health for more than two years, and
il WAS known that but recently he
had suffered Il second slight stroke OF

During Saturday afternoon he had

some time past, going for the first
time in many days. to the porch and
getting about with some indication OF

firing, however. he called for ii glass

r'N or the FIRST lrali HuJ to make the
operations OF the local boards here
after, little more than rubber stamp
proceedings.
The plan was worked out at con-
ferences with local and district board
officials and approved by the various
state authorities. It's chief features
are that every registered man will
know his exact position and be able
to arrange his affairs accordingly
and that no man deemed necessary i'm
any important industry or needed at
home to support his family will be
called to the colors unless the mill
tary situation is desperate.
Working Out Details.
Detailed plans to govern the new
system are being made ready for dis
tribution to local and district board
members. Gen. Crowder in a formal
statement assured them that they
would be given ample opportunity to
familiarizc themselves with these
regulations before the machinery pro-
vided Is called into use. AS the next
call to the colors Is to be made under
the new plan, this assurance is taken
to indicate that the second call Is not
to be expected before the first Of the
year
The success OF the plan depends
upon the completeness Of the Ques-
tionaire. The questions to be answer
ed by the registered men have been
worked out with infinite care from
the vast fund OF Information CLEANED
from the first use of the draft ma
chinery.
Attorney to Assist.
Included in the plans Of the gov
ernmcnt. it is understood, is Il pro-
vision which will place the services
OF a trained attorney at the disposal
Of every registrant to assist him in
making his answers.
The new plan. Gen. Crowder points
out. settles the vcxing question Of
continuing the physical examination
OF registrantS until all have been
classified in this way.
Presumably it will be necessary to
examine men under the new plan only
when called up. or if greater speed
can be secured in that way. to exam
inc and classify physically all men,
bers Of the class that is under call.

WILL ASK BOARD
TO REPAIR ROAD
Agency Men and Commercial
Club to See Supervisors
About Resurfacing

If the efforts OF the Commercial club
and number of residents of Agency
are successful, there will be a fine
highway made between Ottumwa and
Agency this summer.
The plan considered is to have the
board of supervisors put layer OF
clay on the present surface of the
Agency right Of way road and have
this resurfacing rolled and conditioned
for good coat of oil.
A committee of Agency men, includ.
ing Watson Enyart, Dan Johnson. c.
E. Johnson, William Foster and Chef
Reynolds accompanied by DR.. Donald
McElderry, attended the lunch and
meeting of the board Of directors at
the Commercial club Tuesday and pre-
scented the road project. 1t was de-
cided to take the matter before the
board OF supervisors at an early date
and try to get action upon it.
The failure to get the oil to take the
right effect on the present surface of
the road, which is cinders, has led to
the plan that is now proposed. The oil
goes through the cinders and chuck
holes have formed in places making the
road very unsatisfactory in spots. 1t
is believed that with the cinder sur
face as foundation for new resur-
facing Of clay, easily obtainable along
the sides Of the road, the highway can
be made an ideal one for all manner of
vehicles.
The following committee combining
the Commercial club and representa-
tives from Agency will visit the board
of supervisors at an early date to lay
the matter before the county officials:
G. F. Spry, chairman: Carl T. Haw, J.
X. Mahon. Dr. Donald McElderry, c.
