ASK ALL LAWYERS
 ID DO THEIR BIT

Every member of the Garland
 county bar is going to be asked to do
 his bit" at a meeting of the lawyers
 to be held at the court house at 2 o'clock this afternoon, and it was urged yesterday by Circuit Judge Scott Wood that every lawyer attend l this meeting that all might have an understanding of the work before them.
 The new questionnaires which must be filled out by every man within tae draft ages, are such lengthy and complex itemization of an individual that 1t is not possible tor average lay men to fill it out properly, and all over the country the lawyers are lend ing their assistance in a public way. Each questionnaire must be filled out inJel.igently else some of the men subject tO the selectiye draft would perhaps suffer an injustice, and t is to this end hat the assistance of the lawyers is being asked by the govern ment.
 The questionnaires will be sent out 100 each day beginning December Is, by Allen Hotchhiss, clerk of the local exemption beard The questionnaires must be returned within seven days
 It WillNthus be seen thai particmarly after the first seven days. there will of necessity have to come back filled out properly 100 of these blanks every day for thn ragiet etrovtc ,1 i.~o.r, .,-ttt ;-. the requirement, of the government.
 A local board has been named from the attorneys but that board would lind the task impossible to handle alone, and it is for this reason that all the lawyers here, as elsew. ere, are being asked to take part in the work.
 It is anticipated that the lawyers win open Up headquarters where the registered persons may come with their Questionnaires and where as sistance will be given them in ftlIug out the blank from early in the morn ing until late in gae evening IL is anticipated that some at orneys will be on hand ali the time. and that by forming the lawy CTS into committees half days of service can thus be given without working a hardship on any members of the bar
