WHY GARMANY DISTRICT WILL =
VOTE OFF SPECIAL TAX

Garmany school house was blown
down by tornado last May two years
ago. The majority of the patrons Of
the district petitioned. to the local
board of trustees to build the school
house back on the ground where it
formerly stood. The petition was re-
jected by the local board of trustees.
They then appealed to the: counv
board. The county board returned rt
and said they would have to stand by
the action of the local board.
!, The school is now taught in
school house within 200 yards of ths
district line. In other worca It was
moved from this same school, house
to where it blew down in order that
it might be in tie centre of the dis
trict, by former board of trustees. (
The patrons offered to vote an ex-
ira two mills tax to replace the school
house in the centre Of the district.
Garmany patrons do not want to pe
credited with going backward, but
want to keep up with this progressive
age, and for that reason wanted 70
have the school house REBUILT within
the reach Of all the children of rne
district, and they do not feel Ike It
Is right or just for them to- be paying
taxes for the school when the children
are not in reach OF same. There are
more children going to school in ad-
Joining districts or not going to
school at all than children who Went
to school at Garmany last session. TO
+ more exact there were 2e children
enrolled last session and 80 who
either went to school in another dis
trict or did not have any school at
all in reach and therefore we're not
in school. And the 90 would be Ia
easy reach OF the school at the for
mer location.
We went to our present county sup
erintendent of education and asKe9
him if there was any way to get tnIst

place and he said there was none ana

CROWDER CHANGES ORDER
TO MOBILIZE
Unfinished Camps, Congested Rai'-
road Traffic and Lack of Equip
ment More Delay in Assem-
bling of Draft Army

Washington, Aug. 25.-Lack D.
aouipment for the draft army ana tns
unfinished condition of the moDll'~
zation camps has been complicated
with congested traffic conditions. as
a result Provost Marshal Genera
Crowder today ordered further de-
Law in the mobilization. The order
forecast this morning by the Inter-
national News Service makes it appear
certain that it will be well toward
the end of November before the mo-
Utilization is complete and that none
OF the draft forces will be available
for service in France until next July
or August, at the earliest.
I General Corwder ordered that only
5 per cent of the first draft instead
of 80 per cent as originally. ordered
should be called to the colors on Sep
tember 5. '@@
On September 19 40 per cent OF each
state quota will be summoned instead
of tie 80 per cent originally called
for September Is and later delayed
until September 1S.
On October another 40 per cert
will be called. The remaining 10
per cent will be called "as soon there
after as practicable.
In issuing his orders Generol Crow
der explained the revision Of the
schedule as neeessitated by the con-
gestion of railroad traffic in early
September through the moving to
camp Of national guard units, max
ing it ;inadvisable to move any large
percentage of the national army"
@The object in calling 5 per cent, I"
iiegexpiains, sis to place in the camps
enough men 60 form a skeleton orgao-
ration to assist in receiving and as.
similating the large eonstingents.
,..s. White Men Only
seFor, this reason it is required that
local boards send only white men and
so far, as practicable that they send
men with some military experience or
cooks. In making this selection. order
numbers are not controlling but care
must be taken not to send men whose
order of call is so late that they will
not be within the quota of the boards"
General Crowder then instructs the
boards not to send the entire 5 per
cent on one day but to distribute their
transportation over a period of days.
Thanks to Boards
Attached to the orders changing the
mobilization arrangements General
Crowder appends an appreciation Of
the efforts of the civilian boards to
secure the first draft in time.
Reports received from practically
every state in the union show that
every state would have had ready
much more than 80 per cent of its
quotas September 5, and the vast ma
jority of them would have been ready
with their entire quota or. that date"
General Crowder said
''This service has required a month
of the most exacting work on the part
of boards. This work was consum
mated under adverse conditions and
is in large part uncompensated. 1t
stands as one Of the most significant
expressions of substantial patriotism
and devotion on the part of $4,000 men
selected from among the best citizens
of the country"

dier's wage and support available
from relatives, as stated in the ru;-
ings of the provost marshal general,
is ground of discharge.
Clearly Expresses Law
This opinion clearly and adequate
ly expresses the intent of the law II
this regard.
Paragraph B., compiled rulings oy
this office No. 6, addressed a state Gr
affairs where the parents or other re-
latives of the wife or husband are
able. ready and willing adequately
to support the dife and children, II
any, during the absence of the nus
band. This ruling was responsive 70
a class of cases that had been brought
to the attention of this Office, where
claims of discharge had been made
on the ground of dependency on a
husban as matter of fact VISA not
dependent upon himself. The ruling
directed the attention of local boards
to the fact that SCRUTINY of cases CT
this kind might disclose that no dis
charge was advisable.
''It was not intended that Paragraph
B of the compiled ruling should ap-
ply to the case of the head of a family
whose family at the time of his sum
mons and prior thereto were and had
been mainly dependent upon his "a
bor for support.
Instances in which local boards
have been in error in respect to these
two classes of cases are rare. 1t was
to be expected that with some $500
local boards there would be some un
uniformity of decision in this regard.
To provide against this ununiformity
Section 81 of the regulations provides
for the automatic appeal of all de.
pendeney cases to the district boards.
District boards should scan the: de-
cisions of local boards on questions of
dependency and wherever 1t apr ears
that such decisions are Illegal Gas in
the two cases just mentioned or 9th
erwfseJ Or where these decisions seem
to be so far ununiform as to result n
an unequal operation of the law. the,
district board should reverse or nod
ify the decisions of the local board"
Mobilization Order
In his message to governors re-.
specting new mobilization orders
General Crowder said in part:
"The congestion of traffic that will
De entailed in the early part of Sep
tember by the movement Of the Ma
tional Guard into training camps axes
it inadvisable to attempt to move any
large percentage of the National Army
on September 5.
"The object of calling per cent.
is to. place in the camp enough men
to form a skeleton organization to as
sist in receiving and assimilatins; the.
large contingents. For this reason it
is required that local boards send on
ly white men and so far as practicable
that men with some military expo
rience or cooks. In making this Sc
lection order numbers are not cou-
trolling but. great care must be taken
not to send men whose order of call
is so late that they will not be WITHIN
the quota of the board.
"In order that it may not be aces-
sary to make any special railway
arrangements and to prevent con-
gestion of normal railway traffic local
boards should be instructed to send
quotas on each of FIVE successive days
beginning September s."
