EXEMPTION BOARD RECEIVES
ORDERS TO HOLD ALL MEN
FOR AUGUST DRAFTS.

1t was quiet in the exemption
board offices today after the depar-
ture of the Lake county men for
Camp Dodge, Ia. There is quite a
demand on the part of 1918 regis
trants to be released and permitted
to enlist in the navy. In reply to
their opportunities Clerk Johnson
hands them the following telegram
from the state adjutant general, re-
ceived yesterday, and that settles the
matter without further comment:
Boards will refuse to release to
the navy, marine corps or emergency
fleet all registrants of 1917 or 1918
who have been or will be classified
in class / until sufficient number OF
class / physically qualified for gen
eral military service are in sight to
fill calls up to August 81. This ap-
plies whether or not registrants have
been finally classified. Boards are
required to exercise every effort to
have sufficient men ready to fill the
August calls. Boards are directed to
speed up examinations"

LUGED YESTERDAY AFT

An unusually heavy rain with a
light s%prinkling of hail and high
wind came upon this city about 4:30
yesterday afternoon and continued
perhaps a half hour.
Reports indicate that the storm
was most violent north and north
east, Madison being in the southern
portion, the rain extending only
about two miles south of the city.
In the city there was M damage, ex-
cept slight interference with the cleo
trio and telephone wires which were
placed in working condition a short
time after the storm ceased.
Reports from many localities in
the county today are that there was
more or less damage to the crops.
Corn in the fields was badly blown
down by the wind and In some cases
the plants showed the effect of being
pelted by the hail. Farmers, how
ever, give it as their opinion that the
corn will to a considerable
extent and the loss will not be of
general Importance. Small grain suf-
fered by being swamped by the high
wind and the loss in many cases will
be considerable, it is said.
Farmers in the city this morning

was a case of wallowing to get the
cars through. Several cars were seer
on the roads which had been aban-
doned. Fields adjoining the roads
all showed the effects of the storm,
small grain being lodged and corn
blown down. No estimate could be
obtained from the farmers of what
the probable extent of permanent
damage to the crops would be.
Telephone and telegraph commu-
nication out of the city today was in
terfered with. some lines being en-
tirely down.
A heavy rain beginning at DON to-
day, continued IN hour or two, but
there was no wind or hail accompany
ing. With the several rains which
have visited this section during the
past three days the country is thor
oughly drenched.
There were many reports current
this afternoon of damage by hail
during the storm which prevailed
during the Dol hour. The most Sc
rious report was phoned in by Geo.
McAllister. Of Franklin township,
who stated that hail fell in quite a
large area in his neighborhood, some
of the hailstones being as large as
hens eggs. Fred Schultz. Of the Ju-
MUS State bank. phoned that while
there was heavy rainstorm In that vi
lcinity there WAS no wind or hail.
