EXPLAINS HOW RECIST-
RANTS ARE CLASSED.
JUDGE DAVIS, CHAIRMAN STATE EXEMPT
ION BOARD TELLS HOW RECISrRANE
ARE ALL CLASSIFIED.

Eor the information of the
public, the District Board thru
Judge Ewin L. Davis. Chairman.
has given out the following state
ment:
1T appears that there is con-
siderable confusion and misun-
derstanding in the public mind
as to the status of a registrant
who is placed in different classes
upon different claims. Many
registrants have more than one
claim for deferred classification,
and it is necessary for the Boards
to act upon each claim. The
Local Boards act upon depend
ency and all other claims except
those based upon engagement in
agricultural and industrial enter
prises. While Local Boards
make recommendations as TO
such. yet District Boards classify
registrants upon agricultural and
industrial claims. Claims for
deferred classification because Of
dependents, physical condition,
or any claim other than agricul-
tural or industrial do not come
before the District Board for
action, unless there is an appeal
from Local Boards, either by the
regiStrants or the Government
A registrant always takes the
most deferred classification Civ.

ed, of course. if an appeal is tax.
en- from the action of the Local
Board, the action upon such ap.
peal by the District Board super
cedes the faction of the Local
Board, if the District Board
changes the classification given
by the Local Board. In other
words, if a registrant is placed
in Class w by the Local Board.
and is then placed in Class !. II
or III, upon an agricultural or
industrial claim by the District
Board, he still takes the most de-
| ferred classification, and remains
lin Class w; or if he is placed in
Class |, II or III by the Locat
Board, upon a dependency claim.
but is placed in a more deferred
classification by the District
Board upon an agricultural or
industrial claim, he takes the
more deferred classification.
The fact that he is placed in =
less deferred classification upon
one claim does not in any wise
interfere with a more deferred
classification allowed upon soma
lother claim"

A meeting of importance to
the farmers of Jackson county
has been called by Hon. H. A.

or, to be held in Nashville April
80. The purpose of the meeting
is explained by Mr.. Morgan.
To promote the sheep growing
industry in Tennessee, a conven-
ton of all interested In the rails
ing of sheep will be held at the
State Capitol in Nashville on
April 80 at II o'clock A. M, You
are urged to have a meeting OF
the farmers of your county who
are interested in this matter
held between now and the date
of the Nashville meeting at
which one or more delegates.
who will attend, should be select
ed to the State meeting, All
others who are interested In the
subject, should be accorded an
invitation to attend.
The world faces a very serious
shortage of wool as the result of
the war and the CONSEQUENT de-
mand for woolen fabrics. If
every pound of the annual wool
clipped were equally distributed
between all the people Of the
world each person would only
get thirty.six ounces Of that well
nigh indispensable articleo of wear
ing apparel. To properly cloth
and equip the millions Of Ameri!
can soldiers that will he called
out to defend our liberties the
demand..fo for wool that will be
tremendously increased. Never
in the history of this country has
wool commanded the price now
paid for it. Lambs and sheep
have a food value that is not sur
passed by any other meat. The
world is short" on. meat. Yet
despite this increased demand for
both wool and meats our Ameri-
can farms. especially those in
Tennessee. show a reduction in
the number ofisheep kept. Not
only is our production Of sheep
not keeping pace with the in
creased demand. but is actually
being decreased and this at 9
time when they are indispensi.

Under these conditions We
ought to have a good ittepdanee
from every county in, the State
at our convention here on April

hardship, l would suggest that
your farmers contribpte toward

JOE STECHER WILL
MEET THE CHAMP
IF HE WINS MATCH

Joe Stecher, Nebraska wrestler and
contender for the heavyweight
championship held by Private Earl
Caddock of Camp Dodge, will get an
other chance to rise to the highest
pinnacle in the next month or so.
The Nebraska mat artist is sched-
uled to meet Wladek Zbyszko. the
giant Pole, In a big event at Madison
Square garden, New York, on the
night of Friday, March l.
The Nebraska farmer boy will get
another crack at the heavyweight
champion, Earl Caddock. il he sue
ceeds in downing Jack Curley's giant
grappler when they clash at Gotham
next month.
The Dodge. Neb.. wrestler. at one
time was recognized worlds cham
pion. He lost the title to Earl Cad
dock last April at Omaha when he
was Topped by the Iowan in finish
match. Stecher was out OF the game
for some time after the match owing
to sickness, but has now regained his
health and is showing old time form.
A victory over Zbyszko will entitle
Stecher to another match with Cad
dock. His biggest victory since his
comeback was over Hussane at New
York two weeks ago. 1t required the
Dodge wrestler one hour and a few
minutes to down the Bulgarian, which
was almost the same time that it re-
quired Caddock to flop Hussane.
The match at New York between
Zbyszko and Stecher will be a limited
match or it may be for one fall.
Gotham fans are in favor of One-fall
match as they get enough wrestling
and more action in single fall than
they would in two or three falls. as
both grapplers go at top speed in d
shorter bout.
It is almost certain that a new set
Of rules governing the wrestling game
will be established soon. A meeting
was held Saturday morning at the

! A decision in a wrestle always
leaves a winner and loser and the
fans are generally satisfied with a re-
| suit as long as the better man does
not get the worst of the deal.
1t was not so many years ago that
a finish wrestling match went to five
falls. 1t was later cut down to the

JIM SULLIVAN NOW
A TRENCH FIGHTER
in PLACE OF RING

One of the boxer heroes of Great
Britain is Jim Sullivan, the former
middleweight champion of England,
who, if he is still in the land of the
living. is private with the Third
Scottish regiment
Jim made his ring debut II years
ago, when he was stopped. in the first
round by fellow named Hickman in
bout at Coney Island.
Probably no other fighter who ever
attained a title had such tough luck
in his early days in the game. Of his
seven contests, he was victorious in
only one, and for a time he was a
laughing stock. The fighting Sullivan
spirit kept him going, and in 1909 the
tide turned, and he soon fought his
way to the top of the British middle
weight ladder.
Jim was hero in London when he
fought Billy Papke there in 1911, but
Papke was too much for him. and he
floored him for the count in the ninth
round. Sullivan continued to claim
the middleweight championship Of
Europe until 1912, when he fought
Georges Carpenter at Monte Carlo,
and was knocked out in the second
round
