Brassards for SeIectmen.

Brassards for Selectmen.
 The War Department has authoriz- ed the local exemption board to pro cure and furnish each select man who leaves Clifton for training camp with an arm band, or brassard, bear ing the letters ''U. s. N. A." It is to be stitched immediately to the left sleeve of the selected men and to be worn two inches above the elbow. This is to constitute the uniform of the National Army at the time of en- training and direction into the militar servce until his arrival at the mobli- zation camp. Ths brassard is not to he removed from his clothing before his arrival at the mobilization camp. In addition to this the board shall fur nish and have stitched to the right sleeve of each leader, and assistant leader an arm band on which shall appear the letters "S. P.' when worn two inches above the elbow on the inches below the elbow on the as- sistants, shall constitute the uni form of the special military police.
 Give the Boys a Farewell.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder advises the exemption board to or ganize the class of registrants who are to be inducted into the service, and on the eve of their departure have some patriotic citizen address them upon the duties of which they are about to enter. This feature has been adhered to in other localities and it has been a subject of some comment why no one here has vol unteered to give the boys word Of advice and encouragement on the eve of the departure in the past. Clifton has numerous patriotic spirits oifted in oratory, who should not be backward about coming to the fore front and giving these select men a farewell, commensurate with their patriotic sacrifice. A quota will leave lthe latter part of the month. and any who are patrioically inclined, can un- bottle their cratory to the good of the service when these select men de, part.
 Marries. Placed in C,ass
 Claude A. Marsh of Duncan, is one of the Baby registrants who was placed in a deferred class by reason of the fact that there were depend. ants looking to him for support. Re gently the gay young man decided that he had not enough dependen.s i so he took unto himself wife. The local exemption board had different slant at the matter, it seems, for while they gave Claude deferred classification by reason of the fact that he convinced the board that he was the sole support of his widowed mother and younger brothers and sisters, yet when he took unto him. self additional dependent by his marrying himself a wife, and inas- much as the woman he induced to marry him is but girl of fifteen summers, and corresponding winters, the board thought it advisable to re- classify him and place him in Class II. Claude has been summoned fo.' physical examination, and should he pass will be inducted into the ser vice at the next call for select men
 
 trtio of couples who quietly left Duncan and went to Globe, where they were united in marriage. It is very probable that his young bride will be one of those beautiful souls who are known as war widows, as the board is firmly convinced that Claude will go to the front if his physical condition will warrant his drafting into the service.
 l Sheriff Slaughter has three Mexi 1 can boarders at the county jail, who 1 are non-comos mentes. They are held waiting the return of Judge Laine for trial, to esta blish the fact legally, that they are of unsound mind, and therefore fit subjects to be sent to the state insane asylum. Two are men and one young woman All Mexicans.
