exemption, pilots, merchant marine

respect to dependents which renders
their exclusion desirable Ia married

any member of any well recognized
religious sect existing May IS, 1917,

war and whose religious convictions
accord with the creed.
Claims for exemption may be
made by the man himself or may
be entered by his wife, other de-
pendent. employer or any other
third person, the provost marshal
generals Office explained in state
ment. 1t also explained that any
registered man absent from his
home district need not return for
personal examination, but may be
ordered by his home board to be
examined elsewhere. A claim by
thr wife or third party must ba &C
companied by two supporting affi-
davits signed by heads of families.
Similar rules govern claims on
the grounds of other dependents,
the dependents or third parties to
be authorized to file claims with
supporting affidavits. In each case
the board must be satisfied that the
dependents are actually supported
mainly by the mans labor.
In the affidavit so made out all
separate incomes must be included.
The person filing such claims must
also present marriage certificate
and if not must have the afidavits
of two who were present at the
ceremony.
Another requisite is the necessity

conditions or may be granted for
prescribed periods.

After having been a juror in
District Court at Hibbing for
four weeks and then only having
been excused through the kind.
ness of Judge Hughes, the editor
OF the Miner has come to the con-
clusion that the jury system Of
service needs revision. While it
is the duty of every American
citizen to serve on the jury it is
our impression that two weeks of
service should be enough for any
man. st. Louis county has sufi-
Gent population to draw names
enough to make a two weeks ser
vice possible. In this manner the
busy man would not be forced to
lose track Of his affairs and the
short service would not neces-
sarily work hardship. Whether
the change could be made we can
not say but that it should be
made is conceded by all with
whom we have spoken on the sub
Ject. Since the legislature has in
creased the pay for jury service
and made the work more attrac-
tive, we feel certain that the tenn
per OF the ordinary citizen would
be conserved by the two weeks
service rule. The editor was very
much interested in the proceed
lngs at court upon which he had
the fortune to serve as a Juror.
He also was very favorably in
cllned to the 80 others serving
with him and was of the impres-
sion that the Hibbing jury was
lar superior to others we have
seen and also that Judges Hughes
and Freeman were the proper
men on the bench. Notwithstand-
ing all these allurements, we are
still OF the opinion that two weeks
us long enough to serve on the
jury. We are also of the opinion
that the grand jury should be
abolished and this opinion was
strengthened by listening to the
Township of Stuntz graft" case
in which there was not one item
OF evidence introduced of a con-
vincing nature. The system
makes it possible for any "sore- |
head" with crouch to have any,
one and everyone indicted for al /
most any old thing.

WE would suggest to the govern.
ment that the slackers could be
most effectively handled by small
squad Of armed soldies in an open
pit digging iron ore for war
necessities or making fine war
roads between here and Canada.
The ore is needed badly and the
roads are needed worse. If a
squad cannot handle them, put a
ball and chain on them. Pay them
SO cents a day and keep the
balance for board which can be
furnished by camp cook. This
suggestion is free. There is
absolutely no need of feeding the
bunch for year at the expense OF
citizens who have about all they
can do to make both ends meet
without the additional burden OF
fattening up herd of slackers OIL
the red rag order.

WITH this issue the Miner begins
the twenty-third year of its exist
ence. By error the figures on the
title page makes it twenty-four.
In beginning the new year we will
state that the paper is being pub
lished for the benefit of Ely and its
people and this, of course, includes
the editor and his family. In the
past it has been our aim to boost
and not to knock. This also will
be the aim in the future. Don't
however run away with the idea
that certain juicy items
rejecting on the character of our
people were not published because
we did not know about it. We
leave the dissemination of that class
of dope to the anonymous letter
writer and the gossip clubs. Some
day we will be certain of the ident
ity of the pusilanimous pup who
is anonymously sowing the seeds
of scandal, and then there will be
something doing. AS this is our
twenty-third birthday, we feel quite
settled down. This is in direct
contrast to being settled up. Many
of our readers and we ourselves
have not experienced the latter
feeling for many years. We are
willing however, to try anything
once and hope our ledger friends
will do their share to make it pos
sible.

In another column will be found
the list of names and numbers of
these who registered for draft in
this district. Only the names and
numbers are given in the Miner
while the posted lists also contains
the addresses of those OH the list.
These numbers are those given
to the registered men by the board
which prepared the list and NAV
not correspond with the numbers
on the cards you carry. The
drawing will take place in a few

will be good idea to cut out this
list and keep it for reference.
The rules for exemption have
been made and submitted to the
boards. Physical qualification will
be the first consideration. The
medical member of each board will
make the examinations and if this
is passed successfully then comes
the question of exemption.
Persons who must be exempted
or discharged by the local board
are:
Officers of the United States, of
the states, territories and the Dis
trict of Columbia; ministers of re-

people and the fullest response to
the plans recommended by Her
bert Hoover, food administrator,
for voluntary cOnservatin on the
part of the people. The people
are being taught to realize the
shortage of food. The total sup
ply of food now in the world is
definitely known. The present
rate of consumption is also
known. Within a few months
time, at the present rate of con-
sumption, the supply of food will
be exhausted in various parts OF
the world, and perhaps millions
of men, women, and children will
die of starvation. The situation
is not exaggerated. The most
rigid economy and conservation OF
food now available is necessary
to lengthen the period OF time
which that supply will last. 1t
is up to the people to save food
now for later use. These facts
are staggering in their import,
and yet the great mass of well-fed
Americans do not realize 1t. BE-
cause they are now able to buy
food, and can afford to waste it.
they do not relize that millions
of people in Europe are hunger
bitten and in a short time more
millions will be actually starving
The world shortage of food is now
a statistical fact; next winter ii
will be an actual fact. The PEG.
pie must be made to look ahead
and foresee the conditions which
will confront every American
household next winter.

The Cattle Nuisa nee.

Alex Sikala was before Judge
Schaefer this morning charged
with allowing his cow to run at
large, nights. After witnesses had
been examined the judge imposed
a fine of IS and costs or six days at
the county work farm, which was
later suspended after Sikala had
been given a lecture.
The case was brought as kind
of a test and to discourage the prac-
tice among COW owners of allowing
their animals to run at large con-
trary to the state laws. Garden
owners have complained of depre-
dations by cattle and it is about
time that stop was put to it. Sew
eral other arrests are on the sched-
ule. Cattle have ruined a great
many gardens in this city lately
during the night hours. The day
cow police" is worked to fragile
keeping the city free of the nuis-
ance. He should be given assist
ance. A man on horseback would
cover more territory.
Cattle owners should be made
aware of the statutes in the matter
of cattle running at large and the
most effective way of doing this is
by getting after the owners instead
of the cattle. Owners should be
taught that it is their duty to build
fences to keep cattle in or herd
them and that it is not the duty of
lot owners to build fences to pro-
tect himself from his neighbours
animals. The laws of the state
are plain on this point.

DEBATERS BREAK EVEN IN THEIR
 HOME TOWNS
Affirmative Side in Both Debates Win; Skill Is Shown Contestants
 in Their Points

The Douglas and Juneau debaters who held a dual contest in Douglas and Juneau last night on the ques tion: Resolved, That Immigration into the United States should be re- stricted by the imposition of liter ary test" won favorable decisions in their home towns, the affirmative side winning in both cases.
 Tn Juneau the affirmative was up- held by William Tas0hek and Madge Case of the Juneau High School; the negative, by Alice Bollinger and John Hopper of the Douglas High School
 In Douglas, the affirmative was represented by Elmer Jackson and Roberta Coryell of the Douglas High School; the negative by Wilbur Bur ford and Joseph Acklen. The teams from both schools presented their ar guments concisely and well. Miss Bol- finger, William Taschek and Elmer Jackson showed especial skill in the ready manner in which they broke down the arguments of their oppon- ents in the rebuttals.
 The contestants were well support ed by school mates, teachers and friends from both schools. Musical numbers from the High School or chestras of both schools preceded and followed the debates. At the close of the debate in Juneau, the result of the contest in Douglas was read by the chairman before announcing the decision of the Juneau judges.
