Qfrunm THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NEB., NOVEMBER 13, 1917. No. 87 (ihe r4 mPA- HP- EXEMPTION BOAIU OIIIECTEI) TO RE-LIST KXHMl'TM) JIEJi" Just as tho Lincoln county oxemp tlon board is about finishing up tho clerical work connected with tho ex aminations if the past, and a breath-1 tng spell from that class of work soem ol apparent, instructions wore re ceived thib morning that moans iv con tinuation of tho worn; in fact It looksj as though iho clerical work of tho board will bo continued Indefinitely in one form or another. Tho instruc tion received from tho provost mar shal this morning moans going over the draft work which has been done and outline in detail the methods which the local board has employed and tho results It will mean a complete re-listing of all men who havo already been drafted, those exempted for physical unfitness and otherwise. Tho depart ment wants this information in detail and authorizes tho board to call on voluntary help if needed. Six days is tho time givon to complete this work. County Clerk Allen has not had time to fully cmuiuc the instructions, but on tho face of tho directions, it would appear that all men who have been called to make up previous draft quotas and were exempted on any grounds will tq-.nln be listed, but this time in their classified order. Tho new classification takes in all men registered from tho single man who has no exemption and makes none to the invalid within tho age limit. The men arc then to be called according to classes, at least that is the interpreta tion of the Inunctions received here. Tho board will bo called together shortly and go ovei- the latest orders in detail, before proceeding with their task. ' . Nothing definite or official has been received regarding calling out all men registered, to have them examined and classified. : :o: Chas.

Residents of Second Ward, Attention, Do you appreciate tho sacrlfieo tho boys who have enlisted are making for youY If so, show it by subscribing liberally to tho Y. M. C. A. war work fund. In order for you to properly appre ciate what tho soldlors are doing for us, wo should try and place oursolvoa in their stead. They havo left homo and frionds, nil that is near and dear to them. Thoy havo sacrificed them selves on tho altar of their country: They have guio to bare their breasts to tho shot and shell of tho field and tho knlfo and bayonet of tho trench. Thoy cannot come home, they wan hardly hear from homo in tho ordinary way of communication. Put yoursolf in tlioir place Many a poor follow will long for friends and homo and loved ones many a timo with a sad heart. You can help this condition mater ially by tho showing of tho sacrifice in subscribing to the work of the Y. M. C. A., which this .week is gathering funds over tho nation, adequate for the eroctlon of buildings and equipment that will be as near like home to thorn as it is possible to make, when not in actual fjonflict. Think it over earn estly. Let your mind dwell on it. Give every dollar you' can. Be ready with it when tho committoo calls on you so aslo conserve their time as much as you can. A committeo of ten business men are working in tho ward this week. Ev ery house in the ward will 'bo visited. These men havo all made liberal sub scriptions before thoy started out and in addition are taking their timo (and I assure you they are all busy men) In visiting every one to collect the funds needed to carry on this noble and patriotic work. All tho money col lected goes direct into tho war work fund and for the benefit of tho sol diers. Cash Is 'preferable out time can be allowed as follows: 50 per cent In thirty days, 25 per cent tho first of January and 25 per cent tho first of April. It is to bo hoped sincerely that no one will bo so self centered as to turn down tho work. JL H. VAN CLEA3E. , Second Wird Chairman. : :o: ;.

WAR WORK lHIVi: HHUIXS TODAY Kollowlng several meetings hold the lattor part of Inst week, the drive for donations for tho war work of tho Y. M. C. A. will begin today and it is hoped that by Saturday ovoning Lin coln county's nllottmont of four thous and dollars will have been subscribed. The cll both the business and resi dential sections, have been divided in to districts and two solicitors named for oach district. All tho towns in tho county, have, or by tomorrow evening will be, organized, and tho outlying! precincts will bo worked as far as pos" sible, committees In each of them hav ing boon appointed. Tho drive all this woek will bo pushed with vigor. No one will bo allowed to oscapo tho so licitors, and it is hoped that all will respond generously. "Whether this Y. M C. A. war work Is entitled to your support is not de batable. It is highly endorsed by ov ery army officer, by every man who has visited tho training and canton ment camps, and by the boys who are in tho camps. Through this fund that boy of yours or your neighbor's boy will have tho advantage of social, amuscmont, physical nnd rollgioua features; ho will have some place to spend his hours when off duty, a 'place to read, to write, to seo moving pic tures nnd other ontortatnm'ents, to attend religious exercises; in fact to have as good and as pleasant environ ments as ho would have at home. Those facilities mean a clean life, aj moro enjoyable life, a life that makes! each soldier a better man. Place your self in the position of the boys in camp! who do intensive drilling during tho day. If It were not for the Y. M. C. A. what would they do for recreation and amusement? Lay around their tents In idleness, become dissatisfied and discontented and finally Jiate them selves and the government. But with tho Y. M. C. A. furnishing them social, entertaining and religious features thoy have some place to go, and thoy certainly go. Every evening the as sociation buildings aro filled; each Soldier boy looks forward to his lelsuro hours -with keen anticipation, for he knows there Is something good In store for him. The- Tribune hopes every man and woman in North Platto and Lincoln county will subscribe to this fund. If a solicitor fails to find you, send in your donation to Harry Dixon and ho will soo that you receive credit. If you can't spare ton dollars, give five, if not five give what you can, but bo suro to give some amount. FOR KENT Antl-Frcczlnp; storage room. Five room .cottage, modern, excepting licnt.

Tho undersigned physicians of North Platt6, Nebraska wish to ondorso tho resolution of tho Board of Education, urging vaccination by scarification of all pupils in tho ccity schools. The highly contagious nnturo of small-pox togothor with tho mild symptoms, makos a quarantine of all cases practically Impossible. To prohibit public meetings would close all schools, churches, parties and amusomont8 for a period of six to eight weeks to bo of any valuo nt all. This would also practically suspend nil business which would bo a hard- .bin on the oommitnttv na n wimin if 'is tho nature of epidemics to bocomo moro serious and sovcro tho longer chocked as Bpoodlly as possible. . j Universal vaccination is tho only means by which this can bo nccom- pllshod and wo urgo overy ono who has not had a BUOccssful vacclnntlon within three years to bo vaccinated.
