IDAHO S |THE COTTONWOOD CHRONICLE O A | | ~J We cater to the Commercial Trade Tables Supplied with Best in the Market | a Spamsistsnccrn hen ee FRIDAY, NOV. 23, 1917 Copy for change of ad must be handed in by Wednesday noon to insure change New Draft Rules. The five classes into which 9,000,- 000 men registered for military duty — | and those who are registered hereafter —are divided and the order in which they will be called for service were of- | ficially announced Nov. 14 in theprovost marshal general’s questionaire, which every registered man must fill out and file. The order shows some change from the ‘tentative draft published some time ago. The second draft will be made about the middle of February. Contrary to some published reports jit does not exempt married men as a class, but it does place married men with dependent wives and children far down on the list of liables. In fact, the questionaire indicates that only men of the first class will be called to the colors except in the gravest emer- gency. The five official classifications of registrants follow. Several classes, not of local interest, are omitted. CLASS 1, A. Single man without dependent relatives. B. Married man with or without children or father of motherless chil- dren who has habitually failed to sup- port his family. C. Married man dependent on his wife for support. D. Married with or without chil- dren, or father of motherless children; man not usefully engaged, family sup- jported by income independent of his | labor, E. Unskilled farm labor. F. Unskilled industria! labor. Registrant by or in respect of whom no deferred classification is claimed or made. Registrant who fails to submit ques- tionaire and in respect of whom no de- ferred classification is claimed or made. All registrants not included in any other division in this schedule. CLASS 2. A. Married man with children or \father of motherless children where such wife or children or such mother- less children are not mainly depend- evt on his labor for support, for the reason that there are other reasonably |certain sources of adequate support, (excluding earnings or possible earn- ings from the labor of the wife), avail- able and that the removal of the reg- istrant will not deprive such depend- | ents of support. B. Married man without children | whose wife although the registrant is engaged in a useful occupation, is not mainly dependent upon his labor for support for the reason that the wife is skilled in some special class of work which she is physically able to perform and in which she is employed, or in | which there is an immediate opening for her under conditions that will en- able her to support herself decently and without suffering or hardship. C. Necessary skilled farm labor in necessary agricultural enterprise. D. Necessary skilled industrial la- | bor in necessary iudustrial enterprise. | CLASS 3. A. Man with dependent children (not his own) but toward whom he stands in relation of parent. B. Man with dependent aged or infirm parents. C. Man with dependent helpless brothers or sisters. D. County or municipal official. | I. Necessary employe in service of United States. J. Necessary assistant, associate or hired manager of necessary agricultur- al enterprise. K. Necessary highly specialized techincal or mechanical expert of nec- jessary industrial enterprise. L. NecessaTy assistant or associate | manager of necessary industrial enter- | prise. CLASS 4. A. Man whose wife or children are mainly dependent on his labor for Support. C. Necessary sole managing, con- | trolling or directing head of necessary | agricultural enterprise. D. Necessary sole managing, con- | trolling or directing head of necessary industrial enterprise. CLASS 5. B. Regular or dyly ordained min- ister of religion. Cc. Student who on May 18, 1917, was preparing for ministry in recog- nized school. E. Alien enemy. F. Resident alien (not an enemy) , Who claims exemption. | Best available estimates indicate | that the first of the five classes into which all draft registrants are to be divided will contain more than 2,000,- 000 subject for duty with the colors before any man in any other class will be called up. ' It is regarded as practically certain that Congress will take up the ques- tion of extending the draft law to cov- er men who have attained the age of 21 since it was enacted, Should that be done and provision made for the ceeds will go to the Red Cross. Built air tight with rivets, not fastened to- gether with stove bolts and putty. If ranges aren’t SUPPOSED to be air tight, why are the seams and joints of the common steel range plastered up with stove put- ty? Ask this of the man who tries to sell you a grey iron and steel range? Everyone who has ever used this kind of range KNOWS how these puttied seams open up, how the range requires MORE and MORE fuel every month it is burned, and the worst of it is, the more fuel it uses, the harder it is to get results. What a contrast to the Monarch—built permanently air-tight by hand riveting its heavy steel plates to the Malleable Iron frames. It does its work just as promptly, with just as little fuel after many years as when new. As stove dealers of long experience we know that the Monarch saves the fuel that is wasted by other ranges. Give us a chance to convince YOU that--- The Monarch Range Actually Pays for Itself! Cottonwood Hdw. & Imp.

In that event no present plans for the Army would reach the men in class two. fly ERS Cottonwood Public School News (Contributed) Floyd South had the highest aver- age of grades in the high school, an average of 97 1-3. Other averages above 90 per cent in their order were: Frances Hattrup, Anita DeCourcey, Raymond Matthiesen, Elma Manwar- ing, Arthur Peterson, Caroline Ter- haar, Ferdie Nacke, Cecilia Nacke, Lee Gentry, Marian MacMaster, Allen McPherson, Mae Asker, Mildred Hen- derson, Anna Peterson and Asker. Only five students had an average below eighty per cent. All of the work on the foundation of the gymnasium is completed and the roof will be raised next week. We expect to have it finished in another month, . The grade teachers gave a candy sale last week and sold $10.70 worth of candy. The proceeds go toward the initial payment on the Victor phono- graph. Jimmie Rogers is a new student in the grammar room. Several volumes of new books have arrived for the high school library. Now the classes in history and social science will have more reference ma- terial. Anita DeCourcey was absent from school the latter part of last week, due to sickness. Spokes otros: Within the last week the price of potatoes has dropped from $1 to 75c per hundred on Camas prairie. Many spud raisers declare they will not sell at the present time, but will “hole-up” their product until a higher price is offered. The yield in most instances has been as good as ever known here.
