COUNTY BOARD

 ID END Of LABOR
Announces More Men Ac- cepted or Exempted, With
 Five Cases on Hand.

is rapidly nearing the completion of it's work A total of 629 registrants were called for examination by this board and Of this number 570 respond ed and were examined. Approximate ly one in eight was rejected because of physical deficiency, 69 being dis charged on this ground; 115 were dis charged because, in the opinion of the board. they are of more service to the nation as breadwinners for their de- rendents than they would be in the service: 10S claims were thrown out as unworthy; 273 filed no claims. Of this last number, many filed claims, but failed to support them by the proper proof in the specified time, time, which came to and end last Saturday, and by this failure they were automatically certified for ser vice as though they had filed no claim of any sort. In the final accounting it appeared that 5S failed to appear and stand their examination. The board has been very lenient in these cases, pre- ferring to reopen any of them that appeared and showed any reasonable cause for their non-appearance on the day set. and in this way they have cleared their docket of several cases that were listed as '"Those who failed to appear"
 No more cases of this sort will now be re-opened, and all of the 5S who have not appeared for their eXamina- tion will be searched out by the de- partment of justice, and their where abouts made known to the adjutant- general. When this has happened, they will be called into the service, and their failure to respond at that time will give them the status of de- serters from the army, and they will be dealt with as such There arc now, only five cases on the docket of the board. Two of these were held for re-examination, and three were transferred to other boards. They cannot be reported on until the boards who made the eX- aminatiOns have reported to this board.
