REGISTERS NAMED
TO CONDUCT DRAFT
Clerk, Sheriff and Physician
to Have Charge.

Governor Stewart has appointed
Sheriff James T. Green. County Clerk
w. j. Darlington and DR.. e. F. Conyng-
ham. county physician. to serve as
members of the exemption board for
this county. These three officials, who
served as members of the registration
board on June 5. will examine all ap-
plicants for exemption from service
when the selective draft law begins to
operate in Missoula county. The policy
of appointing the members of tn
registration board to serve on the ex-
emption board has been followed
throughout the state.
The president will now appoint an
other exemption board, which will
handle appeals from the county boards
1t is believed that each federal court
district will have one Of these appeal
boards 1t is understood that a final
appeal from the decision of either the
county or the district board may be
made directly to President Wilson.
To-day will be the last day on which
enlstments in the army or the ma
tional guard will count towards the
states quota Of men to be selected
from those registered. Montana has
already furnished nearly 40 per cent
of its quota by enlistment, and the
excess, totaling more than 200 men,
will be credited to the states draft
quota. About 5000 men will be Sc
l'cled by draft from the state of Mon
tana and Missoula county's quota of
this total will be approximately l25
men, it is thought.

MerkeL Purchases Local
 Branch Harley-DaUidson Co.
Rochester, New York, Man Will Take Charge of Business Formerly Operated by Milwaukee COmpany-Business Has Grown So Large Until Foreign Company Was Forced
 to Dispose of It to Man Who
 Could Stay With It

Another big change has taken place i'll the motorcycle field in Birmingham. Charles A. Merkel of Rochester, N. Y, one of the biggest dealers in motorcy- cles and bicycles in the east, Thurs day closed deal by which he became sole owner of the Harley Davidson Sales company of 1616 Third avenue.
 The Harley-Davidson Motor company of Milwaukee, Wis, have had charge of the place for the last year, but on ac- count of the growing business at their Milwaukee plant did not wish to operate a retail place, although they had taken hold of the local place to build it up and to take care of what was considered the biggest motorcycle business in the south.
 The business has gone past their ex- pectations, requiring more closer detail attention than they had time to give it. So several weeks ago they let it be known that the Birmingham business was on the market, but the requirements needed to obtain control of this business were such that only someone who was really big in the game could handle it. There were a dozen applications from people well able financially to handle it, but it required more than money to take the Harley-Davidson business in Bir- mingham.
 MT. Merkel had long desired to come to Birmingham, as he considered that Birmingham had more real future to it than any other city in the south. When the Harley Davidson Birmingham proposition reached his ears he made a special trip to the factory to meet the officials of, the company. To make a long story short, MT. Merkel met all of the requirements of the HarleyD David- son company, and as stated above, the deal was closed on last Thursday night by Gus Castle, the Harley-Davidson southern branch manager. Mr. Merkel is 8 live wire in the motorcycle business, and will move to Birmingham to live and dig, to give to the Harley-Davidson riders the best that can be passed out in the way of service. Mir. Merkel plans to add quite a number of up-to-date im-

! provements to the present place, the latest tools and machinery, carrying complete line of parts and accessories. His repair department will be in charge oe competent mechanics and also will have a motorcycle service car to bring in work.
 MT. Merkel wishes all riders of all makes of motorcycles to make his place headouarters and offers to motorcycle tourists free storage for their machines while in Birmingham. He will continue to operate his big place in Rochester N. Y, but, as stated above, expects to make Birmingham his headquarters.
 To give one an idea of the far-reaeh- ing popularity of the Harley Davidson Motor Sales company here, an order was recently received from Shanghai China, for a motorcycle that was advertised in the Birmingham papers, a deposit re- ceived with instructions to ship at once. A special interpreter was necessary to read this letter. Birmingham welcomes Charles A. Merlkel, and assures him the continued success that the Harley-Da- vidson company has enjoyed heretofore.
