BOYS FROM FARMS
JOIN THE COLORS
District Draft Board Will Probably
BE More Liberal in Placing Them
in Deferred Glasses

Sheriff Mcclure was present at the
chamber of commerce luncheon Tues
day and gave some interesting infor-
nation regarding the work of the
Whitman county draft board. He
said that many people were blaming
the board for not exempting or Civ
ing deferred classification to more
farm boys, when as matter of fact
it passed only on the question of de-
pendents, the district board at Yak
ina handling all matters pertaining
to industrial and agricultural eXemp-
tons or deferments. He maintained
that there are enough men left in the
county to handle the farm work, pro-
vided the older ones, who have re-
tired from active farming, will turn
out and do their bit toward taking
the place of the younger men called
into the service. There are also nu-
merous men with farming equip
ment who are ready to rent farms, If
the owners are not in a position to
run them. The board has sent sew
eral of these would-be renters into
the Uniontown and Cotton districts.
He stated that three-fourths of the
2S4 men in the last call in this coun-
ty were farm boys. The reason is
that practically all the young men
from the county are physically fit,
while many of those from the towns
and cities fail to pass the physicaI
examination. He added that In many
country communities from which
most of the young men have gone to
Join the colors. those remaining feel
dissatisfied and are trying to get into
some branch of the service. AS a re-
suit of these conditions the shortage
of farm help will be felt seriously
next spring, although the district
board at Yakima will probably be
much more liberal than in the past
in putting farm boys in deferred
classes. Whitman county has filled
all the quotas called for and is rapid
ly being drained of young men. The
only solution of the problem Is FOR
the older men to go on the farms
and do the best they can to fill the
vacancies.

Pullman QUOTA
IS HALF RAISED
Subscriptions Are Gaming i'm Rather
slowly hut Committee Hopes OBJ
jective Will BE Reached
This Week

In to noon yesterday about half
Of Pullman's quota of $175,18O of
the Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds had
been subscribed. The committee
hopes that the total quota will be
subscribed before tomorrow night,
when Honor Week closes. Few of
the larger subscribers have yet re-
ported and comparatively little dis
satisfaction has been manifested with
the quotas allotted to individuals. On
account of the delay in announcing
the amount of the loan, and the CON
seQuent late date of apportioning the
quota, many people did not receive
their notices till this week. A big
rush of subscriptions is due today
and tomorrow.
The visit of the war trophy train
this afternoon is expected to stimu-
late interest in the drive and the ia
VOrable news from France will no
doubt encourage the people of this
community to do their share in bring
Ing the war to victorious end.
The opening of college and the
great influx of students has kept
everyone in town so busy that many
have not had time to go to the banks
and list their subscriptions. but the
committee urges them to do so be-
fore tomorrow night without fail
Pullman can not afford to have it's
name omitted from the list of com
munities subscribing their quotas
during honor week.
Every loyal citizen is expected to
go to his or her bank before tomor-
row afternoon, find out the quota
of bonds allotted to him or her and
cheerfully subscribe for them in
order to back up the magnificent
work Of the American boys on the
lighting front. The money must be
provided in order to permit them TO
follow up the successes which they
have already won.

MENNETT HANGS SELF
IN BROTHERS. BARN
Brooding Over Crippled Condition
Thought 10 Have Caused Mark
Mennett To END His Life

Mark Monnett committed suicide
by hanging last Sunday afternoon,
the liIeless body having been discov-
cred dangling from rope in the
barn of his brother, Emil Mennett,
about 1870. Mennett was a bache-
Tor and was "a years of age. He had
been crippled since childhood and in
innate acquaintance are of the opin-
ion that brooding over his physical
condition, which kept him out of the
military service, resulted in tenn
pOrary unbalancing of his mind and
that he was in this condition when
he ended his life He had filled out
his QUESTIONABLE only day or two
previous and had expressed keen re-
gret and chagrin that he had been
forced to certify to physical defects
which would preclude the possibility
of service. The body was found hang
ing in the manger of the barn, the
neck having been broken when Men
nett stepped from the manger after
placing the moose about his neck.
Mr. Mennett was born in Pullman
September %, 1884, his parents be-
ing Julius and Julia Mennett, pio-
neers of this vicinity. The mother
died when Mark was three years of
age and he had made his home with
his brother, Emil, ever since. He is
survived by his father and five
brothers. Three brothers, Emil.
Ernest and William, reside near
Busbey station, three miles east of
Pullman; Alfred is farming in Mon
tana, while Edward and the father
are residents of Medical Lake.
For the past 10 years deceased had
been manager of the Pacific Coast
Elevator company's warehouse at
Busbey station, and was known as
an industrious, reliable. hard-work-
ing man, being recognized as one of
the most efficient warehouse manag-
ers in this vicinity
He was widely known in this com
munity and had many friends who
mourn his tragic death.
Funeral services were held from
Kimball's chapel Monday afternoon
and interment was in Clinton ceme-
terry, where the mother is buried.

RITCHIE UNDECIDED
ABOUT FEDERAL JOB.

When Attorney General Albert G..
Ritchie was called month ago to the
position of counsel to the War In
dustries Board in Washington he ac-
cepted the place tentatively.
First, he was anxious to ascertain if
the duties of the new post imposed
upon him tasks to which he was equal
In the second place he wished to as
certain if the compensation would be
sufficient to give him living wage.
He is assured by the Board that he
is fully competent to perform the
duties of his position. At the same
time, it is said, that his annual salary
will be about one-fourth of that which
he receives as Attorney General. In
brief, his Federal compensation does
not provide a living wage.
Friends of Mr.. Ritchie who have
been grooming him for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor next
year declare that his declination of the
Federal post, if the declination be
comes a positive fact. does not enter
Mr. Ritchie's mind in his hours of deeI
thought as to his course.
