(Frnm Wednesdav,s DaiIyN

NFTOIl w CuuCSudN = DdAA1.f
 While the Fair Oaks Orchard Go. is ready to begin harvesting the big gest fruit crop in very many years, the problem of securing labor for picking and packing is a serious one this season, said \. ]. Dickerson yes tcrday What to do with the crop is a problem that must be solved in a very short time, and the help situa- ton at the present time is seriously to be considered said this grower. Mir Dickerson's son is drafted into the army, as well as other young men who heretofore have looked after the gathering of the fruit. while on the other hand there are very few of ex- perience of an older age, who will accept a wage of over an Increase of g per cent of the rate paid last year.

Some Weird Claims.

The board has received already, some ten or dozen claims which are under deep suspicion. In at least two instances, the board is aware of dis crepancies, and is merely waiting un, til the men file afiidavits, to turn their cases over to the United States at torney.
 One young man announced to F. C. Whisman that he wanted to file a claim for exemption on the grounds he was the sole support of his aged and infirm parents. Whisman called his attention to the fact that the City of Prescott had recently paid his father S,000 for a ranch on which it is expected to develop an additional water supply The board is further informed that the father recently paid $l40O0 cash on a S35,00O ranch deal

ONCl Oll LllN lh oBibN Oi oii this, the young man persisted in filing a claim, and received his affidavits. He said he was familiar with the way the government did things, and didn't fear any consequences.
 One man has been before the board at least six times, each visit presaging a new course of action on his part to secure exemption. He had wife. He had an affidavit stating that he was born in lSS7-which means that he will be 30 years old in October. still within the draft age. He didn't think he was physically fit, although at least four doctors had passed him. Finally, he said he would file another affidavit, showing he was a shelter man. This person. the board thinks, has an idea that he can be exempted on one ground, if not on another.
 Monday afternoon, at p. m. the board will draw out the numbers and names of another batch of 794 men This will bring the total called up to 2,3S2. or O per cent of the registra- ton in Yavapai county. Unless the next 1.5SS names should produce an unusual number of patriotic citizens, physically qualified for war service, it will be impossible to secure the necessary 465 men, which represents the new quota of 423 plus an addition al 10 per cent to cover rejections and failure to show up at the cantonment.
 143 Exemption Claims.
 The following list gives the names of l43 men and the grounds on which they have claimed exemption. One of the lot has filed with the district board at Phoenix, a claim on industrial grounds.

Aliens All Exempted.

Although the board was able, ac- cording to telegram received. during the forenoon, to certify aliens who did not claim exemption on that grounds, it took no aliens. All Mex jeans said they preferred not to fight. All Austrians averred that they had no desire to mix mp in Europe's strug- gle Many of them had come to this country to escape military service, and were perfectly well satisfied to remain in peaceful pursuits. A few stated they would willingly bear arms in war of defense, ii not required to leave American soil.
 Among the large number of aliens on the first list. the following showed up and received instant discharges:
 Arnaldo Bisetti, Eulogio Prieto, Petronilo Esparza, Xavier Marquez, Delmiro Yanez, F. Rodriguez, John Mitrovich, Jose Cervantes, A. Figuer- roa, Jose Chavez, Alberto Perea, Juan Trujillo, Florcntino Rodriguez, Luka Rakich, Demetrio Alonzo, Miguel Gonzales, Ricardo Fernendez, Joe Campbell. Pete, Snjarich, Mike Jano, vich.

A complete resume of the work of the board on the first 794 men was made up yesterday for the press by (. H. Hinderer and w. F. Glenn, at taches of the local board. It discloses a condition, which, if not as bad as that found in many Eastern districts, is still much too bad for Yavapai county.
 The following table will give some idea of the standing of the registrants at inc end of the first week of actual work, and indicates progress not at tained in any county in Arizona or New Mexico:
 Number of men called ...... 794 Number who responded ...... 40 Failing to respond ......... 324 Of which there were:
 NllCHS -..... ''' '''' - Aliens automatically exempted Q. l56 Leaving for the army. (who were
 examined by doctors) ....... 334 Of these, there were rejected .... 70 Which leaves physically fit ..... 264 Claims for exemption ...... l43 Available for certifcation .... l2l
 The board has transferred 45 regis trants to other boards for physical examination, but will reserve the right to pass on any claims for ex- emption filed by any of these men. In addition, it has examined physically ten men transferred here from other boards, and will send the data to those boards for final decision.
 It will be seen by the above tabula- ton that 54 per cent Of those passed by the medical fraternity, have en- tered some objection to service. The percentage Of possible soldiers out of the quota actually called, however, is only l5.l per cent. At this rate, ii will be necessary to call every man on the list
 Among those to be called is high CT percentage of foreigners. This will complicatc matters. The fact, too, that the board must actually put 423 men in service, regardless of the number rejected at the training camp, and those who will break down under the first few weeks training, makes it more and more apparent that Yav apai county must eliminate the slack CT, sending down to the army every man who hasn't an honest real, sub Stantial reason for remaining in civil life.
