A farmer we know made his will
and laid it away for safe keeping.
After he was gone and the property
divided up, the will turned up in the
clock, and things had to be all gone
over again. Everybody ought to have
a little tin box for such papers and
then keep it where the members of
the family will know all about it. 1t
may save lots of trouble.

LOCAL BOARDS READY FOR RECEIVING MEN
Members of Draft Bodies Being W0r- ricd by Relatives and Friends of
 Men Desiring to Be Exempted.

The last of the formal notices to men in Pine Bluff and Jefferson coun- ty who are liable fo, military duty. to report to the local selcctive boards next week for examination, have been mailed to the men included in the first call. and the clerical forces of the two boards are now virtually rest ing their oars. pending the begin ming of the really difficult work they will have to do next week.
 That there would be some errors in the handling of the great numbers nf cards, printed blanks. numbers. etc, was to be expected, and last night the attention of TW, Graphic was called to one of the errors. Formal notice to present himself for cXamn1- tiGn was received through the mail by Tom Jaggars, an attache of The Graphic until last week, when he re- signed to enter the Pine Bluff Mo- tor Truck company. On his notice 1t was stated Mr. JagSars' serial num- Der is 269. The official list previous lv posted and given out by the local board. showed MT. Jaggars' serial number to be 669. Palpably an error was made somewhere, but 1t can be located and rectified easily by the board.
 That members, of bothboards the be- ing worried and poster ed considerably by men liable to draft. and by rela- tives and friends of the men, has also become known. In this regard, 1t Is made plain by the provost marshal pcneral at WaShingtOn that the local boards can discharge man for one of only two causes: physical disa- bility, and dependents. Any other reason for exemptions must be taken up by the individual with tho dis trict board. Attention has been call ed also to the fact that the individuals may appeal to the district board from the ruling of the local board, and that the government also may appeal, eN- actly as the individual.
