ARE YOU SINGING?

More than 800 people gathered in
the park to listen to and take part
in the Community Singing which Is
now an enjoyable feature of Audubon
Municipal entertainment each Non
day evening.
There is only one fault to find.
There is a tendency to let the peo-
pie on the platform do ali the singing.
Now nearly everybody has an Old
song book containing The words of
the oldfashioned songs that are the
enjoyable part of these sogns and you
should bring this with you to the
lark Gather closer to he platform
and sing.
Kentucky Home" "Swanee Riv-
err, Dixie" Annie Laurie" and
many more are familiar airs that
eve. ybody knows and these are tie
songs that the soldiers are singing in
c-mp and on their marches. The stay
at-home soldiers must sing too to
keep up the patriotic fervor that is
necessary to keep everybody on the
job with enough courage to "see tn !
war through"

u. s. APPEALS ALL
DRAFT EXEMPTIONS
All Exemptions for Dependents by
the Lower Board Are
AnnuIled,

Uncle Sam will appeal all exemp-
tions for dependency to the supreme
district exemption board.
Local exemption boards received
this information from the war de-
partment Monday.
AS result of the new ruling
many of those exempted by local
boards will go back on the anxious
seat until final action by the supreme
board.
Governor Harding Monday APP
pointed an attorney for each of the
112 local exemption boards in Iowa.
All Cases Appealed.
Each of these attorneys have been
instructed to appeal to the supreme
district board all exemptions by local
boards where exemption was made on
account of dependents.
Wholesale exemptions on the
grounds of dependency led to the new
ruling. 1t became apparent the latter
part of last week that local boards
were using no uniform standard for
exemption of men claiming depend
ents. Some boards construed the
rules to apply only to actual depend
ency while others maintained the
mere physical fact of marriage was
sufficient to exempt any registrants.
Governor Harding has appointed
T. NJ Rasmussen of Extra, to repre-
sent the government in all of its
claims in Audubon county.
