SETS CALL DATE
Local Exemption Board Will
Probably Set Dates for
Aug. II, 13 and ID
FIRST SSS MEN WILL Be SUMMONED
1856 Men Will Be Called for Each of
These Days. Notices Will Be
Mailed Naming Date and
Place of Examination.

Saturday, August 11th, Monday,
August 18th and Tuesday, August
18th, will probably be the days set by
the Valley county exemption board for
the examination of the drafted men.
The officials expect to have the list
checked and ready for posting Mon
day, and five days after, or on Satur-
day, the first third, or 1876 men, will
be called for examination. The Sec
ond third of the 538 men drafted will
appear on Monday and the last third,
on Tuesday.
Besides the posting of the list at
the court house, which is considered
sufficient notice to all drafted men,
w. B. Shoemaker, clerk Of the board,
will mail notices to every man on the
list. However, the posting Of the
list at the office of the board will be
deemed sufficient notice to charge
each man with the duty of presenting
himself before the board on the dates
set. The notices sent out by the board
will instruct the men called when and
where to report for the examination.
Every man called must appear be-
fore the board even if he intends to
claim exemption. To men found ply
sically disqualified the board will is
sue certificates which will explain the
further duties of the men to whom the
certificates are issued. If the drafted
man is found physically qualified and
intends to claim exemption, he must
file this claim within seven days after
the call has been posted, being al
lowed an additional ten days in which
to file proof of the claims. The ex-
emption board will pass on this claim
within three days after the filing OF
the affidavits. Any men who do not
answer the call and appear for the
physical examination will be posted as
liable for military service.

Owing to dry weather and very
little precipitation crops will be the
shortest in Valley county for the past
eight years. It is now predicted that
wheat will average to bushels to
the acre, oat crop very light, flax fair
yield, rye good yield and hay crop
light.

DIRECTOR URGES NEED OF
REMAINING IN SCHOOLS

A communication from Lewis T.
Eaton, director of education of the
Billings Polytechnic institute, calls at
tention to the stirring words of DR..
P. P. Claxton, United States commits
sioner of education.
ut is of the utmost Importance that
there be no lowering in the efficiency
Of our system of education.
"From the beginning of our parti-
cipation in the war we should avoid
making the mistakes which some
countries have made to their hurt and
which they are now trying to correct.
"No schools should close its doors
or shorten it's term unnecessarily. All
young men and women in college
should remain and use their time to
the very best advantage.
"When the war is over, whether
within few months, or after many
years, there will be such demands
upon this country for men and wo-
men of scientific knowledge, technical
skill, and general culture as have
never before come to any country.
The world must be rebuilt. This coun-
try must play far more important
part than it has in the past in agri-
culture manufacturing and commerce
and also in the things of cultural life,
art, literature, music and scientific
discovery.
"Therefore a right conception of
patriotism should induce all students,
who cannot render some immediate
service of great value, to remain in
college concentrate their energies on
their college work, and thus be all
the more ready and fit when their
services may be needed either for war
or for the important work of recon-
struction and development in our own
and other countries when the war
shall have ended"

GOOD ROADSDAY
rkUVESSMIESS
Glasgow Business Men J>W5. !;
*. Campaign to Improve
ST. Highways.
WILL COMPLETE WORK next WEEK
Entire North Country Road Will b
Improved. Results Well Worth
:; Effort Expended. Other
Roads to Be Fixed.

While the allies were making their
big drive in Flanders against the Ger
mans, the business men of Glasgow
were attacking the bad spots on the
north country road Tuesday and
Wednesday. There may have been
much difference in the two "drives,
yet the attacking spirit must have
been much the same.
The road fixing campaign was a
complete success. Even those who
had been the most enthusiastic over
getting it under way, were never more
elated with the results of two days
work.
The tour was made under the
auspices and direction Of the Glasgow
Commercial club, the business men OF
the city donating their services and
the use of their cars.
The party left Tuesday morning
about 9 o'clock, and began the work Of
road improvement. Every low spot
was filled, rocks were removed, and
those that were too large to bulge
with pick were blasted out.
About 40 men were in the party or
the first day, and they pitched in and
worked with pick and shovel until
blisters and callouses appeared or
hands which were used to pens anc
pencils, but this did not deter them.
Eighteen miles of road were COW
cred the first day out, and besides sat
isfying themselves with the results
the workers were complimented on al
sides for their good work.
Colonel E. D. Coleman was in thu
party the first day and he was con
spicuous by his absence from th'
scene of physical endeavors. He gav'
as his explanation that commander
always rides ahead to lay out th'
work for his men. The colonel and hi!
staff mapped out the route for th'
others to Baylor, and then waitet
there for them to catch up.
Wednesday the party had shrunl
in numbers, but not in enthusiasm, ant
IA miles more were added to the goot
road area. By night there were 3:
miles of first class road betwee,
Glasgow and the north country. A
party from Baylor started out to NEE
the Glasgow caravan and they WORKED
on six or seven miles of the road.
Some day next week the work OF
the road will be completed. Working
parties from Glasgow, Baylor, Ophein
and Glentana will all be out on tn
same day, and the entire distance o
the road will be improved where neces
sary.
Among those who were in the part,
the first day were: L. E. Jones, F. L
Sherman, w. w. Hurd, o. E. Mason
Olaf Enger, G. w. Hansen, T. A
Hauge, Perry Peterson, J. c. Smar,
s. J. Rumble, Lincoln Working, Glen
Maris, C. S. Miles, E. D. Coleman, A
E. Smith, Tattan Transfer Co., G. W

and the Grossman Motor Co.

that you are called, although you also
will get notice by mail. You have
seven days after that list is posted to

Your husband does not understand

Nevertheless, you can get copy Of
the form from the board and file the
claim for exemption and get the nee.
essary affidavits filled out, regardless
of your husband. The board will then
pass on the facts of your husbands

13. My number wasn't in the first
call. but is only few numbers away,
according to the newspapers. What
shall l do?
Nothing at all about it for the time
being. The board will try to get the
quota out Of the first call. If it does
not succeed it will call more. It will
post new list and if you are included
that time it will notify you both
through the newspaper and by mail.
IA. am way down near the bot
tom Of the whole list and way outside
the first call. But a friend insists
that if l ever expect to claim exemp-
tion to do it now.
Friend is wrong. Your case is not
before the board at all and won't be
until it reaches you in subsequent
quotas or drafts. You can't file claim
for exemption that the board will rec
ognize until it officially calls you by
posting your number. All the num-
bers are drawn to determine the order
so as to be able to notify approxi-
mately when they will be needed by
the government so they can make
plans accordingly If you are near the
bottom of the whole list it will take a
long, long war to reach you

DIR. HOYT MADE SECRETARY
OF THE DISTRICT BOARI

The district exemption board for
the eastern half of Montana met Sat-
urday afternoon at Great Falls and
organized. Ex-Governor E. L. Norris
Of Great Falls was elected chairman
of the board and DR.. M. D. Hoyt OF
Glasgow was elected secretary.
The district board will not go into
active session until the local boards
of the state get their work we'll under
way, and appeals start coming in to
the district headquarters.
The district board will have its Of
fees in the Federal court room in
the Federal building in Great Falls
The men on the board were selected
from various parts of the state, and
represent practically every line OF
endeavor.
DR.. Hoyt accepted the position or
the board at the behest of Governor
Stuart.

to serve? have seen stories in the
newspapers that anybody who married
after war was declared wouldn't be
exempted because they shouldn't
have married.
The fact that you have been mar
ried since war was declared or even
since the conscription law pas passed
doesn't effect your status at all. There
was warning again "slackers' who
were marrying to evade service, but
there never was an official order. The
local board isn't concerned about the
date of your marriage if you are de-
pendent solely on your husband for
support. If so he can file his claim
for exemption and the board will pass
on it. That holds true of persons
married up to the date notice of call
is given. Whatever may be the local
boards personal opinion as to your
husbands marrying you, possibly to
escape military service, it will decide
the case solely on the question Of
actual dependency.
10. My wife and I have to make a
lot of hurry-up arrangements If | am
taken for service. When will l know
if am accepted or have been rejected
or given an exemption?
The local board will decide every
claim in three days after you have
filed your affidavits claiming exemp-
tion.-. If you are rejected because of
physical disability you will bet a GER
tificate telling you just what to do. On
exemption claims if the. government
believes you have been excused with
out reason, it will appeal your case
to the edistrict board. That board has
power to take your exemption certifi-
cate away from you.. You also have a
right to appeal.
IL. ! am engaged in work I believe
more essential to the government thar
service in the army. What shall I do?
You just appear before the local
tboard and go through all the process
there on the day notified the same as
! if you didn't expect to get an indus
trial exemption. If you are certified
to the district board as qualified for
service then you will get notice of it
by mail. You then have five days in
which to send an industrial appeal
You can get blanks from the local
board for all this.
IL. Will have a chance to work
up to a commission in the national
army?
You will. Every opportunity will be
! afforded you to do so.

WHEAT FILLING WELL
DESPITE HOT WEATHER

The dry and hot weather of the past
month has caused some uneasiness
among the farmers of this locality as
to just what effect it would have on
the filling of the wheat which is now
taking place. Reports are coming in
that in spite of the long dry spell and
the general lack of moisture, that the
wheat is filling remarkably we'll in
most cases. Rain is badly needed and
if it comes soon, it will be a great
boon to the grain crop and garden
truck. Potatoes are badly in need of
moisture at the present time if the
yield is to be anything but normal.
