cubic feet of gas, established by Sec
ton eight Of Chapter 225 Of the pub
lie laws OF 1913. is now entirely in
sufficient and inadequate.

Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates general weakness of the body and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors only irritate and do little if any good.

TWO SENT
INTO ARMY
FROM HERE
MOncriel and Singleton IaducIed; Failed
10 Fill Oui Qutslionnaires; Regis
tered With Other Boards

Tollie Moncrief and T j. Singleton
were inducted into the army today
via the local hoard route as a result
Of their failure to fill out question
naires. They were taken to TT Sill
by Police Officer Looney.
Monerief registered at Carrizozo
N NJ, but later came to his home in
Grady county He was examined
here and found to be physically fit.
He was not called to service before
the QUESTIONABLE was issued. The
local board has been hearing of Mon.
Grief for sometime, it being stated
by various parties that he had not
filled out his questIsnnaire few
days ago he was arrested by Depu.
ty u. S. Marshal Worley and herald.
ed before u. S. Commissioner Speake
who, after hearing the evidence, turn
ed him over to the local board for
induction into the army. The local
board wired the Carrizozo board and
received a reply that that board had
not been able to get in touch with
Moncrief for some time, and advis.
ing that he be sent to the army at
once.
Singleton has been working on a
farm for Mr. Turner, who lives
northwest of Chickasha An investi-
cation of his case showed that he
had registered in Stephens county
and though he had not filled out a
questionable, it appeared from the
evidence that the fact was due to his
failure to comprehend the meaning
of the regulations.
Mr.. Turner, the man for whom he
worked, stated to the local board
that Singleton was a splendid farm
hand and that he had told his en-
ployer repeatedly that it was high
time they were getting the work in
shape as he was expecting to be call
ed at any time, and was anxious to
60 but that he did not like to go
until the crop was in good condition.
Authority was obtained from the
Stephens county board to send him
to Fit Sill The two men will be
turned over to the commanding Off
Ger of the post today.
