in necessary agricultural enterprises. -
The new regulations provide that in
Glass II shall be placed any regstrant
found to be engaged in necessary
agricultural enterprise, and found to be
necessary to such enterprise in the ca
pacity of farm laborer-" especially
fitted for the work in which he is en-
gagged" This quoted phrase consti-
tutes an explanation of what is meant
by "skilled" as applied to farm labor.
The expression will make easier the de-
termination of the status of many reg
istrants.
The purpose in the appointing of ad-
visers is to place men where they can
do most to help win the war. These
advisers will be able to help greatly the
district boards to keep in agriculture
the necessary workers. These workers,
whatever may be their inclination to en-
ter military service, should stand ready
to serve in any capacity in which they
can contribute most toward speedy
ending of the war. In order that this
may be done, frank statement should,
in each case, be made to the boards. It
is believed that it will frequently re-
quirc as much courage on the part OF
many men to remain in their civilian
occupations as to waive deferment.
This effort to keep men in industry,
rather than to send them to the camps
and the trenches, should not be abused
so as to permit the Stacker to escape
military duty The necessities for rails
ing an army are paramount. Every man
that can be spared will be needed and
needed badly to bring the enemy to his
senses. The adviser should be assisted
in every possible way by every legiti-
mate agricultural interest to find the
men that can be spared for military
duty, but also to keep those that are
essential to the maintenance of a
proper food supply.

PUBLIC PLACES NOT
CLOSED HERE

At a meeting of the city council
Monday evening considerable discus
sion was had as to the advisability of
closing the schools, picture shows,
churches and all public gatherings in
anticipation of the Spanish in influenza
which is making such serious inroads in
the other towns all over the state.
DIR. Koran stated that he had sought
the advice of the state health board in
Denver which was to the effect that no
good would result from closing so long
as there was no apparent danger. All
agreed that if any good was to be ac-
complished, closing order would be
issued on short notice, but with no
signs of the malady in the town it was
considered useless to make clos ng
order at present.
However, local physicians were ask ed
to visit the schools and explain to
teachers and children the nature of TIL
disease and the means of prevention
and to ask that the rules laid down by
the board of health be carefully oh.
served. With that understanding the
matter was allowed to rest, and up to
this time no signs of the complaint have
developed.

CLOTHES FOR THE BELaIANs

Rev. William Pepper is live wire
when it comes to helping in any public
movement that is needed by the com.
munity or that is required for the re-
lief of suffering anywhere.
Last year he was asked by the Bel
gian relief committee to take charge Of
the campaign for old clothes from this
city for the destitute Belgians. He So
licited donations of used clothes and
packed and sent to the committee in
New York more than 1900 pounds Of
clothing. This year the quota for Glen
wood was eight pounds more than last
year, but our people were liberal and
Mr.. Pepper was this year able to send
the committee 1864 pieces, weighing
1857 pounds. These garments were
packed in 10 boxes and then the Boy
Pioneers, directed by Mr.. Pepper, hauled
the boxes to the depot In their little
wagons and loaded them into freight
car and started them on their way to
the Belgians to carry comfort to those
who are suffering from the tortures Of
kaiserdom.

LEO oBERTo sucouMBs
TO NEW MALADY

Leo Oberto o. this city, but for some
time stationed at Everett, Washington,
where he was eD ployed in the govern
ment ship building plant, died Tues
day night at that place from an attack
of Spanish influe.za.
News of the yc ng mans condition
was eagerly awaiic by his friends all
day Tuesday and hen in the evening
a telegram showing apparently i'm
proved conditions, was received, all
breathed easier, believing the crisis had
passed, but friend. were saddened Il
few hours later by telephone message
from Leon Schwartzman announcing the
death of his friend. The news came
just as Mrs. Clavel, the young man IS
mother, was preparing to leave here
for the bedside of her son.
The body is now on the way to Glen
wood, accompanied by Leon Schwartz
man, long time friend of the deceased
young man.
Leo Oberto was born and reared in
Glenwood and his many friends here
are saddened at the news Of his untime-
ly demise. On account of the uncer-
tainty as to when the remains will ar
rive in Glenwood and the probability
that a brother, Ed Oberto, might be
able to procure furlough from Camp
Travis and attend the funeral, no time
has been Sc for the service.

LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN

The Liberty Loan drive has not
moved along quite as lively in Gar.
field county as was expected, due, at
Least in part, to the slowness with
which the farmers have been able to
market their crops, especially tho
wheat crop which was very good in
Garfield county this year.
Glenwood s quota is $l42,5OO, and of
this there has been subscribed at the
time we go to press about $61, 900 with
prospects of big addition today. The
county quota is $269,5OO, and of this
about 100000 has been subscribed to
date, according to the best estimate
Senator Napier can make.
Several of the solicitors have as yet
E. -, - -la--t7 G1l the best that can
be done is to estimate tn total sub.
scripion.
The committee in charge of the state
drive has requested that banks remain
open all day today, Columbus Day, not.
withstanding it is holiday, and thus
give the people every possible oppor'
tunity to come in with their subscrip.
tions before night. In accordance with
this request both Glenwood banks will
close for one hour at noon and will
then remain open until six O'Clock this
evening to receive Liberty Loan sub.
scriptions. We must make up the full
amount the government calls for. It l.
needed and we must see to it that 1t il

new DRAFT RULES
AS TO DEFERMENT
Continued from page y

relative to farm labor requirements, not
only of his own district, but of the
whole country. He should be the re-
pository Of all facts having relation to
the determent of agricultural workers,
whether these be necessary farm labor
ers, managers, or surplus of necessary
well as for the entire nation. Such in
formation will be supplied to the ad-
visers by the department of agriculture.
This will make it possible to have nee
essary workers transferred from dis
tricts in which they may not be neces-
sary to other districts in which they
are sorely needed.
The adviser may also concern himself
with individual cases that come before
the district board. He will have the
right, under certain conditions, to ex
anime the questionnaires and other rec
ords in the files of the local board
for the purpose of ascertaining whether
persons entitled to deferred clasifica-
he finds the names of such registrants
he may file for them claim for de-
ferred classification with the district
board, which, in turn, may require the
local board to certify the questionnaire
and record of any such registrants for
consideration. Reasonable time will be
given for the purpose of obtaining in
formation and supplying the affidavi:s
required. If local board determines
to consider case for deferred classifi.
cation because registrant is engaged
in necessary occupation, notwith-
standing no claim for deferred classifi-
cation on that ground has been made,
it shall indorse the recommendation on
the questionnaire of the registrant and
forward it to the district board having
jurisdiction. The district board will
thereupOn consider the case and pro-
coed to classify the registrant mot
withstanding the fact that no claim for
deferred classification by or in respect
of the registrant has been made.
further duty with which the ad-
wiser is charged is to consider with en-
ployers of necessary farm workers, and
to instruct them as to their right under
the regulations to file claim for de-
ferred classification in respect of any
regstrant who has failed or refused to
file claim for deferred Classification
in his own behalf. This, in the opinion
of the war department, is very inn
rortant matter. The apparent injus,
tice of placing many regIstrants in
Glass is often due to the fact that
employers have failed to make claims
for deferred classification on behalf Of
necessary workers. 1t is to avoid a
repetition of this trouble that farmers
should see that all Of their necessary
employees, whether sons or other labor
ers, of the draft age have made for
them just claims for deferred classifi-
cation.
One important explanation Is made
in the new selective service regulations
/ "skilled farm laborer." The question
naire provides deferred classification
for the necessary skilled farm laborel

These are days that call for extreme
care along health lines and our people
are urged to give close heed to the sug-
gestions of the board of health laid
down elsewhere in this issue. The
Spanish flu, or rather the germ that
creates the mischief, is short lived, but
is lively kid while it lasts and it be-
hooves us all to make every effort posi-
BILE to combat it at the proper time
and in the proper way.
