NOTARY TELLS SLACKERS

The following from the Beaumont
Enterprise serves to fully illustrate
the meaning Of American Patriotism:
husky men without dependents,
who have been drafted, would do well
to get some notary public other than
George 0. Mcfarland to witness their
afhdavits. Mr.. Mcfarland hates &
Stacker, and Two young men meriting
this title learned that fact the other
day and they also learned why he
despises men who are afraid to fight
for freedom.
Mr.. Mcfarland was pouring over
his accounts when The two young men
entered his office.
eve want to claim exemption" they
explained, and want you to take the
affidavits."
Mr.. Mcfarland knew both Of them
and knew that neither of them was
emitted to exemption.
"You ought to be xemp,ed," he
told them, "bec9uge you are towards;
dirty yellow towards, both Of you;
and you wouldn't be worth a whoop

would be unfortunate enough to be
