Listening in on the telephone is not new thing, nor is it peculiar to New York. A newspaper core spondent in Dover, England, was summoned under the defense of the realm act the other day for attempt ing to elicit information and for communicating information concern ing the movement and disposition of troops which might be of use to Eng lands enemies. The defendant, it was alleged, gave important informs- tion to press agency over the tele- phone. In accordance with instruc- tions, the telephone supervisor lis tened to the conversation and took 1t down in writing. For the defense, however, it was contended that the information was commonplace. The magistrates upheld this view and dis missed the summons.

Dave Lloyd received a letter this week from his sister at Priestwich near Manchester. England, stating that sugar had been very scarce
 there for some time, but the day before writing she and her husband get quarter of 9 pound each until the next time-some time in the fu. ture. And they were out of butter two weeks but managed to get a
 puund at one dollar and two cents. Food conservation in this country means a great deal to our soldiers at present.

 On all cases taken to the District Board on appeal not one who was held for service by the local board was exem pted by the District Board. Thirteen who were released by the local board were held for service. The majority Of the detail work has been in the hands of L. N.

Burtch and Arthur Slaughter were the other board members. 4 num- Der of helpers were hired at the expense of the government at the be- ginning at the rate of $2.50 per day. None of the local board accept ed one cent of pay for their continu- ous service. This bespeaks a fine sense of loyalty and patriotism on the part of these gentlemen as their services have been required many times at night as we'll as during the day. The work has been quickly and accurately dispatched by the board in all instances, and Greenlee county has not been found wanting in any respect in the eyes of the powers higher up.

The local board composed of 4. H. Slaughter, l.. N. CallicotI- and l.. A. w. Burtch, has been very busy of late compiling data needed by the Government The data is to be sent to the Provost Marshal General Crow der and will be submitted to Con- gress in order that they may have definite knowledge of the draft as it stands the country over. The figures are a general summary and do not give the reader any idea of the detail work the board has had on their hands.
 The Government suggested that the boards call for voluntary help where ever possible. The local board acted upon the advice and the following teachers gave their time gratis and spent several evenings compiling the records: Misses Etta Young, Bond, Boehm, Val Verde, and MT. Allen.
 The Board also received by mail on Wednesday evening $500 ques- tionnaires which will be sent to men called in the draft but who have not been sent to any cantonment as yet The Questionnaire is in book let form consisting Of many pages end will give the men an abundance of detailed questions to answer about themselves.
