TO ENTRAIN JULY "a
Custer County Will Not be Able to Fill
July Quota Called for by the Ad
iutant General

While some changes may be necessi-
tated before the oath of July, the follow
ing men have been called for entrain-
ment on July oath at i a. m, Custer, S.
d. This is all the available men now in
the 1917 Class without another re-classi.
fcation. This may become necessary in
the near future to ill up deficiencies.
Five men were rejected from the June
quota and will have to be made up to
keep up our number. The Board is
considering the re-examination Of some
rejected at the camp later on, for while
it is obvious that some were rejected up
on grounds that will actually put them
out of the class IA men, others will
after a time be recovered and fit for
classification. This list is subject to
change by adding to.

CUSTER COUNTY TEL. co.
HOLDS ANNUAL MEET


The annual meeting Of stock holders
of the Custer County Telephone Com
pany was held in this city last Tuesday
for the purpose of electing a board of
directors for the ensuing year, and to
consider proposals Of the Nebraska Tele-
phone Co. for the purchase of the Gus
ter telephone exchange. The stock
holders elected as directors, Thomas Ii .
Richardson, Robert McAdam, Charles
Dumke, Il. J. Turner and p. Zemet.
T. Ii. Beeson, district commercial
manager OF the Nebraska Telephone
Co. at Deadwood, was present and ex-
planned their proposition to the stock
holders, and after thorough discussion
it was voted to place the matter in the
hands of the board Of directors who
with new directors tc Ae appointed from
the Willow Greek and Cheyenne River
lines would be empowered to act on the
matter of selling the Custer Exchange
to the Nebraska Telephone Co, as well
as making proper contracts for service,
if favorable action was taken in the
matter.
1t was explained by Mr.. Beeson that
in case the transfer of the city exchange
was made, all farm subscribers now
being served through the Custer ex-
change would be continued at the
monthly switching rate of twenty-five
cents per month. States Attorney Helm
was present and explained that the
state laws were such that twenty-five
cents per month was the maximum rate
that could be charged for this service,
and therefore no increase would be pos.
sible in the rate. All subscribers on the
Pleasant Valley, Cheyenne RIVER, Her
mosa, Pringle, and other lines now com
ing into Custer would have absolutely
free exchange with each other.
The Nebraska Telephone Company is
Just completing new copper metallic
toll line from Custer to Newcastle at a
cost of approximately $20,000.00, which
will be an outlet for telephone traffic
from Gillette, Upton, Moorcroft, Cam
bria and Newcastle, all of which will
pass through and be switched at Custer,
which, together with similar lines from
Deadwood and connections from north
eTn and southern Hills will make Gus
ter an important toll center, and is the
reason primarily for the necessity of the
Nebraska Telephone Co. having an
office here. The people on the farm
lines out of Custer, as well as the city
telephone users, would be greatly bene-
fitted by this move as the city exchange
would be rebuilt and cabled, and would
be given unlimited seryice-24 hours
per day every dag in the year-with no
extra charge therefore, as is the Ne
braska Telephone Co.'S. policy wherever
they operate.
1t was further explained by Mr.. Bee
son, that any negotiations with the local
people for the purchase of the Custer
Exchange was subject to the approval
of the Federal Government, as all such
matters must be submitted for approval
before any definite arrangements could
be made after making tentative arrange
ments with the Custer Mutual people.

NOTICE FROM THE LOCAL

great deal of difficulty has been
caused to the Local Board by those reg
istrants who leave the county and state
and do not notify the Board of their ad-
dress. This may work out to be dan
ger as well to them, for if reported as
delinquent, which is a necessary pro-
cedure by the clerk, If the man cannot
be located, the mark will probably fol-
low the soldier through the service, and
the charge of deserton may also be
placed against him. Then also the
County can only get credit for those who
go in the regular way and the delin.
quent must be replaced by another man.
Orders are becoming more stringent as
the delinquencies grow more frequent in
occurrence.

Contagious Diseases

rash should be isolated. A compari-
son of typical cases of the different
eruptions will, however, give some in
dication as to what may be looked
for.
In chicken pox one finds scattered
irregularly over the body small red
spots which in a few hours or at
times in less than an hour become
raised hemispheres, filled with a
straw-colored fluid, sometimes with so
little Inflammation that they resemble
drops of water. There may be only
q few of these "vesicles" or the skin
may be thickly dotted with them. In
day or two the "vesicles" begin to
dry up and heal with scab, or their
contents may first be changed to
thicker, yellowish matter. They tend
to come in crops so that some are dry
iIg UP as others are coming out The
rash in rubella consists of fine pink or
rose-red dots, somewhat larger than
the head Of pin, spread thickly over
the body surface. In scarlet fever the
eruption is similar to that of rubella,
but the dots are finer, a brighter red,
and are especially marged in the folds
Of the body, while sparing the region
Immediately around the lips. This, by
contrast, causes the mouth to look
pale. Usually the dots are close to-
gether that the appearance is given of
an intense blush In measles, on the
the other hand, spots are larger, come
out first on the face and remain mist
prominent there. This, together with
tie catarrh of the eye and nose,
causes the face to appear blotchy, the
common expression being to some ex-
tent justified that measles make
handsome child ugly, while scarlet
fever makes an ugly child handsome.
To summarize the conditions which
would call for isolation and special
attention: A sore throat should make
one think of scarlet fever or diph-
iberia; persistent discharge from the
nose, of diphtheria; catarrh or cough
with fever, of measles; vomiting with
fever, of scarlet fever; weakness or
lassitude in a child previously well, of
diphtehria; a cough which come in
spells, Of whooping cough; a croupy
cough of larygeal diptheria; "a rash
on the skin, of measles, scarlet fever,
rubella or chicken poX.
These are general directions. Even
by rigid adherence to them some I'M
usual or mild cases may be over-work-
ed, but every scheme of prevention
must be weighed as to feasibility and
these precautions can be depended up
on to materially diminish the proba>
bility of an epidemic.
