which is needed all the time by an

Men Discharged Cannot
Enlist In Any Branch

According to a recent communica-
ton from General Crowder, those
men who were called for examination
in the first draft for the conscript
army. and who have received exemp-
ton or discharged, cannot enlist in
any branch Of the service, but are
subject to call in the second draft, the
date of which has not been set.
When the local exemption board
receives word of second draft, one
of the first things it will do is to
look up all of those men who were
exempted or discharged in the first
call, and will possibly accept many
of them, depending on the new reg
ulations. 1t has been rumored that
married men will be taken in the Sec
ond draft, but no definite announce
ment has been made to this effect.
In case any person who holds a GER
tificate of discharge or exemption
should apply to recruiting officer
for enlistment, provided it was dis
covered he held such a certificate, he
will be turned over to the exemption
board and would be put into the ma
tional army instead of the branch in
which he wished to enlist, provided
h is physically fit for service.
If he should hold a certificate of
discharge on account of dependencies,
he would be put into the army regard.

War Department deeming that if a
man is willing go enlist in spite of
his dependents, there is no reason

FRIENDS

If you had all the lands and gold
It's possible for man to hold,
And if on top of that could claim
The greatest sum of earthly fame
Yet had to live from day to day
Where never human came your way
You'd trade the gold you had to spend
To hear the greeting Of friend.
'Tis friends alone that make us rlcn'
Not marble busts in glory's niche,
Not money, wisdom, strength or skill
With happiness our lives can fill.
With all of these we still should sigh
If never neighbor happened by
And no one shared from sun to sun
The honors that our work has won.
For fame is born of other lips,
Friends pour the wine the victor sips;
And friend makes rich the yellow
gold
BY which all earthly wealth is told
Possession nothing means unless,
We share the joys that we possess,
Paste is the brightest gem we own
If we must know it's charms alone.
What joys could come from splendid
deeds
That no one ever cheers or heeds?
Fame would be empty and absurd,
If of it it no one ever heard.
The richest man, without friend,
Is poor with all he has to spend.
Alone with all that could be had
A human being would be sad.
Not in ourselves does fortune lie,
Nor in the things that gold can buy:
The words of praise that please us
The lips OF other men must tell
AID honor, Oh which 10Y depends,
Is nut the verdict of our friends,
All happiness that mar. can know
TIE friend about him must bestow
