Exemption Excerpts

Despite the extreme importance of
the district boards work, the open
door" policy has been adopted by the
group of appeal officials. All thru
the day the door to the improvised
judgment room in the new federal
building stands open while hundreds
of visitors pass thru the crowded
halls, some hesitating long enough oc-
casionally to be ushered on to their
proper destination. Members of the
draft board admit that the door is
placed ajar in order to "let In the
draft"
An English sparrow flew into the
office of the board in the midst Of
the deliberation yesterday afternoon.
The fact that the bird was of Briton
rather than Teuton descent caused
Secretary Rogers to chuckle. while
Doctor Clinton appeared disappointed
that the flying visitor was not stork,

AERoPLANEs UPSET MANCHUS

From the East and West News.
 Aeroplanes played large part in the upset of Gen. Chang Hsun's restoration of the baby Emperor. A few bombs dropped from the sky upon the imperial palace so frightened the doughty warrior that he sent Prince Tao to ask the reabdl- cation of the boy. The palace has ex- isted for hundreds of years. and for the first time part of It's roof was destroyed by bomb dropped from an aeroplane on the morning of July T. Empress Yu swooned when she heard the explosion other members of the simperial family were equally scared. They begged Chang Hsun to go as far away from the palace as possible. because they assumed the bombs were dropped In hope of killing him. Though veteran warrior, Chang Hsun himself was greatly frightened by this, to him. new feature of warfare. Prince Tao hurried his family to the Wagons-Lits hotel and begged that no more flying ships visit the palace. Soon after the baby Emperor disappeared.

"The beautiful, productive and profit able vegetable gardens at numerous coal mining camps in this district this year, were made possible and stimulated by the Coal Operators association, under di- rection of MT. H. c. Miller, an expert horticulturalist." said Frank V. Evans
 Armed with thousands of government pamphlets. bulletins etc. instructing with lectures, distributing seed free, MT. Miller has spent months in his garden cam paign. Not only has he urged truck growing. but in his work among the miners he has made suggestions and shown the good women, white and col ored how to plant and cultivate flowers.
 This work shows for itself today in Q perfect transformation in living con ditions atsthe camps. Not only are horne comforts in evidence. but the cost of liv- has been greatly reduced by home produc- tion."
