,
when he was incapable of defending
himself, they were doing something
as offensive to common decency as
he possibly could have done and were
committing an assault for which they
deserve the full penalty the law al
lows. The man was later taken to
Flint and like his partner was fined
$500 for his part in the affair.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

The township clerk would remind
the directors of the various school
districts in the township that their
annual reports must be in his hands
not later than the first Monday in
August in order to entitle their re-
spective districts to participate in the
distribution of primary money. The
census, blind and deaf reports must
be sworn to, and the day, month and
year of birth Of those pupils who have
reached the ages of five and nineteen
years must be given. If child is
living with other than its parents the
reason why must be explicitly stated.
Care in filling every required space
in the blanks will save much bother

NEW DOG TAX.

Under the provision of law passed
by the last legislature tax of $500
will be collected for every male dog
kept within the confines of the state,
except in cities where the tax is fixed
by ordinance, and $500 for every
female dog. Officers are given auth
ority to kill any unlicensed dogs with
out notifying the owner. One prom
inent livestock man says that it hasn't
been so much an under-supply of
sheep as an over-supply of dogs that
is responsible for the scarcity Of NUT
ton.
