INSTRUCTIONS.

XFrankfort, Ky, June 1s.-June ~
10 30 will be "Class I week with
local Exemption Boards, at which
time they will revise their elassih-
cations under instructions from Maj.
Henry r. Rhodes, selective service
officer of Kentucky.
In a circular letter TO the boards
he said:
"The status Of the number Of men
in Class / is lower than the aver
age" and especial attention is in
vited TO the dependency clause.
The Reconsideration includes those
enormously granted deferred elassi-
fication by district boards.
He said:
always bear in mind that war
will create some sacrifice and hard
ship. No person has a right to refuse
10 sacrifice luxuries. On the other
hard IL Is not the intention Of the
law TO deprive dependents Of rea-
sonably adequate support Reason
able adequate support cannot be de
termined by rule Of tine thumb, but
must be determined with common
sense and sympsthy in the facts Of
each individual case. What would be
adequate support in one locality
might not be in another. The ques-
ton Of adequate support must be de
termined with the thought always in
mind that the present classification
scheme is designed to raise our arm
les with a minimum Of hardship and
suffering to those who are left at
home"
For Limited Service.
Complete inspection Of all ques-
tionnaires, where deferred classical
ton has been granted, is ordered,
with directions to re-examine under
the new standard Of physical exam

bring in for limited service many
men heretofore totally rejected.
While the order practically applies
only to Glass 2, A and b; Class 3. A.
B, and c. and Glass 4, the boards are
not limited TO these.
Concerning dependency the letter
says: -

visions Of my Bulletin No<16. under

BAD WEATHER RETARDS ROAD
IMPROVEMENT.

Bad weather, following heavy
rains, prevented the Southern AS
phalt Company, of Louisville, yester-
day from inaugurating it's road i'm
provement plans in this county. Ar
rangements had been perfected to re-
surface the Paris and North Middle
town pike with an oil treatment, of
which fifty per cent. was guaranteed
asphalt.
This resurfacing treatment is to be
applied for three consecutive years,
when, the contractors say, the road
will be equal almost to an asphalted
road. The treatment costs approx
mately $500 a mile. The company
has on hand ready for the work two
tanks of oil, containing 10000 gal
Ions each.
The work will begin just as soon
as weather conditions are favorable.
The new resurfacing will make a
splendid riding roadway surface.
The work may be extended to other
pixies in the county, if favorable
weather permits.
