QUIT EASY JOB"
OR SHOULDER GUN
EDICT TO WORK OR FIGHT" is
BEING ENFORCED BY THE
LOCAL BOARD.

The local board has begun apply
ing work or fight" order as prescrib-
ed by the provost marshal general,
and many will be made to drop their
easy jobs" and get one that will pro-
duce something to win the war, or
to shoulder a gun and meet the Ger
man in "No Mans Land"
A number of notices have been
sent to registrants in Dawson and
Terrell county, including clerks in
stores and other like positions.
Classihcations Don't Count
Deferred classifcations and de-
tendency claims are of no value in
avoiding army service to the physi-
cally fit who cannot prove they are
essential to proper conduct of the
war. Investigation of registrants'
qualifications were instituted on July
1st. The local draft board is follow
ing two plans of investigation Study
ing questionnaires and personal in
terrogation of men believed to be
needed more in the army than in
their lines of work.
Finding such a man they notify
him to appear before them and show
why his deferred classification should
not be revoked. No definite number
of days notice is stipulated; merely
a reasonable length Of time to allow
the registrant to assemble his proof.
The local board shall give an imme-
date hearing, recording all testi-
mony offered.
Cases Reviewed Immediately.
Regardless of their decision, wheth-
er to withdraw deferred classification
or not, they must forward all papers
in the case to the district board, who
in turn must make an immediate re-
view of the case. In that way every
such case is repealed automatically.
Then, if the decision of the district
board is unanimous, the case is clos
ed, and the local board will so mott
fly the adjutant general. The man is
indicted at once. But, if there is a
vote in the district board
the registrant may appeal to the pres
ident. Such an appeal does not act
as stay of execution.
All Must Work.
Extracts from the edict are:
"All men in the draft ages must
work at least thirty-six hours each
week. The idle rich are not excused.
1t is no defense if the accused has
money, property or income sufficient
to support himself and dependents.
"The law is violated when the ac-
cuSed is idle a week or a portion
thereof"

A wife may not be able to make her husband give her much of any thing else. But he usually has to give her her own way.
 If a mans children are so good that he brags about the way he has trained them, it is a sign that his wife did it.
 The girl who says she hates you for kissing her when' you had an opportunity would probably hate you twice as much if you hadn't taken advantage of the opportunity.
 Agents usually manage to make a good living because woman believes that anything that is cheap is bar gain even if it is useless.
 When a girl who is making $10 a week finds that she can't make both ends meet on such a salary. she gets married because she knows that she can live on half of the $15 a week her husband makes.
 Why is it that the things you have no use for are so cheap that the things you like are so expen- sive?
 It doesn't take a new hired girl long to get acquainted with the fam fly skeleton.

Northwest Crops Good.
Seattle Post-lntelligencer. ]


 In spite of dry weather continued long growing period, crop reports for Washington Ore and Idaho to the effect that last years yield will be exceeded in the coming harvest and that the Northwest states will show wheat crop of approximately 65,O00,O00 bushels. Last years yield for the Northwest was 58,900,000 bushels While the yield per will be large this year the seasons total will be sweed by the increased acre age. Rains, though belated, have improved pros poets somewhat and the total may thus extend be- yond the estimates.
 In the nation the long suspense of waiting for the wheat to mature is largely over, though Western Canada fields still lacking some days ma turity. The world has waited anxious1y for news of its growing crop, has the outcom. of so issue turned upon it. It seems now reasonably assured that the Allied countries will not be lacking in bread for another year, and that their armies will be abundantly sustained in the field as well as the civilians at home. Last years wheat crop of 685 million bushels in the nation is to bc greatly exceeded just how much yet to be deter mined, but it is reasonable expect yield this year of little less than billion bushels.
 In the Norwest an adequate harvest gives prom lse to our agricultural interests of continuing pery. In general lines of trade the whole state ia feeling the stmulant of operations and par tlcnlarIy or shipbuilding. good crop will take care or the farmer and include him in the general prosperity. The Northwest should have a year of continuing growth and progress ahead of it.
