ings, potato associations and CO.

men were the topics dwelled upon.

come.
One Of the last communications
received at the draft board office
was letter of appreciation received
from Adjutant General Rhinow. 1t
follows:
Rhinow Praises Board.
The beginning of the great work
your board has so successfully and
tirelessly performed during the past
year and half, doing your part in
the selection and induction Of men,
who have carried with them into the
ranks Of the greatest army the worl d
has ever known, the dual PERSONAL
ity of Americanism and democracy
which your members inculcated in
their Interpretation and application
Of the selective service law, is about
to be brought to successful close
by the completion of the records
which will remain as a monument
to your faithfulness to the country's
service.
1T is with the greatest sincerity
that the draft executors office at
your state headquarters express to
you their hearty thanks and full
appreciation for the never ceasing
cooperation which they have en-
joyed in the work from you and your
faithful associates"
