Telegrams from Governor Strong to o. D. Cochran, and G. J. Lomen, re- spective chairmen of the Divisional. and local exemption boards, announce designated as Divisional Exemption Board No. ?, while the local board will be officially known as Local Ex- emption Board, No. 9. The messa ges, which are dated Sept 2i state that the local board and the Divisional Exemption board, No. ? will have jurisdiction over the entire Second Judicial Division.
 On receipt of certain supplies due about October 18th, Chairman Lomen is instructed to arrange for the trans fer to Local Board No. of all regis tration cards covering the registra- tions in the city and throughout the division. Afterward. the Local Board is instructed to proceed under pro- visions of section of the army draft regulations and give the necessary serial number to all registered cards. The exact method to be pursued In the matter of marking serial numbers is not exactly clear, but in the opin- ion of Judge Lomen will be accom- plished by shuffling all the cards to- gether and afterward numbering them with red numbers without re- gard to the registration number thereon. The drawings will then be made. When this process will occur is not determined.

 BUENOS AIRES, Sept 25.-The great strike of railroad employees embracing the entire Argentine re- public continues with little present prospect of settlement
 The employees of every branch of the railroad service are out today and traffic is at an end.

Troops are now guarding the rail- road lines because of a fear that the strikers will commence a campaign of destruction. The strike IS already making itself felt in huge increase in the price of many commodities.

 PETROGRAD, Sept. 25.-An official statement today declares that the re- ports published in foreign newspa- pers to the effect that the Petrograd government is considering peace with the Teuton powers and has already entered into the initial stages of peace negotiations with Berlin and Vienna, are absolutely false, and ani- mated by a desire to influence public opinion in Russia.
 The statement declares tha: Rus sa has no intention of making a sep crate peace with the Teutons and will continue by the side of her allies un- til the end.
 The great interest taken by the Russian people in the American Lib erty Loan hs finding concrete express sion by the offer of numerous sub scriptions for the American war

Tn. life insurance companies have
compiled figures which abundantIY

her consideration to this digest Of
life experiences Of one hundred av-
ersge men: At the age Of sixty five
the record of these men are as fol-
lows, III rty five are dead, one rich,
four wea thy, six are self supporting
but are compelled to work for 4
living, fifty four, or over half the
number are dependent on children,
relatives, or charity. This is sad
state CT affairs end only can be
reradied by getting the proper kind
of business training in youth.
The average educated man gets a
salary Of s1,50e year. He works
forty years, making a total of $780,
900 in a life time The average day
laborer gets s225 per day, three hun
bred days in year or s675 a year.
In forty years he earns $4,000. The
difference, $4,000 equals the finan.
cial value of an education. To ac-
quire this earning capacity requires
about five months time or one hun

WHAT is BEHIND 1T?

A petition has been circulated
throughout the parish of Jefferson
Davis asking the court for custer
proceedings against the entire par
ISL police jury in connection with
the salts recently brought by The
jennings citizens committee.
When suits were filed by this COM
mittee the bill of particulars con-
taired some ffty-twO specific
charges ranging from mere negli-
gence up to pure and unadulterated
gait against the police jury in gen.
era, its members, the highway en-
aineer, the contractors and the gray
ell companies in particular. The po-
lice jury will file its answer to the
prayer of injunction in the district
court the first of the coming week.
Should the court rule for the injunc-
ton, all road work in the parish
will necessarily come to a stop, and
tn S fact is grating on the nerves Of
many of our good citizens who hope
to see the model highways completed
wi h as much dispatch as possible,
especially inAsmuch as should rainy
season prevail during the winter with
thc grades in their present unsettled
condition, travel will necessarily sus-
pend, and again, should the present
contracts be annulled, new contracts
would be let at a much higher figure
necessitat'ng the curtailment Of the
tJrk. sss
1t is understood that a Welsh cit
izen who signed the petition for
custer proceedings has since asked
to have his name scratched from the
list. He contends that he did not
understand that the proceedings were
to be brought against the police jury
but was led to believe they were only
against Col. Stevens and one mem
Der Of the police jury.
That the citizens committee which
is prosecuting the wholesale lega,
proceedings is generous is attestet
by the fact that it rendered one Of
the member Of the police jury an in
vtation to resign from that body be-
fore the big thing came off. The po
lice juryman did not, however, SCI
it their way.
It is our contention that the pro
ceedings brought by the committee
are premature and entirely to-
broad in their scope as regards t
the charges brought against tn
police jury.
