DRAFT BOARD IS 0. K. REPORT OF INQUIRY CLEARS

BODY—WORK OF MEMBERS COMMENDED

Minneapolis Journal (3): The Morri­son county draft board was given a clean bill today by Major John P. Sny­der, chief draft aid, in a report of an investigation of the board by Captain Harry Murphy, draft inspector.

"The inquiry showed that the only fault with the Morrison county draft board was its tendency to be overzeal-ous," said Major Snyder. "It did not seem to realize that the district boarA was trying to work with it, and some difficulties followed. These have been satisfactorily adjusted and the board has a ele.ar record."

Individual board members were com­mended by the draft officials for their conscientious work. Special mention was made of Sheriff Paul Felix, who has three sons in military service.

WERNER APPOINTED MUSICAL DI­RECTOR

N. N. Bergheim has appointed C. H. Werner of Royalton as musical director of the Liberty choruses that will be maintained throughout the county.

The different war activities who have offices in the First National bank build­ing are greatly in need of file cabinets where the many papers which accumu­late in the work may be filed. Anyone who has a filing cabinet which is not in use and in good order can greatly aid those in the offices by lending it to them until further arrangements are made.

The following men have been sworn in by the Advisory Board as being qual­ified to serve in helping registrants fill out their questionnaires:

Peter Holum on Wednesdays. Walter Muske and H. L. Rethmeier

on Thursday. . Jacob Posch in place of Jos. Moeglein

Smoots on Saturdays.

The Fourth Liberty Loan drive launched in Morrison county Saturday was a fine success it going "over the top" in a hurry. In fact Morrison was one of the first three counties to make its quota in Minnesota. Its wonderful success was due to the co-operation of the people of the county with Chairman Millard and the majors and captains of each district, who confined their efforts to making the drive a success.

The drive started at 9 o'clock Sat­urday morning with the blowing of whistles and the ringing of bells in the city. After that the siren of the paper mill was blown for every $100,000 worth of bonds reported to the central office as being subscribed. The siren was blown first at 11:10 a. m., and other periods coming in regularity.

Bowlus was the first village to re­port its quota filled. This village has always come to the front in all war ac­tivities and is worthy of no small amount of praise.

The city, with a quota of $175,000, had this amount oversubscribed shortly after 10 p. m. Saturday night by $8,000. The city's going "over the top" was voiced through the streets of the city by a large delegation of men and boys who paraded the streets shouting to the top of their lungs. They were headed by Wm. H. Bastien and Jerome Male-rich, who beat march time on bass and snare drum.

The windows of the Dunn confection­ery and W. H. Clute's barber shop were used as a bulletin board, where the al­lotments of each township, village and city in the county were registered and where the report of the amounts sub­scribed by each of these were recorded during the day. When a precinct went over the top it was registered in red paint.

Morrison county has always raised its quota in every war loan but this dem­onstration of co-operation of its citizens in buying bonds has never been equall­ed. They can feel proud of the showing they have made in helping the govern­ment out in such a splendid way and in backing our boys up who are in the service. The quota of the county was $600,000 and up to the present about $650,000 li.as been subscribed Blue cards were furnished for those who failed to jcome to the polling places to get their allotment or men who refused to pay what their allotment called for. There have been about thirty of such cards handed in to the central office and Mr. Millard states that he will follow cards up to the limit. All delinquents can call for their allotments which are in the hands of the majors in their district or can make a personal visit to Mr. Mil­lard, who will also give them their quota on or before October 6. After that if they have made no attempt to get their quota of bonds they will be called before the central committee who will dispose of each case.

Several precincts have fallen down in filling their quotas and Mr. Millard states that a recanvas will be made to see where the trouble lies.

Following is the quotas and amount subscribed by each precinct:

In a recent letter to his paents, Roy Burt of Randall, now in the trenches in France states that he has been in sev­eral engagements with the enemy and that in one engagement a shell burst so close to him that he was buried by the dirt that it threw up. A piece of the same shell broke the rifle that he Avas using. Charlie Gourd, also of Randall, who is well known in this city as having attended the local business college, is with him .and he states that he is a "regular soldier."

Burt certainly sees the comical side of war as his letter is wholly made up of humorous incidences that have oc-eured since he has been in France.

Kenneth Tourtillott, who is in the navy now on duty off the coast of Hon­duras, recently sent a number of shark's teeth to his home in this city, the teeth of a member of that species i of the finny tribe that he had the honor i and excitement of catching. In a letter that followed he told just how the shark was caught.

He had a large fish hook made by the blacksmith of the ship which he baited with about five pounds of old beef. He u£ed a large wooden box for a bobber which kept the beef about two feet from the serface of the water. In ten minutes he had a shark hooked which he said, it took about all the crew to haul on board.

George Estling has arrived safely overseas according to late word receiv­ed by friends.

Mrs. Mary Treb'by is in receipt of a letter from her son Hiram, who is in the navy, now seeing service in the Orkney Islands. He says that winter has started to set in in that part of universe but that he is as well and fit as ever. He states that he has seen Wayne Cairnes and Alfred Brown, who evidently are on duty in the same wa­ters and that they are both looking well and are getting fat. Trebby has, since leaving the United States, had the honor of seeing a number of the roy­alty of Europe. He has greeted the King of England and the King and Queen of Belgium.

Corporal S. D. Roberts of this city has been made clerk of his company as recent word received by his parents states. ,

. John Tomalla of Pierz, who was gass­ed in France, in a letter to his sister, Tracey Tomalla, of this city, received September 27, states that he left the hospital a week before writing, Sep­tember 8, .and that he expects to soon be back with the Signal corps.

Lt. Otto S. Lauermann is now at Post Field, Ft. Sill, Okla.

Howard Ferrel, who before enlisting in the marines was city editor of the Transcript and who is now seeing ser­vice in France, states in a recent letter to relatives in this city that he had just received his mail and had got 31 letters in one bunch. He says that the last time he saw Richard Meyers, also

i a local boy who was with Ferrel, was when he was being carried to a first aid station when he was wounded in Belleau Woods. He had not seen Ed. Lauermann for some time and saw Graham at the time he was gassed. The two aboved mentioned men are Little Falls boys who are with Ferrel in France. Ferrel says he has it "pretty soft" as he is only doing guard duty and is only on guard six hours a day.

Mike Michalke, who is stationed at Camp Dix, is reported to be suffering from Spanish influenza.

322 FIRST NUMBER IN DRAFT LOT­TERY

The first man to be drawn for the new draft from Morrison county was John Julius Jasorke of Randall, he be­ing number 322, the first number drawn in the draft lottery Monday. This was the number drawn by President Wilson.

RIGHT OFCITIZENSHIP LOST TO THOSE OF NON-ENEMY

COUNTRIES CLAIMING EXEMP­TIONS ON THAT GROUND

Several men who have filled 'out questionnaires with the. local board have claimed exemption on the ground that they are .aliens of non-enemy coun­tries. A law passed since the United States entered the war states that an alien who claims exemption from the draft 0% this account will never, even after the war, be granted citizenship papers.

The local board tihinks that those who have claimed exemption on this ground do not understand as they might have got it mixed with the alien enemy clause, or are not aw,are of the penalty in making this exemption plea and the press is used to explain it to them. Men who wish to withdraw the plea can do so bjr calling air the office of the local board and if they wish it, will be put in some other class. If the men still wish to evade the draft bv giving this

of subscribers who are regular payers, instead of the papers of those who do not assist us to succeed in these particu­lar times, when newspaper conditions are harder to meet than they have ever been, at least since we have been in the business. And we need the paying subscriber.

The price of subscription will also be raised, as has previously been stated, and it is up to all our subscribers to pay all arrearages and one year in ad­vance, if they desire to take advantage of the present price of $1.50 per year. Further demands of the government would not be surprising.

By the consolidation of the two lists we will meet the demands of the gov­ernment, and at the same time largely increase the circulation of the Herald, thus giving a greater service through the one medium, both to the public and the advertiser.

The deal does not affect the Daily Transcript, which will continue to fill its field as usual.

The Herald has always been a paper of very general circulation, both in the city and county and with the addition of the Weekly Transcript list, it will cover the field more thoroughly than ever.

To guarantee remaining on the list it would be well for you to attend to the matter at once. We would be pleased to have all our subscribers help us meet the government's requirements. Your last receipt, or the date on your paper gives you the date of your subscription. Don't wait for a bill. DO IT NOW!
