AUDRAIN COUNTY WILL
VOTE ON HOSPITAL
FRIDAY APRIL 5TH

Audrain County will vote on hos
pital, Friday, April 5th.
Reports from nearly every COM
munity in the county indicate that
the proposition to establish and main
tain a county hospital will receive
overwhelming endorsement. We can
not conceive of any other result.
The proposition might be stated
thus:
Audrain County needs a hospital.
There is only one way to establish
that hospital. That way is now for
the first time open to the voters.
Our county needs hospital for the
same reasons that any community of
twenty-five thousand people needs a
hospital, schools and churches-for
the community's welfare. A hospital
is linked up with the general welfare
of the community as is no other in
stitution.
The Audrain Hospital, 1t is esti-
mated, will cost about $4,000 or $780,
900. At first blush this appears a
large sum. But when 1t is borne
equally by all the citizens of the
county and the cost is spread over a
number of years, the cost is very,
very small to anyone. For instance.
the cost of the average taxpayer will
probably be about forty or fifty
cents. Tho hospital may cost much
less than the present estimate.
The matter of selecting a site and
the cost of hospital will be deter
mined by a board of representative
citizens from different communities
in the county, named by the County
Court The management of the hospi-
tai will be placed in the hands of an
other board elected by the voters of
the county at a regular election.
Under the provision of the hospital
law, it is impossible for anyone to
profit by the hospital except the gen.
eral public for whom it is established
and maintained. Nothing could be
fairer than this. Nothing could more
strongly deserve the support of every
voter

Of THE
EXEMPTION BOARD

When a QUESTIONABLE is filled out
by a registrant and returned to the
local board, it is classified into one
of the groups, and a card is sent to
each man who has been so classified
notifying him that he has been as
signed to a certain group.
After the receipt of this card by
the registrant his business with the
local board ceases until he is called
for examination and service. If the
registrant is dissatisfied with his
classification, and believes that he
has been placed into a group to which
he does not belong, he may appeal to
the district exemption board for de-
cision. !
In this event, he is requested to
take the card to L. w. Hardy, assis-
tant clerk of the exemption board,
third floor. Brent building, and not
to the clerk of the circuit court.
