county fooled" lot Of people. The

and when he was asked about what
class he "drew" in the QUESTIONABLE he
stated that he was in class 5. Asked
how he managed to land in that one
he intimated it was his Influence"
that urned the trick. Then the other
young registrants became both busy
and noisy; they ripped and raved over
the injustice done, and things were
! shaping up for a general remOnstrance
against the ruling when it occurred to
one of the dissatisfied ones that it
might be we'll to examine the record.
| This was done, and the joke was in
! the revealed fact that the young man
| had waived all claim for exemption
and periodically took his place in
class 1 A. The fellows who were rail
| ing against the ruling" are now main
tanning a resounding silence.-Hills-
