In this connection we feel that
it is due to Carl Frazer and to
the Local Exemption Board to
answer some criticisms in re-
gard to his classification. Carl

sought to avoid the draft and in

waived exemption. After he
had been placed in Division A of

cation on the ground that he was
engaged. in an agricultural enter
prise. This claim was referred
to the District Board at Madison.
vile as the Local Board has no
jurisdiction to pass upon such
claims. The District Board
changed his classification and
placed him in a deferred class.
DR.. 7. A. Frazer and the Local
Board had no authority in fixing
his classification after the claim
was made that Carl was engaged
in an agricultural enterprise.
But we are glad to say for DR..
Frazer that he never at any time
asked that Carl be placed in a
deferred class but on the other
hand Joined in with the Local
Board in recommending that his
son Carl be put back in class !,
which the District Board did up
en- recommendation of DR.. Fraz.
er and the other members of the
Local Board.
As it has been unjustly charg.
ed tharDr. Frazer has used his
influence as a member of the
Local Board to secure exemption
for his son, we Gre glad of this
ep pDortunity to set him right.

St. Louis. Mo. The constant

that goes into the making of q
newspaper has led the st. Louis
Semi Weekly Republic to in.
crease its yearly subscription
rate to one dollar. Its publish
ers announce that the new rate
becomes effective September /.
1918. AS the Semi.Weekly Re.
public prints 104 papers every
year, its publishers point out
that its subscribers will get two
big issues every week for a frac.
tion under one cent per copy.
Practically every big daily in the
United States is now selling at
two cents a copy and many of
them are selling at 8 cents. The
rise in price has been very gen.
eral and very marked. Sunday
papers now are selling anywhere
from 8 to IL cents per copy in all
parts of the country. Most of
the papers in the towns and
smaller cities have increased or
are planning to increase their
subscription rates. The Publish.
ere of the Semi.Weekly Republic

crease in subscription price but

TO THE MOTHERS OF
BOYS IN SERVICE

This is plea for cheerful letters to
our boys. Several instances of the
consequences of the "weepy" letter
from home have come to my attention
and prompt me to take up the cause Of
the Cheerful Letter"
A returned Vermont "Y" worker
tells me that the boys are depressed
many times, when they need uplift, by
receiving the long looked for home
letter.
One Of our boys on duty at "a
hour mess, where boys who have
served lover there" have their first
meal on home soil, writes me that
their chief and general complaint is
that SO many folks write them weepy
letters instead of go-to-it letters, and
that it makes them down hearted
instead of giving them the pep they
need
So, Mothers, write cheerful letters
and write often. Your boy needs them,
and the writing of such letter will be
an uplift for you, and will keep you
in closer touch with him.

REASONS WHY EGGS WILL BE
EXTREMELY HIGH THIS FALL
AND WINTER

Last year up to May 1st eggs were
put into storage at a cost ranging
from 81 to 35 cents per dozen; this
season the cost ranged from 80 to 40
cents. This means that the egg oper-
ators will push up the price of storage
eggs, so that they can make a profit
which, in turn, will advance the price
if fresh eggs.
There is certain disadvantage in
this, owing to the fact that extremely
high prices for fresh eggs greatly
limits consumption because the public
turns towards substitutes.
Another reason for the high priced
fresh product is that the Government
has put a limit on the amount OF
profit the egg operator can make on
each dozenj and as soon as conditions
arrive at which he can unload and
