SON OF DEARY MERCHANT I'M
PLORES LOCAL DRAFT BOARD =
TO CALL HIM

| An unusual letter has been received
by the local draft board from a mar
who was in class three and was placed
in class one, when the 1917 men were
reclassified, but was later put in class
three again. He "implores" the board

! Latah county. The letter follows:
"Deary, Idaho, August 81. !.
Homer Estes, clerk local draft board
Dear Sir.-This is to implore you to
send call for me for the next draft.
The predicament my wife and are in
is such that to go to camp at once will
be more convenient than waiting for
the next call. After taking my exam
ination we made preparations and, as a.
consequence have sold our furniture,
thus leaving us without home and no
place to go.
my wife wants to take up a stenog-
raphic course and the longer she is de-
layed the worse it will be- We ta1keda
it over last evening and decided that II
would write and ask you to call me
and / hope you will see fit to do so.
"We have nothing left to keep housed
with and I am sure, Mr.. Estes, that ifl
you were in the same boat you would
urge to be called also. I have read
where men have been inducted before
at their own request and thought it can
be done in this case.
"Please favor me in this and consider
that you have done good deed under /
the peculiar circumstances.
Thanking you in advance, I beg to
remain,
Sincerely yours,
"A. F. BORN"
The request of the young man has
been granted and he will be called for
next Monday, when he will entrain for
Camp Lewis He is son of one of
The leading merchants at Deary and has
