When the authorities decided for
several reasons. the principal one be-
ing that the men must be always on

leave in certain restricted areas the
men evinced the greatest disgust
Mrs, Roosevelt declared. "Thcy

WAR BUREAU WANTS
DISCHARGE RECORDS
All Service Men Are AsH>d to Leave
Record of Their Discharge at
Office in City Hall.

In order that their records may be
correct. the War Bureau urgently re-
quests all returning soldiers and
from the service 10 come to the office
of the War Bureau in City hall to en-
roll their names on the official dis
charge roll book. This system of hav-
ing the men enroll is being taken up
by nearly all the towns and cities in
this state and it is hoped that each
man returning home from the service
will feel it a duty to assist the War
Bureau in this work.
The enrolment of the men in this
manner is almost a necessity and the
War Bureau is recognized as the hea d
under which the work should come.
There will be many questions to com G
uto later after the men have been out
of the service. They may be out many
m onths whom some proposition will
crop up unexpectedly and if the War
Bureau has the record of the mans
discharge II may prevent much trou-
bic and confusion.
The question Of allotm ents may
come mp. or the payment of m oney on
Liberty Bonds may be questioned. If
city of the discharge of the soldier or
sailor to which he can with conf
dence refer, it may mean that the en-
tanglement will be Strengthened out

Monument No. POS at one mile inter-

ers if this line should later be adopted
as the most practical. Considerable
difficulty has been encountered IN
sinking these holes to the grade OF the
proposed canal section on account OF
the loose running sand mixed with
some gravel. The method followed
has been to sink 4-foot by 4-foot hole
through the gravel stratas, finishing
the holes by sinking I inch casing
and removing the material with post
hole auger. The gravel has made the
progress low. Considerable stripping
has been done along the side OF the
washes on the south side of Pilot Knob
to expose the undisturbed material.
