The local football season will be
brought 10 a close Thursday, Thanks
giving Day, when the Marshalltow
high school eleven meets the Cedar
Rapids Tigers on the home field. To-
day it was feared the red and blue
team would enter the final contest in
a crippled condition, while the Tigers
are expected to take the field with the
strongest eleven it has mustered at any
time this year.
"Ty' Smith, fullback, and George
Willigrod, center, have been under the
care of a physician. and the latter was
sent home Tuesday and directed to go
TO bed Whitehill. halfback, also has
been Ill, suffering from an attack OF
grip, but is expected to be in the line
up tomorrow. There Is a probability
that all the Crlpples may get into the
game but their condition may slow UP
the team.
On the other hand the Tigers are re-
ported to be in the pink of condition
and have worked strenuousiy for two
weeks in preparation for this contest,
which they are hopeful of winning.
Marshalltowns ranking among the
teams Of the state depends largely upon
this game and the team. even tho II

terested in any official capacity in the
upkeep Of the highway. The purpose
of the meetins, as set out in a resolu-
ton passed n the joint session at
Belle PLANE. is ito consider concerted
action in counties thru which the Lin
coin highway rasses in Iowa" 0. Z.
Burrows, publisher Of the Belle PLANE
Union. was secretary OF the joint ses-
sion at Belle PLANE, and is issuing the
invitations. II is quite probable that
the general belief that the government
will soon be using the highway for the
transportation of army equipu ent and
supplies has given impetus to this ef-
fort TO get the road in the best posi-
Die condition.

the person must be familiar with
modern offt,e methods and must be
stenographer. The board would prefer
to secure man for this office, but ~
may have to get woman because OF
the scarcity Of suitable male help OF
this kind. In addition to the chier
clerk, who must be competent pract-
cally to manage all the details ana
routine work Of the office without the
help OF the board, the board Is allowed
two clerks for the office. One OF these
1t can pay a maximum of $50 a month
and the other a maximum OF $50. Ihey
would both be under the personal
supervision of the chief clerk, who,
under existing conditions, would have
a position lasting several years. The
clerks must know bookkeeping and at
least one be stenographer or typlst.
a very large volume of clerical WORK
is to be created by the new draft regu-
lations including that arising from the
missionaries that are to be mailed
soon. The board will have the task or
investigating and classifying each one
of the men after the QUESTIONABLE has
been returned, which will make 1t nes-
essary for the board to meet daily for
a long period of time. An idea of the
amount of the detailed clerical work
created by the new equations Is that
thirteen tons, or $4,000 pounds or
blanks, for the use OF boards in the
counties OF the state, have been re-
ceived by the adjutant general of the
state for distribution.

BIG TASK CONFRoNTS BOARD.
Permanent Office Force to Take
CHARGE Of Exemption Work.

The establishing of a permanent
office Of the local exemption board and
the employment of permanent office
help to be in charge Of it is to be made
necessary by the new rules and regu!a-
tions recently Issued governing the Sc
lectire CONSUMPTION. The most i'm
portant detail of the duty Is the secur-
ing of BILE help. The question OF
quarters probably Will be solved by
moving the office Of the board back TO
the second floor of the court house into
the grand jury room. Judges OF the
court practically have assented to this
ARRANGEMENT, and some other room
will be found for the grand Juries to
meet in. Because Of the constant in
terruptions it has been found practi-
cally impossible to continue the ordin-
airy work of the auditors office and
keep the exemption boards office near
by.
The question Of suitable help Is not
so easy to solve. Under the new
regulations the board is allowed to en-
ploy chief clerk for the office at
salary not to exceed 800 month. To
fill the requirements of this position
