In this connection II should be
stated that the local board is in the
dark as TO all the rules promulgated
by the war department governing
exemption. For instance, although
repeated reference is made in the
rules about exemptions to farmers,
no specific directions as I what con-
stitutes a farmer has yet been given
out. The only definite statement as
10 exemptions is In the matter Of
dependent relatives.
II has been repeatedly stated that
in the first drafts, at least, only
those will be selected whose absence
will cause the least disturbance TO
business and civil life. Hence, those
young men who have any reason to
believe that they may be exempt u n.

PLENTY OF BUYERS.

n EARLESTON has just gone through experience
with public market which may serve to clear up
at least one doubt about the market proposition in
this town. There not much difference in the two cities
when matter Of this kind under consideration and what
difference there is consists in the greater conservatism OF
the state capital,
And Charleston found that the buyers turned out to
municipal market, lots of them. AS much cannot be said
Of the farmers and the produce men, but this explained
by the circumstance that no effort was made TO inform
them in systematic manner that the market was to be
opened 1t hoped that they will come when they learn
that there is market and that eager housewives flock to
it search Of fresh country produce.
The Charleston experiment is curbsone affair after
The model Of markets in some of the older cities and the
more modern war garden markets in Cleveland and other
cities in the center Of the country 1t to have been
opened with practically no further preparation than to an
nounce the location The public took the affair in good
faith however, and the turn out of pepole who wanted to
spend money seems to have opened the eyes OF ALL
Now, if this is the result obtained in Charleston il
fair assumption that it would be duplicated here so tar as
He public is concerned A little systematic effort to wake
up the farmers ought to guard against the disappointment
Of no farmers in attendance The practical certainly thai
there will be ample demand for what they bring ought to
induce them to come as long as they have anything tor
SALE at least
At all events let's have the market opened as soon as
possible so that it can be tested out and worked down to
business basis before next spring If it is necessary II
should be opened free Of all fees for anyone during the
fall and winter

EFFECT TOMORROW
No Child Under IA May
Work On Products Ship
ped Out of State.

WASHINGTON, Aug 81. - Tomor-
row the new Federal Child Labor Law
takes effect Hereafter no child under
II may be employed in any factory
mill. workshop. or cannery in the Uni.
ted States whose products are to be
shipped IN interstate commerce, and
no Child under 16 in any mine or quar-
~. The working day Of children ~
and Is years OF age in factories may
not be longer than S hours and they
may not be employed between p, M,
and a. m.
The enforcement Of the law has been
delegated by the Secretary OF Labor
to the Chlldrens Bureau Of the Depar:.
ment Of Labor and the head Of the new
childlabor division OF that Bureau Is
Miss Grace Abbott, OF Chicago. Miss
Abbott has been at work for several
weeks on the details OF administration
with statf OF temporary assistants
in order that there might be no delay
in enforcing the law.
The issuing of Federal certificates
Of age in states where the state re.
quirementS for proof Of age are below
the Federal standards has already be.
gun and the methods Of cooperation
with state officials have been worked
out. Although the Childrens Bureau
will have It's own permanent stat OF
inspectors and will, when necessary,
initiate Its own proceedings for prose,
cution In case Of violation, 1t will so
far as possible avoid duplication Of the
work of state labor officials.
Miss Abbott has had experience In
industrial matters in this country and
abroad. She has lived for many years
in an industrial neighborhood and has
visited Europe repeatedly to observe
industrial committees especially in
countries from which immigration has
been large in recent years. Since 1900
she has been actively engaged in work
on industrial problems as they have
affected immigrants, part OF the time
as executive secretary of the Massa-
chusetts State immigration Commits
sion and more recently as director OF
the Immigrants Protective League OF
Chicago. The permanent staff OF as
sistants will be selected from candi-
dates approved by the U. S. Civil Ser
vice Commission as result of special
examinations to be held on the 18TH
and 18th Of September.
