Local Board MoDes Offices

The offices of the Loca
 Board for this county, unti
 recently located in the real
 of the Merchants 6 Stocl
 Growers bank, have beer
 moved to their former loca.
 tion on the upper floor o1
 the courthouse. The deci- sion to make this change was reached at a special meeting of the members of the board, called on Thursday, at which time it was decided that in view of the fact that the re- cent appointment of Mr. G. c. Hall as a member now causes two members of the Board to be located at the courthouse, by reasons of which the members consider ed it best to make the change of this location.
 The usual smooth running machinery of the War De nartmnnt'S interest for this county has been very much handicapped for some time on account of the depleted office force, since MT. H. M. Moritz, one of the members of the Local Board has been confined to his home with the influenza for some three weeks. Chief Clerk Hook way has also been unable to give any time to his duties for about two weeks on ac- count of the serious illness of his wife. Mr. Hookway expects to be at his desk again within the next few days, and with the newly  appointed assistant, MT. J. P. Pingrey, sent here by the War Department, it is ex- pected that the business af- fairs of the Board will be- come normal again, and that no trouble will be experienc- ed in handling the great number of new registrants ordered to report on the fourth and fifth of Novem- Der for medical examina- tion.

Paper Issued With Difficulty


 The News is published this week with great diff culy. Whereas there were three printers working 1T the office last week, there has been but one since Mon day. On that day two of the tourists employed, possibly because they were in debt to us and possibly because they thought they were possessed of all the money they would ever need, left without warming. Be- sides, the editor of the paper has been suffering with in fuenza for about ten days, and part of this time has been confined to his home.
 We do not like to discuss our troubles before the pub lic-to do so too often seems that it is done with the idea of excusing the shortcom- ings of the paper. We would not mention the mat ter at this time were it not that we wish to express our thanks for the courtesy ex- tended us by the publishers ofour esteemed contempora- ry, the HoIbrook Tribune. When one of these gentle men learned of our predica- ment, he came to us and not only placed his plant at our service but offered to go in- to our own shop and print our paper for us. The time ly arrival of a printer from Snowflake made this unne- cessary, but we appreciate the favor just as much as if we had accepted. Such splendid acts of kindness as these make the world a good place in which to live.
