much further effect that was not ex-

chaser went to place his thrift stamps
on a thrift card, he found he had one
card full and four more stamps to
start another card. So the second
card must be filled before all the
thrift stamps could be changed into
war savings stamps. These sales, in

mosquitoes, the crowd proceeded to en-
Joy itself in a variety of ways, chosen
according to individual tastes. A
thrilling ball game engaged the at
tention of all the stars and an enthu-
siastic audience, which cheered wildly
at the plays made by Jim Wedum, the
stellar pitcher. Carl Alderman held
down first, second and third base, and
in his spare time played right field.
John Bjorstad was everywhere in evil

Men 1920 and 1886 Inclus-
i've Are to Be First in Call to
Colors-Provisions for Ex-
emption of Men in Industry.
CALLS BEGIN OCTOBER |

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10-Provost
Marshal General Crowder announced
today that the first call to the colors
of men who register Thursday. will
include men in the 19 and 20 year old
class, and in the classes from 80 to
SO inclusive. Questionnaires will go
first to registrants within these speci-
fed age limits and local boards will
be ordered to classify them first in
readiness for calls beginning in Octo-
ber.
Young men in the 19 and 90 year old
classes, Gen. Crowder said, will be ac-
cepted for induction into the student
army training corps, but he pointed
out that the authorized strength of
this corps is only 10000 men whereas
the total of registrants below 90 will
be over 100000.
Gen. Crowder made it plain in a
statement setting forth the principles
governing industrial classification that
the preference list announced by
Chairman Baruch of the war industries
board Monday, which Mr.. Ba ruch de-
scribed as the master key" in set
tling the question Of giving deferred
classification to men in industries,
will not be permitted to limit the
action of district boards in determin-
ing exemptions.
Industrial Board.
In the granting of deferred classi-
fication on occupational grounds each
district board will be advised by three
officials, one named by the depart
ment of labor, one by the department
Of agriculture. and the third by the
district draft board itself.
The members of the industrial ad-
visory board, Gen. Crowder explains
in new regulations issued today, shall
have access to the questionnaires and
other records in the files of local
boards. and shall confer with persons
engaged in various industries, occupa-
tions and employments for the pur-
pose of having the cases of certain in
dividual registrants. by whom or in
whose behalf no claim of deferred
classification has been made, present
ed to the district board for considera-
tion and determination whether or not
individuals engaged in some particular
industry, occupation or employment
are SO necessary thereto as to out
weigh the benefit to the nation should
they be drafted into the army.

"Any student who lays down on his
job of studying is as much a Stacker
as one who fails to buy Liberty Bonds
and Thrift Stamps" Principal j. H.
Bentley said Tuesday morning at
high school.
1T is just as vital to have boys and
soldiers at the 'front.'" he stated. THE
only reason the Germans are so eff
cient in the industrial world is because
they have linked the educational
world with the industry. The Amer
lean business men of several years
ago were self-trained men and they
had no college education. They would
not hire college man because they
said they were 'college-trained FOOLS"
He stated that the times are now
changed and when the government
went to look for trained men and
waited them quickly. it turned to the
colleges and the college men ware
ready.
Mr.. Bentley advised all the boys OF
draft age under the new law to stay
in schol for he said they probably
would not be called until the older
boys had been.
IF the government thinks enough
of education to pay men to stay in
college then it surely will not draft
boys from high school the first thing"
Enrolment Shows Increase.
Complete reports from the first
days enrolment of the schools, shows
an increase of Sc over last year, the
total number in the public schools
being 3,S05 this year.
Garfield had an increase Of ten,
while high school shows a slight loss.
One of the largest gains in attendance
was at Whitewater school. while the
other schools which gained were Fin
ley, Starr, Vaile, Baxter and Joseph
Moore.

school work is running smoothly, stat

FOuLKE HEADS
CENSUS PROTEST
(By Associated Praas)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1o.-Protest
against the provision in the house bill
for the 1920 census by which employees
would be named without civil service
examination we're presented to the
senate census committee today by
representatives of the national civil
service reform league:
Past experience show beyond
doubt" declared William Dudley
Foulke of Richmond, Ind. heading the
delegation, that the grossest abuses,
frauds, inaccuracies, corruption and
extravaganza have followed every ex-
emption of census employees from the
provisions of the civil service law.
While plausible reason can always be
found the real motive is always to be
found in the opportunity thus given
for patronage and spOils.
AT the present moment when poll
tics is adjourned and the country ex-
poets public consideration only to pre-
vail, the passage of the census bill
with patronage provisions would be
national disgrace"
