FIRE WEDNESDAY MORNING

The residence occupied by Mr.. T.
J. Jourdan on South Madison street
was burned about nine-thirty We'd
nesday morning. The fire originated
in the ffue and Immediately the alarm
was turned in to the fire department,
which responded promptly. Mr..
Jourdan was at home at the time,
and with the assistance of young men
who rushed to the scene did every
thing possible to save the building.
When the fire department arrived the
plugs were covered with snow and
had to be thawed out before stream
could be brought to play on the
flames. They had gained such head
way, however, before this was done it
was too late to save the house. The
residence belonged to Mrs. Albert
Dalton and was covered by insurance.
With the assistance of those who
gathered a greater part of the house
hold effects were saved. Miss Roxy
Jourdan, however, lost nearly all of
her wearing apparel.
This is the second fire that has VIC
timized Mr.. Jourdan and his family.
A few years aro he had a splendid
home burned on Willis Heights.

A WOMAN BooTLEGCER.

At four o'clock Tuesday morning
Night Policeman Reese arrested Jessie
Joseph, alias Jessie Lewis, at the un-
ion station and captured a goodly
quantity of booze which was found
in the woman's valise, in her travel
ing basket and on her person. She
claimed to be en- route from Cairo to
her home in Birmingham, Ala. In
her grip were six full quarts of |.
w. Harper, very familiar and pop
ular brand in this section, in her bas-
ket were number of pints and half
pints. She was placed in Jail and at
nine o'clock that morning she was car
ried before Mayor Robins on the
charge of violating our anti-liquor
statutes. The city was represented
by C. P. Long, while the defendant
was represented by ]. w. P. Boggan.
A jury was called for and after hear
ing the evidence a verdict of guilty
was returned. The mayor imposed
a fine of $100 and costs and 80 days
in Jail in two cases which were pre-
ferred against her. The woman was
returned to Jail and Mr.. Reese met
the Frisco detective, who happened
to be in the city, who knew of the
woman's reputation in Birmingham.
He went to the pail with the police
man and recognized the woman as
Jessie Joseph, of Birmingham, who
he stated was frequently in the
courts there. Suspecting that she
carried some bottles concealed about
her person Mr.. Reese searched her
and found ten more pints. She had
belted around her waist an
apron made similar to that worn by
carpenters in which the bottles
snugly fitted. She will do service on
the streets as she was unable to per-
feet an, appeal.

SELECTIVE DRAFT
FOR LEE COUNTY
Local and District Boards at Work
Placing Registrants in Proper
Classes.

The Local Exemption Boards have
been constantly at work since the Sec
ond draft call was made, and are still
busily engaged on the work of classi-
flying those registered for Lee county
In the first class have been placed
$40, in the second class 120, in the
third class Sc, in the fourth class 607
and the fifth class 81.
So far no instruction has been Civ
en- the board as to the exact time
when examination of registrants shall
begin, but the original order stated
that it would be about the 18th of
February when the call would be
made for examinations.
The board is unable to furnish an
exact list of those who are already in
the service. The county was due to
send in the first call 240. There have
been a number of volunteers from
the county who would be deducted
from the full quota. Just how many
are now in the service the board is un-
able to state.
In classifying the registrants the
board has endeavored to follow as
closely as possible the regulations is
sued by the war department. The
above classifcations is the result of
this labor Of the local board. The
first class will be exhausted before the
next class is called and so on until
the entire registration has been called
to service, unless congress changes
the age limit or the classifcations of
the men.

States, trained men and women, who
are especially competent for the task.
The work will not be very lengthy
or exhausting, but it is absolutely in
dispensable to the proper manning of
our Army, and it must be done ac-
curatelyz Errors, if any were made,
would to- that extent obstruct and
confuse The work of the Army. We
have fight to expect the careful
achievement of this task of carding.
Nothing could more directly contri-
butte to the rapid progress of our mil
itary operations. Anyone who helps
effectively in doing this is contribut-
ing just as directly as if he or she
put gun into the hands of a soldier.
In every community where there is a
local board, it is requested and urged
that the teachers of all school offer
their services to the boards so dis
patch this task promptly. The sooner
it is dispatched the more quickly the
Army will be fighting effectively on
the firing line.
This statement is positively and lit
orally correct. It ought to nerve all
patriotic men and women to contri-
butte to the task.
Full instructions for the filing Of
the cards will be found at the Office of
the local boards.
All over the United States are men
and women, not in uniform, nor in
any branch of the military establish
ment, who are longing to do their bit
to help in advancing to successful
issue the great cause of liberty and
democracy for which we entered the
war. They can never have more
direct opportunity to help.
The Selective Service System has
thus far produced results consonant
with it's object. And this is largely
because the enormous labors necessa-
ry for this achievement were distri-
buted over the entire country and
were co-operated in by thousands of
patriotic citizens. The same is true
for this new branch of the task. This
office has full faith in the prompt and
active response of thousands of patri-
otto men and women who will regard
this as their prime contribution at
this moment to our success in the war.
All citizens to whose attention this
notice comes are requested to act ac-
cordingly.

Provost Marshal General.

CALL UPON THE
SCHOOL TEACHERS
President Wilson and Provost Mar
shall Crowder Issue Letters to
Teachers of Country.

President Wilson has addressed the
letter published below, in which ne
calls on all the school teachers OF the
country to present themselves before
the local board when called for the
purpose of making up an index card
system by which each man o fthe ten
million drafted can be kept track OF.
The president calls on the teachers
because he recognizes in them as
body a band of patriots who are will
ing to do their part and also a class
whose education fits them for the
work at hand. Below we give the
presidents letter:
The success of the Selective Service
System has been largely due to the
reliance that has been placed on the
cooperation of all citizens in its ex-
ecution. In the registration, the
election officers of the several States
were called upon to perform specific
task and they performed it unani-
mously and efficiently. Latterly, l
have had occasion to call the lawyers
and the physicians of the country to
specific duties and they have respond
ed in a solid rank The time has now
come when the teachers of the coun-
try can perform very necessary task
and l have no doubt that they will
respond in the same manner.
The process of classification of all
men within the field of selection is
proceeding rapidly. 1t becomes nec-
essary to carry forward with this pro-
cess, the making of very complete
index which shall accurately locate
any specially qualified man among the
ten millions on our enrolment lists.
The local boards are so over-burdened
with the work of classification that
this task cannot be put upon them,
and yet the necessities of the Nation
require that it be performed with the
greatest possible dispatch and accu-
racy. This duty can be performed
best by the teachers of the various.
communities. Under authority con-
ferred upon me by the Selective Ser
vice Law l therefore call upon all
teachers to present themselves to the
Local Boards having jurisdiction ov-
err the areas in which they reside, Tor
the purpose of examining the Cues
tionaire and filling out the index
cards in accordance with more specl-
fc instructions to be issued by the
Provost Marshal General.

To Teachers in all Schools of the
United States:
Not long ago you were all asked to
lend your services to the raising OF
the National Army. A direct oppor-
tunity for the most valuable service
has now arrived, and The need is ur-
gent.
It is of paramount Importance to
the selective features of the Draft
and to the effective employment Of
the man power of the Army that ev-
ery man be so placed in it as to give
the most advantage to his qualifica-
tions.
The problem is, therefore, to find
the men who can do the various things
necessary in the modern Army.
For this purpose, a central classi-
fed occupational file will be organ
lied in the Provost Marshal Generals
office, at Washington, so that when
calls are made upon this office, by
the S6V0TdI DTduC1lCo VI eHO 1hiHAy, AoA
men of special occupations or skill,
we can notify the various District
Boards just how many and what per-
sons of those qualifications are to be
found in their Jurisdiction; and the
boards can then proceed to the selec-
ton under the law. Without such a
central classified file, repeated exam
nations by the boards of the thous-
ands of questionaires in each jurls-
diction would be necessary, and such
a task is obviously impracticable.
For the preparation Of the central
classified file, card must be made for
each person filing a questionaire, as
soon as the board has classified him.
The making of this card consists
merely in transcription of certain da-
ia from the questionaires onto card
already prepared in blank form.
At this moment 100000 of such
cards are being sent to the respective
local boards. AS the boards are not
likely to be able to prepare these
cards without increasing their forces,
it is confidently hoped and expected
that the necessary force will be sup
piled by the teachers Of the United

Important Instructions to Local
Boards and to Teachers, Princi-
pals, and Superintendents of
Schools.
Under the directions and regula-
tions of the President, the Office of
the Provost Marshal General does not
correspond directly with individuals
or with institutions within a state.
All correspondence in relation to the
Selective Service Law is required to
be directed to the Local Board from
whose jurisdiction the inquiry arises
or to the Adjutant General Of the
state within which it arises. Due to
the great emergency that requires
the completion of the index of classi-
fication without the loss of a single
day this Office is sending, by social
authority, the inclosed instructions
direct to teachers and to Local
Boards, and is authorizing and direct
ing Local Boards to send the index
cards, when made out, direct to this
office.
This authority and this precedent
will not be extended. Local Boards
will, under no circumstances, address
this office, nor should teachers ad-
dress this Office with inquiries that
may arise from these instructions. If
there is any doubt about any point, a
letter will be addressed to the Ad-
jutant General Of the state. In the
Adjutant Generals Office these in
auiries will be consolidated and col
lated and forwarded by telegram to
the Office Of the Provost Marshal
General. In this way much prompter
action and much less correspondence
will result. These instructions must
not be departed from, and any cor
respondence addressed direct to the
Provost Marshal General will, under
the Presidents regulations, have to
be returned unopened and unanswer-

GARRETT co. CREAMERY
Purchased By The Imperial Ice
Cream COmpany-Mr. A. W.
Edmunds In Charge

The Imperial Ice Cream Company of
Clarksburg, announces that has taken
over the plant of the Garrett County
Creamery and placed Mr.. A. W. Ed
munds in charge. This will be welcome
news to the good people of Oakland and
to the farming and dairying folks of
Garrett county.
AS is well known, the Imperial Ice
Cream Company is one of the largest
concerns in their particular business.
with head offices at Clarksburg, and
plants at Parkersburg, Clarksburg and
Fairmont, W. Va, and Cumberland,
Md. and creameries at Coolvile and
Waterford, Ohio, besides the one just
acquired in this town. The Garrett
County Creamery will be operated as a
separate unit, and be independent in all
its transactions. but all payments are
guaranteed by the parent company.
Mr.. Edmunds comes to Oakland from
| Cambridge, Mimi, where he was in
charge of the Cambridge Creamery.
He is an experienced buttermaker and
knows the creamery business in all its
details, and comes highly recommended
as young man of character and in
tegrity. That he is also a good bust
ness man is shown by the fact that
when he took hold of the creamery at
Cambridge it was doing a business of
only SO, 900 year. which by wise man.
agement and conscientious care Mr..
Edmunds built up in four years to a
business of over Sl50,000 year.
Mr. Edmunds says he likes Oakland
and its people very much. and is going
to settle here permanently with his
family, which consists of Mrs. Edmunds
and two bright children.
Mr.. Edmunds thinks this town is an
ideal site for a creamery and sees no
reason why the plant In his charge
should not develop in the course of a
few years into one of the most impor-
tant enterprises of Garrett county. He
purposes making extensive improve
ments in the plant, looking to greater
efficiency and the more expeditions

On behalf of the residents of Oakland
and of Garrett county generally, THE
REPUBLICAN takes pleasure in welcom-
ing Mr.. Edmunds and his family to this
community and bespeaks for them a
prosperous and happy home among US.
