The committee appointed by Attor- | ney Newell Jennings to assist the drafted men in filling out their ques- tionnaires has begun, its work, which it is thought will require about a month to complete. At last night's session of the committee only eightl men were taken care of through a ' misunderstanding which is prevalent among” the men who have question- naires to answer. The committee wishes it understood that they fill out and answer the questions as com- pletely as possible and then to come to the committee for help Wwith the questions they do not think they are capable of filling ount ‘themselves. All questionnaires should be filled out with ink. According to the rule it is neces- sary for any drafted man who claims exemption on account of dependents, to bring these dependents with him if they are over 16 years of age, to sup- port his affidavit when he signs the papers. It is also necessary for all drafted men who claim exemption on account of agricultural or industrial reasons, to procure an affidavit from their employers supporting the claim. If the drafted men will read and answer carefully the questions under series 11 and 12, they will be in a better plsition to support any claims for exemption on these two grounds. R. C. Usher, the town clerk, will be at his office in the Grange hall from 9 to 5 every day and will be willing to assist any of the drafted men in filling out the questionnaires at any i | i THE HARTFORD SILK STORE—THE STORE OF SUPERIOR VALUES CARRY PARCELS WHEN POSSIBLE HARTFORD Christmas Gifts ‘Will Be Exchanged Up to January the 3rd.
