WAR CONDITIONS AND PROS
PECTS ARE BRIGHT.

War times and war conditions it is
true-out of the ordinary and unusu-
al difficulties everywhere-and yet,
the Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical school here enrolled
more students for the first four days
this week than for the same period
last year, and last year at the end
of May 191 had enrolled At the end
of next week the prospects are that
more will enroll than did the second
week of last year.
Many students under rule fixed by
the War Department, who have fin
ished High School, have been able to
enter the colleges of the state where
military training units save been an
thorized and established. While
thousands have been turned away
during the past week from these
schools for lack of room, students
iros the A, and NJ. school who have
finished only the junior year have
been admitted students over eighteen
years of age AS high as three units
have been given on account of mill

Under date of August the %, the War
Department suggested the establish

schools. The district school here
comes under this head for considera-

easily fitted up as barracks to ac-
commodate about 400 students. Supt.

NECESSARY THAT REGISTRANTS
RETURN MISSIONARIES
PROMPTLY IN ORDER TO Sc.
CURE PROPER CLASSIFICATION.
DELAY MAY MEAN CLASS ONE
FOR WRONG MEN.

The number of new registrants
runs into the thousands, and about
ten per cent of the questionnaires are
being mailed out each day. The law
yers have volunteered their service
; TO aid registrants in this work as
they did before, butt must be re-
membered that it is absolutely i'm
possible for all the lawyers to write
out all Of the answers to the -ques-
tions for each registrant.
1t has been discovered that some
registrants before were put in class
one who did not belong there This
must have been caused by the very
great rush and the lack of time for
the lawyers to get all the informa-
ton properly written in the question
naire. The same thing will occur
again in some cases unless regis
trants themselves do their part of
the work in filling out the question
naires
The remedy: Each registrant, as
soon as he receives his question
naire, who can read and write, will
get his pen and ink and go through
his entire questionable and write
the answer to every question he pos
sibly can. When he has done this,
he will then take it to lawyer who
will gladly go over it with him and
aid him in getting it in proper shape.
This is important and must be done
if this work is to be completed in
the time given for it.
Next: If the registrant is married
and claims deferred classification be
cause of dependents. when he goes
to the lawyer, take his wife and all
of his children who can write their
names all of whom are required TO
sign the affidavit
Next: If the registrant is engaged
in an industrial enterprise beneficial
to the government or in an agricul-
tural enterprise for which he is ask
ing deferred class, he will take two
other persons besides himself to the
lawyer to sign the supporting afi-
davits, which is necessary to have his
claim for deferred class considered
at all
The lawyers have volunteered their
service to aid the registrant in this
work and not to do all the work him
self. If the registrant does not thus
assist, many are liable to suffer and
IS will have themselves only TO thank
for =.
Each registrant has seven days to
fill out and return his QUESTIONABLE.
1t is his duty to look after it, as soon
as he receives the questionnaire from
the Local Board If he is too busy
to attend to it until the sixth day, he
may find the lawyer too busy to stop
his own business for him on the sixth
day. Ii will be the policy Of the law
yers TO give preference to the reg
istrant who does all the work he can
on his own questionable and then
presents it for proper assistance i'm
mediately. The fellow who himself
delays. must concede the same priv
ilege 10 tie man who is to assist him.

 It has been stated many times that Sullivan paid his opponents on this trip to go out quickly-or rather that Sullivan's handlers paid them. nut this charge never has been proved, and is most unlikely, for Sullivan was fully capable of hammering the average man into unconsciousness in a yer7p short time.
