THE RULES OF DRAFT
ARE MADE CLEARER
Useless to Appeal to Provost Mar.
shall GeneraI-No Class 10
to Be Exempt.

Washington.-A deluge OF person
al inquiries concerning future steps
in the army draft and Of pleas from
industrial concerns for exemption
of their expert workers. drew from
the provost marshal's office a state
ment that questions must be address
ed to local boards and that claims
for industrial exemption must go
later to the district boards.
No general class of workmen will
be exempted, Provost Marshal Gen.
eral Crowder told the coal produc-
ton committee, which sought infor-
nation whether miners would be
left at their work. Appeals to the
provost marshal's office from the
employers on behalf of their work
men can accomplish nothing, it was
explained, as regulations promulgat-
ed by President Wilson govern all
exemptions.
THE question of whether man
peaceful pursuit than in military
service is a matter to be taken up
with the district board" said an an
nouncement, land for that board to
determine in the light of the circum-
stances surrounding each individual
case.
| Procedure in case of claim for
or agriculture is explicitly outlined
in the regulations. Only the upper
or district board has jurisdiction
over an industrial or agricultural
claim for discharge. Before man
has a standing before the district
board he must first be certified to
it by the local or lower board as
physically qualified for service and
must have had any discharge claim
made before the lower board decid
ed adversely to him.
Must File Proof.
"He has five days after he is Ger
titled to the upper board in which tc
file claim for discharge and five days
more in which to file proof. All
claims for exemption or discharge
except claims for discharge on in
dustrial or agricultural grounds, ART
| uoCluou originally ny the IOCdl Vi
lower board"
Most individual queries to the pro
vost marshaps office come from
men who are absent from their place
of registration and have been sum
moned for examination. Such ;
man should apply in writing II
the local board in the district wher
he is registered and request an OF
J der directing him to appear 70
, physical examination and possibl,
exemption or discharge claim, be
fore the board Of the district II
which he is now living. This re
quest should designate definitel

they refuse to sell. And not only that,
but they refuse even to put price on
their holdings, saying they prefer wait
ing until after the tobacco is stripped,
when they can sell it with more salts

wiring the very last cent out of the
hapless buyer During the past week
the buyers were out in force, and it
was no unusual thing for half dozen

been riding York county, too, but the
best crops there appear to have been

county tobacco.
AS nearly as can be figured about rs
per cent of Lancaster county's tobacco
crop has been contracted for. Of that
remaining unsold much will be stripped
before it is sold. The buyers know
this, but they are still securing the
county, picking up every crop that can
be had.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
Continued From Page ~

tobacco is sold by the farmers on con-
tract they are never able to strip it out
and handle it in the same careful man
ner that prevails when they expect to
hold it for while. Another thing to
be taken into consideration is the fact
that on this late green tobacco, while
the wrapper portion has not cured out,
the filters have; this means a much
larger percentage of filters and short
poor tobacco at that.
The buyers claim to be trying only
for the best crops, but one has only to
ride in the country and examine the
crops that have already been bought to
learn that 80 per cent of them are poor.
The farmer with good crop knows it
just as we'll as the buyer, and he nat
urally figures that if the poor crops are
bringing twenty cents, the good ones
can not bring less, with the probabili-
ties in favor of their bringing more.
There are, however, little or no pros
poets of lifting even the poor crops at
twenty cents at this time.

renowned his engagement. But he
also took fencing lessons from one

At the end of that time he returned to

face and. being called out. instantly
ran his opponent through the body

of dishing up trots, one-steps and
waltz numbers until July B.
