CALL FOR RECRUITS
WILL FORCE BOARD
TORE-C CLASSIFY MEN
Young Married Men Will Prob
ably Soon Be Called Into
Service

About 100 men will be required of
the local exemption board during the
month of August, according to tele-
gram received from the provost gener-
al this afternoon.
The board is instructed that the
calls for August will be as large as
those of July and in order to send the
necessary men, it is instructed to re-
fuse release to any man in class l
who wants to join the navy or emer-
gency fleet or go into any special ser
vice.
The allotment of Marion county has
not as yet been announced but the pro.
vost general instructs the board that
releases are to- be granted under no
circumstances.
The quota for Oregon is 2200 and
the men will be ordered to entrain be-
ginning early in August. Medical Of
ficers ARE instructed to speed up exam
nations especially of the men who
registered June 5, 1918.
The effect of this order is to put
every young man who registered June
Is, 1918, into the service during Au-
gust, provided he is in proper physical
condition. AS there is about rs to 50
young men available from this class,
it is more than PROBABLE in order to
fill its quota during August that the
local exemption board will be obliged
to re-class many men who are now in
class 2.

Business is lively just at present with
the prune packers from the fact that
the buying and selling all came at one
time this year. The government arrang.
ed this schedule, naming the maximum
prices for the growers and permitting
the packers to do business On a small
margin. Hence there is no speculation
or shrewd buying this year. The eastern
buyers of packed prunes are buying on
basis of the maximum price named for
the growers, There seems to be an inn
