LAUNCH MOVEMENT FUR DEPORTATION
 0F EXEMPT ALIENS

The deportation of all aliens, both deciarant and non-declarent, who claimed exemption from military ser vice in the United States during the war on the ground of non citizenship, and who may otherwise be classed as non- -desirabies, is the purpose of a na hon-wide movement just launched by the associated draft boards of Seattle, Wash, a communication from which has just been received by the local draft board. The Seattle boards, in in ltiating the movement, arc asking the united support of the draft boards of the entire country to prevail upon congress to take up the movement.
 The exemption of aliens was the most exasperating experience of the draft boards" the nation wide appeal sent by the Seattle board says. The action of such aliens was cowardly disgraceful and unpatriotic. Eve,y such person immediately branded him. self as a dangerous and undesirable resident. This country nurtured and protected these ingrates At the very first test, when this. nation faced a crisis, these men were unwilling to bear any burdens. For every alien so exempted good American boy had to go to the front. These aliens remained at home in ease and safety"
 The Seattle boards communication also points out that these same aliens who escaped the draft on grounds of not being citizens of the United States are now. many of them. retaining good jobs while the American men who took their places on the firing line are out or work No distinction should be made, 1t goes on, between the alien who surrendered his first naturaliza- ton papers and a non declarant claim ing exemption.
 The communication also declares that draft boards should urge congress to prohibit all general immigration for at least a period of years.
 The Seattle boards point out. in con- eluslon, that concerted action by the nations draft boards would have a pig Influence on congress in the move ment, an dsuggests that all boards and other patriotic organizations urge their own congressman and senators to take up the movement in the national legjs- latiVe body

 Mir. Tomlinson urges a perusal of the report of the marketing committee and urges members. if it meets with their approval. to write to their senators and representatives asking them to support and give them the reasons why it should be supported "The impor- tant and vital point now is." said MT.

LOSS IF ARM DIDN'T HALT THE CAREER
 IF THIS MUSICIAN

Artists and skilled craftsmen, espec- tally musicians and engravers where deNterity and delft touch on the part ot the hands and fingers are necessary have been greatly handicapped where they have suffered loss of arms and hands in the world warfare now raging In many instances, men who have ob- talner large salaries have found their aVocations limited even with the loss of the right hand. Very few are am bidextrous.
 Noted among the musicians to whom the loss of right arm has not caused any lack of surety is M Espriet q contrabasse of the Cards Republicaine band in France. NJ. 'Espriet was wounded at the beginning of the war in a rear guard action after the battle of the Somme While holding a bridge against German artillery fire and hay ing volunteered to destroy the bridge head he was wounded by rifle fire, causing the loss of his right arm. Men toned in orders for bravery for this gallant and meritorious action, he re- ceived the Metallic militaire and Cross of War. Released from active service on account of this mutilation. he again offered his services as a military musi- clan, and now plays with his left hand. the instrument being slung over his shoulder by means of a strap
 This artist will be one of the bass players in the band from the trenches. which comes to America by consent Of the French government. and under the patronage of the National Associa- tion of the Maimed of the War of France.

Tomlinson, sec retary Of the American National Live stock association. to the members of thr association. One of them gives the personnel of the members of the new executive committee and a statement by United States Senator J. E. Ken trick accepting the presidency of the tssociation.
 In this statement President Kend-ick said. As ! glimpse the attitude of congress. there is strong inclination to pass some kind of d bil. If We can only secure the hearty cooperation uf those whose influence counts at this time, l think it is quite likely that We may not get a bill through at this ses- sion, but inasmuch as a number of hearings must be held. it is evident hat some of the ground covered at this session will not have Co be tray eied over again at the next, so that our time will not be entirely lost It Is also quite within the possibilities that We may get a bin through at this session. late though it is. Al any rate. us one member of congress. am working at 1t 3s diligently as ! know how. and ex- pect Co keep up the fight as long as there IS an even chance of success"

 In the other letter. Mr. Tomlinson. speaking Of the various bills now pending in congress relative to market ing and meat packing legislation. thus said Of the bin for which President hendriek is sponsor. The kendrick hih IS a constructive measure: it promises the maximum amount of nehetit without disturbance of our in- iustry. lt is not radical or revolution 3ry in any sense.

 P0ST0FF|cE CLERKS

I<ooI-ln the lODDy or the pOSt0ffice yesterday, a box containing an assort- ment of brown locks. The owner may have same by identifying them at Window No. 10, postoffice building
 While it is true that the locks were found; and it is also true that they are both brown and beautiful; and, true furthermore, that the finder, a young man, blushed when he turned them over to Stamp Clerk Holmes.-it is also true that this same box of won derful brown curls is the innocent cause of lot of embarrassment among the postoffice clerks.
 Everyone there is suspicious of every other one, that the other had purchased the curls for a girl friend and is now too upset over the loss to disclose his identity by claiming them. On the other hand. there is a very lively rumor that the curls belong to a handsome young woman who calls for her mail at the general delivery win dow every day. And, they say:
 After all, how are we to know who they belong to, even though they are identified? What do we know about ringlets that are pinned on. to cover up the pink ears of beautiful woman?"
 At any rate, the curls are there: they belong to some one, who?

A HOME MADE CRAY
 HAIR REMEDY
You Can Make at Home a Better Gray Hair Remedy Than You
 Can Buy

Gray streaked or faded hair is not only unbecoming, but unneces- sary. You can darken it without using dye.
 Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home. at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half pint of water add l ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Con- pound and H ounce of giycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost, or the druggist will put it up for you. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is ob- tained. This will make a. gray haired person look twenty years younger. It is not dye, it does not color the most delicate scalp: is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off"

LIVED THROUGH
HUN BARBARISM
RI. T. NieuwenhOuse Of Rock Island
Hears From Family in Belgium
After -Four Years.

Belief that his family had been
killed by Germans was cleared in
the mind of II. F. Nieuwenhouse,
motorman, of Rock Island. who re-
ceived a letter from his sister in
Belgium the other day. This is the
first word received from the fam
ily In four years.
With the news that they still ex-
list is the word that they are starry
ing and that everything they owned
had to be given up to the Germans
They are destitute, without food,
money and clothing. The sister is
the only one of the six in the fam
lily who works, She earns 81 a
month, scarcely enough to buy a
pair of stockings.
The letter from the sister writ
ten in Belgium and freely translat-
ed is:
We are all alive and well, but
we have seen many hard days. 1t
seems kind of funny not to hear
any more cannon or machine guns
shooting, when in the past we could
not sleep because of the noise.
There were three trenches in
our pasture and the field was full
of shell holes. The house is now a
pile of dirt and we have been liv-
ing in the basement for the last
four years. The roof we had on
that was built of railroad ties.
The Germans have taken every
thing away and they left nothing
for it. If it hadn't been for the Red
Cross we could not have had any
thing to eat or wear. Everything
is high.
Two pounds of coffee costs IS.
Butter is Sc a pound; lard $3.50;
one hair pin costs eight cents;
spool of thread 20 cents; flannel
cloth is SO a yard; COWS sell at
$500 each: pigs at $500.
The second year that we were
in the war we had to pay to have
our own goods delivered to the Ger
mans We had to sell what we
had and give the money to the Ger
mans. The last we had taken away
was a pig. The German officer
came and said the pig was to be de-
livered the next day. We sold it
instead. Early the next day the
officer came and asked for the
money Mother told him that an
other German officer came and got
the money. That was the only time
we were able to fool them.
I'VE have no farm animals now.
We had to give everyone away and
did not receive a penny for them.
We are here without clothes, food
and money, and there is no work.
Il hope that some day can see
you and live the rest OF our lives
in America If We could walk
across the ocean We would start
out tonight and be there in the
morning.

money and some stockings? l only
