CLASSIFY BLANKS
OF RECISTRANTS
Work Of Examining Questionnaires
and Assigning Men to Divisions
Begun BY Board.
THOSE AFFECTED ARE INFORMED
Each Person to Be Notified as to His
Status in Draft rs Fixed by
Exemption Officials.

Although it was previously intended
to wait until all of the questionnaires
had been returned by the registrants
before the work of classifying them
was undertaken, the Rock Island
exemption officials have already
started on the work, the first three or
four hundred now having been duly
listed. Notification OF the action will
be now sent the registrants inform
ing them of the class to which the To-
cal board has assigned them.
While the regulations govern the
work of classification by the local
boards provides that the registrants
be informed as to what class they
have been placed in within four days
after the questionnaires are returned
to the exemption board, the local Off
Gals have attempted to handle the
difficult situation as best they could,
and because of the enormous amount
Of work they have had, it has been i'm
possible up until yesterday, for any
thing to be done. However, each day
as the returned missionaries were
received by the exemption board they
were sorted into. piles according 10
their order numbers, so that when the
work of classification was begun they
could be taken i'm numerical order.
Will Report Action.
From now on as the exemption Off
Gals are able, the questionnaires will
be classified and a report of the &C
ton mailed the registrant. The local
boards action is later reported to the
district board at Peoria, which takes
final action in the matter of deferred
classification, with due regard to the
recommendations Of the decision made
here in each case. In the cases of
registrants who have not properly
filled in their questionnaires, they
will be recalled and the errors cor
rected before the exemption officials
can attempt to classify them.

CITY water CUT
NEAR THE TOWER
Service Main to Forty Second Avenue
Standpipe Freezes Up and
Ii Broken.
TAKES SOME TIME TO REPAIR
People Living in Houses Classed in
High Service Incanvenlenced
by Accident.

Although many have the service
pipes to their homes. people living in
the vicinity of the Watch Tower have
been going without city water for
more than three weeks.
The first zero weather of. the sea-
son, several weeks ago. froze the ser
vice pipe leading up to the tank of
the standpipe at FOrty-secOnd avenue.
The pipe broke in several places and
workmen are now busily engaged in
repairing it.
This is the first winter the stand
pipe at Forty-second avenue has been
in operation. The service pipe had
been carefully boxed and protected,
but it developed that the main was
not covered warmly enough. The
homes classed in the low service in
that district are still getting city wa
ter through gravity, but those on the
bluffs, who are classified in the high
service, will not get city water until
the main is repaired.
DoeNot Use Enough.
John A. Murrin, commissioner of
public works, stated this morning that
the cause for the pipe freezing up.
he found, was that not enough water
was being used.
my men had the service pipe to
the tank sufficiently protected, but the
people of that district did not use
enough water. Consequently the
stream was sluggish most of the time
and froze easily. AS quickly as the
main is repaired We will keep the wa
ter running. This state of affairs is
not likely to occur again. he said.
People living in the high service
district will have to continue carrying
water to their homes until the break
is repaired.

By the help of Tanlac I have over come troubles I had begun to fear would end my life,'' said Mrs. Aline Ramsey, who resides at 303 South Pearl Street, Dallas, Texas, recently.
 My stomach has been troubling me for eight years,'' she continued, and | had gotten to where I couldn't even eat raw eggs or drink sweet milk without suffering afterwards At times my stomach was so gassy< and upset that l couldn't retain thing For the past two years I have had rheumatism in my right shoulder and arm so bad I could hardly use my hand. I was so nervous and miser- able 1 could hardly sleep at all and could do no work without feeling com pletey exhausted. I was badly con- situated, had such a glimmer before my eyes I could hardly see and would cften get so dizzy I had to lie down.
 T look nearly every medicine I ever heard of and tried in vain so long without getting anything to help mo that ] had begun to think couldn't get well. Then my nephew from Georgia told me about Tanlac and while I never got much relief from my first bottle, the second got me to eating hearty and sleeping fine. I finished my third bottle with such a big appetite that I could hardly get enough to eat and my stomach trouble and rheumatism are gone: So now can eat what I want, sleep like child and am praising TanIac for my wonderful recovery.

THE OLDER MEN MUST
 TRAIN FOR WAR WORK

Walter Camp, the famous athlete and trainer, warns the American peo- pie that Defeat means subjugation. Perhaps there are nations and races meant for slavery, but to an Ameri- can freedom means too much that the horrors that would come from a de feat and subjugation would probably produce suicidal mania Spirtiu. ally, defeat at the hands of Ger many would mean that our American youth would turn from thoroughbred racers to dreary draft oxen, strug- gling with hopeless load The pie. ture seems impossible. Shall we make it impossible? If we are going to do this, every one-not only of military age, but beyond that-must make himself physically fit to stand the strain of long contest There are S,000,O00 men in this country be- tween the ages of 45 and GA upon whom the brunt of the financial and executive work must fall, and they must renew their youthful vigor and endurance if they are to support properly the men in the line You cannot whistle physical condition back like a dog when you need it.

ARMS FOR AMERICAN RIFLEMEN

The Arizona Council of Defense is advised that the War Department now has supply of more than 100000 service rifles and that 13,000 day are being added. This happens to be two and half times as great as the daily product in England. In addi- tion, on hand in the United States are 2S0,00O effective rifles of three other types, suitable for training purposes. It is noted that only about half the American troops carry rifles in ser vice. Ball cartridges are being turn ed out at the rate of 7,3O0,00O a day The War Department claims that its action in turning toward a modified enfield rife, an improvement on the English type, so to take the Spring. field ammunition, has been proven the right thing to have done and that American riflemen now have the best small arms in existence.

WESTERN RESOURCES, 8
 POLITICAL FOOTBALL

Oil production is one of the great primary industries of the west. It's development means millions in pay rolls and taxes to any state in which it is located.
 Measures are before congress which would encourage development at this critical time and yet department heads for one reason or another, hold up their passage by substituting new sections which virtually kill any chance of development.
 Politicians have made the natural resources of the west a political foot ball for years and it would seem that at a time when every drop of oil we can produce is needed, they would strive to encourage instead of dis courage production.
