Married Men and Their Wives --
 Can Thank Pine Bluff Board
Definite "Yes or No Deci sion From Provost Marshal General On Matter o f Exemptions Obtained
 Through Efforts f Local Officers

Thousands of married men in all parts of the United States, and the wives of those men, can thank mem bers of Jefferson county selective board No. 1, with Pine Bluff as its jurisdiction, for the final and definite ruling by Provost General Crowder which has exempted and discharged temporarily from service in the new National army, virtually every mar ried man of draft age, in the entire country.
 Not until the local selective board raised the question, and pushed and urged final and definite ruling, was there to be found anywhere in the country any effort to excuse married men from service, if the wives of those men were able to live while the men themselves were in the army ser vice.
 Alex H. Powell Walter c. Hudson and Dr. E. c. McMullen. members of the local board, raised the point, in- sisted on a clear and definite ruling, and by that insistence, brought about a condition for which thousands of married men, and their wives are thankful.

Letter To the Senator.

"Your wire answering ours relative to the claim of Henry H. Haizlip was duly received and the board wishes to thank you for your carefully prepared answer. Upon receipt of this telegram from you we were at loss to under stand where you received the informa- tion therein contained but the morn hing we received your wire we receiv- ed officially the orders of the presi- dent signed by Provost Marshal Crow der of August 27th. and then it was that your position was made plain to us. Our entire board was ill Little Rock yesterday and had conference with the governor and Major General Friedman in the adjutant generals of flee and found that al! parties were unadvised as to this ruling until we I called their attention to it. For their information we had copy of your telegram which, as above stated. we
 think was justified by the rulings of
 August 27th. The district board was somewhat upset because they have al-
 ready passed on fifty per cent of the
 counties and it seems that consider
 able work will have to be done over
 as none of the local boards in Arkan- sas have exempted married men but
 on the other hand they followed the
 ruling of August Sth. However, be 1 fore we left Little Rock Governor
 Brough sent message to Provost
 Marshal Crowder and we hope this
 message will bring a clear expression ! from Provost Marshal Crcwder and
 that no further misunderstanding will ] arise on this very important question 1 Again assuring you on behalf of
 our board of our just appreciation of your message and further assuring
 you that our telegram to you was l merely in the interest of correct un- delstanding of this matter, we beg to

G0Ycrn0r RrOugll'S Message.

Following is the message sent by Governor Brough to the provost mar shai general and the reply:
 Please answer, yes or no, for the benefit of both local and district ex- emption boards, as to whether all mar ricd men are exempt under revised regulations of the 25th inst, and give an explicit construction of Paragraph B, your number 40, 21st. Please in- dicate whether the fact that father and mother of either husband or wife arc able to support would justify ex- emption of married persons falls ulti- mately back on the question of de pendents.'

 Among automobile men the tire with no name, the tire which tells you it is good-but doesn't prove it. the tire that you never heard of be- fore, the "chauffeur's graft" tire-all such worthless stuff is known as the "gyp" tire.
 The "gyp' tire is named for the "gyp" horse, the latter being the horse that you buy of the gypsy.
 All gypsies have horses for sale. You see them at the roadside, the horses picketed, sad and thin.
 Each gypsy can tell you wonderful stories about the merit of his horses. But the wise farmer buys no "gyp' horse. He knows that next morning, when the horse is lame, the gypsy will have disappeared.
 The wise buyer of automobile tires buys no "gyp" tire. If the tire blows up-as it will do-flattens cut and wears out, there is no responsible concern standing back of it.
 Better buy "gyp" horse than a "gyp' tire. For if you buy horse from a gypsy, you at least get horse. He has four legs, some kind of a mane and tail, and usually at least one eye. Even a gypsy when he sells you horse must sell A HORSE of some kind.
 But the maker of "gyp' tires can sell you anything or nothing. You haven't X-ray eyes. you cannot look on the inside, you cannot know whether what you think is rubber really IS rubber or a mixture of rub Der and something else.
 You cannot tell whether the fabric which is to the tire what your mus cles are to the body is intended to wear or TO WEAR OUT.
 Back of every tire worth while there must be an honorable name and a great organization, for it takes great factories, great buying power, expensive machinery, well-estab- lished industry to produce a tire

Matter is Interesting.

The manner in which the local board brought the situation to final solution is interesting, and indicates again the undoubted intention of the members of the board to be absolutely fair in carrying out the rules and regulations under which the men are being se- lected for tho new Ntional army.
 From the first, there had been gen. eral misunderstanding about the lia- bility of married men. No one ap- peared to know exactly what to accept as grounds for exemption of married men. The board finally decided that it would exempt man who has a wife and at least one child, but that it would not discharge merely because he was married, without children, ii his wife was not absolutely dependent upon him. V'
 In the meantime, the members of the. board studied the regulations Two or three local cases came before the board to becloud the matter, and in the case of Henry Hazilip, we'll known floe4t5man, the board found op- portunitWfo make a test.
 Docu1tents Show Negotiations
 MT. Haizlip appealed to the dis trict board from ruling of the local board. and also wired United States Senator Joe T. Robinson for advice in the matter. Senator Robinson's tele- graphic reply was shown the mem bers of the local board by Mr. Haiz- lip. :. .ra
 In the order in which the several communications were forwarded, the following telegrams and letters show in detail how the married men of tho country came to be granted exemption temporarily from military service, the term Temporarily" being a matter of form.
 Telegram to Senator Robinson.
 "You wired Henry H. Haizlip yes terday as follows: Under presidents order you are entitled to exemption file claim and proof with local board as reauireA.by law Under Section 20 paragraph H of Regulations and Compiled Rulings of Provost Marshal General No. $ Section B provides that where parents or other relations of wife or husband are able. ready and willing to provide adequate support for wife and child and that they will receive support from other sources there is no real dependency rendering discharge advisable. MT. Haizlip and his wife appeared before our board Testimony showed that they had one child; that MT. Haizlip's parents were able to support his wife and child and further that Mrs. Haizlip's father. E. M Porter, of Memphis, Tennessee was wealthy and able, ready and will ing to- support her and child. There fore, regardless of our personal de- sires in the matter, we were compelled to certify Mr. Haizlip as qualified for military service and disallow his claim of exemption. Much has been said lately about married men being ex- empted and your telegram to Mir. Haiz- lip seems to settle the matter and for that reason we request of you by what authority you sent such telegram and where do you find the regulation

The Senator's Answer.

"My opinion expressed in telegram to Ha;zlip that he is entitled to eX- emption was based upon statement of facts as follows: Hsizlip has wife and child dependent upon his efforts; has no income; wife and child will have to look to other members of fam ily for support this statement was made to me by friends of Haizlip. Under orders of president recently complied and issued rules of provost marshal general dated August 27, 1917. I am of the opinion that the mere fact that wife's father is will ing and able to support her while the husband is in the service is not suf- ficient to justify denial of exemp- tion The wife is entitled to look to her husband for support unless the parents arc in the habit of supporting the husband or the wife and para graph B relates to cases where the husband, as a matter of fact is not de- pendent upon himself if for instance the husband is being supported by his father or his wife's father he would not be entitled to exemption. If in good faith he is supporting his wife he is entitled to exemption even though there may be relatives or other persons willing and able to support her. The existence of dependency rather than the fact of marriage is the legal test. Any husband whose wife has no separate income and who himselfs has no adequate income and whose wife is supported by him ap- pears to be entitled to exemption. Of course l do not intend to attempt to influence the action of your board. My telegram was for the information of Haizlip. If your board has acted upon the matter, I presume he can, if he desires, appeal"

proud of Uncle Sans army and will

comes, which he believes will be
soon. The time is uncertain. but he
says transports and conveys are not
unexpected any time now.
Excitement is plenty at present,
says the young Bemidji soldier, but
in peace times he believes it would
be quite monotonous with little op-
portunity of much advancement in a
business way.
The battery was recently trans
ferred from Ell Paso to Fort Wads-

warmly welcomed along the route.
The spot where the battery is in sta

equipped for coast defense. Band
concerts are featured and the men
are allowed privileges which break

no reason for parental worry.

W. E. Dean has received an inter
esting letter from his son, Edward
Dean, a member of Battery D, Fifth
Field artillery in station near New
York city, in which he discourses to
Dean pere on the value of whitewash,
such as seems to be a mania in the
army as a sanitary precaufion for
everything. The young soldier sug-
gests whitewashing the coal before it
is put in for the winter.
In reference to getting up early the
writer speaks of the strident bugle
which many are prone to believe
emits silvery notes. etc. He states
the army bugle has a voice like a
crow and it's early call calculated to
break the windows in any well reg
ulated household. Mr.. Dean has
tried to see what he could do with
one in the way of noise making but
says not peep could be got out
of it.
The young soldier expresses him
self as in love with army life and
states the government is looking
closely to the comforts OF the men in
