undoubtedly worried. hope Big Fork
isn't in mourning. Dad says that all
the four Bartlett boys were on their
way over here when he wrote. They
probably are in France now. They'll
be needed! Now don't be alarmed
when you hear that Walter has been
wounded. A friend of ours, in my
battalion, saw him in a hospital and
he was almost well then. 1t was
not so serious. The French people
were never in more optimistic
mood. They say finish le- guerre
right away. They are wild over the
work of the Yanks.
1t was certainly an inspiring sight,
the morning of certain "Oyer the
Top" movement. On bright, clear,
early morning, while our guns and
many of the French made contin-
nous rolling roar, one could see little
columns of men, certain distances
apart, wave after wave, moving slow
ly but irrisistably on. Later the
little columns were decimated but
still they moved unwaveringly on. !

Washington, ID. c., September IA
Under the rules of the war depart
ment for executing the new draft
law, special provision is made for
Informing the district boards in re-
gard to farm labor requirements in
order that necessary food production
may be maintained, says a statement
issued by the department of agricul-
ture. The statement continues:
In the new draft the district boards
are charged with the duty of putting
into deferred classes those persons
who are more likely to further the
war by remaining in civilian cccu-
pations than by entering the army.
Accordingly, three advisers are to be
selected for each district board-one
for agriculture, one for labor, and
one for other occupations. The agri-
culture adviser will be appointed by
The board upon the recommendation
of the secretary of agriculture. The
advisers are not members of the
board but may, when invited, attend
it's meetings.
How Agricultural Adviser VIII Aid
The duties of the agricultural ad-
wiser will be to furnish to the board
facts relative to farm labor require
ments, not only of his own district,
but of the whole country. He should
be the repository of all facts having
relation to the deferment of agricul-
tural workers, whether these be
necessary farm laborers, managers or
operators He will be expected to ad-
| wise the district boards as to a short
age or surplus of necessary farm work
ers for any given district, as well as for
| the entire nation. Such information
will be supplied to the advisers by
the department of agriculture. This
will make it possible to have neces-
sary workers transferred from dis
tricts in which they may not be
| necessary to other districts in which
they are sorely needed.
The adviser may also concern him
self with individual cases that come
before the district board He will
have the right, under certain con-
1itions to examine the questionnaires
and other records in the files of the
ocal board for the purpose of as

may file for them claim for de-

trant has been made.
Claims in Behalf OF Necessary EN-.
pioyees .-
A further duty with which the ad-
wiser is charged is to confer with
employers of necessary farm work.
ers, and to instruct them as 10 their
right under the regulations to flo
claim fer deferred classification in
respect OF any registrant 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 important
matter. The apparent Injustice of
placing many registrants in class
is often due to the fact that en-
ployers have failed to make claims
for deferred classification On behalf
of necessary workers. II is to avoid
repetition of this trouble that
farmers should see that all of their
necessary employees, whether sons
or other ,laborers, of the draft age
have made for them just claims for
deferred classification.
One important explanation is made
in the new selective service regulation
in connection with the expression
skilled farm laborer" The question
naire provides deferred classification
for the necessary skilled farm
laborer in necessary agriculture en-.
terprise." The new regulations pro-
vide that in class two shall be placed
any registrant found to be engaged
IN Nr
prise, and found to be necessary to
such enterprise in the capacity of
farm laborer-"e especially fitted
for the work in which he is engaged"
This quoted phrase constitutes an
explanation of what is meant by
skilled" as applied to farm laborer.
The expression will make easier the
, determination of the status of many
registrants.
War Service in the Right Place
The purpose in the appointing of adj
visers is to place men where they can
do most to help win the war These adj
visers will be able to help greatly the
district boards to keep in agriculture
the necessary workers. These workers.
whatever may be their inclination to
enter military service, should stand
ready to serve in any capacity in
which they can contribute most to.
ward a speedy ending of the war.
In order that this ray be dome a
| frank statement should, in each case.
be made to the boards. 1t is believed
/ that it will frequently require as
much courage on the part of many
men to remain in their civilian oc-
equations as to waive deferment.
This effort to keep men in indus.

badly to bring the enemy to- his

IN every possible way by every legi-
