Sheriff John c. Scott, in speaking
recently of the effect Of the ruling
mere said that many men would prob
ably be forced into other occupations
Since the order was first promuigat-
ed by the provost marshal general
the sheriff's office has been besieged
by men anxious TO know their status
To all of these Scott said that IL
they are in occupations that the gov
eminent specifies are not essential in
winning the war, they viii be placed
at work where they are useful. The
farms win get a great number of the
men.
Some Change at Once.
Tonight will De the last OF work for
a number of men in the city in their
present occupations. That is IL the
order is voluntarily obeyed. Where
orders from the sheriff are issued the
men will continue in their Present
work and later be assigned to do some

The order is one of the most drastic

known since the outbreak Of the war

The order means, briefly, that after
Monday any registrant engaged in non
productive work and who has deferred
classification will be placed in class
one by his local board, subject to in
duction into the service as soon as the
call comes.

That there will be a great rush OF
men to get into something that is pro-
ductive of war-winning is self evident
Idlers will be hard hit The pool

Here is the way the government de-
fines the non-productive clause: Per

drink in public places, including hotels
and social clubs. This takes in walters
and clerks at soda fountains and lunch
counters. 1t will probably not include
the manager of the place.

Helping War Aims.
''The affairs of the corporation
are in very satisfactory condition,
and while not engaged specially
in a war industry, it is contrib
uting largely to the winning OF
the war, as its products, starch
and corn syrup, are in heavy de-
mand as substitutes for wheat
and sugar, the conservation of
which is close to the heart of
the United States administra-
ton.
Although an increase in wages
was granted to the employees
last March, still, taking into con-
sideration the advancing costs Of
living, the corporation, in pursu-
ance of it's policy of giving the
men the benefit of their share of
the temporary prosperity as the
result of conditions brought about
by the war, authorized further

Every person connected with the adj

law and all citizens are charged with
the duty of reporting cases that come
to their attention, TO the local board.
When the board is informed of
case Of this kind it is required to is
sue a notice to the regisrant to ap-
pear ON a certain day to show cause
why he is idle or in a non-productive
occupation. If the registrant fails Of
a reason he will be placed in class one
and liable to immediate military serv-
ice, TO the review of the district board
however.
To Increase Class One
It is expected that in Lee county as
elsewhere that the number OF class
one men will be materially increased.

were camped out by the park last sum-

try since 1 left home On our trip
from Des Moines to New York, there
were lots Of pretty sights.
France is very pretty place at this
time of year. Last winter it was rath-

pulled through it all right
l received q letter from dad and sis
not long ago. They are in New Mexi-

M. 1 have heard that Grace Bell,
formerly Of ST. Joseph hospital, is near
us at the present, also Drs. Gray and
Fuller are at the same hospital. We
have done three bitches in the front
line trenches and have been in sup
port and reserve for over three
months. We have been very fortunate
in regard to casualties. That is some
thing we are not allowed to write
much about. l suppose you people at
home know about as much II not more
about the war than we do.
We are having very nice weather at
the present, for awhile we had quite
bit of rain. We are very well fixed
for clothing, and have plenty to eat.
That army life will produce the

mists that America has ever seen, is
the prediction of Second Lieutenent

the work of the American flyers in
aerial fighting, which has taken place
not far from his squadron in France
He says he is probably not over thir-
ty-fiye miles from DR.. Henry A. Gray

ers in Unit R, but that he has not had
an opportunity to see the Keokuk
men as yet
Here is his letter:
l can't adequately express my ap-
probation of your good letter of April
!13. It seems you have hit upon a
whole lot of news about which l had
received hazy hints with every little
definite informa ton, and it is liter
ally true that / read and reread it
several times, to be sure I had over
looked no item of interest.
1t is a bit peculiar perhaps that
matters of purely local interest which
concern the folks back home have a
preference over all the national and
international news that can be
crowded into any metropolitan daily
with us boys over here. AS l have
said before, everything else that does
not just have to be done Immediately
is sidetracked when a budget Of mail
comes in The officers are just about
as pleased as the enlisted men too.
While I'm quite sure there is
mighty little home sickness among
our soldiers, cheering home news
puts new pep into any outfit. l firmly
