AH of the i boards are certifying their lists of the examined men and sending them in to thetdistrict board to have the claims gone over for the second time. The local board may draft a man into the army, but any case may be appealed to the higher board. The real duties of the district board is to take up all industrial claims, but they will also' lislen to all cases on which the local board has ruled The last district to notify men that they were drafted into the army j is the Third, in the Patterson building. Forty-one men were notified that they passed their examinations and filed no exemption claims and seventeen whose claims were disallowed. Are Raising an Army. "We are here to raise an army," said Chairman McCombs, "not to sat isfy the desire of the exemption claim ants." Twenty cases were taken up that had claimed exemption, but only two were allowed. One man's claims were turned down who alleged support of a wife and six children. It happened that the man was married last May, so the board decided that the claim should not be allowed. 1 When it was understood that the board was only going to allow claims with the very best evidence some of the men asking exemption began to worry and have already withdrawn their claims. It is somewhat of a surprise for the board to take these men, as the majority of other dis tricts are exempting the men with dependents. Nineteen Out of Fifty. Out of the third fifty names to come before the board in the Sixth district nineteen were chosen for service, two failed to appear and twenty-nine were exempted . There are so. many clatmrbcing al lowed in this district that more men were called for examination. Fifty per cent of the number called for the first quota have now been notified to appear for their tests. The lists of, those notified yester day for service follows: THIRD DISTRICT.

Short Cut to Citizenship Under the New Ruling A shortcut to United States jciti zenship is now possible, says Lieu tenant Waddell of the navy recruit ing office, because of a recent dicision of the Navy department. "According to the new ruling, men who have taken ogt only their first naturalization papers may now enter the naval reserves as cooks or bakers," he said. "Provided, of course, they are not citizens of an enemy country, "And according to the well known regulation, men who have served in the navy for a year are eligible to citizenship. "Thus, a man who has just taken out his first papers may then join this branch of the service and in a year be accepted as a citizen of the United States. If he does not take this means of shortening his term of waiting he must wait three years after his first papers are filed until he can be natur alized." After a year as a cook or baker the man may become a ciiizen of the United States and be transferred to the regular navy, on the same footing as other citizens and liable to the same promotions. Three Divorce Pleas Are Granted by Judge Leslie A grocer, a slenoeraDher and a la borer lost their wives in divorce court Tuesday morning.

Stegman .struck her and abused her, was granted a de cree. Stegman is a laborer. Wharton Gets Big Check For a Little Pile of Corn John C. Wharton, e&postniaster and farm magnate, has a check which he thinks is epoch-making. It is for $113.16 and is in payment for 525 bushels of com which he sold from one of his farms at Gretna, Neb. The price was $2.31 a' bushel. , It was trom the Ivlo crop, said Colonel Wharton. "I just held on to it to see how high it would go and I think it brought about the top notch price. I can well remember my father selling corn at 10 cents a bushel. He used to haul in a big wagonload con taining thirty bushels and get $3 for the whole load. Times certainly have changed. ' Senator Millard suggested that Col onel Wharton keep the check as a souvenir. But the colonel says he thinks he will need it to buy coal.

To lay in coal, or not to lay in coal is still a perplexing question with many and the result is that the coal dealers here have their bins so full they cannot put. In more. This docs not mean that they are overstocked or that they have more j coal than'the city needs. j On the other ltand it means that I unless someone buys coal soon and j gets some of these Jiins empty, so the dealers can fill them up again, there ' will be a coal shortage in Omaha this winter.- .... ; Coal 's high, to be sure. It'inay be higher l.i the fall and.winfer. It did not take the usual drop during the summer months, though thousands are still waiting for that drop. Meantime September and the cool nights and mornings are rapidly ap proaching. May Be Reduced. Meantime Heibert Hoover has also been given new authority in the food situation and many are looking for him to reduce the price of Coal. Whether be can or cannot do this remains to be seen. Again, whether he can or cannot re duce the price of coal at the mines will make little difference to the coal consumer in Omaha if the winter catches this great city without a suf ficient supply of coal on hand to run the population. Every coal dealer's bin is full. Many of the dealers have cars of coal here on the tracks now that they can not unload because their bins are full and no one is buying, though fall is approaching. As an example, the C. W. Hull company has 100 cars of coal on the tracks around Twenty-seventh and Vi:ton streets and cannot unload a shovelful of it because their own bins are so full. To Be Car Shortage. The Omaha Traffic club has re cently gone over the car situation and given out the estimate that after Sep tember 1 the available car supply for commercial purposes will be reduced by 35 per cent by reason of the move ment of troops and supplies for the cantonments. This w'll meaiuit will be difficult to move coal after that date, yet Omaha is approaching fall with no coal in the basements of the homes and with the bins of the dealers con taining only enough to withstand the cold weather of a few weeks. Omaha must depend upon the constant move ment t coal by rail unless some early supplies rre laid in. Were Headed West to Join Forces With I. W. W. Driven from home ' by his grand mother, Fred Senback, Evanston, III., started for "somewhere out west" to find his father whom he has not seen for several years. He was joined by William Mickles of Mortongrove, 111., homeless, a cripple and unable to find work at his trade. Enroute they met Fred Day also of Evanston, fired by the stories of excitement in the bound less west told by Industrial Workers of the World organizers. The boys gave the ages of 17 years, although they do not look the part, when arrested for vagrancy here. They were given into the custody of probation officers to be cleaned up after their journey in "side door Pull mans." Day will be returned to his parents. Probation officers will en deavor to find work lor the other two boys who like Omaha and wish to make their home here. Mickels is a printer and Senback is a machinist helper. ' t Suit for Injunction in Paving Row is Postponed The injunction suit of Bauer & Johnson, paving contractors, against the Callahan Construction company and the county board, which resulted from the letting of a contract by the commissioners to the Callahan com pany for putting in one mile of 'Fin ley method" process road, has been indefinitely postponed because of the illness of a member of the family eof one of the attorneys in the. case. Bauer & Johnson also ask the court to compel the county board to award them a contract for putting in sev eral miles of county roads by their own method on the grounds they sub mitted the lowest bid. The injunction suit is.the outgrowth of a paving row Deiween tne two riyai companies.

Modifies Restraining Order Of Iowa Lodge of A. 0. U. W. Judge Leslie, sitting in equity court, modified the restraining -order ob tained by the Iowa grand lodge of the Ancient Order of United Work men against the Nebraska grand lodge of the same order, so as to allqw the lodges of the cornhusker state now organized to collect dues and continue to hold meetings. The Iowa organization brought suit in district court against the Ne biaska grand lodge several days ago in an attempt to enjoin the order from operating under the name of the "Nebraska grand lodge of the An cient Order of United Workmen."
