COMPLAINTS OF THE DRAFT LAW

Many complaints come to the De-
partment of Agriculture to the eff
feet that farmers and farm laborers
have not received proper considera-
ton under the War Departments
rules of deferred classification. The
law and the rules of the war depart
ment vest the powers of exemption
and deferred classification solely and
exclusively in the district boards and
there is no authority in any other
official to interfere with this jurisdic-
ton except in particular cases.
There is only the right of appeal to
the President under terms prescribed
by the War Department. Neither
the Department of Agriculture nor
any other Department, nor any offic-
ial has any power over the district
boards. They are composed of the
citizens of each state and they are
presumed to have the best informa-
ton and to be most mindful Of the
needs of their states and sections.
Citizens who feel that boards have
acted unwisely should address them
selves TO the boards or should cause
appeals TO be made from the boards.
to the President. The Department
of Agriculture is powerless to affect
decisions by the boards or to alter
the rules of the War Department or
to change the law of the congress.
On March ~. last, the Provost Mar
shall General of the War Department
issued an order directing the local
boards in furnishing their quotas for
the army, to defer until the last those
actively and assidiously engaged in
agriculture, even though they had
been placed in Glass L. At the time
that order was issued, the War De-
partment expected to call only 800,
600 or 100000 men before the har-
vest, but after the order was issued,
the German offensive of March 81
began, with its perils TO the allied
cause, and the War Department found
contemplated on the 18th of March.
Consequently, in many commune
ties the local boards have been COM
PEELED to call the men in Class /,
even though they were engaged in Ag-
riculture. 1t should be remembered
that men so called were placed by
their district boards in Glass | and
therefore were not deferred but were
always subject to call. 1t should be
understood also that the emergency
of the present war situation is such
that the nation can take no chance
of delay in the mobilization of the nee
essary man power TO reinforce the
allies of the western front. The
slightest delay might cause a fright
full disaster.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, May 4.-The culmina- tion of the Liberty loan drive was marked by dull and irregular dealings during the two hours of today's stock market. Trading lacked especial fea- lures. aside from moderate activity in few speculative issues. F Investment stocks fluctuated for the most part within fractional limits, U. s. Steel for example, varying only half a point and closing at slight loss.
 Rails were utterly neglected until toward the finish when moderate pressure caused nominal reactions. St. Paul preferred recorded an extreme loss of 2ss points.
 Aside from United States Steel a large part of the days operations cen ter in Marine preferred, Distillers Se- curities, Willys Overland, Sumatra to- bacco and Tobacco products, these is- sues scoring net gains ranging from fractions to 11a points. Mexican Petroleum. Meneral Motors Atlantic Gulf and International paper averaged one point reaction on ligh, offerings. Sales amounted to 155,00( shares.
 Liberty issues again contributed overwhelmingly to the trade in bonds evincing further regularity. Total sales par value, aggregating s2,950.O00. U $. bonds old issues, were unchanged or call, during the week.

CHICAGO. May 4.-Corn prices took a downward swing today, influenced minly by fine weather and by peace gossip. The market closed weak, IS to 7sc net lower, with May $1.27A and July S1.4S1a to S1.4S9s. Oats lost 5s to 1c. In provisions, there were gains of 15 to 50 points.
 Official announcement that temper atures would remain above normal un- til at least Monday gave the bears in corn an advantage from the start. More over, hopes of export business had flattened out, and fresh evidence was at hand that liberal supplies still remained in first hand and in country elevators. Besides, favorable condi- tions for blowing and seeding were ex- pected to keep primary receipts well in excess of last years figures.
 Absence of any important export for demand and the sloWnesS of domestic call weakened oats Excellent crop reports tended further to make prices descend.
 Provisions rose with hogs. Packers sold on the bulge and caused little reaction.
 May corn $1.27A; July sL4s1s.
 Oats, May 771a; July 6SSs
 Pork, May s46.02; July s46.50.
 Lard, May s2562: July S25.97 Ribs, May $23.55; July s24.S0.

CLEARING HOUSE BANKS

NEW YORK, May 1.-The actual condition of clearing house banks and trust companies for the week show that they hold $37,199,5S0 reserve in excess of legal requirements. This is a decrease of $34,506,410 from last week.
 NEW YORK, May 4-Stocks were variably influenced this week by the Liberty loan drive, better industrial conditions as denoted by the United States Steel report gave further evil dence of federal liberality towards the railroads and the war situation.
 Professional operations in special stocks comprised a very large part of the moderate dealings, rails forming an insignificant portion of the whole earn ings of railroads offered hope of sub stantial improvement.
 It was considered yet too early ac- curately to forecast the effect of the governments action which virtually commanders the output of steel and iron.

Sure You can.
When the postman calls next time,

his bit for Uncle Sam.
Some people III Brattleboro are
following the plan Of buying thrift

and it $ not a half-bad plan either

In addition to the banks there are
