Today is the last call for the Red
Triangle war camp fund. The quota
here is nearly reached and it would
seem as though the few remaining
dollars ought to be brought in this
evening Cash or checks may be
left at Gokay's drug store which will
be open until 1890 tonight.

II is a rather delicate matter to dis
CUES in public print but something
should be. done to check the women
of bad character who infest and sur.
round every military camp It is. en-
tireIy useless to'arrost them and i'm
pose fine or imprisonment 1t is
worse than useless to drive them
away from one camp unless steps are
taken to prevent them from going to
another Most OF them are not
criminals but merely unfortunate
girls who need hep and are unable to
help themselves. Somewhere they
should be placed at work on war
munitions or clothing where they can
earn good wages under proper condi-
tons, supervision and inspection A
larger portion OF them would find that
it is more agreeable, profitable and
desirable to earn a living by legiti/
mate means than as q social outcast.
Under the old labor conditions such
an experiment would have been i'm
possible, but now when war needs
have raised wages of women to gen
erous proportions, it is worth while
TO make the trial. Han

The fire insurance companies have
taken advantage of the situation and
pushed UP their rates ten per cent,
and the new rate is already in effect.
While this increase is rather steep
in view Of the fact that insurance
companies do not employ labor in
the same degree as manufacturing
concerns, yet it is true that fire in
surance companies are so often hard
hit that the business is not always a
sure profit winner 4

NOTICE TO TEACHERS, PAR.
ENTS AND SCHOOL BOARDS

As county health officer, desire to
respectfully call atteh"ion to tn fol.
lowing regulation promulgated by the
State Board of Health, which rule af-
fects every school in Boone county as
we'll as the state at large:
"NO person shall be entered as
teacher, employe or pupil in public
or private school in this state without
having first presented to the principal
in charge or the proper authorities a
certificate from a licensed and com
petent physician of this state cert.
flying that the said teacher. emplOye
or pupil has been successfully yaCcI-
mated, or in lieu of a certificate Of a
successful vaccination a certificate
certifying a recent vaccination done in
a proper manner by a competent ply
sician."
All teachers, parents and school
boards of the county are called upon
to see that the order is strictly en-
forced in their respective schools,
since aside from the heavy penalty
| imposed for violation Of the law, the
exercise of that high patriotic duty
which we are now all called upon to
observe should prompt everyone to the
strictest vigilance in conservation of
the public health of our people.
In the comment offered by the Head
| light in it's recent issue relative to
this rule, it seems to be insinuated by
the editor that the county health Off.
GER is both the author and executor
Of the penalty imposed for violation Of
this salutary law.
Upon this point wish to respect.
fully call the Headlights attention to
the fact that an intelligent perusal Of
the law will reveal to him the legisll.
tive source of this penalty, and the
| further fact that the only function the
county health officer is called upon to
perform, or in fact can perform, IS to
assist in his official capacity in carry.

DRAFT NEXT WEEK
Each Time Gard is Taken From Wheel
80 900 Men Will Be Designated
as Part Of Army.

Selection day for the new national
army is approaching rapidly as the To-
cal exemption boards in the various
states complete their organization,
give serial numbers to the registra-
ton cards and forward certified copies
to Provost Marshal CrOwder. lndica-
tiOns are that the drawing will be
held next week
Administration officials still main.
tain strict silence as to the method to
be followed With the recent state
ment by Secretary Baker that the
drawing would be held in Washington,
however, coupled with the stress laid
upon serial numbering of registration
cards, the general outline of the plan
is clearly indicated
1t is understood that it is proposed
to place in a single jury wheel in
Washington one complete set of num-
bers. When a number is taken from
the wheel, the man in each exemption
district whose card bears that serial
number will be drafted Thus as each
number is drawn approximately 10000
will be drafted. or one in each exemp-
ton district If 100000 men are to
be called before the exemption boards
in the first selection, which seems
highly probable, only forty numbers
would need to be drawn.
There are numerous complications
which must arise, however, and the
method of solving can be known only
when the administration makes known
its plans. For instance, the number
of registered individuals in each dis
trict who are liable for military ser
vice will certainly not be the same
Aliens are registered but not liable
for duty. All this must be considered
in framing the regulations. Proyis-
ions must be made also to balance, as
far as possible, the chances Of mill
tary duty between the men in each
district, so that disqualification of a
large number in any particular dis.
trict for any reason will not put upon
those qualified additional likelihood of
being sent to the front
