Entitled to Exemption.
Last January. when the time ar
rived Tor filling out his QUESTIONABLE
for the draft, young Schultz was thirty
years of age. He had wife and four
small children, aged five, three and a
half, eighteen months and six months,
dependent upon him. Very naturally
the draft board gave him a deferred
classification and he continued to work
on his farm and in the factory at

devotion to duty SO loudly called upon
him to do, namely, fight for his ccun-
try.
After she had made this most i'm
portant and momentous decision,
Schultz applied to the local draft board
at Saltwater to be indicted into serv-
ice. He was told that his wife would
have to sign waiver of exemption
before his desires could be realized
He asked the board for the exemption
paper, as he stated that he knew his
wife would let him go. Mrs. Schultz
not only signed the waiver when it
was presented but voluntarily and
willingly, as If inspired by desire to
emphasize her part in the action
her husband was taking, wrote the
following words under her name: 81
am proud that my husband is willing
to fight for his country"
A Photographic reproduction is here
with shown of her signature with the
above words.
Schultz was given his physical exam

spects. On April 10 he was accepted
and sent to Fort Preble, Maine, for
training, becoming Private Schultz, a
gunner, in Battery e." 72nd Artillery.

North St. Paul when farm work did
not require him at home.
Before the United States entered the
war the sympathies of Schultz and his
wife were warmly upon the side of
their kinsmen of Germany and they
unhesitatingly proclaimed their feel
ings in favor of the Fatherland. Upon
the occasion of the declaration of war
by America against the imperial Ger
man government a change came over
Schultz and his wife, and they imme-
diately declared themselves for their
adopted country Although the strug-
gle for existence had been hard one,
they still felt that they were enjoying
the priceless heritage of liberty and
freedom in the greatest democracy OF
the world. AS time went on, young
Schultz and his wife talked, great
deal about the war and of the duty
that every American owed to his coun-
try. They felt that if the freedom
and liberty that they were enjoying
was to endure it was the duty of every
citizen to do something for his coun-
try. Finally in March, 1918, Schultz
decided that he could no longer re-
sist the call of his country. Patriotism
and loyalty demanded that he do his
share for. the land of his birth. In
this his wife fully agreed with him.
The great problem was how his wife
and little children could possibly get
along and how the little farm could
be managed without the aid of the
husband and father.
The question was considered from
every angle by Schultz and his wife.
He was anxious to give his services
to the country that had welcomed his
parents and given them opportunities
to be found in no other land, the coun-
try which was his own above any
other on earth. He was willing, IL
necessary, to make the supreme saeri-
fee. But others to whom he owed a
| high duty were to be considered. The
wife whom he had vowed to cherish
and protect, and four little ones, were
dependent on his efforts. He had am
| billions to make good home for them
| and give them the advantages to be
obtained only in this free land. Mrs.
| Schultz, too, was revolving the ques-
| ton in her mind. Anxious to have
her husband "do his bit" and proud
of his desire to do so, she gave grave

knew that there was soon to be an
other mouth to feed, and realized her
expectation on September 10, when
another boy was born. When asked a
few days after its birth whether 1t
was soldier, too, she stated with
emphasis that he was born to be q
soldier. The expression on her face
as she makes this statement is all
that is necessary to show how proud
she is that her husband Is willing to
fight for his country. In the accom-
panying sketch group of pictures ts
shown of the little family, a picture
of the house in very incomplete con-
dition, which was being built at odd
moments. The wedding picture of the
couple, taken on their wedding day
six years ago, is also shown.
The example Of Clara Schultz and
her husband is one of the highest
ideals of Americanism and loyal pa
triotism. Both are soldiers for the
cause of freedom, liberty and justice.
They are fighting the battles of the
world and willing to sacrifice to the
utmost that our cause and our coun,
try may live.
AS long as America continues to
produce men and women like Private
Schultz and Clara Schultz our country
is safe and will continue to live as the
greatest nation upon earth, beacon
and an inspiration to all men and to
all nations of the earth.

Story Is Interesting.
This story is particularly interesting
because of the fact that both Herman
Schultz and his wife, Clara Schultz,
are COMMUNICATIONS.
Schultz came from German parent
age, his father being b,rn in Prussia
Germany. He came to America many
years ago, settling near Eau Claire,
Wis, where Gustav was born. In the
course of time young Schultz came
to live in Washington County, where
he later met Clara Boelter, young
lady also of German parentage and
daughter of William Boelter, one of
the oldest settlers of the county.
They we're married in 1912 and are
fheepropd parents of four children.
AbeH three years ago they began life
on forty.acre farm on the westerly
line of Washington County and about
one and half miles from North St.
Paul. They managed to scrape to-
gether enough money to make small
payment on their farm, and young
Schultz and his wife worked hard to
rear their family, which increased rap

in the events that are now transpirins
there.
In the meantime Mrs. Schultz is
cheerfully working, mothering her lit
tie brood, and keeping up the home,
her thoughts divided between her little
ones and the heipmate who is across
seas fighting that liberty and freedom
may endure. In the din of battle the
thoughts of the soldier must often re-
vert to the noble wife and the pre-
cious babes at home.

Chickens Are Best.

Chickens, in any general scheme
of poultry production, of course,
must take first place. They are
best adapted to general conditions,
take a wider range of feeds and
convert them, perhaps, with the
greatest margin of profit. Chickens
better than any other class of poul-
try. utilize table scraps and the
general run of waste from the
kitchen door, all the way from ap.
pie and potato parinss to sour milk.
Chickens far surpass all other kinds
OF poultry in salvagine waste grain
from the stables, from the shed or
lot where the cattle are fed, and
from hog pens. During the winter
months, on farms where any CON
siderable number of live stock are
kept, the hens would take their Iiv-
lug from these sources with only
slight additional feeding from time
to time. Chickens are great de-
strOyers of insects, including many
luxurious forms, in yard. pasture,
and orchard. They utilize, also,
many grasses aid weeds, an seeds

wise be of no use. Except in iso-
lated instances, the part of wisdom
would be undoubtedly, to keep more
chickens than all other kinds of
poultry combined. but there should
be, in a majority of cases, some of
all the other commoa kinds of
poultry
